It was Elliot's birthday and Olivia was planning a surprise party for him. Fin and John were supposed to take him out for drinks while Olivia set everything up at her apartment and for people to arrive. The apartment was already half full with detectives from work or friends.
Olivia got the food ready and kept answering the door as people showed up. Another knock on the door came. She went to answer it.
"Well this is weird" Olivia said smiling seeing Luke, Casey and Cragen at the door.
"We showed at the same time by coincidence, it wasn't planned" Luke said smiling handing her a gift. Cragen handed her a box as well
"Well that explains it, thanks for the gift. Luke you mind going to wake up Haley she fell asleep in her room" Olivia asked as she put the two gifts down on a table full of gifts.
"Sure" Luke answered and headed for Haley's room.
"I'm going to go talk to Warner" Cragen said and went over to Melinda and her husband.
"I'm going to hang out with you" Casey said smiling as she helped Olivia set more food up.
"How's married life going?" Olivia asked smiling.
"Fun" Casey said smiling as Luke came out carrying Haley on his back.
"Where's daddy?" Haley asked sleepily.
"I don't think daddy will come" Olivia told her.
"Why not?" Haley asked.
"He has to work" Luke answered quickly. Not wanting to tell her the truth that Jeff and Elliot didn't get along.
"Oh" Haley mumbled and rested her head on Luke's shoulder.
"Hey stranger, you want some chocolate milk?" Casey asked smiling.
"Yup" Haley said lifting up her head with a smile.
"C'mon, let's go visit that Nesquik bunny" Luke said carrying her over to the kitchen.
"Jeff isn't coming?" Casey asked.
"Probably not," Olivia answered as her phone rang once and stopped "John and Fin are close with Elliot" Olivia said.
"You guys made a signal?" Casey teased smiling.
"Shut up" Olivia mumbled smiling and got everyone to be quiet and she turned off all the lights.
"Stupid darkness" Haley mumbled, everyone laughed and tried to be quiet again.
Luke took Haley into his arms and sneaked behind Casey on purpose and squeezed her butt gently. Casey jumped and slapped his hand. He just smiled; she smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Lets steal something of Olivia's while its dark" Luke said out loud. Everyone giggled
"Shut up Luke" Casey whispered.
"Yea, Shut up Luke" They heard Melinda say from the couch.
"Shut up Melinda" Luke said smiling.
"Shut up everybody" Cragen said smiling.
"Be quiet they're coming" Olivia whispered as she heard footsteps.
"You guys don't need to walk me here, its not like I'm drunk" They heard Elliot say as he unlocked the door.
"Shut up and look" Fin said smiling and flipped the light switch.
"Surprise!" The whole apartment yelled out.
"Oh, wow, Hi" Elliot said smiling looking at everyone.
"Happy birthday" Olivia said smiling hugging him and giving him a kiss.
"Yuck!" Haley said disgusted.
"Kissing is Yuck, that's why you should never do it" Luke said smiling and putting her on his back again.
"Thank you everyone for showing up" Elliot said smiling as he went around to say hi to everyone at the party.
"Great surprise, I almost got a heart attack," Luke said smiling.
"You'll live" Olivia said smiling as she took Haley off his back.
"Hopefully," Luke said and took Casey's hand "Lets go eat Olivia's food" He said pulling Casey toward the pizza. Olivia smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Mommy can daddy come?" Haley asked wrapping her hands around her neck.
"I don't know if he can honey" Olivia said.
"Can we call him and ask?"
"Um…he is probably busy"
"Elliot?" Haley called out.
"Yea?" Elliot asked stopping his conversation with Cragen and walking over to her.
"Can you call daddy and ask him if he can come cause he will listen to you cause its your birthday" Haley asked.
"Um…Haley I think your dad is at work" Elliot said glancing at Olivia looking for an answer.
"Please" Haley pleaded with her puppy face. The same puppy face Jeff had.
"Put that puppy face away and we will call him to ask" Olivia said kissing her on the cheek Haley just smiled. "I'll be right back," Olivia said smiling at Elliot. He smiled and nodded and went back to Cragen.
Olivia went into Haley's room with her and took her phone out and dialed a number.
"Michaels"
"Hey Jeff its me" Olivia said as she heard him answer.
"Oh hey liv, what's up?"
"Haley wants you at Elliot's party and I called to ask if you want to come"
"Oh…um…I'm kind of on a date"
"First date?" Olivia asked smirking.
"No, month long"
"Well if it's been a month then bring her over, Haley really wants you here and she wont stop asking for you until you're here" Olivia said smiling. She wanted to meet this woman more then anything.
"Hold on" He said. She could hear him talking to someone but she couldn't understand what was being said, "Yea, sure, we'll stop by," He said in the phone again.
"Ok, great, see you soon" Olivia said smiling.
"Ok, bye" He said and hung up. Olivia hung up as well.
"Is Daddy coming?" Haley asked looking up at Olivia.
"Yes daddy is coming. Lets go back to the party and wait for him" Olivia said taking her hand and walking out of the room with her. "Honey go talk to Aunt Casey for a second ok?"
"Ok" Haley said and went toward Casey as Elliot came by Olivia.
"You call him?" Elliot asked standing by Olivia.
"Yea, he is on a date so I told him to bring her as well, you enjoying your party?" Olivia asked smiling as she took his hand.
"Very much, thank you" He answered smiling and pulling her closer.
"I think your enjoying it too much" Olivia teased getting closer to his face.
"Are you going to show me how much I'm enjoying it later?" He whispered.
"I'll see" Olivia teased and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He smiled and gave her a kiss on the lips. She smiled and walked away on purpose so he would look at her. He did.
"Hey Elliot" Luke said grabbing a coke from the fridge.
"Hey Luke" Elliot said turning around to face him. "How's the marriage to an ADA going?" Elliot teased.
"Good" Luke answered smiling. "I thought your kids were going to be here"
"Oh, well they were supposed to but Kathy took them to her mothers and didn't want to drive here" Elliot said looking at the floor.
"Oh ok…well I'm going to go hang out with George, Happy birthday by the way" Luke said as he passed by him and went toward Huang.
"Thanks" Elliot mumbled.
"Hey what's wrong?" Olivia asked coming over to him.
"Nothing" Elliot answered forcing a smile on his face.
"It's something, what is it?" Olivia tried again.
"Just the kids aren't here, but lets not let it ruin the party, ok?" Elliot said taking her hand.
"Ok" Olivia agreed.
There was another knock on the door.
"I'll get it" Olivia said and went to open the door.
"Hey" Jeff said with a smirk. Next to him was a woman who had a nice figure, blue eyes, long brown hair and a gorgeous smile.
"Hi, come in" Olivia said moving out of the doorway. She knew the women since it was Haley's Kindergarten teacher.
"You met each other before probably, Olivia this is Sarah, Sarah this is Olivia" Jeff introduced.
"Yea we met, hi again," Sarah said smiling and shaking hands with Olivia.
"Hey Jeff" Luke called out from the kitchen as he mixed chocolate milk for Haley.
"Daddy, Daddy" Haley yelled running up to him. "Hi Ms. K" Haley said waving at Sarah and jumping into Jeff's arms.
"Hey you" Jeff said picking her up.
"Why didn't you come earlier?" Haley questioned wrapping her small hands around his neck.
"I…I had some work to do" Jeff said knowing that would be what Olivia would have told her.
"Oh, ok. Ms. K what are you doing here?" Haley asked looking at her teacher.
"Ms. K and I are friends, so she is going to hang out with us tonight" Jeff answered.
"Cool. Uncle Luke where is that milk?" Haley yelled out looking at Luke.
"Coming, Jeez relax" Luke said giving her the milk and taking her into his arms.
"Sarah this is my brother Luke" Jeff introduced. "That's his wife Casey," He said pointing at Casey.
"Well nice to meet all of you" Sarah said smiling.
"Uncle Luke your chocolate milk is bad. Ms. K can you make me chocolate milk like the one in school?" Haley asked giving Luke the milk and looking at Sarah.
"Sure, I'll be right back" Sarah said smiling at Jeff and taking Haley and going into the kitchen.
"Luke go give her the Nesquik" Olivia told him. Luke nodded and left. "So your dating Haley's teacher" Olivia said looking at Jeff.
"So?" He asked looking at her.
"Isn't that going to be weird for Haley, I mean seeing her teacher and her father together is going to make her think she can do whatever she wants in school" Olivia said crossing her arms on her chest.
"No it wont" Jeff said putting his hands in his pocket and walking over to a table to get a drink. Olivia followed.
"Why do you have to date her teacher?" Olivia asked in a low voice standing by him.
"Because we like each other, why do you have a problem with this?" Jeff asked in a low voice as he put ice in a glass.
"Because Haley will feel weird about it," Olivia answered in a low voice.
"No she wont, she likes her teacher, she's in Kindergarten for gods sake, I promise I wont date her Algebra teacher when she is in high school" Jeff said smirking.
"Did Haley see you two together before? Did she see you kiss her teacher before?" Olivia asked crossing her arms on her chest.
"Hey, is everything ok?" Elliot asked coming over to them.
"Everything is fine, Happy birthday," Jeff said as he poured Vodka into two glasses. He finally got out of the habit of not drinking because of Olivia after two years of their divorce.
"Thanks. Your date seems nice" Elliot said trying to lighten the mood.
"She is. She is Haley's Kindergarten teacher and Jeff is dating her," Olivia said rolling her eyes.
"When I want advice about who I date from my ex-wife I'll ask you, otherwise leave me alone" Jeff said getting annoyed and walked away from them.
"You ok?" Elliot asked putting his hand on her back.
"I'm fine," Olivia said running a hand through her hair and looking at Jeff hand a drink to Sarah.
"You sure?" Elliot tried again as he gently rubbed her back.
"Yea, I'm fine" Olivia said forcing a small smile looking over at Elliot.
"Ok, lets go get something to eat" Elliot said smiling and taking her hand. She smiled and followed him to the table of full of food.
After an hour Elliot started opening up his presents. Haley fell asleep on the couch her feet on Jeff's lap and Sarah sitting next to him. Casey and Luke were sitting on the floor next to each other. Olivia was on a chair next to Elliot. Everyone else was allover the place, either standing or sitting at an extra seat.
"This one is from…Captain" Elliot said taking the box. He opened it and started laughing seeing a pair of sox in there. "Great gift, thank you" He said smiling holding it up the box.
"It's the safest gift," Cragen said shrugging.
"Open ours next" Casey yelled out.
"Now we get one gift from you two cause you're married, not fair" Jeff teased with his arm around Sarah's shoulder.
"Yup. Elliot open your gift" Luke said smiling.
"Ok, ok" Elliot said as he took the box with there name on it. He opened it and rolled his eyes. "Boxing gloves. Very funny" He said looking at the two who were trying not to laugh.
"For your rage, I think the IAB would appreciate it" Luke teased. Elliot just shot him a look.
"Oh, Luke got something for both you and Olivia, it's at the bottom of the box" Casey said trying to hold her laughter. Luke was trying not to laugh hysteriaclly also.
"This mean trouble when they want to laugh" Olivia said smiling. Elliot moved the paper and saw Viagra pills spilled in the box. Casey and Luke started laughing hysterically when Elliot glared at them.
"You two are so meant for each other," Elliot said rolling his eyes and taking one of the blue pills and throwing it at Luke.
"I don't need it but thanks," Luke said laughing and throwing it at Jeff.
"Me neither, I'm all set in that apartment." Jeff said throwing it at John.
"Why because I was divorced?" John asked throwing it at George.
"Leave me out of this" George said throwing it at Cragen.
"Yes John its cause you were divorced. Four times?" Cragen teased and threw the pill at Elliot. Elliot smiled and grabbed the sox that he got from Cragen and threw them at him.
In a matter of minutes the whole party turned into a food fight.
Fin grabbed a couple of chips and threw them at Elliot. Olivia grabbed a slice of pizza and threw it at Fin. Luke grabbed a soda on purpose and poured it down Melinda's back. She grabbed her beer and poured it down Luke's pants. Casey retaliated and threw the Viagra at Melinda. Everyone was laughing hysterically during the whole thing.
"You people are nuts, let me get my daughter in her room and then we will continue this" Jeff said picking up Haley and carrying her into her room.
"Hey liv" Elliot said smiling. Olivia turned around and he slammed a piece of cake into her face.
"You are in so much trouble Stabler" Olivia said smiling as she wiped her face and started chasing him with the frosting in her hand. Elliot ran into the bathroom and she followed. He smiled and closed the door as she ran in.
"What? You want to put that in my face?" Elliot teased as he pressed her body against the door with his.
"Give me a kiss birthday boy and I will think about it" Olivia said smiling. He smiled and started kissing her. She smiled and kissed him back. Just as she could tell he was getting into the kissing she took the frosting in her hand and threw it down his back.
"Hey, not cool" He said as he jumped a little from the cold frosting.
"You'll survive" She teased throwing him a towel.
"Shut up Benson" He said smiling as he got closer to her face again and started kissing her.
"No sex in the bathroom, we have guests in the next room" Olivia said smiling as he started kissing her neck.
"It will be quick" Elliot teased as he kissed her neck.
"No, c'mon, after everyone leaves I'll give you your birthday present" Olivia said smiling.
"Fine" Elliot said smiling as he pulled away. Olivia smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "Lets go get rid of our guests" Elliot said smiling taking her hand as he opened the door of the bathroom.
They came out and saw Jeff making out with Sarah in the corner of the hallway away from the party. Elliot smiled and pulled Olivia away to the kitchen.
"Jeez they are making out in public" Olivia said smirking sneaking a look by the corner of the fridge.
"Stop spying" Elliot said smiling and pulled her away.
"I'm a cop, I'm investigating not spying" Olivia said smiling.
"Sarah is hot" Elliot teased on purpose as he sneaked a look. Olivia smiled and slapped him on the shoulder playfully.
"Stop spying" Olivia mocked.
"I can watch you're ex husband make out you cant," Elliot said smiling.
"Shut up, leave them alone and lets settle down the party," Olivia said smiling and taking his hand.
"Fine" Elliot mumbled smiling and followed her to try and calm down everyone.
Everyone stopped throwing food and pouring drinks down each other's shirts.
"We're going, have fun cleaning this up," John said smiling, Fin smiled and grabbed his jacket, Cragen did the same.
"What a coincidence, we are doing the same" Melinda said smiling taking her jacket and her husbands hand.
"You guys are horrible guests," Olivia said smiling as she opened the door for everyone who was trying to sneak out and not clean the mess.
"Yup. Happy birthday Elliot and we'll see you at work," Fin said as he went out the door.
"Thanks for the invite" Cragen said following Fin.
"Thanks for the childhood memories of a food fight, Goodnight" John said following Cragen.
"Goodnight" Olivia said smiling and rolling her eyes.
"Don't close that door, I'm leaving also" Melinda said smiling walking over to the door with her husband.
"I would have thought the doctor would have helped us clean" Elliot teased smiling.
"You have another doctor in the house, happy birthday and goodnight" Melinda said smiling and pointing at George and walking out the door.
"Get Casey, She's a lawyer," George said as he walked over to the door.
"Just go" Olivia said smiling still holding the door open as more people left.
"Goodnight" George said smiling and walking out the door.
"Time for us to go I guess" Luke said smiling and taking Casey's hand.
"No, you two started the whole thing so you're helping us" Elliot said looking at each one.
"Fine, we'll help" Luke said smiling "We certainly don't want him to use those boxing gloves right away" Luke mumbled as he walked away to clean the food but he slipped on the soda that was spilled and fell down.
"Make sure you don't get blood in my apartment" Elliot teased smiling.
"Damn, that's hurts," Luke groaned as he got up.
"That's what you get for being a smart ass," Casey teased smiling.
"You're a lawyer lets not talk about who is a smart ass," Luke teased back. Casey smiled and playfully pushed him. He just smiled and started cleaning the mess.
"What was that loud sound?" Jeff asked coming into the living room with Sarah by him.
"Your brother" Olivia answered smiling.
"Casey beat you up?" Jeff teased smiling looking at Luke.
"No, shut up and help us," Luke said as he threw paper towels on the floor to soak up the soda and beer that was spilled.
"No way, you two are the ones under punishment not me" Jeff said smiling "You missed a spot" Jeff said smiling pointing at the floor. Luke grabbed the soaked towels and threw it at him. Jeff just moved out of the way and dodged them.
"You suck dude," Jeff said smiling.
"Now you see why he doesn't play sports," Casey teased smiling.
"Really?" Luke asked smiling and took another soaked towel and shoved it down her shirt.
"Hey" Casey shrieked and quickly pulled it out and threw it at him. Luke just laughed and threw it in the trashcan.
"Do you guys need help, I'll help if you want?" Sarah offered.
"No, they are fine, they need to learn their lesson for buying me those gifts" Elliot said smiling.
"He is such a cop," Luke mumbled smiling. Casey smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Liv do you want me to take Haley tonight?" Jeff asked.
"Um…sure, if you want" Olivia answered shrugging.
"We'll take her if you guys want" Casey offered knowing Jeff wanted to spend time with Sarah and Olivia wanted to spend time with Elliot.
"You guys sure?" Jeff asked looking at them.
"Yea, we don't mind" Casey answered.
"Ok, you guys can take her, I'll go wake her up" Olivia said smirking and going to Haley's room to wake her up.
"Thanks" Jeff said. Casey just smiled and nodded.
"You two can finish up, we'll clean the rest" Elliot said looking at them.
"Were not grounded anymore," Luke said smiling and giving a Hi-Five to Casey.
"What happened to the living room?" Haley asked sleepily holding Olivia's hand.
"The adults got in a food fight," Jeff answered kneeling down by her. Haley nodded and rested her head on his shoulder.
"C'mon, lets go and get her to bed" Casey said throwing Luke his jacket.
"C'mon shrimp" Luke said as he kneeled down so Haley could jump on his back. She climbed on his back and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Let me get a kiss" Jeff said walking over to her. Haley looked up and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Me too" Olivia said walking on the other side. Haley rolled her eyes and kissed her on the cheek.
"Anybody else? Cause I want to sleep now" Haley asked as she rested her head on Luke's back.
"No, were done, Goodnight honey" Olivia said handing Haley's backpack full of clothes to Casey.
"Goodnight," Haley mumbled as she closed her eyes.
"Bye guys" Luke whispered as he walked out of the door. Everyone waved and kept quit so Haley wouldn't wake up.
"Happy birthday Elliot, and nice meeting you Sarah" Casey said smiling as she walked over to the door.
"You too" Sarah said smiling as she took Jeff's hand.
"Goodnight" Elliot said smiling. Casey waved and left the apartment.
"We're going to go also" Jeff said as he took Sarah's jacket and held it for her to put it on.
"Thanks for coming" Olivia said smirking remembering how Jeff used to do that for her all the time.
"Sorry we didn't bring anything, we came last moment" Sarah said smiling as she fixed her collar to her jacket.
"Don't worry about" Elliot said smiling.
"Happy birthday and goodnight" Jeff said as he pulled on his leather jacket that he always wore when he drove his motorcycle.
"Thanks, goodnight" Elliot said smiling. Jeff and Sarah smiled and left the apartment. Elliot closed the door.
"We have some cleaning to do" Olivia commented looking at the mess in the living room. Elliot came behind her and wrapped his arms around her stomach. She smiled and looked up at him.
"Lets clean that up later" Elliot suggested as he gently started kissing her neck.
"You really want that birthday present don't you?" Olivia asked smiling.
"Yes I do" Elliot answered smiling as he went up to her lips. She smiled and turned around to face him and started kissing him as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He smiled and pulled her closer to his body.
