Elliot stood nervously at Liv's door that Friday evening. He was picking the Benson's up to take them to Mo's for family dinner.
Mo requested fancy dinner, so he stood there in his suit and tie from work with 2 bouquets of flowers and some chocolate for Noah.
The kids were ecstatic when she told them where they were headed. They adored Kathleen and were obsessed with getting to know Elliot better.
He and Liv had spent a lot of time talking since he told the kids, and not a lot of time making up. He was feeling more nervous than he should. It'd hit him on the way over that this was the beginning of the rest of their lives.
He adjusted his tie and knocked, smiling when he heard Noah.
"Ellllliot!!!!!!" He called swinging the door open.
Elliot laughed. "Noah you gotta double check who's knocking man."
"I know but I was just so excited," he said dramatically.
He leaned down and picked him up to hug him. Noah grinned and El smiled at him. "Looking very snazzy tonight my friend."
Noah grinned. "We match!" He said nodding between their shirts. Elliot smiled and set him down, handing him his chocolate. "These are for yo— ah ah… don't eat them yet, please." He said laughing and Noah smiled running to put them on the counter.
"Guuuuuys," he said as he did. "Elliot's here!"
"We heard you- the whole neighborhood did!" came Emma's voice and Elliot laughed. Just like her mother.
"Noh come here," he said sitting on the couch.
He did as he was asked and glanced at the flowers. "Now listen… when you pick up a girl for dinner, or she's coming over, you always bring flowers ok?" Noah nodding, soaking up this new, one-on-one boy time.
"Even if it's just your sister— you gotta teach her how she should be treated ok? And that's with respect and love. Sound good?" He nodded and smiled big.
"Good. So when the girls come out, you can give these to your sister and I'll give these to mom."
Liv listened from the hallway and wiped a tear away before Emma could see her. Both Benson women walked out from the back of the apartment wearing sundresses with their hair in loose waves.
El stood, motioning for Noah to join him, and his breath hitched in his throat when he saw her.
She was a goddess.
A queen. His queen.
He willed his mind to not go to what she was wearing under her dress and how quickly he planned on removing it tonight. It'd only been a few days, and yet some how his body was craving her like it'd been years.
Fuck. He went there and she knew it. He could tell by the stupid smirk on her face.
His eyes moved down to her daughter. His daughter. He smiled. If her mother was a his queen, she was his princess. He nudged Noah and he stepped forward smiling.
"Emmy these are for you." He grinned handing them over. She blushed and hugged her little brother, squishing his face a little. She'd never gotten flowers before and he could tell. His heart ached.
"Thank you buddy… and thank you, Elliot." She said laughing and went over to hug him.
He leaned down to hug her tightly and kissed the top of her head without thinking. "Of course, Em… you look beautiful tonight!"
She stepped back and smiled, twirling.
"Thanks!"
He stood and looked at Liv who was blinking quickly. "And these are for you," he smiled and she took them, walking over and giving him a warm hug. He squeezed her a little tighter, in apology, and kissed the side of her head, whispering, just loud enough just for her. "You look gorgeous."
She blushed and it wasn't lost on her kids. She pulled back and gently took his hand.
"Guys…" she said softly, "can we talk to you a minute?" They nodded and went to the living room, sitting across from each other.
Elliot put his hand on Olivia's lower back as they sat and he smiled small at her. Her hand went to his knee and she gave it a squeeze.
"Woah are you guys dating!" Noah asked jumping up from where he sat. Emma grinned looking at him. "I told you they were!"
The two adults couldn't help but laugh. "Would that be okay with you guys if we were?" He asked hesitantly.
They both nodded and ran over to them, hugging them both tightly. Noah pulled back for a second and looked at him seriously.
"You're not gonna leave us like Tuck Tuck right?" He asked and Liv started laughing. He wrapped his arms around the three of them and smiled. "Wouldn't dream of it."
The girls were at Mo's setting the table when Dickie and Eli came back in from an errand.
They had 6 bouquets of flowers in their hands and Eli groaned. "Dad should have thought about his flower thing before having four daughters."
The girls smiled taking them and Dickie leaned in to kiss his fiancé, handing her her set.
"Just wait until Eli gets a girlfriend. And Noah too!" Kathleen said and they laughed.
Eli perked up. "Oh we can make Noah buy them too."
"Yeah in 10 or 11 years, he's 7 dad would kill us."
They all laughed and looked at the door when they heard their dad's familiar, loud knock.
They all took a breath and looked at each other. "Everyone ready?" Mo smiled and they nodded.
"Let's do it." Lizzie said as the boys opened the door.
The five had had time to relax over the past several days, getting more use to the idea of two new younger siblings and Liv. They'd promised to make them feel welcomed, so they were ready for Dickie's enthusiasm when he opened the door.
"Wooooah, dad how did you talk these beauties into joining you tonight?" He looked down at Noah, "and this handsome fella!"
They all smiled and came in giving hugs. "Oh youre so sweet…" Liv smiled as they handed her the flowers. "Thank you guys!" Emma said cheerfully.
They walked further into the house and the girls greeted them, giving warm and tight hugs. "Liv you look beautiful." Kathleen said and she smiled. "So do you, baby."
"Let's see a spin," Lizzie said to Emma who cheerfully gave one to show off her dress. "Beautiful! I have to go shopping with you and your mom some time." She smiled.
"So" Dickie said coming up behind them all. "Cats out of the bag?" He asked his dad and they smiled. "Uhh yes… it is.."
Noah looked up at the siblings. "Are you guys ok with it?" He asked nervously, leaning into his sister who wrapped an arm around him.
They melted at his concern and Mo kneeled down to pull him in for a hug. "Absolutely. We love your mom and we are so excited to get to know you and your sister more."
He nodded breathing a sigh of relief and hugged her back.
"Noah I heard you play soccer? Come show me all your moves??" Eli said with a smile and Noah looked to his mom for permission. She nodded and he smiled running off with him.
Dickie pouted at his oldest sister and fiancé. Both rolled their eyes and nodded, and he grabbed Carl, following after them.
"Emma, your mom says you love to bake… would you wanna help us finish some apple pie for dessert??" She grinned and nodded going into the kitchen with them.
El and Liv were left standing in the dining room and they turned to look at each other, letting the breathes they'd been holding. They laughed as they did it and he put his hands on her waist, pulling her closer to him. One hand fell to her hips And she felt him scan his finger tips for the waist band of her underwear.
She smirked looking up at him through heavy lashes as his jaw dropped a little when he felt nothing.
She gave another quick peck and went to join the girls in the kitchen. Her heart swelled as she watched her daughters interaction with her sisters. Katie came up beside her and hugged her arm smiling. "We love her…" She whispered, pecking Liv on the cheek and returning to the fun.
Elliot went outside watching his boys from the patio. Noah was completely infatuated with Eli as he showed him all sorts of tricks. The little boy was cackling as he watched Carl and Dickie try, and fail, to one up them.
This could be his life if he could just make sure he didn't fuck it up.
After a successful dinner, the whole gang went to the living room to relax and talk.
Emma had been drawn to Liz, and she sat leaned up against to her smiling and laughing at old stories Maureen told about Liv and Elliot.
Noah was sat between Dickie and Eli, and had started to fall asleep against Dickie. El looked at the clock, it was quarter to 10 and way past the young kid's bedtimes.
"Guys I think we gotta get going?" He asked and Liv looked up. "Oh my it got late!"
"Time flies when you're having fun," Mo said smiling.
They said their goodbyes and all gave Emma extra long hugs. Dickie picked up the sleeping Noah. "I can take him," El said and Dickie shook his head. "You'll hurt yourself old man" he teased.
Emma yawned and absent minded leaned against Elliot's side. They all watched as Elliot lifted her up and she wrapped her arms around his neck, yawning again. He stuck his tongue out at Dickie and the older men brought the two youngest out to the car.
Liv couldn't stop her tears as they walked out and the girls came to hug her. "I'm fine… I'm fine I'm sorry." She brushed it off smiling small. "Mo thank you for having us… and guys… thank you so much…" she trailed off as she choked up again. "Thank you so much for welcoming them." She managed to get out.
Liz hugged her right and sighed. "Thank you for trusting us with her heart… we don't deserve you." Liv shook her head and gave her a squeeze before moving on to Eli.
"I'll see you tomorrow after dad picks me up?" He asked with a tinge of hope in his voice. She nodded. "Definitely… goodnight guys."
Liv walked out and pulled Dickie into a hug as he was walking back up to the house. "Thank you…" she whispered and he relaxed a bit in her arms. He pulled back and looked at her. "They're really good kids… you've done a great job and uh…" he scratched the back of his head trying to play it cool, "I'd really love to continue to be a part of both of their lives…we all would."
She smiled and hugged him again. "Thank you…" He kissed her head and she walked to the car, climbing in.
She glanced back at the sleeping kids and looked at Elliot a moment before leaning in and kissing him passionately.
He smiled against her lips and let out breath when he felt her hand on his inner thigh.
She pulled back slightly and pecked his lips again. "Take us home," she whispered, with a hint of suggestiveness in her voice.
They each carried up a kid and her heart sung watching him with Emma. It was everything she'd ever wanted for so long. She had to pinch herself to believe it was real.
She took Noah to his room and woke him enough just to get him into his PJs before kissing him goodnight. "I hope El stays around… I really like him…" he mumbled and she kissed his head again. "I really like him too baby…"
She went into Emma's room and found her asleep, with Elliot at the end of the bed watching her.
She smiled and slowly went over, putting an arm around his shoulder. He circled her waist and continued to watch their daughter sleep. He leaned his head into her belly and breathed out a small "thank you," and she gave him a gentle squeeze.
She released him and sat beside her gently rubbing her cheek. "Baby… wake up we gotta get our jammies on…" she nodded slowly sitting up. El gave her privacy as she helped her get changed laid her back down. "Is El still here?" She mumbled softly.
"I'm right here baby…" he said softly, sitting back next to Liv. She sat back up sleepily and leaned into him, giving him a sweet hug. "I'm glad you're here… please don't ever leave us," she whispered.
Tears filled both adult's eyes and he squeezed her. "I'm not going anywhere honey…" she nodded and laid back down going to sleep.
They left her room and Liv quietly shut the door. Elliot wiped his eyes and turned to face her. She took his hands, the tears still streaming down her face, and leaned in to kiss him softly. He kissed her back slowly before breaking away and laying his forehead against hers.
"My kids love you… so much. And they love your kids…" she whispered.
He ran his hands up to cup her cheeks and kiss her softly. "Eli texted me and asked if I could get him first thing so he could hang out with them more. And the girls can't stop talking about her… she even has Dickie wrapped around her finger already."
She blinked away several more tears and kissed him again before pulling him into her bedroom and locking the door. She walked and stood at the edge of the bed.
Her back was to him and he smiled coming up behind her, putting his hands on her waist and dropping kisses to her shoulder.
"El…" she whispered.
"Hmm…" he said, trailing kisses up to her neck.
"I didn't wear underwear tonight cause I wanted you to bend me over and fuck the hell out of me." He let out a growl and sucked at her neck. "It's been such a stressful week and..." she stopped to let out a soft moan as he kissed that spot. "...I just need you..."
He nodded and trailed his tongue lightly to her pulse point, nipping softly. "You have me... forever..."
"I know..." she moaned again, the sensation sending shock waves through her body. "But after watching you be super dad tonight," she moaned softly, "I think I want you to make love to me until I cum again and again and again..." she trailed off.
He took another step so that he was flush against her, his stiff cock pressing into her plump ass. "What about both?" He whispered into her ear, nipping at it.
She didn't answer him, just slowly bent over across the bed, holding herself up on her hands and looking back at him. "Best idea you've had in years, Stabler."
He smirked and slowly pulled her dress up, licking his lips at her dripping folds that were spread for him.
He dropped to his knees and began his attack with his mouth on her most sensitive areas. She let out a low moan as he spread her open further with his hands and licked and sucked and plunged his tongue deep into her. When he felt her flutter, he let his hands fall to his belt and started unbuckling his pants. Her gave her clit one last pinch with his teeth before standing up back up.
"F-fuck you" she muttered between breathes. This was their favorite thing. He'd rile her up. Make her moan.
And then he'd make her scream.
He watched the shaking in her legs dissipate before giving her ass a firm slap. Taking her hair in his hand, he pulled her up and pressed his lips to hers so she could taste herself.
"Tell me what you want Olivia…" he whispered.
"Fuck me Elliot," she whined before her voice went low and husky. "Hard."
He took his free hand and pushed two fingers into her, collecting her moisture and spreading it across his cock, lightly stroking himself. She moaned as she watched him and he leaned in, nipping behind her ear.
"So fucking wet for me Olivia..."
He quickly thrust into her and she groaned at the feeling of his hard length gliding through her wet lips. "Oh fuck baby…"
He slapped her again and she muffled her cries with a pillow, pushing her ass back into him as encouragement to thrust more quickly. He pulled her hair back again and she turned her head to kiss him sloppily.
"I've wanted to bend you over all fucking night, Olivia." He whispered into her ear and she whined softly, squeezing around him.
He smiled devilishly. His dirty talk always spurred her on. When they were together during his divorce, he often would text her his dirty thoughts throughout the day, priming her to take him all night.
"You looked like a fucking goddess tonight Olivia." She cried out softly as he put a hand over her mouth. "Jesus Liv…" he pumped harder, "you're gonna cum for me huh? I can feel it Olivia."
She nodded, unable to speak. Her eyes rolled back as she took quick and shallow breathes, her legs shaking again and on the verge of collapse. "Where do you want it?" He said against the sensitive spot on her neck.
"In me," she cried out against his hand. It was all either of them needed. She shook around him, falling flush on the bed as she rode out her orgasm, spasming around and underneath him, crying out his name and obscenities that only spurred him on.
He groaned as he spilled inside of her with one final and deep thrust.
It was his new favorite place
They fell back on the bed together panting. "I don't think I can walk…" she said and he couldn't help but laugh as he kissed her.
She rolled into him and he held her as their breathing returned to normal. They laid in a comfortable silence for a bit before they made eye contact at the same time.
In sync. Always.
"Jammies?" He asked playfully and she nodded smiling.
The pair got up and got changed, her slipping on one of his baggy shirts and him stripping to his underwear. She smiled watching him and he paused looking at her. "Should… I should put on shorts right?"
She nodded laughing. "Yes… probably. At least a pair of boxers."
"Good call," he smiled and started to change, stopping only when he felt her small hands on his thighs, just below his hips. She ran her hands up and down his sides, grazing just above the top of his cock. He looked at her over his shoulder as the blood began to rush to his groin.
He turned slowly to her, in his full glory, already hard again for her.
"I believe you said you'd make love to me after you fucked me..." she whispered into his chest as she pressed soft kisses to it. She let her hand trail down to his cock and he moaned softly at the sensation.
"I believe I did say that..." he whispered, pulling the shirt she'd just put on over her head and tossing it to the side.
She smiled up at him and ridded herself of her underwear, slowly backing up until her ass hit the edge of the bed.
He smiled and stood in front of her, gently cupping her cheek to kiss her passionately, before shimmying her up the bed to their pillows, making her giggle.
She smiled against his lips as she felt him spread her legs and settle between them. The smile dropped to a soft "O" as he pushed into her, the different angle hitting new spots that drove her wild.
He wrapped one arm under her back and the other to cradle her head as he thrusted, not breaking his kiss until she started mumbling to him.
"Elliot... Baby yes..." her face screamed ecstasy as his current position had his pelvis nudging her clit with every thrust.
"El... El... Baby harder oh fuck baby..." she cried into his mouth as his tongue continued to explore her open mouth. "Right there... oh my god. Oh my god I love you. Holy fuck Elliot I love you," she cried into his mouth as they came together.
They were breathless for a moment after and he looked down at her giving a smile. She realized what she'd said and bit her lip smiling small.
"I love you, too, Liv."
She woke like she always did on Saturday mornings, to her youngest crawling into bed with her and gently twirling her hair. It was a soothing habit he'd started as a baby and never quite broke.
But this morning was different, for the first time in his actual memory vs the ones he picked up on from his sisters.
It was different cause he was here. Elliot. Noah's new hero and best friend. Mostly, the little boy was excited to have another guy on his side.
Liv opened her eyes slowly and smiled at him. He was beaming, buzzing like a kid on Christmas morning. She smiled and glanced over at El, giving him a nod.
Noah put his back to her and curled into Elliot, looking up at him. His arm instinctively went around the small boy, the realization of it not being Liv causing him to open his eyes. He squinted and then smiled at him.
Noah grinned. "You stayed!"
El squeezed him a little tighter. "Sure did. But I have to go get Eli soon… we're gonna pick up breakfast and bring it back for everyone."
"Eli is coming?!" Noah said, bouncing up and smiling. Elliot laughed. "Yes… go wake up your sister so I can tell her the plan… I don't want her to think I left without saying bye."
Noah nodded running off. Liv looked at him and her eyes welled up.
She didn't have to say anything.
He was making a prominent effort, and for the first time in a long time, she was thankful for Elliot Stabler with 0 resentments.
