Over Her Head 2

8.All on a Monday

Didn't realize it's been 3 months. Sorry.

Chapter 8 picks up where 7 left off. Dick Wolf owns.

When Olivia woke up the next morning, all she could think about was that she'd get to see Nick after a long weekend, but instead of the joyous anticipation she felt all weekend, she now felt guilty. Especially at not knowing what she'd say to him, or how she would face him.

She opened her eyes slowly as she woke up to the baby kicking exceptionally hard. Jesus, she hated days like this because she'd learned two months ago that if he started like this, he would continue throughout the day and she was already over it.

As she put a hand on her belly, vainly hoping to calm him, last night and all the things she did with David began playing in her head, driving her to pray that she'd dreamt them all. But as soon as she sat up to look at the clock, she noticed that she was completely naked beneath the covers, and the stickiness between her legs...

"Oh, Jesus!" She whispered as she dropped back down against the pillows and ran a hand through her wild hair while she touched the other between her legs. David was an animal last night, thoroughly ravaging her until they were both completely spent and now the soreness she felt... as much as they had both wanted what happened, right now she was filled with regret, bought at what? Was it because of what she let happen with her and David, or was it really about her and Nick?

...

After a long shower, she dried her freshly washed hair, deciding to leave it wavy. Then got dressed in black skinny pants with a white blouse and jacket before she made her way downstairs to the kitchen, where David and the girls were having breakfast and she stopped to think before she went in.

The girls had school and then piano and violin classes after, and David had meetings all day so she wouldn't be bothered until at least 5:30, and by then, she'd be on her way home. So, she'd take the girls to school, talk to their teachers a bit, and then head up to the Bronx to see Nick. They'd both taken the day off to see one another, except now, she was so nervous! Did she bring up what happened between David and her? "It was one time." She told herself. "One time that felt so good!" she followed up out loud.

You have to talk to him. Was what she would usually be telling herself about David, even before she got out of bed. But today she was unsure, and for probably the hundredth time since she woke up this morning, she wished that she could take back last night; just not have let it happened. She was reminded of this as she looked down at her ever-growing belly. Though was it the right thing? Last night she remembered why she loved him; and it wasn't just because of the way he made love to her. It was because afterward when she lay in his arms, she cried. She looked into his eyes for the first time in months last night and she saw everything that she had spent years falling in love with. Maybe everything she thought she felt last night was right, or maybe it would disappear.

"Good morning, beautiful!" He immediately smiled when she came into the room.

No such luck. She looked at him and there came that feeling all over again. That feeling that was like the day they met; she had a nervous sense, but a good nervous. Almost like there were butterflies in her stomach... What was happening?

I wanted to be there when you woke up, but these two..." He said and kissed her softly on the lips; wrapping his arms around her. The girls looked at them and grinned at each other. They were excited, to say the least, but they didn't make a sound. "...sleep okay?"

"I slept fine." she smiled, then turned away to face Aria and Sophia. "good morning, babies."

"Good morning, mommy." Sophia and Aria said at the same time, quite eerily. Olivia hated when they decided to be funny and did that creepy twin thing, although David thought it was hilarious and stood there in the background laughing to himself.
