A/N: Here is the last chapter. I hope you enjoy and if enough people ask, I might even write another story to follow on to this. Please read and review. Oh and you will see that Elliot's kids are different ages. I thought it would work better for the story if they were a bit younger.

A year drifted by quickly for the Stabler family. It was Christmas time again. Aurora was now fifteen months old and had her loving parents running around after her everyday. She'd also decided to draw lines on a wall in crayon, a few days ago. Her parents couldn't believe how fast their baby girl was growing up.
Elliot's kidnappers, Andrew, Adrian, Jesse and Luke Sullivan; four brothers and Melissa and Vanessa Hall were two cousins; They were all found guilty of abduction and holding a police officer against their will. They were sentenced to ten-fifteen years, with the possibility of parole after seven years. Leaving the baby boys in the custody of the state.
Elliot and Olivia had had a big chat about the boys, wondering if they'd be able to handle three infants, but after long discussions, they had made the decision that they couldn't. They needed to focus on their own family.

The blue eyed man woke and turned his head to his left side, to see his wife wide awake. She was lying there on her back, rubbing her rounded six month pregnant belly. Their second child had been conceived the first night that they had made love after his return. It had taken a few months for his libido to return.
"How's our baby boy doing this morning?" He asked and gave Olivia a kiss on the cheek.
Olivia smiled and looked at her husband as she continued to stroke her belly.
"He's good. He woke me up about half an hour ago, kicking."
Elliot put his hand on his wife's bump, sheltering their son. "Baby, it's only 6:15 now. You've been awake since 5:45.....Oh, I see why he woke you. He's fiesty in there this morning, maybe 'cause he's in there this Christmas and he wants presents," Elliot said with a laugh.
Olivia put her other hand over her lover's. "I've thought of another name for him."
"Oh yeah. What's that?"
"Logan."
"Hmmm." Elliot thought about it.
Olivia furrowed her eyebrows. "You don't like it, do you?"
But before Elliot could answer, a tiny girl with messy brown hair ran in. "Mama! Dada! Christmas!
"We've gotta get her a bed, El. She keeps climbing out of that crib and it's not safe," Olivia whispered and sighed.
"I know," Elliot replied, helping Aurora up on to the bed.
"Morning princess," Olivia greeted their fifteen month old as she sat down beside her.
Aurora leaned down with her little ear to her mother's big belly and placed a hand on there too. "Bwova (brother). Christmas," Aurora whispered to her unborn baby brother before lifting up her head and began to gently stroke her mother's belly. She smiled when she felt him move and saw an arm or something move from left to right as he turned over in Olivia's womb.
"Aurora."
Aurora looked up at her mommy with a smile. "Mama?"
Olivia slowly sat up and smiled back. "Can you please stay with dada for a minute? Mama needs to go to the bathroom."
The young girl's smiled faded and a grumpy frown replaced it. "No, Mama, no," she cried and slapped Olivia's belly.
Elliot lifted the moody infant up. "Aurora Dream Stabler," he scolded lightly as Olivia got up off the bed.
"Mama! Mama!" The child cried, reaching out for her mother.
Olivia turned back to Aurora, rubbing her sore back. "Mama will be back in a minute," she assured the child and headed in to the en-suite bathrom, closing the door behind her.
For a minute as she relieved herself, she could still hear Aurora screaming for her and Elliot trying to calm her down but then it went quiet. Worried that something had happened, she quickly finished and ran out as quickly as her pregnant body would let her.
The bedroom was empty, so she went downstairs. The living room was empty also and she panicked even more before finding her husband and daughter in the kitchen, talking.
Elliot was cooking bacon and eggs, while Aurora sat in her high chair at the table, babbling.
Olivia relaxed, seeing that they were fine.
"Hey guys," she said, smiling, as she sat down at the kitchen table.
"Hey baby," Elliot replied and gave her a kiss on the lips before heading back to the stove.
Aurora reached out to her mother, smiling. "Mama."
Olivia kissed Aurora's open hand. "Princess," she whispered before turning to Elliot. "What time are your kids coming, El?"
"After lunch, babe," Elliot replied, serving up the bacon and eggs.

1:30pm came and found Olivia napping on the couch with Aurora beside her with her head resting on her mommy's baby bump. She was so excited that she was going to be a big sister, but Olivia had a feeling that that might all change when the baby arrives.
The door bell chimed waking Aurora but Olivia slept through it. Aurora jumped off the couch and ran to the front door, reaching just as her father did.
"It's your big brothers and sisters, sweetie," he said and picked her up before opening the door.
Maureen, Kathleen, Lizzie, Dickie and Eli walked in with presents.
"Where you want them, daddy?" Maureen asked.
"Just under the tree, but be quiet, Liv's asleep on the couch."
The older kids were quiet as they placed the presents under the tree before they all tip-toed past the sleeping pregnant former detective on the couch and in to the kitchen.
"Our baby brother tiring her out already?" Twenty year old Maureen asked, holding three year old Eli.
Elliot sighed and nodded. "Yeah, she has next to no energy. Doctor said it could be 'cause of her age, but the up side is that she doesn't have gestational diabetes this time," he replied, placing Aurora in her high chair, so he could check the turkey in the oven.
"So this will be the last one, right?" Kathleen asked, rudely.
"Kathleen!" Maureen told off her eighteen year old sister.
"Yes, Kathleen. This baby is the last," her father replied, angrily, as he closed the oven door.
He then saw his pregnant wife standing in the doorway. She was crying and rubbing her belly again.
"Liv!" He called out but she was gone.
"Good one, Kathleen," Maureen and the twins exclaimed in the disbelief.
Elliot picked Aurora up and went upstairs to find Olivia in the master bedroom. She was sitting on the bed, with her back against the headboard as she rubbed her belly, soothing their active son, whom had been the one to wake her again.
Elliot sat down on the bed and placed Aurora down beside Olivia, whom then cuddled in to her mother's side with a tiny hand on her belly, right beside her mommy's bigger one.
"Baby, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you," he apologized.
Olivia put her fingers on her husband's lips to stop him from saying anymore.
"Honey, it wasn't you. I'm very aware that our son is going to be our last child. I'm ok with that. You, Aurora, this little one and your kids are all I need. What Kathleen said hurt a little, but it's my hormones that are all out of whack. I didn't mean to worry you, hon," Olivia said and finished with a feathery light kiss on her love's lips.
The husband and wife were sitting there quietly, in each other's arms, listening to Aurora speak baby talk to her unborn brother, when Elliot thought of the perfect name for their son.
"I have the perfect name for our boy, Livvie," he spoke up suddenly, resting his large hand on Olivia's belly below her's and Aurora's.
The unborn baby was enjoying all the attention and starting kicking again, happily.
"What's that?" Olivia asked, resting her tired head on her husband's shoulder.
"Liam Rylee."
"Perfect," Olivia said with a smile.
"Looks like we're gonna have a baby brother named Liam," Maureen said with a smile as big as her step mother's, effectively startling her father, step mother and half sister. She and her brothers and sisters were standing in the doorway.
"Come in guys," Olivia welcomed them in.
The kids all sat on the bed and put their hands on Olivia's belly to feel Liam kicking away.
The brunette looked around at all the important people in her life and was happy to be herself. Proud to be Olivia Marie Stabler. Mother of Aurora, soon to be mother of Liam, step mother of Maureen, Kathleen, Lizzie, Dickie and Eli and wife of Elliot Stabler.
Life was great.
