So, I have now reached the pint in the story where Delia and Olivia are considering baby names and if you give me some suggestions, I might consider using some of them, but you would just have to let me know. Anyway, you know the drill. I do not own any SVU characters, but I do own the unrecognizable ones. Remember suggest some baby names. I also figured that this chapter should be a happy one considering what had happened to Olivia in the last couple of chapters. I figured that I should probably give the poor girl a break! Seriously though, remember the baby names! And don't forget to review! Enjoy!
Chapter 9:
When Delia and Olivia arrived back at the house, the both of them went upstairs to go and get changed. The security team took their original places in and around the house and never said a word about anything that happened. Not on them wanted to make Delia angry by disrespecting her wishes.
Delia helped Olivia get out of her dress and helped her get changed into her night clothes. She got dressed in a light blue night gown that ended just before her knees and was completely sleeveless. Delia got undressed and put on a white tank-top and some black sweatpants. She grabbed Olivia's hand and pulled her into a hug. Olivia let out the breath that she didn't even know she was holding and sank into Delia's arms. Delia wrapped her arms around Olivia as best she could into her typical possessive position; subconsciously letting Olivia know that she was safe and that no one was going to get anywhere near her as long as she could help it. Delia rested her chin on the top of Olivia's head and let out a deep breath. The both of them just stood there for a while; happy to just be in the company of each other's arms. Delia wasn't letting go of Olivia until she told her to do so. Olivia was the first to speak.
"Delia I'm okay now. I promise."
"Are you sure, Lovey? I can stay here as long as you need me to."
"Really Delia. I'm okay." There was a small pause before Delia spoke again.
"Lovey…" Delia swallowed hard before she spoke. "Lovey, tell me what he did. I want to know." Delia looked down at Olivia who, in turn, looked up at her.
"No, you don't Delia. Besides, he didn't do anything bad."
"Well, something made you upset and I want to know what it was. Whatever it was, I want to make him pay for what he did to you." Olivia swallowed and released herself from Delia's grip. She knew that she had said something to make Olivia upset and she desperately wanted to know what things this man had done to make the love of her life so upset. Olivia turned to walk out onto the balcony. Delia followed her and put her hands on Olivia's shoulders. She kissed her right shoulder, then the side of her neck, and then she kissed the top of her head.
"Lovey, please. Tell me what he did. I want to know." Delia looked straight ahead at the garden preparing herself to hear the worst. She rested her chin on the top of Olivia's head and both of them put their hands on Olivia's stomach; Olivia's underneath of Delia's.
Olivia swallowed. "He, he…um," Olivia was having trouble forming the words in her mouth. She didn't know why, after all, he really didn't do anything to her. It wasn't as bad as what he could have done, but she was completely helpless with her very large stomach; and she hated it. "He turned me around and put his disgusting hand over my mouth and pushed me up against wall." Delia could feel Olivia shaking so she held her tighter.
"it's okay, Lovey. I'm right her," Delia reminded her.
"He pulled out a knife and he…he…" Olivia felt a stray tear fall down her face. The next part Olivia said quietly for fear of Olivia's reaction. "He put the knife up to my stomach and said that if I screamed, he would cut my stomach. Delia, I didn't know what to do he just- "
"Shhh, it's okay, Lovey. He's not here. I'm here, with you." Delia's tone was stern. That disgusting man threatened to kill her family and she wasn't going to just let Rojas slip through the cracks. He was getting every bit that he deserved. "Did he do anything else?" Delia questioned her, but she didn't want to make Olivia feel uncomfortable, especially after what had happened. That was the last thing she wanted to do.
"He um…put his had up my skirt and he…he…" Olivia couldn't get the words out. Delia didn't want to force her to say it and Olivia didn't want to talk about it anymore. Delia turn Olivia around in her arms and hugged her as hard as she could.
"Shhh, Lovey. You don't have to say anymore." They both just stood there for a few more moments before Delia asked Olivia if she wanted to got to bed. Olivia just shook her head and then Delia grabbed her arm and pulled her inside. She sat Olivia down on the bed and covered her up. Delia walked back over to the open doors and shut them. She finally got into bed with Olivia and took her into her arms. Olivia layed her head on Delia's tear-soaked shirt and Delia kissed the top of her head.
"Goodnight, Lovey. I promise I won't let anything happen to you." Delia didn't take her eyes off of Olivia until she fell asleep and even then, she still waited a little while longer. When she finally did fall asleep, she never let go of Olivia.
The next morning, when Delia woke up, she found that Olivia was sitting out on the balcony in one of the armchairs again. She had gotten changed out of her night gown, which surprised Delia because she always needed help with changing in the morning, and was wrapped in a blanket up to her elbows and had two pillows behind her back. She had a different book this time, because she finished the other one, but it looked like she hadn't started it yet.
Delia kissed Olivia for a long time to wake her up. Olivia smiled into the kiss and shivered a little due to the sudden contact coming from Delia.
"Good morning, Lovey. You tried to read a new book," Delia asked as she gestured toward the unopened hardcover on the balcony table.
"I tried to, but I think I fell asleep before I got a chance to." Olivia smiled and looked up at Delia.
"Come on, Lovey," Delia said as she helped a very pregnant Olivia out of the chair, "Lets go downstairs. The new patio furniture just came in and I had Gabe set it up while you were asleep."
Delia got changed and then the both of them went downstairs. Delia helped Olivia get situated on the new bench on the back patio with her pillows and Delia grabbed Olivia's feet to put them in her lap. Delia grabbed the book off of the new table that sat in front of the couch and opened it. She began to read the new crime novel and, as she did, Olivia leaned her head back a little.
After reading a few chapters, Delia noticed that Olivia had been wincing for a little while.
"Lovey, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, they're just kicking a lot today. That's all."
"You seen tired. Did you sleep at all last night? Were they keeping you up? Do you want to go back to bed or do you want to- "
"Delia," Olivia said loudly with a little bit of a laugh, "They just started kicking a little while ago. I'll be fine. I promise I'm okay. Here," Olivia said as she grabbed Delia's hand and gently placed it on her stomach. A small foot kicked Delia's hand and she smiled. She then leaned down so that her face was level with Olivia's stomach.
"Maybe you guys should stop playing kickball in there. You're starting to tenderize Mommy's stomach." Olivia looked down at Delia as she kissed her stomach. Olivia smiled. She was beginning to accept the affection. She enjoyed it and Delia knew it.
Olivia had always been reserved and when Delia took her, she distanced herself even more away from anyone who would show her kindness. Delia couldn't believe that Olivia couldn't get the idea of people actually caring for her through her head. After all that's what Delia is there for.
Delia kissed Olivia's stomach one more time, but made this one last a little longer. Towards the end of the kiss, Delia was starting to get kicked in the mouth.
"Oww," she said as she pulled away quickly and looked at Olivia. She looked back down at her stomach. "You're supposed to tenderize Mommy, not me!"
Olivia couldn't help but laugh. "Don't be putting crazy ideas into their heads, Deels." Delia smiled at Olivia as she used the nickname. Today was a good day.
