Authors Note: Thank you all for the reviews, I am so sorry it took a few days to update, I had a wicked headache that wouldn't go away, and I just couldn't seem to find a way to get this chapter right. I hope you all enjoy this chapter, and once again I do not own any of these characters.

Also one quick clarification I would like to make, neither Amanda or Olivia is pregnant yet.

Now without any further ado, enjoy Chapter 19


Amanda smiled back at her "Then let's do it Olivia Benson, let's have a baby."


Amanda and Olivia spent the rest of the night talking, until they both passed out in each other's arms. But morning came too early for them; they both were woken up by Olivia's cell phone ringing. "Ugh please turn it off." Amanda mumbled as she nuzzled closer to Olivia who chuckled at her as she leaned over to get her cell phone off the night table.

"Benson" Olivia answered.

"Babe please, go somewhere else with that phone." Amanda mumbled.

"Olivia it's Cragen, can we talk for a second?" Cragen asked as Olivia got up from the bed and walked out into the living room area of the hotel room.

"Yea, what's up?" Olivia asked.

"When Alex was over at your hotel room, what did you two do?" Cragen asked and Olivia froze.

"We talked, she kissed me, and then I asked her to leave." Olivia explained hesitantly.

"Anything else Liv?" Cragen asked in that tone that told Olivia he knew she was lying.

"We umm, I umm got a bit drunk." Olivia whispered.

"That's what I thought…" Cragen began but Olivia cut him off.

"What do you mean that's what you thought? What is going on?" Olivia asked

"I found out who told Tucker about you having a supposed drinking problem." Cragen explained.

"Oh my God, please tell me it wasn't Alex?" Olivia asked in shock.

"I'm sorry Liv, but she did." Cragen told her.

"THAT VINDICTIVE BITCH!" Olivia shouted loudly, and then it dawned on Amanda that she wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep, and whatever was happening on that phone it didn't sound good, so she decided to get up from the bed.

"Liv, don't do anything. I will handle this." Cragen tried to calm one of his best detectives down.

"She tried to ruin my life, and now she probably just ruined my career." Liv shouted

"Babe what is happening?" Amanda asked Olivia walking up behind her.

"And now Amanda is being stubborn and getting out of bed on her own." Olivia said with a slight laugh.

"Liv, I will handle this, your career is not ruined. Now go take care of Amanda." Cragen told her and then they both said goodbye.

"Babe please tell me what is going on." Amanda pleaded with her girlfriend who was currently seeing red.

Olivia walked them both over to the couch and sat Amanda down gently "You know you are supposed to be taking it easy." Olivia explained.

"I am fine Liv, now please tell me what is going on." Amanda tried once again.

"Alex went to Tucker and told him I had a drinking problem." Olivia explained and Amanda's eyes went wide.

"That bitch" Amanda shouted and Olivia put her hands on Amanda's shoulders.

"Babe, please." Olivia warned

"No Liv, she can't get away with this. What just because you rejected her. I am sorry but I am not letting her get away with doing this to you." Amanda told her.

Olivia took her hands off Amanda's shoulders, and took both her hands in hers "Please Amanda, Cragen said he will handle this. Please just take it easy, and let me take care of you." Olivia pleaded and Amanda just looked at her. "Babe, I know. I am mad too I am, but please this isn't good for you and for your recovery." Olivia told her sweetly. "And I don't want anything happening to you, so don't make me handcuff you." Olivia told her and then mentally slapped herself for saying that.

Amanda smirked "Oh really detective" Amanda winked.

"No, I swear Rollins you have a one tracked mind." Olivia told her with a chuckle.

"How can I not with you Liv?" Amanda smirked and Olivia rolled her eyes.

"You hungry?" Olivia asked her after a few minutes of silence.

"Did you mean what you said last night?" Amanda asked looking down at their conjoined hands and Olivia nodded her head. "Do you even know what I am referring to?" Amanda asked needing to make sure.

"Yes Amanda I do, and yes I still want to have a baby with you." Olivia told her as she leaned into kiss her. "I would love nothing more than to have a baby with you, our baby." Olivia whispered against her lips before she kissed her again. "I love you Amanda Rollins, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Olivia whispered as she looked Amanda deep in the eyes when she pulled back from the kiss.

"I love you too Olivia Benson" Amanda told her with a smile. "But first Liv, I need to tell you something." Amanda told her and Olivia looked at her.

"Anything" Olivia told her.

"I don't want to go back to our apartment." Amanda confessed.

"That's okay baby, because neither do I." Olivia told her with a smile and Amanda smiled back. "I have an idea, but you don't have to agree if you don't want to." Olivia explained and Amanda nodded. "I was thinking we could get a house together, me and you, a new place, a new start." Olivia told her shyly and Amanda pulled her close and wrapped her arms around her.

"I love that idea Liv." Amanda whispered in her ear as she held her close, but their moment was cut short by Olivia's cell phone once again. "You know I think I am going to throw that phone of yours out the window." Amanda told her with a laugh.

"Then you can have fun explained to Cragen why I never answer my phone anymore" Olivia laughed as she grabbed the phone "Speaking of the devil." Olivia said before she answered. "Benson"

"Hey Liv, I have some good news." Cragen told her and Olivia smiled and pressed speaker phone.

"What's up?" Olivia asked

"I think you and Amanda should come down to the station for this one." Cragen explained. "But take your time, Amanda I know you are listening, and you better start relaxing and taking it easy or I am putting you on desk duty for a year." Cragen warned lightly.

"Yes sir." Amanda said with a smile.

"We will be there soon." Olivia told him before she hung up the phone.

Amanda and Olivia got ready and took Frannie outside before they left and drove to the station, but before they did they stopped at a local diner and got a quick breakfast. When they walked into the station, they couldn't help but notice there was hardly anybody around. As they arrived on to the floor of the squad room they noticed the doors were shut and the blinds were pulled. "Okay that is weird." Olivia stated.

"I wonder if Finn, had another breakdown and locked everybody out" Amanda laughed as Olivia pulled the door open and both women got tears in their eyes as they saw what was in front of them.

Officers and Detectives along with Finn, Amaro, and Cragen were standing in the squad room and once Olivia opened the door they all started clapping while they held up a banner which said "CONGRATULATIONS DETECTIVE ROLLINS & BENSON"

Amanda and Olivia stood in the doorway speechless, when Finn walked over to them. "Well come on don't just stand there. You are heroes." Finn explained and dragged them gently into the squad room.

Cragen walked over to them and pulled Olivia aside "Congratulations Liv, IA called off their investigation on you. Welcome back, even though you were never gone." Cragen told her and Olivia nodded her head with a smile.

Once all the other officers and detectives were gone and it was just Olivia, Amanda, Finn, Nick, and Cragen, Captain Cragen stood up and held his hand up in the air. "Alright everybody listen up please." Cragen announced and everybody directed their attention to him. "I didn't want to announce this until Olivia and Amanda were safe and their situation was resolved, but it's done and so am I, I'm leaving." Cragen told them.

"What, now?" Amanda asked in shock and Olivia's mouth dropped.

"Hey is this part of the deal? Because if it is…" Olivia began as she stood up from her desk but Cragen cut her off.

"No, no, no, this is my call." Cragen explained to her.

"Where are you gonna go Captain?" Finn asked standing up.

"Around the world actually, Eileen has two tickets for a six months cruise and I have enough accrued leave to take me through my mandatory retirement date. If I stay I make less than if I leave." Cragen explained and Amanda got up from her chair.

"Cap, a cruise okay." Amanda told him with a smile, holding back tears. "If anyone earned it."

"I am proud of my time here, and I'm honored and grateful to have worked with the finest unit of detectives I have ever known. Nick, you are going to get through this, you are too good of a man, and too good of a cop not to." Cragen told hold him and then turned to Amanda. "Amanda, I was never sorry I bought you up from Atlanta. I would do it again." He told her and Amanda smiled as tears rolled down her face. "And Finn, what can I say. For a guy who never should have been a SVU Detective, you're okay." Cragen told him as he nodded his head .

"Right back atcha Captain." Finn told him with a smile. "Nobody could ever take your place."

Cragen nodded his head as he made his way over to Olivia "Well for the meantime Detective Benson will, she's read. Now it's not easy-going from player to coach, so don't bust her chops. But if they do you bust them right back." Cragen told her as Olivia smiled as she fought hard to hold back the tears as everyone started to clap as Cragen made his way to his office.

Amanda walked over to Olivia and leaned down and kissed her check as she whispered "Congratulations Detective I mean Sergeant Benson"

Olivia smiled and turned her head to give her girlfriend a proper kiss "I will be right back, and Finn can you keep her seated please." Olivia chuckled and she walked over to Cragen's door and knocked on it before she opened it. "We should throw you a party." Olivia told him as she walked in.

"I don't like parties." Cragen stated with a smile as Olivia chuckled and shut the door. "This is good, word of advice?" Cragen asked

"Oh please" Olivia told him happily with a laugh as she walked over to him.

"I gave my whole life to NYPD, and I forgot to live my own. Me and Eileen it's a Hail Mary, it's a shot at happiness." Cragen explained and Olivia nodded her head with a smile. "People use to say this to me all the time and I never understood what it meant, but take care of yourself." Cragen told her and Olivia smiled as she nodded her head. "You deserve it." Cragen added as Olivia just nodded her head again, at the moment she just couldn't form words and Cragen gave her a hug.

Once Cragen leaned back from the hug, he grabbed the bag that he packed which contained all his items from his office. "I mean it Olivia; don't forget to live your own life. You and Amanda deserve happiness and you have it with each other, don't lose that." He told her and then walked over to the door, but before he opened it he turned around and looked at her and asked. "Oh and Olivia do something with the place will ya?"

Olivia smiled and nodded her head and Cragen smiled right back and opened the door and walked out of his office one last time which just became Olivia's.

Olivia sat on the desk thinking when there was a knock on the door, taking Olivia out of her thoughts. "Yea?" Olivia asked clearing her throat.

Amanda opened the door and stuck her head inside "Can I come in?"

Olivia nodded her head, and Amanda walked in and shut the door before she walked over to Olivia who wrapped her arms around her waist and pulled her close. "I thought I told Finn to keep you seated?" Olivia asked with a smirk.

"Yeah you did, but I wanted to come and see you to make sure you were okay" Amanda told her with a smile while she wrapped her arms around Olivia's neck. "So Sergeant, how does it feel?" Amanda asked as she leaned her forehead against Olivia's.

"Strange" Olivia whispered.

"Well what is that saying you said earlier?" Amanda asked pretending to think. "Oh right new place, a new start. Well Sergeant Benson, this is only part of our new beginning together." Amanda told her with a smile as she kissed her.

Olivia pulled back from the kiss and once again rested her forehead against Amanda's "You are right, and there is no one else I would rather start this new beginning with, I love you Detective Rollins." Olivia whispered.

"I love you too Sergeant Benson." Amanda told her with a smile "Okay Sergeant Benson is strange to say, but it does have a ring to it." Amanda whispered before she gave her girlfriend a loving deep passionate kiss.
