March came and life was going great for the Stabler family. Zachary was enjoying Kindergarten and Chelsea was now six months old and learning something new each and every day, exciting her parents.

Olivia woke in the arms of her loving husband, her head on his shoulder. She sighed and kissed his neck.

In response, Elliot moaned. "Morning baby," he croaked sleepily, as he started to rub her back.

"Morning my sexy husband," she whispered and straddled him under the covers. "You have a good sleep?" she asked and leaned down to kiss him on the lips passionately.

"I would love to make love to you, beautiful, but the kids will be awake at any moment," he replied in between kisses.

"Mommy! Daddy!" Zac giggled, running into the room, right on cue.

Olivia groaned and rolled off of Elliot. "Morning baby boy. You sleep well?"

Zachary nodded and climbed up on to the bed. "Morning Mommy and Daddy. I slept good. How 'bout you?" he asked, climbing over Olivia, so he could lay down in between his mommy and daddy.

"Yeah, honey, we slept good," Olivia replied and kissed his cheek.

Suddenly Chelsea could be heard making sounds through the baby monitor.

"Someone wants to start her day too," Olivia said with a smile and got up out of bed. She headed into the nursery and turned off the night-light on the way up to the crib. "Morning, bubba. How did you sleep?" she asked, picking her up.

Chelsea snuggled into Olivia and cooed happily to her, playing with her hair.

"Let's get breakfast, huh, sweetie?" Olivia cooed, rubbing her little back.

In response, Chelsea continued to play with her mommy's hair.

"Hey Zacy," Olivia said as she saw him walk out the master bedroom with a smile.

"Hi Mommy. Breakfast time?" he asked, taking his mommy's free hand.

"Yes, breakfast time, kiddo," she said as they headed down the stairs toward the kitchen. "Climb up into your booster seat, Zacy-boy," Olivia said as she sat Chelsea in her highchair.

"Okay, Mommy," Zachary replied and climbed up into his booster seat.

"Good boy. What would you like for breakfast?" she asked as she slowly pushed him up to the table.

"We have toast and peanut butter please, Mommy?" he asked, tapping the top of the breakfast table with his fingers, making a soft tune.

Starting to grab the necessary items, Olivia said, "Sure, little man. Toast with peanut butter on, it is."

Elliot emerged from the bedroom, showered and dressed for the day. He only had time for a quick breakfast before his ride to the police academy would arrive. He walked into the kitchen to find his family happily eating away.

"Morning kids," he greeted Zachary and Chelsea and gave them each a kiss on the head as he walked past them to his seat. "Morning baby," he said and kissed Olivia on the lips before sitting down. "This looks good."

"Oh please," Olivia scoffed playfully. "It's just toast with peanut butter." She laughed.

"Still good," Elliot told her. his mouth full of toast as he talked, so he sounded muffled.

"Zacy, don't copy Daddy."

"Huh?" Zachary asked, looking up at his mother from his toast. "What Daddy doing?"

"Daddy was talking with his mouth full. Don't do it, baby. It's yucky," Olivia told their son as she fed their daughter baby cereal.

Zachary nodded and broke a piece off his toast. "Okay, Mommy. I won't."

A car honked from outside and Elliot got up in an instant.

"Fin's here, I gotta go." He gave them each a kiss goodbye and left.

*************

Elliot got in the car, put on his seatbelt and said, "Hey Fin. How are you this morning?"

"Good, man. How are ya?" he replied and pulled away from the curb.

"Yeah I'm good."

"Chelsea over the Chicken Pox yet?" he asked. He loved that little girl like a daughter.

Elliot nodded. "Yeah she's good. The spots scabbed over on the weekend," he answered. "She's one happy baby girl again."

"Good to hear," Fin said, turning on to another street. "How are Olivia and Zac doing?"

"Good, good. Olivia's excited to finally start in the academy on September and Zac's enjoying Kindergarten."

"That's great," Fin said, nodding.

Elliot smiled, proud of his family. "Yeah it is."

*************

"Zac, you ready to go, kiddo?" Olivia asked, sitting Chelsea in her stroller and buckled her in.

"Yes Mommy," Zachary replied and strolled down the stairs with his little backpack on his back. Happy it was another day of kindergarten.

Just as Olivia grabbed a hold of the stroller handles, the phone rang. "Hang on, kiddo. Mommy needs to answer the phone."

"Okay, Mommy," Zac replied and watched Olivia run toward the phone.

"Stabler residence," Olivia answered the call. "Yes, this is Mrs Olivia Stabler, daughter of Serena Benson... What? Oh, my goodness. Really? How long has she got left? You can't be serious. Did she know that this could possibly happen to her?" she asked the person on the phone in a panic. "Oh okay. Yes I'll be there. I'll try get in contact with my husband first and I'll be there," she told the person and hung up.

"Mommy, you okay?" Zac asked concerned, seeing his mother's silent tears.

With a sniffle, Olivia picked up her son and cuddled him as he held on to her tightly and kissed her cheek. "Nana is in hospital, baby," she explained and kissed his cheek.

Zachary tilted his head a little. "Why? Is Nana okay?"

Rubbing his back, it broke Olivia's heart to have to shake her head. "No, Zacy-boy, I'm sorry, she's very sick. We have to get in contact with Daddy and head straight to the hospital," she informed him and stood him on the floor.

"Will Nana be alright, Mommy?"

Picking up the phone and dialing the phone number for the police academy to get in contact with Elliot, Olivia replied, "I don't know, baby. Can you please keep Chelsea company?"

Zachary nodded and went over to Chelsea. "Hey Chelsea. Nana is sick, so we haveta go and see her, 'kay? But she'll be okay, I promise you," he whispered to her and stroked back her silky blonde hair.

In response, Chelsea smiled and cooed at him. She loved her big brother.

"Love you, Chelsea," he said and leaned into the stroller to kiss her forehead.

Chelsea blew a raspberry and kicked her chubby legs happily.

"Mommy, Chelsea blew a raspberry and dribbled everywhere," he told Olivia, seeing her return.

"It's okay, buddy," she said and leaned over to wipe Chelsea's mouth. "That's what her bib is for. Come on, we're meeting up with Daddy down at the hospital, baby," she said and picked Chelsea up out of her stroller.

"What about Kindergarten, Mommy?"

"Sorry, baby, not today," she informed him and locked the front door behind them.

"Okay," he said sadly.

*************

Olivia was getting information on her mother's deteriorating condition from Serena's primary physician. Doctor Beth Marley.

"So is this heart condition hereditary?" she asked, more concerned about the health of her children then her own.

With a sigh, the doctor nodded. "I"m afraid that it is hereditary, Mrs Stabler. Would you like more information on the condition?"

"Yes please."

"Sure, I'll go get some for you. You can see your mother while you wait."
"Thank you," Olivia said and shook her hand, turning slightly just in time to see Elliot come running up the corridor to her.

"Liv!" he called and wrapped his arms around her when he reached her.

"El," she whispered into his chest.

"Is your mom okay?" he asked, rubbing her back and kissed her head.

Olivia shook her head. "She's got a heart condition, which she has been ignoring and now she has just days left to live," she told him and started to sob into his chest.

"Oh, sweetie," he sympathized as he comforted her. "I'm here for you. We're in this together," he assured her and kissed her head again.

Sniffling, Olivia nodded. "Okay," she whispered and kissed him on the lips. "You coming in the room with me?"

"If you want me to be, baby," he said and took a hold of the stroller handles.

"Yes please, El," she replied softly and turned to walk into her mother's hospital room.

Elliot followed closely behind with Zac and Chelsea for support. He knew how much Olivia was hurting, especially since her and her mother's relationship was still developing but it was already better then it had ever been, only for Serena to be now dying.

"Mom?" Olivia whispered as she sat down beside the bed and took a hold of one of Serena's hands in hers.

Serena was hooked up to numerous monitors and IVs. "Hi sweet," Serena greeted her daughter. Her voice weak and croaky. "It will be okay, Livvy. You'll move on with Elliot and the kids and continue to live a very happy life," she said and kissed the back of Olivia's hand. "And you, Elliot, Zac and Chelsea will be very well financially supported."

"What?" Olivia asked confused, furrowing her eyebrows.

"I'm leaving you close to three million dollars in my will," she informed Olivia.

"What? Where is all this money coming from, Mom?"

"My life insurance, saved money and everything in my apartment, the apartment itself and money from my parents, which has been in an account, just building higher and higher," Serena explained. "So you, Elliot and my grand babies are going to be well looked after, okay?"

Sniffling, Olivia kissed Serena's forehead. "Thank you, Mom. I love you."

"I love you too, baby girl."

The door to the room opened and a nurse walked in, straight up to the monitors to check them.

"I'm sorry but I'm afraid that visiting hours are now over. You come back in a few hours. Ms Benson needs her rest."

Olivia nodded sadly and got up. "See you later, Mom," Olivia said and kissed her mother's forehead before leaving with her supportive husband and sleeping children.
