Victory and defeat

Reunited

We were making dinner when the doorbell rang. "Ill get it" I said kissing Nick on the cheek. I laughed as Hope leaned in for a kiss too. She loves her daddy and her sister so much. I laughed and wiped my flour covered hands on my apron. I unlocked the door and there was Liv. Except she was crying, with her hands plastered over her middle and Noah in her arms on her hip. I stepped out in the hallway to get a closer look. She had cuts and bruises everywhere.

"Oh My god! Olivia Benson what happened to you?" I asked quickly ushering her inside

"Brian. He came home and told me that I was a filthy girl and I should go kill myself. He told me that he also loved another girl. He told me he wanted nothing to do with me or the twins. But deep down inside I really have loved Alex. I miss her terribly and I love her with all my heart" Liv cried

I gave her a big hug as far as our twin bellies would allow us. "I named them." Liv said sniffling

"Thats cute what did you name them?" I asked carefully holding her hand

"Alexandra Benson and Elliot Benson " She said happily

"That's lovely, do you want to know my girls names?" I said

She nodded quietly as I carefully put her hand on my belly. "Over here Is Jordyn Celia Amaro" moving her hand to the left side of my belly. And here is "Mackenzie Zara Amaro" I finished

We were about to get up when the doorbell rang again. This time Nick answered it with a smirk on his face. I looked at Liv and she was just as confused as I was. When he answered the door and we saw who stepped through Liv burst into tears again. I looked up and it was Alex.

Alex seeing the love of her life in such distress, rushed over to comfort her."Shhh I'm right here Babe. I love you so much. With all my heart" Alex soothed

"Alex..."Liv sobbed

"I...Love..you too. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you." She said through sobs.

"I know. And what happened to you just now is not okay. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. I love you Olivia Serena Benson"

"Alexandra. Are you okay with Noah?"

"He's OUR son and I love him just as much as you do. Also I am already in love with our soon to be here little baby" Alex said stroking her belly. To make Liv happy she without a second thought carefully slipped her free hand under her loves shirt.

"Alex we're having twins" Liv said happily

When Alex heard those words her her heart nearly exploded."Really? " She cried happily

Liv nodded and suddenly gave a wince of pain. "Liv?" Alex questioned worriedly

"Im okay, I just hurt." She said

"Where?" Alex asked her gently

Olivia shifted in her seat as a sign of discomfort. "My head is throbbing and..." She trailed off in her words

"And?. Come on Liv you can tell me. Come on my love" Alex said still keeping her hand on Liv's belly and using her free hand to support her. Liv sighed sadly and rested her head on Alex.  "He touched me" She shuddered. "I wouldn't let him touch the twins but he made me do things" She started to cry

"I'm sorry. You probably think of me as trash"

"Hey hey. I don't. I love you and I would do anything for you and Noah. Your the love of my life and I'm sorry it took so long to realize. Your not trash. Come here" Alex finished

In response Olivia gladly rested her head. Happy the love of her life was with her, Liv gave Alex a nice kiss on the cheek. While this Alex was tending to Olivia's injuries including rubbing her baby belly.

"Dinner!" Nick called

Everyone including me got up off the long couch, and went into the kitchen. Nick had made tacos for everyone.
.
"So Alex welcome back, you know all of us really well but you don't know some of us. This is Hope. She is almost a couple months old and you know Zara." Nick continued stroking the back of Zara's head,

"Hi Hope, I'm your Auntie Alex and I'm gonna love and take good care of Liv" She cooed to Hope who was sucking on her fingers.

"And.." I began to add on placing My fiancées hand on my belly. "In about 7 months our newest addition will be here."

"Cute! Have you named them?" Alex asked happily

"Yes we have. We decided on Jordyn and Mackenzie Amaro. "

"That's adorable. Liv have you thought of names for our children who are coming in about 3 months? " Alex asked sweetly and gently placing her hand on Olivia's growing belly.

Liv nodded happily while placing her own hand on top of Alex's.
"I've decided just for old times sake to go with Alexandra and Elliot. "

A moment of silence was given at the mention of that name. Everyone knew of him but no one mentioned him much because Liv had Nick as an even better partner.

"Olivia can I add on to it?"

She nodded. "I say we give our children middle names. How about Alexandra Serena Benson-Cabot and Elliot Nicholas Benson-Cabot?"

"I love it" Olivia cried

When everyone had finished they all took a breath. "I'm moving in with you, We will be together and raise Noah, Alexandra and Elliot. Sound good?" Alex asked

Liv smiled and said "yes. That sounds perfect"

So they did. When Alex and Liv got into the privacy of their own home, which of course was next door. Alex led Olivia to the couch

"You are so strong Babe and you are amazing. Come here. Let it out"

Olivia did. She was trying so hard at dinner to keep her composure but she just lost it. Olivia buried her head into the crook of Alex's neck and cried. She cried and Alex rubbed her back and soothed her.

"Alex" Liv said sobbing

"What my love?"

"They kicked."

And Olivia and Alex ended their night with that moment shared between the two of them.

Meanwhile after cleaning up I sat back on the couch. My cast was off but I still had to wear a splint.

"Alright Love come here" Nick said when he noticed Amanda drifting. Their girls were in bed and they could relax. He knew she was exhausted so he let her rest her head. Their moment was Amanda falling asleep in the love of her life's arms.
