Summary: Good news at the Deakins/Benson household.
She had made the purchase last night, and had carefully read the instructions on the box before going to bed. Olivia hadn’t said anything to her husband, she didn’t want to give him false hope after everything that had happened. Instead, she laid by his side, half draped over him, listening to him breath as he slept. Her ear pressed against his chest she could feel the steady beat of his heart thumping in his chest. It reassured her, and when his hand slid up her back to gently pull her closer she smiled and moved under the light guidance. Firmly pressed to his side, his arm around her she finally relaxed enough to close her eyes and after a few minutes she succumbed to nagging sleep.
The very first rays of sunshine that illuminated their spacious bedroom woke her up instantly. Her heart raced, and thudded loudly in her ears as she lifted her head to glance at the clock. Six - thirty in the morning and she felt like a kid on Christmas day, excited, nervous and completely foolish for a woman her age. Taking a deep breath she slowly slid out of bed, careful not to wake the sleeping man next to her and padded to the bathroom.
Ten minutes later she reemerged and considered the information she had just found out. Standing in the middle of the hallway, she was frozen in time - caught between panic and the feeling of euphoria. Lost in her own little world she was finally brought back to earth by the appearance of Artemis, their Aussie Shepard. The small dog, padded out to her - looked up and then yawned widely, silently acknowledging that it was way to early in the morning to do anything, including being conscious.
Grinning suddenly she picked up the furry animal, and carefully carried her downstairs. Letting her outside she sat down and rummaged around to find a piece of paper and a ribbon. A few minutes later the sign was completed and carefully attached to Artey’s collar. The dog who was distracted with a doggie treat didn’t seem to mind the piece of paper that dangled from her collar. Walking up the stairs, Olivia glanced into the bedroom, to see her husband still peacefully sleeping on the king sized bed. Tip-toeing into the bedroom, she set the puppy on the edge of the bed and carefully pushed her towards the man.
"Go get daddy." She whispered in the puppy’s ear.
Tail nub wagging eagerly, the puppy bounced over the folds of the blanket, panting happily as she climbed up on James Deakins chest. Licking his face, Artey nuzzled Jimmy’s cheek as the man groaned and his eyelids fluttered. Sputtering awake he gabbed the puppy and pushed her away a little.
"I’m up! I’m up, baby girl! Stop." Laughing, he yawned loudly and sat up - blinking blearily at the puppy in front of him.
Spotting the piece of paper, he carefully turned it to the right side as his eyes slowly roamed over the writing. Eyebrows shot up, and he rubbed his eyes - clearing the sleep from them as if that was the reason he misread the note. His head jerked up and he stared at Olivia, his jaw dropped in shock and surprise. He tried to speak, his mouth moved to form words but nothing came out, just simply staring at his wife standing in the doorway. Grinning happily, she moved away from the door and hurried to the bed, laughing nervously as she stared down at her husband. He grabbed her quickly, and pulled her into the bed - his mouth on hers in a deep crushing kiss. Falling into his arms, she received the breath stealing kiss, and returned it as she grabbed his arms and carefully pulled away.
"Are you serious? Is it true? Your not kidding are you?" He asked breathlessly, his blue eyes wide with surprise and anxiety.
Giggling she nodded quickly, and took his hand and put it on her stomach. "Yeah, your gonna be a daddy again."
He laughed happily and grabbed her into a massive, tight hug as he fell back against the bed - holding her tightly. When their laughter died they both laid silently in the warm bed, holding each other and listening to the faint chirp of birds outside the bedroom windows. His hand moved slowly over her stomach and finally he rolled up on his side and looked down at her. The smile on his face never faltered as he kissed her mouth gently.
"I love you, Olivia Benson."
"I love you, James Deakins."

Nineteen weeks , Olivia was resting on a paper covered hospital bed, her shirt pulled up exposing her growing stomach. The test had been done, Olivia insisted on them - making sure the baby was healthy. Not knowing where half her genetic make up came from, she had nervously clutched at Jimmy’s hand as the doctor drew fluids and explained what each test was for.
Finally, when the tests were done the couple eagerly turned to the screen to watch, as the doctor started the ultrasound. Jimmy squeezed her hand trying to reassure her, even though his palms were sweating worse then her’s. Both giggled a little when the image of the baby appeared on the screen. Despite everything, her growing and the slowly decorating of the babies room, things just didn’t seem real. It wasn’t until they saw the blurry form on the screen that they both sighed with relief, and longing to hold their unborn baby.
When the picture came into better focus, tears came to Olivia’s eyes and she looked up at Jimmy with a happy smile. He still stared at the screen, blue eyes wide with pride before glancing down at Olivia.
"Our little chickpea." He spoke softly, squeezing her hand once more. Nodding she sighed, and rested her head against the bed.
"You want to know the sex, correct?" The doctor asked as she turned away from the monitor, to glance at the couple.
Both nodded eagerly, and there was another round of nervous giggles before Jimmy brought her hand to his lips and kissed it gently. Taking a deep breath, Olivia fell silent as her gaze flicked from her belly to the monitor. After five long, nervous minutes the doctor finally gave a little cry of triumph before turning to the couple.
Pointing to the screen, she grinned broadly. "Mr and Mrs. Deakins, you are going to have a boy!"
There was a moment of silence before she felt Jimmy’s hand go limp in her hand. Before she had a chance to renew her grip, Jimmy had fallen back, passed out into the chair next to the bed.
