Chapter 25
Rolling over in bed, Olivia promptly planted a kiss on the still sleeping Nicole's neck. She stretched several times prior to getting up. Going into the bathroom, she brushed her teeth before entering the shower.
Twenty minutes later Olivia climbed into her Explorer and drove into the city for her final wedding dress fitting.
Casey met her there with Alex to pick up their bridesmaid gowns and the trio had lunch with Serena at a nearby café when she joined them a few hours later.
After grocery shopping, Olivia arrived home to an empty house. She found the note from Nicole on the kitchen bench and read it while putting away items.
My darling,
Thank you for the sleep in.
Got a call from the jewellers &
am picking up our wedding bands.
Won't be long.
Love & kisses,
Nicole xxxx
Olivia checked the time, it was 14:20 and the couple were due at the doctor's office at 15:00. Reaching for her phone, she called Nicole to remind her.
"Hi honey and yes I know I'm running late," answered the blonde are two rings.
"Hello and yes you are. Do you want to meet me there?"
"Okay, I'm just about done here. I love you and will see you soon."
"Love you too, bye." Closing her phone, Olivia quickly put away the last of the groceries then retrieved a urine sample from the refrigerator.

A somewhat anxious Olivia was tapping her foot while she sat and waited for Nicole to arrive. A nurse appeared in the waiting room and called her name. Glancing at her wristwatch, she stood and followed her down the corridor.
"My partner is on her way," explained Olivia as she entered the examination room.
"That's not a problem; I'll bring her through when she gets here."
"Thank you."
"In the meantime, I'll get you to undress and put on the robe that's on the table." She reached for the paper bag Olivia was holding and added, "And I'll take that."
"Okay," replied the tense brunette.
The nurse left the room and Olivia quickly exchanged her clothing for the gown. She sat on the edge of the table and was swinging her legs back and forth when Nicole opened the door moments later.
"Sorry honey, I got caught in traffic."
In reply, Olivia held out her hands, "You're here now and that's all that matters sweetie."
Moving in closer, Nicole pressed her lips to Olivia's in a slow burning kiss. When they separated, Nicole asked, "Are you nervous?"
"Extremely," answered Olivia honestly.
"You'll be fine honey. It's just a little uncomfortable but nothing you can't handle," responded Nicole while cradling her lover's face.
"I know, you told me all that on Friday when it was you being poked and prodded."
Nicole laughed softly and looked to the door when it opened to reveal brown haired Doctor Selena Franks and the nurse.
"Hello Nicole and Olivia," said the fifty year old pleasantly.
"Hello," replied the couple in unison.
"You ready Olivia?"
"I'm good Doctor."
"All right, I'll get you to lie down and place your feet in the stirrups."
Olivia did as directed and Nicole held her hand firmly.
"Okay," continued Doctor Franks. "You'll experience some coldness from the lubricant I'll be applying than slight pressure from the speculum. After that you may have a little discomfort as I harvest a sample of ovum."
"I'm ready."
Nicole leaned over and kissed Olivia then whispered, "I love you."
Squeezing her hand, Olivia smiled up at Nicole, "I love you."
"How long before we know anything Doctor?" enquired Nicole before kissing Olivia again.
"If today's procedure is successful, I will call and have you return Saturday morning."
Nicole chuckled at the information, "Now that would be the best wedding gift anyone could hope for."
Olivia's eyes filled with tears, "It certainly would be."
Selena looked up and smiled at the couple, "Hopefully you will have a wedding day fertilised egg. Right Olivia, you're done. Do either of you have any questions?"
"Not from me," replied Olivia with a sigh.
"No," answered Nicole. "I think you covered it all last appointment."
"In that case we'll leave you to get dressed and hopefully see you on Saturday."
"Thank you Doctor," said Nicole while helping Olivia to sit.
Once they were left alone, Olivia got up and dressed.
"You are so beautiful Liv," remarked Nicole while gawking at her girlfriend.
With a tilt of her head, Olivia smirked back at her, "I hope you'll still say that when I'm pregnant."
Giggling, Nicole took Olivia's hand, "Of course I will; there'll just be more of you to love."
"Good and we don't tell anybody about this until we are certain we're having a baby."
"Ahh okay honey," agreed a reluctant Nicole.
Placing hands on hips, Olivia leered at her, "You've told someone?"
"No, I'm just teasing you."
"Well seems you are in such a playful mood, you can take me home and tease me for real."
"That would be my plan in a nutshell."

"I have to say this is the best start to any vacation I've ever had," commented Olivia as she turned off the stove.
Handing a bowl to her, Nicole said, "I agree, so what would you like to do tomorrow?"
"We've got that appointment with the caterer for final menu selection."
"Oh I forgot," admitted Nicole while placing a steaming dish of soup onto the dining table.
Carrying her meal to the table, Olivia sat down, "I did too until your mother called to remind us."
"Poor woman is beside herself with excitement."
"So is your dad. El called too. Cragen has settled right back into the swing of things and even tagged along with him for the day."
"I'm glad to hear that honey and before I forget, we have dinner with Serena and Casey Friday."
Olivia chuckled at the information, "You know that means a party with everyone."
"I do, but don't let on and look surprised when we arrive."
"I will," replied Olivia before laughing again.
The wall phone rang and Nicole got up to answer it, "Hello Nicole speaking."
"Hello Nicole, Doctor Franks here."
"Oh hi Doctor," she motioned to Olivia.
Olivia came over to her and slipped an arm around her waist as Nicole put the phone on speaker.
"I know you have a very busy day Saturday, but do you think you and Olivia could come into the clinic to see me?"
Olivia looked at a slack jawed Nicole, "Does this mean the egg you harvested from Nicole took?"
"It certainly does and I'll see you both at eight thirty."
"We'll be there," replied Olivia before hanging up.
Overcome with emotion, Nicole pivoted and grabbed Olivia. Tears cascaded down both their faces and without speaking, she kissed her fiancée hungrily.
Forty minutes later, a naked and dishevelled haired Nicole helped Olivia up off the floor and the brunette exclaimed, "Good grief baby that was one hell of a wild ride."
Laughing, Nicole picked up the discarded clothes, "I was overcome with excitement honey."
"You certainly were," replied Olivia while pulling on her tee shirt and briefs.
Reaching out, Nicole hugged her tightly, "We are going to make our baby in two days time."
The implication of the words smashed into Olivia and she started to cry again, "Yes we are and I couldn't be happier."
Brushing away her lover's tears, Nicole declared, "You are going to be one kick ass mother."
"And you will be a yummy mummy," taunted Olivia while running her hands through the back of Nicole's hair.
"Oh god I love you so much," murmured Nicole before pulling off Olivia's shirt again.
"I can clearly see that baby," pointed out Olivia before being kissed thoroughly.
The couple ended up on the dining table, precariously lying amongst the lunch meal crockery then eventually made it to the bedroom.
