3 months later

Elliot and Olivia hadn't had as much success with keeping their secret as they'd originally thought. Three months after they admitted their feelings to each other the list of those who knew had escaladed. Alex had been the first to figure it out, considering Olivia was her best friend, it didn't take long for her to find out that she was seeing someone, and that the lucky man was Elliot.

That had been a week after their first night together.

The second to figure it out was Munch. He'd kept fishing for the reason Olivia was smiling so much, and then when Elliot started with the same smiles he put two and two together. 'Connecting A to B to C' as he had said it. That was only 3 days after Alex figured it out.

The next two to figure it out were Maureen and Kathleen. They figured it out at the same time, when, on accident, they found Olivia asleep in their fathers bed, their father asleep as well, his arm draped protectively around her. That was 2 weeks after Munch figured it out.

Then, the last to figure it out was Fin. Apparently, Munch had let it slip one night after having to much to drink. Elliot and Olivia didn't mind that he let their secret out, truthfully they had been thinking about tell Fin themselves. They felt bad that he was the only one (besides the Captain, who they made everybody swear not to tell) who hadn't figured it out yet. Well, those who they worked with closely, that is.

The twins didn't know yet. They were still young, and Lizzie's mouth was much bigger than Kath's and Maureen's combined. Dickey probably wouldn't tell their mother, but, he surely would tell his sister. It seemed that whatever Dickey knew, Lizzie knew. Maybe it had something to do with a "twin bond", or, maybe Lizzie just knew how to get secrets out of him, either way, what Dickey knew, Lizzie knew. They weren't taking any chances.

So, their little secret turned out to be a well-known (but, well-kept) one. It was a lot easier on both of them having those who knew about it in the know. Munch didn't probe into Olivia's life because of the smiling thing anymore, and neither did Alex. It was also a lot easier having Kathleen knowing, that way Olivia wouldn't have to sneak over. Actually, Olivia now had her own side of the closet, because she stayed at his apartment so much.

It was nearing their 3 month anniversary, and Elliot was trying to pick out the perfect gift for her. Since Maureen was on vacation she and Kathleen were helping. They, at the moment, were at Freedmen's jewelers.

"So," Elliot said, exhausted after looking for over 4 hours. "I still say I like the past-present-future necklace. You think she'd like it?"

Maureen smiled, "I still think she won't care about the gift, rather desert."

Elliot's cheeks flushed, "Maureen!"

"What? All three of us know it's gone that far."

He rolled his eyes, "Regardless of that fact. I still think she'd like the necklace."

"I do, too" Maureen agreed. "You know, daddy. My birthday's next month. I wouldn't mind one of these expensive necklaces."

"I think I've already bought your gift, so, you can rethink that."

She smiled, "Really? What'd you get me?"

He shook his head, "Neit."

"Neit?"

"No."

"No, what?"

"No, I'm not telling you."

"Neit?" Kathleen asked.

"Non."

A look of realization washed over Maureen's face, "Ah."

"Non?" Kathleen mused.

"French."

"French for…what?"

"Non, Kath. What does that sound like to you?" Maureen raised an eyebrow.

"No?" Kathleen guessed.

"Right."

"What's neit?"

"No."

"In?"

"Russian."

"Dad knows Russian?"

"Obviously."

She furrowed her brow, "Alright, then."

"Guys, the necklace. Yes or no?"

"Yes." They said simultaneously.

He called one of the salesmen over to where the trio were standing.

"Have you found something your wife would like?" He asked Elliot.

"Oh, no. No, I'm not married." Elliot answered quickly. 'Though I wouldn't mind if I was, again.' He thought.

"I'm sorry, guess I shouldn't have assumed. It's just with the young ladies with you."

"Connecting A to B to C." He muttered, recalling what Munch had said the day he figured Elliot and Olivia out.

"Excuse me?" The salesman, Phillip, questioned.

"Oh, nothing." Elliot replied. "I'm wanting the past-present-future necklace."

"A girlfriend, then?"

Elliot nodded.

The man went to get a box for the necklace and Elliot took the moment to look at the engagement rings in the case he was standing next to.

"Daddy," Kathleen called, "Don't look now, but, we've got company."

Elliot looked around, and frowned. Of course she'd have to be there.

"Oh, Steve, look, the girls are here." Kathy called, as she and Steven walked through the door of the jewelry store. "Why are you girls here?"

"Maureen's birthday." Kathleen answered quickly.

The man came back to where Elliot was standing. "Here you are, sir. I hope that your--"

Elliot shook his head quickly. "My daughter loves the necklace." He said, hoping the man would get the picture.

"Right. I'm sorry."

Elliot mouthed thank-you and paid the man. Before he left he found the man again, making sure Kathy wasn't in ear-shot.

"Ex-wife." He said to the man, "She can't know about my girlfriend, it'd cause a lot of problems with work, and she'd do anything to piss me off."

The man smiled and gave him a nod. "I understand."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Elliot turned to leave, glaring at Kathy and Steven as he walked out, he would've said something to them, but, the last thing he wanted to do was argue. He had more important things on his list, tomorrow was Olivia and his anniversary, and he had to make sure everything was perfect.
The next night:

Olivia fidgeted in her seat. All of this did not go unknown to Elliot. She knew that he could sense her unease, but, unlike her, he didn't know why she was so nervous.

Boy, did she have an unexpected surprise for him.

"Liv," she didn't look up, she knew what he was going to say, "Liv, what's wrong?"

She sighed, and got up from her seat at the table. She walked over to the couch, sat down, and held her head in her hands. Elliot followed.

"Olivia?" He sat next to her, draping an arm around her shoulders. "Babe, what is it? Is there something wrong? Do you not like the dinner, or the necklace?"

She laughed nervously, "No, no. Of course not. I love the dinner, Elliot. And the necklace was perfect."

"Then what is it? Are you upset because you didn't get me anything?"

She shook her head, chuckling. "I never said I didn't get you anything, I just said it wasn't of material value, and I wasn't sure how you'd react to it."

He pulled her closer to him, "Then, what's got you so bothered."

"Not bothered, per se. More, unsure."

"Liv, just tell me."

She lifted her head from her hands, and Elliot could see that she had tears clouding the big brown eyes he loved so much. "Elliot. I'm late."

"Late? Late for what?"

"Elliot." She repeated, the tone of her voice serious.

"Oh. How late?"

"3 weeks."

"Oh."

"Yeah, oh is right."

"Well, have you taken a test?"

She nodded, "Three."

"And?"

"They all came back positive. Elliot, we're pregnant."
a/n: dun dun dun! Ok, this story is probably just about over, because I'm going on vacation next month, and I'll be gone for a whole month. And, where I'm staying has no internet, so updating is out of the question, and I hate it when it takes people forever to update, so I'm not going to do that to you guys! So, I'll just work really hard, and get the chapters out super fast. Ok? I think 2 more chapters is all that I've got left. And, forewarning, they'll be fluffy. Because, fluffy is better! Lol. Anyway. Review please, tell me what you think about my little cliffhanger.

and, sorry if neit isn't the translation for "no" i'm kinda sure it is, but i'm not positive. I know non is no in French, though.
