Shout out to V, Taylor, Shelby and Kami for keeping me writing. This one was never supposed to see the light of day so without them it wouldn't have been published. I love you all can you hear me? 3
Four month later…
At nearly six months pregnant, Olivia was fully showing and in Elliot's eyes, glowing. She was still working, but resigned to desk duty much to her chagrin. Today he had been anxious at work because she had to spend most of her day at court alongside Casey. She'd been gone since before 7 in the morning and it was almost 8 at night now. She had texted a while ago saying she was on her way home though and he was anxiously waiting upstairs in their bedroom.
When he heard the front door open he let out a sigh of relief knowing she was home where she belonged. He heard the click of her boots on the floor, "El?"
Smiling to himself he called back to her, "Upstairs."
After another minute, she appeared in the doorway looking exhausted, "Hey."
Standing up he immediately walked over to her, placed both hands on her tense shoulders and kissed her forehead and then her lips, "Hey. Long day…"
She leaned into him and smiled, "Yeah. But I'm good." He pulled back to look at her, "He was found guilty on all charges. 25 to life. Cara got her justice. We went to dinner with her after…she was a mess."
Elliot moved her further into the room, "Well I'm glad. But I don't like you working so late…"
She smiled and started to pull off her clothes, "I know. I know…I'm sorry."
He saw her reaching for one of his sweatshirts to put on and he smiled, "Don't change yet…"
She laughed and looked at him over her shoulder, her hand resting on her bump, "Hon, I love you. But…I'm so damn tired tonight I-"
"I know." He walked over and wrapped his arms around her from behind, "Which is why you need to relax."
She frowned when she felt him moving her backwards, "El?"
"Shhh…" He kissed her temple before turning her towards the bathroom, "Just trust me."
He pushed the bathroom door open and she gasped when she saw what was on the other side. The tub was full, her favorite scented bubble bath and oils already inside with rose petals lining the outside of the tub and the floor. Candles were placed around the small room and quiet music played, "Elliot…"
He walked her towards the tub and flipped off the lights, "Let me help you get in."
She turned back to him and smiled, "Have I told you lately that I'm really glad I married you?"
He smiled and carefully helped ease her into the tub not wanting her to slip, "A few dozen times. But I'm glad you still feel that way."
She sighed softly as she leaned back, resting her head against the lip of the tub, "God this is heaven right now…"
Sitting on the little stool beside the tub, his fingers lingered in the water and then moved towards her belly, "How's your mini me doing today?"
Olivia's eyes fluttered open and she smiled, resting her hands beside his, "She's good. Growing like crazy…I'm starting to feel her more and more."
His hand lingered, caressing the bump, "We still need to decide on a name…"
She frowned and closed her eyes, "Well the only one you keep suggesting is Olivia and we're not doing that."
He laughed and adjusted the stool so it was behind the tub allowing him to begin massaging her shoulders. She moaned softly and he smiled, dropping a kiss to the top of her head, "Why not? We both know like you she'll have me wrapped around her little finger from the moment she is born. Hell…she already does."
Sighing, she leaned into his touch and slipped further into the tub, "Mmm…that's true. But the world does not need another Olivia Benson."
He grunted and pressed his thumbs into her neck harder, "Olivia Benson-Stabler," He heard her laugh and he continued, "But I beg to differ. The world could definitely use another Olivia Benson. It would be a much better place in fact…"
Lifting her arm out of the water, she placed her hand on his arm, pulling him closer, "This is all real, right?" He didn't answer and she smiled, "I'm not dreaming? We're married? I live in the suburbs? And I'm pregnant with our daughter?"
He leaned forward, pressing his lips to the side of her face and whispered, "It's real Liv. This…is our life."
Biting down on her lip she turned slightly, adjusting her head so she could look at him, "And you're still happy?"
His eyes were soft, she saw herself getting lost in the deep blue of them as he whispered, "Olivia, I have never in my life been happier."
Leaning her head into the crook of his neck she sighed and closed her eyes, "Me either."
He smiled and slowly started to move, "Hold onto that thought."
She frowned as he started to pull away from her, "Where are you going?"
He shook his head and once again moved the stool beside her, he straddled it and leaned down to kiss her. "Shhh, just relax."
Her breath caught in her throat as his lips captured hers and she melted into the moment. She couldn't deny that she was completely exhausted. Being pregnant and working this much was taking its toll but she hated admitting that. Especially because if she knew she told him, he'd insist she stop working. All the tension began to leave her body as he continued to kiss her, and the warmth of the water, the aroma of the bubbles and the oils surrounded her. Her hand clung to his left arm, holding herself up in the slippery tub. She was so wrapped up in him she didn't notice his right hand slipping below the water until she felt him begin to caress her thighs.
She sighed into his mouth and pulled away slightly, "What are you doing?"
"Stop asking so many questions." He said with a little chuckle as he kissed her nose, "Just relax…let me take care of you for once."
Resting her head on the back of the tub she moaned softly, "For once? You always take care of me…"
"And you take care of me." He whispered softly to her, "That's what being in a marriage is all about."
His hand slid between her thighs and they parted instinctively, "Elliot…"
"Olivia…" He teased as his fingers began to rub her clit gently, "Just let go…"
Unable to hold out any longer, she felt her eyes flutter shut as a slow smile spread on her lips, "I didn't even need to wear the dress to get this kind of special treatment."
He laughed and pressed his thumb firmly against her clit, rotating slowly, "You don't ever need to wear the dress to get me to touch you. Just say the word babe…"
She moaned softly and ran her fingers up and down her side, grazing her belly and up along her breasts, "That's good to know since the dress may never fit me again…so remember you said that."
Smiling, he pressed his lips to the side of her face, "Olivia, you are always going to be the most beautiful woman in the world. Trust me when I say that."
She arched her back and slowly tugged on her nipple, "Elliot…"
Biting down hard on his lip, he watched her body move below the surface of the water, "God Liv…you have no idea how sexy you are."
Looking up at him through heavy eyes she whispered, "Belly and all?"
"Belly and all. Seeing you carrying our child makes you even more beautiful to me." He pressed his finger up and she groaned softly, "I can't get enough of you."
Her eyes closed tight again and her hand moved to grip the side of the tub, "Oh my God…"
"That's it…" He said with a teasing smile, "Let me relax you babe."
Her back arched again and she sighed, "You're doing a hell of a job Stabler…don't stop."
Leaning in, he pressed his lips to her neck, sucking hard on her pulse point. He groaned against her skin and moved his fingers harder, his arm splashing slightly in the water. Her fingers curled around the side of the tub and she rocked her body against his hand, the water and bubbles swirling around her. Biting down hard on her earlobe he moved his fingers harder, alternating between thrusting his fingers into her and gently rubbing her clit, her body shuddered and shook with his movements.
His free hand wrapped around her neck and his fingers tangled in her hair, "Look at me."
She whimpered softly and looked up at him, her lips swollen from her kiss, "Elliot…"
"I've got you." He said with a smile, his fingers pressing into the back of her neck, "Let go for me. Come on baby."
She felt it building and her heart started pounding harder, "El…please…"
Leaning in, he kissed her, tugging on her lower lip with his teeth and easing the pressure with his tongue, "I love you."
She gripped the lip of the tub tighter and leaned further into him, "I love you."
He kissed her again, slowly, not closing his eyes as he watched hers flutter closed and he felt her giving in. Thrusting his fingers quicker, harder he felt her body begin to tense and then shudder, her breathing intensified as she gave in to him. Resting her forehead against his she sighed, "Damn El…"
He smiled and kissed her lips, her cheeks and then the tip of her nose, "Feel better?"
She smiled and reached her hand out to trace the lines on his face, "Definitely."
Pulling back slightly he smiled and nodded, "I'm glad." He reached behind him and grabbed a towel, drying off his arm, "Now relax some more…"
She pouted when he stood up, "You're leaving?"
He leaned down and kissed the top of her head, "My work here is done. Take the time to enjoy the quiet Liv…our lives are about to get a lot louder soon enough." Dimming the lights more he smiled, "Call me when you're ready to get out though. I don't want you to slip."
She sank lower into the water and watched him walk towards the door, "Hey Stabler?"
Turning back to her he waited, "Yeah?"
Her foot reached out and touched the back of the tub, "Thank you for this life."
Winking at her he squeezed the side of the doorframe, "Happy wife, happy life."
She laughed softly as he pulled away and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Taking a deep breath, she leaned back against the tub again and wrapped her arms protectively around her belly, "Hey girlie…your Daddy is the absolute best. I hope you know that."
Two weeks later, they had still not settled on a name but Olivia wasn't feeling stressed. Everyone was at the precinct, they had just closed a case and everyone was filling out their paperwork at their own desks. Olivia was so focussed on what she was doing, she hadn't noticed the woman walking into the precinct until she heard her talking.
"Hello, I'm looking for Detective Benson?" She said.
Everyone looked over and Olivia gasped, "Addy…" Standing up she walked closer to her, "Hi…"
Adeline, the young woman from Oregon smiled and looked down at Olivia's growing belly, "Well would you look at that…"
Olivia smiled and looked down at her belly, "Oh…yeah. Things have changed a bit since I saw you last."
Elliot, Fin and John were watching them and Addy blushed, "Um…think we can go somewhere and talk privately?"
"Oh. Sure." Olivia pointed to the room beside Cragen's office, "I'll be right there."
Addy smiled and moved towards the small room. Elliot stood up and walked over to his wife, placing a hand on her lower back, "Whose that?"
Turning towards him she smiled, "She…was someone I met while I was in Oregon. She's one of the girls we helped to get out."
Elliot looked behind her into the small room, "Oh."
She smiled, leaned up and kissed his cheek, "She's harmless. I promise. I'll be right back."
His hand lingered a little longer and he frowned, "Liv…"
She winked at him and smiled, "I'm not going anywhere Stabler." Placing her hand over her belly she smiled, "Me and baby girl Stabler need you."
He relaxed slightly and nodded, pulling his hand back so she could walk away. Olivia moved towards the room and walked in, closing the door behind them, "Can I get you anything? Coffee here is terrible. But we have a soda machine, or I can get some water."
"No. I'm good. But thank you." Addy smiled and sat down at the table, "Was that Elliot?"
Olivia looked behind her and saw Elliot slowly walking back to his desk, she smiled and nodded, "Yes. That's Elliot…"
Addy leaned against the table and smiled, "And is he the man that put that rock on your finger and…" She laughed and gestured towards her belly, "Well…you know."
Olivia laughed and rubbed her belly affectionately, "Yes. We got married…and I'm pregnant. It's a girl…"
"Well, you got everything you were dreaming about in Oregon." She said with a smile, "I'm really happy for you."
Moving to sit beside her, Olivia pulled the chair out and sat down, "Thank you Addy. I did get everything I wanted…everything and more."
Addy lifted her hands and smoothed them against the table, "Starr helped me find you…I hope that's okay."
"It's okay." Olivia whispered, "I'm glad you did. I was wondering what happened to you…I hoped you were okay."
Addy smiled softly and shrugged, "I'm…hangin in there. Taking it one day at a time."
"That's all you can do." She replied, "You went through a lot…"
Addy looked down at her hands and frowned, "If you hadn't come that night…he would have either killed me or put me on a plane and sent me…" Her voice broke and she looked back up at him, "He was selling girls…"
"I know." Olivia answered, "I know Addy…I'm so sorry. I know you trusted him."
"I don't know if I trusted him or I just wanted something to believe in." She answered, "Before I met him…I'd been in a long term relationship. I thought…he was the one. Thought we'd get married. Things were great for the first year…"
Olivia smiled sadly and leaned back in her chair, "And then he changed…"
"And then he changed." She smiled sadly and sighed, "He started to become possessive and controlling. He picked what I ate, when I ate, who I talked to, where I went and when. And I went with it because I just wanted to belong somewhere." Her cheeks flushed, "I didn't have a normal childhood…I was bounced around in foster care for years. I just wanted someone to love me." She paused and then shook her head, "I don't know why I'm telling you all this…you don't understand."
Olivia reached across the table and squeezed her hand, "I understand more than you would think." She looked down at her belly, "The life I have now is a far cry from the life I had growing up. I was always alone. And I was in plenty of relationships that were very wrong for me. You have nothing to be ashamed of."
Smiling sadly she whispered, "Colt found me after I broke up with my boyfriend…I had nowhere to go. I was in a shelter…he came by and preached this life. This place where we could be whoever we wanted to be. Where we would be safe and taken care of. I just jumped. I had no other choice and I was so scared that I believed him…I'm so stupid."
"Addy, Colt is a terrible person. He found people who needed support and used their darkest time to control them. You did nothing wrong. You are not stupid. You are so much stronger than you realized." She whispered.
Licking her lips she looked down, "After I got out of there…Starr got me an apartment. Helped me find a job. And I've…I've been happy."
Olivia smiled, "I'm glad. You deserve to be happy Adeline."
Addy cringed, "You know…that's not even my real name."
Olivia frowned and leaned back again, "It's not?"
She shook her head, "Addison. But Colt said it wasn't sophisticated enough. So he made me change it to Adeline. But…most people have always called me Addy."
Smiling Olivia said, "I happen to love the name Addison."
Addy smiled and moved to stand up, "I don't have much time…but I really just wanted to come and say thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have…" She blushed and shook her head, "Well I probably wouldn't be here. So thank you…"
Olivia stood up and walked over to her, "No need to thank me Addy. I was just doing my job."
Looking down at her belly, Addy smiled, "Your daughter is going to be very lucky to have a Mother like you. She'll never question her worth or if she is loved."
Olivia pressed her hand into her belly and smiled, "Thank you…"
The two women hugged and Addy moved to walk away, Elliot was walking towards the room and she smiled, "You Elliot?"
Elliot looked down at her and nodded, "I am."
Addy looked over at Olivia and smiled, "You better take good care of your girls. They deserve the world."
Elliot looked back at his wife and smiled, "Yes. They do. And I will."
"Good." She turned back to him and smiled, "She really loves you, you know. Don't take that for granted."
When she walked away Elliot turned back to Olivia and she had tears in her eyes, "Addison."
Elliot leaned against the door frame, "What?"
She smiled and placed her hand over her belly, rubbing it affectionately, "Addison Stabler. Addy. That's what I want to name her."
Walking into the room, Elliot placed his hand right beside hers and smiled, "We can't wait to meet you Addison. You are already so loved."
Two days past her due date, Olivia was more than ready to have Addison. She was exhausted and desperate to meet her daughter. Elliot woke up before the sunrise, rolling over to reach for her but she was nowhere to be found. Sighing, he threw the covers up and went to find her. She was supposed to be on bedrest until the baby was born.
Walking down the hallway, he wasn't surprised to find her pacing in the nursery, "Olivia…"
She turned back to him and shook her head, "She's gotta go."
He laughed and leaned against the wall, "She'll come when she's ready."
"Well she needs to be ready right now." She said looking down at her belly, "There is no room. I can't breathe. I can't eat anything. She's taken over everything."
Elliot sighed and walked over to her and began to rub her belly, "She just beats to her own drum. Just like her Mom."
"So this is my fault?" She said looking up at him, "Are you calling me stubborn? I am not stubborn!"
Elliot smiled nervously, "I…didn't say that. I was just saying she was a strong, independent girl who did things on her own timeline."
"Well…" She pressed her hands onto either side of her belly, "Addison, time's up. Get the hell out!"
Sighing, he reached for her arm and moved her towards the chair in the corner, "Come sit…"
Olivia whimpered and let him lower her onto the seat and let him lift her feet up onto the ottoman in front of her, "Don't they say sex can induce labor?" She groaned and then leaned her head back against the chair, "Oh forget it…the thought of you touching me right now makes me sick."
Elliot frowned, "I'm gonna let that slide because I know you are miserable…but she's gonna come soon. I know it."
Turning to look at him she frowned, "I want her. You know that. Right? That's not what this is about."
"I know Liv. You don't need to tell me how much you love our daughter. I know. But you've been pregnant for a long time and you're ready to get her out." He said with a smile, "Doesn't mean you don't love her."
Her eyes started to close as she began to drift off to sleep, "I'm exhausted."
"I know." He pressed his lips to her temple and smiled, "I know. But you're doing great babe. She'll be here soon…I can feel it." Squeezing her arm he whispered, "Let me take you back to bed."
Slowly he lifted her up and walked her towards their bedroom, "When I start cursing you when I'm actually in labor…just remember that I do love you."
He laughed and pulled back the covers, helping her into the bed, "I know honey. I know."
Snuggling down into the pillows she sighed, "I guess I should sleep now while I can…"
"Exactly." Sitting down beside her he ran his hands through her hair, "Rest now babe. I'm right here."
She smiled and began to drift off to sleep, hands on her belly finally feeling relaxed at least for now.
Two hours later, Elliot woke up with a start when Olivia slammed her hand into his chest, "Wake up!"
He jumped and looked over at her, "What? What's wrong?"
She gripped her belly and whimpered, "She's ready now…"
Elliot whipped the blanket off of him and moved into overdrive, "She's coming?"
Gripping the side of the comforter she grimaced, "Uh huh. At least I'm assuming that's what this is…"
Elliot frowned and looked back at her as he pulled on a pair of pants, "What?"
She pressed her head back against the headboard, "It feels like she's trying to kill me…so I'm going with she's ready."
He couldn't help but laugh but she shot him a look and smiled nervously, "Sorry. Sorry…okay. Let's go."
He grabbed her bag, threw it over his shoulder and walked over to her, helping her up out of the bed. She whimpered and reached for his shoulder, "El?"
When she was standing in front of him, he caressed the side of her face and smiled, "Everything is going to be okay. I promise…"
She smiled nervously and nodded, "We're having a baby…"
Leaning forward, he pressed his lips to the top of her head and whispered, "Hell yeah we are Benson. Let's do this."
After a grueling 12 hour labor, Addison Marie Stabler was born at 8lbs, 4 oz and 19 inches long. She was given a clean bill of health, Mom was a rockstar as usual and Elliot was in awe of both of his girls. Sitting up on the bed, Olivia rested against his chest, as she stared down at the little sleeping girl in her arms.
"She's perfect." Olivia whispered with a sigh, "She's so cute I already forgive her for the pain she just caused me."
Elliot laughed and rubbed her arm, kissing the top of her head, "She is beautiful…just like her Mom."
Olivia reached a hand out and touched her tiny cheek, "Do you think she knows how loved she is already?"
"Of course she does." He whispered, "She can feel it. I'm sure of it."
"I hope so." Olivia answered, tears welling in her eyes, "I just want her to be happy…to feel loved and to know that she will always be loved by us. No matter what."
Moving his hand, he touched the top of Addison's head and smiled, "She'll know Olivia. I promise."
Tilting her head, she looked back at him and smiled nervously, "I know you've been through this before. I'm sure I look like a blubbering mess…I'm sorry."
Elliot shook his head and leaned in to kiss her, "Yeah, I did this before. But never with you. I love her just as much as I love my four other kids. And I always will."
Swallowing the lump in her throat she glanced up at him and held Addison close, "You kept your promise…"
He smiled down at her and said, "I did?"
"You did. You told me that you'd give me my dream. Whatever I wanted." Looking down at her daughter she sighed happily, "This…this was my dream El. And I'm so damn glad I get to share it with you."
Dropping another kiss to the top of her head he smiled and held both of his girls close, "I'm so damn glad you wanted me to be the one you shared it with."
Her eyes began to drift closed, knowing that Elliot would keep them both asfe, "It was always you El. Always."
By the time Addison was six months old, Olivia was back at work. And while she was happy to be back to the job she loved, it had been hard separating from her daughter. Working at SVU had always been a challenge, meeting the victims, especially the children always pulled at her heartstrings. But now, being a Mother she felt everything even more deeply. The last few days had been particularly hard. The case they were working on involved a Mother who had killed her baby and Olivia couldn't understand how she could have done something so horrific.
She'd stayed late tonight and by the time she pulled into the driveway she felt a breakdown coming. Elliot had left a few hours before her to pick up Addy at daycare and bring her home. They alternated as often as they could so that she could be home with one of them. Maureen often helped, wanting to be involved as much as possible. And sometimes, even Bernie took care of her Granddaughter. Since the wedding, Elliot had been determined to improve his relationship with his Mother knowing that if he didn't, he'd regret it someday. Sitting in the driveway, Olivai's hands still rested on the steering wheel.
Her body hurt. Her mind was racing. Everytime she closed her eyes, all she saw was the little baby they had been unable to save. And everytime the child would morph into Addison and panic filled her body. She felt the tears coming, felt the dam beginning to break. She thought about all the years that she had gone home alone after a case like this. All the nights she'd curled up on the couch and cried herself to sleep feeling more alone than ever. But when she looked up at her house, she saw the light in Addison's room was on.
She wasn't alone anymore…
Opening the car door, she began to walk up towards the front door and let herself in. It was quiet downstairs, but she could hear movement upstairs. Glancing at the clock, she knew that Elliot would be putting Addison down soon. She wanted to see her baby before she went to sleep, to know she was alive and well and all of this wasn't a dream. Kicking off her boots and pulling off her coat, she moved towards the stairs, willing the tears to not fall. As she walked down the hall, she could hear Addison fussing slightly but she could also hear Elliot humming something.
It took her a moment, but when she got closer to the bedroom, she knew. He had his back to her, not realizing she was home quiet yet and she was happy to have this moment. Addison's room was littered with twinkle lights and it was the only thing lighting up the room. Addison was wrapped up in her favorite blanket, pressed against her Father's chest as he hummed to her.
Even without the words, she knew the song. Every little thing she does is magic…as she watched him rock and dance with their daughter in her room, it reminded her of their camping trip in Oregon. Dancing under the stars when it was just the two of them. And now, now this was her life. The tears came, but not because she was sad anymore. But because she was so damn grateful that now after a long hard day, she had this to come home too.
Elliot turned slowly, sensing her and he smiled, "Look baby, Mommy is home."
Olivia stood there, still just wanting to watch them, "Hey…"
The look on her face told him everything he needed to know. Like her, he had felt this case more than most. When he'd picked up Addy at daycare, he'd held her closer. He'd had to pull over just to give himself a few minutes with his daughter to remind himself that she was okay. It never got easier…and he knew it never would. Holding Addison close against his chest, he reached his hand out for her, "Come here."
Swallowing hard, she moved towards him and wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her hand on Addison's back, "El…"
He shook his head and kissed the top of her head and began to sway them both, "Shh…"
She sighed and rested her head against his shoulder and listened to him as he hummed the song softly to both of them. Tears burned in her eyes again and she didn't try to hide them. She knew she didn't have to hide them from Elliot. He loved her on her good and bad days and she'd never been more thankful for that. She knew he knew she was crying but he didn't say a word, just kept dancing with them both.
His hand rubbed up and down her back and he whispered, "I've got you both. I always will."
"I know." She whispered to him, "I know. I love you."
"I love you too." Bending his head he kissed the top of Addison's head and whispered, "I love both of you."
Two months later, Addison was eight months old and finally, Elliot was whisking Olivia off to their long awaited Honeymoon. With their wedding happening so quickly, they had not had time to plan one which was more than okay with both of them. And then with the pregnancy and a newborn, they had decided to wait a little longer. But Elliott was ready, and he knew that despite being worried about leaving their daughter, Olivia needed the getaway too.
After a teary goodbye, they were now sitting on a warm beach in Aruba. Olivia was laid out on a lounge chair soaking up the sun and Elliot was sitting beside her, a book he had every intention of reading abandoned on his lap. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. He was so lost in her he didn't notice she knew he was watching until he heard her laughing, "What?"
She turned her head towards him and smiled, "How's that book of yours coming Stabler?"
He snorted and closed the book, tossing it on the table between them, "It's a dud." He smirked and reached for his beer, "I can't help but be distracted…"
She rolled her eyes and looked back up, "Please…We should have waited another four months at least and then maybe I'd look like my old self."
Elliot shook his head, swung his leg up over the side of the chair and moved towards her, "Olivia…yesterday I had to scare off three different men who were drooling all over you. And today while you were napping here…I had to give the waiter the old death glare so he knew to back the hell off." reaching for her hand, he pulled it ot his chest and kissed her knuckles, "You're fucking gorgeous."
She frowned and looked over at him, "You're very sweet…but I still don't feel quite like I used to."
He ran his hand along the side of her body, "Olivia…if there weren't a million damn people on this beach I'd take you right now."
She laughed and looked over at him, "We do like to push the boundaries of our sex life…"
He wiggled his eyebrows and smiled, "We sure do. And I wish I could make everyone leave right now…"
Looking down she laughed when she saw that he was in fact hard and ready for her, "Jesus Elliot…"
He leaned in, kissing her gently, "Told you, you're sexy as all hell Benson. I can't help myself when I'm around you."
She shook her head, stood up and pointed towards the water, "Benson-Stabler. Come on…I think you need to cool down."
He pushed himself up off the ground, adjusted himself and groaned, making her laugh harder, "It's not that funny."
"It is. A little bit." She took his hand and they walked towards the waters edge together, "You're like a honry teenage boy. Not a middle aged married man."
Letting go of her hand, he walked backwards and smiled at her, "Liv, I can pretty much guarantee I'll be an old man in a nursing home still sporting a hard on when you walk by."
She laughed and watched him jump backwards into the water, "That'll be a sight to see."
He resurfaced, wiping the water from his face and reached out for her, "Are you joining me or am I swimming alone?"
She sighed and walked further into the water, "It's cold…"
He stood up, quickly lifted her and felt her wrap her legs around his waist, "I'll warm you right up."
She laughed and then shrieked as he lowered them into the water, "Doesn't that defeat the purpose of a swim to cool you down?"
He chuckled and pressed his lips to her neck, "It's your own damn fault for looking so good…"
She sighed and let her head fall back as he spun them, pulling them deeper into the water, "I guess I should be grateful that you still want me post baby."
He moaned loudly and sucked harder on her neck, "If you need me to tell you until the end of time…I'll keep reminding you and showing you…" His fingers gripped her ass and squeezed, "How badly I will always want you."
She smiled and looked back at him, "Hey El?"
He pulled his lips from her neck and smiled, he pushed back her brown hair and smiled, "Yeah?"
Taking a deep breath she asked, "Do you ever think about what would have happened if we hadn't run into each other that night?"
Elliot smiled and shrugged, "No. I don't want to think about it…"
She laughed and began to massage the back of his neck, "Why not?"
"Because…I can't imagine not being here right ntow. Not having Addy." He shook his head, "I don't want to imagine how stubborn I would have been…afraid to say something."
She smiled sadly, understanding what he was saying, "We were both stubborn…it wasn't just you El. We both kept our feelings hidden for a long time."
"We did. But we're here now." He whispered, leaning down to kiss her, "And I will spend forever making sure you know how much I love you, our family. All of it."
She smiled and touched his cheek, "And you'll follow me wherever I go?"
He smiled and nodded, "Just send me the miles babe and I'll be happy to follow you."
Lifting her hands, she pushed down on the top of his head, "I love you husband."
He chuckled as he felt himself slipping below the water, "Love you too wife."
She squealed when he lifted her hips and flipped her up over his head. When she crashed into the water he pulled her back up and kissed her square on the lips and they both knew. It didn't matter how long it had taken them to get here, they were never letting each other go now.
On the last night of their honeymoon, they had eaten at the nicest restaurant on the Island. Danced under the stars on the beach and promised to come back again someday. They were now climbing in the elevator of the resort to go back up to their suite for one last night together. They were looking through pictures on Olivia's phone and not paying much attention when suddenly the elevator jolted. Elliot grabbed onto Olivia's hips and steadied her, "What the hell was that?"
Elliot stood up straighter and moved towards the doors, pressing the button for their floor again he growled, "Son of a bitch. I think we're stuck."
Pulling at her dress, Olivia frowned, "What do you mean stuck?"
"I mean I think the Elevator broke down." He said with a heavy sigh, he moved and pressed the emergency button, "Hello?"
"I'm so sorry!" A voice said through the speaker, "Are you okay?"
Elliot looked back at his wife, "We're…fine. But…what is going on?"
"We are having a bit of a technical issue. But…someone is on their way to come look at it. It could…take a while though." The man said. "I'm so…so sorry."
Elliot huffed and stood back, "Great. Just great…just how I wanted to spend our last night here."
Olivia smiled sadly and reached for his hand pulling him closer, "Well at least we're together…"
He looked down at her and frowned, "Sorry Liv…"
Reaching for him she pulled him close and shook her head, "What are you apologizing for? You didn't make the elevator break down. It's okay."
He felt her hands wind around the back of his neck and he pouted some more, "What the hell are we gonna do while we're stuck in here?" He lifted his phone and sighed, "I barely have any service…"
Olivia took his phone and put it back in his back pocket, her hand lingering, "Oh…I've got a few ideas."
He looked down at her, eyebrow raised and then eh smield, "Mrs. Stabler…what are you suggesting?"
She laughed and moved her lips to his neck, sucking gently, "I seem to remember that at the beginning of our relationship…we had elevator sex on our fantasy list."
He chuckled and pressed her back into the wall, "We did."
"Well if you ask me…" She whispered, "This would be our chance…"
He sighed happily and cradled her face in his hands, "My God I love you…"
She laughed and reached between them, tugging on his belt, "Good."
He moved closer to her but she shook her head and ducked her head, lowering herself between them, "Dear God you are the perfect woman…"
She laughed and pulled his pants down, smiling up at him, "No boxers?"
He shrugged, "Ran out yesterday…"
She rolled her eyes and smiled, "How you manage to take care of yourself each day is a mystery…"
He went to respond but his words caught in his throat when he felt her lips wrap around the tip of him, "Huh-but you take such good care of me baby." He groaned when she pulled him deeper into her mouth. His hand reached out and braced against the wall, the other wound itself in her hair, tugging slightly, "The best care…fuck."
She laughed and pulled away, licking her way up from the base of him, "Glad you think so honey."
Biting his lip, he looked down at her as her eyes looked up at him, full and bright and he smiled, "Whatever I did in a past life to deserve you…I thank myself daily."
She laughed again and pulled him closer, her hands raking down the back of his thighs. He hissed loudly and felt himself slipping further into her warm, wet mouth. His head fell back as he hit the back of her throat and his hips thrust forward. He felt her moan around him, not even flinching as she took all of him with ease. The vibrations caused by her movement made him shudder and he couldn't believe this was actually happening. Pulling back, she pumped him slowly with her hands and smiled up at him, "Still sad the elevator broke down?"
"Hell no." He growled, tugging on her hair again, "This is so fucking sexy…"
She smiled and kissed her way up and down his cock, her hand cradling his balls, "Yeah?"
"Liv…" He sighed as she squeezed a little harder, "God you aren't real…"
She laughed and whispered, "Oh I'm real." and took him back into her mouth, bobbing her head up and down faster and he tensed.
"Fucking hell…" He tugged harder on her hair, "Liv…Jesus Christ…Stop."
She pouted and pulled back looking up at him through heavy lidded eyes, "But I don't wanna…"
He shook his head and tugged on her arms, "I need to be inside of you. Right fucking now."
Her lips curled up into a smile and let him pull her up, "Oh yeah?"
He pressed her against the wall again, tangling his hands in her hair and pulling her up against his chest, "You make me crazy."
She arched her back slightly, pressing her chest into his, his cock nestling between her thighs under the hem of her dress, "El…I want you."
He groaned and moved his hand down her side, pushing up the material of her dress. He gasped when he felt that she too didn't have any underwear on, "Olivia…"
She chuckled, "Didn't run out…I just love how turned on you get when you realize I've had nothing underneath the whole time." His fingers moved between her legs and she rocked her hips against him, his thumb grazing her clit, "El…fuck I need you."
He bit down hard on his lip and slipped his finger up inside of her with ease, "So fucking wet…"
She whimpered and clung to his arms, "El…no teasing. I need you."
He smiled and thrust a second finger up inside of her, "You'll have to be more specific than that Olivia. I'm not sure what exactly you want."
Her head fell back slightly and she pushed down on his hand, "I want you to fuck me Elliot."
He smiled and leaned in, biting her neck, "With my fingers?"
She smiled and squeezed his shoulder, "Tempting…but no."
He kissed his way across her chest and smiled, "Then what do you want?"
Digging her nails into his neck she whispered, "Your cock. I want you to fuck me right now in this elevator with your cock. I need it."
He groaned against her sun kissed skin and bunched up the material of her dress, "Ahhh…that's more specific." He held her leg around his waist and bent his knees, using his other hand to tease her with his cock the tip of him running along the length of her pussy and over her clit, "You sure?"
She pouted softly, looking at him with pleading eyes, "God yes. Please! Now Elliot. Now!"
"It is our Honeymoon…" He whispered and then quickly thrust forward, filling her making her cry out, "Can't disappoint my wife."
She sighed happily and lifted her other leg, wrapping it around his waist, "Oh you never do. Fuck you never do…"
He smiled and slammed his hips back before filling her again and again, "Olivia…Jesus Christ…"
Her heart was pounding as he fucked her into the elevator wall. The only sounds she could hear were the slapping of their bodies connecting, him panting in her ear and her moans that filled the small space. "Oh God…Elliot…fuck you feel so good."
He pulled his face away from her neck and kissed along her jaw, "Olivia…" She squeezed down on him and he hissed, "A-are you trying to kill me?"
She laughed and cradled his face in her hands, "If I killed you, I'd be very sad. No one fucks me like you."
He growled and held her closer, crushing his lips to hers, "And no one ever will again. Right?"
She smiled and dug her fingers into the back of his neck, "God no. You. Only you. Don't fucking stop…please don't stop."
He pushed forward, harder, faster, his cock going as deep as possible and she screamed, "I can't believe we're doing this…"
She laughed as she felt the pleasure building, "Just another check on our list…"
He laughed and moved to kiss her again, "What's next?"
She smiled down at him, "Squad car?"
He chuckled and thrust faster, "I'm so fucking glad I married you."
She smiled and held him closer, her body aching as he fucked her hard and fast against the elevator wall. She knew she'd feel this in the morning but she didn't care. It was more than worth it. She sighed and leaned her head back as he latched onto her neck again, "Right there El. Fuck me…I'm so close."
Biting down on her collarbone he groaned, "Come on Liv. Come. Come for me."
She whimpered and felt her breathing get harder, "I-I-"
"That's it baby…" He kissed her neck, "Let go. I want to feel you let go for me."
She wrapped her legs tighter around his waist and felt her whole body tense, "Oh my God!"
He slammed forward again, burying his cock inside of her and she came hard and fast. Her pussy clenched down around him and he struggled to keep thrusting because she was so tight, pulling him deeper. He slammed his hand into the wall behind them and groaned loudly, "Olivia…"
She gasped when she felt his own release, the warmth of him sending another shockwave of pleasure through her, "Damn babe…"
He grunted and kissed his way along her neck and her jaw to her lips, "Fucking hell…"
She laughed and felt her legs slide down his waist, "Uh huh…"
He sighed happily and began to slide down the wall beside her, adjusting his pants as he fell to the floor, "Am I dead?"
Adjusting her dress, she sat down beside him, curling up against his side, kicking her heels off, "Nope. We're both very much alive."
He sighed and pressed his lips to the top of her head as she rested against his shoulder, "You good?"
Smiling, she ran her fingers along his hand, tracing the gold band on his finger, "Dear God yes…"
He moved his arm around her and pulled her close, "Hell of a way to end our Honeymoon…"
She smiled about to say something and then looked up, noticing something in the corner, "Oh my God…."
He frowned and tilted her head up, "What? What's wrong?"
She pressed her hands to her lips and laughed harder, "Um…I forgot something about elevators."
He was still watching her, concerned, "What?"
She pointed up, "They all have cameras…"
Elliot's head whipped around and then he started to laugh, "Christ…"
Ducking her head again, she pressed her lips to his chest, "Maybe we can ask for the tape. A little souvenir of our trip…"
He laughed and wiped a hand over his face, "We're insane…"
"We are." She agreed tilting her head back to kiss him, "But I love you."
Reaching out, he held her face in his hand and sighed, "And I love you."
Just as he moved to kiss her, they heard a voice through the speaker, "Uh…you two okay in there?"
Olivia snorted and had to look down as Elliott spoke, "Yeah…yeah we're good."
The man cleared his throat, "The people are here now. You should be out of there shortly…"
"Great. Thanks." Olivia was still laughing and then Elliot nervously said, "Hey is there any chance…"
"I already stopped the tape and will have it at the front desk for you." The man said nervously, "I uh…didn't…I didn't-"
"Yeah…thanks." Elliot said with a loud laugh and Olivia only laughed harder, "You guys will be getting a gold star rating, I can promise you that."
Elliot turned to look at Olivia who was laughing harder than he'd ever seen her laugh, "Oh my God…" She said as her body shook with laughter.
He shook his head and kissed her again, "The things you make me do woman…"
The day before Addison's first birthday…
Elliot sat behind the wheel, and took a deep breath. Ryan said something to him quickly and then Elliot turned to look out the window. His heart jumped in his chest when he saw what Ryan had been talking about. Climbing out of the small plane, Elliot moved quickly across the tarmac towards his wife and daughter.
"Look baby…" Olivia whispered as she bent down beside her daughter, "Your Dadda did it…he's officially a pilot."
He was a few feet away from her and stopped, "Liv…"
She smiled and looked down at their daughter, "Go on Addy…"
Elliot looked down and saw Addison's little legs begin to move forward, his wife supporting her from behind, "Addison…"
The young girl with the big brown eyes and curly brown hair giggled, "Dadda fly."
Elliot bent down and held out his arms, flying the last thing on his mind, "Come on baby…come on. You can do it."
Olivia held onto Addison's hand as long as she could before she had to let go. Addy stumbled slightly but caught herself and kept moving forward, determined in her journey. Elliot smiled and watched her walk towards him, her first steps, with that look on her face that so matched his wife's when she was on a mission. Another few steps and she was in his arms, and he had never been prouder, "Dadda fly!"
Elliot's face lit up and he quickly lifted her up, tossing her up into the air, "And Addy walked! My baby walked!"
Olivia walked up beside them and smiled, "Big day for both of you…"
Looking down at his wife Elliot whispered, "Olivia…"
Lifting her hand she touched the side of his face, "I'm so proud of you El. You went after your dream. I knew you could do it."
Leaning down, he kissed her lips and then Addy's cheek, "We both went after our dreams Liv. And I've never been happier."
She smiled and held them both, "Me either El. Me either."
Ryan walked up behind them and smiled, "God, you still make me sick."
Elliot laughed and looked over at them, "Too bad."
Ryan held out his hand, "So this is the temporary one…the real one will come soon. But you did it man. It's official. You are a licensed Pilot. Congratulations."
Elliot shook his hand, "I couldn't have done it without you Ryan. Thank you."
Ryan smiled and shook his head, "Yeah…you could have. But you couldn't have done it without her…"
Elliot looked down at his wife and smiled, "You're right…"
Olivia kissed his cheek and then turned to Ryan, "Can you take a picture of us?"
Ryan smiled and took out his phone, "Absolutely."
They stepped back closer to the plane and Olivia whispered to him, "Do I get to call you Captain Stabler yet?"
He laughed and peered down at her again, "You can call me whatever you want Liv…"
She smiled and squeezed him close, "My husband…Captain Stabler. Damn he's sexy…"
"Say cheese." Ryan said from in front of them, "Smile big Addy."
"Cheese!" Addy shouted and smiled big, making both her parents laugh, she turned to her Father again and said, "Dadda, fly!"
Elliot pulled back and lifted her once again, "You wanna fly baby? You wanna fly?"
Olivia smiled and watched as her husband held Addison high in the air, helping her fly on her own. Addy squealed with delight and the sound alone made her great flutter. This was the life she had always dreamed of, but never imagined she'd have. But when her eyes met Elliot's she knew that this was forever. And thank God for that…
