After dropping Dickie off at his parents, Elliot drove Olivia and himself to the hospital. Elliot was straightening out the room. "El, the baby isn't due for another three weeks."
"I know baby. But, this way, we get to see our baby three weeks sooner." Elliot smiled brushing back her hair.
Olivia pulled her hair into a pony and fell back into the pillow. "What if it doesn't make it?"
"Liv, the doctors are going to do everything they can to help our baby. I'm scared too. We just have to trust them." Elliot said and kissed her head.
Olivia nodded and looked up at him. "I love you Stabler."
"I love you too, Stabler." Elliot smiled.
Just then, Olivia went through a contraction. "El?"
"I'm here. I'm here. You're doing great. It's almost over." Elliot said rubbing her back.
After ten more hours of labor, Olivia and Elliot were in the delivery room. "I want the drugs! Give me the drugs!"
"Liv, remember what you said. You wanted to do this without them." Elliot reminded her.
"Shut up! I was a hormonal pregnant woman who wanted to say she had a natural birth with no drugs. I WAS WRONG!" Olivia growled pulling on Elliot's shirt.
"Liv, calm down baby. Look, it's too late to get the drugs. C'mon, our baby is counting on you." Elliot said supporting her back.
The doctor put on his gloves. "Okay Olivia, are you ready to say hi to your baby?"
"Yes!" Olivia shouted.
"Okay, push!" The doctor said.
Olivia pushed and felt herself stretch. "Elliot! Help me!"
"How am I supposed to help you Liv?" Elliot asked extremely confused. He kissed her head.
"Breath!" The doctor said.
"Liv, you're doing great. C'mon, we're going to do this." Elliot whispered loud enough for her to hear over her labored breathing.
"Push!" The doctor said. Olivia pushed again and leaned back into Elliot. "Breath! Okay, Liv one more big push and you'll get to see your baby. Push!"
Olivia pushed with everything she had left. She gripped onto Elliot's hand. "Liv, baby that's it. I love you so much."
A cry broke through Elliot's words. "Congradulations! You guys are the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl!" The doctor smiled holding up their baby girl.
Olivia opened her eyes with tears in them. "Oh my god!"
Elliot kissed her head. "I'm so proud of you. You have no idea how happy you've just made me."
Olivia smiled and squeezed his hand. "I love you."
"I love you too." Elliot smiled and watched as a nurse brought over there daughter.
Olivia carefully settled her daughter into her arms. "She's perfect."
"She's beautiful, Liv. Look how tiny she is." Elliot smiled. "Look at all that hair."
Olivia chuckled. "We got our Summer. You want to hold her?"
"Yeah." Elliot said softly.
Elliot gently took Summer from Olivia and smiled down at her. "Hey there little girl. I'm your daddy. Your mommy and I love you so much."
Olivia smiled and rubbed Elliot's arm. "You're already wrapped around her little finger."
"You got that right." Elliot chuckled.
A nurse came up then. "We're ready for the little bundle."
Elliot suddenly felt very unsure about this, but handed her over. "T-take good care of her."
"We will. She'll be back before you know it." The nurse smiled and took their daughter away.
A different nurse came up. "Do we have a name?"
Olivia smiled. "Yeah, Summer Rae Stabler."
The nurse smiled. "Okay. You're daughter was five pounds, four onces. She was eighteen inches and was born October 23, 1997 at 3:02 a.m. Olivia, why don't we get you cleaned up and into your room?"
"Sure." Olivia nodded.
Elliot smiled and kissed Olivia's head. "I'm going to go tell the good news to the crazy bunch out in the waiting room. I'll meet you in your room."
"Okay." Olivia smiled and kissed him before he left.
Elliot jogged up to the waiting room on their floor. Joe, Bernie, Scott, Beth, Joe Jr., Jordan, Rebecca, Sarah, Dickie, Casey, Fin, William, Alex, and John were in the waiting room in chairs. Elliot smiled when he saw them. "Hey guys!"
They all stood up and crowded him. Elliot took Dickie. "What was it? How is the baby? How is Liv? Did it go okay?" Everyone asked at once.
Elliot held up his hands and chuckled. "The baby is fine and perfect. Liv did amazing. Everything went fine we're just waiting to hear how the baby did during surgery."
"What did you have?" They all asked and waited.
Elliot smiled. "We had... drum roll... a girl. Summer Rae Stabler was five pounds, four onces, eighteen inches, and was born at 3:02 a.m."
"John, we have a goddaughter!" Alex squealed.
"Did they tell you how long the surgery would take?" Joseph asked.
"They said it would probably take about an hour. Maybe more, it depends on what happens." Elliot breathed. "She's going to be okay. She has to be."
"What does she look like?" Bernie asked.
Elliot smiled. "She looks like Liv. She's got a full head of brown hair. Her eyes are blue. Summer is tiny. A chihuahua is probably the same size as her."
The group chuckled and hugged him. "How is Olivia holding up with everything going on with Summer?" Casey asked.
"Uh, she's doing okay. It's basically just nerves right now. We made it this far." Elliot nodded. "I better get back to her."
"Okay, we'll come back in the morning after you guys have spent some time with your daughter." Scott smiled and clapped Elliot's shoulder.
Elliot smiled and kissed Dickie's head. "I'll see you later buddy."
Dickie mumbled a goodbye in his drowsy state and was passed to Joe Jr. "I agree with you buddy. We need sleep."
Elliot laughed and waved before jogging over to Olivia's room. She fixed her ponytail and was starting to doze off. "Hey."
"Hey, how you holding up?" Elliot asked walking over to her.
"Eh, only how a mother can hold up while her newborn daughter is in surgery. I'm freaking out; I'm just too tired to show it." Olivia smiled.
Elliot kissed her head. "She's going to be fine."
"I know." Olivia whispered. "Come here." She scooted over in the bed.
Elliot smiled and climbed into it with her. He wrapped his arm around Olivia and kissed her head. "I love you Liv."
"I love you too, El." Olivia mumbled. After a moment, she found out something. "El?"
"You have to use the bathroom, don't you?" Elliot guessed while smiling.
"Yes." Olivia groaned.
"Let's go." Elliot chuckled.
