A/N: I'm so happy with the response that I am getting for this story!!! I think there will be only 1 or 2 more chapters after this one!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except Allyssa and A girl named Kelsey.

"Hey Elliot, it's Fin. We found Abigail"

Elliot could hear the shock and sadness in his voice. She was dead and he now knew it without Fin even saying it.

"She's dead, isn't she?" he said then looked at Olivia.

She turned pale and started shaking.

"Yeah, man. I'm so sorry. Tell Liv that I'm really sorry, Elliot"

"Where was she found?" he sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"In a dumpster about ten blocks from your house. Warner thinks that she was raped and strangled"

Elliot looked at Olivia. Olivia knew that she was dead. She felt sick to her stomach. She jumped out of the bed and ran in to the bathroom.

"Thanks, we'll be down at the morgue to identify her soon. I don't think that Liv could stomach the scene" he said as he heard his fiancée throwing up in the bathroom.

He hung up and took Allyssa's hand. He didn't want her out of his sight. He walked in to the bathroom to see Olivia sitting on the cold, tiled floor, leaning against the cold wall.

"Honey, you alright?"

She nodded and then shook her head. "I don't know. I really wanted to adopt her" she said as her eyes welled up again with tears.

"How about we move away from here and adopt a baby. How's that sound?" he said as he sat beside Olivia.

She nodded as her daughter sat down in her lap.

"Hey baby. How would you like to move to Los Angeles or would like to move to some place quiet?"

"Quiet" she replied simply.

"Well let's have a look on the internet at some places, after we get back from identifying her body" he said to Olivia.

She nodded since she knew that it was something that had to be done.

They all got dressed in simple casual clothing and left to go down to the morgue.

They walked in to the morgue in silence. Elliot had his hand on the small of Olivia's back as she carried Allyssa, who was asleep.

Melinda Warner pulled back the sheet and they instantly knew that it was Abigail.

Olivia turned around, sobbing. She was devastated. She was hoping deep inside that it was a mistake and it wasn't Abigail. She really wanted to adopt her. Allyssa loved her already. Allyssa was going to be devastated as well when she woke.

Elliot took Allyssa from Olivia and guided her to a chair before she fainted.

"Why? I wanted to adopt her" she sobbed.

Elliot rubbed her back. "I don't know, honey. But we will find this man that did that to her"

"She was raped, bashed and strangled. The man deserves to go to hell" she sobbed.

Elliot kissed her cheek. "I know, baby. I know. Let's go home"

Olivia nodded and the three of them headed back home for what was left of the night.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A week later, Olivia was still at home with Allyssa on leave. She was forced to take it by Cragen after a session with Huang.

Elliot sat at his desk, doing paperwork with no-one bothering him since they all knew what happened. Casey walked in with a smile on her face and sat on the side of Elliot's desk.

"What are you so cheery about, Casey?" Elliot asked, not looking up from his paperwork.

"Does Liv still want to adopt a child?" she asked, gently.

Elliot looked up at Casey and nodded. "Of course she does. So do I"

"Well I know a friend that has a teenage daughter who is pregnant and wants to put the child up for adoption. I told her about you and Olivia and she would love to meet you"
"How far along is she?" Elliot asked, curiously.

"She's eight months. She doesn't know the sex though"

"How old is this girl?"
"She's nearly 20. But she isn't ready for a child. It was her decision not her mother's"

Elliot nodded. "Come with me and we'll go talk to Liv about this" He said and stood up.

"I'll just go tell Cragen what I am doing, so he doesn't blow a gasket"

Casey nodded and waited for him.

Elliot emerged from Cragen's office moments later and grabbed his coat. "Let's go, Casey"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the car, Elliot looked over at Casey. "Thanks"

"For what?" Casey asked slightly confused.

"For this"

She nodded and smiled when she knew what he was talking about. "Any for you, Liv and Allyssa"

The rest of the car ride was filled with an awkward silence.

Elliot and Casey walked in to the apartment to find Olivia and Allyssa snuggled up on the couch watching kiddie DVDs.

She sat up and looked over the back of the couch when she heard the door open.

"Hey guys" she greeted Elliot and Casey.

"Hi Liv" Casey said as she walked in front of the couch.

"Hi honey" Elliot greeted and kissed her.

"Hi Ally"

"Hi Aunt Casey" the toddler greeted her and gave her a hug.

"Liv, Casey knows someone who wants to give a baby up for adoption" Elliot explained sitting on the couch beside her, holding her hands.

Olivia's eyes lit up and she actually smiled. The first smile Elliot had seen in a week.

"Really, Case?"

"Yes, Liv. She's 19, nearly 20 and she is eight months pregnant. She doesn't know the sex though"

"Is she being force to put the child up for adoption?"

Casey shook her head. "No, she isn't ready for a child and it was all her decision. She would love to meet the two of you"

Olivia nodded. "Can we do it today?"

"Of course, I will give her a call" she said and grabbed her cell phone out of her coat pocket.

She walked in to the kitchen and remerged a few minutes later.

"She would love to meet up with you today. She'll meet us in an hour at the Starbucks on 112th street"

Olivia nodded and smiled. "I'll just go have a shower and get dressed. Come on, Ally. You need to have one too"

Allyssa got up off the floor and followed her mother.

"Thanks so much, Casey. That's the happiest that I have seen her in a while"

Casey sat beside Elliot and smiled. "Yeah, I know. I was getting worried about her. I spoke to Kelsey yesterday about it; about your jobs and Allyssa and she is more then happy to meet you. She wants her child to go to a good home and I told her that you would take good care of her child"
Elliot nodded. "And she can come visit anytime"

"She'll love that"

Olivia and Allyssa returned about half an hour later. Both dressed in dark blue jeans. Olivia was also wearing a red and black shirt and black boots. Her hair was nearly brushed in to a ponytail. Allyssa was also wearing a pink top with 'Elmo' on the front and the back said 'Tickle Me'. She was also wearing little pink and white running shoes and her hair was nearly brushed in to a braid.

"Thanks so much for this chance, Case. It means a lot" Olivia said and gave her friend a hug.

"My pleasure, Liv. Are you ready to go?"

Olivia smiled and picked up Allyssa, placing her on her hip. "Yep, let's go".

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They arrived at Starbucks nearly half an hour later, due to all the traffic and walked in to the coffee shop and found Kelsey sitting in a booth nursing a hot chocolate.

"Hi Kels. This is Elliot, Olivia and little Allyssa" Casey introduced them to her. "Guys, this is Kelsey"

"Hi Kelsey" Olivia and Elliot greeted her in unison before sitting down opposite her.

Casey sat beside Kelsey.

They talked for about an hour and let Kelsey to make a decision.

Elliot and Olivia sat in their living room a few hours later waiting for the phone call. They were snuggled up on the couch, just holding each other and talking, as Allyssa had a nap.

When the phone did ring, they both jumped.

"Benson-Stabler residence" Elliot answered.

"Hi Elliot. It's Kelsey Thompson. I've decided that you and Olivia are the best people to adopt my child. I would like the two of you there for the birth as well"

"Oh my God! Thank you so much, Kelsey. Olivia is going to be so happy"

"Well I will see you in the next few days to work out all the paperwork and everything. I'm so glad that you are happy" The smile evident in her voice.

"Ok, we will see you then. Thanks again"

"Ok, bye"

Elliot hung up and looked at Olivia. "Looks like there will be a baby in this apartment in about a month"

Olivia's eyes lit up with her huge smile. "Oh my God! Maybe there is such a thing as happy things coming after bad events. But it looks like we aren't going to be moving anymore. Oh well, this is so much better"

Elliot gave her a kiss. "I love you"

"I love you too"

What sex do you think the baby that Olivia and Elliot are going to adopt should be???
