October

Alex had been sound asleep until Olivia bumped her with her shoulder.

"Liv?" Alex opened an eye to see her lover tossing and turning. The blonde ran her fingers through the brunette's hair and gently woke her.

"What's wrong baby?"

Olivia frowned; she didn't want to wake anyone up. "I can't get comfortable."

The detective had been experiencing a fair amount of lower back pain. Sometimes, it was hard for her to sleep. "Do you want me to rub your back?"

Olivia shook her head. "It's not my back. I just have …" it was almost like the shakes. There was too much nervous energy inside, and Olivia wasn't even sure what it was that made her nervous in the first place.

Alex had another idea as to how to calm her down. She leaned forward, kissing Olivia on the hollow of her throat.

Olivia slowly leaned back onto the mattress. It was hard to think when sharp teeth sank into her shoulder.

"OH!"

Alex sucked on the tender flesh, moving her lips across the brunette's collarbone and down to her tender breasts.

"LEX!" Olivia hissed through clenched teeth, trying to not disturb a fast asleep Casey.

Alex liked how Olivia tried to stay quiet, especially when she was anything but.

Her fingers traced along Olivia's swollen belly down to the thick patch of curls between her legs.

"You're so wet for me," she said with a smirk as she curled her fingers forward.

Olivia bit her lip to keep from screaming. Her cheeks were bright read and her breathing labored.

Alex hummed as she sucked on her now sticky fingers. "You taste so good. I think I'll go for some more."

Hands clenched the sheets as the detective held on for dear life. Alex swirled her tongue around an engorged nub as she pumped two fingers in and out of her lover.

It didn't take long for Olivia to explode. She cried out before crashing into her pillow.

She was fast asleep.

"I like it when she wakes me up," Alex said to herself before she slipped out of bed. Now, she was getting some cake.

The following morning, Casey woke up first. She was in the mood for cake for breakfast.

And I can get some cake without Alex chastising me about my health. The doctor had told Casey her blood pressure was a little high. She attributed it to stress, but Alex thought it was all the junk food she ate.

She got to the counter and saw some of the cake was missing. Either Olivia had a midnight snack, and if she had one, she would have woken up Casey to share, or Alex had cake at like midnight.

That hypocrite … she knew Alex liked junk more than she let on.

Casey cut a large piece for breakfast. I dare her to say anything!

When Alex got up to make breakfast, she saw Casey polishing off chocolate cake.

"You're like a little girl in the candy store."

Casey grinned. "Pot … Kettle!"

Alex shook her head. "The doctor didn't say anything about my cholesterol."

"I'll take my chances."

Alex slipped her arms around Casey's waist. "We could go running together."

Casey waggled a brow. "I think there are better ways for us to burn calories."

Not wanting to wake up Olivia, the two went into the shower.

Olivia was slightly grumpy when she woke up. "You two had sex without me!" It was pretty obvious. Alex and Casey got out of the shower at the same time. Casey's cheeks were flushed and Alex had that bad girl grin on her face.

"We didn't want to wake you up Honey," Casey told her. "You were sleeping so peacefully."

"It's because I'm fat isn't it."

"What? You're not fat!" Casey glared at Alex, tell her she's not fat!

"You're more gorgeous every day. You know I can't keep my hands off you. I couldn't last night."

"You had sex without me too!" Casey complained. "It's bad enough you had cake without me."

"Cake," Olivia complained. "I didn't get any cake."

Before she knew it, Alex was in the doghouse.

Olivia had cake and ice cream for breakfast and Alex was forbidden from saying anything about it.

"This was a great idea," Casey commented as she had ice cream. "We're getting calcium right."

"And there's eggs in cake and chocolate comes from seed bean or something, so it's like a vegetable."

Alex shook her head but remained silent. Her lovers were crazy.

Two hours later, they were on their way to Olivia's doctor's appointment. Today, they were going to try to figure out the gender of their baby.

Olivia hoped they were having a girl. She was afraid that if she had a boy that he might look like her father or even worse act like him.

Her nerves just got worse and worse. Casey knew something was wrong when she helped Olivia out the car. The brunette was squeezing so hard that Casey could hardly feel her hand.

"Babe .. what's wrong?"

"I don't …" she didn't know if she could even say it. She felt terrible, giving up on a son before he was born. This made her no better than her own mother.

Casey kissed her cheek. "Everything will be okay. I'm sure our baby is perfectly healthy."

Olivia nodded weakly, and they all went inside.

Somehow, the View was always on in the waiting room.

"How do people watch this garbage?" Alex questioned, in a room full of women, all watching the View.

Casey shook her head. "I don't get how you didn't get beat up in high school."

"What do you mean?"

Casey didn't answer. Olivia knew exactly what she was talking about.

Eventually, Olivia got called to the back and they all came with her.

First, she got weighed. She was 145, having put on 10lbs since her pregnancy started.

"You're doing very well."

They took her blood pressure and measured her heart rate; it was all normal.

"You ready to see your baby," the ultrasound technician asked them.

The three women nodded.

The technician poured a cold gel on Olivia's belly and started to focus the imager.

Olivia didn't think she was breathing anymore. When he said, "congratulations. I see a healthy looking baby girl," she damn near fainted.

Alex smiled. "Just as you wanted. We're going to have a beautiful little princess."

Olivia was relived to hear that, but then she only felt worse for being relieved. What kind of mother doesn't want the son she hadn't even had yet?

After the appointment, they all had to get to work. Alex dropped off Olivia first and then she and Casey went to One Hogan.

While Olivia was gone, the three detectives were placing bets on what Olivia was having. Munch was sure she was having a girl. Elliot bet boy as did Fin.

"They already got three girls in that house. One more and it's a sorority," Fin told them.

When Benson came back, everyone wanted to know, but no one asked.

She could see them staring at her. "Is there something on my face?"

"How was the doctor?" Elliot asked, diplomatically.

"It was fine."

She went to work.

"That's it," Munch complained.

"Is there something you wanted to know?"

Elliot and Fin looked at Munch.

He rolled his eyes. "Do you know what you're having?"

"We're having a girl," Olivia told them.

Elliot and Fin groaned.

"Hah, pay me!" Munch declared.

"How much did you win?"

"$50!"

Fin and Elliot paid their debt.

Next would be bets on the delivery date and her weight.

Olivia was charging them 20% of the winnings. "If I have to suffer, I should at least get paid."

They decided to open the pool to other precincts. The lucky winner may very well make over $1000.

When Olivia came home, Casey had an exasperated look on her face.

"What is it Case?"

"Alex has lost her mind!"

The blonde was using a website to virtually design their baby's nursery.

"Again?" Olivia questioned.

Alex ignored the jab. "I just want our little princess to have it all."

"She does not need a gold plated little tub for you to bathe her in," Casey hissed.

"Should I go with solid gold instead?"

Olivia gasped. "I need some more cake for this."

Casey agreed. "Let's order some pizza while we're at it."

It would take a lot of food to survive Alex's exuberance.
