So sorry for the confusion with uploading chapter 10 for some reason I was having issues with the site so my fault totally for trying to replace 10 with 11. Muchos gracias for your kind reviews. I wish too all the best for Olivia and baby so stay tuned. Did a lot of research on pregnancy, x-rays and meds in case anyone had a question. Wanted to stay true to the intent of the story plus I'm taking a segment of Olivia's accident from a real life happening.

The flashing reflector lights nearly blinded him, his adrenaline pumping into overdrive, his heart wanting to leap from his chest. Nick ran to her after recognizing the license plate. He pulled his shield from his belt loop shoving it forward.

"Nick Amaro from the 1-6…that's my partner! What the hell happened?" he said, pushing his way past emergency personal to get to Olivia, his eyes scanning the crash scene.

"Preliminary discussion says she was t-boned by the limo over there," the officer pointed. Nick took one look at the limo's front end then at Olivia. She was conscience but in shock. There was a bleeding gash on the left side of her head. Her hair was matted with blood that had streaked down the side of her face to her neck. They had a neck brace on her as she sat in her cruiser with shattered glass still in her lap and all around. The driver's side door had been pounded in shoving her to almost the middle of the bench seat. The airbag was deployed and showed stains of blood. Two paramedics were pulling her out carefully as Nick came to her.

"Olivia it's me, I'm right here you're going to be ok." He reached for her hand; she looked at him taking his hand, very visibly shaken. All the color seemed to have vanished from Nick's face.

"Nick." She cried to him.

"She's pregnant, two and half months."

"She told us detective. We don't see any physical signs of distress to the baby and she's only saying that her arm and knee hurt. The stabilizer is a precaution for possible whiplash. They'll do an ultrasound in the e-r and know more then." They moved her onto the stretcher and placed the oxygen tube around her head and into her nostrils. Nick gave his keys to a cop standing next to him. He glanced over at the fireman tending to the driver of the limo.

Another ambulance pulled up on site.

He never let go of Olivia's hand until they reached the transport then he let go climbing in after she was safely in. The e.m.t. rapped on the window separator alerting the driver they were ready for transport. She then applied a cuff to Olivia's upper right arm and punched in numbers to the portable. A small drip of sodium chloride was hooked up, she then tore off the plastic to the package that the needle came in and grabbed a latex band from her supply box.

"Alright Olivia I need you to mak-" Olivia knew the drill all too well and had already made a fist from watching her do the prep.

"That's it thanks." The e.m.t. added. Nick smiled at his partner touching her thigh.

Finding her vein was easy.

An iv line was now administering the fluid. Nick was not good at hiding his look of panic. Olivia's eyes opened and closed.

"We're almost there you're going to be ok." He said barely cracking a smile.

"My baby." Olivia moaned softly.

"They say the baby's fine no distress." Olivia didn't believe Nick and looked out of the corner of her eye to the e.m.t.

"He's right." Olivia winced in pain as the ambulance bounced over the city's street bumps. Her blood pressure measured 138/85, she was experiencing pre hypertension. The e.m.t. looked at Nick; he had his eyes glued to the monitor. He knew good readings meant 120/80 and below were stable pressures. His eyes grew wide with fear looking back to the e.m.t.

Arriving at the emergency room the paramedic gave the stats to the team of nurses and one doctor taking possession of Olivia. Nick alerted the captain and then followed the team into the exam room.

"Detective do you mind staying behind the curtain we need to examine her." Nick looked at his partner then stepped back behind the divider. Captain Don Cragen arrived within minutes. Nick noticed him and led him outside where they could talk in private.

"How is she?" Don noticed the heavy emotion behind his detective's eyes.

"They're examining her now they say there's no sign of distress to the baby. She may have whiplash, says her arm and knee hurt."

"Thank God it's only that. How did it happen?"

"Yeah." Nick puffed his cheeks out sighing looking back at the curtain knowing Olivia was lying there in pain and there was nothing he could do to lessen her pain. He said a prayer for her and their unborn baby.

"Nick." Nick turned his attention back to the captain.

"Uh limo driver t-boned her."

"Under the influence?"

"Don't know they didn't say anything about his b.a.c." Olivia had monitors taped to her chest and abdomen. There was some distress to the baby which is why her blood pressure spiked. As her pregnancy progressed she would most likely endure high blood pressure which is quite the norm with most all pregnant women, nothing that an ob-gyn keeps a close eye on though. The x-ray of her chest/abdomen showed nothing broken but the second x-ray did show a broken left arm and sprained knee. They stitched her head up, gave her Tylenol and prepped her for surgery to reset the broken arm. When the doctor came out of the room Nick practically jumped from his seat. Captain Don Cragen knew that detectives share a degree of closeness as he noticed for 12 years with his two aces Elliot and Olivia. Either Nick was a dedicated partner or there was something else he noted.

"The baby seems fine, he/she is one lucky little baby already showing signs of toughness like their mother. She has a broken arm and sprained knee; they're taking her upstairs now to the o-r. She should be out in a few hours."

"Broken arm?" Nick looked at the nurse.

"I'm a mother too detective and I would do anything to try and shield my unborn child if I saw what she saw coming at me." Captain Cragen put his arm on Nick's back giving him a reassuring pat.

She shielded our baby.

Nick took a deep breath barely managing a full smile. He knew if showed any more over the top emotion he would set off red flags. His Captain was no dummy. Fin, Amanda and Sergeant Munch joined Nick and the captain in the o-r waiting room. It seemed like more than the few hours of a wait for Nick.

"How is she?" Amanda asked with worry.

"She's in surgery having her broken arm set. A gash and a sprained knee but she's good to go." Cragen informed them.

"And the baby?"

"Baby's fine." The captain added. Munch and Fin breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Where are we with our carjacking rapist?" The captain asked.

"The first victim Emily Montigue, she's out of i.c.u, and-" Fin was about to elaborate on the 2nd victim but just then the doctor appeared. All eyes were on him. Nick stood approaching him as the others followed.

"She's in recovery now resting comfortably you go can go in anytime."

"Thanks doc." Don Cragen told him.

"It takes me having an accident for all of you to be here at once." Olivia said a bit weary coming out of the anesthesia.

"It's not every day we get two miracles." Her captain said. Olivia had offers from three of her colleagues to stay the night with her but she shooed them out after a while saying that she had a hospital full of certified nurses and degreed doctors who were only a call away. She wasn't a bit surprised when Nick returned in a half hour. Her eyes fluttered opened as he pressed his lips against hers.

"Hi." She said smiling.

"Hey baby and you too baby." He kissed her belly careful of the fetal monitor belt attached to her stomach. "I was so scared Liv." He stared at the bandage around her temple area then he picked up her hands bringing them to his lips.

"I know I was too." She told him. He smiled at her knowing what could have been.

"The other driver, are they ok?"

"That's just like you to be worried about others." Olivia cocked her head giving him a direct look.

"Twenty six year old kid just got his chauffer's license. He was stinking drunk, blood alcohol content…two points above the legal limit." Olivia closed her eyes at the news.

"Miracles really do come true." He said softly gazing at her.

"That I'm a 45 year old woman having her first baby and that we were spared tonight." Nick squeezed her hand a little tighter. Olivia blinked, her eyes were becoming moist. A tear pooled at the corner of her eye. Nick rose from his chair wiping it away bending over giving her a light peck on the lips.

"Yes." Their gaze was interrupted when they turned their heads at the sound of knocking and the door opening.

"Hi. Olivia said looking at the nurse with the portable vital machine." They watched her as she stuck a thermometer in Olivia's mouth and waited for the machine to beep. The nurse picked up Olivia's wrist timing her pulse. Olivia's blood pressure still ran a little high 127/75.

"Can I bring you anything, water, crackers, juice?"

"Water with no ice and can I have some hot tea?"

"Sure, how about some pudding?"

"No thanks, I never really liked pudding or jello growing up."

"You don't what you're missing with hospital jello." Her nurse snickered.

"I'll take my chances then." Olivia told her smiling.

"How about you daddy you need anything?" They both were startled at the nurse's addressing of Nick as the baby daddy.

"I'm her partner and no thanks I'm fine."

"Alright I'll be back in a few minutes."

"Thank you." She and Nick watched her leave looking at one another. Somehow the edge was becoming dangerously closer.

"That chair can't be comfortable."

"It'll do for tonight."

"Thanks for coming back but really you don't have to, I'll be fine. Nick really you should go." Olivia shifted her eyes to the door reminding him of what was just said.

"As Cragen would say it's not open for discussion."

Olivia was discharged two days later. Nick picked her up and brought her home. "You want to be out here or lay down in your room?"

"Out here's fine for now." He helped her get settled by propping her ace bandaged knee up on the ottoman, brought her a glass of water, opened the wrapped sandwich they picked up on the way home, Tylenol and the tv remote. This was all foreign to Olivia having someone wait on her, lavishing her with attention. It was influx of sorts, annoying but appreciative all at the same time.

"I wish I didn't have to go." Nick sat on the edge of the ottoman rubbing her calf.

"You can't let that son of a bitch rape another woman."

"We won't, Amanda said she'd be by later." He stood up bending over kissing her good bye. Their kisses were short but lingered. "I miss doing that."

"I miss you doing that too now scoot." Before he stood he kissed his fingers pressing them to her tummy.

Olivia went back to desk duty a week later and her baby bump was just starting to peak. She sported her first piece of maternity wear, a vivid blue V-neck sweater.

"Hey momma it's good to have you back." Fin said coming over to her with a sharpie in hand. Amanda gave her partner an eye roll.

"Yeah welcome back Liv." Amanda added.

"Welcome home Liv." Nick smiled.

"Really?" Olivia said watching Fin draw on her cast that covered half her hand all the way to her elbow.

He drew the upper part of a female cop complete with a hat and shield with her badge number 4015 on it and her last name above the shield. She looked at Nick and Amanda while Fin exercised his artistic talent.

She looked down admired his work when he was done.

"Thanks Fin, I would have never known…you as sketch artist, we don't need Fajida any longer." She cracked a sarcastic smile. The carjacking rapist had been caught and the unit was now working on two new cases.

"So what have I missed?"
