Prompt: I can't believe you did this to me, from all-things-raul-esparza
It's been a rough night. Barba is working late at Hogan Place, and Noah has been in rare form, bouncing off the walls and being generally the opposite of his usually even tempered, sweet self.
Finally, with her three year old bathed and tucked into bed, Olivia is able to collapse onto the couch and breathe. Her rest period lasts only eleven minutes (not that she's counting) before the "morning" sickness kicks in, and she has to run for the bathroom.
Which is where her boyfriend finds her a short time later, forehead resting against the cold of the tub; sweaty and clammy and with tears dripping down her face.
"Liv?" Rafael questions, coming into the room and dimming the main light, knowing the bright light doesn't help but she was probably too sick to reach the switch.
She just grunts in response, exhausted and not moving in hopes of keeping the nausea at bay.
He removes his blazer and tie, hanging them on the back of the door before sitting down next to her on the floor, lightly running his hand over her back in a soothing manner.
They sit like that- quiet, in the dim light- for several minutes before Liv feels the nausea leave as quickly as it came. She lifts her head, and holding her arms out for a hug says grudgingly, "I can't believe you did this to me."
He smiles at her, scooting closer and pulling her into an embrace. "I know, I can't believe it either." His voice is full of awe and wonder.
She pulls back to glare at him and smack his shoulder. "Don't sound so proud of yourself. I'm not talking about the fun stuff. I'm talking about the mood swings and the swollen ankles and puking three times a day and crying uncontrollably when Noah says he loves me and being horny and hungry all the time and-"
He stops her with a finger on her lips. "I'm sorry you have to deal with all of this by yourself, that I don't get to share the load for the not so fun parts, but I won't apologize for getting you pregnant because it's the best thing I've ever done and I love this baby so much..."
This time she's the one to cut him off, with a kiss. Letting her lips linger on his for a moment, she uses one hand to lift her shirt and the other to bring his hand to rest on the small bump of their baby, kissing him again then whispering through a smile, "I can't believe you did this to me."
