Chapter 2

"Hey Liv, I hope I was not interrupting you or anything like that". "No that's fine I was just reading a book".

Olivia walks over to the couch and picks up the book.

"Just let me put away my book and I am all yours". Olivia walks back into the living room. "So, Liv what were you reading there"? "Oh just a romance novel". "Did you come here to ask me what my choices in books are or do you want to talk".

"Sorry, yah I want to talk". "So how are the kids, you must be upset that you can not see them every day". "It is hard but, the hurt gets better day by day, but at least I get to see them".

"You want something to drink, El"? Yah sure, just some water". Olivia walks in to the kitchen and takes two bottles of water out of the fridge.

Olivia goes back into the living room and hands Elliot his water. "So El, what did you want to talk to me about"?

You just have been acting differently lately and I am just worried about you". "You are not sick are you Liv"? "No what makes you think that I am sick". "You have ran to the bathroom twice this week."

"I just think that I have the stomach flu or something".

"Liv, I know you do not have the stomach flu because this has been going on for three months already". "You may have thought that I have not paid any attention to you recreantly, but that does not mean I am not worried and not thinking of you". "I know that the divorce was not only hard on me but also you Liv, you are my partner and my best friend and we tell everything to each other, not only because we trust each other but also we know how each other feel, and the feelings we get that come with our job". "Through being partners in the last six years we have become best friends I can read you like an open book Liv, and remember I am also a cop and I can not only tell when our suspects are lying, but also when my best friend is lying too".

By now Olivia is really crying hard and Elliot motions her over and he raps is arms around her. Olivia puts her head on his chest and lets her tears fall on to his shirt. She always loves his cologne but, with the morning sickness even her favourite smells make her sick. She jumps out of his arms and rushes to the bathroom, with Elliot on her heels.

Elliot enters the bathroom as so as she starts to through up and he pulls her hair back and rubs her back and soothing her. After she is finished she sit back in Elliot's lap and he hands her a glass of water and her wipes her forehead with a damp towel.

"Olivia how are you feeling now"? "I bit better". "Thanks you for the hair holding and everything". "My pleasure Liv it was no problem". "So are you going to tell me what is wrong". Olivia sakes her head silently, no".

"Liv I did not want to do this but you need me now more then ever, Liv I saw the book, but I had a feeling for awhile now I did go through it three times before". I did not want to say anything before because I wanted you to come and tell me when you were ready, and I knew you would tell me when you were ready, but it has been three months already Liv and you need someone there for you". I will go with you to your doctor's appointments, to lamaz classes because you will always need a couch and if you want to I will even be in the deliver room with you".

"Liv, you are my best friend and I love you vary much and I do not want anything bad to happen to you". "You know what, yes I was upset when Kathy and I divorced but not because I really loved her still, I was upset that I had wasted twenty years of my life with someone that I did love at one point in time, but I have not been in love with her for a vary long time and you joining the squad six years ago just made me realize it.

"Liv I fell in love with you the moment I laid my eyes on you".

By this time Olivia was crying just has hard as before but the only difference was this time she had a smile on her face.

"El, I have been waiting forever to here you say that, I love you so much to". Elliot bends his head down and gives her a small but yet passionate kiss on the lips.

"Liv, know do you want to explain what is going on". "I think it is time to tell your boyfriend who loves you dearly what is going on in your life". At that said both of them start to laugh and Olivia nodes her head yes.
