Bliss can't last forever. Our five beautiful days in paradise were eventually over. Back to New York's worst offenders we go.
After a week or two, we get back into the groove of things. One morning at the precinct I watch Fin pour some coffee into his mug. Then I smell it. The once loved scent now smells vile. I run to the bathroom and empty the contents of my stomach into the toilet bowl.
"Hey Case?" I hear Olivia call.
"Yeah?" I answer as I exit the stall
"You okay?" she asks
"Yeah I've been feeling gross all morning. I'm fine"
"Sure?"
"Yeah"
We leave the bathroom and Elliot gives me that overprotective glare of his. I insist that I'm fine, but I know he's skeptical.
A week later I'm sitting in my bathroom looking at the counter. I'm deep in thought when I hear the door open.
"Case?" He calls.
"In the bathroom" I call back. "Come here"
"Yes? He says from the hallway.
"Okay, so I was 4 days late which I haven't been since I was a freshman so-"
"Late for what?"
"My period Elliot" I say. Jeese he can be dumb sometimes.
"Oh." He says a little shocked and confused.
"Yeah" I reply while trying to read his face. He'll be happy , won't he? After all, we talked about this. He said he wanted kids. "So I decided to take a test. Well, I wasn't going to go off of the word of just one test, so…"
"So?" He asks "Are you…"
I pull him into the bathroom and show him the five blue plus signs. He turns and looks at me. Is he mad? He engulfs me into a huge hug. I hug him back, relieved.
"Casey!" He says excitedly, "We're going to be parents!" Have I ever seen him so excited? I don't think so.
"Yeah, we are" I say with a smile of my own spreading across my face.
The smile is gone the next morning while I violently thrown up.
"Case? I have to get going. I'll see you later, okay?"
"yep" I say between barfs. This, I hate. The idea of a little me and Elliot, I love. So I'll put up with it.
I arrive at the precinct with warrant in hand two hours later.
"Good morning all" I say with a bright smile
"Well aren't we peppy" Olivia says. "What got into you?"
"Elliot, I'm guessing" Munch replies, earning him a slap from Fin.
"No", I correct him, "A baby" I say with a huge smile. Elliot and I had decided to tell everyone today when it felt right, and now did.
Olivia almost spit coffee all over her DD5's. "You're pregnant?" She asks. I nod. "Casey! Congratulations!" she says as she gets up and hugs me. Munch and Fin congratulate us, too. Then I get a whiff of Olivia's coffee, and… back to the bathroom I go. The bathroom soon became an often destination of mine, between barfing trips and constant peeing.
Two Months Later…
I have an ultrasound today. Elliot and I were going to find out the gender of the baby together, but he got called to a crime scene. I'm fine with that- I knew what to expect when I married him. It's so worth it.
"Alright Mrs. Stabler, are we ready to find out the gender?" My OBG/YN asks. I nod eagerly in reply. After a few moves of the control, she looks over to me.
"Sorry, hun, your baby's curled up nice and snug in there. Unless he or she moves around before he or she is born, we won't know."
"That's okay" I say, a little disappointed. But surprises are fun, so it's fine."

"Hey, El, you home?" I call while I open the door.
"Yeah, how'd it go?"
"Baby's curled up so they don't know gender"
"That's ok. We can paint his or her room yellow or green or even red, something neutral"
I give him a kiss on the cheek. "You are just… perfect"
"Yeah, you don't deserve me" he says playfully. I give him a playful slap on the arm. He wraps his arms around the little bump in my stomach.
"Casey Jana Stabler, I will always love you" He says as he kisses me.
"Eww, don't use my weird Czech middle name" I say to him. "Speaking of names, let's talk about some over dinner. I bought those Mexican fajita things they sell down at the international grocery store, and some fresh pineapple shavings to put inside them with the marshmallows. Actually, you might want to make your own dinner" I say with a laugh.
Half an hour later I sit on the couch with Elliot over our separate dinners. We decided to talk boy names first.
"How about… Richard?" Elliot suggests.
"I don't want our kid to be called a dick" I say with a smile. "How about… Matthew?"
"Ehhh, a little over done. Dylan?"
"Maybe… Anthony?" I say blurting out a random name.
"Thanks I forgot how Italian we both are" he says with a wink.
"Ok, ok. So how about…. Peter?"
"Maybe"
We discuss baby names for another hour. In the end, we come up with a list.
"Ok, so if it's a boy, then we name him either Aiden, Collin, Conner, Liam or James." Elliot says. I nod in agreement.
"And If it's a girl, it's either Jane, Bridget, Sophia, Shea, Bree, Kathleen, or Isabelle."
"Yep" he agrees with a smile.
