A/N: Thanks for all the lovely reviews! Here is the next chapter!
Two months went by, Olivia was beginning to show, and the morning sickness was bad enough to keep her off work for the time being.
One day, while Olivia stay home to rest, Elliot went to work as per usual. He was sitting at his desk, when Captain Cragen walked up.
"Elliot, John, you 2 needa go pick up your perp from the front of Mahoney's the manager is restraining him, till you get there"
Elliot nodded as he and Munch left.
When they pulled up at the front of Mahoney's, the prep, Peter Madson, was fighting against the man that was restraining him.
They got out of the car, just as Peter broke out of the manager firm grip and ran.
"Leave me the fuck alone, detectives. I'm not going back to fucking jail" Peter yelled as he began to run down an alley.
Elliot followed and Munch went around the other way to block him off.
When they eventually blocked him off half way down the alley, Peter grabbed out a gun from his pocket.
"Put down the gun, Peter" Munch yelled as Peter aimed at him and Elliot.
"No, fuck you" Peter screamed back, then a shot was fired.
Elliot dropped to the ground clutching his stomach and Peter ran off as Munch went to Elliot's aid.
He kneeled down beside Elliot as he called for an ambulance.
Elliot pulled Munch down close to his face by his collar of his shirt, and talked as long as he could.
"Tell Liv and the kids that I love them" it only came out as a whisper.
"Elliot, you're not gonna die, so you can tell them everyday that you love them. Plus you're gonna be there when the new baby Stabler arrives"
"No, promise me"
"Ok, I promise" Munch replied, as he heard the ambulance sirens, "Hang on, Elliot, help is almost here"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As they worked on Elliot in the Emergency Room, Munch called Olivia.
"Hello?" Olivia answered the phone in a groggy voice.
"Hey, Liv, it's John. Did I wake you?"
"Yeah, but it's fine. What's up?"
John took a deep breath, before he delivered the bad news to the pregnant detective. "Elliot, was shot, Liv. He's in Mt Sinai"
"Oh my God. Oh my God" Olivia cried hysterically.
"I've sent Jefferies and Cragen to pick you and the kids up in 2 separate cars"
Olivia was crying. "Ok"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The kids sat on the spare bed in Elliot's hospital room, as Olivia sat beside the bed and held her lover/ father of her children's hand. "He had to pull through for this baby as well as the rest of us" Olivia thought with her other hand on her slight baby bump.
After awhile, Olivia had to use the bathroom, as soon as she stood, she fainted.
"Oh my Gosh, Liv" Maureen cried as she ran over to her.
"Mummy" Ashlyn cried as she tried to wake her mother.
The twins and Kathleen ran out to get a nurse.
They returned with a nurse, 2 doctors and a gurney.
"Ok, what happened, kids?" The nurse asked as the doctors placed Olivia on the gurney.
"She's having a baby and she dropped to the floor" Maureen tried to explain the best an 8 year old could.
"Ok, then. We're gonna take care of your mum and the baby"
"Ok" Maureen and Ashlyn answered in unison.
And the nurse followed the doctors out, as they rushed Olivia upstairs to OB.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashlyn was taking the whole situation harder then the others. She was crying.
Maureen, Kathleen and the twins tried to cheer her up, the best they could, by giving their half sister a big group hug.
"I wanna see my mummy" Ashlyn cried as the doctor came in to check on their father.
The doctor checked Elliot before looking at the 5 young children.
"Are you all the birth children of Miss Benson?"
Maureen shook her head. "No, only Ashlyn, but we all are the kids of her daddy"
The doctor looked away and rolled his eyes, before looking at the kids again.
"Ok, come with me, young Ashlyn and I'll take you to your mummy"
Ashlyn nodded. "Thank you"
"Why can't we all go?" Kathleen asked.
"Because at the moment, only one is allowed to go in the room. But I promise you all will see her later"
They all nodded, still slightly hurt that they couldn't see their step-mother. Even though their father wasn't married to Olivia, they still saw her as their mother.
The doctor took Ashlyn upstairs to OB, and in to Olivia's room.
Ashlyn sat quietly by her mother's hospital bedside and held her hand, as Olivia slept. "Mummy, you and the baby are gonna be ok" Ashlyn whispered and kissed her mother's hand, "I love you and baby"
