Well, I promised a new chapter and I'm gonna deliver. However, and I'm sad to say, this story is really coming to an end. I have about one or two more chapters to work on and then I'll be finished. In the meantime, please take the time and read 'Running From The Devil', especially the last chapter I put in the other day. Believe me, you don't wanna miss it.

And, one more thing, are you just as excited as I am for the upcoming episode this Tuesday?! I still can't believe what I saw when I saw the preview. God, could we finally get what we wanted for so long? I really, really hope so! Dick Wolf, we're waiting over here!

Enjoy and happy reading!

Lots of love, hugs and kisses from your resident writer and friend, Nina!

"God, this hurts so bad," Olivia cried as she was going through labor.

"Remember to take deep breaths, okay?" Elliot encouraged her.

She shot him a death look. "None of this would be happening if you hadn't knocked me up, you idiot!"

"You weren't complaining, gorgeous," he sassed.

She squeezed his hand hard, making him wince in pain. "Shut up! This is all your fault! You're never gonna touch me again! Never again will you put your hands on me! Hell, if I have my way, you're getting fixed!"

"That's what they all say," he joked. She just glared at him some more.

"You asshole! Don't you see how much pain I'm in?!" she screamed.

He leaned over and kissed her forehead gently. "Everything's gonna be okay, baby. Just think about holding our baby when he/she is born."

"You better be right!" she yelled.

Elliot just sighed. God, he didn't know how he managed to get through when Kathy was giving birth, but now, he just wanna sleep. However, that proved to be out of the question when Olivia woke him up and told him her water broke and she was going into labor. He damn neared broke ever single law in the book trying to get her to the hospital because he knew she wasn't about to give birth in the car. However, everything will change once he holds their beautiful creation in his arms.

Another contraction hit, making Olivia squeeze his hand so hard, she damn neared broke it. He did everything he could to not scream at the top of his lungs, but, man it was hard. He hoped and prayed that their child will be born before it was all said and done.

So now, it's been 20 hours and 27 minutes since Olivia started going into labor. The Stabler kids were all waiting in the lobby, tired and bored out of their minds. It won't be long before the rest of the gang started showing up.

"If this baby don't come out within the next 2 minutes, I'm gonna go in and pull it out myself!" she snapped.

He just kept kissing her forehead gently. "Don't worry, sweetheart. I'm sure it won't be long now."

"Where's the damn doctor?!" Olivia screamed.

"She'll be here," he assured her. God, he was doing everything he can to calm her down, but she just got angrier and angrier.

Moments later, Doctor Amanda Cooper strolled in, holding a clipboard in her arms. She was a sweet, friendly doctor who specializes in delivery and giving proper care to families, which wasn't surprising since she was a married mother of two herself.

"How's the patient?" Amanda quipped.

"Just peachy!" Olivia snapped.

"Let me check to see how far along are you," Amanda said as she leaned down and put two fingers inside of Olivia. After several seconds, she stood right back up.

"You're almost ready for delivery. You're about eight centimeters dilated," Amanda informed them.

"Eight centimeters?! Are you kidding me?! I'm ready to give birth now!!" Olivia screamed and screamed.

"I've been doing everything I can to calm her down," Elliot told the doctor.

"Olivia, would you like something for the pain?" Amanda asked softly.

"I don't care! I just want this baby out of me!" Olivia cried.

Meanwhile, Kathleen and Maureen were sitting in the lobby, reading magazines while Dickie and Lizzie were in the cafeteria getting something to eat. They could hear Olivia screaming from a mile away, which made them cringe. God, they wondered was their mother like this when she had them.

"I hope she's okay," Maureen whispered.

"Me, too. God, can you imagine what Mom was going through when she had us? And what about the twins? From what I heard, she nearly killed Dad," Kathleen huffed.

Maureen smiled. "But, think about it; all of it will be worth when our little brother or sister is born."

"I know and I can't wait to meet him/her. I'm telling you; if it's a girl, I'm gonna teach her how to wrap Dad around her finger," Kathleen beamed.

"Just like we did to him, right?" Maureen joked.

"Reen, if Mom hadn't left, do you think she and Dad would still be together?" Kathleen asked curiously.

Maureen pondered that question for a second. She couldn't help but wonder what would've happened if Kathy didn't take off with the other man, leaving Elliot and the family behind. She wondered what would've happened if Elliot was Eli's father. She wonder what would've happened if he didn't have these strong feelings for Olivia. Would they still be a one big happy family? Would they still have those family outings together, have breakfast, lunch and dinner together? Would they still go on family vacations?

"To tell you the truth, I don't think so. Mom and Dad's been having problems for the last few years. I think they're better off apart. However, I was devastated when Mom took off with the other man and I was even more upset that we're never gonna see Eli grow up. And, I've never seen Dad more happy in his life. Olivia's the best thing that ever happened to him," Maureen explained.

"I know. I was just curious, that's all," Kathleen said sadly.

Maureen reached over and wrapped her arms around her sister. "Hey, everything's gonna be okay. And look on the bright side, our family will be expanding if Liv doesn't kill Daddy first."

"That would be tragic," Kathleen laughed.

"Well, I'm heading out," Munch said as he gathered his things from his desk.

"Are you going to the hospital? If you are, I can go with you. I just talked to Melinda and she, Casey and Alex are going," Fin told his partner.

"Who died?" Munch quipped.

"No one, you idiot. Olivia's pregnant, remember? I'm guessing she's in labor and she's about to kill Elliot," Fin joked.

"Where's Don? I wonder if he's coming with us. After all, that's his little girl," Munch said, laughing.

Fin looked over his shoulder and noticed that door to the CO office was closed. He turned back in his seat and shook his head.

"Your guess is as good as mine," Fin said softly.

"Well, I'm out. I can see you have a lot of work to do. I'll see you later," Munch said as he turned on his heel and left, leaving Fin to grumble because he wished he could leave. But, he has a lot of work to do and he couldn't get out of it even if he tried.

A few minutes later, Cragen stepped out of his office with his jacket in his hands. He looked over and found just Fin sitting at his desk doing mounds and mounds of paperwork. They were the only two in the bullpen.

"Fin, are you going home?" Don asked curiously.

"No. When I get done, I'm going to the hospital. Olivia's in labor," Fin reminded him.

"What?! Are you serious?! How come no one told me?!" Don asked in a shocking tone.

"As you can see, it's been pretty busy around here. That's why Munch was able to leave before me," Fin quipped softly.

"Well, you can drop everything. We're going to the hospital!" Don declared.

"Really?! Are you sure?!" Fin asked in a shocking tone.

"Why not? It's not like your paperwork is gonna up and disappear. You can finish working on them tomorrow. We're going to the hospital," Don declared.

Fin dropped everything and grabbed his jacket. He and Cragen walked out of the precinct, anxious to meet the new generation of Stabler-Benson union.

Elliot came out of Olivia's locker room, looking exhausted and deliriously happy. He didn't think it would happen, but after going through hours of having his hand being bandaged up and having to endured Olivia yelling and screaming, he knew it was all worth it. He couldn't be more happier in his life right now.

He looked over his shoulder and smiled at the sight of his children, Cragen, Fin, Munch, Lake, Alex and Casey standing in the lobby, anxiously waiting to see if Olivia and the baby was okay.

"Hey, come with me. I have something to show you," Elliot called out to the clan.

He couldn't help but laugh when he heard footsteps following right behind him. When they got to the nursery, Elliot was already standing there, beaming with pride at the sight of all the children squirming around in their respective beds.

"Well, did Olivia have a boy or a girl?" Alex quipped.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would love to introduce to you, Heather Janelle Stabler..." Elliot Started to say.

"Awe, she looks so freaking adorable," Casey cooed when he found her.

"Danielle Felicia Stabler..." Elliot continued on.

"What?! Olivia gave birth to twins?! Man, Elliot, you were one busy guy," Munch joked.

"Anthony Hamilton Stabler..." Elliot mouthed off.

"Triplets?! Damn, Elliot!" Fin shrieked.

Elliot just smiled. "And Elijah Ryan Stabler. That's right; Olivia and I are the proud parents of quadruples."

"No wonder we heard Olivia scream while we were in the lobby; she must've been in so much pain," Maureen said, smiling.

"It doesn't matter; besides Eli, I have more brothers!" Dickie beamed, which made everyone laugh.

"Shall we go visit Olivia?" Elliot suggested with a grin.

A few minutes later, Olivia's face lit up when she saw now only Elliot walking in, but he came with an army of people who wanted to see her.

"How are you feeling, baby?" he asked as he leaned down and kissed her forehead gently.

"Tired, but I'm feeling good. Did you see our babies?" Olivia asked groggily.

"I didn't think you would carry four children, Liv. No wonder you're called 'Bad Ass' Benson," Casey giggled.

"Hey, I didn't think it would happen to me at all. Elliot didn't give me one miracle baby; he gave me four beautiful babies. I can't believe it happened to me," Olivia said, tears started falling from her eyes.

Elliot reached over and wiped the tears away from her eyes. "Believe it, honey, because it has happened. You're an amazing person and I can't think of a better person to be a mother than you. And, you're amazing with my children. We're now a one big happy family."

"That we are. I love you, Stabler," she told him, smiling.

"And I love you, Benson," he replied with a grin.

"We love all of you!" the others declared as they gathered around the bed and held each other.

Life was good. Really good.

Coming up in the next chapter: Three years later, life in the Stabler home is anything but ordinary! Stay tuned!
