Chapter 2

Olivia slowly gets out of bed, grabbing a robe she put it on, covering her nude body before exiting the bedroom. Walking into the living room, Olivia could see Rebecca standing in the kitchen over the stove, dressed in a navy blue STARS Bravo Team t-shirt and a pair of matching underwear, Olivia smiled at the sight before her.

"Good morning, Liv, did you sleep well?"

The older brunette walked over to Rebecca and hugged her tenderly from behind before placing a light kiss on the nape of Rebecca's neck.

"I slept marvelously, Rebecca." Olivia whispers, causing Rebecca to blush.

"I hope you're hungry, Olivia."

"When have I ever turned down anything you've cooked?" Liv said quickly.

"That is true." Rebecca says with a hearty laugh.

While Rebecca had majored in Biochemistry in college, she had minored in Culinary Arts and Olivia was her ever-willing taste tester as well as her best friend and roommate.

"What have you made for us this morning?"

"Eggs, bacon, waffles, toast, and fruit." Rebecca replied.

The women made small talk over their breakfast.

"You're a Mom now, Liv?" Rebecca says excitedly as she looks at the picture of Noah and Olivia fondly.

"Yes, I adopted Noah last year, Rebecca and I have to tell you I love every second of it." Olivia says proudly.

"You're an amazing woman, Olivia Benson." Rebecca says before placing her right hand on Liv's left leg. Rebecca swooned before leaning over and placing a gentle, but passionate kiss on Olivia's petal soft lips.

"I need to go call my sitter, Rebecca."

"OK, I'm gonna go hop in the shower."

"Aw, I wanted to shower with you." Olivia mocked whined, Rebecca gently cupped the older woman's face in her hands before pulling her into a passionate kiss.

"I can wait for you, if you like, Liv."

"Yes please." Liv replied before giving Rebecca a steamy kiss of her own.

"Hello?" Olivia said.

"Ms. Benson, it's Lucy, I'm calling to let you know that Noah has the flu, I took him to the park and a little girl who was infected was there with her Mom and she gave her flu to Noah." Lucy said worriedly.

"It's OK Lucy, I'll be home as soon as I can, are you giving Noah any medicine?" Liv asks.

"Yes Ma'am, every half hour or so, Ms. Benson."

Olivia ended her call with Lucy as a troubled look came over her.

"Liv, are you OK?" Rebecca asked.

"That was Lucy, Noah's babysitter. He has a fever." Liv said sadly.

Rebecca smiled understandingly, she knew that Olivia was struggling internally about what to do.

"Liv, it's fine, go to Noah, we can always catch up later."

"Why don't you come home with me so you can meet Noah?" Liv said.

"OK Liv, let's go check out of the hotel first." Rebecca said, Olivia smiled and nods.

After paying for their meals, Olivia and Rebecca head back to the hotel and pack before checking out.

It took forty-five minutes for Rebecca and Olivia to reach Manhattan (With Rebecca driving like Jason Statham in The Transporter movies) As much as Liv tried to hide her fear, she was genuinely afraid.

Soon enough, the pair pulled up to Olivia's apartment building and hurried inside. They take the elevator up to the 7th floor where Olivia's apartment is, Oliva unlocks her front door and goes inside with Rebecca right on her heels.

Olivia finds Noah lying on the couch covered up with his favorite Thomas The Tank Engine blanket and Lucy sitting on the floor next to him reading a story of the same name.

"Lucy." Olivia says gently, not wanting to startle her Nanny.

"Oh Ms. Benson, I just gave Noah some more medicine but I haven't checked to see if his fever has dropped any yet."

"Thank you Lucy, you can go home now, we can handle things from here." Liv says.

Lucy nods before handing Olivia the book and going to grab her purse from the Guest Room, upon her return Lucy greeted Rebecca and then she was gone.

"Liv, I'll make us some coffee." Rebecca says before heading into the kitchen.

"Ok, thanks Rebecca." replied Olivia.

It was at that moment that Noah opened his dreary little eyes, he smiled weakly when he saw his Mommy.

"Mommy." the toddler said in a near whisper.

"Shh, Mommy's here sweetheart. Just try and rest." Olivia said in a motherly tone as she gently placed a hand on her Son's forehead.

Olivia went into her bedroom and got the thermometer, she came back just as Rebecca was coming out of the kitchen with the two cups of coffee.

Olivia then checked Noah's temperature, the thermometer read 102 as Noah's temperature.

"Oh my poor little guy, I'll-." Olivia started to say, but Rebecca walked up to the brunette and cut her off.

"I'll run to the store and pick up some ingredients to make some chicken soup." the Medic gently whispers into Olivia's left ear.

"O-OK, Rebecca." Olivia replies as her knees threaten to fail her, but thankfully they hold and keep the brunette upright.

As Rebecca heads out the door, she turns back to Olivia.

"Don't miss me too much." she says before giving the other brunette a flirty wink, then Rebecca disappeared out the door.

Olivia could only smile and shake her head.

Rebecca returns to Olivia's apartment with her bounty, she knocks on the door and was granted entry by the brunette.

"Welcome back." Liv says gently as she holds Noah."

"Any changes in temperature since I was gone?" the younger woman asked, genuinely concerned for Noah.

"His fever is starting to drop after I gave him some more medicine." Olivia said.

"Well I'm going to make my family's chicken soup recipe for Noah, it'll have the little guy back on his feet in no time." Rebecca says with a smile before going into the kitchen, Olivia's heart fluttered. Rebecca was back in her life again, and she is here in Olivia's apartment about to make chicken soup for Noah, who Rebecca doesn't even know, but Liv is determined to change that.

Four hours later, Rebecca is finally finished with the soup, she brings a bowl out to Olivia, who is sitting on the couch with Noah.

"Here you go, Liv. It will make Noah feel all better." Rebecca says with a heartfelt smile.

Noah then looked up at Rebecca, his brown eyes seemed to pierce the Cop's soul (Just like Olivia's do)

"Hey there little man, my name is Rebecca and I am really good friend of your Mommy's." Rebecca says in a gentle tone that surprised her.

"Becca." Noah said in a near whisper. Both Olivia and Rebecca stared at Noah and then at one another in shock at what they had just heard.

After Olivia finished feeding Noah, she gave him his bath and put him to bed. Olivia turned on the monitor in Noah's room before exiting and joining Rebecca in the living room.

"He's sound asleep." Olivia says as she takes a seat beside Rebecca.

Rebecca keeps her silence, she just smiled at Olivia. Rebecca was still in awe at Olivia's uncanny ability to connect with children.

"What?" Olivia asked, looking at Rebecca, who is still staring at the brunette smiling.

"You're an amazing woman, Olivia Benson." Rebecca says before placing her right hand on Liv's left leg. Rebecca swooned before leaning over and placing a gentle, but passionate kiss on Olivia's petal soft lips.

After Rebecca pulled back from the kiss, she ran her hand through her short, dark locks.

"Well Liv, I know that you must have a lot of questions for me, I'll tell you whatever you want to know." Rebecca says.

"Where have you been for the past five years, Rebecca? I..."

"After I left College, I left here and moved to my family's estate in Miami, but being there made me realize two things

First, that I am not cut out to live in the same house as Janet Gwendolyn Chambers." Rebecca says, cringing at the thought of going to those stuffy country clubs with her parents. Rebecca then came back to the present.

"And my second reason is that I... Don't want to live my life without you in it Liv, you are my soulmate. I had to come back to you, I know that I was wrong for sleeping with you right off the bat without telling you all of this first and now you're a Mother, but please understand I wasn't in a good place back then, that's why I stayed away, not because I didn't love you anymore." Rebecca said, dropping her gaze.

"Beccy, I won't sit here and lie and say not having you here, whether it be in the squad room cracking us up, or right beside me meant or means nothing to me, then you'd be wrong. Rebecca Chambers, next to Noah, you are the most precious person in the world to me, and if you want to Beccy, you, me, and Noah can be a happy family together."

"You would allow me to become part of your family, Liv?" Rebecca inquired.

"Yes Beccy, but only if this is what you want." Olivia says.

"Liv, I do want to be apart of you and Noah's lives, I just... need to sort some other things out first, OK?" Rebecca says, suddenly afraid that Olivia would assume that she was now trying to back out.

"It's all right Rebecca, we've waited this long to be together so I'm not worried at all." Olivia says reassuringly.

"Thank you, Liv. That takes a load off my mind." Rebecca admits before looking at her watch.

"Oh wow, I've got to go meet my Brother and Sister to get the stuff for the Chambers family cookout we're having this Saturday. You and Noah should come as my guests, Liv." Rebecca says.
