" You're what?!" Bryan asks louder than intended

"Keep your voice down." she puts back at him as they are getting eyed by a few patrons.

"Sorry. Did you just say you're...you're.." he says a little quieter.

"Pregnant. You can say it, its not a disease." she rolls her eyes and pulls her coat a little tighter around her.

"I'm just...just trying to wrap my head around this Liv."

"I know, it was just a home test though. I'm scheduling a doctors appointment...but I already know what they're gonna say."

"So you're saying that you're not sure?"
She squints her eyes at him as her eyebrows furrow with anger. "What I'm saying is, is that I know my body and I just want to be completely sure."

"You said that the last time though..."

"And you're reaction is the same as last time too..."

"No its not." he shakes his head no "We weren't .. I wasn't..."

She interrupts him " Last time when I thought I was pregnant you pretended to be all happy and when I told you I wasn't you were so relieved. Now you are wishing that it was a false positive."

"Stop jumping to conclusions Liv. Its just a lot to take in. The actual fact that I'm going to be a father is just...a lot."

"And what do you think it is for me huh?"

"You already have Noah."

"So what? That is completely different and you know it."

"I know, I'm just saying that you already have the experience of being a mother and I don't have any experience at all. I can't even remember when was the last time I changed a diaper." he sighs out

" Bryan, it's going to be a big step for the both of us. I'm scared too ok." She reaches out to hold his hand.

"And if you meant what you said about having a family with me...then it just happened a little sooner than the both of us expected."

He looks up and smiles at her. "I meant what I said Liv."

"Good. Then we can be scared...together." She gives his hand a little squeeze.

"And Bryan.."

"Yea Liv?"

"Lets order something... because I'm starving."

They both erupt in laughter breaking through some of the tension.

Back at the Precinct

Amanda is standing mixing her sugar into her coffee and can't stop thinking about her little encounter with Benson a few minutes earlier.

"Wow. Is Liv really pregnant? Couldn't really see the results.. but that definitely was a pregnancy test in her hands, I'm sure of it. She just stood there crying...I can't even tell anyone about this, not even sure if I should mention it to her again. Way too awkward...I knew something was up with her but... another baby...I didn't even know she was seeing anyone.. Wow."

Amaro brushes past her Amanda jarring from her thoughts.

He then walks over to the fridge and pulls out an energy drink and takes a long swig as he walks back past her he whispers "Meet me in the cribs in five." with that being said he makes his way upstairs with Rollins not to long following behind him.

Up in the Cribs

Amanda walks in closing the door behind her leaning against the door while Amaro is sitting across from her on an empty bed.

"Why did you call me up here Nick?" she sighs

"Liv knows."

"Liv knows what?" immediately responding back

"She knows about us."
"What?... How?...When?!" Amanda gets really jittery and now can't stop pacing.

"I don't know. I think she knew for a while." he put back to her.

"How do you knows she knows though?"

"Well that ass Cassidy came here and Liv and I got into an argument and-"

"Cassidy?!"

"Yea Cassidy, why is that so surprising?"

"Its not... its just.. I thought they had broken up like a year ago." she says trying to temper her response while she is slowly putting the pieces together.

"Yea they did breakup but somehow he wormed his way back into her life and I think they are back together now." he gets up from his position on the bed and now he's the one pacing.

"You know that prick didn't even have the decency to come check up on her when Lewis got her that second time. What does she see in him anyway? That man has been with a hooker for crying out loud!"

Amanda walks over to him and places her hand against his chest. " Nick. Relax."

"Sorry. Its just...it's just... Liv has been through a lot. She doesn't need this. She's my partner, and I'm always going to protect her...even from him."

"I know you're protective of her...but Nick we all have skeletons in our closet and we all wish to go home to somebody at night. Just back off a little, you know. Liv is pretty independent. You don't want to push too hard and be so overprotective that she starts hating you for it."

"True." he says while sitting back onto the bed while stands right above him.

"Just wait it out. She seems to be going through something right now and she needs to be able to come to someone and be able to talk about and you want that person to be you so just be...be patient."

"Thanks"he looks up at her smiling and pulls her closer.

"You're welcome." she smiles back

He pulls her down onto the bed and gives her a quick peck on the lips.

"Not here Nick" she says pulling away.

"Liv already knows whats the harm."

"That's not a good thing" she laughs " And I want to stay on her good side."

Just then there is a knock on the door, Amanda and Nick immediately separate and Fin walks in.

"Liv is back from her lunch, I would get downstairs if I were you two."
" Yea, we'll be right down Fin." Amanda says

Fin nods his head and walks out the room heading downstairs.

"We better get back down Nick."

"You go ahead down. And Amanda?"

"Yeah?"

"We still on for tonight?"

"Hmmmm. Maybe we should postpone it for a later time, lay low."

Nick starts nodding his head in agreement

"You said you had an argument with Liv, right? "

"Yeah, so?"

"So maybe you should smooth things out with her first."

"Yeah..maybe I'll do that, give Noah a visit."

"Liv is gonna be fine alright. Don't stay up here too long thinking about it,I'll see you in the squad room in a few."

"Thanks again Amanda."

"Anytime."

Amanda makes her way down the stairs and starts her thinking about what Nick had told her." So now Liv knows about Nick and I and I barely just got her to trust me again and on top of that Nick is having arguments with her about Cassidy who very well maybe the man she may be pregnant for. This is too much. I would let Nick know but that is not my place. All I can do is push him to talk to Liv and to get him to stop being so judgmental about Cassidy cuz it looks like he's not going anywhere anytime soon."
