Olivia woke up the next morning in Elliot's arms. She snuggled back into him. Her movement woke Elliot. He immediately tightened his arms around Olivia.

"Morning," he said.

"Morning," Olivia said as she shifted so she was facing Elliot. He leaned over and gave her a kiss.

"How'd you sleep?" he asked.

"Better than I have in a long time."

"Glad to hear it."

Just then Elliot's cell phone rang.

"Ignore it," Olivia said.

"It might be Maureen," Elliot said as he rolled over and reached for his phone.

"Stabler," he answered.

"Elliot, it's Cragen."

"What's up?"

"I just wanted to make sure that you two got the tickets."

"Yeah, they gave them to me last night."

"Ok, we'll see you this afternoon."

"Ok, thanks Cap."

Elliot placed the phone back down and rolled back to Olivia.

"What did he want?" Olivia asked.

"Just to make sure we got the tickets."

"I don't want to go back, I like Miami better."

"I promise to make New York better."

"Yeah?" Olivia asked as Elliot leaned over and kissed her again.

"I've got ideas."

"I can't wait."

Olivia rolled over and kissed Elliot and then started to get up.

"Where are you going?" Elliot asked as he reached for her arm.

"We've got to clean up and get to the airport."

"You showering now?"

"That's where I was headed."

"I'll clean up out here."

Olivia got up and walked to the bathroom. Elliot put things into the suitcases before he and Olivia switched places. They made sure they had everything and headed for the airport. The flight left on time and 2 ½ hours later they were on the ground in New York.

"You ready?" Elliot asked.

"Back to work," Olivia said as she and Elliot walked through the door to the squad room.

"Hey! How was your trip?" Munch asked when he saw his two colleagues.

"Miami is a beautiful place," Olivia answered.

Elliot walked over to his desk and quickly put something in the drawer, catching Fin's attention. He decided to ignore it.

"Cragen wants to see you two," Fin said.

"Thanks," Olivia said.

They walked toward Cragen's office, Olivia knocked when they reached the door.

"Come in," Cragen replied.

Olivia opened the door, "You wanted to see us?"

"Welcome back," Cragen said when he saw his two detectives.

"Thanks," Elliot said as he and Olivia sat down.

"I wanted to apologize again for not getting the message to you sooner."

"We were glad to have the break," Olivia said.

"I'm just glad to have you back," Cragen said.

"Thanks Cap," Olivia said as she and Elliot walked out of the office.

They finished the day and headed home.

"Maureen, we're home," Elliot called as they walked into the apartment.

"Hi Dad," she said as she appeared from the bedroom and hugged her father.

"Hi Olivia," she continued, hugging her also.

"Everything go okay?" Elliot asked.

"Everything was fine. I did some thinking though."

"About what?" Elliot asked as he motioned for everyone to move to the couch.

"I have to tell Mom that I'm not pregnant."

"Do you want me to go with you?" Elliot asked.

"No, but I wanted you guys home before I told her."

"When are you going?"

"I called her before, we're meeting at the café down the street."

"We'll be here if you need us."

"Thanks. I better get going."

Maureen got up and went to meet her mother. When she had called Kathy she didn't seem all that excited that her daughter called.

"Hi Mom," Maureen said as she reached the table her mother was sitting at.

"Hi," Kathy said coldly.

"Thanks for coming," Maureen said as she sat down across the table from her mother.

"I figured it had to be something important for you to call me. Your father finally kick you out?"

"What? No. It's nothing like that."

"Then what?"

"Well first of all I thought maybe we could be civil, but that doesn't look like it'll happen."

"You want me to forget what happened last week Maureen? My 18 year old daughter tells me she's pregnant, what the hell was I supposed to do?"

"Well telling me that you are ashamed of me didn't help. I was scared, I didn't know what to do."

"If you were so scared then why did you run away?"

"I went to Dad, it's not like I just took off."

"You've been with him all this time?"

"Yeah, is that a problem?"

"I find it rather hard to believe he took the news better than I did."

"He was angry at first, but then Olivia calmed him down."

"Olivia! She knows about this?"

"Yeah, she was there when I told Dad."

"That woman is ruining my life!"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"First she ruins my marriage and takes my husband, now my daughter."

"I can't believe you blame her for the divorce. I trust Olivia, she was more of a mother to me than you have been this past week."

"Then maybe you and your father should move in with her and have a happy family."

"We already have, and the four of us will be very happy."

"Four of you?"

"Olivia is pregnant."

"We haven't even been separated two months and he already knocked her up. Now I know I was right."

"Right about what?"

"I'm not having this conversation with you."

"Nothing happened between dad and Olivia until you gave him the divorce papers."

"He told you that?"

"Yeah and I believe him."

"I'm going to give both of them a piece of my mind," Kathy said as she stood up.

"I suggest you sit back down Kathy," came Elliot's voice.

"Dad? What are you doing here?"

"I figured your mother would get testy."

"I knew I was right about you and Olivia!"

"If you don't believe that nothing happened until you gave me the divorce papers, there is nothing I can do about that, but don't ever let me hear you talk about her like that again."

"She ruined my marriage, you expect me to like her?"

"She didn't ruin our marriage, she had nothing to do with it. If anything, she was the one who kept it together that long."

"What the hell does that mean?"

"I can't tell you how many times I would be complaining about something at home and Olivia would tell me to go home and deal with it. She knew how important my family was to me and always did everything she could to make sure we were happy."

"I guess we should be worshipping St. Olivia then."

"Kathy that's enough! I'm not going to justify my relationship with Olivia to you."

"I can't believe you made Maureen move in with her."

"It was my choice Mom, they didn't make me do anything."

"She had the choice to move in with Olivia and me or just me, it was her choice."

"How noble."

"Maureen came here to try to have a decent conversation with her mother about something very important and you start with this. It's not fair to her, me or Olivia. If you could just do me one favor and not say anything, we haven't told a lot of people yet."

"You want me to do something for you?"

"I think it's a reasonable request. Come on Maureen," Elliot said as he and Maureen got up.

Maureen stopped for a second and turned around, "And by the way Mom, I'm not pregnant."

With that she turned back around and walked out with her father.

Olivia was sitting on the couch reading a pregnancy magazine, waiting for Elliot and Maureen to return.

She heard the door open and saw Maureen come through, followed by Elliot.

"Olivia, I just want you to know that I appreciate everything you have done for me. I love you like a second mother," Maureen said and then hugged Olivia. Then she got up and went into her bedroom.

"What was that about?" Olivia asked Elliot as he sat down on the couch next to her.

"Kathy did exactly what I thought she would. She freaked out when she found out you knew about Maureen. She blames you for everything."

"But we knew that already."

"She doesn't believe that nothing happened until after she gave me the divorce papers. I can't believe she thinks I would cheat on her."

Olivia put her arm around Elliot's shoulders, "Did you tell her that?"

"Yeah, but she thinks believes it even more since she found out you are pregnant."

"You can't change what she believes."

"I know, but I hate listening to her talk about you like she does. I just want to beat the hell out of her every time she says something bad."

"Elliot, listen to me, there is nothing else you can do to change her mind. This is one of the reasons why I was hesitant about getting so involved with you, the constant fighting."

"Are you second guessing yourself?"

"No, not at all, I knew the consequences. But you have to understand that this isn't going to be easy. We've seen it before, battles between exes."

"I know, but I just want everything to be fine and we can have our family."

"Life isn't perfect. Think of it this way, the only problem we have is Kathy. The baby is healthy, we are together, work is good, and everything else is good. Don't let one thing bring everything else down."

"You're right. I'm sorry. I should be thankful that you and the baby are healthy."

"That's the Elliot I know and love. Come on, let's get some sleep. Back to work again."

They both got up and headed to the bedrooms. They each said good night to Maureen and then went to bed themselves. It didn't take long for either of them to fall asleep.

Olivia woke up the next morning to the sound of the alarm. She rolled over and saw that Elliot was already up. She got up and went toward the kitchen. She found Maureen and Elliot already there.

"Morning," Olivia said.

"Hey, figured you could use the sleep," Elliot replied.

"Thanks."

"Have some breakfast."

Olivia sat down and had breakfast. About 15 minutes later Maureen cleaned up her place and headed out for school. Olivia went to take a shower while Elliot cleaned up. Soon enough they were both out the door and headed to the precinct.

Munch and Fin were already in the office when they arrived.

"You guys catch?" Olivia asked.

"Yeah, woman found in the park," Fin replied.

"She dead?" Elliot asked.

"Not from a lack of trying."

Just then Cragen appeared from his office, "Stabler, Benson, in my office now."

Elliot and Olivia looked at each other.

"He sounds pissed," Fin said.

The two detectives walked toward the Captains office.

"Close the door and sit down," Cragen said somewhat calmer than he had called them.

Elliot closed the door and they both took a seat.

"What's up Cap?" Olivia asked.

"I received a phone call this morning."

"From?" Elliot asked.

"Your wife."
