Chapter 14.
Dominick Carisi walked self-evident in the office of Olivia and closed the door behind him. He found her staring into the desktop without doing anything.
"I have brought you food. I was not sure what you wanted so I took a few different things." Dominick said, as he put the food in front of her and opened the bag, but she was faster as him and put her hand on the bag to close it and not let escape the smell from it.
"No, thank you. It's a nice gesture but I am not hungry." She said, as she sighed.
He frowned a eyebrow and tried to make out where the problem was laying.
"Are you okay or do you have any pain?" worry was evident in his voice.
"No, I am fine. Its just to much to swallow just about now. Do you have heard anything of Amanda?" It was now a few days after the last conversation. And today Amanda did not show up for work without a indication why.
He just shook his head "I am glad that you are fine." Dominick looked at her serious. Since he know about the pregnancy, he worried of her all the time. "I did not hear anything of Amanda, since we sat here in the office since we revealed to them the truth about our baby."
"I feel like as if we have lose her." she said as she was close to tears. This was exactly, what he feels to. He was worried that they both have lost her.
"Don't worry she will eventually come around." He hoped that he was right and that she just needed to process it. Sonny didn't want Olivia to worry any more. She didn't need more stress than what they had already been through.
If Dominick had his way, the only thing she should care about was the pregnancy and the baby growing inside her. He would like to keep everything else away from her.
He was worried that everything was about to change. As much as he loved Amanda, his baby would have his priority. And now adding to the twist was that he noticed that his feeling was slowly changing towards Liv.
He loved her deeply as a friend but he couldn't deny his newest attraction towards her. Dominick was not entirely sure. Maybe it was because she was carrying his child under her heart. Dominick was certain he would never act on it. As long as he didn't know what was going to happen between him and Amanda.
Olivia nodded as she drove a hand through her hair. "I am glad that there is no secret anymore. I am just excited to see how Noah will react to the news."
Dominick smiled. "I think he will be happy to be a big brother."

Lucy went to pick up Noah and brought him to the precinct. Olivia wanted to talk to Noah, with Dominick in her office.
"Hi Mom, Hi Sonny." he greeted them.
Olivia turned around and smiled to him. "Hi Sweet Boy. I just wanted to talk to you about something important." She said gently. She made a moving gesture to sit down beside her. He did as he was asked. When all sat around the table. Olivia didn't know where to begin. She wanted to explain everything as simply as possible for her son's sake. But as the words came out of her mouth. She didn't know if it made any sense. If explaining what was happening to her body and the baby inside of it would even make sense.
"I'm seven weeks and a few days pregnant..." Olivia trailed off, taking a shaky breath. Noah had a uncertain expression on his face. She looked at Noah. Olivia waited for him to say something but nothing came. Instead of speaking to her, Noah looked as if he was thinking about something important.
Olivia throw a fast look at Dominick, but even he was not sure what to say. In her belly, all the alarm bells are ringing. "Noah, what is wrong?" She asked as she tilted her head looking him straight in the eyes.
"Mom, is this some kind of revenge because I found my brother? My 'real' brother, so you thought you were getting a 'real' baby?"
There was the word 'real' out of his mouth again! What kind of family had they been since they had met his half-brother? She knew he was a child, but it still hurt. Olivia thought that Noah and she would have to have a talk about this soon.
Dominick's his eyes began to water as he watched the scene unfold before him. It was a typical reaction for a child of that age. Children were brutally honest.
Olivia her jaw drops. Hearing him say that felt like a slap to her face. "No, of course not, Noah! Even if I don't gave birth to you, I will always be your mother! No matter what happens. Nothing will change between us! We're team Benson, right?"
She looked into his eyes as tears began to burnt in hers, then she took his hand and squeezed it gently. "I'm glad you found your brother. This has nothing to do with you and Connor. I just never expected to get pregnant."
Noah nodded, "Does that mean I get to be a big brother?" he asked. Tilting his head to the side. He tried to ignore all the previous conversations about his mother being too old to give him a little brother or sister because he was too excited about it right now. He was so excited to tell Connor his brother about his new sibling.
"Yes, sweet boy. You're going to be a big brother..." Olivia trailed off. She was still uncertain about the whole situation.
"Is Elliot excited to be a dad again?" Noah asked innocently.
"Actually Noah, Elliot isn't the baby's father."
"Then who?" Noah asked, still completely confused. Olivia took a shaky breath, then decided to explain the night of the party as best she could.
"It's Sonny. Do you remember the night I went to the big party? I got all dressed up and came home the next morning?"
"Yeah..." Noah trailed off.
"That night, someone hurt me and Sonny. A bad woman put something bad in our drinks and made us do things we didn't want to do."
"I thought you slept at Aunt Amanda's?" Noah mused.
"I didn't, honey," Olivia glared.
"You lied to me, Mom? You told me that lying wasn't good and that I shouldn't lie," Noah huffed.
"I told the lie because I thought it was necessary," Olivia frowned as she struggled to keep her head above water in this situation.
"Mom... are you still lying to me?" Noah sniffled as he looked at his mother with tear-filled eyes.
"No, baby. I'm not."
Noah was silent for a while before finally speaking again.
"Aunt Amanda and Uncle Sonny are together." Noah looked at Dominick, and saw him nod. Then he looked back to his mother "Mom. You and Elliot... aren't you two dating or something? Mom-"
"Noah-"
"Did you two cheat?" Noah asked as he looked at the grown ups with confusion. Olivia was shocked because she hadn't realized that Noah knew what that kind of cheating was.
Olivia ran a hand through her hair and took a shaky breath. She was shortly looking at Sonny and saw that he had exactly the same expression on his face as her. She was already exhausted from telling everyone about her pregnancy and now she felt like sleeping for days...all thanks to this conversation.
"What happened was beyond our control. It happened because someone put something bad in our drinks, and we had no control over our bodies or our minds."
Noah didn't know what to say, so he just shut down. He rubbed his eyes with his fists and yawned.
The trio left Olivia's office and Fin turned to look at her. The tears on her cheeks made him realize that something big had happened, something that had completely drained Olivia. He watched as they walked out of the squad room, Olivia just mumbling goodbye before walking through the doors.
He wanted to know what had happened, but how could he ask her? He usually minded his own business, but now he was afraid that if he did, he might miss something big.
