Okay, so I know I have other stories I should be updating, but when you're up all night, and can't sleep, your mind wanders. I just want to get this out of my head, see if I can take it anywhere from here.

A few things you should know first: Elliot and Kathy are seperated, awaiting a divorce. Eli has been born, and is now around one and a half. The twins are about seventeen. Kathleen is around 22 and Maureen is around 24. Granted, these are probably not the right ages, but oh well. Also, Casey and Alex both work as the ADAs for Special Victims (yeah I just couldn't pick who to put, so I thought might as well have the whole gang).

Well, on to the story:

I DO NOT OWN LAW AND ORDER:SVU OR ITS CHARACTERS; DICK WOLF DOES :(

Detective Olivia Benson sat at her desk, bored to death. It had been an extremely slow day, and the fact that her partner wasn't there to keep her entertained, made it worse. She looked around. The precinct was empty. Munch was at home, as was Fin, trying to make the most of their time off. Cragen was at a meeting with some of his superiors, while Elliot was spending some much deserved time with his children. Olivia didn't feel like going back to her empty apartment, especially not when she could be catching up on old paperwork, but even after she had finished, she didn't feel like going home.

She sat, looking at the empty desk across from her, wondering when she would see Elliot again. She knew it was selfish, to want to be with him, especially when he was having fun with his children, that he rarely got to have time with, but she couldn't help it.

She was in love with him, there was no doubt about that. Everyone in the precinct knew, including the Special Victim's two ADAs, Casey Novak, and Alex Cabot. However, this didn't mean Olivia was going to scream how much she felt for her partner, at the top of her lungs.

Olivia sighed, taking in the messy desk before her. It had been a busy few weeks, with cases coming in every other day. She had few times where she was actually able to sit at her desk, and the last thing on her mind was keeping it organized. She looked at the clock on the wall. 2:53 pm. She shrugged to herself, figuring now was a perfect time to clean up the mess that was her desk. She stood from her chair, quickly discarding the take-out containers left from the night before. She quickly stacked all the files on her desk, but curiousity got the best of her, as she began to look through the copies of old cases.

It wasn't until she came across one particular case, did she actually stop, and take the time to read the file. It was when the unit was called to help find a tank of frozen embryos. This case had really been tough on her, considering how she had always wanted a baby. She remembered the conversation she had had with one of the women, who's eggs were in that tank.

Olivia sat across from Eva Sintzel. She didn't know what to say, I mean, how would you be able to tell someone that their only chance of having children, was mere hours from being gone.

Eva broke the silence. "Do you have kids?"

Olivia looked up from the table. "Uh, no" she said, slightly surprised at the question.

"Don't you want them?" she asked, trying so desperately not to cry.

Olivia nodded, thinking of how desperately she wanted children. "Ah, yes I do, very much." Eva looked at Olivia, confused. "Then what are you waiting for?" she whispered, looking at the detective.

Olivia looked at Eva. She was right, what was she waiting for? Truth was, she was waiting for a specific man, the only man she would ever think to have children with, and unfortunately for her, that man was married, and her partner.

Olivia sighed, as she continued to read the file, however the more she read, the more she thought about her conversation with Elliot in the hallway, when she told him about how she had applied for adoption.

"Elliot, a few months ago I looked into adoption." Olivia looked at Elliot, waiting for his reaction. She was tired, and this case was getting to her. The last thing she needed, was for her best friend to disapprove of her decision.

Elliot gave her a weak smile. "Liv, that's great."

Olivia shook her head and sighed. "They turned me down." She looked up, and saw her partner's smile slowly fade.

Olivia sighed. It had been about two years since she had been turned down from the adoption agency, ruining her chances of having a child. She had pretty much given up on the thought about having a baby, and had learned to accept the fact that she would be alone the rest of her life.

Olivia continued to think about the old case, unaware of who had walked into the precinct. "What are you doing?" he asked, looking over her shoulder at the copy of the case reports.

Olivia jumped in her seat. She quickly shut the file and slammed it on the desk, making sure to get it away from Elliot. She turned to face her partner, her hand over her heart, trying to calm it down from Elliot's recent scare. "You scared me" she said, slapping him in the arm.

Elliot let out a small laugh, as he walked over and sat on her desk. "Sorry about that. What were you doing with old case reports?"

Olivia looked at the floor, trying not to catch his eyes. She didn't want to tell him about how desperate she was to have a baby, after all, she was pretty sure everyone in the unit knew the reason she hadn't had one of her own yet. "Just cleaning out my desk" she said, smiling to herself. Technically it wasn't a lie, so she didn't feel that bad saying it to him. "Why aren't you with your kids?"

Elliot sighed, and Olivia could tell he was smiling. "Oh, my kids are in the car. They're all waiting for me to bring you home to have dinner with us."

Olivia looked up and laughed. "El, I can't do that, not when it's your time with your kids."

Elliot got up, and grabbed her hand, pulling her out of her chair. "Come on Liv. You know damn well, that they, or I, won't take no for an answer."

Olivia rolled her eyes, as she grabbed her jacket, and followed him out of the squadroom. At times he was more stubborn than her. The two walked out of the precinct, and over to Elliot's SUV, only to be greeted by four happy faces, and one that was, well, not so happy. "Hi Liv" the twins shouted simultaneously.

Olivia waved to them, before getting into the passenger seat. "Dad, what's Olivia doing? I thought this was our family time?" Kathleen asked from the backseat, glaring at Olivia the entire time.

Olivia glared at Elliot, feeling stupid for agreeing to come. "You said they wanted me to come" she whispered, trying to fight back the feeling of embarrassment.

Elliot put his hand on her knee, before nodding. "They do, Katie's just being a drama queen, as usual" he whispered back, before glancing at his second eldest in the rearview mirror. "Olivia's going to have dinner with us, like we all agreed."

Kathleen rolled her eyes, and groaned. "I never agreed to have dinner with the whor-"

"Shut up Katie" Maureen yelled from behind her, slapping the back of her sister's head. She looked up and saw Olivia looking at the car floor. "Glad you could join us Olivia. I really missed seeing you."

Olivia smiled. It had been a while since she had seen Maureen, due to her always being busy at college. It was nice to see her back and hanging with the family. "I missed you too Maureen."

"Missd, Livia" Eli said excitedly, from his carseat.

Olivia turned in her seat so that she could see the small boy. "Hi buddy" she said, tickling his small leg. She listened to him laugh, and watched as he squirmed in his carseat, as she continued to tickle his tiny body. Hearing him laugh like he hadn't a care in the world, made Olivia smile, as she realized that she didn't care what Kathleen thought of her at the moment. She had the approval of four out of five Stabler children, and that was all she needed to make the night bearable.

Okay, so tell me what you think?

Should I continue? or should I just stop there?

I know it's the first chapter, and it's kind of hard to tell if this story is going to go anywhere good, but I hope I'm able to continue this. I gotta a good feeling about it, but I don't know, that might just been the antsy feeling from that red bull :)

I love them reviews :)
