Chapter 10

"Liv, what are you doing here?" Elliot asked looking up from his desk.

"I thought that you guys might want some coffee." The now very pregnant woman said to him, holding up the tray of Starbucks.

"But Liv..." Elliot began before Munch cut him off.

"Hey man, don't scold the woman, she's right, I could use some coffee." He said taking the tray from her.

"The doctor said that she wants you off your feet Liv. You're due in a week. Do you really want to go into Labor on the sidewalk, in the middle of the city?" Elliot asked kissing Olivia chastely on the lips.

"Well, I hate sitting on my ass, watching it get bigger and bigger all day. I had to do something." She answered.

"Well, at least sit down." Fin offered as he rolled a chair over to her, and helped her into it. Olivia just sighed, she hated how everyone was treating her like she was about to break, she was pregnant not dying, but there was no use arguing, and she knew it.

The four talked as Elliot, Fin, and Munch drank their coffees. When they had finished Elliot finally said, "Okay Liv, come on, you better get home, and get back in bed."

"Fine." She pouted, allowing Elliot to help her out of the chair. "See you later guys." She sighed as Elliot led her to the elevator. He had a protective hand on the small of her back, the small gesture still comforted her, even now.

"You don't have to walk me outside you know. Despite what you may think, I can stillcall a cab." She said teasingly to Elliot.

"Yeah, I know, but you never know when you might loose your balance with that thing." He joked pointing to her stomach.

"Ha ha." She answered.

Suddenly the elevator jerked to a halt.

"Oh, you gotta be kidding me." Olivia said rolling her eyes, after she regained her balance.

Elliot pushed the lobby button, but the elevator wasn't moving. Elliot took out his phone to call up to the bull pen, so some one could call the maintenance crew to get them unstuck.

"Oh, my God." Olivia said, almost inaudible.

"What now?" Elliot asked.

"You're not gonna believe this." Liv answered

"Hold on one sec Don." He said into the phone looking over at Olivia, "Seriously Liv, what is it?"

"I think my water just broke." She answered, laughing.

"Liv, this isn't funny, this is a bad thing." He said. "Just relax, and breath." He brought the phone back to his ear. "Cragen, we got bigger problems, Liv just went into labor. Yes I'm serious! Could you just hurry please!" With that he hung up his phone.

"Ok sweetie, now, I've been through this three times before, sit down, carefully, and just breath, you're going to be okay." Elliot told Olivia.

"El, hun, I think that you're the one who needs to relax. I'm fine; this is supposed to take hours, right?" She asked him. "You know, this would be pretty hysterical if it wasn't really happening." She said.

Elliot helped Olivia through her first four contractions before the maintenance men finally got the elevator to the lobby. Once they touched the ground Olivia was ushered into a waiting ambulance, and rushed to the hospital.

While Olivia was in the delivery room, Elliot was able to slip out to call his kids, and tell them that in a few hours there would be yet another Stabler in the world.
