In the morning Olivia's stomach felt kind of queasy but she got a grip on herself, had some tea and tried swallowing down some crackers for breakfast, she even managed to make an appointment with her doctor so she can see where she stood with this pregnancy and what the months ahead would entail for her.

Olivia started to gather her things from her desk, getting ready to head home for the day. She only came in to the office to tie up some loose ends on a case and was determined to get back to Noah. All morning she was anticipating the moment that Bryan would come to pick her up from work. This was a big step for them today since Bryan was going to be meeting Noah for the first time. She almost felt like this was a test for their relationship or even a little trial run for Bryan.

Just as she was clearing her desk Rollins was lingering in her doorway.

"Liv, you got a minute?" Amanda nervously asked

"Yea, whats up?" she said matching in nervousness.

Amanda walks into the office, closes the door behind her, and sits across from Olivia.

"Look...I...uh...I know that you know about Nick and I and...I uh... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...We didn't mean for it to really happen, you know."

"Slow down Amanda." Olivia sighs "Look I've been down this road before. Trust me when I say if I felt that you and Nick we compromising cases I would have brought disciplinary action on both of you. I'm just a little disappointed that's all."

"I'm just mostly mad at myself since I've been working so hard for you to trust me again."

"Amanda, If I didn't think you were a good detective would I leave you to teach dear Carisi the ropes?" she smirks

"And here I thought that was some sort of punishment because you didn't like me." Amanda laughs.

"Well somebody had to teach him and I don't think giving that job to Amaro or Fin was in anyone's best interest." Olivia says between their laughs

"True." Amanda nods. "Yea...so I told Nick we should cool it for now... you know. We don't need anyone having a microscope on SVU because of us."

"No we do not. I already have Dodds breathing down my neck, We don't need any hiccups."

Amanda nods her head and there is an awkward pause between the both of them.

"Anything else? I can see your mind working there."

"Sorry...yea...it's just the other day when umm you-"

"When I what?" she says hoping Rollins would feel a bit intimidated and drop the next subject she's about to bring up.

"When I saw you in the bathroom...crying... and holding a pregnancy test..."

Olivia almost at a loss for words shifts uncomfortably in her seat not providing an answer right away.

"Liv...its just if you-"

"Stop whatever you're about to say because I need you to listen." Olivia rises from her seat and comes around to lean on the front side of her desk so that she is closer to Amanda's seat.

"Whatever I'm about to say to you does not get repeated, understand."

Amanda nods her head yes.

Liv lets out a long sigh and begins to speak "I'm sorry that you had to see me like that. That you walked in on me having a semi meltdown. Usually I have it under control... Anyways when you walked in I had just found out that I'm... I'm uhh...pregnant."

"Congratulations Liv." Rollins says trying to lighten the mood.

"Thanks." she said giving a brief smile "but that is besides the point. At my age I already know that this is going to be pretty high risk so I don't need anyone knowing or finding out until I'm at least out of my first trimester. I don't want to have to ask you to keep this a secret and I honestly even hate that you know...no offense..."

" None taken...Liv, I understand completely. This is your business and your secret is safe with me. You should have the luxury to tell whoever this news to whenever you want."

"Thanks Amanda...and thanks for not telling Nick or Fin." she says still looking down.

" Well I'm guessing Cassidy is the father and well you know... Nick is not his biggest fan."

" Nope not at all." she sadly agrees.

"Telling Nick would have just caused unneeded chaos and you don't need that. Also this is something that Fin and Nick need to hear from you, not me."

"Yea..."

"You deserve to be happy...don't let anyone get in the way of that."

"I hear ya. And Amanda...thanks again."

Amanda smiles over at Liv then rises to leave the room. On her way out of the door bumps into Cassidy as he was making his way in.

"Hey Cassidy." she awkwardly says

" Hey Rollins, sorry did the door hit you?"

" No, no I'm good." she rambles out.

"Alright, see you." Bryan replies back

Amanda says another awkward goodbye then closes the door behind her.

"What's up with her?"

" Don't worry about that. She drinks too much coffee anyways.."

Cassidy still looking confused says " That seemed to be a little more than coffee babe." he laughs

"Maybe so...but..I'll tell you later, lets just get out out of here."she says smiling and leaning forward to give him a peck on the lips.

Playground Near Benson Residence 1:15 PM

Olivia sits on a nearby park bench watching as Bryan pushes Noah in the swing. She snaps a few candid shots of the two just taking in the moment. She walks on over to the pair to share the happy moment reaching her hand out to take a picture of the three of them to add to her collection.

"How are my boys doing?"

"Great. This boy loves the swing Liv." Bryan responds rather enthusiastically.

"Yes he does, oh yes he does." she says using a baby voice while tickling Noah. "Is my little boy ready to go home for some lunch huh? You hungry?"

She pulls Noah out from the swing cuddling into him placing a kiss on his temple. Bryan stares at her in awe.

"What?" she sheepishly asks.

"Nothing, nothing. You just look so happy. You're a natural at this thing."

"I am happy" she says reaching for his hand while Noah rests on her hip " And overtime... I learned...and so will you."

Bryan nods his head taking her words in then nervously asks "Mind if I hold him?"

"Not at all." she says while passing Noah over to Bryan.

She loves how they are intrigued and fascinated with each other and she loves how bright her future is looking already.

Noah snuggles into Bryan as they walk hand in hand back to her apartment

Olivia just can't believe how picture perfect her life has become, she just hope it lasts.

A/N: It's like pulling a leg to get feedback but it inspires me to write more or to have me feel that people are even still interested in the story. Also I am in college and I have finals coming up so I might be a little MIA when it comes to updates but nonetheless REVIEWS are highly appreciated!

Beware that the next chapter might be M rated so let me know you're opinion on that approach to the story.
