Olivia sat at her desk doing paperwork. She still wasn't feeling one-hundred percent considering just getting over what she figured was just the flu. She rubbed at her aching forehead which, much to her displeasure, did nothing to alleviate the pain. She opened her desk drawer and pulled out a bottle of aspirin, taking two and popping them into her mouth. After washing them down with her now cold coffee, she stood and made her way to the restroom. As soon as she entered, she was greeted with a horrible retching sound.

"Hello?" She called out.

All that was returned was a grunt from the occupant. She walked closer to the noise and came upon the source of the grunt.

"Amanda?" She asked, her voice laced with concern.

'Great...she found me.'

Amanda Rollins sat back and leaned against the bathroom stall, pale and weak. Olivia turned around and grabbed a paper towel, wetting it. She turned back to the blonde detective and crouched in front of her.

"Here" She said, offering the paper towel to the younger woman.

"Thanks." Amanda said as she graciously accepted the wet towel and wiped her mouth.

"What's going on Amanda? This is the third time this week you ended up in the bathroom sick." The sergeant asked.

"It's just the flu. I'm fine." The blonde answered.

"Don't give me that bull shit Amanda. I'm a detective, remember?" Olivia replied.

'I have to tell her.'

Amanda sighed before speaking. "You have to swear not to tell anybody. At least not yet."

"It will be between us girls." Olivia said.

"I'm pregnant." Amanda blurted out.

Olivia stared at her, shocked.

'At least she's not yelling.'

"Pregnant?" She asked.

Amanda replied with a nod.

"How far along?" The brunette asked.

"Ten weeks." Amanda answered.

"And the father?"

"He doesn't know yet." The blonde said, looking away.

"Why not?" Olivia asked.

"It's a long story." Amanda said.

"I've got time." The older woman answered.

The door opened and a female officer entered. Amanda looked at her sergeant. Olivia gave a knowing nod.

"Let's head to my office." She said, standing up and offering her hands to the weak detective.

Amanda grabbed the other woman's hands and pulled herself up. The two left the bathroom and went to Olivia's office. Olivia shut the door while Amanda sat down.

"I want to know everything okay?" Olivia said as she sat across from the blonde.

"Nick is the father." Amanda started.

'Good going Rollins. Great way to start off.'

"Nick as in Nick Amaro?" Olivia asked.

"Yeah" Amanda replied.

"How long has that been going on?" The brunette asked.

Amanda looked away.

"How long Rollins"

"A year and a half." Amanda whispered so quietly Olivia almost missed it.

"A year and a half?! Why the hell didn't you tell me?!" Olivia said angrily.

'There's the yelling...'

"We knew it would affect our careers! We kept it out of work so we figured we were okay." Amanda said, tearing up.

"Well this" she gestured to Amanda's stomach "is not a good way of keeping it out of work."

"This" Amanda copied the gestured "is completely unexpected." She let the tears fall.

"Oh gosh. Manda." Olivia said as she pulled the younger woman into a hug.

"I just- I don't know how to tell him." Amanda cried into Olivia's shoulder.

'Damn hormones'

"I'll help you figure it out okay?" Olivia reassured her.

"Okay."

Meloni's Bar:

Nick Amaro sat at the bar, waiting. He looked at his watch.

"He was supposed to be here ten minutes ago." He thought.

He heard the door open and he looked over to see the man he was waiting for walk in. The man walked over and sat next to Nick. It was an awkward silence for a few minutes.

"Just to let you know, you were the last person I thought was calling me." The man said causing Nick to chuckle.

'Sounds about right'

"I'm sure. We didn't exactly start off on a good note." Nick confessed.

"We didn't but we're good now." The man said, giving Nick a pat on the shoulder.

"Yeah." Nick said.

"So. You said you needed my help. What's up?" The man asked.

'Here goes nothing'

"Yeah...I want to propose to my girlfriend, but I don't know how." Nick said, embarrassed.

"And you're asking me?" The man asked, his eyebrows raised.

"You're the only guy friend that has proposed to a girl before." The Latino answered.

'Wow did that sound pathetic'

"I guess I can help. What were you thinking?"

Precinct:

"So we have a plan?" Olivia asked the blonde.

"Yep. Thanks for being here for me." Amanda said shyly.

"Hey. I'm always here for you. If you ever need to talk, my door is always open." Olivia said with a smile.

"Thanks."

"No problem. I know you're not going to like this, but I'm sending you home for the rest of the day. You need to rest." Olivia said.

'Can someone say sympathy? '

"I'm fine Olivia." Amanda argued.

"I don't want to hear it. Go home before I arrest you for resisting an officer." Olivia said.

"That's not even a real c-"

"Go." Olivia cut her off with a smile.

Amanda smiled before turning and walking out of the office.

Meloni's Bar:

"Thanks for the help man." Amaro said as he put his coat on.

"That's what friends are for." The man said as he headed toward the door.

"Hey Stabler!" Nick yelled after him.

Elliot turned around to look at him.

"I forgot to threaten you not to hurt Liv." Nick said.

Elliot chuckled.

"I don't plan on it." He said.

"Good because if you do, you will regret you ever met me." Nick said seriously.

"Yes sir." Elliot said before walking out.

Nick took out his phone and sent a text before leaving the bar, much more confident than when he entered.
