1 Week Later

Olivia was just putting away her things to go to lunch when her cell rang. "Benson."

"Hey sexy woman. Instead of going out to lunch, how about we order room service and have desert at the same time?"

Olivia glanced around. "Alex, we can't keep having long lunches. The guys keep looking at me like I'm getting laid seven ways to Sunday!"

Alex laughed. "But you are getting laid seven ways to Sunday!" She heard Olivia draw in a breath. "Baby this last week has been incredible! I think I've had more sex in the last 7 days than I've had in the last 5 years!" Lowering her voice she continued, "Pretty please Liv? Pretty please with an Alex on top?" She heard the brunette inhale sharply and knew she'd won. "I'll pick you up."

"Alex, by the time you get here…"

"I'm around the corner."

"Pretty sure of yourself?"

"Hopeful. Now move it!"

2 Hours later

They had both finished dressing when Alex grabbed her and kissed her.

"Baby? Mother's Day is Sunday. I'd like to take you out for brunch if that's ok?"

Olivia teared up. "Damn hormones!" She kissed Alex. "I'd love that."

Mother's Day
Waldorf-Astoria

They were just about finished with their brunch when Kurt Moss approached them.

"Olivia…."

She glanced at Alex and then back at Kurt. "Kurt. What brings you here to a Mother's Day brunch?"

He shrugged. "Didn't realize it was for Mother's Day. Guy's gotta eat." He glanced at Alex and then back to Olivia. "You're big."

Alex, who'd been seething ever since she'd seen him approach, felt the need to defend Olivia. "She's not big; she's beautiful." For emphasis, she clasped Olivia's hand and smiled at her.

"Of course she is. I just meant…well, I haven't seen her in a while."

They were staring at each other, nostrils flaring. Olivia rolled her eyes and decided to step in.

"If either one of you starts pissing a circle around me, you're both in trouble!"

Alex flashed Kurt a purely predatory smile. "Don't worry baby; Kurt knows whose bed your in and going to stay in. Don't you Kurt?"
Ignoring Alex's jab, he kissed Olivia's hand and bid good-bye. Brunch all but ruined, they quickly paid their bill and left. Olivia let Alex know she was up for a short walk and they started in the direction of Central Park. An uncomfortable silence enveloped them and finally Alex turned to Olivia.

"I'm sorry. He just…he just gets under my skin." She looked away from Olivia and took a deep breath. Turning back around she looked into the brunette's eyes and smiled. "I'm just afraid you'll wake up one day and decide this isn't for you, that you want to be with the father of your baby." She shrugged.

"Alex! Sweetie, I'm sorry you feel that way. I wish I could put your mind at ease. And Alex, this is our baby, not just 'my' baby." Feeling bold, she stepped into Alex's personal space, grabbed her and kissed her. In public.

"Wow!" Alex kissed her back and then giggled. "Miss Benson, that is the very first time you have ever initiated intimate contact with me!"

Olivia blushed. "I've been waiting for the right time."

They walked on down the street holding hands. As they passed a jewelry store, Alex tugged on Olivia's hand and motioned her inside.

"Let's look at rings."

Alex nudged her over to the wedding band section and at Olivia's raised eyebrow she just shrugged. She watched Olivia closely and saw a spark of interest at one set of rings in particular.

"Do you like those?" Olivia nodded. "Do you like them a lot?"

"Yes. They're beautiful."

"Do you like the design enough to wear one of them for the rest of your life?"

"Alex?" She shook her head. "We can't…it isn't…"

"It is in Canada and Massachusetts." She moved into Olivia's personal space, grabbed her close and whispered, "Marry me Olivia Benson. Marry me next weekend in Toronto and then Boston. Be my partner, my wife, my red hot lover, the mother of my…our children." She bit her upper lip. "Please."

Olivia pulled away from the blonde. "Alex are you asking me this because you really want to get married or because you feel threatened by Kurt?"

Alex opened and closed her mouth before settling on an answer. "Liv I suppose Kurt helped prompted me into asking you today, but the truth is I've been thinking about it for a while." She shrugged. "Baby, I'm not asking you to marry me just to keep you locked up and away from Kurt; I'm asking you because I love you, have loved you for a very long time and it was you, your face and memory that got me through Witness Protection."

Olivia kissed her again. "Alex, I think I'd like to think about this. It's not that I don't love you enough to marry you; it's that my life is pretty crazy right now and I just want to think about it. I need to know we are on equal footing Alex."

Alex kissed her and nodded. "Ok. I think we should go home and discuss this further Liv. I made a few calls and found out some info that may help you make your decision. Or at least make you feel more at ease."

She handed Olivia her cup of tea and settled in next to her on the couch. "I talked with Trey. He's a bleeding heart liberal who works with an organization called that works to stop the exploitation of minors online. He'd like to talk to you about working with the organization for however long you'd like to take off after Riley's birth."

"Sawyer. I've moved out of the R's and into the S's." She took a sip of tea. "What would I be doing?"

"Sawyer?" Alex shook her head. "Ok. Uh, I guess the same type of things you were doing with the cyber crimes unit."

"It's a real job and not just one you asked your brother to create?"

Alex looked offended. "I wouldn't do that Olivia. One of the things I love about you is your independence. I don't want to do anything to change you. Yes, I want to take care of you, but not make you completely dependent on me. Just talk to my brother and see if that's anything you are interested in. Ok?"

"Ok." She leaned over and kissed Alex, eventually pushing her back into the couch. She hesitated before slipping her hand under Alex's shirt and stroking her belly. She eased off the couch and settled on her knees between Alex's legs. Looking up at the blonde she purred, "Mama needs some lovin'."

"Then let me take Mama and give her some." She started to get up, but Olivia pushed her back down.

"Mama needs some lovin'. And by Mama I mean you." She rubbed her hands up and down Alex's thighs. "It's your day too. You're a Mama as much as I am." Olivia cocked her head. "Unless you think you're getting out of diaper duty and 2 a.m. feedings?"

Alex drew in a shaky breath. "Not on your life Olivia. Not on your life."
She tugged on Alex's pants until the blonde lifted her hips. She slid the pants down Alex's thighs and carefully removed first the pants and then her thong, leaving the blonde exposed before her. Alex, unused to being on the receiving end, at least at first, began to fidget as Olivia simply looked at her.

She roughly pulled Alex to her and began to kiss her inner thighs. When she reached her center, she leaned forward and buried her face deep within Alex's nest of curls. She quickly found what she was looking for and hungrily began lapping at her girlfriend, finding the blonde's tight little nub.

"Oh God, Liv….oh….so….good."

Olivia, who still had some reservations about her ability to please Alex, smiled against her and began to hum on her clit, bringing Alex's thighs up off the couch."

"Fuck!" She reached down and grabbed Olivia by the hair, holding the other woman to her. Alex began to pant and moan and gasp as Olivia pushed into her harder and deeper. "Liv Please!"

Olivia pushed into her lover with new fervor and pulled Alex's clit between her lips and sucked hard one last time, causing Alex to fall over the edge. Licking her lips, she worked here way up the couch and kissed Alex.

"Good?" She asked tentatively.

Alex's response was to pull Olivia to her and kiss her again. "I love you."

Olivia made her way back into the squad room after having lunch with Trey, Alex's brother. She felt good about the opportunity he was offering her and that it was a bonafide job offer.

"How'd it go?"

She smiled at Elliot and nodded. "It's a good deal El. It's real and I could do some real good while taking care of my baby and still earning my own way."

Elliot smiled at her. "Good." He seemed to be choosing his words wisely. "Liv I know I haven't been a big fan of you and Cabot, but I have to admit she seems to really love you." He snorted. "And she's a hell of a lot better than Kurt."

Olivia smiled at him, knowing it'd cost him a lot to admit that. She walked over to him and messed up his hair. "Thanks for the approval…dad."

Before he could counter, the distinct sound of heels could be heard clacking down the hall.

"Liv? How'd it go?"

"Well hello to you too Alex." She grinned and pecked her on the cheek. Taking the blonde's hand, she pulled her into the interrogation room. As soon as the door was shut she turned to Alex and looked at her expectantly. "Kiss me."

Alex grinned and captured her girlfriend's lips. "Well?"

"It's a good deal Alex. I'm going to do it."

Alex hugged her. "So…"

"Yes."
"Yes?"

"Yes, I'll marry you. Yes, I'll marry you in Toronto this weekend."

"Do you want to invite the guys?"

Olivia shook her head. "No. This is private; just us." She smiled at Alex. "Unless you want to invite your brother and sister?"

"No, that's fine. It can just be us. We can do a bigger do in Boston if you want?"

Olivia nodded. "That works for me." The baby kicked and Alex rubbed Olivia's belly. "Sears agrees."

"Sears? The department store?"

"Guess that names out."
