Ok, so let me start off by saying now, I'm sorry for the time jumps. I don't like them, but I hate writing filler chapters (because I am horrible at them)

I will, however, try to keep the jumps to a minimum.

Anyway, on with the story!

November 17th

Detective Olivia Benson walked out her doctor's office, and into the cool November breeze. For the past week and a half, she had been feeling a little ill, and due to Elliot's constant nagging, she had gone to see what was wrong with her.

As she buttoned up her coat, she only worried about what her doctor had told her. She was pregnant. Of course, she always wanted a baby, but under different circumstances. She figured she had to tell Elliot, after all, the two had been dating for two months, and he deserved to know what was actually, wrong, with her.

She walked down the streets of Manhattan, deciding that a nice walk would give her time to think. She needed to know how she was going to tell Elliot. She was scared, after all, she wasn't exactly sure if Elliot was, in fact, the father.

While roaming the streets, she thought about everything that had happened the past two months. She had officially made her move on Elliot, and they were now a couple. They had told the kids about their new relationship, and they were all happy for the two, of course, after the inital shock had died down. She thought about her next counseling session, that she and Elliot had been forced to take, and she thought about how she had been raped, in her own apartment.

The walk was shorter than she would have liked, but she was grateful to be out of the cold. As soon as she walked into the bullpen, she could feel the four pair of eyes staring at her. It made her feel uncomfortable, she didn't like having all eyes on her, so she quickly found Elliot, to tell him the news.

"Olivia?" he asked, when she reached his desk. He had been worrying about her all day, and now that she was here, he was eager to know what the doctor said.

"Um, Elliot, can I talk to you." She watched his face, as he sat there, confused. "Alone" she added, when she saw Porter and McKinley listening from the file cabinet.

"Uh, sure" he said, before getting up from his chair, grabbing her hand, and leading her into the cribs. "What did the doctor say?" he asked, when he made sure the door had been completely closed. He turned to face her, and was stunned to see her crying. "Olivia, baby, what's wrong?" He feared the worst. He knew Olivia was a strong woman, after all, the day after she had been raped, she accepted it, so whatever she was crying about, had to have been bad.

"Elliot," she began, wiping her face with her sleeve. She didn't know what his reaction would be when she told him she was pregnant. Would he leave her? After all, they had only been together for a short about of time, and she felt as if she was rushing him into things.

"Olivia, what happened at the doctor's?" He walked up to his crying girlfriend, and wrapped his arms around her, before gently placing a kiss on the crown of her head. He wanted her to know, that no matter what happened, or was going to, he'd be there for him, along with everyone in the squad.

"Elliot, I'm, I'm pregnant."

Olivia buried her head into Elliot's chest and continued to cry, grabbing onto his shirt for comfort. "Liv, a baby? That's great" he said, stroking her hair. When he heard Olivia continue to cry, he pulled away to look her in the eye. "Liv, what's wrong? You're pregnant, that's great news!"

"Elliot, you and I both know that I haven't...been intimate with anyone, other than you, in the past year."

Elliot just nodded. "I know, that's why I'm so happy. You're having a, we're having a baby Liv. What more can I ask for?"

Olivia shook her head, staring at the floor. "Elliot, the last time we had sex, was the first time. El, that was also the night I was-"

Elliot nodded, knowing what she ment. "How far along?"

Olivia sighed. "About 8 weeks" she whispered. "Elliot, I don't know who the father is." Olivia looked at Elliot, the realization that she was probably feeling what her mother had felt so long ago. "El, I can't have my rapist's baby. I, I can't turn into my-"

Without hesitation, Elliot pulled her closer into him, wrapping his arms around her once more. "You will never turn into your mother!" He knew it was going to be tough on her, and she was going to need support. "Olivia, I'm that baby's father, I don't care what happens. As far as anyone is concerned, that baby is mine." He kissed her head, letting her know that he wouldn't leave, and sighed. "I love you Liv."

Olivia took a deep breath. "I love you too El" she said, happy that he would be there for her every step of the way.

The two stayed in the cribs, hugging, for another few minutes, before they decided they needed to go finish their paperwork on their recently closed case. The two walked out, hand-in-hand, debating when to tell everyone their news.


Olivia walked into the morgue, hoping to see Melinda Warner. "Melinda" Olivia called out, searching for the M.E. She had convinced Elliot that she needed to go speak to Warner, alone, saying it was about a case she had been working. That was one of the few times she had lied to him, and she felt horrible about it, but she knew that if she told him the truth, he would become angry and defensive.

Olivia looked around for her friend, before calling out to her again. "Melinda?"

"Olivia?" Olivia turned around, startled to see Warner behind her. "Sorry" she said, when she saw the detective jump.

"It's ok."

Melinda looked at Olivia and smiled. "I didn't call about a case. Is everything alright?" Ever since she knew Olivia had been raped, Warner, along with Casey and Alex, who was risking her life in Witness Protection, to keep in contact with Olivia, made sure they were there for her.

"Melinda, I need to ask you a favor" Olivia said, looking at the floor, scared to make eye contact.

"This is about your rapist, isn't it?" Melinda could tell it had something to do with her rape, or else she wouldn't have left Elliot at the precinct.

Olivia nodded, before looking up. "Melinda, how fast can you get a paternity test done?"

Melinda looked at Olivia, wide-eyed, as she let what her friend say register in her brain. "Olivia are you-"

Olivia nodded, a small smile on her face. "Yes, but, well, I don't know who the father is."

"How far along are you?

"About 8 weeks."

Melinda nodded, realizing what her friend was saying. "I can have one done as soon as the baby is born. It's a longer wait, but at least you won't have to go through the trouble of getting a sample of the baby's DNA while its still inside the womb."

Olivia nodded, before sighing. "I guess. Can you, just, not tell Elliot?"

Melinda nodded. She knew it had to be hard for her, especially having to go through her whole pregnancy not knowing if Elliot or her rapist fathered her child. "Of course. My lips are sealed" she said, before winking at her friend. Olivia turned to leave, but Melinda stopped her once more. "Olivia, congradulations. You're going to be a great mother."

"Thank-you Melinda" Olivia said, before turning on her heel, and leaving, hoping she wouldn't have to explain anything to Elliot when she got back.


It was nearly seven in the evening when Olivia finished her DD5, signing the last paper. She had gotten back to the precinct, and thankfully, Elliot kept quiet, figuring she'd tell him what she was up to when she was ready. Olivia sighed, feeling slightly tired. "God I hate these" she said, before closing the case folder, and leaning back in her chair, waiting for her partner to finish.

Elliot chuckled. "You know this is all Cragen's going to allow you to do after he finds out about baby Stabler."

"Oh, don't remind me" Olivia scoffed, looking around, making sure no one heard their conversation. She had decided that she didn't want anyone to know about the pregnancy, not yet, and she was going to try to keep it a secret for as long as possible.

"Okay" Elliot began, signing the bottom of his paperwork, "I am done." He looked up at Olivia and smiled, when he noticed that her hand unconciously found its way to her stomach, rubbing over it gently.

Olivia handed her file to Elliot and smiled, hoping he would get the hint. He did, and rolled his eyes, as he grabbed the file, along with his own and got out of his seat. He quickly went and handed them to Cragen, returning with a small glare aimed at his girlfriend/best friend/partner.

"What?" she asked innocently.

"Nothing" he replied, quickly, turning away, before sitting at his desk. He watched, quietly, as Fin and Munch walked into the bullpen, along with Agent Porter, and his partner, Agent McKinley. When he saw Porter, he groaned, loudly, letting Olivia hear exactly what he thought of the man.

"Be nice" she whispered, before she heard the footsteps over to their desks.

"Detective?"

Olivia turned her chair around, surprised to see a different face greeting her. She had expected to see Porter standing behind her, so when she saw his partner, Agent McKinley, she was a little shcoked. "Uh, Agent McKinley. How can I help you?"

She watched, confused, as Porter shook his head to himself, before walking up to the three. "How far along?" McKinley asked, smiling when he saw the wide eyed expression on both detectives' faces.

"I, uhm, what do you mean?" Olivia was confused. Was it that obvious that she was pregnant? If so, how was she going to expect to keep this from everyone she knew, when she couldn't even keep it from someone she didn't even care to mention by first name.

"Detective Benson, I'm the father of three. I know when to tell when a woman is expecting. Plus, you're just, glowing" he said with a smile.

Elliot looked back and forth between Olivia and McKinley. How did he know? Was he listening to the conversation he and Olivia had had in the cribs?

Porter stepped forward, placing a hand on his partner's shoulder, telling him to know where his place was. He looked at Elliot, before giving McKinley's shoulder a squeeze. He knew that look, all too well, and he knew that if his partner didn't back down, nothing would be able to stop Elliot from letting out his anger. "Excuse my partner," Porter explained, hoping to come up with something to save McKinley's ass, "he doesn't know when to shut up at times."

McKinley shrugged Porter's hand off his shoulder, before turning to face him. Without another word, he walked off, while everyone just watched him leave.

"Ok, something I'm missing here?" Olivia asked, a little surprised that Agent McKinley was acting like a total jerk.

Porter turned to Olivia and shrugged, before speaking. "You thought Stabler was a hothead, my partner makes even him seem calm."

Elliot stood up and walked behind Olivia, wrapping his arms around her, showing Porter he had won. "You don't think I'm a hothead do you?"

Olivia looked over her shoulder, and smiled, when she was greeted by a pair of blue eyes. "Of course I do." She laughed when he pretended to seem offended. "But you're my hothead" she responded quickly, before kissing him.

"Um, Stabler, Benson. Are you guys doing anything after this?"

Olivia looked at Elliot, before turning to Porter. "No, why?"

"Well, I was thinking, maybe we could all go to dinner. Together. You know, so I can assure you there aren't any hard feelings, between us all." He turned to Olivia. "You're happy with Stabler, and I'm happy that you're happy. I just want congradulate you two, and uh, I guess you could say this is my apology."

Elliot looked at Porter, his arms still wrapped around Olivia, before speaking. "I still hate you, don't get me wrong, but nothing says an apology like a free dinner."

Porter looked at Elliot and laughed. "Wouldn't have it any other way" he said, hoping two would get over the hatred they felt toward the other.


"So, what's the deal with this McKinley guy?" Elliot asked, as he grabbed the slice of pizza off of Olivia's plate, and took a bite.

"All I know, is he requested this case. I've been stuck with him for months, and the Bureau won't let him drop the case." Porter took a bite of his own slice of pizza, before turning to Olivia. "So, how long have you two-"

"Two months" she said quietly, before stealing her slice of pizza back from Elliot.

Elliot was about to complain, but was interrupted by his cell phone ringing. "Stabler" he answered, before listening to the voice on the other line. "Ok, Maureen, calm down, I can't understand you...no I haven't-...hold on." He turned to the two, and placed his hand over the phone. "I'll be right back" he said, before kissing Olivia's cheek and sliding out of the booth.

Porter and Olivia watched was he walked outside, so he was able to hear his daughter's conversation better. "So, you really love him don't you?" Porter knew something was always up between the two. He had always hoped that he was crazy, and there wasn't anything going on between them, but that had just been wishful thinking.

"I do" Olivia said, as she again, placed her hand unconciously on her stomach.

"So, how far along?" he asked, taking notice of her hand's current postion.

Olivia quickly took her hand off her flat stomach, hoping Porter was joking, but when she saw his face, serious and focused, she knew she wouldn't be able to keep it from him. "8 weeks" she replied, before taking a sip of her water.
Porter leaned closer to her, and for a minute she was worried that he was going to try to make a move since Elliot wasn't there. "I'm happy for you" he whispered, reassuring her he wouldn't dare try anything, especially now that she was dating Elliot. "You've always wanted children, and now you get to have them, with the man you've always dreamed of."

Olivia looked at Porter, unsure of what to say. It truely did sound like he was trying to get over her. "Thank-you Porter" she said, as she patted his hand, causing him to smile. "Porter, what are you still doing here?"

He took a bite of his pizza, before answering. "Finishing dinner" he said with a chuckle.

Olivia rolled her eyes. "No, I ment, here, in New York. I mean, my case has gone cold, and yet you guys are still here."

Porter looked down at Olivia, putting his slice down. "Olivia, there have been cases with the same M.O. reported in Missouri. We think our guy has moved out of New York, and we were actually going to follow the leads we've gotten. I think he's officially moved out of the state." Porter looked at Olivia, who was silent. "Olivia, I'm not giving up, until I find your rapist."

Olivia looked at Porter, and gave him a half-hearted smile. "Thank-you" she whispered, as the two saw Elliot walk back to their booth.

"What'd I miss?" he asked, sliding in next to Olivia.

Olivia leaned up against him, before sliding her hand into his. "Nothing. You didn't miss anything" she said, before laying her head against his chest.


An hour later, the three made their way back to the precinct, after realizing Olivia had left her purse in her desk. "Liv, you wouldn't just get it in the morning" Elliot said with a yawn, as he followed both Porter and Olivia into the bullpen.

"It'll only take me a second El. Besides look-" she stopped when she saw a vase full of flowers on her desk. "Elliot, these are beautiful" she said, walking up the flowers, before throwing her boyfriend a smile.

"It wasn't me" he said with a shrug, before throwing a look to Porter.

"Hey, I said I wouldn't mingle. I'm over you" he said, defensively.

Olivia looked at the two men, before turning back to the flowers. She noticed the card in bouquet, and wondered who had given them to her. She quickly read over the card, and froze, dropping it to the floor when she was done.

Elliot quickly rushed up to her, holding her up, before her legs gave out. Porter picked the card up from the floor, before handing it to Elliot. He opened the card, and began to read what was written, aloud. "Dear Olivia" he began, before wrapping his arm around Olivia's waist, pulling her closer. "I am so happy. Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?" Elliot looked down at Olivia, and became angry. Unable to finish reading, he handed it to Porter.

"I'm going to be a daddy" Porter read, as Olivia buried her face further into Elliot's chest. "I can't wait to meet you again. I'm back in town, maybe we should get together. Take care of our baby. I love you. Love, your secret admirer." Porter placed the card on Olivia's desk, next to the vase of flowers.

"Porter" Olivia whispered, wiping her face with her palm. "He's back."

Porter looked at Olivia and nodded. "Get your captain" he said, before he pulled out his phone, and dialed his partner's number.


Dun dun dun...

What do you think? Love it? Hate it?

So, what happens when Cragen finds out about baby Stabler? How did her rapist even know she was pregnant? Is he stalking her? Gasp!

If you want to know, you know what you gotta do
