"We're Having A Baby II"

"Mel, I've got to get you to the hospital right away" Olivia says, as she hops out of bed. "Can you walk? Oh, never mind." Olivia picks Melinda up, who's crying hysterically. Olivia put Melinda in the car and calls their obstetrician, Doctor Jackson. Olivia speeds off to the hospital, running every red light and stop sign in her way. Olivia pulls up to the emergency room door and carries Melinda in the hospital.

"Hey, can you please help us?" Olivia says to the nurse.

"What can I do for you?" the nurse says.

"She's three months pregnant and she started bleeding tonight. Our obstetrician is on her way."

"Follow me" the nurse tells Olivia, who's still carrying Melinda in her arms.

Doctor Jackson arrives a few minutes later and takes over. Melinda has stopped bleeding and they don't know what caused her to bleed out. It's been thirty minutes since the last ultra-sound and found Chorionic hematoma. The baby's heart beat was faint but they still could hear it. All of a sudden, the pain hits Melinda again. She starts crying and Olivia calls Doctor Jackson in the room. Melinda starts to bleeding again, a few seconds later the baby heart beat goes silent.

"Liv" Melinda says crying, "Something's wrong, I can't hear the baby's heart beat."

"Melinda, please, calm down and stay still. I need to examine you. You have to calm down" Doctor Jackson told her.

"Is the baby okay?" a nervous Olivia asks Doctor Jackson.

Olivia holds Melinda's hand as Doctor Jackson does another ultra sound. They all look at the ultra sound machine carefully. The room gets quiet and then…

"No…no…no…no" Melinda says shaking her head and crying. Doctor Jackson turns around and Olivia could tell the news was going to be bad.

"Melinda" Doctor Jackson says, "There' isn't heart beat, I'm sorry."

Melinda starts shaking her head "No, no, this can't be happening" she says.

Olivia can't believe what she just heard. Tears fill her eyes and she fights back the tears. She wants to cry but she knows she has to be strong for Melinda. Olivia gets up out the chair and lie in the hospital bed next to Melinda consoling her, while Melinda sobs in her arms.

Doctor Jackson turns off the ultra sound machine. "Olivia, can I speak to you outside for a second?" Doctor Jackson asked.

"I'll be right back" Olivia tells Melinda. She steps outside the room to speak with Doctor Jackson.

"Olivia, I'm very sorry but there's nothing we can do. I didn't want to say anything in front of Melinda but you two are going to have to make a decision"

"What kind of decision?" Olivia asks the Doctor.

"Melinda miscarried, so I'm assuming she's going to want to have a…"

"I see, go ahead and schedule it for tomorrow. I'll let her know" Olivia says.

"Again, I'm sorry" Doctor Jackson said and left.

Olivia turned around and took a deep breath and exhaled before going back in the room. She walks over to the bed and lies beside Melinda.

"Are you upset with me?" Melinda asks.

"Upset? Why would I be upset with you?" asked Olivia.

"Do you blame me for this?"

"Mel, what happened isn't your fault. I could never blame you, I love you" Olivia says.

"Liv, I wanted this baby so much. I wanted it more than anything in this world."

"I know you did. We both did" says Olivia. "Mel"

"Yes"

"Doctor Jackson called me outside to talk about the baby and alternative measures. I told her to go ahead and schedule the…"

"Liv, don't say it" Melinda says, "just let me know when the appointment is."

Olivia held Melinda tight, she wanted Melinda to know she was there for her. After having the procedure done the next day, the Bensons went home.

For the next several weeks, Olivia helped Melinda through her depression. Melinda had requested three weeks of absence from work to emotionally deal with her miscarriage. Every day Olivia would go to work and come straight home afterwards. Olivia kept her feelings hidden because she didn't want Melinda to see her at her weakest point. She needed to be there for Melinda, the strong one. If they both broken down, who was going to be the one to pull the other through.

Two months had passed and Melinda was back at work and everything seemed as if it was back to normal. Olivia was at the precinct going through some paperwork with Fin and Munch. Elliot was at his desk on the phone when Kathy walks in pushing a stroller with their four month old twins inside it.

"Honey, what are you doing here?" Elliot asked Kathy as she greets him with a kiss.

"I thought we'd go to lunch together, how about it?"

"Okay" Elliot says, "Let me grab my coat."

Munch turns around, "Hi Kathy"

"Hi Munch"

"Cute kids"

"Thanks"

"They're adorable, aren't they Liv?" Munch says.

Olivia turns around and sees the twins and couldn't help but think about the child her and Melinda loss. "Yeah, they are cute" Olivia said, as tears filled her eyes. Olivia runs out the precinct, up to the roof.

"You're such a dick" Fin says to Munch and runs after Olivia.

"What did I do" Munch yells.

Fin goes to the roof to find Olivia in tears. He walks up to Olivia, puts his arms around her and holds her. Olivia breaks down and sobs in Fin's arms. "Baby girl, it's going to be alright" Fin tells her.

"I'm hurting, Fin" Olivia says, as she continued to cry. "It hurts so much."

"I know, baby girl, I know" Fin says as he tries to console her. "I knew this was going to happen."

"What?" Olivia says.

"You breaking down" Fin says. "I didn't know where it was going to happen, but I knew it was coming. Liv, you never cried. You never mourned the loss of your baby. You were so busy taking care of Mel, you forgot about yourself."

"Fin, I had to be the strong one. Mel was a mess and I had to be there for her."

"What about you? While you were there caring for her, you were dying on the inside."

"Yeah, I was" Olivia says."

"Talk to her, tell her how you feel. I'm sure Mel would listen."

"Yeah, you're right" Olivia says.

"C'mon lets go grab a bite to eat" Fin says. They left the roof and went to lunch. The rest of the day went by slow and when 6pm came Olivia grabbed her jacket, "see you guys tomorrow" she says to Munch, Fin and Elliot.

Olivia arrives home thirty minutes later. Melinda had ordered food from the Italian restaurant up the street. They eat dinner and Olivia washed the dishes afterwards. Olivia goes into the bathroom to shower and thirty minutes passes by, she's still in the shower. Melinda goes into the bathroom to find Olivia crying, sitting in the tub with the shower running on her.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Melinda says.

"I'm hurting Mel, I wanted that baby as much as you did. I know, I wasn't the one who was carrying the baby, but I loved it, I really did."

"I know you did" Melinda says, and then she turns off the water and helps Olivia out the tub. She reaches for the towel and dries Olivia off. "It's going to be okay baby" she says to Olivia while escorting her to the bed. They lay in bed and talked while she held Olivia in her arms. Olivia was finally able to tell Melinda how she felt about losing the baby.

The next morning Melinda wakes up before the crack of dawn. She cooks breakfast and serves Olivia breakfast in bed. "Wow, breakfast in bed" Olivia says, "okay, what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything" Melinda says smiling. "Can I serve my wife breakfast in bed for once?"

"Okay" Olivia says.

Olivia ate breakfast and Melinda drink hot chocolate.

"Liv"

"Yeah"

"Can we try again?" Melinda says.

"Try what again?"

"You know…a baby…can we try having another baby?" Melinda asked.

Olivia placed the food on the nightstand. "Are you sure about this?" she asks Melinda.

"Yeah, I'm sure but only if you want too"

"Yeah, I'd love to try again. When do you want to?" Olivia says.

"As soon as possible" Melinda replied.

Three months had passed before Melinda was able to become pregnant again. The two ladies were delighted and due to the fist miscarriage, they decided not to tell anyone. Several months had passed by and family and friends had become suspicious because Melinda started gaining weight and her clothes no longer hit her. Melinda and Olivia finally told her parents she was four months pregnant. Marilyn was a little disappointed in them keeping it a secret but she understood why.

Olivia was at work and decided to tell her co-workers. "Hey Fin, there's something I gotta tell you."

"What's up, Liv?" Fin says.

"Mel and I decided to have another baby, she's four months pregnant" Olivia tells him.

"That's it, I already knew that" Fin says.

"How did you know?"

"I know women"

"Huh" Olivia said.

"Well for starters, Melinda has been gaining weight, she threw up on two different occasions, she's wearing bigger clothing."

"That doesn't mean anything" Olivia said.

"Well what about you walking around here like you're on cloud nine? Liv, I'm happy for you" Fin said and gave Olivia a hug. "You could have told me sooner, you know."

"We wanted to keep it a secret for a while" Olivia says.

"Hey everyone, I'm going to be a Godfather" Fin yells throughout the precinct.

Elliot gets up from his desk, "So, you guys trying again?" he asked Olivia.

"Trying again, hah" Fin says, "they're four months pregnant."

"Hey, congrats" Elliot said as he hugged Olivia.

A few weeks had passed, Melinda was six months pregnant. They decided the apartment was too small and the bought a four bedroom home. Fin had come over and helped Olivia paint the baby's room; he even purchased a crib for the baby boy. Everything seemed to go as planned.

They were invited over to Melinda's parents' home for a family dinner. After dinner everyone went into the living room.

"So, have you guys come up with a name for my nephew?" Gabbie says.

"Yes, we have" says Olivia.

"Okay, what is it?"

"We're going to name him Augustus" Olivia says.

"Augustus" Ursula echoed, "I don't like that name."

"I love it" Olivia says.

"I bet you came up with that one" Ursula replied.

"No Ursula, I came up with the name Augustus" Melinda said.

"Well, I still don't like it."

"It's not for you to like" Marilyn tells Ursula, "Now could you please go in the kitchen and bring the wine out. Make sure you bring Melinda a glass of milk. You are going to breast feed him, aren't you?" Melinda's mom asked her.

"Yes mom, I'm going to breast feed."

Ursula bought the wine out from the kitchen with glasses for everyone. Gabbie hands Melinda her glass of milk and they began conversing with one another.

"Honey, you want another glass of milk?" Olivia asked Melinda.

"No, I have to use the bathroom" Melinda says as she gets up and goes to the bathroom. Olivia notices Melinda has been in the bathroom for a while. Olivia gets up to check on her.

"Mel, you're okay in there?" Olivia asks as she taps on the door.

"Liv" Melinda cried out, "Liv, help me."

Olivia opens the door and sees Melinda bold up on the floor. Olivia heart starts pounding fast as she runs to Melinda's side. "Baby, what happened?"

"I don't know. I had a sharp pain like before." Melinda says crying. The pain hits her again, "Ouch…Liv, it hurts."

"Are you in labor?" Olivia asked.

"No, these aren't labor pains. Liv, I don't want to lose this baby too" Melinda says as she begins to cry.

"Calm down Mel, you're not going to lose the baby" Olivia says.

"Promise me" Melinda says.

"I promise you won't lose the baby" Olivia says trying to calm Melinda down. "Now, lets get you to the hospital."

"Ouch" Melinda cried out again as the pain ripped through her body. "Liv, it hurts…ouch" Melinda cried.

Just as Olivia was about to pick Melinda up to carry her to the car, she sees blood running down Melinda's pants. "Oh God…please God…don't do this to us again" Olivia says. She picks Melinda up, puts her in the car and speeds off to the hospital.
