It's been a month since Olivia had slept with Nick, Bernie had died, and Elliot hurt Olivia. Elliot was still sleeping in the guest room; they haven't had sex at all. Elliot was going to his anger management classes; Olivia was seeing Dr. Huang two or three times a week. The tension had settled down between Olivia and Elliot, as well as with Elliot and his kids. Olivia and Elliot went out on an occasional date; they had been opening up to each other more. Nick was just her partner.

~ 's Office~

'so Olivia, have you slept with Elliot yet?'

'No, he is scared to touch me. He hugs me sometimes, and we cuddle on the couch once in a while. I'm a little scared too.'

'What are you scared of?'

'That when I have sex with him again, I will have flashbacks from the nightmare.'

'Have you told him about the dream?'

'No.'

'Why not?'

'I've been trying to forget it.'

'You need to tell him Olivia. It may bring you some closer.'

'Ok.'

~that evening at Olivia's apartment~

'What movie do you want to watch Liv?'

'I don't care, um; can we talk for a few minutes?'

'Sure what's up?'

'A few weeks ago, remember when I woke up screaming?'

'Yes.'

'I uh had a nightmare. I want to tell you about it.'

'I'm listening.' He smiled as he put his hand on her legs.

'I dreamed that you were raping me and you wouldn't stop and I was so scared.' Tears flowed down her red cheeks.

'Oh, Livia, I would never ever do that. I'm so sorry that you had that dream. Liv, you know if you said no to sex I wouldn't fight you. You've said no to sex before and I was ok with it. '

'I know, it was such a weird dream. I never thought it would happen. George thought it would be good if I told you about it. Ya know, open up to you.'

'Can I tell you something?'

'Of course.'

'The day I went to my mom's house, I didn't want you coming with me because I knew I would be crying most of the time and I didn't want you thinking that I am weak.'

'Elliot, crying isn't a sign of weakness. I know you're strong. Elliot don't ever be afraid to cry in front of me.' She wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him close to her; she rubbed her face in to his shoulder.

'I think we should skip the movie I'm tired.'

'me too.' They got off the couch Elliot walked towards the guest room, when Olivia grabbed his arm.

'What is it Liv?'

'I think it's time, you come back.' He smiled at her as she led him inside their bedroom. The crawled into bed for the first time in over a month. He wrapped his arm around her waist and cuddled close to her and in that position they fell asleep.

The next morning, Olivia turned around to see Elliot sleeping next to her; she had the biggest smile on her face. She got up and jumped in the shower, as she walked out of the shower she was surprised to see Elliot there.

'Hey El, how'd you sleep?'

'Good, how about you?'

'I woke up next to you, so I slept great.' She walked over, still naked and dripping wet and gave him a kiss. He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer, disregarding the fact that she was naked and wet. A soft moan escaped her mouth. His hands traveled down her back, stopping at her ass, cupping her cheeks. He moved his lips on her neck.

'El, I have a doctor's appointment in 30 minutes.'

'We'll continue this tonight.' He gave her a peck on her lips and let her get ready.

~At the doctor's office~

'Congratulations Olivia, you are pregnant.'

'Are you serious?'

'Yes, come with me, I'll get an ultra sound cart ready.' Olivia followed the doctor to a different room. She laid down on the bed.

'It looks like you are about 13 week's pregnant.'

'Wait, doctor I was here a month ago and nobody told me anything.'

'We didn't take any blood or urine. We just took x-rays of your ribs.'

'Oh, ok.'

'would you like some pictures for the family?'

'Yes that would be great.'

Olivia was so happy; she was finally going to be a mom. She couldn't wait to tell Elliot.

~that night~
Elliot was taking a shower, Olivia was still trying to figure out how she was going to tell him about the baby.
'Fuck it.' She mumbled underneath her breath and stormed into the bathroom. Elliot had just gotten out and was wrapping himself in a towel. She walked over to him grabbed his hands and placed them on her stomach. She looked at him with a smile.

'Oh my god, Liv! Oh, baby that's great!' He picked her up and spun her around in the middle of the bathroom.

' How far along?'

'13 weeks.'

'I'm so happy for you. Is baby Stabler healthy?'

'Yes he/she is.'

'I hope he/she doesn't stop us from finishing what we started this morning.'

'Nope.' He picked her up and brought her into the bedroom and gently placed her on the mattress. They made love for hours, trying to make up for lost time.

He collapsed on the mattress next to her, Olivia's hair was all messed up, the sheets were missing from the bed, and Elliot had drops of sweat on his forehead.

'I've missed making love to my beautiful wife.' He rolled over, pulling her close.

'I've missed making love to my sexy husband.' She smiled and gave him a passionate kiss.
