Tangled Webs II: Normal For The Spider - An SVU fic

3.And so, it begins...

One week later...

"Okay, we're off to the park" Trevor announced upon entering the living room where Olivia was lying on the sofa while Noah sat happily in his playpen, concentrating on chewing the life out of the teething ring in his mouth while drool poured down his chin. Even with Trevor's mother here taking the kids off their hands for the past week, just like with the twins, her morning sickness lasted through the day and she was too tired for anything more than lying down when she wasn't working and even that required great effort lately. This bothered her because she had just made Lieutenant six months ago and didn't want it to appear that the job was too much for her and she knew that she'd have to disclose her pregnancy sooner than she'd planned so that the brass would know that her fatigue wasn't fueled from being overwhelmed by her new position.

"You sure you can handle all three?" Olivia asked

"Honey, I'm super dad, I got this. And don't worry about lunch, I'll feed them and have them back in time for their nap" he said as he bent down and kissed her before going to pick up Noah. "I love you"

"I love you too; you might wanna get back to the car before they free themselves and drive away."

"Probably a good idea. Noah, say bye bye"

"byebye mama" he said , waving his hand in an open-close motion then stuck his teething ring back in his mouth

"Get some rest" Trevor said to Olivia before kissing her again then turning to leave. He got to the open front door and paused, turning around to look at Olivia. "You think maybe we could...I mean if you're up to it" he asked. She suddenly got up and ran from the room with her hand to her stomach.

"So is that a no?' he yelled

"No no no no no" Noah babbled, shaking his head. Trevor laughed at his son, kissing his head as they walked out the door.

Over at the sixteenth, Fin was just finishing a phone call at his desk when Rollins entered the squad room carrying coffee and a redbull.

""Fin, you alright?" Nick asked while Amanda sat the energy drink in front of him, thanking her as she then proceeded to put one of the coffees down on her partner's desk.

"Yeah, you look upset" Amanda noted

"We gotta head out" Fin informed the two younger detectives

"Okay... that still doesn't explain..." Amanda said as she took a seat at her own desk across from Fin.

"I'm familiar with the address; I better call Liv."

"She's off today" Nick reminded

"Trust me, she'll wanna know about this!"

...

"Sweetie, do you feel like eating a little something?" Tricia asked Olivia who was now sitting out by the pool dangling her feet in the cool water while one of their two-year-old Bullmastiffs, Semper, lay beside her, her head in Olivia's lap and the other, Jax, lay under an oak tree happily playing with a ball.

"Not yet" Olivia answered, sickened by just the thought. She hadn't thrown up since Trevor had left over an hour ago and didn't want to do anything that might induce it.

"How about I get you some ginger ale?"

"Thank you please."

"I'll be right back with it; Sergeant Tutuola's on the phone, he says he needs to talk with you" she said as she handed Olivia the phone

"Thanks Tricia. Semper, Jax inside" Olivia called to the dogs as she took the receiver and Tricia made her way back inside, both dogs having gotten up and followed her. "Fin, it's my day off, this had better be important" she said upon answering.
