A/N: Here is just another short fun story. I hope you enjoy it. Please read and review.
Disclaimer: Only own Phoenix and Keannah.
Elliot Stabler and his wife Olivia Stabler sat in the doctor's office waiting for the results of their yearly check-ups.
"Mr Stabler, you have very high blood pressure. I am prescribing you some blood pressure medication and you need to rest in a stress free environment. Mrs Stabler, you on the other hand are very healthy. I am guessing you release your anger and stress out safely.
Olivia nodded. "I play with the kids or beat the crap out of the punching bag for a while."
Dr Goodman smiled. "You might need to teach your husband that. I'll see you two next time."
Olivia and Elliot walked out to the car, hand in hand. Boy, the next few days were going to be fun for Olivia. Not. She would have to keep two 16 year olds, a two year old and a six year old in check. Rick and Liz, two year old Keannah (Key-ah-nah) Peyton and six year old Phoenix James.
Olivia turned in to their street and sighed. Elliot heard it and turned to his quiet wife in the driver's seat.
He placed a loving hand on her slender thigh, clothed in a dark blue pair of brand new jeans. "Baby, are you ok?"
Olivia pulled over in their driverway of their brownstone and looked over at her husband, sporting a fake smile on her face. "Huh?"
She had been in her own little world so she hadn't been listening.
Elliot caressed his lover's naturally tanned cheek and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. "I asked if you were ok, honey?"
Olivia plastered another fake smile on her face for her husband, hopinh he wouldn't pick up on her lie for once. "Yeah, I'm fine, El. We should let Maureen go home to Aaron."
Elliot either didn't catch the lie for once or decided to drop it temporarily. "Ok, honey. We need to see what trouble the kids are up to anyway."
Olivia nodded before taking off her seat belt and opening the driver's side door.

Olivia and Elliot walked in to the two storey brownstone to hear laughter and some show on the TV. Elliot closed the door behind them and Olivia put her purse on the table in the foyer before they heard tiny patters of feet. Keannah ran out of her bedroom and down the stairs, buck naked. She'd hit the terrible two's with full force.
"Mommy! Daddy!" She called out, happily and ran up to her mother, wrapping her little arms around her mother's long, slender legs.
"Hi nakie girl. Come on, let's get some clothes on you," Olivia said as she picked up the troublesome toddler.
"No," Keannah shrieked and shook her head, quickly.
"Keannah Peyton Stabler, you need clothes on," Olivia insisted as she carried the child upstairs.
Olivia walked in to the little girl's pink painted bedroom which was connected to her and Elliot's bedroom but was seperated by two white painted wooden doors and had another entrance in to the room from the hallway.
She didn't let Keannah down on the floor because she would make a break for it.
"Where are your brothers and sisters, Missy? Maureen was here to look after you," Olivia asked Keannah as she pulled out a pair of pull-up diapers.
Keannah shrugged her shoulders and accidentally whacked her mother's jaw. "Sorry Mama."
Olivia gave her a kiss on the cheek. "It's ok, baby," she replied before grabbing out a pair of pink pyjamas with rainbows and clouds on them.
"Come on, let's get you bathed and dressed, huh?"
Keannah nodded with a smile. "With dolly?"
Olivia smiled back and carried the little girl in to the bathroom. "Yes, baby, with your bath time dolly."
"Yay!" Keannah clapped her hands as her loving mother sat her down on the closed lid of the toilet.
"Stay here for a minute while Mommy runs the bath for you," Olivia said softly before reaching over and turning the taps on, making sure it wasn't too hot or too cold for the young child.
Once the bath was filled, Olivia helped Keannah off the toilet.
"Ready for the bath, Kea?"
Keannah nodded and smiled at her mother. "Yep."
"Ok," Olivia said and picked her up before standing her in the bathtub.
The brown haired, blue eyed toddler sat down in the water and began to splash around, wetting her mother's back in the process as Olivia went through the bath time toy basket for Keannah's doll.
Olivia turned around to face the mischievous pint-sized Benson-Stabler. "Keannah Peyton, what has Mommy told you about splashing?"
Keannah pouted at her mother. "It naughty. Body slip."
Olivia passed her little girl the plastic doll and looked in to her innocent sapphire orbs. "Yes, that's exactly right, sweetie. Somebody could slip over," Olivia replied before pouring come baby body wash on a soft damp pink cloth. "Close your eyes."
Keannah closed her eyes as her mother washed the chocolate off her face.
Who knows how she managed to get it on her forehead as well as around her mouth.
Olivia rinsed off the soap. "Ok, baby, open your eyes."
Keannah opened her little eyes and played with her doll named Lu-Lu, while her mother washed her.
Olivia was just about to get Keannah out of the bath tub when she heard Elliot yell out.
"Phoenix! Rick!
Olivia sighed as she grabbed a towel. "Stand up, Kea."
Keannah pulled the plug and stood up. "Pulleded the pluggie, Mama."
"Thank you, baby. Come on, let's get you in your warm jammies and then go see what trouble your brothers are causing downstairs."
"Boys naughty," Keannah said as she walked in to her bedroom, holding her mommy's hand.
Olivia laughed. "They sure are."

Downstairs in the living room, Rick and Phoenix were play fighting again.
No matter how much they were told off for it, they still did it.
Elliot and Olivia didn't want violence or inappropriate language in their home.
Elliot caugh the boys red handed for the third time that week and it was Monday night.
"Phoenix! Rick!" Elliot yelled from the kitchen/living room doorway before noticing that Liz was sitting on the couch, watching her brothers.
"Liz, go do your homework. Phoenix, Rick, sit on the couch. I need to talk to you," Elliot said and went to walk over to them but was stopped by his wife, who had walked down the stair which led to the kitchen, with Keannah perched on her hip, like usual.
"No, I need to talk to them, honey. Take Kea and teach her how to cook your famous spaghetti bolognese while I talk to the boys," Olivia said, firmly but softly to her husband.
"Ok, baby," Elliot replied and took their baby girl.
Olivia gave Elliot a quick kiss on the lips and walked in to the living room to talk to the trouble makers and Liz, who hadn't moved from her spot on the middle of the couch, sitting yoga style.
Olivia sat on the coffee table in front of their three older children and sighed. "I need the three of you to behave yourselves for at least the next few days because your dad had a high blood pressure so I am going to take on more around the house so he can stress less. You hear me?"
A chorus of gruntled 'yes' and 'whatevers' were said before the three got up.
"Phoenix, where's my hello kiss?" She asked her adventrous six year old.
Phoenix walked back to his mother and gave her a sloppy kiss on the cheek and a hug, both of which Olivia returned.
"How was your day, honey?"
Phoenix shrugged his shoulders. "Ok, I guess. Can I go now?"
Olivia sighed. "Sure, buddy," she said and watched him walk out of the living room.
As her little man grew, Olivia noticed that he was becoming more and more distant toward her. She remembered when he was Keannah's age, he did exactly the same as her. Always wanted hugs, kisses and to be carried everywhere.
Was Keannah going to do the same? Was she going to grow distant toward her too?"
Olivia rubbed her exhausted face before getting up and walking in to the kitchen to see Keannah stirring the spaghetti sauce with her father's help. Olivia thought it was the cutest sight.
"I guess I'm not needed," Olivia whispered, hoping her husband didn't hear her before heading toward the stairs.
Elliot did hear her clearly although it was soft. He turned off the stove and walked toward Olivia, whispering something in Keannah's ear.
Keannah nodded and smiled in response.
Elliot wrapped his free arm around his wife's waist and made sure Keannah could reach her mother's ear.
"We wuv you, mama. You bootiful," the toddler whispered in her mother's ear, like it was a delicate secret.
Olivia smiled and turned around to face her husband and baby girl.
"Thank you, baby. I love you yoo," she whispered before planting a soft kiss on Keannah's cheek and then on Elliot's lips. "I love you," she mouthed.
"I love you too," he mouthed back. "Dinner's done."
"Ok," Olivia replied before calling upstairs to the older kids as Elliot placed Keannah in her high chair.

That night found all the kids all tucked up in bed, sound asleep and Elliot and Olivia laying in bed, talking.
"Honey, are you ok? You're tense," Elliot whispered as he massaged her sore back.
"Yeah, El. I'm fine, just a little tired," she replied and yawned.
Elliot stopped massaging her back and rubbed her arm before giving her a kiss. "Night, Livvie," he whispered and wrapped his arms around her, delicately.
"Night, El," Olivia replied before goiing to sleep.
Tomorrow was going to be a very long physically and mentally demanding day, Olivia just knew it.
