Cragen stood up and came around from behind his desk and leaned against it as Elliot and Olivia came in and shut the door behind them. Elliot and Olivia sat in the chairs in front of Cragen's desk.
"So, how is everything? You doing okay?" Cragen asked, the last question directed at Olivia.
"I'm okay. I'm dealing," Olivia said.
Elliot rolled his eyes. He knew she wasn't truly dealing.
"Did you speak to Huang?" Cragen asked.
Olivia sighed and looked away.
"Liv, you need to talk to someone who can help."
"That's what I've been telling her, but she won't listen," Elliot said and Olivia glared at him.
"I'm fine. I'm ready to come back to work though."
Both men looked at her incredulously. She looked down and sighed.
"You know that isn't going to happen until you pass your psych eval and pass the range."
"I know. I have no issues with my weapon and I don't need my head shrunk."
"Apparently, you do because you're on edge right now."
"I have a lot on my mind and I'm tired. We came by to show you this."
She pulled out the ultrasound of the baby and handed it to him. She smiled as he looked at the photo in complete adoration.
"What do you think, grandpa?"
He looked at Olivia with tears shimmering in his eyes. He smiled.
"I'd be honored to be his or her grandpa."
Olivia smiled. He went to hand the picture back to her.
"Keep it. We have another. We made sure to have enough for the family."
He smiled and nodded. He walked around his desk and put the picture up against another picture, proudly displaying his unborn grandchild.
"Go home. Rest; take care of yourself and my unborn grandchild. Don't come back here until you've talked to Huang."
"Yes, sir," Olivia said as she and Elliot stood.
"Oh, and congratulations," Cragen said. He shook Elliot's hand and turned to pull Olivia into a fatherly hug, but he thought about it. She wrapped her arm around his waist and gave him a side hug.
"Thanks, Dad," Olivia said with a smile.
He let her go and she and Elliot left for home.
Once home, Olivia went to take a shower while Elliot started cleaning up a little. He picked up clothes and started a load of laundry and did the dishes. Once Olivia got finished with her shower, she was looking at herself in the mirror. She looked at her stomach. She was starting to show and she felt nervous and scared yet so happy that her dream was becoming a reality. She ran her hand over her stomach.
"I love you so much, Munchkin."
She felt a flutter and it surprised her.
"El!"
Elliot ran into the bathroom.
"What? What is it? What's wrong?"
"I…I think Munchkin just moved."
"Really? That's awesome, baby."
He pulled her to him and kissed her. He leaned down and kissed her belly. She smiled at him and him at her. He kissed her again and smiled.
"Happy?"
"Very, you?"
"Yes. I couldn't believe that this is happening and now that Munchkin has moved I know it's very real. I'm finally going to be the mother I've always wanted to be."
"I think you're going to be a wonderful mother. I've seen you with kids and it just comes natural to you."
"Before I was worried about that, but now I have you and I know I have nothing to worry about."
He kissed her again. He helped her finish getting dressed and then went to finish making dinner.
"Liv, are you going to make an appointment with Huang?"
She looked at him as she settled onto the couch. She hadn't even planned what she was doing tomorrow. She really didn't want her head shrunk, but she knew that there was no other way to go back to work.
"I will, tomorrow. It's too late right now."
He nodded. Dinner was ready and they ate. She moved to do the dishes, but he shooed her to the couch where she put on a movie. After the dishes were done, he settled in with her to watch the movie. When it was over, she was having a tough time keeping her eyes open. He smiled and kissed her crown.
"Come on, baby, let's go to bed."
"Mmm, too comfortable, stay here."
He grinned at her. He stood up and lifted her into his arms. She automatically wrapped hers around his neck. He carried her to the bedroom and laid her gently in bed. He pulled the covers up to her chin. He went into the bathroom and changed and then joined her in bed. She moved closer to him and he tucked his arms around her and fell asleep.
AN: I'm sorry it's so short and it's taken so long to update. I've had difficulty writing this chapter. My muse and I are fighting. I hope you liked it.
