Back with a new chapter. I planned on having the fertility consultation in this chapter, but the characters had a different plan, so it'll be in the next chapter. Enjoy!


Olivia's lips met his in a fiery, passionate kiss. She moaned and felt her back hit the bed as he flipped them. She broke the kiss and moaned. "Charles," she arched her back and clawed at his back. "My god yes!"

Charles smirked. He loved watching her come undone. "Yes what?"

Olivia was approaching the point of overdrive and she needed him inside her. Kissing just wasn't enough anymore. "Fuck me!"

Charles kissed her again and pushed inside her. They both moaned and he broke the kiss. "God you feel amazing," he whispered, moving to kiss her neck.

Olivia sighed and turned her head. "Oh, baby!"

Charles turned her head back. "Look at me."

Olivia looked into his eyes. "Baby," she whined and gripped his hair in her hand and wrapping her legs around his waist, meeting his hips with her own. "I'm so close."

Charles smirked, feeling her start to milk him. "Come on baby. Come for me."

Olivia let out a strangled moan and pulled him into a kiss, letting his mouth swallow her moans as she started coming undone, her orgasm starting to take over her body.

Charles grinned into the kiss, reaching between them and running her clit. He pulled away from the kiss and looked into her eyes as they fluttered open. "That's it baby. Just like that. Come on."

Olivia arched her back and cried out for him. "Charles!" Her orgasm hitting her hard and fast. She started to ride it out, when she felt him release inside her. "Oh, holy shit!" She sighed, his release spurring on another orgasm.

Charles brought them both down and rolled off of her, slipping out of her. "Oh baby," he whispered. "Oh, Livia, you're incredible."

Olivia was panting and she giggled. "That's you baby. You did all the work," she whispered and kissed him passionately.

Charles kissed her back and held her close. "I love you, Olivia."

Olivia smiled and curled up next to him. "I love you, Charles."

Charles reached over to his nightstand and turned the light off, settling back against the pillow. "Let's get some sleep. And we can call the fertility specialist in the morning, okay?"

Olivia nuzzled into him, wrapping the blankets around him. "Okay," she whispered and closed her eyes, quickly falling into a peaceful sleep.

Charles stroked her hair until he, too, fell asleep. He was the first one up the next morning and he stroked her hair as he scrolled through his phone. He felt her stir and he smiled. "Good morning, gorgeous."

Olivia smiled and kissed him gently. "Let's get Nicole and Noah ready and off to school and then we can call the fertility specialist. See what they say."

Charles tucked her hair behind her ear. "We still have time before the kids need to be up."

Olivia bit her bottom lip. "What do you have in mind?"

Charles smiled and kissed her softly. "I just want to kiss you."

Olivia straddled him and leaned in and kissed him lightly, so lightly their lips barely touched. "I think I can handle that," she said in a sultry voice against his lips.

Charles ran his hands up and down her back. "You're so, insanely, mind blowingly sexy."

Olivia grinned and kissed him passionately, moaning, feeling his hands running up and down her back. She broke the kiss and smiled. "You know, I love that your hands are so soft." She nuzzled his nose, her hands on either side of his head as she looked down at him.

Charles smiled. "Yeah?"

Olivia nodded. "You're the first man I've been with who has soft hands. Every man before you, since I was an adult, has had calloused hands. And sure they feel nice here and there, your hands being so soft is just… mm. Perfect."

Charles gripped her hips and rubbed her hip bones with his thumb. "Good, I'm glad."

Olivia closed her eyes and smiled. "Mm." She caressed his face and she kissed him again. "I love you Charles Brooks. And you are the last man I'm ever going to say that to."

Charles ran his hand up his back and to the back of her head, kissing him gently. "I love you too, Olivia Benson. And you are the last woman I'm ever going to say that to," he whispered. "The only woman for me."

Olivia went to respond but her alarm went off. She let her head fall so their foreheads were touching. "I guess our time to kiss is over," she whispered. "We should put clothes on."

Charles caressed her face and smiled. "I guess so," he whispered. "Come on, let's go." He helped her up and then got up himself. Both put on clothes and walked downstairs, seeing Nicole, Bianca, and Noah sitting at the breakfast nook eating cereal. "Well look who's up early."

Olivia smiled. "Bianca, sweetie, how are you feeling?"

Bianca shrugged a little. "I guess a little better. Still sick though. I just needed a change of scenery. Staring at my four walls in my bedroom was driving me crazy."

Charles smiled. "That's good sweetheart." He looked at Noah and Nicole. "Are you two ready for school today?"

Noah nodded. "Homework's all done, no permission slips need to be signed, I'm all dressed, just need to brush my teeth when I'm done with my cereal.

Nicole smiled. "What he said."

Olivia chuckled a bit. "Okay, you kids are wonderful." She looked up at Charles. "We have some pretty amazing kiddos."

Charles wrapped an arm around her waist. "Yes we do. We have the best kiddos." He kissed her temple and rested his forehead on her head.

Olivia smiled and rested her hand over his on her hip, nuzzling into him. "Mm. And I have an amazing husband. The best."

Charles smiled. "Right back at you." Once the kids finished their cereal, he watched Noah and Nicole run off to brush their teeth, leaving Bianca sitting at the nook. "Sweetheart we're going to call the school today and have your work sent over, okay?"

Olivia smiled. "Yes, that way you don't fall too far behind. I think between your dad and I we'll be able to figure out how to teach you what you need to know. And worst case scenario… Google." She chuckled. "And we'll make sure you get the rest you need too."

Bianca nodded. "Okay." She got off her stool and she looked at her father and step-mother. "Can I pick out a book and bring it to my room to read?"

Charles smiled. "Of course. You never have to ask for that. Just make sure the book is appropriate."

Bianca smiled. "I know, Dad. I'll probably re-read A Wrinkle in Time." She went to peruse the library and looked for a book to read, pulling one she'd never read out. "Goodbye Stranger, hmm." She walked into the kitchen with the book. "Is this one appropriate?"

Charles looked at the book. "Yes, it is. And it's really fitting for what you're going through now. I think you'll like it."

Olivia smiled. "How about you go get started on reading that and I'll make you some tea?"

Bianca smiled. "That sounds nice."

Olivia caressed her step daughter's face. "Honeysuckle or orange blossom?"

Bianca thought for a moment. "Surprise me."

Olivia chuckled a bit. "You got it, sweet girl." Bianca smiled and hugged Olivia and then walked up to her room, starting to read the book. Olivia started the electric tea kettle and smiled at Charles. "You're walking Nicole and Noah to school today?"

Charles moved up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her neck. He heard her let out a breathy moan. "You bet."

Olivia smiled and turned in his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. "When you get back we can call the specialist, see if we can do the consult via telemedicine. I don't want the nanny coming over to watch Bianca, I know they won't be sharing drinks or anything, but still, I don't want to put the nanny at risk of catching mono."

Charles nodded. "I agree." He rested his forehead against hers. "You really are such a good mom, Olivia."

Olivia smiled. "I just remember how badly mono sucks." She ran her hands over his chest. "I wouldn't wish it on anyone. And I feel so bad for Bianca." She noticed the electric kettle had boiled the water and she broke free from Charles's hold and started to steep the orange blossom tea.

Charles kissed the back of her neck, moving her hair out of the way first. "You know I never had mono."

Olivia smiled. "Consider yourself lucky." She turned to face Charles. "It ran rampant around my High School my Senior year."

Charles smiled. "Kissing boys your senior year?"

Olivia chuckled. "Actually I caught it from sharing a Tab with my friend, who got it from kissing boys." She kissed him softly. "Though I'm sure I gave it to a few boys by kissing them." She raised her eyebrow. "But none of them were good kissers. Especially not compared to my incredibly hot husband." She turned and took a mug of tea. "Let me bring this to Bianca, and you have to get Noah and Nicole to school."

Charles smirked. "Well, now to be fair they were in high school. They were still kids." He kissed her temple. "I'm not jealous of them. I'm not jealous of your past, because I know I have your present and your future."

Olivia smiled and kissed him softly. "Mm, you're my everything," she whispered and moved past him with the mug of tea. "Be right back." She walked upstairs to Bianca's room and knocked. "Sweetie, I have your tea." She heard Bianca call out for her to come in and she opened the door and set the tea down on her nightstand. "Orange blossom tea," she smiled and stroked her hair. "You doing okay?"

Bianca nodded. "I'm okay. Just reading."

Olivia smiled. "Okay. If you need anything let me or your dad know." She kissed her forehead. "You're still pretty warm, B."

Bianca nodded. "I figured. I feel pretty gross." She put the book down for a second and took a sip of tea. "Mm, the tea helps my throat though, thank you."

Olivia smiled and nodded. "You're welcome." She walked towards the door. "I'll be downstairs, holler if you need me." She saw Bianca nod and she walked out of the room, closing the door behind her. She walked downstairs to see Nicole and Noah putting their shoes on. "Give me hugs, kiddos!" She smiled and hugged them as they came over to give her a hug goodbye. "Have a good day at school my loves."

The kids waved goodbye and ran to the door, Charles walked over to her and kissed her slowly. She melted into him and let out a breath when he pulled away. "Be back soon," he whispered.

Olivia smiled. "Okay." She touched her lips and bit her bottom lip. "I love you."

Charles smiled. "I love you too." He walked over to the door. "Okay kiddos! Let's go!"

Olivia made herself a cup of black tea and sat in the library taking a deep breath. She took her phone out and called the fertility specialist. "Hi, my name is Olivia Benson. I need to set up a consultation with Dr. Jackson-Bey. Telehealth if possible. We have a daughter who's sick and we don't want to risk her spreading it to the nanny." She nodded. "Tomorrow at 2? Perfect. Thank you." She hung up and took a sip of her tea.

Charles walked back in the house about a half hour later just as Olivia was walking back into the kitchen to put her mug in the sink. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her from behind, taking her earlobe between his teeth. "I'm home."

Olivia leaned back against him and smiled. "I see that." She giggled and turned in his arms. "We have a telehealth appointment with the fertility specialist tomorrow at 2." She smiled and took his hand in hers. "We can talk to her about surrogacy. And egg donation."

Charles looked at her. "I thought you weren't in menopause yet?"

Olivia smiled. "I'm not, but at my age… they suggest a donor egg because my eggs could have chromosomal abnormalities that could lead to a whole host of issues. It's just better."

Charles caressed her face. "If you're okay with it."

Olivia let out a sigh. "Of course I want to have a child that's biologically mine, but if it means we can save ourselves the pain of having another anencephalic baby, or any host of other issues that could lead to fetal death or the death of the baby too soon after he or she is born… I'll be fine with an egg donor."

Charles kissed her temple. "We can always adopt, so neither one of us has a biological tie to the baby."

Olivia looked at him. "We'll keep all our options open, okay?"

Charles smiled. "Okay." He wrapped her tightly in his arms and held her close. He kissed her softly and slowly and ran his hands down to her ass and squeezed gently. He broke the kiss and smirked. "Have I mentioned lately how perfect your ass is?"
