Soooo sorry for the late update guys! School got a hold of my life but now that SVU is back on, I will be back to weekly Wednesday updates! Yah! Anyway...hope y'all like this chapter!
One month later:
Olivia hasn't gone to work since that dreadful day. She's barely came out of her room and even little Noah could tell something was wrong.
Elliot quietly opened the door. Olivia had tasked him with going and telling the squad everything that happened. She didn't even tell them that she was pregnant before all this happened.
"Babe?" Elliot said.
Olivia looked up, her hands resting on her six month bump.
"There's some people here who want to see you." He said.
"Who?" Olivia asked.
Without answering, he stepped aside and in walked Amanda, Nick, and Amelia in her car seat, which was carried by Nick.
"Hey." Amanda said quietly.
Upon seeing the baby, the sergeant's face lit up.
"Hey." She said, sounding happy for the first time in a month.
Nick walked over and sat the car seat on the bed.
Olivia immediately sat up and reached to unstrap the baby. Once free, she lifted her out and cradled her in her arms.
Meanwhile, Amanda pulled Elliot aside.
"How's she holding up?" She asked.
Elliot let out a sigh.
"I've never seen her so…empty." He said.
"You just need to be there for her. She likes to hide her emotions but from what I've seen, you can read her like a book." Amanda said.
"Yeah…I wish I could do more though." He said sadly.
"She's Olivia Benson, if anybody can get through this, it's her." Amanda relied before walking back over to her sergeant.
Two Weeks Later:
"Come on mom! We have to go!" Calvin yelled, grabbing his bag that housed all his soccer gear.
"I'm coming!" Olivia called back, coming down the stairs, Noah in one arms and the diaper bag in the other. "You can go get in the car." She added.
As Calvin walked out, Elliot walked in, dressed in his work uniform.
"I really wish you didn't have to work today. He really wanted you at this tournament." Olivia said, trying to get Noah's shoes on him.
Elliot tried to fake being sad. He's not actually going to work…but Olivia doesn't need to know that.
"I know. I really wish I could go." He said right before they heard a car horn.
Olivia sighed. She really wished Elliot could come. This is the first time she's had to go out by herself since-
*honk*
"Get going before he decides to drive himself." Elliot said, kissing his fiancé and pushing her out the door.
He watched through the window as she strapped Noah in and watched them drove off. As soon as the car was out of sight, he started his mission.
He went out and grabbed the hidden supplies from the shed and got to work.
When Olivia walked through the door that night, is was pushing 10 o'clock. A sleeping Noah was in one arm and his diaper bag in the other. Calvin followed behind, still chattering about the championship game his team won.
"Why don't you go find your dad so you can tell him all about it?" Olivia suggested, taking off Noah's shoes.
Calvin was about to run and look for his father to tell him about his day but remembered what his dad talked to him about that morning.
"I'll tell him tomorrow. I'm really tired." Calvin said and hurried upstairs before his mom could question him.
Olivia dismissed the change in her son and walked upstairs and into Noah's room. When she turned on the light, it didn't look how it did that morning.
At the far wall of the room was a brand new toddler bed. On it was a Mickey Mouse bed set with Noah's name printed at the bottom. On the wall perpendicular to the bed was a giant toy chest that looked like an actual treasure chest, filled with all kinds of brand new toys. The wall opposite that had a life size Mickey Mouse painted on it with a height scale next to it. A new dresser say beside it with Mickey heads as the handles.
Olivia slowly walked over to the bed and pulled back the covers, gently laying her son down. She covered him up and left the room in search of her fiancé.
"El?" She called.
"Bedroom." She heard him call back.
When she walked into their bedroom. Elliot was standing at the end of the bed, a pink teddy bear in his hand.
"El?" Olivia asked again, confused.
Elliot gave her a smile.
"Hey." He said, walking over to her. "I'm guessing you saw Noah's room." He added.
"I did…it's perfect." Olivia said.
"Good, because that's only part one." Elliot said next.
"There's more?" Olivia asked.
Elliot nodded and handed her the teddy bear.
"This is part two? Because if it is, it's a downgrade from part one." The brunette joked.
Elliot smile and took her hand, leading her out of the room. He led her down the hall and to the door to the 'soon-to-be' nursery.
Olivia gave him a confused look.
"Go ahead in." Elliot said, letting go of her hand.
Olivia slowly opened the door. Turning on the light, she gasped. Three of the four walls were painted a pale pink, the forth wall painted white. On the whit wall was a light wood crib with pink bedding, next to it, a changing table.
Above the crib, on the wall, there was a butterfly wall sticker. On the left wall was a dresser with butterfly handles. In front of the right wall at a rocking chair with a small bookshelf stocked with books next to it.
Olivia felt tears pool in her eyes. She turned to Elliot.
"You did this?" She asked.
"I had some help from Fin, Nick, and the new guy…but yeah." Elliot said.
"But…what if it's a boy?" Olivia asked.
"It's not." Elliot said confidently.
"How do you know?"
"Do you remember at your appointment last week I had to go back in to get my jacket?" Elliot asked her.
Olivia replied with a nod.
"Well…when I went back in, I asked your doctor if she knew the gender." Elliot explained.
"We're having a girl?" Olivia asked with tear filled eyes.
"We're having a girl."
Yah! They're having a girl!
