Olivia Stabler looked down at the newborn baby girl she was holding. She couldn't believe that this little girl was hers and Elliot's to love and cherish for the rest of her life.
"Hey Liv." Elliot greeted, coming into the room and sat down next to his beautiful wife.
"Hey El." Olivia greeted him back, rocking her baby.
"Any names picked out yet?" Elliot asked, motioning that he wanted to hold their daughter. Olivia handed the baby to him, reminding her husband to mind the baby's head. Elliot just rolled his eyes and cooed at his little girl.
"I was thinking Rebecca Lynn." Olivia spoke up, lying back in the chair.
"Beautiful name for such a beautiful baby." Elliot told her, slowly rocking his new daughter in his arms.
Two days later, both mother and daughter could come home, so Elliot was excited about it. He called everyone at the station to come down for a meet and greet.
Upon arriving at their new house, Elliot saw the driveway full of cars of all shapes and models. Helping Olivia and Rebecca out of the car, he walked with them to the house and opened the door. The house was quiet with all the lights turned off.
"Hello?" Elliot called, turning on the lights.
"SURPRISE! WELCOME HOME ELLIOT, OLIVIA AND REBECCA!" Fin, Munch, Captain Cragen, George Huang, Casey, Miranda and others shouted, popping out from their hiding places. Just then, Rebecca began crying. Olivia soothed her, telling her that these were friends and there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Sorry. We didn't mean to scare you like that." Casey apologized, guiding the new family to the kitchen. A chocolate cake with the words 'Welcome Home Stabler Family' written in white icing was sitting on the table, waiting to be eaten. She cut the cake and put the pieces on paper plates. Olivia and Elliot ended up sharing a piece, which they enjoyed.
"Thanks so much, you guys." Olivia thanked them, watching Rebecca being passed from one person to the next. Elliot got out the camera and instantly began taking pictures. Miranda offered to take a group shot of everyone, seeing as she hated having her picture taken.
Once everyone left and Rebecca was down for the night, Olivia and Elliot got ready for bed and thought about their lives not only in the present, but in the future, too.
