Oh, and one last thing, this story clearly says Alex is on top and in charge. You do realize that means Alex is the dominant one, right? Now, I'm done trying to explain my writing to everyone who doesn't get it. To the ones who do, this is the last A/N you'll get from me addressing this non-sense. If you enjoy it, great, if not, oh well.

1 Month Later

"You're going to have to tell him Liv. It's not going to be a secret much longer." She reached into the bowl of popcorn and accidentally brushed hands with Olivia. She noticed the brunette drew back and she let out a little sigh. They'd been sharing living space for just over a month and while she enjoyed the closeness they were sharing, she had to work hard to keep her libido in check.

Olivia, who was seemingly oblivious to Alex's frustration, sighed and rolled her head so she could see Alex's face. "I know." She moved the bowl of popcorn out of the way and turned her body so she was facing Alex on the couch. "But once I tell him, I have to tell the captain and then I'll be on desk duty. I'm not ready to give being in the field up yet."

Alex took hold of her hand. "I worry about you out there chasing people. I'm afraid you'll get hurt." She looked directly into Olivia's eyes. "That you'll lose the baby." Olivia was overcome with emotion and visibly choked up. "What's wrong?"

"Nobody's ever cared that much for me. Thank you." She moved to hug Alex and finally let her tears flow as the blonde cradled her and whispered to her.

Alex settled her on the couch with Olivia's head in her lap. She stroked the brunette's hair until she fell asleep. Taking the rare opportunity to study Olivia in sleep, she traced the lines around her mouth and wondered, not for the first time, what those lips would be like on her.

Turning off the TV, she roused Olivia and helped her to her feet. Half asleep, the brunette allowed the blonde to help her to her room. Alex tried to extract herself from the woman's grasp, but she wouldn't allow it.

"Please don't leave me."

"What?"

"I'm…I'm hormonal. I'm sorry, I shouldn't…"

Alex didn't give her time to finish her statement. "Come on. You can sleep with me tonight, but I'm sleeping in my own bed."

Alex left Olivia to get ready for bed as she went into her bathroom and tried to calm her racing heart. When she left the security of her bathroom, she found Olivia dead to the world wearing her t-shirt and she noticed her bra was haphazardly strewn across the bed.

Crawling into bed she was surprised when Olivia snuggled up to her. Feeling the woman's hardened nipples press into her was pure agony. She groaned and realized there would be no sleep tonight.

She awoke less than rested to find Olivia's hand cupping her breast. Sure Olivia was asleep; she shifted so she could see her face. She was surprised to find two brown eyes looking back at her.

"Don't get me wrong detective, having a beautiful woman fondle my breast is a nice way to wake up, but, well, why are you fondling my breast?"

Olivia stopped her movements but didn't remove her hand. "Do you really think I'm beautiful?"

"You know I do. Now, about your hand…." She picked up Olivia's hand and gently removed it from her breast.

"I'm sorry. I just…the only other breast I've ever touched beside my own is…."

"Mine?" Alex looked amused.

"And Casey's." Olivia looked preoccupied at the admission and missed Alex's scowl.

"What the fuck were you doing touching Casey's breast?" And did you fuck her?

"She was kissing me and then touching me so I touched her back." Alex scooted away from Olivia. "I was just trying to get some experience Alex."

"And? Did you?"

"Yeah, I did."

Alex was now resting against the headboard, arms crossed looking clearly pissed. She was trying to be rational but failing miserably.

"Well, how was it? Serena certainly hasn't had any complaints."

Olivia considered her answer carefully. "No complaints here either."

Alex got up and stomped into the bathroom. Before slamming the door behind her she looked at Olivia. "We need to get ready for work."

Lunch, 2 Days Later

"What's your problem Alex?"

"My problem? My problem is your girlfriend and her relationship with my…with Olivia."

"Oh? And what relationship would that be?"

"The relationship that required Casey to have her hand on Olivia's breast…." They were interrupted by Alex's cell phone. "Cabot. What? Where?" Alex snapped her phone shut and waved the waiter over. "I have to go. Olivia's been hurt."

"I'll come with you."

They arrived at St. Vincent's and found Elliot, Munch and Fin and Kurt Moss standing around in the ER waiting room.

"What happened?" Alex was looking at Elliot and her stare was intense.

"Uh, we were chasing a perp and she tripped and fell. Twisted her ankle."

"That's all?" Elliot nodded. "So she hasn't told you." Alex said the last part more to herself than anybody else.

"Told me what?"

"Aren't you the least bit curious why she'd come to the hospital for just a sprained ankle? Why she'd have you call me?" She looked at Kurt and continued, "Why she'd have you call…him?"

"Elliot didn't call me. One of my reporters picked up the call for officer down. When I heard Olvia's name I came and got here as they were wheeling her in." He shrugged.

They were interrupted by the doctor. "Is there a Kurt Moss here?"

"That's me."

The doctor motioned for him. "Is there an Alex Cabot?"

"That's me."

He did a double take when he realized 'Alex' was a woman. "Uh, she's asking for you."

Alex looked at the doctor and then Kurt. Unsure of what was going on she followed the doctor. She was surprised when Kurt did not follow her in to see Olivia.

"Alex?"

"I'm here Liv. What's going on?"

The brunette had tears in her eyes. "I have an STD. That's why they asked for Kurt."

"Uh, w-what STD do you have?"

Olivia sniffed. "Bacterial Vaginosis."

"You're sure you got this from Kurt? Isn't it just an over growth of bad bacteria in the vagina? I mean even women who aren't sexually active get BV, right?" She looked at the doctor.

"That's true. And it's more easily spread between female sex partners than male to female." He looked at Alex expectantly.

"Don't look at me! We've never…we're not…we are not sexually involved." She thought for a moment and cringed at what she was about to say. "Casey?"

"What about her?"

The doctor spoke up. "If this is another sex partner we really need to contact…him or her."

Alex took out her phone and began thumbing through the list of contacts. "I have her number…."

"There is no need to call Casey!" Olivia was now sitting up. "I never slept with her." She gave Alex an evil look.

Forgetting about the doctor Alex moved closer to Olivia. "You said you had no complaints."

"That doesn't mean I slept with her!" She looked at the doctor. "How long before the antibiotics work?"

"Four days and it should be pretty much cleared up. We'll want to monitor your baby's weight, but you should be fine. Ice the ankle today and stay off of it for a couple of days. Nothing stronger than Tylenol and you should be as good as new. "

Alex stopped the doctor. "What about Mr. Moss?"

"That's between Mr. Moss and his doctor. Now, if you'll excuse me."

Alex turned back to Olivia. "Liv…."

"I just want to go home Alex."

That night

Alex's home phone rang for the third time in 15 minutes. She sighed as she checked the caller ID and saw that it was Kurt Moss' number again. Between him and Elliot, she was seriously considering a restraining order. They had both shut their cell phones off after repeated calls by both men and as much as Alex would like to turn her home phone off. Work prohibited that.

Growing frustrated, she called Jim Steel at home and told him she was directing all calls to his number and that he could reach her via email, which she would check hourly until midnight. Her next call was to Elliot whom she told much the same thing to.

"What's going on with her Alex? I'm her partner and I have a right to know!"

"Then you'll have to ask her."

He threw back at her, "Any idea where I can reach her? It seems as though her phone has been turned off!"

"Be here tomorrow morning and I'll make sure you have access to get up here. And I'll make sure she talks to you."

Alex had put Olivia in her bed the night before, telling herself it was easier for her to care for the detective. She refused to admit to herself that she was worried about Olivia, scared for her and this was her way of making sure nothing happened to her.

Olivia had been reluctant to talking to Elliot, but after Alex told her either she talked to Elliot or Alex would, the brunette had relented and agreed to talk to him. She requested that Alex stay close by.

Alex ushered Elliot into the bedroom the next morning and ignored his raised eyebrow.

"Will you please tell me what's going on?"

"El…I'm pregnant. Kurt's the father and he wants nothing to do with the baby."

"Pregnant? Wow. That's great Liv! Wait a minute, why the hell didn't you tell me? You had no business out there chasing perps!" Realizing exactly what she'd said, he thought about Kurt Moss. "He can't do that Liv. He has a responsibility to this child. He can't just walk away." He considered what he'd just said. "Why'd he come to the hospital if he doesn't want anything to do with his baby?"

"Don't know. I haven't talked to him." She caught his scowl. "Don't Elliot."

Elliot looked around the room and then back at Olivia. "What's going on between you and Cabot?"

"Nothing."

"Bullshit. If nothing is going on, why did you ask me to call her yesterday at the hospital? And why are you in her bed instead of your bed right down the hall?"

Alex, who'd been listening at the door, stepped into the room. "Your partner is a grown woman detective and whoever's bed she decides to sleep in for whatever reason, is her business." She stood with her arms crossed, looking at Elliot. "She needs her rest."

"Liv?"

"Please Elliot. And tell Cragen I'll be in tomorrow morning, but don't tell him I'm pregnant. I want to be the one to do that."

He left the room, but motioned for Alex to join him.

"What are you doing to my partner?"

"Doing to your partner? I'm not 'doing' anything to your partner."

He got in her face. "I've heard the rumors about you. About you fucking Jim Steel, the night before you got engaged by the way, about your 'dalliances' into the lesbian world. I'm not going to let you play around with my partner's mind. If she's gay, fine. If she wants to sleep with all the women in Manhattan, fine. However, I won't let her be your next conquest. Got it?"

"Good day detective."

Alex turned to see Olivia propped against the wall in the hallway.

"Olivia…."

"Did you?" When Alex didn't answer, she hobbled not back down the hall into Alex;s room, but into her own room and shut the door.

"Fuck."
