Chapter 22 is here, filled with a little bit of everything you all love so much... Enjoy ;)


The next morning, Olivia and Brian woke up together. She looked in his eyes and smiled. "Hi."

He smiled and gently brushed a few locks out of her eyes. "Hi." He leaned in and kissed her gently, his hand coming to rest on her swollen belly.

She rested her hand on top of his and rested her forehead against his. "I really am sorry about yesterday," she whispered, looking down at his chest.

"Hey, look at me." He saw her eyes lift to meet his. "It's okay." He caressed her face and wiped away a tear that had fallen from her eye. "I love you, through thick and thin, through mood swings and fights. I'm not going anywhere, even if you tell me to."

She ran her hands over his chest. "I love you," she whispered. "More than I could ever possibly describe."

He hugged her tight. "If it's nearly as much as I love you, I think I can imagine it."

She smiled and took a deep breath. "We have a long day. Packing, I have to go in and tell Cragen about the baby."

"You know, we're going to need to start thinking about a name."

"I've been tossing a few around in my head, Cerise Fleurette?"

"It's a possibility. It's definitely pretty, and unique."

"What are some names you had in mind?"

"Helena, Helena Jane."

She looked at him. "This is going to be harder than we thought, isn't it?"

He kissed the top of her head. "We'll find the right name."

She smiled and kissed him softly. "We just have to keep our minds turning."

"Let's get up, get Calvin off to school, and then you and I can get a start on packing."

She took a deep breath. "Okay."

"Hey, you want me to go with you when you tell Cragen?"

She shrugged. "You don't have to. It'd be nice, but I know there's a lot to do here, too."

"You want me there, I'll be there."

She nuzzled into him. "You're the best."

He kissed the top of her head. "Come on beautiful, let's get dressed."

They both climbed out of bed and slipped into comfortable clothes, as they would be spending most of the day packing. Once they were dressed they walked out of the bedroom, seeing Calvin up, dressed, and sitting at the breakfast nook eating his breakfast. Olivia smiled and walked over to him, kissing the top of his head. "Look at you, up and ready for the day. Are you actually looking forward to going to school?"

He nodded. "We're watching movies all day."

She smiled and messed his hair up a little, walking around the nook and into the kitchen, making herself a cup of tea. Brian was working on making them breakfast. She looked back at Calvin. "Well, we'll be here when you get home from school. We're working on packing things up."

"Do you guys need any help?"

"When you get back from your movie day at school, you can give us a hand if you want."

Calvin nodded. "Sounds good." He finished his breakfast then hopped off his stool. "Love you guys, see you later!" He ran out the door.

Olivia smiled and shook her head. She smelled breakfast and smiled. "Oh, baby, that smells delicious. What is it?"

"Corned beef hash, eggs over easy, and some toast."

She wrapped her arms around him. "Look at you, big man in the kitchen." She smirked and leaned in and whispered in his ear. "Big man in the bedroom." She bit his earlobe and looked into his eyes.

"And I'm the one who needs to be punished?"

She bit her bottom lip. "You love it."

He squeezed her ass and pulled her closer to him. "Damn right I do."

She giggled and rested her forehead against his. "I love mornings like this," she whispered.

He kissed her softly, his hands moving from her ass to her hips. "So do I, Pancakes."

"They all thought we wouldn't make it. They thought it was a fling, but I can't picture myself having a child and spending my life with anyone but you," she said gently, her head resting on his chest.

"The only people that matter to me live in this house. As long as we all love each other in this house, the house we're moving into… That's all that matters. No one else's opinion is relevant."

She smiled and ran her hands over his chest. "Not to ruin the amazing moment here, but baby Cassidy is hungry."

He smiled and rubbed her stomach, kneeling in front of Olivia and lifting her shirt. "Are you a hungry girl?" He kissed her belly and stood back up.

Olivia was in awe of him. She was everything he had ever wanted in a man. He was kind, compassionate, a family man. But he had another side to him, too. He was tough, a passionate lover, a protector. It hit her that the man she had been waiting for her entire life had always been right under her nose, she was just too blind to see it. She looked into his eyes when he stood back up and pulled him into a passionate kiss.

He kissed her back, his hands resting on either side of her face. He broke the kiss gently. "What was that for?" He asked gently.

She smiled and looked into her eyes. "For being you, being everything I ever wanted in a man, most of all, for giving me a second chance."

He gently caressed her face. "You're the only one I ever wanted, Liv. From the first day I laid eyes on you, that night at prom, I knew." He smiled gently. "You're it for me. You're my drug, my addiction, and I'm never going to give you up."

She sniffled a bit and shook her head. "After all these years, everything we've been through, together and apart. It was all leading us back to one another."

"Always, baby. Always."

"We should probably eat and get a move on," she whispered and kissed him again.

He chuckled and picked her up, carrying her to the table and setting her down in a chair. He then went back into the kitchen, plated their breakfast and brought it in, setting a plate in front of her. He rushed back to the kitchen to get a fork and their drinks. "Breakfast, my love, is served."

She smiled and picked up her fork and started eating. "Oh, baby, this is delicious." She let out a small moan.

"Maybe I should cook more often, getting to hear you moan even more…"

Olivia looked over him. "Oh, that punishment is so coming your way."

"Don't make promises you can't keep, baby."

She smirked. "I got my cuffs. I can live up to expectations… and then some." She winked at him and went back to eating.

"Tease." He started eating when he felt her foot inching up his leg under the table. He looked over at her, but he saw her looking at her plate, as if nothing was going on.

She felt his eyes staring at her. She lifted her eyes and smiled. "May I help you?" She asked, her foot still moving over his leg, but her face as if she was completely innocent.

"Just looking at my beautiful fiancé." He felt her foot in his crotch. He smirked and rolled his eyes. When she started moving her foot against his dick, he nearly choked on his food.

"Are you alright, baby?" She asked gently.

He took a sip of his coffee and nodded. "Yeah, went down the wrong pipe."

She smiled and kept up her ministrations on him with her foot. "Careful, love."

He smiled and ran his hand over her foot. He saw her eyes rise to meet his. They held eye contact for a few seconds. They quickly finished eating. Once she was finished he was off the chair, he pulled her up into a kiss. She wrapped her body around his, smirking when he brought her into the living room and laid her down on the couch. She broke the kiss and looked up at him. He smiled and ran his thumb over her lips, feeling her kiss the pad of his thumb. "You're a naughty one, aren't you?"

She giggled and pulled him down on her. "Only for you," she whispered and kissed him again, slipping her hands under his shirt, only breaking the kiss to take it off of him. They quickly undressed each other. Once they were both naked, he broke the kiss. She rested her hands on his shoulders, feeling him push into her. She gasped and arched her back. "Oh, Bri." She moaned, feeling him start to move inside of her. "Oh, God, yes!"

His hands were all over her, touching every inch of skin he could reach. He loved how her body had changed with pregnancy. He craved being able to be inside her, he savored each and every moment. He let out a groan as his hips moved into hers, feeling her meeting his every thrust. He took her legs and wrapped them around his waist. "Shit, Liv."

Her nails scraped at his back, and she pulled him into a kiss. She let out a moan, feeling him moving harder and faster inside of her. She broke the kiss and she let out a breath. Her breath was heavy and her face and neck started to flush. She felt a light sweat start to come over her body and she moaned. "Baby, please," she begged. She needed him to release. She needed her own release.

"Fuck yeah, baby," he mumbled. He kissed her passionately, feeling her walls tighten around him his dick twitched, feeling his release close, he broke the kiss and looked into her eyes. "Come for me, baby," he said in a low, gravelly voice that drove her insane.

His words did it; she fell over the edge, hard. Her entire body tensed and shook with pleasure as her orgasm wracked her body. She felt him come inside her and she let out a loud moan. Once they both rode out their orgasms she felt him collapse on top of her. "Fuck, baby," she whispered, her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath.

"Sounds about right," he whispered and giggled. He kissed her softly and smiled. He broke the kiss and caressed her face. "Come on, sexy, let's get dressed… again… and go let Cragen know the good news."

"My legs feel like jello." She giggled and felt him slide out of her. "Mm." She closed her eyes and smiled. She sat up and put her bra and panties back on, slipping back into her yoga pants and her t-shirt. She slipped into her flats and took Brian's hand as they walked out the door and drove to the precinct.

They stepped out of the car when they reached the station and walked inside and up to the squad room. Fin walked over and smiled, he hugged her. "Congratulations, baby girl."

"What are you talking about?"

"Aw, come on, you're glowing. Parents always know."

She smiled. "Thanks, Fin."

"Cragen know?"

"Um, not yet, we're going in to tell him now." She nodded.

"I'll catch up with you two later," Fin waved at them as he hopped on the elevator.

Olivia smiled and walked over to Cragen's office and knocked on the door. When she heard him tell them to come in she opened the door and they walked in. "Captain."

"Liv, everything okay? I know you're getting ready to move, didn't think we'd be seeing you for a few days."

She smiled and looked at Brian. "We… we have something we need to tell you."

"What's that?"

She smiled and rested her free hand on her swollen belly. "I'm pregnant."

Cragen was stunned. He knew how much she wanted this; he couldn't believe that the woman he had come to love as a daughter was carrying a child. He walked over to them and hugged her. She closed her eyes and let out a breath, hugging him back. "How far along are you?"

She wiped her eyes gently. "Um, about five months."

"So, it's not—"

She shook her head. "It's not Lewis's."

Brian hugged her gently from behind. "They are both survivors, both my girls fought and both of them survived."

"It's a girl?"

Olivia nodded, tears in her eyes. "Yeah. Yeah, we went for an ultrasound yesterday, they confirmed it." She felt like she was telling her father that she was going to be a mother. He was the only real father figure she's ever had.

"Liv, I am so happy for you. Um, you know you'll be on desk duty until maternity leave, right?"

Olivia nodded. "Yeah, I know. I'm cool with that."

"Okay, well, you two have a lot of packing to do. Go have a nice few days. And, Brian, take care of her."

Brian looked back at Cragen and nodded. "Couldn't think of doing anything else, Cap." Olivia and Brian walked out to the car, stopped at the Brooklyn Deli to grab lunch to go, and then heading back to the apartment to start packing. They each packed a good portion of their clothes, which was a good portion of what was in the apartment. About an hour in they took a break for lunch. Olivia ran her hands over her belly, and she gasped. "What, baby, what's wrong?"

She shook her head and smiled. "Come here." She took his hand and put it on her stomach. "She's kicking." She felt the tears stream down her face. "Wow. This feels weird."

"Bad weird?"

She shook her head. "Amazing weird."

He rested his hand on her cheek and kissed her passionately. They heard the door open and they broke the kiss, looking at the door, seeing Calvin walk in. "Hey, kiddo."

"Hey, everything okay? Why is Mom crying?"

Olivia smiled and wiped her eyes. "The baby."

"Is she okay?"

Olivia nodded. "She's perfect. I just felt her kick for the first time and I'm obviously a little emotional over that."

"Oh thank God, I thought there was something wrong."

"My thoughts exactly, kiddo," Brian smiled and wrapped his arm around Calvin. "How was school?"

He nodded. "Pretty good, we watched a really old movie."

"What movie was that? Frankenstein?"

Calvin shook his head. "No, Practical Magic."

Olivia nodded her head. "Practical Magic is an old movie. Wow."

"Well it did come out before I was born."

"God I feel old."

Brian chuckled and kissed her forehead. "Come on, I'm older than you."

She looked at him. "You are, aren't you, old man?"

Brian raised an eyebrow. "You're funny."

She shrugged. "I know." They went back to packing, taking pictures off the wall and she looked at one. "Hey, this picture, it's from prom."

He looked at it and smiled. "Yeah, I had it up before we were together, took it down when we got together, and once I found out that it was you, I put it back up."

She looked up at him and kissed him gently. "I love you." She wrapped it in newspaper and put it in the box with all of the pictures from the wall. She saw him holding the skull of a bull. "No. That… thing is not going in our house. It's… vulgar."

"But it matches my tattoo."

"It does, which is why we don't need it on the wall. It wasn't up in this apartment; do we really need it in the house?"

"I didn't have room for it in this apartment. Come on, can you give it a chance?"

"If we can work it into the décor without needing five more of them, we'll discuss it."

"You like the one on my arm."

She closed her eyes then looked at him. She walked close to him and whispered soft enough so Calvin couldn't hear. "I like the one on your arm because it's a tattoo. You know what ink does to me."

He nodded. "Right. Hey, speaking of which, when are you getting yours?"

Calvin looked at them. "Mom, you're getting a tattoo?"

Olivia smiled. "Yes, once I have the baby and when I'm done breastfeeding. And when I get my body back so I can get it where I want it."

Calvin nodded. "So in about a year. Before or after the wedding?"

Olivia took a deep breath. "I guess I never thought of that. Probably after."

The three spent the rest of the day packing; they got the good majority of the living room packed up. At the end of the night they sat on the couch and took a deep breath. "Couple more days and we'll be ready to move in," Brian whispered, stroking Olivia's hair gently as she rested against him.

Olivia nodded. "I know. It's exciting." She felt him kiss the top of her head and she looked up at him and kissed him gently. She looked at her watch. "Oh, wow, Calvin, it's past bedtime."

He got up. "You don't have to tell me twice. I'm beat."

She smiled and gave him a hug and a kiss. "Good night."

"Night, Mom. Love you."

She smiled. "Love you, too." She rested her head back on his chest and took a deep breath. "We should probably get to bed too, baby," she whispered. "We have the amnio tomorrow morning."

He lifted her head and kissed her gently. "You're right. I was planning on having a little more fun tonight…"

"Tomorrow after we get home," she whispered and kissed him again. "Maybe I'll finally punish you."

He smirked and gently kissed her neck. "Maybe I should keep being bad, make the punishment worse."

"You're already going to be moaning my name, don't push it," she whispered and kissed him gently. She stood up and walked into the bedroom, swaying her hips more than usual to taunt him. She stopped at the door and looked over her shoulder and smiled. "You coming, sexy?" She bit her bottom lip and smirked seeing him get up and rush to her side.


She woke up to her lips being kissed. She kissed back for a minute before breaking the kiss and opening her eyes. She smiled. "Morning," she said softly.

"Morning," he whispered, kissing her again. He let out a gentle moan and ran his hand up her thigh, his thumb brushing against her hip.

She let out a soft moan and broke the kiss. "Amnio day," she whispered, tension running across her face.

"Hey, what's going through that pretty little head of yours?"

She shrugged. "All the things that amnio could show. What if the baby has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? Lewis forced me to drink… a lot," she whispered tears in her eyes. "Not to mention Downs Syndrome, a handful of other illnesses." She shook her head. "I just want her to be healthy."

He kissed her forehead. "Hey, don't think like that. She's a fighter, just like her mama. She's going to be healthy, and then some."

She smiled gently and ran her hands over his chest. "You're right. I just don't want my age or Lewis to be a problem for her, before she's even born."

"Look at me, whether this little girl has FAS or Downs, or whatever other birth defect… she will still be perfect, and she will be so loved by all of us."

She felt a tear fall from her eye and she nodded. "Yeah, come on, let's get Calvin off to school so we can head to the doctor's."

"He already left, baby. It's 9:00. I let you sleep in, you need it. We had a busy day."

She smiled and kissed him gently. "You're the best, you know that."

He smiled and nodded. "I think you've mentioned it a few times." He chuckled and kissed her again. "Up and at 'em, we're going to go find out that Baby Girl Cassidy is healthy."

She smiled and sat up. She walked over to the drawers they hadn't packed yet and picked out a comfortable outfit. She pulled on a pair of her yoga pants and a camisole, slipping into a long sleeved, low cut shirt and she smiled. She put her socks and shoes on and she took a deep breath. "Okay, let's get this over with," she said gently, gathering her short hair into a pony tail.

They walked out to the car and drove to the doctor's office. Olivia was taken back and sat on the exam table. She saw the nurse getting everything ready and stepping out. She saw Dr. Tessler come in and wash her hands. "Hello, Olivia."

Olivia smiled. "Hi."

The red headed doctor slipped on gloves and walked over to Olivia. "Okay, I need you to lie back."

Olivia nodded and got in the position she had become used to, lying on her back, her one arm resting behind her head. Dr. Tessler pulled the ultra sound machine over and started an ultra sound. Olivia looked at Brian and took his hand, lacing their fingers.

Dr. Tessler nodded. "Okay," she put a little antiseptic on Olivia's stomach and picked up the needle. "You're going to feel a little pinch, maybe some stinging and cramping, but I need you to lie perfectly still, alright?"

Olivia closed her eyes and nodded. She felt the needle enter her stomach, and then her uterus. She scrunched her face and squeezed Brian's hand. Dr. Tessler extracted some amniotic fluid from Olivia's uterus then slowly pulled out the needle.

"Okay, hard part's over. We'll send this over to the lab, but we want you to sit tight for ten to fifteen minutes, we just want to make sure the baby's heartbeat is okay."

"Why wouldn't it be?"

"It's okay, Olivia. It's just standard procedure. We just like to make sure the baby wasn't too upset by the intrusion of a needle."

Olivia nodded. "Okay." She wasn't sure why she was complaining. She got to lie there and listen to her favorite sound in the world, her baby's heartbeat. She looked at Brian and smiled. "I've never heard a sound more beautiful than our baby's heart."

Brian smiled and nodded. "I feel the same way." He kissed the top of her head.

After about ten minute Dr. Tessler smiled. "Well, she looks like she's doing perfectly fine. You're all set. I'll call you in a couple weeks to let you know the results. And Olivia, take it easy for a day or two."

"Weeks?" She let out a breath and looked at Brian. "We were kind of hoping to have answers today."

Dr. Tessler nodded. "A lot of women want that, and until we can come up with conclusive better tests, unfortunately, we have to send them home without answers. Trust me, I hate it as much as you do." She gave a small smile and walked out of the room.


A/N: Yes, I'm leaving you with a cliff hanger. I know it's fiction, but in my opinion, unless we're talking about science fiction, it still needs to be believable, and needs to be as factual as possible, and because I'm not comfortable skipping 3-4 weeks in one chapter, the results of the amnio will be in next chapter. Maybe we'll finally see that punishment Liv has in store for Brian in next chapter as well. Thanks, as always, for reading! Please review, here or on twitter UnbrokenBarista. :) Stay tuned!
