She sat on the edge of a hard hospital chair, her leg bouncing as waves of anxiety took her over. She couldn't help but feel guilty for causing Amanda to faint. Their argument had gotten more heated than expected, but she didn't want her to faint. For her to get hurt. On the ride to the hospital, all she could think about was how she could make this up to Amanda. Maybe she wouldn't write Amanda up for insubordination and acting irresponsibly. 

"Hey! What happened?" Nick asked, as he raced into ER. Olivia stood up and met him halfway. 

"Amanda and I got into a fight and she fainted in my office... I had to call for an ambulance, and they won't tell me a damn thing!" Olivia exclaimed. Nick looked her over for a moment, noticing the worry and pain on her face, before wrapping her body in a tight hug.

"We will get some information soon, Liv. I promise," Nick mumbled.

They parted after a few long moments before walking to the nurse's station. The nurse looked up once again, but she didn't frown and shake her head when Olivia asked for information on her detective.

"You have news, don't you?" Olivia asked, and she nodded.

"Ms. Rollins is awake. We are admitting her for the night to monitor her. If you'd like, take the D elevator to the fifth floor. Once there, look for room 508."

"Thank you so much," Olivia breathed, as tears threatened to slip down her cheeks.

Nick stopped Olivia before they could walk to the elevator. He held her arms and smiled at her.

"See, I told you we'd get information soon," He grinned. Olivia took a slow breath and nodded.

"I just hope she's okay."

Olivia sent Nick in first, since she was assuming Amanda was pissed off at her. She probably remembered the fight and blamed her for whatever caused her to faint. However, Nick was only in Amanda's room for five minutes before he came out and told Olivia that Amanda wanted her.

"Hey, Rollins," Olivia breathed quietly as she entered the room. Amanda turned to her and forced a smile.

"Liv."

"Uh, about earlier-"

"Nick told me what you think... You aren't the one to blame. Declan is," Amanda replied.

Olivia eyed her in confusion before sinking down on a chair beside her bed.

"Declan Murphy? How is he to blame? I don't even know where the hell he is."

Amanda sighed softly before speaking again.

"He knocked me up, Liv. I fainted because I'm pregnant, and have been for about six weeks."

Olivia's eyes went wide, her jaw dropping in shock.

"Liv-"

"I didn't even know you two were-"

"We aren't together, Liv. We slept together once and then I ended up pregnant. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you, but I didn't know until I woke up," Amanda frowned.

Olivia nodded weakly but didn't respond. This was too surprising, and she almost felt more guilty now. Not only did Amanda faint while fighting with her and could have gotten seriously hurt, but the baby could have, too. 

"Am I getting suspended or-"

"No, you aren't. I should write you up, but I feel like having to stay the night in a hospital is enough of a punishment... God, Amanda. You scared the crap out of me!" 

Amanda frowned and reached her hand out to Olivia. Olivia grabbed it hesitantly and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"I guess that was your punishment for yelling at me," she breathed, a mischievous yet tired smile on her lips.

Olivia shook her head and rolled her eyes.

"Thanks, Detective."

Olivia left Fin in charge the next morning so she could sit with Amanda. Once she arrived at the hospital, she found that Amanda was in her attached bathroom. Olivia went to sit down and wait, but instead, she walked to the bathroom and shoved the door open with her boot. Amanda was kneeling next to the toilet as she heaved painfully into it.

"Rollins," Olivia frowned, as she moved closer and pulled her blonde locks away from her face. One hand held Amanda's hair, while the other rubbed gentle circles into her back.

"I-I'm sorry, Liv. This has gotta be disgusting," Amanda panted.

"It's okay. Just try to relax," Olivia replied gently.

"First, I faint, then I get sick... what next?" Amanda grumbled. She heaved again, but nothing came up. Olivia stepped away and went into Amanda's room. She found a half empty glass of water and brought it back.

She held it to Amanda's lips and helped her sip from it until she stopped dry heaving.

"Thank you," Amanda mumbled, as she stood on weak legs.

"No need to thank me. It's what friends do," Olivia replied. She wrapped an arm around Amanda and led her slowly to back to her bed. As Olivia covered Amanda up, as a nurse came in.

"How are you doing, Ms. Rollins?" He questioned. Amanda leaned back against her pillows and sighed weakly.

"She was just getting sick if that tells you anything," Olivia frowned, as she smoothed sweat soaked bangs away from Amanda's forehead.

"Your wife's morning sickness should fizzle out by twelve weeks. Until then, the doctor has prescribed medicine to help with her nausea. If it becomes worse and she loses significate amounts of weight, please bring her back in. These are the discharge papers. Please sign them and you can take her home," He smiled.

Olivia was in shock that he assumed she was married to Amanda, so she didn't reply. All she did was take the clipboard and watch as he walked out.

"Liv?" Amanda asked hoarsely.

"I'm clearly a shitty wife since I left you here all night without me," Olivia teased weakly as she passed the clipboard to Amanda.

"It's as if he knows us outside of the hospital. We fight like an old married couple."
