Chapter 12

All disclaimers exist

Olivia called Jane while they were on their way to Cedars to let her know that they were out of the office for a while and just to go ahead on up to her suite and that she would talk to her later.

While at Cedars, Doris and Blake waited out in the waiting room, while Natalia and Olivia were taken back to an exam room to be seen.

Both Olivia and Natalia were scared waiting for the test results to come back to decide their fate.

Olivia was scared as hell that Natalia if pregnant would patch things up with Frank, but then again after everything that Frank had done and how he acted recently it wasn't likely. But the thought was just nagging in the back of her mind.

Natalia on the other hand was terrified of loosing Olivia if she were pregnant with Frank's baby. She knew that on her part there was not a chance in hell of going back to Frank. It just wasn't an option plain and simple. She loved and was completely in love with Olivia and she was her life. She didn't know that if she was in fact pregnant with Frank's baby that Olivia could handle it. It wouldn't be fair to ask Olivia to take on this responsibility, for her to be tied to Frank for the rest of her life. But no matter what, she would not or will not raise this child with Frank. If she was pregnant she would want Olivia to be there as it's other mommy and raise it with her. And truthfully Frank had a warrant out for his arrest; so technically he wouldn't be an immediate threat or interference, and that would be the bright side of it. But first and foremost they needed those test results before anything could be decided.

"Olivia?"

"Yes sweetheart."

"If it turns out that I am pregnant, I want to raise this baby with you."

"What? Olivia said softly and a bit stunned.

"I don't want anything to do with Frank and I most certainly don't want to loose you!"

"You mean that you wouldn't want to raise this baby with Frank?"

"God No… even if you and I weren't in love Olivia, I wouldn't want to raise a child with him."

Olivia relaxed a little and said "we don't know if you are or not, but if you are; I would never leave you. I am so in love with you Natalia that I can't imagine not being with you."

"I feel the same way, but if I am pregnant it wouldn't be fair to ask you to be tied to him for the rest of our lives."

"Thank you for being thoughtful and thinking of sparing me but honestly Natalia, I have always wanted more children. I have always wanted a bunch of kids…not necessarily like this but I am not walking away from you or our family. Our family is everything to me and I can't live without you."

"You really want more kids someday?"

"Yeah, I do. What about you?"

"I have always wanted a house full of kids too, but being all alone and raising Rafe alone…I just couldn't see it happening. I had my son and that was all I needed until now. I need you and Emma like I need air to breathe."

"And you have us… we aren't going anywhere my love."

Doris and Blake are uncomfortably sitting in the waiting room and it doesn't exactly pertain to Olivia and Natalia.

Doris would stop in at Company every morning for coffee and she and Blake would talk. You could say kinda building a friendship. But Doris was enjoying those conversations…maybe a little too much so she started to pull away a little and not stop in every morning because out of the blue she just couldn't stop thinking about a certain red head.

Blake was also enjoying those morning visits and the conversations with the Mayor. More like banter and flirting but it was communicating and seeing Doris every morning. Blake knew that Doris was into women but never let the mayor know that she knew her secret.

On the other hand, Doris knew that Blake was straight and honestly she didn't know how to handle that she was having feelings for her friend. She had talked to Olivia about it and her friend suggested taking a step back to review things, and that's what she was doing.

"How come you haven't been stopping in at Company in the morning for your coffee?" Blake asked.

"I have been pretty busy lately and going into the office earlier than usual." This wasn't a total lie. She had been busier than usual but it wasn't the only reason for going in early. She was avoiding Blake, just like she is now with not making eye contact.

Doris was looking everywhere and anywhere but at Blake and the red head noticed it.

"Why, you miss me?" Doris asked trying to be her usual smart ass self, but in truth she really wanted to know.

"Actually, yes I do. I enjoy it when you come in and we talk and joke around. I miss how we banter back and forth." Blake said honestly…shocking herself a little. It was her way of letting Doris know that there was more to it, and now it's up to Doris to get the hint. 'Did she?' Blake wondered.

'Oh my, is she saying what I think she is saying? No, that can't be.' "So, what are you saying Blake?" Doris asked needing to hear it from her.

"Doris, you are a smart woman; I think you can figure it out."

Doris just kinda sat there a little dumbfounded.

Olivia and Natalia are sitting holding hands and anxiously awaiting for the test result when Dr. Rick came into the room.

Olivia instantly stood never letting go of her girlfriend's hand.

"So… am I pregnant?"

"No, you are not pregnant." Rick said.

Both women let out a sigh of relief.

"So what is wrong with me?"

"Well, I know that you have had a lot of stress the last couple of days from what you both have told me; so I am thinking it is either stress related or just some 24 hour stomach bug which has been going around. I suggest that you relax and take it easy for a day or two and if your symptoms persist just call me."

"Ok, so we are free to go?" Olivia asked.

"Yep, just make sure she takes it easy."

"Oh, I will, you can bet on that." Olivia said as Rick left the room.

When Olivia and Natalia walked into to waiting room both Doris and Blake stood up anxious to hear what the verdict was. "So?" Both Doris and Blake said at the same time.

"The test was negative" Natalia said.

"So why are you throwing up?" Doris asked.

"Rick said it was either the stress or a 24 hour bug" says Olivia. "He said to get plenty of rest, relax and drink plenty of fluids."

"Well, that's good news considering…" Doris said. "There still isn't any word on Frank yet, so let's get you two back to the Beacon and then Blake and I will go to the farm house and get your things."

Once back at the Beacon, Olivia gave Doris a run down of everything she and Natalia would need and where to find their suite cases.

Olivia had decided that she was going to go to the seminar in Florida and Natalia was going with her. The Latina didn't know it yet so it was going to be a surprise. This was what Olivia was thinking about while they were waiting for the test results. 'Natalia will be surprised, I'll just take her away from here for a week and then she can relax and not have to worry about the situation with Frank or be stressed out because of him. Now I just need to set the plan in motion once Natalia lays down, but first I have to get her to lay down again…good luck with that Spencer.'

Natalia walked into Olivia's office "Honey?"

"Hey sweetheart, I was just gonna stop by your office, everything alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine…just tired is all."

"Well, why don't you go up stairs and lay down for a little while…I can hold down the fort. I'm almost done here anyways and then I will be up soon."

"Are you sure? Because, I can help."

"Nope, I got it, you just go ahead and I'll be right up."

"But…"

"No but's…doctors orders remember?"

"Yeah, ok" Natalia said as she turned to leave.

"Hey?" Olivia called to her.

"Yeah?"

"Where's my kiss?" Olivia said standing up and walking around her desk and taking her girlfriend in her arms and kissing gently. "Mmm" Olivia said, I love you."

"I love you too."

Olivia brings her hand up and caresses Natalia's cheek, "we are gonna get through this Baby…I promise."

"Together."

"Always."

"Ok, Natalia says; I'll see you soon" as she kisses her love once more before she heads up stairs.

Olivia went back to sit at her desk and picked up the phone to call Phillip.

"Hey Phillip, it's Olivia"

(….)

"Yeah, for the most part everything is ok."

(….)

"No, Emma is fine."

(….)

"But we have some issues with Frank Cooper…"

Olivia explained everything to her ex-husband. "Well, I was thinking about not wanting Emma around all of this. She has already been through enough with last night, and I know you want to spend time with her so I was thinking maybe it would be best if she stayed with you while Natalia and I are in Florida and until all this blows over."

(…)

"I know you would, and this is your chance to prove yourself as you have promised that you have changed."

(….)

"That's not necessary."

(….)

"I have increased security around here."

(….)

"I was going to book our flights for tomorrow morning."

(….)

"Ok, ok if you insist."

(….)

"Alright, then we'll see you in about an hour then."

(….)

"Ok, bye."

Olivia quickly called the hotel where the seminar was supposed to be, and found that all the rooms were booked accept for one of the suites. She said she would gladly take it and booked it for the next 7 days. They would be there from Wednesday to Wednesday. This way they had time together before the seminar which ran from Friday- Sunday and then she and Natalia had more time together afterwards. This also gave Springfield PD a chance to find Frank and take care of business. She also booked a limo to pick them from the airport. The hotel had rental cars for those who stayed in their suites and decided that they may take advantage if they wanted and drive up the Gulf Coast or something.

Now, that Olivia's plans are set in motion, she was done for the day and locked up her office and headed upstairs to be with her family.
