The next two months flew by for the growing family. Olivia was now eight months pregnant and still at work, desk duty of course. She refused to go on maternity leave until the very last second.
"Sounds like Liv." Nick told Elliot one day.
Walking back from the bathroom after what seemed like the 100th time that day, she saw Elliot walking in, dressed in his uniform.
"El? What are you doing here?" Olivia asked, walking over to her fiancé and hugging him the best she could in her condition.
"We were on our way back from a call and we were passing the precinct so I decided to stop in and see my beautiful fiancè." He said, ending his explanation with a kiss.
"Well I'm glad you did. Your daughter has been kicking me all morning and you're the only one that can calm her down." Olivia said, leading him into her office and shutting the door.
"So she's only my daughter when she's causing trouble?" Elliot joked.
"She's definitely as annoying as you." Olivia joked back before taking a deep breath and rubbing her stomach.
"You okay babe?" Elliot asked, resting his hand on the small of her back.
"Yeah, she's just kicking again."
Elliot gently placed his hands on her bump. He didn't feel any kicks, but he felt something and he knew what that something was.
"She's been kicking all morning?" He asked.
"Yeah. Its like every five to ten minutes she decides to have a boxing match with my spine." She described.
That caused Elliot to chuckle but he was still worried.
"Maybe we should go get you checked out, just in case." He suggested.
"Why?" Olivia asked, confused.
"I don't feel her kicking, I think you're having contractions." He said calmly.
"Contractions? I'm only 8 months, El" Olivia said, starting to get worried.
O: He's probably right. I mean, he's done this before, he knows what he's talking about, right?
"Liv, the twins were born at seven months and they were fine. Our baby girl will be fine too." He said reassuringly.
"Okay...okay...she'll be okay." Olivia said, trying to make herself believe what she was saying.
"Sit down, I'm going to go get the car pulled up front." Elliot said, helping her lower herself into her desk chair.
Elliot opened her office door and stopped dead in his tracks. There was a gun trained on his head.
"Don't move." The man said.
Elliot did as he was told. He looked past the man and saw Nick lying on the ground in a pool of blood. How did they not hear the gun go off?
"Nobody leaves!" The man shouted, causing Elliot's eyes to snap back up.
He recognized the guy, but couldn't remember where from.
Elliot put his hands up in a surrender motion.
"Listen, my fiancè is in labor and we don't have much time. We don't have to leave, just let us go to the cribs okay?" Elliot suggested calmly.
The gunman shifted from foot to foot, contemplating Elliot's request.
"Fine, but everybody has to go up so I can make sure no one leaves." He eventually answered.
"Alright but you have to let me check over the wounded detective." Elliot negotiated.
The gunman shifted again and rubbed a hand over his sweaty forehead.
"F-fine, but the whore stays with me while you do."
Elliot looked back at Olivia. She was rubbing her stomach and taking deep breaths but she gave him a nod, saying it was okay.
Elliot, hands stilled raised, slowly made his way toward Nick. He kneeled down beside him and immediately noticed the destinct rise and fall of his chest. He glanced back up to see the gunman with his back to them.
"Nick, it's Elliot." Elliot said quietly as he looked over the downed detective.
Nick's eyes opened and were filled with pain.
"There he is." Elliot said, relieved.
"Calm down Stabler, it's just a bullet to the knee." Nick replied.
Elliot took a piece of rope out of his uniform pocket and tied it around Nick's thigh.
"I'm going to tell the gunman you're dead, once we are in the cribs, radio this in, okay?" Elliot said.
Nick nodded his head in acknowledgement.
"Good. Hang in there." Elliot said, standing back up.
Nick closed his eyes and listened carefully.
The gunman turned around just as Elliot stood up.
"H-he's gone." Elliot said.
The gunman's eyes widened.
"Gone as in dead?" He asked.
"Yes." Elliot replied.
"Get in the room now!" The man yelled.
Elliot quickly walked back into the office. The gunman followed and closed the door. Elliot made eye contact with Olivia and he saw her eyes widen. She looked down toward her pants. Elliot followed her gaze and his heart jumped in his chest.
Her water broke.
