A Protector's Love [Benson and Carisi]

{Forty-Seven}

Lola was released from the hospital three days after she tried to kill herself. She was sent home and her parents had to watch her closely to make sure she didn't try anything else. She was still upset and scared of being pregnant, but with the help of her family, she was getting love and support no matter what.

Olivia and Dominick were continuing to try for a baby, while Lola's grew bigger and stronger.

"Fuck!" Lola screamed from upstairs. Olivia was at the house with Sawyer, and she looked at the stairs and sighed.

"What is she yelling about?" Serena asked, as she quickly came out of the kitchen and stopped beside her daughter who was now standing and placing her son on her hip.

"I'm thinking that either her clothes don't fit or maybe it's because her boobs hurt again. She's nearly 5 months pregnant now, so either could be the reason." Olivia sighed as she bounced her almost year-old up a little higher onto her hip. He seemed to weigh a ton now, so he was always slipping from his mother's hip.

"She's way more dramatic than you were when you were pregnant with Sawyer." Serena sighed, as she heard stomping on the second floor before another slur of swear words.

"She's always been more dramatic," Olivia replied as she moved to the stairs. She and her mother climbed them slowly before making it to the second floor. They slowly padded down the hall and to where Lola's room was. Robert and Serena had offered to make up a nursery for the baby in the spare room next to Lola's, but she had refused because she kept saying she made up her mind and didn't want the baby. Or what she not so lovingly called "the thing".

"Bunny?" Olivia asked as she passed Sawyer to Serena before knocking on Lola's bedroom door.

"Olivia, I'm done!" Lola yelled as she swung open the door before marching back to her closet. She was dressed in a sports bra and a pair of shorts, and her stomach was prominent out in front of her.

"Lola, it's okay," Olivia spoke, as she moved into the messy room. She walked over to the closet where Lola was thumbing through the clothes that once fit her. They were tight on her chest or stomach now, or her pants wouldn't even button anymore.

"It's not okay! This thing is taking over my body and I can't do anything about it!" Lola huffed. She turned to look at her sister and saw where Serena was standing behind Olivia, Sawyer settled on her hip.

"What?" Olivia asked.

"I love that baby... Sawyer is amazing. But I don't know why you wanted him or wanted to be pregnant at all!" Lola cried.

"I wanted to get pregnant because I am married to the most amazing man in the world. We wanted a baby that was a mix between us." Olivia huffed, as she felt herself grow angry. She had really random emotions lately, and she was sure she could blame it on how bitchy her sister was lately.

"Well, I never want to be pregnant again. I hate that my body is getting taken over! I'm not skinny anymore, I look like you!" Lola yelled, and Olivia had to restrain from hitting her sister.

"Okay, so I haven't lost all of the weight from Sawyer, but I look healthier now! I'm not underweight which I had been for many years of my life." Olivia huffed.

"Well-" Lola started, but Serena stopped her.

"Lola, let's go to buy you more clothes. We can get you some bigger pants and shirts and then you'll be set for the rest of your pregnancy." Serena spoke, and Lola nodded.

"Olivia, give me your shirt," Lola spoke, reaching out to Olivia.

"No. This is mine. Go find your own shirt." Olivia huffed before she turned around and grabbed her baby. He started to squeal Mama over and over again as they left the room.

"You are lucky that I'm your Mama, Sawyer. Because your Aunt is a mean lady right now."

Olivia walked around the mall with her mother and sister. Lola refused to go to maternity stores because she said that she wasn't going to be seen dead in one of those stores.

They were walking around Target when Olivia slipped away with Sawyer. She went into the baby aisle to look for some new clothes for her boy that was growing too fast. As she was looking at boy clothes, she found herself moving to the girl clothes. Everything was so pink and dainty. It made her want a baby girl so badly.

"Mama?" Sawyer questioned, as he pushed away a fluffy purple dress.

"What, baby?" Olivia asked as she looked at her son.

"No." He grumbled as he tried to pull the dress from his mother's hands.

"Oh, this isn't for you, Sawyer... but it might be for someone soon." Olivia breathed. She pushed her cart back to the boy aisle before putting Sawyer in it. She grabbed several items before moving towards the other side of the store.

She hesitantly walked down an aisle and stopped in front of the pregnancy tests. She looked at them for a long moment before grabbing a box of three and heading to the checkout.

"Olivia?" Serena asked quietly as she moved into the Target bathroom. Olivia had texted her and asked her to come to the bathroom because she didn't want to walk out.

"Uh, we are here." Olivia breathed, as she came out of the big stall with Sawyer on her hip. She had changed his diaper while she waited.

"What's happening?" Serena asked, and Olivia bit her lip before looking at her mother with tear-filled eyes.

"I just wanted to mess around and take the test... but then I found out that I'm pregnant." Olivia spoke. Serena smiled softly as she moved closer to her daughter.

"I didn't know that you and Dominick were trying."

"We were going to stop... but then we decided to not let Lola's situation stop us from expanding our family... I just didn't think it would happen this quickly." Olivia breathed. Serena smiled as she hugged her daughter tightly.

"At least I'll get to watch this little one grow up... because Lola is very adamant in regards to not wanting the baby."
