Chapter 5
Olivia walks into her home that she shares with Alex, she smiles just at that thought. A home that she shares with Alex, her wife. Her thoughts are making her increasingly happy, and she has yet to lay eyes on her said wife. She finds Alex lying on the sofa, with her laptop in lap typing away. She notices that Alex had some earbuds in her ear, most likely listening to music from her computer.
Olivia leans over and gives Alex a kiss on the back of her head, causing Alex to jump. Olivia chuckles at it a little. Alex quickly takes off her earbuds and turns around. "Sorry, although maybe you shouldn't be using earbuds in the house. Never know when your wife may want to kiss you again." Olivia says.
Alex stands up and walks around the couch. Gives Olivia a proper kiss home, which causes the Detective to back the Counselor back up against the couch. "Missed you, how was work?" Alex says breaking away from the kiss.
'It was good, how was your day?" Olivia says looking over at her shoulder at the computer screen. "Do any shopping?" Olivia says.
"No, I was finishing some last minute paperwork," Alex says. "No really, how was work? How did the boys take your marital status?" Alex asks, she is wondering how the others got on with news that Olivia got married, and to a woman also."
"I didn't tell them, and no before you ask. I am not embarrassed nor regretting our decision. I just want to keep you to myself. I just got you, so there is no way I am going to share you." Olivia says holding on to Alex's waist.
Alex smiles at Olivia, "I feel the same way, it is one of the reasons why I did not tell anyone. For the record, I would never think that you are embarrassed by me. I know that you are one of my biggest defenders." Alex gives Olivia a light kiss.
"Okay, what do you want for dinner?" Olivia begins.
"No, no you worked all day, you are not cooking." Alex begins.
Olivia knowing where Alex keeps the take-out menus. "Ha, me cooking is equal to me picking something to have delivered. So what do you want for dinner? " Olivia says.
"I don't care surprised me," Alex says, she picks up her computer and went back to what she was doing on the computer. Olivia picked something and called it in. She heads over and sits down next to Alex, and lays her head on Alex's shoulder. Alex leans over and kisses the top of her head. Alex enjoyed this, even when Olivia and she were just friends, Olivia and Alex would spend the nights just like this. Alex on her computer and Olivia sitting next to on the couch watching TV. Nothing changed, except that she has the right to kiss Olivia anytime she wants.
"How do you feel about dogs?" Alex asks. She still has a memory of having a dog. Since she had one, she enjoyed it. What would like a dog, maybe even the same kind as Bella? She hoped Olivia would not mind having a dog.
"I don't mind, kind of always wanted one. Never had the time to take care of it. Do you think we would have the time? I mean my hours are kind of unpredictable." Olivia says, she would like a dog to come home to, an introduction to having a family of her own.
"Well, my job requires me to have stable hours at work, and we can hire a dog walker for when we are at work, and also a dog sitter. We can start looking at shelters this weekend. I know, for one thing, I want to rescue one, not buy one." Alex says looking up some shelters that were in their area.
"No, I agree, I don't want a puppy mill puppy, maybe a mutt or something," Olivia says looking over Alex's shoulder to look at the computer screen.
"How do you feel about pit bulls?" Alex question, she knows there is a stigma against them, however, she is a firm believer in the owners are to criminals, don't blame the dogs, they are just doing what they are trained to do.
"I never really thought about what kind of dog, but I don't mind. If you are questioning if I am against the breed altogether, the answer is I am not. I have seen the sweetest dogs out there, and I have also seen the mean ones, and they always reflect on how their owners are. So I don't mind a pit bull if that is what you want?" Olivia says.
"What about children? Have you ever consider the idea of having children?" Alex asked. She would love the opportunity to raise a child, especially with Olivia. Olivia turns to look at Alex, honestly, that was a curveball. They were just talking about puppies now children.
Olivia sighs, and Alex fears the worst. Olivia leans over and picks up her purse from the table behind the sofa. She proceeds to pull out a slip of paper and hand it over to Alex. Alex opens the document and reads that Olivia has applied for adoption, but unfortunately was turned down. She had even applied recently, so she knows the rejection is still fresh in Olivia's mind.
"Oh Liv, why have you never told me. I would have been your support system, and what about Elliot? I am sure Elliot and Kathy would also help out." Alex says.
"You weren't family, I would have asked if you could, but they were looking for family, preferably a spouse. Also, another factor was my job, hell it still might be a factor." Olivia says.
"Do you still want to adopt?" Alex asks, she also would like the opportunity to adopt. There are many children out in the system they could help.
"Yeah Al, one of my greatest dreams is to be a mother, and I hope I get that chance," Olivia says.
"Okay, we will start the process of adopting if you like?" Alex says hoping she says yes to that.
Olivia smiles, " I would like that a lot." Olivia then leans over and kisses her wife. Alex returns the kiss and pulls Olivia into her arms. They stayed like that until their food arrived, and then enjoyed a relaxing night in.
A/N: Okay guys I know I said that I would probably only update once a month, but a little inspiration kicked in, so I took advantage of it. I don't see this being a regular thing, so no promises. Hope you like this chapter. ~KD320
