Happy new year! Thanks for the lovely review I hope loverofbones is reading because this chapter is inspired by her review! Enjoy!
Elliot stands in Olivia's kitchen with a bag on his shoulder, and his head in the fridge. Olivia comes into the kitchen and clears her throat. Elliot lifts his head only to hit it on the top of the refrigerator. He groans and Olivia laughs and claps.
"Nice one Stabler" she says playfully. He rubs his head and sticks his tongue out.
"Don't mock my pain" he says. "So is Ethan ok with coming over for the whole weekend, without his mommy" Elliot says shifting the bag on his shoulder. Olivia puts her fingers over his lips.
"Shh! I haven't gotten that far" Elliot smiles.
"Olivia!" Elliot says in a mock astonished voice. "Lying to our son" he says playfully.
"Not lying. I just haven't told him" he smiles and wraps his arms around her waist. She smiles when he leans down to kiss her but she turns her head when she hears Ethan calling her. Elliot keeps his forehead on the side of her face and groans.
"You would think I would have better timing than that." She smiles and moves away. She walks towards the back but Ethan runs out and bumps into her.
"Mommy" he says with a whine.
"Aww what's wrong baby" she squats down and runs a hand through his hair as he runs his eyes.
"No find punchy" he says leaning into Olivia. She smile and wraps her arms around him.
"Baby I put punchy in your bag that daddy is holding" Olivia says. Elliot looks at them confused.
"Punchy?" He says as a question.
"Punchy the penguin. Casey gave it to him when he was first born and in the NICU." She says as Ethan lays his head in her shoulder.
"Why is his name punchy?" Elliot says jealous of the bond between the penguin and his son.
"Ethan would always roll over and hit it on accident. Casey named him punchy as a joke but it just stuck." Elliot nods as Ethan lays on his mother.
"Ok bubba time to go with daddy." Ethan sits up and looks at her.
"What bout you mama" he says. His blue eyes starting to tear.
"You know what bud, this is going to be a you and daddy weekend. Mama is going to stay home this time. Ethan shakes his head furiously.
"No. Mama no" he starts to cry and Olivia picks him up.
"Oh baby it's going to be so much fun. You and daddy at his house having boy time" Ethan cries on her shoulder and Olivia tries to hand him to Elliot but he just holds on and cries. Olivia looks over at Elliot who has a deflated look on his face.
"Aww I'm sorry El. It's just too soon" Elliot nods and sets his bag down. Elliot touches Ethan's head and kisses Olivia on her forehead and walks out silently as Ethan cries.
A few hours later Olivia lays on the couch with Ethan as they watch another episode of yo gabba gabba! Olivia feels her head starting to explode as Ethan watches with excitement. When she hears a knock she gets up quickly happy to get away. When she opens she sees Elliot and the whole stabler crew, even Eli at her door step. Elliot smiles and sets Eli down.
" Since I couldn't bring Ethan to the sleep over I thought I would bring the sleep over to Ethan" Elliot says with a proud smile. The door opens wider when Ethan comes and looks out the door. Elliot waves at his curious face and Ethan looks up at his mom and reaches his arms up. The whole Stabler clan walks into Olivia's house setting up sleeping bags and pillows and setting bags in the corner. When they are finished they all look at Olivia who is holding a very shy Ethan.
"So Liv are you going to introduce us to our little brother?" Kathleen says with a smile.
"Ethan this is, Kathleen, Dickie, Elizabeth, Eli and Maureen. Guys this is Ethan." They all smile and wave and Ethan peeks out from his mothers shoulder and gives a slight wave.
"Oh my goodness. He is too cute dad. I mean Liv" Elliot looks at Kathleen with mock hurt.
"I am cute" he says.
"Dad you are not cute. Liv is cute" Dickie says with an handsome smile. Elliot come behind him and grabs his collar from behind.
"We arnt flirting with the mother of my child are we Richard" Dickie gulps and shakes his head.
"No! No of course not dad" Elliot lets go of his collar and pats his back.
"Good" he says as he picks up Eli. They all stand there awkwardly for a minute before Ethan lifts his head. He gets down from Olivia and sits on the couch as pocoyo comes on. Everyone exchanges looks and files in front of the TV. Ethan is quite as he watches the show. Dickie reaches for some popcorn when he hits his head on the table. Ethan laughs a little and Dickie smiles.
"You like that?" Ethan sits up and nods. Dickie stands up and takes three apples from the kitchen and starts to juggle. Ethan smiles and watches him fascinated.
"Wow Dickie you are pretty good" Olivia compliments.
"Yea you should join the circus" Elliot says jokingly.
"Dad he is the circus" Kathleen says. Everyone laughs and Dickie throws an apple at Kathleen and it splashes everywhere.
"Dickie!" Kathleen screams. She starts chasing him and before long there is popcorn in Dickies ear, apple pieces everywhere and there is food flying across the apartment everywhere. Elliot his hiding behind the counter with Olivia, Eli and Ethan.
"Alright boys this is the plan. We take these eggs and attack from the rear and the front." Olivia says.
"Alright men, and Olivia" Eliot says nodding at Liv "ATTACK!" they all run and start throwing eggs at Elizabeth, Kathleen, Maureen, and Dickie. All of them scream and fall to the floor dramatically as if they were wounded. Ethan stands there with the eggs in his hands still and starts to cry. Olivia turns around quickly and walks over to him.
"Aww baby what's wrong?" She says hugging his food covered body.
"Dickie hurt mama?" Ethan says with tear.
"Oh no big guy I'm ok." Dickie says standing up. "See not even a scratch" Ethan looks at him and then looks at Olivia.
"Lizzie, Titi?" They stand up and he smiles.
"See bud we were just pretending" Olivia says. Ethan nods his head and wipes his eyes. "Now throw those eggs and finish them off!" Olivia says tickling his stomach lightly. Ethan giggles.
"But only pretend mommy?" He says. Olivia nods.
"Just pretend" Ethan smiles and throws the eggs at them and they all fall down frantically. Ethan laughs and lays his head on Olivia's shoulder.
"Well it looks like its bath time." Olivia says. Elliot nods and picks up Eli and walks towards the bathroom.
"Dickie, Lizzie, Kathy, you are on clean up" Olivia says as she walks away.
"Aww Liv" Dickie says. Kathleen hits him.
"Shut up loser you started it" Dickie sticks out his tongue and Maureen wipes raw egg on it.
"Dude gross!" He says as he wipes it off with his shirt.
"Dude gross!" The girls mock and he starts cleaning.
By the time the boys are bathed fed and sleep the house is to its original clean and they are all laying on the floor watching a movie. Ethan is snuggled into Olivia's side. Olivia is snuggled up with Elliot. Eli is laying next to a sleeping Dickie. Maureen and Lizzie are on the couch and Kathleen's head is next to Ethan's. Olivia sighs and lays her head back on Elliot's shoulder.
"This is perfect Liv" he whispers in her ear. She nods her head and starts to fall asleep.
"Liv?" He whispers. She moved her head again and keeps her eyes closed.
"Hm?" She answers after a while.
"Marry me" she opens her eyes and looks at him.
"What?" She sits up careful not to disturb Ethan.
"You heard me" he says as he takes her hand.
"No Elliot I heard you but I don't think you heard yourself" Olivia says as she moved a strand of hair out her face.
"I know what I said Liv" he sits up with her.
"You are just overcome with emotion. All of your kids are in one place you are happy-"
"That's the thing I'm happy with you. Liv I love you. I wouldn't want to share this moment with anyone else. Please Liv, marry me?"
