Brian had been home from the hospital for two days now and Olivia was taking very good care of him. She would fix him breakfast, lunch, and dinner, massage his neck, and even watch sports and eat greasy food.

"How's your shoulder?" Olivia asked as the two of them sat close together on the couch.

"It's better," he said honestly, "Really."

Olivia smiled seductively as she grabbed the remote to flip the television off. "So you wouldn't mind if I did this?" She climbed onto his lap and began kissing him gently on his neck. While he was in the hospital she had missed his touch and touching him. She figured if he was feeling up for it than now was the perfect moment.

"This is nice," Brian whispered as he wrapped his arms around her back protectively, "I've really missed you, Liv."

Olivia pulled away to look into his eyes, "I missed you too. I was so scared, Bri… I thought I had lost you."

Brian gave her a sad smile before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, "I wouldn't let you get rid of me that easy," he teased, "Face it, you're stuck with me."

Olivia chuckled and climbed off of him so she could rest her head on his uninjured shoulder. They were silent for a couple minutes until Olivia spoke again. "All I could think about was never getting to see you again," she whispered with her eyes already watering. "Our son would never get to see his Dad."

"I'm here now, Liv," he assured her, "I'm going to be okay."

She nodded as the tears fell loosely down her cheeks, "I love you, Bri."

"I love you too," he said, "Which is why I want to be your husband."

Olivia pulled away from him and just stared with her brown eyes wide in shock. Her mouth felt like cotton and her heart was thudding loud in her chest. She watched, speechless, as Brian stood off the couch and got down in front of her on one knee.

"Olivia Benson, ever since our first days working at SVU, I loved you; everything about you. From your gorgeous smile that can radiate any room and your piercing brown eyes. I wasn't going to propose because I didn't want you to think that I was doing it just because you were pregnant… but, I can't wait any longer. I love you more than anything, Olivia, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Olivia watched with tears streaming down her face as Brian reached into his pocket and pulled out a black velvet box.

"Will you marry me?" He opened the box and a giant gold ring with a crystal diamond flashed in front of Olivia.

"Yes," she whispered, feeling as if she were dreaming. "Yes." She leapt off of the couch and wrapped her arms tight around his neck.

"Ow," he grimaced.

"I'm sorry!" Olivia said pulling away, "I forgot! Are you okay?"

"I'm perfect," he answered as he took the ring out of the box and gently slid it onto Olivia's ring finger.

"It fits," Olivia smiled, "and it's beautiful." She went to hug him again but was more careful this time. She wasn't sure how long they had held each other but now the sun was well dipped behind the horizon. When she finally pulled away she kissed him passionately on the lips and told him she loved him again.

"Now you're really stuck with me," he teased as they walked together into the bedroom to get ready for bed.

"I wouldn't trade it for the world."

That night when they cuddle in bed together they didn't argue about anything. They shared the blanket and they both slept peacefully. Olivia couldn't believe the day she had had. Brian proposed. She never suspected it. She couldn't wait to get married to him and walk down the aisle to see him standing at the altar. She could just picture him all handsome looking with his suit on. She couldn't wait to tell Cragen and Fin and everybody at the precinct. They were going to be just as happy as her. They all wanted her to be happy and they could see that Brian accomplished that.

"I'm pregnant and I'm getting married," Olivia whispered to herself once she was sure that Brian was asleep. "Who would have ever predicted that?"

"I would," Brian mumbled without opening his eyes.

A smile lit up Olivia's face before she closed her eyes. She knew this was the perfect decision.

Aw, yay! Thank you for reviewing!
