Authors Note: SVU premiere tonight was sooo good! Please read and please review, let me know what you think :)

Olivia woke up on the couch. It was 6:29 am. She knew her day would soon be beginning. Standing up she walked into the kitchen and made a pot of coffee. While she waiting for it to finish, she thought back to the weeks that followed after she found out she was pregnant.

The alarm clock went off; Olivia moaned and covered her face with her hands. Brian chuckled and reached over her to shut it off.

Olivia uncovered her face and smiled at him. "18 weeks pregnant today. 5 months."

Brian smiled and put his hand on her stomach. "I wonder when the baby will start kicking."

"We should begin to feel it anytime now." She smiled. She brushed the blankets off herself, revealing her small baby bump. She sat up and climbed out of the bed, heading straight to the bathroom. Her bladder was weak now. The baby was always pressed up against it.

When she re-entered the bedroom Brian was just finishing getting dressed. Olivia started getting herself ready for another boring day at work. She was so excited she was pregnant, but she hated desk duty. She missed going to crime scenes.

Olivia put on her maternity clothes and followed Brian out of the bedroom. They both grabbed an apple and a muffin and headed out to the car.

Brian opened the car door and helped Olivia get into it. Every day since she got pregnant Brian drove her to and from work. He wanted to make sure she was safe.

When they arrived at Olivia's precinct Brian helped her out, "I love you two, stay safe for me today."

She smiled back at him, "We love you too. You stay safe for us."

Brian watched as Olivia walked into the precinct.

When she entered the precinct Nick greeted her. "How are you today?"

"I'm good. Hungry though." She walked over to her desk; Fin pulled her chair out for her and helped her sit down.

"You guys really don't have to constantly be by my side. I am okay."

"We just want to keep you and the baby safe, Liv." Nick sat on the edge of Olivia's desk.

Olivia bit into her apple and nodded. She looked at the stack of paperwork she had to get through. She was right; it was going to be a long, boring day.

Olivia sat on her couch sipping her coffee. She looked beside her on the couch and saw the pregnancy album she hadn't finished looking at. She opened it to where she left off, smiling at the pictures she saw in front of her.

Olivia stood up and rubbed her back. Sitting for so long had started hurting her back. Cragen looked through his office window and saw Olivia pacing and rubbing her lower back. He stood up and opened the door.

"Olivia, a word?"

Olivia walked over to his office, still rubbing her back. She entered his office and stood in front of his desk.

"Olivia, I think you need a break. You are pregnant and working a very stressful job. You don't need to be stressed out."

"I don't need a break, my back just hurts."

"I still want you to take a break."

"That's not necessary."

"Go home Liv. Get Fin or Nick or someone to drive. Call Brian I don't care. I just want you to take a few days."

Olivia groaned, "I'm fi-"

Cragen cut her off, "Don't do it for me Olivia, do it for your baby."

Olivia put a hand on her bump. She looked up at Cragen, "Fine. Only three days. No more than that."

Cragen nodded and walked her to the door. "Can someone drive Olivia home?"

Fin stood up and grabbed his cars keys. "I will." Olivia followed Fin out of the precinct. Fin got into the car and Olivia got into the passenger side.

"So you getting excited? Only 4 more months." Fin smiled and started driving down the busy street.

Olivia smiled and rubbed her belly, "Yeah. It seems so soon yet so far. I can't wait to meet the baby."

"Brian getting excited too?"

"Oh yes. He came home yesterday with a little pink dress. It's so tiny and cute. We don't know what we are having, but he is convinced it's a girl."

"What do you think it is?"

She smiled, "A boy."

Fin smiled. "I'm so happy for you."

She smiled at him, "Thank you." She whispered.

They arrived at Olivia and Brian's apartment building. Fin helped her out of the car and walked her upstairs. They arrived at her apartment, they said their goodbyes and Olivia shut the door and walked into the apartment. She took off her shoes and walked into the bedroom, putting on sweat pants and one of Brian's T-shirts. As she was walking down the hall, she looked into what was going to be the baby's nursery.

So far all they had done was the walls painted a happy yellow and the hard wood floor was replaced with a soft carpet. Brian told Olivia that Saturday they would go buy baby furniture, clothes, toys and other things they would need for their newborn in a few months. She was so excited since tomorrow was Saturday.

Olivia walked out and went into the living room. She had a craving for Chinese food. She chuckled and picked up the phone. Over the past 5 months she was guessing she had ordered Chinese food at least 3 times a week. Chinese food, pickles and Oreo cookies was all she wanted to eat. She hung up the phone and waited for her food to arrive.

Her phone started ringing, it was Brian. She smiled and answered, "Hey."

"Hey Liv. Are you at home?"

"Yeah, Cragen sent me home."

"Okay, I am on my way home now. Do you want me to pick up something for supper?"

"No I ordered Chinese."

He laughed, "Of course you did. I'll see you in 20 minutes. Love you."

"Love you." She hung up the phone just as the delivery guy knocked on the door. She stood up and grabbed her purse off the island. She paid the delivery guy and brought the food inside. She pretty much ripped open the bag to get to the food. She fixed herself a plate and brought it to the couch.

Brian walked in to see her inhaling her food. "Olivia slow down."

Olivia looked up at him, she had sauce all around her mouth and a few noodles hanging out of her mouth. Brian couldn't help but laugh. "Your face is filthy." Brian quickly took out his phone and snapped a picture of her, she was laughing with a mouthful.

Olivia laughed at the picture of herself in the album. She didn't plan on putting this picture in the album, but it was so funny, and Brian was always telling her it was a picture that could always cheer him up.

Olivia was laying in bed reading a baby name book. Brian walked into the room wearing his sweatpants. He crawled into the bed, lying next to Olivia. "What are you reading?"

"Baby names. We only have 4 months and we have no names picked out yet."

Brian nodded. "Are there any you like?"

"How about we each say 2 girl names we like and 2 boy names we like?"

Brian nodded. "Okay, you first."

"Well for a boy I like Austin and Benjamin, and for a girl I like Lilly and Jasmine."

Brian smiled, "I like Austin, not Benjamin. And I like Lilly, Jasmine is okay, but I have a different favourite."

Olivia smiled. "What are yours?"

"For a boy I like Adam and Luke, and for a girl I like Sarah. And my favourite name is Nicole. I love that name."

Olivia smiled and kissed Brian lightly. "I love Nicole too."

Brian smiled and leaned back into the bed. Olivia put the book on the side table and was about to shut the lamp off when she gasped and put her hands on her stomach.

"Olivia! What's wrong?" Brian sat up and pulled her to a sitting position.

Olivia shook her head and lay back down. She took Brian's hand and put onto her stomach. Brian felt tears in his eyes. He felt their baby kicking against his hand.

"Amazing. This is so amazing." Brian was almost speechless. He flipped over onto his stomach and put both his hands on Olivia's baby bump. Olivia chuckled at how fascinated he was. She put her hands on her belly, trying to feel the baby.

"Does it hurt?" Brian's eyes were still on the baby bump, tears threatening to spill over.

Olivia shook her head. "It doesn't hurt."

Olivia was starting to fall asleep when she heard Brian beginning to talk to the baby.

"Hello in there. I don't know if you can hear me. I can't wait to meet you. Your mommy and I love you so much."

Olivia smiled at him and fell asleep listening to Brian talk to their baby.

Olivia wiped tears from her eyes remembering that moment. She wished she had a picture of Brian's face when he felt the kicks. It was a priceless expression that she would never forget. The memory of that night made her smile. That was also another night of changes in Olivia's never ending roller coaster ride.
