Casey laid on her side as she gently played with Olivia's hair. They had just finished making out, and both women were silent and in deep thought. Olivia was shocked with herself, especially since she was certain that she was straight. But now that she had finally kissed a woman, and especially her friend and the woman she had already loved for years, in a different way, she knew she was bisexual.

"Have you always enjoyed kissing girls?" Olivia whispered as she reached out and gently ran her hand over Casey's hip.

"Oh yeah. My first kiss was a girl, and I have only dated girls. I have just hid it from you." Casey replied, as she gave Olivia a lazy smile. Olivia blushed a bit before leaning in and kissing Casey's lips softly. When she leaned back, Casey asked her a question.

"Now, have you always liked kissing girls? Because if you do too, then why haven't we done this sooner?" Casey laughed softly.

"I have never kissed a girl in my life, Case. I was certain that I was completely straight, but I don't know anymore. You... you are honestly better than Elliot." Olivia whispered. Casey grinned from ear to ear as she pulled Olivia tightly to her chest. 

"I love you so much, Liv. I hope you realize in what way now."

"I do, Casey. But I still need a little time to think through this all."

"I will wait, love." Casey breathed before kissing Olivia's cheek softly.

"Giving me time can wait until the morning. Tonight I wanna keep kissing you."

"I wanna keep kissing you too. I guess great minds think alike."

It took nearly six weeks before Olivia and Casey closed on their house and could move in. At this point, Casey had finally gotten her license to practice law in Arizona and Olivia was actively working on finding a new job that wasn't dangerous to do while pregnant. Olivia also was able to think through all of the confusing things that had happened, and Olivia accepted Casey's offer to start dating.

"Babe, you shouldn't be carrying that!" Casey exclaimed, when she saw her girlfriend walk into the house.

"It isn't even that heavy, Case." Olivia replied, as Casey took the surprisingly heavy box from Olivia.

"Such a liar." Casey sighed. Olivia follow Casey into the living room, and waited for her to sit the box down.

"I'm a cop, so I'm pretty strong. A box of books isn't going to hurt me."

"Okay, but what about our kid?" Casey mused, as she turned around and placed her hands against Olivia's swollen midsection.

"Our kid is perfect as usual."

"Liv, I worry. So please, be careful. I'll do all the heavy lifting, and you can put everything away. Deal?" Casey spoke softly, and Olivia nodded.

"I guess. Now, go get the rest of the books. I'll fill up this bookshelf." Olivia smiled, before leaning in and stealing a kiss.

Olivia worked on setting up the living room, as Casey and the movers brought the rest of the boxes in. At around six, they put away enough boxes so they could eat dinner and have an actual place to sit.

"I made the bed, but didn't get any of our clothes put away." Casey spoke, as she came back from the kitchen and passed her girlfriend a bottle of water.

"Thanks, baby. Before bed, we can put our clothes away. Or just find pajamas and do it this weekend." Olivia smiled.

"Or we don't need pajamas at all." Casey spoke with a wink. Olivia blushed a deep red, before shifting in her chair.

"Can I ask you something?" Olivia asked, as she sat her plate down.

"You can ask me anything."

"Would we have enough money to stay afloat if I didn't get a job until after the baby is born?" Olivia asked.

"Before we moved here, we were single women with pretty well paying jobs. I'm practicing now, so I really don't think it would be a problem if you wait. Has no one asked to see you for an interview, or would you rather wait and become a cop here?" Casey asked.

Olivia thought for a moment before shrugging.

"I don't know if I want to be a cop anymore. The NYPD really fucked me over, and I don't want that to happen again. I think I could get a different job, one that I might not die at."

"Then take your time, baby."

"Thanks, Case." Olivia smiled.

The couple got ready for bed that night, and Casey's phone rang. She quickly walked from the bathroom, before grabbing her phone.

"Casey Novak." She answered. She was hoping that maybe it was a new client.

"Casey!" Elliot exclaimed into the phone.

"Um, how'd you get my new number?" Casey asked nervously.

"You have it listed on your website. When the fuck did you move to Arizona?!" Elliot demanded. Casey sighed, as she sank down onto the bed and stared at the bathroom door.

"I moved down here after Olivia ran away. I couldn't stand working without my best friend, so I moved. I have some family down here, so I get to be near them." Casey lied.

"Is she there with you?" Elliot asked, his voice shaking with excitement. He was hoping that he had finally tracked down Olivia. If he did, he would get on a plane and fly to Arizona to get her.

"Elliot, she's gone. I didn't even hurt her, and she won't talk to me. If she contacts me, I may let you know. If not, leave me alone. I don't have time for you." Casey snapped.

"Casey, I miss her. I can't stop thinking about her, especially the fact that in a few weeks she'll find out what we are having. I want to be there for that, and I want to be there when our child is born. Please, if you hear anything, tell me."

"Are you still with Kathy?" Casey mused, as Olivia walked from the bathroom. Olivia stopped and stared at her girlfriend, confusion covering her face.

"Does it matter?"

"Yeah, because she doesn't want you to be around Liv."

"We are back in therapy and trying to be together. But-"

"But nothing. Goodbye." Casey spoke, before hanging up.

"Elliot?" Olivia asked, and Casey nodded.

"Yeah. He got my number from my website. I'll have to change it soon, once I get an office. Are you okay?"

"More than okay, baby. I get to sleep next to you, kiss you, and love you. That is way better than anything having to do with Elliot."

Hey guys, thanks for reading! Now, I need help. Or more so want it. Since everyone is super interested in this book, I'd like you all to help decide the name and sex of the baby. Please comment those below and I'll probably rank them in the next chapter and have y'all vote.

Thanks!
