SVU Squad Room – Monday morning – 8:00am
Elliot was at the table pouring him a cup of coffee when Olivia came over to greet him. She smelled the stench of the leftover coffee from the day before and felt like she was about to puke in front of Elliot, who turned around to see the look on her face.
"I'll pour that out for you," he said.
"Thanks, I needed that," replied Olivia. "The only thing that has been settling my stomach has been ginger ale or chocolate milk in the mornings. I can't make it out of the house without it after this morning sickness."
"Poor Livvie," whispered Elliot as Olivia turned to him and smiled.
Olivia and Elliot realized where they were and decided that this wasn't the place for them to talk secretly. She was glad that he didn't mention anything to her about marriage from the other night at her apartment because she still needed the time to think.
"We'll talk later," she told Elliot.
They went over to their desks and passed by Munch and Fin and were about to sit down when Cragen walked in the squad room.
"Happy Monday, guys," he said, "now, let's get down to business, there's a rape-homicide on 75th and Amsterdam."
"Oh great," said Elliot.
"We better go," Olivia replied as they grabbed their suit jackets and walked out.
75th St and Amsterdam – 9:15am
Elliot and Olivia got out of the car and walked straight over to the crime scene.
"I'm Det. Stabler," said Elliot, flashing his badge, "and this is my partner, Det. Benson. We're from SVU."
"Who's the DOA?" Olivia asked.
"We haven't found any identity on her, but she looks probably about early to mid-20's and she was raped and then shot to death." the officer said.
"Any witnesses?" said Elliot.
"Everyone that we've talked to at the nearby restaurants and apartments said that they didn't see anything," replied the officer.
After the officer had told them this, Olivia walked off to look at the victim's corpse while Elliot was talking to the officer. She looked at the wound marks on the body from the gunshot wounds and it was beginning to make her sick to her stomach. After a while, Olivia and Elliot were in the squad car back to the precinct when Elliot saw the look on her face and knew that something wasn't right. She looked very nauseated and flushed like she did the day when she left for work early. The day before she found out that she was pregnant.
"You need me to pull over, Liv?" Elliot asked her.
"Please."
Elliot pulled the car over on a side street and Olivia got out and threw up everything that was inside her. After she was done, she came back to the car and Elliot gave her a mint to help settle her stomach.
"You feeling better now?" he asked her.
Olivia nodded. "A little better. I'll just be glad when this morning sickness is over, because this baby and I are going to starve if I keep throwing up everything."
"Hey, everything is going to be fine. It'll all go away soon," said Elliot, pulling Olivia closer and giving her a hug while she rested her head on his shoulder. "It's all going to be fine."
SVU Squad Room – 1:00pmElliot and Olivia had just come from Cragen's office to relay some information to him about their latest case. They sat at their desks for a little while, chatting with Munch and Fin. About a couple hours later, they looked for more information on their Jane Doe case, but realized that they couldn't go any further so Olivia decided to call it a day and asked Elliot to come to her place so they could talk.
Olivia Benson's Apartment – 3:30pm"Would you like something to drink?" Olivia asked, stepping into the kitchen.
"Sure."
"I have ginger ale, iced tea, or lemonade. I threw out all of the beer cans since I found out that I was pregnant."
"Smart girl," said Elliot, smiling, "doing what's best for our kid."
"At least I'm trying to," said Olivia, handing him a glass of lemonade while she took a glass of ginger ale. "I'm going to do whatever is best for this baby."
They both went in the living room and sat on the couch, each taking a sip of their drinks.
"When do you have to go back to the doctor?" Elliot asked Olivia.
"Next Wednesday at 4:00. Dr. Morris is going to do an ultrasound, so we'll get to hear the baby's heartbeat."
"You think Cragen will be suspicious of both of us taking off early?"
"Probably, but maybe you can get out of it by telling him that one of the kids has a doctor's appointment."
"That could work."
Meanwhile, Elliot and Olivia finished their drinks and Olivia went in the kitchen to wash a few dishes in the sink from last night when Elliot snuck up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Whoa, you're a sneaky little devil," said Olivia as Elliot's hands went up to her shoulders and his mouth found a spot on her neck that drove her wild. Then, he proceeded to her earlobe and began to suckle on it and Olivia tilted her head to give him better access.
"You know I am," said Elliot, pressing his body against Olivia's, which had her pinned up against the counter so she could feel his erection.
"We can't let this lead up to that, but...." Olivia began to feel his body becoming hard for her and she knew what he wanted and she was worked up herself anyway.
"I know," said Elliot, in between kisses to her neck and earlobe and sneaking his hands under her shirt and finding her breasts underneath her bra "but we don't have to let it lead up to that. Oh god, you feel so good, Liv."
About that time, Olivia let out a low moan and felt Elliot's body pressing harder against hers. He pulled up her shirt a little and saw the scar on her back that was starting to turn pink.
"Holy crap, Liv," said Elliot. "Did I do this to you?"
Olivia wiped her hands on a towel and was wondering what Elliot was saying. "Mmm, I don't know. Maybe I fell on the concrete," she said in a dreamy voice. She turned around and looked at Elliot in front of her, their lips only mere inches from each other. He smiled at her and Olivia couldn't resist and leaned in and kissed Elliot and wrapped her arms around his neck while Elliot's went to her cheek and then to her hair, massaging it. Olivia then proceeded to lead him out of the kitchen and into the bedroom, but stopped at the bedroom doorway where Elliot lifted Olivia's leg up where she could feel him throbbing. Both of them were in the moment when Elliot's cell phone began to ring. He let out a groan and broke the kiss and rested his forehead on Olivia's and opened up the phone.
"Stabler," he answered into the phone.
"Hi Dad," said Kathleen.
"Hi sweetie, is everything OK?" he asked.
"Yes, I was just wondering when you were going to be home."
Elliot at his watch, then at Olivia, and realized that it was 5:00, "I'll be home in just a little bit," he told Kathleen. "I'm over at Olivia's"
"Eww, they were kissing," called out the twins in the background.
"I'll talk to you guys at home," he said as he laughed at the twins. "Love you."
"I love you, Dad. Bye." said Kathleen.
Elliot hung up the phone and turned to Olivia. "I better go home so I feed my brood."
"Go ahead, and El, tell them I said hi,"
"I'll do that," said Elliot, as he and Olivia went in the living room and Elliot made a retreat to the door, but stopping to give Olivia a quick kiss.
"I love you, Liv."
"I love you too."
Dr. Samantha Morris' Office – 1 Week Later – Wednesday 4:15pm – 2 Months"So, you must be Elliot?" said Dr. Morris, as she stepped in the exam room where Elliot and Olivia were.
"That would be me," said Elliot, as he and Dr. Morris shook hands.
Dr. Morris smiled at Elliot and Olivia and said, "Well, I guess we will go ahead and get it started, Olivia." She went and got the ultrasound machine and the gel while Olivia lay down on the table, propping her head up, and Elliot stood behind her for support. They were about to hear their baby's heartbeat.
Dr. Morris turned on the machine and swabbed the gel on Olivia's abdomen and pressed the wand on it.
"See the little blob on the screen," she said, pointing to a black spot. "That's the baby's head."
"Oh, El," said Olivia as she reached her hand out to him and Elliot put in hand in hers and gave it a light squeeze, "It's so tiny." She turned to Dr. Morris and asked, "Is it too early to know the sex of the baby?"
"It's still too early right now, but in about in about your fourth or fifth month, depending on when the baby will decide to show itself off, I'll be able to tell." She moved the wand up a little more and said, "OK, guys, here's the heartbeat, this baby has a nice heart rate."
"Oh my gosh, I'm going to have a baby," said Olivia, almost tearing up.
Elliot smiled at Olivia and turned to Dr. Morris and asked, "Can we get a copy of the sonogram?"
"Sure," said Dr. Morris, retrieving a small picture and handing it to Elliot and then turning off the machine. "OK, Olivia, you're about eight weeks along, which is two months and everything is going well and looks normal. The conception date is estimated to be around May 22nd and a due date will be February 25th. I'll see you again next month."
"Thanks Dr. Morris," said Olivia.
Meanwhile, Elliot and Olivia walked out of the exam room and outside to the car and Olivia placed her hand on her stomach.
"Are you OK?" Elliot asked her when they got in the car.
"Yeah, I just can't describe this feeling that I'm having right now. We're having a baby."
"It's the motherly instinct that's kicking in," said Elliot, placing his hands on her belly, "and a baby that's part of you and me."
Olivia smiled at him and then said; "I think that I'm ready to tell the kids about the baby. They should know that they're going to have a new little brother or sister."
"Are you sure?" he asked. She nodded. "OK, we can tell them tonight and I will cook dinner for all of us."
"Sounds good."
Elliot started the car and he and Olivia went back to her apartment so she could freshen up before going to his house for dinner.
