Chapter 5
They grabbed lunch and headed home to eat it. Amanda looked at the green salad, grilled chicken, and rice. "I thought I would get a burger." Olivia laughed, "She said eat more, but not unhealthy. Eat now!" Amanda was in shock, but Olivia was the voice of reason. "Amanda, do you have his number? You have to tell him." Amanda nodded, "I have it, but I want to know where we stand first."
Olivia sat to listen while Amanda talked. "I know marrying me right now is out of the question because we've only known each other for less time as I've been pregnant, but I'm due in May and I want to be with you." Olivia kept a straight face, "Why?" Amanda spoke like she was sure, "Because you have loved me and helped me more than anyone in my life." Olivia believed her, "Even your dad, he left you all that money." Amanda nodded, "Even him. The money was there, but after he died and his partner contacted me, I realized that he should have fought my mom for me. You fight for me."
Olivia smiled, "I always will Amanda." Amanda shrugged, "See and you asked me why. Look I want to marry someday and I want us to raise these kids whether Nate wants in or out." Amanda put on her big girl panties and called Nate. They agreed to meet at their place. Nate met Olivia, "It's nice to meet you Olivia. So did Amanda tell you how we met?" Olivia nodded, "Yes, we don't have secrets. I'll let you two talk."
Nate was confused, "So what's this about Amanda?" Amanda didn't waste time, "Olivia and I are together." Nate was floored, "Damn! Hey she's beautiful so I can see why. So why call me?" Amanda sighed and explained her stomach bug messed up her pill. Nate covered his face, "You're pregnant?" Amanda nodded, "It's twins Nate." Nate processed it, "Wow! I guess even though you're with Olivia we get to still be friends." Amanda looked up shocked, "You want to be my friend?" Nate shrugged, "Yeah, you have my kids. I would like to be in their lives anyway you let me." They called Olivia out and talked about some decisions. Nate was on board and Amanda and Olivia were happy.
Olivia and Amanda grew closer as Amanda grew with the twins. They were new at this and it wasn't all flowers and roses. Olivia learned Amanda had temper tantrums when she didn't get her way. Olivia thought it was cute and it reminded her that Amanda was younger. Amanda wasn't spoiled, she never had the chance to be. She always took care of herself, so when Olivia took the reins and called the shots, it made Amanda uneasy. They always talked it out and worked through it. They spent their first holidays together with Thanksgiving and Christmas. They started traditions and celebrated birthdays. They also got to know Nate very well. He was a realtor and a good one. He actually found a building that had great amenities and fit them perfectly. They purchased the top floor, which gave them their own private deck, grill, pool, and hot tub. He came over for dinner twice a week and they also spent 1 weekend a month on a family day.
It was a nice spring day and Olivia made the plans for the day. Amanda had been in a mood all week. Olivia didn't know if it was pregnancy or what. Amanda wasn't talking. Nate walked in, "Hey, I'm here! Where's Amanda? What's the plan?" Olivia sighed Amanda is in the room getting ready. She threatened not to come and I threatened her back, so she's coming. She's been pissy all week and we still have one more month."
Nate looked to make sure Amanda wasn't coming, "Liv, I know what's wrong." Olivia was shocked, "She talked to you?" Nate nodded, "She'll kill me if I tell you." Olivia promised, "We don't have secrets. You don't need to tell me, she will eventually." Nate smiled, he never wanted to be in the middle. Amanda came out in a blue dress with pink flowers that Olivia bought for her. Olivia kissed her, "You look pretty." Amanda accepted the kiss, "I look like a whale." Olivia touched her belly, "Never."
They walked out and Amanda saw the deck completely decorated. There were pink and blue streamers. The blue pool had pink flowers floating in it and all of their friends yelled, "Surprise!" Olivia planned a surprise baby shower. The photographer took pictures and did a mini photo shoot. Melinda had a cake, "Time to see what you guys are having." Amanda cut the cake as Nate stood on one side and Olivia stood on the other. She sliced it and they all saw a blue and pink layer. "A boy and a girl!"
They sat together on a patio lounge and Amanda fell in Olivia's arms, "I've been so mean. Why did you do all of this?" Olivia held her, "Because I love you. You haven't been mean, but something is bothering you. You can always talk to me." Amanda didn't want to tell Olivia she bought a ring. She figured Olivia would turn her down. "I'm happy but…" Olivia watched Amanda drop her head. She tilted her chin up, "Tell me and don't ever be afraid." Amanda smiled, "I got something for you. Nate! Help me up!" Nate came over and helped her to her feet. "I'll be right back."
Olivia waited patiently and saw her come back with a baby blue Tiffany box. Olivia saw Amanda's smile was gone and she was nervous. She knew her very well. Amanda looked around and swallowed hard, because all of their friends were staring. Olivia stood up and pressed her forehead to Amanda's, "It's just us." She opened the box, "Will you marry me?" Olivia smiled, "Yes!" Amanda was shocked, "I thought you would say no."
Olivia kissed her, "I have something special for you." Olivia walked over and picked up a gold bag from the table of gifts. Olivia opened the bag and pulled out a small box. "You beat me to it." Olivia opened the box to show her a Tacori engagement ring. "I love you and I want to be with you forever." Amanda had tears streaming down her face. "I am one step ahead of you though. Amanda followed Olivia's pointing finger to see a minister standing on the top deck. "You want to do this today?"
Amanda wiped her eyes, "We don't have any licenses. How?" Olivia laughed, "In your pregnancy brain fog, it's been pretty easy to sneak around. Remember all those signatures you were complaining about and I told you it was just house stuff." Amanda narrowed her eyes at her, "You're lucky I love you." Olivia and Amanda stood in front of their friends who were family and said I do. They had an amazing day and dinner after.
They finished their shower and Olivia was rubbing lotion on Amanda's swollen belly, "Liv, this is better than sex." Olivia laughed, "That's because you can't get any and you know it. We'll see how you feel once these two are out." The doctor told Amanda no more sex. Amanda took the lotion, "Lay back, it's our wedding night and I want to make you feel good."
Amanda squirted some lotion in her hands and rubbed them together until they were warm. She pushed Olivia's shirt up and rubbed her full breasts. She slowly circled her nipples with her thumbs causing Olivia to moan and whimper. "Amanda, I feel bad you can't…" Amanda kissed her lips, "I don't. Relax." Amanda moved her hand down her chest and down her stomach until she reached her panties. Amanda massaged her folds until she was wet. She inserted one finger then two. Amanda laughed, "Don't fight me, just cum." Amanda slid her fingers in and out faster and harder. "Fuck! Amanda oh my gosh." Amanda stayed inside her and kissed her lips. "I love you so much."
A month later Amanda gave birth to two healthy babies, a boy and a girl as planned. Nate and Olivia were by her side the entire time. Olivia held their baby boy named Noah Davis Benson, "He's beautiful!" He had Nate's darker hair, but Amanda's blue eyes. Nate smiled at his little girl, Jesse Alivia Benson, "She's a princess." She had lighter hair and blue eyes.
They all got to go home and Nate stayed with Olivia and Amanda for a week to help. Olivia took a month off to be with them, Amanda had lots of bonding time. They never wanted a big custody deal, they all just wanted to love them. Nate came over after work and would take them every other weekend or if they needed a break and vice versa. "I love our little family."
After 3 months Amanda was ready to return to work. Nate sat at the table feeding the babies, "Guys, they are getting so big so fast." Olivia came in, "The water is ready Nate. He scooped up Noah and Amanda grabbed Jesse. Amanda helped him get them in their tub seats and went to sit with Olivia. "I can't believe I'm going back to work tomorrow." Olivia smiled, "SVU. Are you ready?" Amanda smiled, "I couldn't join you when I first got here, but it's really my place. It's really where I belong." Olivia kissed her, "Just remember I'm in charge at work." Amanda laughed, "Yeah you're always in charge."
THE END-THIS WAS JUST A SHORT STORY I HAD IN MY MIND
Epilogue
"Mommy! Mommy!" Olivia was tackled by two four year olds. Noah swung his long hair out of his eyes like he always saw Olivia do, "We saw you get that award!" Jesse rolled her eyes, she was so much like Amanda, "It wasn't an award. It was a locomotion." Amanda kissed her head, "Promotion smarty pants. And Noah, it is a great award." Noah smiled wide, "Thanks mama." Amanda always tried to help him when Jesse held his feet to the fire. "Hey Nate, haircut this weekend please." He nodded.
The kids were doing great. They were in preschool and had a steady sitter named Lucy Huston. Olivia and Amanda worked together a lot, but they had Nate as well. Noah was sweet and had Olivia's calm demeanor. Jesse was fire and all Amanda. She tested every limit and questioned everything.
Nate hugged her, "Congratulations Liv!" Amanda smiled, "Yeah Lieutenant!" Nate told the kids to grab their bags, "Get your iPads! We aren't coming back!" Jesse frowned, "Daddy, it's only across the hall." Nate shrugged, "Well it's also about responsibility, so go get your stuff." Amanda smiled, "You're good at this dad thing. Tell Lena thanks for taking my babies." Nate smiled. Lena Olson was his fiancé. She was nice and the kids liked her.
Once they were gone Amanda kissed Olivia, "Take a shower, I did." Olivia smiled, "What about dinner?" We'll call for Chinese after." Olivia agreed, "As long as I get two egg rolls." Amanda watched her walk into the bathroom and heard the water. Amanda went into the closet and stripped. She smiled at her new Sergeant's badge she earned two months ago and remembered Olivia's promotion gift. She stepped into the belt of a strap on and waited by the bed. "Babe, I'm really hung…" Amanda bit her lip, "Hung, yeah I am now. Can you handle this Lieutenant?" Amanda stroked the length of the dildo. Olivia laughed and walked over, "Fuck, I'm going to need three egg rolls."
