Liv looked up at Nick as he closed her door behind him, her eyes showed disappointment and anger. She ignored him and continued to polish her toenails.

Nick dropped Noah's bag on the sofa beside Liv and walked to the little guy's room and laid the sleeping boy in his crib. He kissed Noah's little face and pulled the blanket over him. He left the low light on and shut the door quietly.

He sat in the chair across from Liv and avoided her glare. Nick was trying to remember what he wanted to say to her but his mind had gone blank.

Liv sat on the sofa and ignored him. She flipped aimlessly through a magazine. Minutes passed and he still didn't say anything. She went to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of wine, gulped it down, and poured another. She stole a look at Nick; he sat in her chair with his head in his hands. For a brief moment she wanted to go over to him, comfort him and his worries but then the memory of him with Amanda came back in flashes; the look on his face, his heavy breathing, his hand entangled in the blonde mass of hair in his lap, the shock of reality on his face, the face of the startled female detective, his dick in her hands, the blonde wiping her mouth. She felt her stomach churn, anger flared up again.

"What do you want Nick?" She said sternly.

"Liv, I'm sorry." He whispered without meeting her eyes.

She crossed her arms, "What are you sorry about?" She stood and waited for him to say something but he only shook his head. "I can't do this right now." She whispered and flipped the light switch off. She picked up the toys that were strewn around the living room and tossed them into a toy box.

"Liv…please!" He started.

"You can't even look at me." She yelled at him.

Nick could hear the hurt in her voice, he moved closer to her, "I wanted to tell you sooner…" He finally looked at her. "I'm sorry."

"Tell me what Nick?" She yelled. "Tell me you were messing around with Amanda? Tell me you were lying to me? Tell me to ease up on her because she sucks your dick? What exactly did you want to tell me?"

"Liv…" Nick searched for the right words to say.

"Of all the women in New York you had to fuck with her? I'm sure you could have found someone else!"

Nick stood up and walked towards Liv, "Olivia, please."

"No, Nick! Don't please me! You're an asshole! How long have you kept this from me?" She punched his chest and pushed him away from her. "I trusted you!" She hit his chest again.

"Stop! Settle down!" He grabbed her hands in his and held them to prevent her from hitting him. She fought him and tried to hit his chest again. "Olivia! Sit down and let me talk!" he yelled back at her. Tears rolled down her cheeks but she let him sit her down and he sat next to her.

"Liv, I'm sorry about the way you found out. We shouldn't have been doing that at work, it's something that just happened. She walked in and I was changing shirts then it just happened. I'm sorry, please don't hate me…"

"That's bull! Tell me how changing your shirt turns into her mouth on your dick?!" She shoved him hard wanting him away from her but he didn't budge.

"You can be mad, hit me, push me or whatever but I'm not leaving here until we talk about this! I won't let you push me away!" He squeezed her shoulder.

Olivia slumped back onto the sofa, cried softly for a few moments. She swatted Nick's hand from her shouler and pushed him away again. They sat there in silence for a long time. Nick wasn't going to leave, he knew how stubborn Liv could be but he was going to wait her out.

Finally, after calming down some she asked, "Was this the first time or has to been going on?"

"…It's been going on."

"How long?" her voice was stern again.

"About a month and a half, two months maybe." He figured it was best to be honest, he wasn't into lying and he wasn't too fond of "Angry Liv".

"When did it happen?" She asked her voice a little softer.

"It happened the weekend when she and Carisi went to my cabin…" Liv closed her eyes and nodded her head again. "It wasn't planned…I didn't go there with the intentions of getting into her pants. We all drank too much and we got caught up…Liv I wanted to tell you the morning after it happened. But what was I going to say? How am I supposed to tell you I had sex with another detective in our unit, one that you don't like?"

"I knew something happened with you two up there…you came back on her side. But when you asked me to ease up on her I knew for certain that you liked her or had something going on with her." She spoke more to herself than to him.

"I should have said something sooner; I just wasn't too sure on what it was that I was doing with her. I was waiting until we figured it out. I fucked up, bad. I know I did. There has to be a way I can make this better? How can I fix this so you will trust me again?"

Olivia looked at Nick and she could see he was genuinely torn up about this. How can I be upset with this man? He's a good man and he deserves a good woman. He's helping me raise my son and he has no obligation to, he does it because he loves Noah. He does it because he loves me too. He deserves happiness even if it is with Amanda.

"Nick there's nothing you have to do-"

"Liv don't say that." He slipped off the sofa onto his knees, grabbed her hands in his and pleaded with tears in his eyes. "You have to forgive me, please!"

"Nick, let me finish. There's nothing you have to do because you haven't broken my trust. I'm upset and yes, I'm hurt, but we can get through this." She leaned into his body and he met hers with a hug. He squeezed her hard and kissed her hair.

"I don't ever want to hurt you again, you're my best friend." He continued to hold onto her tightly.

"I have to ask…do you love her?" She looked at him with teary eyes.

"Yes."

"Does she know?" she asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yes, I told her last night."

"Does she love you?"

"Yes, we're…" he paused and smiled at his realization, "We're in love."

"I will get over this…as long as you're happy, I'm happy for you. I'm going to need time to get used to this…I guess, if you two are in love that means I have to let her in our circle…I have to learn to share you. That's not going to be easy…wait, does she know that if she dates you then she's dating me and our kids too?"

They laughed as he wiped the tears from her eyes, "Yes, she knows. She needs time to get used to it too. We talked last night and she understands how close we are and how close we are to each other's children…she doesn't love the idea but she's willing to try."

"I love you, Uncle Nick" she smiled at him.

"I love you, Aunt Liv" he smiled back at her.

"Let's hug it out." Liv laughed as they hugged. "I'm glad we have each other."

"Me too."

"How was Noah for you?" They sat and talked about Noah's afternoon. Eventually the conversation turned towards Nick and Amanda, Nick let Liv ask her endless questions and answered the best he could. Liv got annoyed a few times because of his lack of detail. Sensing her annoyance, he changed the subject.

"Amanda has plans with her friends Friday night; can I come over and hang with you guys?" Nick asked.

"You don't want to go out with her friends?"

"No." he shook his head.

"Why? Are they annoying?"

"They can be. I'm tired of playing 20 questions. Friday night there's no talking allowed." He joked.

"I never said you could come over." Liv laughed and punched his arm. "Go out with her, don't be a dud!"

"A dud? Why don't you go with Amanda and let her friends throw themselves at you. Noah and I will have a guy's night and get drunk on whole milk and piss at cheerios in the toilet!"

When he left Olivia's apartment he called Amanda, Nick wanted to go over and hold her in his arms until she fell asleep.

After a few rings she picked up, "Hello? Nick?" she sounded groggy.

"Hey baby, are you awake? I miss you."

"Yeah I'm in bed already. I miss you too, I fell asleep waiting for your call. Everything okay?"

"Everything is fine. I'm on my way."

"Hurry up and get here." Amanda hit the end call button and tossed her phone on the night stand. She turned over and fell back to sleep.

After the 30 minute drive, Nick let himself inside Amanda's apartment. Frannie leapt off Amanda's bed and jumped at Nick with excitement, "Hey girl!" He whispered and let her lick his face. She followed him to the bedroom and jumped on the bed with excitement. "Shhh, go back to sleep." He said trying to quiet the dog before Amanda woke up.

Nick undressed and crawled into bed next to Amanda, he wrapped his arms around her. He felt content to have her back in his arms after a long day.

She stirred in her sleep as she felt him against her. "You took a long time…" she whined and curled closer to his body.

"I'm sorry, baby." He kissed her forehead.

"How did it go? Is she okay?" Amanda looked at him with sleepy eyes.

"It was rough, but she's okay now. Go back to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Nick was exhausted and completely talked out.

"I'm glad you're here now." She met his lips as he gave her several small kisses. She felt relief to finally be in his arms again. "I love you."

"I love you." He inhaled her hair and drifted off to sleep beside her.

The next morning Amanda woke up still in Nick's arms; she rubbed the length of his arm and kissed his hand. She felt him stir and moan into her ear. He squeezed her tightly and pushed his hips into her ass.

"Nick…" she giggled and tried to wiggle away from him.

"What?" He laughed and pulled her back to him. He slid his hand down the back of her panties and squeezed her cheeks in his large hand.

"What are you doing?" she looked back at him over her shoulder with a flirty smile.

He slid his hand over to the front of her panties, Amanda spread her legs slightly to allow him room, and he slipped his fingers into her slit and pushed his hard on into her ass again. "I'm trying to do you…" he attacked her neck with his teeth and lightly bit at her neck and ear; he kissed and sucked at her neck. Feeling her moisten up he rubbed his middle finger against her clit until she let out soft moans, Nick surprised her by sliding his fingers into her. Amanda held tightly onto his forearm as her body began grinding into his hand. Nick leaned further onto her and Amanda turned her head to meet his kiss, she let him take control of the kiss as he attacked her mouth with his tongue hungrily. He smoothly pulled down her panties and entered her from behind with small thrusts until he was fully inside her. Nick lifted up her leg for better access and quickly thrust himself into her.

"You're so wet, baby." He grunted and continued to finger her clit while his dick invaded her pussy. He woke up feeling overly horny and was dying to cum inside her warm, wet pussy.

"Nick…I'm gonna…cum…ohhh…shit! Give me Jesus!" she cried out.

"Yeah…you feel Jesus?" He began pounding into her faster and harder.

"I feel him, yes! I feel Jesus!...Aww…Nick…Nick" she screamed out his name between breathless pants. Nick felt her shake and whimper and took that as his cue to shoot off inside her. He slowly continued to thrust into her to allow her to ride out her orgasm as he released his juices into her.

Once they both came down from their high, he pulled out of her, she turned over and ran her fingers through his hair, "Damn Detective, we need to wake up like this every morning" she gushed to him.

Nick got up from the bed and slapped her ass, "Get ready, we're already late for work."

They drove to work in a comfortable silence. Nick pulled into the precinct parking lot and turned the engine off. He opened his door but stopped when he felt Amanda grab his hand, he turned back to look at her. "You okay?"

"I have to tell Fin…" she said with nervousness.

"Everything will be okay. But just in case… let me kiss you one last time before he kills me."

They kissed softly and slowly until both felt ready to get out and face the harsh world they worked in.

Is this a good ending or should I continue with more?
