September

Now that Olivia was past her first trimester, she was no longer able to work active duty, doctor's orders.

The poor detective tried to beg her way out of it, bribe her way out of it, and she even made miscellaneous threats, but it was no use.

"It's better for the baby," Alex reminded her.

Olivia pouted. She knew that, but the brunette had been a police officer since 1994. She didn't feel like a cop if she couldn't go out in the field. She was now just a "paper pushing bureaucrat."

Alex and Casey both took offense.

"You know what I mean! You two went to grad school and learned all that legal mumbo jumbo. I'm good at getting my hands dirty and kicking ass, not sitting behind a desk filling out Elliot's DD5's!"

Alex knew how much it sucked to be put out of a job. She kissed her lover's forehead "You'll be back in no time."

When Olivia announced her pregnancy to the squad, everyone had questions.

"Are you having a boy or a girl?" Elliot asked. He was having a boy. If Olivia had a boy too, that would be awesome.

"What's the surname going to be?" Munch wanted to know.

"Who's going to get stuck with Stabler?" Fin questioned.

He scowled. The others laughed.

"We won't know the gender for another 3-5 weeks. The baby will be a Benson and Fin, I'm sorry, you lost when Cragen drew straws."

He made a face.

"Just kidding, I have no idea who's stuck with Baldy."

"Oh that's low Liv!"

She only laughed.

It didn't take long for Olivia to get bored in the precinct. The boys would go off to catch the bad guys, and Olivia had DD5-s and a sore lower back.

"Damn this sucks." A slurp escaped her mouth as she sipped her milkshake. The baby wanted ice cream, mint chocolate chip to be precise.

Two hours later, the guys weren't back yet and she was hungry. She called Alex to see if the blonde could go out to lunch. She knew Casey was in court.

Ring! Ring!

"Cabot!"

"Alex, I'm bored get me out of here!"

Alex couldn't help but laugh. Olivia made it sound like she was being tortured. "I suppose I could get away for some lunch."

"Can it be pizza? The baby wants pizza!"

"It does? What about something healthier, like a kale salad?"

"Are you out of your mind?"

Alex knew that would make her give an outburst. "Pizza for the baby it is … but I'm ordering you a side salad for some nutrients."

Olivia made a face. "The baby hates salad!"

"It sounds like I'm feeding two babies and not one."

"Now that was harsh."

"I'll pick you up in 15."

Twenty minutes later, they were getting into the car and driving to Grimaldis. Alex couldn't help but grin when she saw Olivia hobble into the car.

"What has you so happy?"

"You look so hot pregnant!"

"Are you out of your mind? I look like a whale!"

"The sexiest seal of them all."

Olivia groaned. "Seriously!"

Alex laughed. "There's something perfect about a woman with a pregnant belly, especially when our baby is inside."

"For the baby's sake, I hope she's a girl."

"Why's that?"

"One boy and three mothers, that's asking for insanity."

Alex thought a boy would be just fine. "If anything, he'd be very good with women."

"Oh GOD! I don't want to be a grandmother before he's old enough to move out."

"Chase away all the girls with a shotgun. We'll have to if he looks like you."

"I'm hoping for a girl that looks like you."

Olivia was so happy the pizza came first. Maybe they forgot about the salad.

Less than five minutes later, however, it appeared, and Alex put a big helping of it on Olivia's plate.

"You just like to watch me suffer!" Olivia accused her as the blonde smirked.

"Now you caught on? Took you long enough."

"Your Mommy is pure evil," Olivia told the baby, "pure evil!"

Alex had no trouble with her salad. Sure it's not the most exciting food, but it's hardly liver and onions or something truly awful.

They brought the leftovers to Casey, who only had 15 minutes before she had to go back in there.

"I swear … if I get one more incompetent defense attorney who flunked evidence in law school …" She was sick of making the same objection ten + times and Petrovsky was sick of hearing it.

"They always think they can get away with it once."

"I wonder if I can get away with shoving my foot up his …" Casey lost her train of thought and went back to the pizza. She was hungrier than she was irritated.

"I can pick you up after court," Alex offered.

Casey shook her head. "I may as well come to your office. I have to go back to mine anyway."

At 5:15PM, Casey finally got out of the courthouse and was able to walk back to the office.

She let out a sigh of relief. She had gotten up early to prepare before court and she was tired.

I just want to get on Alex's couch and close my eyes. Casey dropped off her papers, grabbed some books for her to look over tonight and went over to Alex's office.

When she got there, she "awed," at the cutest sight. Olivia was fast asleep on the couch.

Desk duty sucks, but Olivia can leave by 5 every night. As soon as she hit the couch, she was out.

Alex had a picture on her phone. "She's too cute for me to wake her up.

They waited until the last possible moment, getting their work done and everything into the car before they roused Olivia from her sleep.

"It's time to go home."

Olivia's stomach growled. "I'm hungry."

The detective stretched out in the backseat, falling asleep again before they got back to the apartment.

"Making a baby must be exhausting," Casey commented as she watched Olivia sleep.

Alex couldn't be more grateful. She would happily give the brunette anything and everything she wanted.

They got to the garage and ti was time to wake up Olivia once more.

"We're here already?"

"Let's get you upstairs sleepyhead."

Alex opted to make something simple for dinner, pork chops and polenta with crispy Brussels sprouts.

Olivia purred as Casey rubbed her back. "Oh that's the spot!"

When it was time to eat, she attacked her plate like a hyena.

"Someone likes her food." Olivia hadn't said a word since they started eating. She hadn't taken a breath either.

"Sasquatch has been really hungry today."

"Sasquatch?" Casey questioned.

"The baby needs a nickname, and it's not like anyone knows if Sasquatch is male or female."

Alex had never thought of Sasquatch as a female, but anything's possible.

After dinner, the women opted for a relaxing bath in the Jacuzzi. The warm bubbles felt so good against Olivia's back.

"I could get used to this."

Alex kissed her shoulder blade. "You're absolutely amazing, you know that."

"Well … yeah I do."

"Modest much," Casey teased.

"I'd have to be amazing to hold onto the two of you. You both are sensational."

"And a flatterer at that."

The second trimester made Olivia sleepier, achier, and hungrier but … it also made her hornier.

"Why don't we take this to the bedroom?" A Cheshire grin appeared on her face.

"What an excellent idea."

The three ladies went on to have a very pleasurable evening before falling asleep between the sheets.
