"Detective Stabler nice to see you again taking Maleah for the day again?" the blond haired woman asked. The last time he was there she introduced herself as Melanie.
"Hi Melanie, nope I have signed adoption papers for Maleah" he said excited. She smiled.
"Who is that?" she asked referring to Olivia. Olivia stepped in.
"Detective Olivia Benson his partner and her new mother" she said shaking the blonds hand. Elliot went to the crib where Maleah lay sleeping. He lifted her out of the crib and put her in the car seat. Olivia walked out of the room and saw Cragen still standing there so she went over to talk to him.
"Thanks dad" she smiled and hugged him.
"Your welcome sweetheart" he replied still hugging her. They broke away from the hug when Elliot came up behind them.
"You ready to go?" Elliot asked. Olivia nodded her head and walked down the hall with Elliot and their new daughter. She turned before she was completely down the hall and waved to Cragen he smiled and waved back.
In the car Olivia turned to Elliot.
"So what do we do now?" she asked. He turned towards the backseat and then turned back.
"Lets go down to the station" he exclaimed. Elliot drove down to the station holding Olivia's hand. Once they reached the station Casey was just about to go in when she saw Elliot's vehicle pull up. She waited on the stairs for him. Casey saw Elliot get out of the car and then he went to the backseat. He closed the door and Casey saw that he had baby Maleah with him. Elliot mad his way around to the passenger side and opened the door. Casey saw a woman step out but couldn't see her face until the door was closed. It was Olivia. Casey nearly fainted when she saw the two of them walk up towards her hand in hand.
"Olivia" Casey shouted. She ran over towards the brunette and hugged her. On the way Elliot and Olivia told Casey about Maleah. Casey went ahead of Elliot and Olivia and walked into the squad-room. Standing outside the squad-room Elliot and Olivia looked at each other and then down at the pink car seat which Elliot held in his hand. Through the glass window they saw Munch and Fin arguing probably over one of Munch dumb conspiracies theories. Casey joined in the conversation and Cragen had just walked in from the other side of the squad-room. It was time. Olivia opened the door, grabbed Elliot's hand and walked in. The look on their colleagues faces were priceless. Olivia looked to Munch and saw him with his mouth gaping open. Fin dropped the papers he was holding. Casey just smiled. Cragen already knew along with Casey. Munch finally closed his mouth and Fin picked up the papers that were scattered on the floor. Munch finally was able to speak.
"Did we miss something?" he asked almost in a studder.
"Elliot and I adopted Maleah" Olivia replied to the shocked detective. Fin and Munch looked to each other and then back at their friends.
"But you and Elliot aren't even married, hell you're not even dating" Fin stammered. Elliot sat the car seat on the floor next to his foot and pulled something out of his pocket.
"We are now" he said turning to Olivia and dropping down to one knee.
"Olivia Serena Benson will you marry me?" he asked. Her eyes filled with tears.
"Yes" she responded through tears. Elliot stood back up and took up Olivia into a passionate kiss. The two of them turned back and saw the whole squad staring at them.
"Dad!" came a loud voice from behind Cragen. Elliot looked around and saw Maureen, Kathleen, Dickie, and Lizzie. The four of them came running towards Elliot and Olivia. Elliot wrapped his kids into a hug. They broke from the hug and hugged Olivia. Cragen watched from the back of the crowd. Olivia looked over and saw him. He winked and walked into his office. Olivia smiled and continued to hug the kids. Elliot took Maleah out of the car seat and held her. Our family he thought to himself.
