Has it been a really long time or what?! I am so sorry that it took so long to get this posted. Between the huge writer's block I was having and then being busy as all hell lately with end of the school year things for the kids I haven't even had time to crack my notebook.

Here you go!!

DISCLAIMER: Obviously they're not mine.

"Well that went well." Olivia whispered to Elliot.

"I told you it would." He replied, smiling.

"So when is the little bambina due?" Lizzie asked.

"I still have to go to see a doctor, but my best guess would be early September." Olivia answered.

"What makes you think it's a girl anyway?"

"Duh Daddy! Look around the table." Lizzie answered.

"Hey, I do have a son!" He retorted.

"The key word there El being a." Olivia laughed.

The girls joined in laughing along with the joke.

"Alright, everyone finish up eating. I'm sure everyone's got homework to do."

The whole family finished eating their dinner and dessert that the kids had made before they split up and headed to their bedrooms to do homework. A few moments later Dickie came walking back into the kitchen where his parents were.

"Umm…Mom?" He asked, obviously nervous.

"What's up RJ?" Olivia asked as she turned away from loading the dishwasher to face the boy who'd become her son.

"I have to do a report and speech for my Public Speaking class, and uh…I need your help." He managed to explain.

"Help me load the dishwasher and then we can go work on it in you room, okay?"

Dickie nodded in agreement and helped Olivia finish loading the dishwasher before the pair headed towards his bedroom. Once inside the room Dickie sat at his desk while Olivia sat on the bed.

"So what's this about?" She asked.

"The topic is 'The Most Influential Man or Woman in Your Life,' the boys have to write about the woman and the girls, the man." He explained.

Unable to help it, a lone tear began tracing down Olivia's cheek.

"Are you sure you want to do your report and speech about me?"

"Of course Mom. Why wouldn't I? You have done so much for us in the past eight years that you've been Dad's partner. Not to mention all you've done for everyone through your work."

"Alright, well let's get cracking then."

For the next two hours they stayed cooped up in Dickie's room hard at work while the other children worked on their homework and Elliot watched some TV.

Finally they had finished, Dickie very happy with the final result. He left his bedroom and began calling to his father and sisters.

"Dad! Maureen! Lizzie! Kat! Come in the living room." He yelled.

Unaware of why they were being called, the rest of the family joined Dickie and now Olivia in the living room.

"What's going on?" Kathleen asked.

"RJ wants to practice his speech with everyone." Olivia explained. "Go ahead." She told him.

"Okay. The Most Influential Woman in My Life is my mom, Olivia Benson. She wasn't always my mom but I would never trade her for any other. Not only is she my mom but she is a detective with the Manhattan Special Victims Unit, my dad's partner to be exact. Everyday she comes face to face with the lowest scum of the city, and everyday she fights for justice for the victims. My mom has been through so much in her life and it has made her this incredibly strong person. She has inspired me and many others to want to help those in need, and to try and make the world a safer place. Those are just a few of the reasons why my mom, Olivia Benson, is the most influential woman in my life."

"Dickie, that was great." Elliot complimented.

"Thanks Dad. You know I feel the same about you and all you've done, right? Mr. Thompson just made the boys write about a woman and the girls a man. He thought it'd be more challenging this way."

"Great job, one question though. Is your speech supposed to be longer?" Lizzie asked.

"No, our reports are longer but the speeches are supposed to be just a bit of what the report says." He explained.

"I think it was perfect!" Olivia said as she pulled him into a hug.

"Us too." Maureen and Kathleen agreed.

"Well, if everyone's done with their homework I think it's time for bed." Elliot told them all.

No one would argue as they all knew that meant it was just time to shower and go to their rooms for the night. No one actually had to go to sleep at 8pm. Obeying their father's wishes the four Stabler kids got up from their seats and headed toward their rooms.

"Goodnight Mom. Goodnight Dad." They all called back.

"What do you say we got jump in the shower and then go lie down and watch some TV together?" Elliot suggested when it was just he and Olivia left in the room.

"Sounds great to me." She replied.

The two walked out of the living room and up the stairs to their bedroom. Once they got to their room they both began undressing for their shower.

"I still can't believe our baby's in there." Elliot said as he stroked over Olivia's uterus.

"I know, it's unbelievable."

They finished undressing and walked into the adjoining bathroom together. As the both stood under the warm water letting it caress their bodies Elliot reached for Olivia's bath sponge and body wash and began slowly and gently cleansing her.

"So, I was thinking, tomorrow I really should call and make a doctor's appointment." Olivia told Elliot.

"Just let me know when and where, I want to be there for everything." He said.

As Elliot ran the bath sponge over Olivia's left breast her body twitched.

"Oh God baby, I'm so sorry. I didn't even think about you having sore breasts yet." He apologized, kissing each one with a feather soft kiss.

"It's not that at all." She blushed.

"Oh really?" He smirked.

Knowing that he must have turned her on then, Elliot quickly tossed the sponge aside and began running his hands down Olivia's body straight to her core.

"Mmm…El…" She moaned as he began teasing her clit.

"You like that, huh?" He asked.

"Oh yeah, you know I do." She managed to get out.

Elliot slipped two of his fingers in her entrance and pumped them in and out while continuing to rub her clit with his thumb. As Olivia struggled to remain standing in their shower he knew she was close. The other thing Olivia Benson was though was stubborn as hell.

"Let go Livvie!" Elliot growled.

"Not…Oh God…not until you're in me."

"I already am." He chuckled, increasing the power of his ministrations.

"Bastard! Not what I meant." She grumbled as she reached to stroke his growing cock.

"Oh, you want that part of me in you. All you had to do was ask Livvie."

Elliot removed his fingers from inside Olivia, braced himself against the shower wall with his right hand and used his now free again left hand to guide his penis into his girlfriend's tight wet passage. Both let out a moan of contentment as he entered her.

"Now that's more like it." She whispered.

She bucked her hips up towards him almost as if to say 'let's get this show on the road.' Taking the hint, he started thrusting in and out of her, deep hard and fast. There was no time for making love now. As soon as her walls began clamping down around him Elliot knew that. They both were so close to the edge. She had already been there and he had joined her almost immediately.

"Now will you stop being so stubborn and cum for me?" He moaned.

"With you Sweetheart."

Within moments Olivia was giving herself over to the orgasm that had seemingly been knocking at her door. As soon as she did, Elliot followed behind spilling his seed deep in her. Only then did the pair manage to notice the water had long gone cold.

"We should get out of here." Elliot said as he turned the water off.

"I think we forgot the getting clean part of showering." She laughed.

"There'll be time in the morning."

The pair got out of the shower and grabbed three towels. One for each of their bodies and one for Olivia's hair. After drying their bodies off they walked into the bedroom to get dressed. Elliot slipping on some boxer briefs and flannel pajama pants while Olivia put on some panties, flannel pajama pants, and a tank top. When she was dressed she left to blow dry her hair while Elliot found a movie for them.

"So what are we watching?" Olivia asked as she walked back in the bedroom once she was done.

"It's probably stupid, but I thought maybe you'd like to watch some home movies of the kids when they were little. Kind of see what we've got to look forward to." He said, blushing slightly.

"El, I would love to!" She exclaimed.

Olivia climbed in bed next to Elliot and snuggled up to him as he hit the play button on the remote for their DVD/VCR combo. A few minutes in Olivia suddenly spoke up.

"I need popcorn!" She called out.

"Alright." Elliot responded, turning off the movie and starting to get up.

"No, I've got it."

She climbed out of bed and started down the hallway. Unbeknownst to Elliot she stopped at Maureen and Kathleen's room, and Dickie's room, and finally Lizzie's room. At each stop she invited that person or people to come watch the movies as well. Once everyone had been invited, Olivia went down to the kitchen, popped six mini bags of microwave popcorn, and threw them all in a huge bowl before going upstairs.

"It seems our bed was over run by these people claiming their mother had invited them in." Elliot chuckled as Olivia walked in with the popcorn.

"I thought they'd like to watch too." She explained.

The six managed to squeeze on Elliot and Olivia's big California King sized bed and Elliot started the movie again. As the movie started up an eight year old Maureen could be seen sitting at the dining room table. In front of her was a big pink cake with Barbie on it. She was surrounded on both sides by an assortment of friends and relatives including a pouting four year old Kathleen.

"Oh God, I remember that birthday!" Maureen laughed. "That was like two months after the twins were born. Kat spent the whole party pouting because everyone was paying attention to me and the twins."

"I seem to remember someone else doing that when everyone was paying attention to Kat when she was a baby." Elliot joked.

"Don't tell me the two of you are going to pout when the new baby gets here too." Olivia teased the twins.

Just then on the movie as Maureen had blown out her candles on the screen and everyone cheered for her Kathleen could be seen getting up from the table and running. Elliot, who was obviously doing camera duty as well, following behind.

Halfway up the steps Elliot fell dropping the camera which was then picked up by his brother John who finished filming.

"Way to go Dad!" Dickie said laughing. "It's a good thing it wasn't one of us you were carrying."

The family continued to sit there and watch the rest of that tape and then two more, one from when Maureen was brought home from the hospital and another showing Christmas when the kids were three, seven, and eleven years old. Olivia couldn't help but notice that throughout the movies she never once saw Kathy. Even the day Maureen came home from the hospital, John had been filming while Elliot carried Maureen in. She knew she would have to ask Elliot about that later.

"Alright, I think it's about time for bed." Elliot declared after noticing it was after midnight.

All four kids let out a groan.

"I need my sleep. We can watch more tomorrow." Olivia told them.

They agreed and all reluctantly left their parents' bedroom.

"So, which of the girls do you think she'll look like?" Olivia asked as she crawled under the covers with Elliot.

"Maybe he'll look like Dickie." Elliot smirked.

"I don't know, I feel like we're having a daughter."

"Guess we'll just have to wait and see."

Elliot pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head.

"Thank you." He whispered.

"You're welcome, though I'm not sure what for."

"For having my baby, for helping RJ with his speech, for being the mother to my children that they've apparently longed for for years." He told her.

"He'll kill you if he hears you call him that."

"I know, my kids and their 'Liv nicknames', very protective bunch they are with them." He said laughing.

"Speaking of their mother…" She began.

"I assume you're not referring to yourself." He stated, noticing the serious tone she was taking.

"Not this time, no. El, where was Kathy in those home movies? You can't just edit someone out, at least not a normal person."

Olivia hated that she was asking him. She hated that she was prying into his past. But a comment Maureen had made on their trip back in December was forcing her to know.

"She was working. She used to say that she scheduled herself opposite me as often as she could so that one of us could be with the kids at all times. Unfortunately that meant missing birthdays and holidays sometimes."

"El, those were her kids' special days though! Not to mention when her own daughter had just been born!" Olivia yelled.

"Honey, I know." He started, trying to calm her. "I was so caught up in my daughter when Maureen came home and then by the time the kids got a little older I was so involved in things with work at that time that I was just thankful to not be missing those times myself. I believed her when she said she'd celebrated with them earlier."

"When did you find out?" She asked.

"On the cruise." He whispered. "I know I was a shitty father Liv. I know I owed it to them to be there more for them. I just assumed that Kathy was putting in double time to make up for it."

Just then Olivia noticed a tear slip down Elliot's cheek. She couldn't remember the last time, if ever, that she'd seen him cry.

"I swear to you Livvie, I'm going to be there for everything in this baby's life. I will be some damn attentive to their every want and need. To all five children." He sobbed.

"Sweetheart, I know you will. I've seen you everyday the past year with them. I promise you, this baby will know the love of her mother. The love her brother and sisters have come to know in the past year."

Olivia couldn't keep her own tears at bay any longer. The two cried for their older children and all they had missed out on in their lives thus far. They cried happy tears for their child to come, knowing that if they worked at it they could give that child everything he or she could desire.
