Chapter Title: The Movie Night

Seven weeks later

Olivia was now in the sixteenth week of pregnancy and she has already a pretty good baby bump. She was enjoying it, although she always covered it when she was with Micah. She was really very lucky with her pregnancy and her new friendship with Micah.

Olivia gladly spent time with Micah, he was a perfectly mannered young man. Every time they were together she thought that, if only she weren't pregnant, that she could allow her relationship with him to go further. She didn't know however even why, perhaps was there more and she did not know if he would tell now that it wouldn't be any more in on a friendly relationship interested. It was Friday, the day they always meet to watch movies together. They hadn't missed a Friday night in the past four weeks. Every week she was more and more excited about seeing him.

"Hey El, care if I go now?," she looked high and regarded to him hopeful.

"I'll see you on Monday. A good weekend," he smiled with the last note.

Olivia ignored his smile, because it was his curious smile and smiled back; she took her jacket and went fast out of the precinct. It was already five thirty before she was able to leave and she was wanting to stop by the video store to rent a movie for their evening. She also wanted to visit the book store. Since she had found out she was pregnant she had been reading every book about babies and pregnancy and being a single mother, that she could find.

She arrived at the video store, not knowing what type of movie she was looking for. Micah had said for her to pick out what she wanted, but she didn't want to get something he wouldn't like. Their tastes were very different. She was into dramas and he loved horror flicks. She ended up leaving the store with a love story and two horror movies. Although, she wasn't sure if her now sensitive stomach could handle the gory ones. Then she walked across the street to a book store where she bought "Solo Parents" and "Nine Months."

She made it home a little after six, glad that she had just enough time to take a shower before Micah arrived.

As the water turned off it became cold it and took herself a cloth around herself to dry. As the water became cold, she turned it off and grabbed a towel to dry herself. She stopped to admire her baby belly in the mirror. She loved looking at the small bump, knowing that her little baby was growing in there. She would hardly wait to meet her bundle of joy. She went into her bedroom and changed for more comfortable clothes to simple trousers and a white t-Shirt (perfect for one movie evening).

Around 7.00PM it knocked at the door, she couldn't believe how excited she was as she went to open the door.

"Hey, Liv," he smiled with his small dimples, Olivia loved these.

"Micah, hey come in," she moved to give him room to come in.

He looked to her, "you look today great, like always." He smiled again to her and walked to the couch.

" Aww, you're a liar, but thanks anyway," she said as she followed him to the couch.

"Pizza is ordered and I also brought beer," he said with a smile.

"Perfect." she sits down beside him. "I have the movies," she grinned and took her bag from where it laid on the table

"I rented, "The Decent," "In the Bedroom" and "Dracula 2000." He took the movies and examined each cover carefully.

"How about we start with the horror movies and wrap up the evening with the love story?," he suggested.

"Yeah, that's a deal." She loved the idea.

"Great."

Micah walked into the kitchen to get a beer. In the past seven weeks he had gotten as comfortable in her apartment as he was in his.

"Do you want a beer, Liv?," he asked from the kitchen.

"No, thank you," she said as she took the video and inserted it into the vcr.

In the meantime, he grabbed his beer and returned to the living room. He sat and the couch and waited on Olivia to come and sit next to him.

"Why do you actually drink no alcohol?" he added then still in addition in the joke.

" Why don't you drink, are you an alcholic?"

Olivia was a little hurt by his comments. "If I was, then why would I have beer in my refrigerator?"

Micah noticed that his joke had hurt her feelings. "I'm sorry, Liv, I meant that as a joke," he held out his hand to her in a peace offering.

"It is okay. I know that you didn't wanted to hurt me," she smiled.

"Why don't we start the movie," she said, wanting to change the subject.

"Sure," he smiled and put his arm around Olivia.

Later on the evening

"Did you like the horror movies?"

"The movies were good, except for the parts of the first one were I had to put my hand over my eyes." she grinned snivelling.

"I know now that I won't eat pizza the next time I watch a horror movie," She laid her head on his shoulder and he began to stroke her hair.

"Want to watch the third movie, now?" He hoped she would say yes, he wasn't ready to leave yet.

"Of course, after this massacre I need something for the heart," she shifted to be closer to Micah.

"It's a great film, an older woman falls for a younger man and then he ex-lover shots him. He looked to Olivia and waiting for reaction from Olivia to the older woman young man thing.

She looked in Micah's eyes, "yea, I agree you," she smiled shyly.

Again their attention turned to the movie. Olivia's head again on Micah's shoulder and Micah's arm around Olivia.

Half way thought he movie, Micah noticed that Olivia had fallen asleep. He smirked at the sight and moved Olivia so that she could lay completely on the couch. He went to get a blanket to cover her with and then turned off the television.

"Hey, you. What are you doing?"

"I turned off the TV, so that you can sleep," he said with a half smile, he moved nearer to Olivia.

"Oh okay," she yawned

He wanted to go out the door but Olivia's hand stopped him.

"Please, sleep here with me," she asked with a hopeful voice.

Thought about it for a minute, although he wasn't sure why, he knew he couldn't tell her no.

"Sure Liv," he moved slowly behind Olivia and embraced her from the rear so that his hands were directly on her stomach. (He thought for a second before turning to kiss Olivia on the cheek. Before he knew what had happened, his lips were on hers. She opened her eyes suddenly, looking at him in surprise.

"I'm so sorry, Liv," Micah, just wanted to get up, but Olivia stopped him.

"It is okay, Micah," she pulled him back toward her.

"It is really okay," she whispered as she noticed that Micah still felt uncomfortable. She pulled him even closer to her and this time it was her was kissed him. They both smiled, and then Olivia shifted back into her comfortable position, falling asleep with a smile on her face.

„Good night, Snow White," he smiled as the put his arm around Olivia and fell asleep himself.

The next morning

Micah was the first to wake up, his mind still on the kiss the night before, his arms still around Olivia. He couldn't help but think how beautifly she was. He would give anything to have a chance with her. Moving to the armchair, so that he could admire her better, he noted how peaceful she was sleeping. He wondered how long it would be before he woke from this dream.

He looked around her apartment, noticing things he hadn't before. He loved the modern look of her furnishings. As he glanced around, his eyes fell on two books laying on her book shelf. He went looking at around himself the books.

When he first looked at the books he was confused. Then he started thinking about how she wouldn't drink alcohol, she it started to make sense.

"Hey, you," she said as she yawned.

"Hey, Liv," he put the books away and moved to Olivia. "Did you sleep well?" he asked and put again to Olivia

"Yeah, I sleep great. Did you?"

" Me too," he smiled.

"Liv …," he spluttered and moved uncomfortably

"Liv, can I kiss you?," he sputtered as he moved uncomfortably toward her.

She grinned, pulled him into a long kiss.

As they broke up again both, there was a long comfortable pause as they broke their kiss. Neither knew what to say, both just lost in their own dream worlds. Micah was the first to break their silence.

"Can I ask you something Liv," he asked carefully.

"Sure, Micah. What is it?," see his anxious face, she turned completely to him.

"Ahm.. I saw books …," his voice became quieter.

"I'm sorry, but I saw your books. Are you pregnant?," he asked and stroke her hair.

She buried her face into his shoulder. It gave a long pause before Olivia answered him. "Yes, I am."

"I'm sorry Micah," he embraced her and smiled.

"Why, sorry. It is wonderful, isn't it?" he asked and embraced her with a smile.

"Yeah, it is."

"Why you didn't tell me?" She buried her head more deeply in Micah's shoulder.

"Because I like you and I wasn't sure how was would react. I didn't want that to change our relationship," she stopped and carefully considered her next words…"

"I'm also ten years older than you, I thought maybe you thought of me as an old woman."

"You're not an old woman. You're a very attractive, sexy woman," he smirked as he kissed her.

"You want to go on a date, Miss Benson?," he smiled and waited for an answer.

"I would love to," she grinned as she pulled him to her.
