Chapter 10: Welcome to the World

Over the next few months, there had been no contact from the FBI. While they certainty couldn't forget what they had been told, it had moved to the back of their minds, put on the back burner, and life was settling back to normal – or, at least, as normal as it could get being in the WPP.

Everyone's main focus was now on Olivia, who was already six days past her due date.

"Ugh!" Olivia groaned from her seat on the couch. "Get this damn kid out of me already!"

Alex, who was home on her lunch break, couldn't help but laugh at how frustrated Olivia had become. Just a week prior, she had been saying how much she was going to miss being pregnant.

"You think this is funny?" Olivia snapped.

Alex looked at her with a straight face and simply answered, "Yes," before laughing again.

Olivia fell back onto the couch and gave another groan, but couldn't help and join Alex in laughing. Suddenly Olivia's laughter turned into a cry of pain.

"Rach, what's wrong?" Alex asked, turning serious as the smile disappeared from her lips.

"I think," Olivia said taking a deep breath, "I think that was a contraction."

Elliot reached the hospital three hour after Olivia had been admitted and made a frantic dash for her room. He all but ran through the door, and then quickly pulled a chair up next to Olivia's bedside.

"I'm so sorry I'm late; I was in a meeting and just got the message," he told her breathlessly.

"It's all right, you're here now."

"You must be so uncomfortable."

Olivia shrugged. "Yeah, but the meds sure do help. Plus it'll be worth it."

He gave a light chuckle. "You know, I just realized something."

"What?" she asked.

"Our girl's going to be here in a few hours and we still don't have a name for her."

She twisted her face as she thought about what was just said. "I think I want to wait until I see her to name her."

Elliot smiled. "Me too."

"Okay Rachel, I'm going to need a push, and push hard this time. Can you do that for me?" the doctor asked an exhausted and tired Olivia. She gave a weak nod but didn't say anything; instead, she griped Elliot's had tighter and prepared for what the doctor had told her to do. "Okay, push."

Olivia moaned in pain before collapsing back on the pillows. Elliot wiped her forehead with a damp cloth before placing a kiss on her head. "You're doing great, honey; it's almost over."

"Easy for you to say," Olivia shot back through gritted teeth.

Before Elliot could respond, the doctor spoke again. "One more push and the head will be out; you're going to have to push as hard as you can. Ready? Push!" Once again, Olivia moaned in pain. "Great, the head's out: just a few more pushes and you will have your new daughter in your arms." Soon after, the delivery room was filled with the cries of the new baby.

"Congratulations mom and dad," a nurse said as she handed a pink bundle to Olivia, "You are now the parents of a beautiful little girl."

"Oh," Olivia gasped when she saw her, tears forming in her eyes, "She perfect, El," she said not even realizing her slip up. "She's perfect, and she's ours."

Elliot leaned down and gave Olivia a kiss on the lips before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Thank you," he whispered as he turned to his youngest daughter and stroked her small arm.

Elliot walked into Olivia's hospital room. "How are my girls doing?" he asked as he placed a kiss on his daughter's head and one on Olivia's lips.

Olivia let out a content sigh. "We're good."

"Good. Now all that's left is to give her a name."

Olivia looked down at the little bundle in her arms. "You know what I think she looks like?"

"What?"

"An Alexandra."

Elliot turned to look down at her too. "How about Alexandra Serena Quinn?" Olivia scrunched up her nose. Elliot laughed. "Alexandra Serena Stabler, is that better?"

"Yes, and I'm touched that you want her middle name to be Serena, but her initials would be ASS. I just couldn't do that to her."

Elliot laughed again at what Olivia said, "I hadn't thought of that. Okay, how about Alexandra Don Serena Stabler?"

Olivia smiled, obviously happy with the names Elliot had suggested. "Two middle names?"

Elliot nodded. "For a special girl."

Olivia smiled. "I love it. I think it's perfect."

"So now we have a name?"

"Yeah, I think we do."

He turned to Alexandra. "Hello Alexandra Don Serena Stabler/Quinn." He chuckled. "That's a mouthful to say, but welcome to the world, as messed up as yours might be. We're happy to have you."
