*Rock on! Thank you all again and again for your fantastic reviews so just keep em comin cuz you all inspire me :D Hang onto to your seats cuz it's about to get bumpy here soon.

**In this chapter Nick calls his mother "bonita (beautiful) mamacita" and while some may think it means sexy hot momma it depends on who you are addressing. From a son to a mother it translates in Guatemala as little matriarch with big heart.

He picked his head up from the warm recess of her neck and kissed her softly. "That was amazing it just keeps getting better." Olivia gazed into his eyes, the smile no apparent as all the other times.

"If I didn't know any better I'd say you were preparing to leave now." Huh was the silent expression across his face. It didn't register with him. He honestly felt she was into it. He remained on top of her until she moved him off and scooted to her side of the bed. Nick sighed rolling onto his side.

"What's wrong now?"

"Where are you?" she said staring at the ceiling. He rolled back onto his side facing her.

"I'm right here, why?" She remained silent. "What is it Liv?"

"Nothing."

"It's something, otherwise you wouldn't be mad."

"I'm not mad it's just you've always made love to me not make a quick get-a-way." Now he was getting it.

"I'm sorry Liv I'm just keyed up with the divorce on hold and wishing it was already over."

"Is that all?" He froze at the question. His dual conscience was speaking to him again.

If I tell her Maria, Zara and I have been having dinner then she'll just blow it out of proportion saying I'm having mixed feelings about getting divorced. If I don't tell her, I'm not really holding back anything because nothing happened, it meant nothing, it was just a kiss and I'm not the one who initiated it.

"Yeah I'm sure."

"Ok." She cupped his chin then rolled over. Nick moved up behind her, his erection coming in contact with the small of her back. He kissed the top of her head and smoothed his hand down the still warm skin on her arm.

She patted his hand. When he awoke he looked at her alarm clock, it was 7:52. Olivia was not in the bed next to him. He heard her in the bathroom so he got up to check on her. She was bent over, her arms cradling the porcelain commode. He backed away retreating back to the bed where he sat on her side waiting. The faucet creaked and he listened to her banging her toothbrush on the sink and then in a few moments she appeared licking her lips.

"You going?"

"Not until I know you're ok. Are you ok?"

"You've never been pregnant before, this is all part of the joys." She said sarcastically. "I'll be fine I'm just going to crawl back in my bed and stay here all day." He moved over letting her get in on her side. Nick went around the bed crawling in beside her. He pulled her back against his body, kissing her temple, resting the side of his face against her cheek.

He saw Olivia approaching from his peripheral vision. Being pregnant suited her. She was wearing a beautiful purple blouse and her chestnut brown hair lay perfectly on her shoulders. Her make up always impeccable gave her that extra glow.

"Morning." Nick said.

"Morning." Olivia said.

"Hey Liv." Fin said.

"Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine for a rainy Monday." Munch said. She passed by him putting her purse in her bottom drawer, looked up at Nick catching him staring with a small smile on his lips. She lowered her eyebrows and shook her head at him signaling him to stop. Nick went back to whatever it was he was doing on his computer. Captain Cragen appeared with what looked like a small post it note.

"People it's only Monday and I haven't even had my first cup of coffee yet. Everyone turned their attention on the boss. "16 year old female at Belleview Emergency claims she's been raped by someone she met online. Who's up?" Munch and Amanda spoke over one another.

"Nick and I will go Cap'n."

"Fin and I can take it."

"Amaro you and Munch take this." Nick rose followed by Munch. "Her name is Karen Emkes. Tread lightly on this one she's the daughter of the deputy Mayor. Fin you always have that intimidating way with grown men stalking under age females. You and Rollins pay a visit to the Side Street Café where she last logged in."

"70 million people on the internet everyone is a suspect." Munch said patting Fin's shoulder on his way out.

"There he goes on his conspiracy kick again." Fin retorted.

Munch and Amaro returned with the victim. "I still say we need to press her father." Nick said tossing his jacket onto the back of the chair looking frustrated.

"Nick do you hear yourself? So her father looks at porn, its adult porn…it's legal and he has no priors."

"Does his wife know? I bet the Mayor's office wouldn't want that to come out. And after the tech guy gets here and after we see those crypted pictures on her computer you're going to buy me a steak dinner." Nick looked at his partner who was engrossed in the exchange between her partner and the Sergeant. "She's protecting her rapist!" Nick added.

"The captain said we tread lightly." Munch laid a heavy hand on his shoulder sinking Nick a little deeper as he reclined with his hands behind his head. He and Olivia locked eyes.

"Let me have a go at her."

"Be my guest." He told her.

"Hi Karen I'm Olivia, how are you?"

"Fine." Karen was obviously nervous chewing on the cuffs of her sweatshirt sobbing.

"We read some of things this guy emailed you. He's a predator Karen why are you protecting him?"

"I'm not protecting him."

"It sure sounds like it. He really didn't take you to that parking lot. You made that part up."

"Yes."

"Listen its ok we just need you to tell us what really happened. Karen, look at me even though he didn't use force he took advantage of you. We can charge him with statutory rape and those cases are taken very seriously now a days."

"Can he go to jail?"

"Yes he could."

"What have I done? I never met a guy online. I was just joking around with my boyfriend. I told him if he didn't stop I was going to say he raped me.

"What!" Nick said from his position against the door coming over to the round table. Olivia gestured to him to take it down a notch. Just then Captain Cragen opened the door to the room.

"Nick, Olivia a moment please." They followed the captain out.

"Karen's online buddy just emailed pictures of himself to another girl." Cragen said pointing to the screen.

"His face is blacked out." Munch said.

"How old is that girl?" Nick asked teeth clenched. After digging deeper on the Deputy Mayor's husband Nick found out he had an airtight alibi and all his internet porn surfing was legal. His wife being in the high position she was in requested that this be discreetly taken care of. The team was coming up empty with leads because their stalker was using a fictitious name online he café internet hoped hoping to throw the SVU team off his trail. Day three TARU finally came up with a phone number. When Nick heard the number he recognized it as Karen's boyfriend. They brought the boyfriend in and grilled him.

"He rented the basement from my parents I had no idea he was using our phone line or the basement to run his kiddie porn operation." In the end the team set up a sting luring him in and catching the husband of the Deputy Mayor. It was a reporter's dream taking picture after picture of the husband of a high profile New York City Government official doing the perp walk.

"Nice work, feel good getting off ass duty?" Nick teased her.

"Yeah go after more internet stalkers." She smiled.

"Ok Nick I'm good for that steak dinner."

"How about we all go out and celebrate? Total team effort."

"If Munch is paying then I want a $50.00 dollar steak." Fin chuckled.

"Detective Tutuola I'm an underpaid Sergeant with the NYPD and my credit cards are maxed perhaps we go to an early bird buffet."

"Add el cheapo after conspiracy nut to your resume."

The team enjoyed a night out together and a good dinner and Munch didn't have to treat after all. The Captain was invited but had to decline due to an AA meeting. As they left the restaurant Sergeant Munch placed his hand on Nick's shoulder.

"I gotta hand it you new guy you really do have the keen eye for this job."

"Thanks Munch but I'm not the new guy anymore." Nick told him smiling. Munch looked down his nose at the young detective.

"With your sense and sensibility you'll always be new to me with today's technology." The two men shook hands before parting ways. Olivia had already taken off in her cruiser when Nick looked around for her. Fin and Amanda were gone too.

"Give you a lift?"

"Thanks my young friend but I have an important person to check in on close by." The both turned their heads in the direction of the blaring sirens two blocks up.

"That's not good." Nick said. "Alright see you tomorrow." Munch tipped his hat and walked on and Nick walked across the street into the parking garage.

Nick had only been a few miles up the road on his way to Olivia's when he came upon a barrage of flashing lights. He flipped on the grill lights on and threw it in park. As he got closer he gasped for air as he came up on the accident. He knew that license plate anywhere, and he never expected to see such a horrific site as her punched in brown cruiser.

"Olivia!"
