*16 1/2 years earlier*

Author's POV

"Woaw Liv, is that Ellie Porters kid?" Cragen asked. "Uhm.. Not really. It's my kid. Guys, meet little Noah Benson." She smiled.

"Wow really? He's yours? How?" Amanda asked.

"I was at the court, and the judge simply asked me if I wanted to be his fostermom. In about a year, they'll ask me if I want to permanently adopt him." Olivia said smiling, yet tears building in her eyes.

"Congratulations mommy!" Nick laughed, and then everyone hugged her and congratulated her.

"Umm. Liv? My office." Cragen said.

She closed the door to his office. "Yeah cap'n?" "Well.. Uhmm, now that you're suddenly a mother, and congratulations by the way, you are entitled to six months maternity leave." Cap'n smiled.

"Oh.. I haven't even thought about that yet. Six months off duty?! Uhmm.. I can't do that!" "Well, you can, if you want, stay and do paperwork. You can bring Noah, and you can talk to victims, but I won't allow you out in the field for the next six months!" Cap'n offered.

Olivia thought about it for a sec. "Okay. That sounds great! Thank you so much Cap'n!" She said and hugged him with her free arm. She was holding Noah in the other one.

"No problem. Now go home with your son. You can start on desk work tomorrow."

"Thanks again."

As she walked out all eyes were on her and Noah.

"So.. Are you going on maternity leave!" Amanda asked. "Nope, I'll work on desk duty. Noah will come to work with me." Olivia smiled. "I'm going home with Noah. See ya tomorrow!"

The days went on. Olivia and Noah were doing great. She worked on desk duty, and Noah got a blanket on the floor with lots of toys and teddy bears. Everyone one at the precint loved the little boy. They enjoyed holding him and giving him babyfood and stuff. They also took lots of pictures of him together with the team.

About two weeks after Olivia got Noah, Amanda, Casey and Alex decided to throw Liv a late Babyshower.

They wouldn't do it earlier, since they wanted Noah and Liv to settle first, but now was the perfect time!

They planned everything, and everyone were in on it. The actually held it at the precint on a day off. They decorated it, brought in cake and presents, and then phoned Liv to come down. Emergency they said.

Shortly after Liv arrieved. "I'm gere, what i-." "SURPRIIISEEEEE!!" Everyone shouted.

"What?" Liv was all confused. "We're having a late babyshower!" Alex squeeled. "Come on!! There are presents!" Casey laughed. "You did this for me? Aww you guys! Look Noah, they have presents for you!" Liv was very touched. As on que, little Noah started laughing.

Amanda came over and pulled Olivia over to a chair and sat her down.

"Present time!" She said. Nick came first with a big gift. "Here you go! My daughter picked it out." He smiled. Olivia opened the gift, and it was a little play car that Noah could sit in. A police model. She showed Noah the car, but he was more intrested in the wrapping paper. Typical kids. "Thank you so much Nick! It's really cool!" Olivia smiled.

Everyone gave their presents. Amanda got Noah clothes and a Teddy bear. On one of the bodystockings it said: Badass Benson. She had it custom made. Casey got him toys, and a spiderman bath towel. Alex had built a car from diapers, and added a winter suit. Cragen had gotten him clothes. A sweater, a pair of jeans and really cute little shoes. Fin gave him a baby police cap, a teddy bear and a photo album with all the pictures they had taken. Munch gave him two bedtime stories, as well as a pictureframe of Noah and Liv.

After the gifts and all the 'thank you's' from Olivia, everyone settled and ate cake.

At the table, Casey announced she was getting married in a month. She was engaged with a guy called Benjamin, and he was a lawyer. She said that Alex and Amanda were gonna be her bridesmades. Olivia was her made of honour.

It was a really nice day and everyone enjoyed it.

No one had in mind, that these lovely times would come to an end soon.
