A/N: I don't about the ages, I guessed

Monday rolled around and Maureen went back to her college dorm. Kathleen, Lizzie, and Dickie were sent off to school. Olivia and Elliot went back to bed for a much needed hour, since Eli was up near every hour that night.

They both woke up again and put Eli in the car and made their way to the adoption agency. She was proud to put all of their names under the heading of children adopting. She wrote Maureen Anne Stabler,20; Kathleen Rebecca Stabler,18; Elizabeth Marie Stabler,15; Richard Dickson Stabler,15; and Elliot Benson Stabler, less than 1.

They went into a small office and discussed all the ins and outs of adopting. Why was she adopting her friends children? Why weren't they married?

The questions lasted for hours and she stood and shook both of their hands and said she would call them within a week. Olivia was skeptical about the adoption, their jobs always seemed to interfere, she just hoped that this time she was accepted.

They made their way off the elevator at the 1-6 precinct, on their floor. The doors were open and a bustle was about mainly papers being shuffled. Elliot carried Eli's carrier, and guided Olivia in.

Fin looked up, "Hey baby girl." He hugged her lightly. "How are you?"

"I'm good, Cragen here?"

"Yeah, he's in there." Fin pointed to the office, and Elliot and Olivia followed his hand to cragens office door.

"Come in," he said after they knocked.

Olivia sat in the chair as Elliot put the carrier on the table next to them. "Hi, Dad, How are you?"

"Good, but I guess I should be asking you two that."

"We're good." She answered. Elliot simply nodded along with her since this was her moment.

"That's good,Liv, so why'd you come all the way out to work, except to bug me." Cragen smiled.

"Haha, no, we actually came to tell you something."

"okay, go ahead." Cragen said as he leaned back.

"Okay, a couple days ago, Elliot's kids came up to me, and asked me to adopt them." Cragen's jaw hit the floor.

"Seriously?"

Olivia and Elliot nodded. "We just came from the adoption agency."

"Wow, so soon after Kathy left us?"

"Yeah." Olivia said, "but this was totally their idea."

"Wow, I'm glad you told me."

"Well, Elliot was a little afraid to tell you." She looked to Elliot who smiled.

"Why?"

"Personal, Dad."

"I won't break you up, ever. You two are the best detectives I've ever run under command. You could get married and I still wouldn't care." Olivia looked to Elliot and blushed slightly, he tilted his head in a different direction and smiled back at her.

"Elliot, can I get a minute, with my baby?" Cragen asked. Elliot stood and walked out, closing the door lightly behind him. He respected the fact that Olivia finally found a father in Cragen. She never knew hers because of her mother being raped, and having her as a result. So these little sessions were about him, he knew.

"So, how did this come around?" Cragen came up to Liv and touched her arm lightly.

"They just came up and asked me, I asked why so soo after their mother died and they said that they needed a mother figure now and no one could measure up like I could I their mind."

"Wow, that's great, your going to be a mother?"

"In a way, yes." Olivia's cell rang, and she reached for it before Eli woke. "Benson."

"Olivia? This is Debra from the adoption agency, let's just say you have been preapproved for the adoption of all five Stabler kids."

She put her hand to her mouth, "Seriously?"

"Yeah, we just have to do a couple follow up interviews and a walkthrough of Elliot's house, but let me tell you, it's looking very good."

"Thank you Debra, Thank you." Olivia breathed heavily into the phone.

"Your Welcome, I'll call you with the details soon."

"Thank you, Bye." Olivia flipped her phone closed. Cragen looked to her curiously.

"What is it, sweetie?"

"That was Debra, from the adoption agency…I just got pre-approved for the adoption of the kids." Olivia smiled and gasped at the thought of finally becoming a mother.

"Honey, that's great." Cragen held her tightly. "Get Elliot, tell him."

Olivia nodded and Turned running out into the bullpen, and tapping Elliot on the shoulder, "Debra, just called."

Elliot smiled, "And?"

"I'm pre-approved." Elliot smile turned brighter, and he picked her up twirling her around in excitement.

"I love you, Liv."

"I love you, El." He planted a small kiss on her lips.
