A/n- Second chapter. Call me butter because I'm on a roll. I mean I guess the size out ways the speed, but whatever. Reviews are appreciated
Elliot Stabler arrived home at 7:30 after Fin took the Captain home and Elliot took the wheel and did the same for Fin. He walked in the door of his house and walked into his quiet seemingly empty house. He stood for a moment in the doorway.
He then heard voices coming from the kitchen.
"Give it!" He heard Elisabeth say. "You already took too much, give it!" Eliot smiled at the sound of his children quarreling in the morning.
"Dickey, give your sister the milk." Kathy said. Elliot walked into the kitchen and found three of his four children sitting at the table.
"Daddy..." Kathleen said getting up from the table to hug him.
"Is Olivia alright?" Kathy asked.
"Yeah, she's going to be fine." He said looking at his wife, his words slurring a little bit from being so tired.
"What about the man?" Elisabeth asked who undoubtedly saw the tape on television.
"He was arrested. He won't be hurting anyone else."
"Well that's good, daddy. But you look like death." Elliot looked down at Kathleen who was smiling slightly. He smiled back.
"Well thank you, Kathleen." He answered back. She laughed at his sarcasm.
"She's right, you need sleep." Kathy said looking at him. Elliot remembered that she had come over to precinct the day before and had something to tell him.
"You had something to tell me?" He asked.
"Oh yeah. I'll tell you later, after you've had some sleep." Elliot was confused. He had no idea what she had to say. Whatever it was it obviously isn't something you can sleep on. 'Is she pregnant?' he thought.
He was too tired to trouble his mind over such things. He told all his children to have a good day and made his way up to his bedroom. He collapsed on the bed with a sigh and glances at the clock and sees it is 7:40 am. Finally he could get sleep. He was wearing the same cloths that he'd been wearing for the past two days but he didn't care. Olivia is safe and that's all that matters.
A/n (a): Short, I know but I did right and post this about... thirty minutes after my first chapter. I will update again soon. So until next time, this is Muppet, signing off.
