Olivia sat with Casey in the hospital as the doctor bandaged up her neck. Casey was on the table and Olivia was sitting on the chair next to her.
"I'll prescribe you some pain killers and disinfection cream. Put it on twice daily then put a bandage on it." The doctor told her. "Otherwise you should be fine and healed in a week or two."
"Is there going to be a scar?"
"There shouldn't be. The cut isn't deep so it should heal nicely and if there is, I can always prescribe something for scars."
Casey nodded. "Thanks."
The doctor nodded and turned around and left the room.
Olivia got up. "Want me to take you home?"
"I don't really want to be alone tonight." She smirked. "After all that."
"I can sleep over if you want." Olivia offered.
"Where's William going to sleep?"
"He will probably go the army base and spend the night there until the cops are done in our apartment."
Casey nodded. "Ok. Sounds good." She got off the table and grabbed William's hoodie that he let her borrow. She went out of the office and quickly spotted Adam sitting on the chair outside the room waiting.
Adam looked up and quickly got up. "Hey."
Casey looked up and down at him. He was in light blue jeans and a USMC gray t-shirt. "What did you go home and change?"
"Casey c'mon." Olivia whispered. She knew Casey was being harsh on him for earlier but she also didn't know he didn't have a home.
"Actually, I went with Sergeant to the base and got what was there." He answered as he put his hands behind his back.
Casey said nothing and walked past him. Olivia followed quickly. "Give him a break." Olivia whispered. "He is being nice. He saved your life, the least you could do is thank him."
Casey stopped, looked at her and then turned to look at Adam. "Thank you for shooting toward me."
Adam smiled. "You're welcome. I'll stop by and get you some Hello Kitty bandages for your neck." He turned around and walked away.
"What a jerk." Casey shook her head in anger and turned the other direction.
Olivia stood there confused. "Case…our car is over there." She told the young lawyer. Casey turned around again and stomped toward the exit. Olivia followed.
They went outside and found Adam trying to hail a taxi. "What the hell is he doing?" Casey asked bitterly.
"Getting a ride I'm guessing." Olivia answered. "Calm down." She walked toward the car. It started pouring rain. "Casey c'mon." Olivia quickly ran to the car and got in. Casey followed.
Olivia looked over at her. "What?" Casey asked.
"Why are you so mad at him? Look at him, he can't get a cab, he is soaking wet now, he came out here at five in the morning to check on you and you're giving him a hard time."
"You're so maternal when pregnant."
"Casey c'mon be nice. We're driving him back to the base." Olivia turned on the car and drove toward Adam. She stopped and opened the window. "Get in."
"No." He answered and stuck his hands in his pockets.
"You're going to catch a cold. Get in."
"No thank you."
"C'mon, you know there are no cabs running until six and you look like a wet puppy already. Get in. Please."
"Fine. But she better not bitch at me." He opened the back seat door and got in.
"I don't bitch." Casey corrected.
He stared at her. "I'm not even talking to you."
"Good."
"Fine."
Olivia looked at the two. "Like you're in high school, I swear." She shook her head.
They kept quiet for a while until Adam spoke up again. "Ms. Benson when are you do?"
"It's Olivia. And in about a month." She answered.
"What are you having Olivia?"
"A boy."
"Are you excited?"
"Yup"
"Any ideas on what you are going to name him?"
"We haven't really discussed it yet."
Adam nodded. "Are you guys planning to get married?"
"Um…I really don't know."
Casey looked over at him. "You ask too many questions."
"When your name is Olivia, then you can tell me that. Olivia am I annoying you?"
"Nope."
"See, she's enjoying bonding time Casey." Adam told her. "You're so anti-social."
"Shut up."
"Make me"
Olivia shook her head. "Guys, c'mon. It's five in the morning, the sun is about to come out, not the time to fight."
"Sorry ma'm." Adam stated.
"She's not old, don't call her ma'm." Casey snapped.
"I'll call her whatever my heart desires; some of us just have manners."
Casey scoffed and looked ahead. They all kept quiet until they got to the base. Olivia parked in front of the gates. There was already soldiers on the field training. William was in the crowd standing over some marines as they did sit ups and push ups.
"Damn, I'm late." Adam mumbled and quickly got out of the car. "Thank you Olivia. Hope you feel better Casey." He waved and quickly ran onto the field.
"Smith!" A higher ranking officer quickly yelled. "Who gave you permission to be off base?"
"Uh." Adam panicked.
William went over. "I did sir." He answered and quickly stood in formation with Adam.
"Reason?"
"Family emergency sir." William lied for him.
"Alright. Smith, get out there. Sergeant, go train your soldiers."
Both quickly saluted the captain and run out to the field.

Olivia laid on Casey's couch as Casey made food for them. Suddenly Olivia felt extremely pain across her stomach. "Oh my god" She instantly sat up. "Son of a bitch."
"You ok?" Casey looked over right away.
"It hurts. Badly." Olivia fell back on the couch from the agonizing pain.
Casey quickly went over. "Ok, let's go to the hospital, can you get up?"
"I can try." Olivia attempted and instantly laid back down. "Ow. No. Fuck!"
"Ok, ok. I'll call William. It's ok honey. Just breath." Casey took Olivia's hand and called William from her cellphone.
"Yes darling?"
Casey instantly raised an eyebrow realizing it was Adam's voice and not William.
"Put William on the phone."
"I can't, he isn't here."
"Go find him."
"I know where he is, he just can't get on his phone."
"Adam it's an emergency, Olivia is in pain."
"Casey he is on a chopper on the way to Washington. He left his phone with me because he isn't allowed to have it with him."
"Is there anyway I can get in touch with him?"
"You can't, I can. Look where is Olivia? I'll come over."
"No, you don't need to come over, just get William."
"Who is that?" Olivia asked. "Adam? Tell him to come over, Elliot is out of town for a case."
"Adam, come over to my apartment. 324 west Lexington, apartment 14." Casey hung up the phone. "William is in Washington, Adam will get in touch with him."
Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Casey quickly opened the door and was shocked with Adam standing there. "How the hell did you get here so fast?" She asked and looked at two men in uniform standing by the door that came with Adam.
"Military police car and a helicopter. You live a couple miles from the Marine base." He answered and went over to Olivia. "Where's the pain?"
"All over."
"Ok that's not good. You could have internal damage that can cause the baby to be suffocating if it's a blood problem."
"What are you a doctor?" Casey asked.
"Sort of." Adam answered. "Not official yet. I decided I rather help people then sniper shoot them in the head."
"Excuse me?" Olivia spoke up. "Go on a date later, pregnant lady in pain over here."
"Right, sorry." Adam nodded and took her hand. "Jensen, start the car. Garcia, you can take the chopper back." Both of the men by the door quickly left. "Can you walk?"
"No."
"Ok, can I pick you up? You're not going to kill me right?"
"No, go ahead." Olivia answered.
Adam put his arm under her back and under her knees. He picked her up and carried her out of the apartment. Casey followed. They went downstairs. There was an official military police car waiting. Adam carried her in the back seat and sat with her. Casey got in the front.
Jensen quickly turned on the siren and lights and quickly drove off. In a matter of minutes, they were in front of the hospital. "Casey go get a wheelchair." Adam ordered. Casey quickly got out and went to get a wheelchair. Adam picked up Olivia and carried her over to the hospital. He put Olivia down on the wheelchair and rolled her in.
_----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
William stood in front of his commanding officer trying not to lose his temper. "Sir, I'm really sorry but I have to go."
"You were sent here on official business Sergeant."
"I know sir, but my wife is pregnant and she's in pain."
"You aren't married."
"My girlfriend, whatever."
"Watch that attitude sergeant. Why aren't you married if you got her pregnant?"
"With all due respect sir, that isn't your business."
"You leave, I will write you up. You know damn well you aren't allowed to leave until the meeting is over."
"It's a family emergency sir."
The commanding officer got closer to him. "I don't give a fuck if you're mother was dying, you have a job to do." He whispered. "If you had responsibilities, you should have resigned from your position."
"So your son can take my job after one year of service? I earned my ranking and I'm not giving it up…sir." William whispered back.
The colonel came out of the office. "What's going on here?"
"Sir, my girlfriend is having pregnancy complications, do I have permission to leave Washington?"
The colonel glanced at the commanding officer. "You're from New York, correct Grant?"
"Yes sir."
"Take the chopper, get in touch with us when everything is settled at home so we can finish up this meeting."
"Thank you sir." William saluted the colonel and quickly ran down the hall.
_----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Olivia laid on the bed as she waited for the test results to come back. Adam and Casey sat by her in complete silence.
Adam's phone rang. "Smith." He got off the chair. "Ok, I'll let her know." He hung up the phone. "Sergeant is on his way over here. He is taking the chopper to the hospital, should be here in about twenty minutes or less."
"Thank god." Olivia breathed out. "This hurts so fucking bad."
The door opened and the doctor came in. "Olivia we need to do an emergency C-Section. The baby wants to come out"
"I'm not due until the end of this month."
"He have to do it or the baby could be in danger."
Olivia looked around. "Ok."
The doctor looked at Adam. "Are you the father?"
"Oh. No." Adam quickly shook his head. "The father is on his way."
"We can't wait." The doctor stated. "If you want, we can suit you up so you can go into the room with Olivia while we prep her."
Adam looked around. "Um…"
"I don't want to go alone." Olivia quickly spoke up. "I'm scared."
"What about Casey?" Adam spoke up.
"I can't stand the smell of the hospital, I think I might throw up any second." Casey scrunched up her nose.
"Ok, I'll go." Adam nodded. The doctor motioned for him to follow out of the room. Adam did.
A couple minutes later, nurses came in and rolled Olivia out of the room to prep her.
Adam took off his uniform jacket and only left on his t-shirt and pants as they pulled on scrubs on him.
_-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
William ran down the hospital hallway as fast as he could. He dodged people and almost fell a couple of times but didn't stop. He skid to a stop at the desk. "Olivia Benson." He panted.
"She's being prepped for surgery."
"Where? I'm the father."
"The father is already in there."
"No, that's Adam, that isn't the father. I'm the father. I have to be in there." He stated.
"I can't let you go in there." The nurse argued with him.
"Listen lady, I'm the father, you don't understand the hell I went through to get here on time. Now just fucking tell me where she is." He stated angrily.
"I can't."
"Casey, where's Casey? The redhead that was with Olivia."
"She's in the room."
"Which room?"
"214, but you can't go in there."
William quickly ran down the hall to find the room. He rushed into the room. He stopped seeing Casey making out with a young doctor. "Casey, tell them I'm the father, they won't let me in to see Olivia."
Casey quickly stopped kissing hearing William's voice. "Ok."
"Now, hurry."
Casey rushed out of the room. William glanced at the doctor and followed Casey down the hall. It was Casey's turn to argue with the front desk nurse.
_--------------------------------------------------------------------
Adam and Olivia looked at each other hearing Casey's voice practically yelling. "Go." Olivia told Adam.
Adam left the room and went to the front desk. "Hey, wow, what's going on?" He asked Casey.
"We're trying to tell her that Will is the father, she won't believe us."
Adam looked at the nurse. "He is." He started taking off the scrubs and handing them over to William. William said nothing and quickly put them on. He went to the room where Adam came out of.
"Baby, hey." Olivia whispered. She instantly took William's hand. "I'm so glad you're here."
"Me too." He gently hugged her. "Are you ok? What's going on?"
"They have to do an emergency C-Section."
"Is the baby ok?"
"I think so, they didn't tell me much."
"Ok, I'll talk to the doctor. It will be ok." He gave her a kiss.
The doctor came in and looked at William. "You're the father?"
"Yes." William nodded. "What exactly is going on?"
"The baby is having issues with being in the womb. It happens for premature babies, it's safer to do an early C-section, if you wait longer the baby could have breathing troubles which could lead to brain damage."
William nodded. "Ok."
"Ready?" The doctor asked.
Both nodded. They rolled Olivia out and William followed.
