ok so...here comes chapter 9! I would like to thank a lot my BETA SteffieDawn for her help on this chapter! :)
Olivia held her breath in fear.
"It seems like…you're having twins!"
"Twins?" she echoed.
" here? These are two heads! And two pair of hands and it goes like this..." the doctor said and smiled.
Olivia looked at the monitor and she couldn't believe in her could see clearly that there were not one, but two babies there.
"But…but why we didn't find out sooner? I mean."
"Yes I know, sometimes it's just not so easy to tell sooner than the 5th month." the doctor explained.
"Oh also I can see the sex of the babies do you want to find out?" he smiled
Olivia didn't hesitate. "Yes, yes I want…I mean with two babies I have to be as well prepared as possible"
"Ok then. Looks like you have here two little baby girls! Congratulations!"
"Oh God…girls…two girls…twins." Olivia mumbled in complete shock.
An hour later Olivia rushed back into the precinct. Elliot raised his head from his paperwork.
"Olivia? What are you doing back here? Is everything alright? What did the doctor." but he didn't get a chance to finish since she grabbed him up
"A word. Now. Alone" was the only thing she said before she dragged him into an interrogation room scaring him a little.
"What's the matter Liv?" He sounded really confused.
"Elliot. Do twins run your family?" Olivia asked in a dangerously calm voice.
"Uh actually they do. Except from Lizzie and Dickie I have those aunts and…Oh God" he managed to say when he saw her look in her face. "Really?"
Olivia nodded seeing he'd worked it out for himself.
"We are having twins?" he said in disbelief. "Two babies?"
"Yes Elliot that's why usually they call them twins!" Olivia sounded frustrated.
Little did either of them know that they had an audience. Fin and Munch were outside the room listening to the conversation feeling quite amused at the situation.
"So two babies from Benson and Stabler? God has no mercy" Munch said with a cheeky grin.
"Yeah but hey imagine them trying to handle that. It would be quite a show" Fin added
"What are you two doing here? Where's Liv and Elliot?" Casey had just walk behind them "What are they doing in there?" she asked when she saw them.
"Looks like they're up for double trouble Novak" Munch said turning down the volume on the intercom so they could no longer listen in.
"They're having twins" Fin explained to Casey who looked at them confused.
"Twins?" Casey echoed in disbelief.
"Stabler really did it this time" Fin muttered.
"Stabler did what, what's going on here?" said Cragen who had just came to be added to the audience. "What now?" He exhaled when he saw Elliot and Olivia into a heated conversation inside the room.
They didn't say anything, just Munch turned up the volume again in time to hear Olivia's voice.
"Yes Elliot I know that's going to be ok but you're not the one who will have to push two babies out of you!"
Munch turned the volume back down. Cragen stared at them for a moment, then he just said "God help us" and he left.
Back inside the room Olivia and Elliot where now sitting facing each other, in silence. Elliot was the first to break it.
"So...did you learn the gender or genders of our babies too, or were you too freaked to ask?"
"No.I found wanna know?" she asked smiling a bit.
"Yes I do" he smiled back.
"Well then, we're having two baby girls" Olivia said and her smile grew wider
"Two girls?...wow"
"I think you should be used to it by now" Olivia joked.
"Believe me Liv when I say, you never get used to it"
"And…girls again for you! What's with you and twins and girls?" Liv said smiling softly. All her anger from their morning conversation had seemingly disappeared. The joy of the news for the twins had taken completely over.
Olivia laughed.
"What?" Elliot laughed too.
"It is going to be one hell of a ride Stabler, you know that right?" she said still laughing.
"Tell me about it." he said grinning a little.
They made their way out of the room and they bumped into Fin, Munch and Casey who were all staring at them with big teasing grins on their faces.
"No don't tell me" Olivia groaned "You heard the whole thing"
"Well not the whole thing, just the important parts, Benson, like the fact that nature shows not pity and she's letting you have two kids" Munch said sarcastically.
"Hey guys please let me be there when you will be trying to handle them, I will be quiet I promise" Fin said jokingly.
"Come on give them a rest!" Casey said "Guys really congratulations and…good luck" she said unable to hold back a laugh.
"Alright, alright here, cut it off all of you" Elliot said but he was laughing too, it was quite amusing to say the least.
"Ok I should really get going, I also have to call Dean on the way, I promised him I would." Olivia said.
Elliot's smile dropped but he didn't say a word, he thought that now that Liv wasn't mad at him anymore, it would be a stupid thing to bad-mouth her boyfriend again.
" a good night then, call me if you need anything" he managed to say at last. Then with the corner of his eye, he noticed Casey staring at him.
Olivia said good night to everyone and left, the same with Fin and Munch a few minutes later, leaving Elliot alone with Casey who still was staring at him, a weird look in her eyes.
"What Casey?" Elliot asked as walked to the squad room and she followed him.
"You know Elliot, You and Olivia seem happy with the situation."
"Yes, because we are, we discussed things a lot and agreed to raise our kids like this, it was a mutual decision"
"And Olivia seems really happy with Dean"
"I guess she is, otherwise why would she choose to be with him" Elliot wasn't looking at Casey, he was tiding his desk to avoid eye contact.
"Elliot." Casey's voice hid a small beg.
"What?" he finally stopped tiding and looked at her.
Casey took a deep breath before talking again.
"When I see Olivia with Dean, in the surface she seems happy, but because I know her well, to me, she isn't. Right now, she needs stability in her life and Dean's willing to give her that so that's why she chose him even though she's not really in love with him. But she will stay because sometimes love is just not enough of a good reason. So Elliot, stop being a coward and give her what she needs, what you BOTH need before it's too late"
Elliot looked at Casey startled.
"That's what you think? That I am a coward?"
"Honestly Elliot? Yes." And with that she left, leaving him standing at the empty precinct to contemplate what she had said, hoping somehow that it would sink in, that he would get the message and act on it, before it was too late.
So what do you think Elliot will do? Always remember to review! :))
