Chapter Title: Surprise
On the next day in the doctor's waiting room Olivia waited impatiently. She could not wait to see her baby, and when she was finally called she jumped up with excitement. She went in the room, sat on a chair and waited for the doctor.
"Miss Benson, glad you are here. How was your week?" asked the doctor, giving her his hand.
"Good. Not too traumatic," she smiles. She knew that she should make certain that it does not become too stressed, because of her age.
"Then you can lie down, and then we can see your baby." With that Olivia lay down and pulled her shirt higher, thereby freeing her belly. The doctor takes a bit of gel and rubs it onto her belly.
"There is your baby - 9th week, Miss Benson," he shows on the screen.
"As far as I can see, and according to the last blood tests, the baby is healthy," he smiled. "Congrats."
"Wow, my baby. Oh my god, that's really my baby. It's so small." A tear ran down her cheek, she still couldn't believe it. That something was growing in her.
"Do you want your first baby photo, Miss Benson?"
"Yeah, please."
The doctor made a still image and printed the photo. Proudly, Olivia took the picture of her baby.
"Thank you, doc," she said as she wiped the gel off her belly.
"And don't forget your prenatal vitamins," the doctor smiled.
"Yeah, doctor."
The entire way from the hospital to the precinct she has a big smile on her face. She still couldn't believe that such a good thing was happening to her.
She went directly to Cragen's office; she was finally ready for this step. She knocked on the door and went in as she heard his voice.
"Hey, Captain. Can I talk to you?"
"Sure Olivia. What can I do for you?"
She smiled and took a seat.
"I have big news. That's going to change a few things here," she said with a happy voice.
"What is it? I hope it's nothing bad."
"No. I…. I'm …. Pregnant, Captain," she said with a big smile.
"Oh my god, Olivia. Congratulations. That's fantastic news!" he embraced her and grinned. He was happy for her; he knew that Olivia would be an amazing Mommy.
"You would be an awesome Mommy, Olivia. You know that, right?"
"Yeah, Captain. Thank you!" She answered, a little shyly and went with a grin out of the office and into the 'pen.
"El, Fin, and Munch, I want to tell you something." Their attention was immediately drawn to Olivia.
"Is something wrong?" asked Fin.
"No, I just want to tell you that," her voice became quiet again.
"I …" she continued, and took a picture out of her jacket.
"Here, guys... Look at this." she took the newest picture and gave it to the guys.
"Oh my god. You're pregnant?" asked Fin with an excited voice.
"That's wonderful, Liv. Congrats," said Munch
Olivia nodded happily and turned to Elliot. He stands there, emotionless. Hurt in his eyes. But he goes to her and embraces her.
"Congrats, Liv. That's great news. You will be an amazing mother," he smiled.
"Thank you, El."
"And which man can we congratulate?" Munch asked, getting dirty looks.
"M-unch," warned Fin and Elliot, because they know that it could only be Kyle.
"Well, it won't have a daddy," she answered with a sad voice and went back to her paper work.
Later on that day, as Olivia sat at her desk, Elliot came to her with hurt still in his eyes.
"El, what's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing, everything is perfect," he smiled.
"That I don't buy."
He took a deep breath and began.
"I found it very unfortunate that you did not trust me and that you did not tell me anything about the pregnancy."
"Oh, c'mon Elliot. It was nothing personal." As soon as it came out of her mouth she regretted it.
"I'm sorry, Elliot. But I did not want to share with anyone at the beginning, and after I went to the doctor's today, I wanted to share it with the whole world. Strange." She smiled at the last part.
"I'm sorry, Elliot," she repeats, but she can see that he is deeply hurt.
"I'm sorry, too. That you don't trust me." He paused and then began again.
"It's late, Liv. I'm going home. We'll see each other tomorrow." With that he left the precinct and Olivia sat alone at her desk. She knew that she had hurt Elliot, but she could not change it now.
She too decided to go home after the last document for the day was finished. She took her jacket and left the precinct.
She took a taxi back to her apartment. In the taxi, she thought back to the very attractive man she had met the previous day. She could not banish him from her thoughts. His smile, his irresistible eyes.
He was a perfect young guy, she thought. Maybe if he was older, or she younger she would have done more than just meet him…
As she arrived at her apartment, she paid the taxi driver and noticed a moving van.
"It's already late, why is that moving van still here?" she thought as she went to her apartment, stopping briefly as she saw the boxes belonging to the new neighbour.
She opened her door, and closed it behind her. Taking her jacket off, she went into her bedroom where she changed into more comfortable clothes again. Later, she went into the kitchen and considered what she wanted to eat. She was already starved, so she decided to order a pizza.
Waiting for the pizza, she sat down on the couch with her book. It was a 'parent-family' that she had bought the week before. She nestled herself on the couch with a blanket and pillow.
She was only on page 16 when a knock came at the door.
"I'll be there in a second," she said, going quickly to her door. But when she opened the door, there was a little surprise.
