Olivia shut the door and turned around to see Alex staring wide-eyed at the baby sound asleep in his swing.

"Liv? Why is there a baby in your apartment?" Alex asked.

"He's my son." Olivia said. She walked over to the couch and sat down.

"How old is he?" Alex asked without moving.

"9 months." Olivia answered.

Alex slowly made her way to the coach, staring at Noah the whole time.

"His name's Noah." Olivia said.

"Who's the...uh...father?" Alex asked awkwardly.

"Don't know." Olivia answered.

"What?!" Alex asked now looking at Olivia who was grinning.

"I adopted him, Alex." Olivia said.

"B-But he looks so much like you." Alex said.

"A lot of people have said that." Olivia answered. Noah started to cry, making his presence known. Olivia grabbed a binky off the end table and gave it to Noah. The baby gladly took it and stuck it in his mouth.

"So...why are you back." Olivia asked.

"My..uh..husband had a job offer here." Alex said as she twirled her wedding ring around her finger.

"Husband?" Olivia asked

"Yeah. We met a year after I left." Alex informed the sergeant.

"How long have you been married?" Olivia asked.

"4 years." Alex said.

"Wow. What's his name?" Olivia said.

"Matt." Alex answered.

"This man of yours have a last name?" Olivia asked jokingly.

"Casey. Matt Casey." Alex said.

"Alex Casey. That's interesting." Olivia said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, yeah." Alex said.

"Anything else new with you?" Olivia asked.

"There is one thing." Alex said slowly.

"And what is that?" Olivia asked curiously.

"I'm pregnant." Alex said.
