Olivia finished her drink just as both Alex and Melinda both walked into the coffee shop. She could tell by the look on their faces that they were both worried and upset as she watched them make their way over to her and Maureen. As soon as they sat down she held up her hand to stop them from saying anything. "I'm doing okay you two. I don't need you screaming or shouting right now because not only do I have a headache I don't want to get stressed out again when I'm just now finally starting to calm down."

Melinda looked at Olivia with a critical eye and then nodded. "You do look pale Olivia but your color is returning. How are you feeling?"

Olivia sighed. "Well lets see I'm pregnant and I'm alone. Other than that I'm feeling just fine. Today was stressful to say the least but I ended up giving Don my badge because I just couldn't handle being there. I'm so close to just leaving New York that it isn't funny. I don't know how I'm going to be able to handle being so close to Elliot when I love him as much as I do even if I am pissed as hell at him."

Alex gave Olivia a small smile. "You will handle it Olivia because you are strong. And you are not alone at all Olivia. While you may not have the asshole which by the way is how I am referring to him until he gets his head out of his ass you do have Fin, Melinda, Casey, Maureen and me. We are going to do anything and everything that we can to help you through this and you know that. While I have been wondering just how smart Elliot is lately I do hope that he will eventually see sense and see that Kathy is no good for him."

Maureen who had just sat back down from using the bathroom heard what Alex said and nodded. "I have to agree that my so called Mother isn't good for my Dad. If Dad would only open up his eyes and see what Kathleen and I have seen. Hell even Dickie and Lizzie have seen it but they keep quiet so that they can keep an eye on Eli. Kathy doesn't spend her days at home so Dickie and Lizzie take care of him. Hell Kathy is always out with some guy and a lot of times it is a different guy. The only reason I know that is because I have seen her quite a few times. That is why Kathy really doesn't want me to come home to visit because she is afraid that I'll tell Dad. Then again she has also made sure to make Dad think that any problems between her and I are my fault. I was thinking of letting Dad know just what Mom gets up to when he is at work but after what happened today I don't think he is going to believe me. I love my Dad but he's going to learn the hard way just what kind of woman Kathy is."

Olivia looked at Maureen and saw the sadness in her eyes and reached across and grabbed a hold of her hand. "I know that you love your Dad honey but this is something that he is going to have to learn on his own. Hell I love your Dad and I really shouldn't especially after all the shit he said to me today but you can't choose who you love or who your family is. Now I really don't want to start crying which I am afraid I will do if we continue talking about he who shall not be named for the rest of today because of my damn hormones. Why don't you tell Alex and Melinda your news Maureen?"

Maureen's eyes widened at what Olivia said and then she shook her head and smiled. She couldn't fault Olivia for wanting to change the subject and she also knew that Olivia needed the attention off of her for now. She turned towards the other two women of their group of four and saw them both looking at her with questioning eyes. She took in a deep breath and then let it out. "Well I am four months pregnant and I have been dating Fin for almost a year now. However I have to ask that when we all get together tonight that you don't let on that I'm pregnant because I have yet to tell Fin. I had some complications for the first couple of months and I wanted to make sure I would get past the danger zone so to speak before I told him. I plan on telling him tonight when him and I both take Liv back to his place."

Alex smiled as did Melinda and they both said at the same time "We won't tell Fin. Congratulations."

Maureen smiled at both Alex and Melinda. "Thank you so much. At least I know that I'll have support when I need it. Are you guys still going out tonight with Fin and Munch?"

Alex nodded and said "Yes we are. Casey will be meeting us at the bar since she couldn't get the rest of the day off like Melinda and I did. I think that tonight even though you and Olivia can't drink that it would be a good idea to toast Olivia's pregnancy."

Olivia smiled slightly at Alex and said "Thank you Alex. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you all to lean on right now. I'm usually a lot stronger than this as you very well know but right now I feel as if my world has been blown wide apart and I'm not even sure which way is up."

Melinda reached her hand across the table and grasped Olivia's hand in hers and shook her head. "You don't need to thank Alex or me Olivia. You are family to us and we will do whatever you need us to in order to help you through this tough time. We all know that you're strong Olivia but you don't always have to be strong. That is why you have friends like us so we can help take on the burden if you need us to. We will also figure out tonight a schedule so that one of us is with you when you go to your Doctor appointments. Just because the asshole isn't in the picture doesn't mean that you can't have support at your appointments. I think between Alex, Casey, Fin, Munch, Maureen and myself that we will be able to make sure that one of us is with you at each Doctor appointment."

Olivia blinked the tears away that filled her eyes and gave Melinda a watery smile. "I know that I don't need to thank you but I want to. I think if it wasn't for you all that I would be completely lost."

Alex, Melinda and Maureen all exchanged a look with one another and then all three stood up and hugged Olivia together. They silently vowed that they would make sure that Olivia never felt lost no matter what it took.
