A/N: This popped into my head randomly and I had to write it down. Alright, on with the show!

Flashback:

Donald Cragen, Fin Tutuola, John Munch and Casey Novak stood at the window of the hospital nursery, gazing down at the two new miracles that had suddenly and unexpectedly come into their lives. Grace Casey Benson-Stabler and Gabriela Joy Benson-Stabler gazed steadily back at their new family with deep hazel brown eyes so like their mother's eyes.

Not two months after Elliot and Olivia had announced their relationship, Olivia had announced that she was pregnant. The entire squad was thrilled for her, knowing how long Olivia had wanted to be a mother. They knew the moment Elliot and Olivia gazed at their daughters, their world would now revolve around their children.

All four were sitting in Olivia's hospital room a few hours after the twins' birth, visiting and seeing the babies for the first time, when Olivia had asked them to be a part of the babies lives in a bigger way then they thought they would.

"Listen guys, we all know that I didn't grow up with the best family, but I don't want my daughters to be in the same situation." Olivia began. "We would be honoured if you would be Uncle Munch, Uncle Fin, Aunt Casey, and Grandpa Don to our daughters." Against their will, the guys' eyes had teared, and Casey had promptly burst into tears, nodding furiously to the affirmative. Olivia had shifted Grace into Cragen's arms and Gabriela into Fin's. They stared down at the babies, wondering how it was possible to love someone so much that they had just met.

Eighteen Months Later:

Much had changed around the Special Victims Unit. Cragen was still captain, and the core four was still there, however Fin had started dating the recently divorced Melinda Warner, much to everyone's shock, and they had suspicions that Munch was also seeing someone, as he cut out of work some weekend nights, returning with a smile that consumed his entire face. Olivia and Elliot, who were not at work as much as they used to be in order to devote more time to their children, had shocked everyone with the news that they were expecting again ("Only one in there this time" Olivia had laughed). Grace and Gabriela were now happy, healthy 1-year-olds. They were the light of the SVU. Whenever Elliot and Olivia would bring them into work, Casey, Cragen, Munch and Fin would play with the babies for hours. Cragen, especially, who had resigned himself to the fact that he would never have grandchildren, doted on the twins. They were "Grandpa Don's little angels" to him.



Elliot and Olivia were now out on the last field job that Cragen would allow them to go on, because Olivia was seven months pregnant, and the Captain was sitting in his office, catching up on paperwork, when the phone rang.

"Donald Cragen, Special Victims Unit."

"Mr. Cragen? This is Dr. Mellencamp at Mercy General Hospital, calling in regards to Elliot and Olivia Stabler."

Cragen sat bolt upright in his chair. He was not Elliot and Olivia's blood relation, so the only reason the hospital would be calling was if...

No. He could not say the words. He couldn't even bring himself to think them.

"Yes?" he managed to squeak out.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Cragen. Mr. and Mrs. Stabler were involved in an accident. We did everything we could, but we couldn't save them. We would respectfully ask that you come down here..."

No...no...NO!! It couldn't be true. This had to be some sick joke. Yet, deep in his heart, Cragen knew it was not. They were gone. Dead.

He sat back, numbness invading his mind while questions swirled in his head like a tornado.

"What about the squad? What about the jobs? Who did this? Why would someone do this?

Then, one question began to pound at his skull:

"What about the kids?"

A/N: Dodges garbage and rotten fruit thrown at her I'm not really sure why I so enjoy repeatedly killing Olivia, and this time I took Elliot down too...

I'm not sure where I'm going with this story, but I have a few idea floating around in my admittedly emo mind. Strap on your seatbelts folks, and please fill out the review form located in the bottom left corner of your screen. Yep, that's the one. If at any time during the ride, you should feel the need to exit for whatever reason, please do so in a quiet, orderly fashion, with no negativity.

Oh, and in case anyone's wondering, I haven't abandoned Alone. Next chapter is coming!
