And in the beginning..There was you!!!

36

(Three months went by and Olivia was over being pregnant. She was 32 weeks pregnant and felt like a whale ready to pop. After much convincing she finally agreed on her and Elliot moving in together. She was four weeks away from taking her maternity leave and she was on desk duty. She exits her office to go see if her squad has come up with a lead yet.)

Olivia: OK guys where are we?

Fin: Liv you didn't have to get up We would have come to you.

Curry: Yeah, your supposed to be on desk duty not moving around.

Olivia: (exhale) I appreciate your concern but I'm fine. Besides my hips hurts if I sit for too long so a little walking will not kill me.

Fin: No but El will kill me if I let anything happen to the three of you.

Olivia: I'll deal with El, how is the case going any leads?

Fin: No but we're close.

(At that moment she sees Elliot come off the elevator.)

Curry: Uh oh.

Olivia: Let me know what you guys have.

Fin: (laughs) Look at that waddle.

Olivia: Shut up!

(She makes it to her desk just as he walks in. He closes the door to give them some privacy before he gives her a look.)

Elliot: Aht aht don't even try and play it off I caught you.

Olivia: (out of breath) I was just up for five minutes.

Elliot: Babe you have to follow the doctors orders or...

Olivia: I am, but my hips hurt if I sit for to long and...

Elliot: Then maybe its time to think about..

Olivia: No, I still have a good five weeks before then.

Elliot: You heard the doctor Liv, the twins can come early. I've been through this before I know what can happen if...

Olivia: Don't, do not even say it.

Elliot: You need to think about their safety Liv and not this damn job. They need to be your first priority right now making sure they are healthy. Having twins is not like having one anything could go wrong Liv. So can you please put your pride to side and think about them for once?

(Frustrated and shocked she gets and makes her way around her deck.)

Olivia: (very emotional) How dare you say that to me. It's always been about them from day one, you son of a bitch. (teary-eyed) My children are my first priority no matter what I have going on. But for you to even fix your mouth and say that I don't think about their safety, hurts. I'm fucking 49 years old carrying around two babies with a 9-year-old at home. I still make sure I give him the attention he needs. (she's crying now) I eat healthy and try to exercise as much as I can without any body aches. I'm always sweaty, I'm big as a fucking house, and you come up in here basically telling me I'm a bad mother because I was out of my damn seat for five fucking minutes.

(He walks towards her.)

Elliot: Liv you need to calm down.

Olivia: Don't tell me to calm down.

(He stands in front of her places his hands on her arms and moves them up and down.)

Elliot: Baby I'm sorry. I'm just a little concerned about the three of you that's all. I just want you to be comfortable and not work too hard. Look how about you get off early today, I'll cook dinner and give you a massage to ease your aches.

Olivia: (wipes her cheeks) I need to get back to work.

Elliot: Liv?

Olivia: I can't do this right now.

Elliot: Will you at least be home early?

Olivia: (looks down) Yeah.

Elliot: Liv look at me, please.

(She swallows the lump in her throat and looks up into his eyes. He cups her face wiping away the fallen tears.)

Olivia: I really need to get back to work.

Elliot: I love you, all three of you very much. I'm a worrywart and I only want my family to be ok.

Olivia: I know, but I would never put our children in jeopardy or in harm's way.

Elliot: I know and I'm an asshole for saying those things.

Olivia: A big one.

Elliot: (chuckles) I deserve that.

(He looks her over once more before he kisses her lips and then bends kissing her belly.)

Olivia: I'll be home by five and I'm looking forward to that apology massage later tonight.

Elliot: Aye aye captain.

(He kisses her one more time before he leaves her to her work. She finishes up her paperwork before she packs up and leaves work at 4:30. She makes it home in time peeling off her boots, and keys on the hook.)

Olivia: Im home.

Noah: Elliot mom is here.

(Elliot is coming from their bedroom.)

Elliot: (smiles) Hey mama.

Olivia: Hey.

(Noah comes over and wraps his arms around her bump the best way he could. She riffs up his curly hair before she place a kiss on his head.)

Noah: Your home early mom.

Olivia: Yeah well someone made mommy realize how hard she's working so here I am.

Noah: You do work too hard.

Elliot: (tries to hide his smile) Noah you want to help me make dinner while mom takes a nice warm bath.

Olivia: You ran me a bath?

(He wraps his big arm around her and kisses her neck.)

Elliot: Yep and I even added your favorite bubble bath and skin oil.

Olivia: You really trying to win back brownie points.

(She takes his face in her hands and kisses him.)

Noah: (makes a face) Ewwww so gross.

Olivia: (giggles) He says that every time, you would think he would be used to that by now.

Elliot: Hey no son wants to see their mom kissing another guy.

Olivia: But I love this guy and he's very good to me.

Elliot: I see you're trying to get brownie points.

Olivia: (whispers in his ear) I don't know if you noticed but I've been very horny this past week.

(With that she walks off but not before she gives him a very seductive look. She goes into their room to get ready for her bath before dinner. In the living room, Elliot looks between the room and Noah before making his decision.)
