I don't own Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

it had been 2 weeks since Olivia and Maria encountered that man on the sidewalk. Maria was still talking to Dr. Huang and Olivia and Elliot were getting closer. It was 2 days before Christmas and the Benson ladies were excited. Elliot had invited them over for Christmas dinner. Maria was very excited. She would actually see New York during the winter. She was on winter break and Olivia had a few days off. "Maria?"She called. They had some last minute shopping to do.

Maria came skipping from out of her bedroom. She was wearing dark blue jeans, black uggs and a white and black long sleeved stripped shirt. She had her hair in a high pony tail. "I'm ready"

"Good. That shirt was a good choice" Olivia said. She was also wearing dark jeans and black uggs but her shirt was just black. She left her hair down. "So let's check our list."

"Ok!" Maria said excitedly.

"Cragen?"

"Check. He has a watch!"

"Munch?"

"Check. A book"

Olivia chuckled. John would like the book she found at Borders. It was full of what some would call Government cover ups. "Fin?"

"Check. Uncle Fin has a CD and a watch"

"Casey?"

"No nothing yet for her"

"Elliot?" Olivia didn't know why she asked. She didn't have anything for him yet. She wasn't sure what to get him. They have been dating for at least 5 months and they have been partners for 7. She knew what to get him before. But now it seemed like a harder choice.

"Nothing yet"

"Huang?"

"Yes we got him a book"

Olivia nodded. "Maureen?"

"A shirt with a matching skirt and a CD" Maria said with a smile.

"Kathleen?"

"Nothing yet"

Olivia sighed. "Uhm Lizzie? And Dickie?"

"We got Lizzie a movie and a pair of jeans with a matching shirt. And Dickie a signed soccer ball and a video game" Maria said. "So we need gifts for Kathleen, Elliot and Casey"

Olivia nodded. She had already gotten Maria gifts and she couldn't wait to see her daughters face as she opened them. Just then Sun came inside the room and meowed. "That reminds me. We need cat food. We should go grocery shopping also. Afterwards we can curl up and continue our Favorite movie-thon"

Maria nodded with a bright smile. "Si. That sounds wonderful"

So the two set out shopping in hopes of finding prefect gifts for their friends, their loved ones.

"DAD COME ON WE HAVE LAST MINUTE SHOPPING AND YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE GOING TO TAKE US!" Lizzie yelled up the stairs. She was with her twin and Kathleen. Maureen was by the Christmas tree. Looking to see who still needed gifts.

Elliot came down the stairs and smiled at his children. "Happy! Now let's go"

"Wait we have to see who we still need gifts for" Kathleen called.

"Ok who?" Elliot asked he was slightly annoyed. "Do we have a gift for Fin?"

"Uncle Fin has a new chain necklace and cologne." Maureen called. She put his gift pack under the tree. "Aunt Casey has a bracelet and book on law" Maureen added placing that gift back under the tree.

"Munch?" Elliot asked.

"Nope nothing yet." Maureen called back to her father.

"Huang?" Elliot said. He was naming the people of the 1-6 of in his head.

"Nothing yet. Oh I found Grandpa Don's gift! He was a picture of us framed and then a book"

"Ok good. Liv?"

"Yes something from us kids! Where is your gift to her dad?" Maureen teased.

"Hey daddy? Where is Olivia's gift? What are you getting her? Is it romantic?" Lizzie asked with a smile.

Elliot laughed at his youngest and said. "I don't have her present yet. What did you guys get her?"

"A framed picture of us and a movie, Plus some smell goods" Kathleen said.

Elliot nodded. "What about Maria?"

"Oh we got her loads of stuff! It's so fun shopping for kids under the age of 11!" Maureen said with a smile coming over to her family.

"What? I got her all of the Spy Kid movies and an outfit" Elliot said.

His kids nodded. "Good choice."

"I got her a soccer ball and a tennis racket" Dickie said.

"I got her an outfit and the Maximum Ride series" Kathleen said with a smile.

"I got her a mix CD of all her favorite music and 2 Bratz" Maureen said.

Lizzie but her bottom lip. "I haven't gotten her anything yet. I'm not sure on what to get her!" Lizzie said.

"Oh. No worries you'll find something. Now let's get out of here so we can get back home tin the nice warm living room and watch a movie" Elliot said as he put his coat on. His children followed suit and soon they were out the door and in the car.

~2 days later~
Maria's eyes snapped open and she jumped up. It was Christmas! "It's Christmas!"She sang as she swung her legs of the side of her bed and slipped her house shoes on. She pulled on her light purple robe and skipped to Olivia's room. She slowly opened the door and snuck over to her bed. "FELIZ NAVIDAD!" Maria sang as she jumped on Olivia.

Olivia was already up when Maria came into her room. She sat up laughing wrapping her arms around her daughter's waist. "Feliz Navidad. Te amo"

'Te amo" Maria answered. "Come we must open presents! Vamos a abirir regalos"s She sang.

Olivia nodded. "First we must brush our teeth and wash out faces then we can hurry and open the presents. After that we can eat and get ready go over Elliot's house for we can open more presents and eat more food!"

Maria nodded and she stood and ran to the bathroom. Olivia close behind her. Soon they were in the living room opening gifts under their small tree. Maria had gotten Olivia a shirt, smell goods, a picture of her that was framed, a DVD and a bracelet. "I have been saving money. So I could get you nice things for Christmas. Do you like them? I remember you saying you liked this Sandra Bullock women and I found that movie when we went shopping"

Olivia laughed. She had tears in her eyes. Maria had gotten her. Practical Magic. "I love this movie and these gifts! Thank you so much sweetie this bracelet is beautiful"

"I have one just like it see" Maria said with a smile. She showed Olivia her matching charm bracelet.

"Here open your gifts!" Olivia said wiping her eyes. She had gotten Maria a lot of outfits, another pair of Uggs, smell goods, the first two Harry Potter books, a gift card to Toys R Us, and a light purple diary that had her name in sparkly dark blue letters.

Maria looked at everything in front of her with wide eyes. "Mom... I..." she couldn't find the words. So she got up and hugged Olivia tightly. She let the tears fall from her eyes. "Thank you so much!" She cried.

"No problem sweetie. No come on let's put our stuff away. Get dressed, eat and head over to Elliot's house. But before we go I have something I need to tell you" Olivia said.

~Stabler Residence~
it was 30 minutes before everyone was suppose to get here. It was a rather fun Christmas for the Stabler kids. They were upstairs putting their gifts away.

Maureen was in her room. She had gotten outfits and a heart necklace from her father. Plus a charm. Whenever one of Elliot's daughters turned 10 he brought them a charm bracelet and he would get them charms and every now and then. She had gotten a Fall Out Boy and smell goods from Kathleen. A hat and matching vest from Lizzie and from Dickie she had gotten "Austin Powers Gold member" on DVD. She laughed looking at the DVD. Dickie had an odd sense of humor.

Kathleen was in her room also. She had gotten A charm from her father along with outfits and heart earrings. From Maureen she had gotten a Greenday CD and a Greenday poster. From Lizzie she had gotten an outfit and smell goods. From Dickie she had gotten her "Stick It"

Lizzie was also in her room. She had finally gotten her charm on her bracelet. She smiled as the bracelet jingled. She also got outfits from her father and a heart ring. From Maureen she had gotten on book on the some of the greatest poets and smell goods. Kathleen had gotten her a gift card to Anne's Fabrics and a Christina Aguilera CD. Dickie had gotten her. "Bring It On and Princess Diaries" which were her favorite movies.

Dickie was lying on his bed throwing his soccer ball up and down. He smiled. When he turned 10 his dad started buying him baseball cards. Every now and then his dad would bring him 2 or 3. He had small collection but it was still pretty good. He also got cloths from his dad. From Maureen he had gotten a new skateboard. Since she broke his last one. (She ran over it) from Kathleen he got a gift card to a sporting goods store and from Lizzie he got him. "The Goonies and The Sandlot" those were his favorite movies.

Soon everyone started showing up and gifts were exchanged. Olivia kept looking at Elliot and then at Maria. She smiled and winked at her daughter. Elliot had gotten Maria a charm bracelet and her first charm. She and Maria also had a secret. "Uhm Elliot. Can I talk to you for a moment please? In the kitchen."

Everyone watched as they walked out of the room. "Wonder what that is about" Casey said.

Maria shrugged her shoulders innocently.

Olivia was standing by the stove and biting her bottom lip. "I have your present" they said at the same time. They both laughed and said at the same time. "You first"

"Ok I'll go first!" Olivia laughed. She pulled a small box from out of her jeans pocket and handed it to Elliot. She looked at him as he opened it.

Elliot's eyes widen. Inside the box was a sonogram and written next to it was. "Merry Christmas daddy! I should see you by July! Love you!" he looked at Olivia and said. "Your pregnant!"

"Yeah!" Olivia said with tears in her eyes. She cried out laughing when Elliot hugged her tightly. "Your happy?"

"Damn right!" He said with a smile as he kissed her lips. "So your do in July?"

"Yep. No more questions! I want my gift!" Olivia pouted.

Elliot smiled and pulled a small velvet box out of his pocket and opened as he knelt down on one knee. "Liv I can't spend any more days knowing that you are just my girlfriend. I view you as much more than that! I love you with my soul. Will you marry me? Be my wife"

Olivia's eyes went wide a she took everything in. "I say the same thing. Yes I'll be your wife!" She kissed him as she cried. She pulled away from him. "I'm going to be a mommy again and a wife!"

"I get to be a daddy yet again. To two little girls"

"How do you know the baby is girl?"

"Have you seen my children?"

Olivia laughed. "Good point"

"I KNEW IT! WE TOLD YOU SO!" A voice shouted.

Olivia and Elliot bother turned towards the door and they blushed everyone was in the door way. They had seen and heard everything.

"Congrats!" Cragen said with a smile.

"About god damn time!" Fin said.
