Welcome Home

A/N: Here is the chapter you have all been waiting for. Here come the Donovans!! This chapter is two months after the last one. The quads are seven months old now.

Casey shot up to the sound of her alarm clock rang throughout the room. She knew that Alex and Olivia would be here soon. She pushed Serena off the bed and ran into the shower, soon joined by the blond. The two showered (and more!) and got dressed in jeans and tank tops. Just as they finished their breakfast and morning coffee, their door opened. Alex came in.

"Are you guys coming or what?" she called out. The couple in the house smiled at each other nervously before grabbing their bags.

"We're ready Lexie. Is everyone else coming?" she asked. Alex nodded, motioning out the door where a caravan of people were waiting. The whole of SVU and their children were there. They all honked their horns when the two soon to be parents came out. Casey and Serena made their way to their car and smiled as they got in. Everyone except the Novak-Southerlyn group made their way to the large field where they would meet them. Casey and Serena headed to the orphanage where the Donovan siblings would be waiting for them.

Casey and Serena arrived twenty minutes later. The same bubbly girl was at the counter.

"Ms. Novak! Ms. Southerlyn! You're early. Mrs. Calloway is waiting for you guys in the back," the girl (they found out her name was Catherine) told them, popping a blue bubble.

"Thanks Cathy. Maybe we'll see you again soon," Casey said. Catherine nodded and the two nervous women were ushered back into the room. Samuel, Phaedra, and Shayla were sitting there quietly. When he saw them, Samuel jumped up and tackled Casey in a hug. Phaedra, ever the shy one, walked over to Serena and stared at her with her big, ocean colored eyes. The older blond picked her up and smiled when she rested her head on the older woman's shoulder. Tony, her pig, was curled under her arm. Lauren walked in and smiled at them. Casey picked Sammy up and Shayla walked over, smiling at her new mothers.

"Ready to go Shayla? Everyone is waiting to meet you guys at park. Luke and Nate can't wait to meet you guys and they managed to talk Alex into letting them bring Sky and Remy," the redheaded woman said. Her new daughter nodded and they were allowed to leave the room.

"By the way Casey... How do you burn cereal?" Shayla asked as they walked out. Casey's mouth dropped open as everyone laughed.

"SERENA AMELIA SOUTHERLYN! I'M GONNA BITE YOU!" she yelled. The blond waggled her eyebrows at her girlfriend making Shayla blush and look heatedly away. Casey pouted the whole way to the car, buckling Sammy in and then sitting in her seat with a huff. Shayla leaned up to whisper in her ear.

"Sorry to dissapoint you Casey, but Sammy and Phae are 3. You, on the other hand, are not," she said, sitting back down and buckling up, brushing some dust off her powder blue shirt. The other redhead in the car turned around and stared at her new daughter with her mouth dropped open and her eyes wide. Shayla snickered at this and gave Serena a high-five.

"No fair. Now there's two of them that can gang up on me," she muttered. She looked in the back seat when she felt a tug on her sleeve. She turned around.

"I won't gang up on you," Phaedra said shyly, smiling a little at Casey. The redhead smiled at ruffled her hair, making the little one giggle. Serena got in and buckled up. She started the car and turned to the kids behind her in the van.

"You guys ready to go to the park?" she asked, starting the car. A cheer rose from Sammy and Phaedra. Serena started to drive.

The new family arrived twenty minutes later. The SVU gang and their famlies were already there. A round of applause started as Serena and Casey pulled Sammy and Phaedra out of the car. The two toddlers blushed and burried their faces in Casey and Serena's shoulders. Shayla smiled and waved at Olivia and Alex a little. They all dispersed and began to mingle until it was time to eat. Casey and Serena wandered over to where Alex and Olivia were sitting. Luke and Nate were standing there, their shaggy brown hair falling in their blue eyes. The two blond toddlers smiled and waved.

"Nate, Luke. Meet Aunty Casey and Aunty Serena's kids; Phae and Sammy," Alex said, pushing them forward. Nathan, the now loud twin, stepped forward.

"Tag. You it," he said poking Sammy in the shoulder. The two ran off to play with Lucas and Phaedra right behind them. Casey and Olivia stared off after them, smiling at the sight that the four little children made. Lucas was currently chasing after Phaedra and making the normally shy little girl laugh and squeal. Shayla, on the other hand, had pulled a book out of nowhere and was reading it quietly on a rock, watching as her little siblings played around and laughed. Serena and Shayla locked eyes. The blond made a funny face causing Shayla's melodious laughter to ring out across the field.

"Lukey! I brought Remy and Sky back!" Melinda Warner called. Lucas and Nathan ran over to greet her, grabbing the dogs from her and taking them over to their new found friends. Sky, with her glossy black fur, ran over to the newcomers, sniffing and licking while her brother, the brown haired Remy hung back a little.

A little while later, Casey called her kids back over again. The quads were awake and looking around.

"They look alike!" Sammy whispered to Shayla. His older sister nodded her head, smiling quietly at them. Alex held Jenna, Olivia held Jayden, Melinda held Kiara, and Casey handed Kayla to Shayla.

"These are Aunt Olivia and Aunt Alex's other children: Jen, Jay, Kiki, and Kay. They're itty bitty and they can't play yet so be very careful around them, ok?" Serena instructed. She got little nods from the twins. Phae and Sammy looked at each other and bit their lips a little.

"Can we hold one?" they asked in unison. Casey and Alex shared a look and smiled.

"Yes. But you have to sit with Alex and I while you hold them," Olivia said. She received two very serious nods as they got situated. Shayla sat down beside them with Kay in her arms, lightly rocking the blond child. Alex handed Phaedra Jenna and sat behind her while Olivia did the same thing with Jayden. Two wide-eyed little children watched the infants in wonder, cooing lightly. Casey and Alex shared a knowing look. Everything would be ok.

A/N: Here's the next chapter. There's not many more to go. 3-5 left.
