So apparently when I started this story, I didn't know the baby's name. Let's pretend that I'd been using 'Noah' the whole time. Sorry about that! Also, sorry about taking so long to update! Enjoy!

"Look, just keep showing Carisi the ropes, it's really helping." Liv shouted to Amanda as she looked at the blonde with a smirk.

"That's like my mother telling me I'm the only one that can mop the floors because she didn't wanna do it." The blonde shot back with a shrug as Olivia fought off a smile.

The brunette was about to respond when she heard her phone ring in her office, leaving to go answer that, smiling at the exasperated look on her girlfriend's face before she disappeared into her office.

Hours later, the brunette had finally finished up talking with Barba and everyone working the case before she was able to head home.

"Amanda, you home?" The brunette asked as soon as she unlocked the door to her apartment and walked inside.

"Nursery." The blonde detective called back, a smile evident in her voice.

That was one of the things that Olivia loved so much about her girlfriend; she loved the fact that the blonde never really held a grudge or seemed annoyed after a rough day at work.

Liv set down her things and walked down the hallway, smiling as she turned the corner and saw her gorgeous girlfriend cradling Noah in the rocking chair, talking to him softly, pointing him towards Liv as her smile grew even wider.

"Hi sweetie. How are you both?" She asked, knowing that only one of them would be able to respond.

"We're good, huh buddy?" Amanda said quietly as she stood up and walked over to Liv, who was still leaning against the doorjamb. She calmly handed the baby to her girlfriend before she leaned in to kiss her softly, pulling back with a smile.

"Why don't you sit with him and I'll go make us all some dinner. No arguments, Liv." Amanda continued as Liv looked like she was about to start talking and then stopped.

"Can we at least come sit with you and catch up?" The older woman asked, rubbing Noah's back gently.

"That sounds great, baby." The blonde nodded truthfully as she waited for the brunette to follow her out.

"Amanda, I really am sorry that I'm shoving you with Carisi, but I trust you to show him the ropes. And this won't be forever, I promise."

"I know, Liv. It's fine, he's not too bad. Pretty chatty and cocky, but not too bad."

"Uh huh, like someone else I know." The brunette said with a wink as Amanda shook her head and laughed.

"I am with you, maybe not so much with people that I've just met."

"I know, I'm just giving you a hard time."

A few days later, Liv was sitting in her office filling out a report while Amanda was out chasing down a few leads on a new case with Carisi.

The brunette looked up as Fin knocked on the doorframe and then walked in.

"Hey Fin, what's up?" She asked with a smile as she closed her computer.

"Me and Amaro were talking earlier and we decided that we're taking over SVU for the weekend." He said with a grin as Olivia looked slightly confused.

"Care to tell me why?"

"Because it's Valentine's Day Weekend and you've got a gorgeous lady and son to be home with. Plus, we can handle it, Liv."

"Oh, I know you guys can handle it, but wouldn't you rather be off with someone for Valentine's?"

"Nah, not this year. We want to do something nice for you guys too, you both deserve it."

"Well thank you, Fin. I really appreciate it. Amanda will too." She said happily with a nod.

"No problem, Sarge." He said as he stood up and walked out the door.

"Rollins, my office now!" Liv shouted once she saw that her girlfriend and Carisi were back.

The blonde looked a little unsure, but walked in there anyways, closing the door after her.

"Yeah, Sarge?" She asked apprehensively.

"Don't worry, nothing is wrong." Liv said with a laugh as Amanda smiled and sat down across from her.

"Fin and Amaro volunteered to cover this weekend, so we're off the hook. Which means that we get to spend Valentine's Day together."

"Really? They did that for us? I'll have to buy them some drinks later." She said softly.

"I think it's probably too late to get a sitter for Noah, so-" Liv started off before Amanda interrupted her.

"Hey, it doesn't matter. Valentine's Day is about being with loved ones, and I love both of you. Besides, I'd rather order Chinese, drink wine, and watch movies with the two of you." Amanda said with a smile as Liv looked at her happily.

The two constantly worked so hard, so they really enjoyed just doing low-key things at home; they also weren't huge on gift giving, so besides flowers and chocolate, they generally opted out of giving gifts.

"That sounds perfect. Don't forget Frannie though too, babe."

"Oh, she will be so excited to see you and Noah." The blonde replied. Since the case had been kicking their butts lately, Rollins had been crashing at her own apartment so she didn't wake up Noah or Liv by coming in too late with an excitable dog.

A few hours later, Liv and Amanda had gotten the guys up to date about what she and Carisi had found earlier, and they were about to head out for the weekend.

"Thanks again, guys. Hope the weekend is quiet for you." Liv said as she patted Fin's shoulder.

"Yeah, we really appreciate it, guys." Rollins added as she smiled at them.

"Our pleasure, you two have a good weekend."

The women walked to the elevator together and went to go pick up Noah at daycare.

"Detectives! This is a nice surprise! It's nice to see you two picking up Noah together." Laurie, one of the workers said with a smile.

"It's nice for us two, too bad it doesn't get to happen more often." Liv replied with a sad smile as Amanda squeezed her wrist softly.

"Do you ladies have any fun plans for tomorrow?"

"We're probably just going to be hanging out around home with Noah and our dog. It'll just be a nice, relaxing day." Olivia answered with a smile as Amanda smiled happily at the fact that Liv thought of Frannie as her dog too.

"That sounds like the perfect day." Laurie said as someone brought Noah out, causing the women to smile as he was passed to Liv's arms. He smiled happily, reaching his other arm out to Amanda, who kissed his hand happily.

"We should probably be going, but have a great weekend, Laurie." Amanda said as Laurie nodded and smiled gratefully.

"Thanks. Have a good one, ladies!"

"Alright, he is down for the night, which means that it is just us, Amanda." Olivia said with a smirk as she walked back into the living room holding the baby monitor.

"Perfect. You have no idea how happy I am to be here." The blonde said slowly as she squeezed Liv's bicep.

"Same here. I feel like I haven't seen you in ages. It's been quiet without you here, and a lot colder at night." The brunette said truthfully as she kissed Amanda's cheek.

"I know how you feel, I was just pulling late nights and didn't want to wake you up by bringing Frannie in here in the middle of the night." The younger detective explained as Liv nodded.

"You don't have to explain yourself to me, babe. I get it, I really do. But also, you and Frannie are more than welcome here at any time, day or night. Being woken up by you never bothers me, I can assure you that much."

"Noted." Rollins said with a sly smirk as she leaned in and connected their lips softly.

"How about we finish our food and wine and then we take a bath together?" Olivia suggested, knowing that the blonde loved taking bathes to unwind. The brunette loved being able to talk with her for a long time until the water got cold and they eventually got out.

"That sounds like the perfect night. I'm glad that I get to spend this night with you. And every night if I didn't feel so bad about waking you up."

"Honestly, Amanda, being woken up for a few minutes is fine if it means that I get to wake up to that adorable face of yours." Liv said, smiling as Amanda blushed.

"How about that bath now, Sergeant?" She asked with a smile, standing up and extending her hand to grab Olivia's and pull the brunette into her.

"Sounds amazing." She whispered softly against Amanda's lips before kissing her lovingly and leading her to the bathroom.
