A/N: Pls review!
Elliot woke up early the next morning and went out to start making breakfast.
Emma was already awake, still laying in her bed when she heard him. She knew the difference even with the door shut; his steps were strong and the first thing he did when he got out of bed was brew the coffee.
She got out of bed and made her way to the kitchen, right to him, smiling small. "Morning daddy." She said, leaning against him.
He grinned huge to himself and then turned around, smiling smaller, lifting her to sit on the counter and kissing her cheek. "Hi baby. You sleep okay?"
She nodded and leaned against him, hugging him tight. "You know babe, I thought you and I could have a daddy/daughter day after church? Mom and the boys are gonna do something, too. Then we'll all meet up for dinner. What do you think?"
She smiled big up at him. "Really? That would be awesome. What are we gonna do?"
He couldn't stop his grin or the tears forming in his eyes. "Anything you want baby girl."
She hugged him again and looked up at him. "Why you crying?"
He laughed and wiped his eyes. "I'm just really happy is all. I'm really happy you're mine and your mom and brother are mine. Just really happy Emma Bee." He nodded blinking his tears away. "Now. Go wake momma up."
"Momma's awake," said a voice from behind him. He looked over his shoulder and smiled at the figure before him. Long legs clad in pajama shorts and a matching shirt, topped with a long cardigan.
Her heart had broke a bit when she woke to an empty bed, but found its way back together the minute she heard the coffee pot start.
They both laughed and he looked at Emma. "Scratch that. Go wake up your brother and then call Eli and see what time he went to bed." She giggled and hugged Liv before doing as she was told.
Liv smiled sleepily at him and yawned as she walked over to wrap her arms tightly around his waist. "I always forget how much I hate waking up without you," she pouted and he smiled, kissing the top of her head. "Soon you'll never have to."
She looked up at him, resting her chin on his chest and moving closer to him so their bodies were flush.
"What's on your mind?" She asked him softly.
He gave her a small smile and kissed her nose, beginning to say something before she cut him off. "Save the back and forth and don't lie to me" she teased before going a touch more serious, "lean on me El.. you promised."
He let a hand come up her body to cup her face. "You gonna let those kids be Stablers one day?" He asked her hesitantly.
"I was hoping for Benson-Stabler," she said with a small smile and he visibly relaxed.
"And what about you? Captain Benson-Stabler or should we keep living in sin," he asked, trying to cover his heavy question with a joke. They'd been so consumed with the kids over the last year that they hadn't broached them topic of marriage or their status moving forward.
"Well…" she said, just above a whisper and felt him tense again, "the living in sin part is pretty fun… so as long as you can promise me that fun's not going to end…." she paused as her voice filled with emotions. "I'd be honored to wear your ring and have your name one day."
His body relaxed and his eyes filled with tears. He picked her up and spun her, kissing her passionately before sitting her on the counter and standing between her legs. He couldn't help but laugh as she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around the back of his.
The motion caused them to scoot closer to one another, her core coming flush with his lower belly right above his cock.
He could feel the heat through her silky shorts and his cock jumped. He bit his lip and gave her a slight shake of the head.
She smirked up at him and gently ground into him.
"You're evil, Captain," he murmured against her lips and she laughed, kissing him and doing it again.
She knew he was growing hard and gently pushed him away from the counter to see the outline of his strong cock.
"Much better than last night," she whispered, licking her lips.
He shook his head and held back a groan as she leaned in to whisper into his ear. "So big and hard for me, daddy." He moaned, squeezing her thighs and moving in to devour her lips just as he heard the kids emerge from Noah's. He let out a low groan.
She cackled and slid of the counter, being sure to slide down against him. "Maybe if we have time I'll take care of you when we get ready…" she growled into his ear, moving to greet their littles.
"Eli sounded really tired but he said he went to bed early," Noah said hugging Liv good morning.
"He definitely didn't go to bed early," Emma said giggling and El agreed laughing.
"Oh he also said he brought his church clothes so we can just get him on the way there," Noah added and El nodded. "He remembered? What's gotten into this kid?"
"That girl from his Sunday school class," Emma said bluntly and Noah nodded. Liv and El shot a look at each other and then at the littles.
"What???" Liv asked, grinning
"Mom don't make it weird he'll be embarrassed," Noah said bluntly and Elliot laughed. "Sorry when did you become a teenager? You've been with the bros too much," he teased.
Noah grinned and went over to give him a big hug. "Morning daddy," he said as El lifted him to hug him. "Maybe not too grown yet, huh?" He smiled kissing his head and setting him back down.
They ate their Sunday morning breakfast before heading into their rooms to get ready.
El climbed into the shower and started washing up. He'd just got done rinsing soap off his body when she came in behind him.
Her arms wrapped around him as she pressed her front against his back, leaning her cheek between his strong shoulders.
She slowly trailed her hands down his body, stopping just above his cock. "Tease," he mumbled and she giggled against him, before dropping her hands all the way.
He turned in her embrace and she gave him a devilish grin and he watched her drop to her knees. "I don't think the good Catholic boy I am can let you do this right before church…" he trailed off and she cocked her head to the side, kissing his rounded tip.
"Do what?" She asked, innocently, lowering her head under his engorged member to his full sack and looking up at him.
"Livia..." he said softly in a tone of warning as she ran her tongue slowly up his length.
"Yes, baby?" She whispered seductively against the swell of his already dripping head.
"You might kill me..." he whispered, letting out a low groan as she flicked her tongue along the prominent vein that ran up the side of his member.
"Well, then I better make this good," she said huskily, before sucking him in to his hilt.
"Fuck Olivia!" He moaned out, a hand going to the back of her head.
She wrapped one hand around one of his thighs to get better leverage as she sucked and moaned around him, allowing the other to pump a tortuously slow pace as his base.
He held his hips steady and moaned, unable to take his eyes off the sight below him. She looked up at him and winked, using the hand that was around his thigh to encourage him to thrust down her throat.
Wasting no time, he started to move his hips, grunting each time his tip hit the back of her throat.
She stopped sucking and allowed her teeth to gently scrape his sensitive cock as he fucked her mouth, letting out a few theatrical gags around him.
"Fuck Liv, I'm gonna cum..." he grunted our after a few more moments and she smirked through her watering eyes. Her hands went to his hips to stop his movements and she resumed her attack on his cock, sucking and pumping her hand until she heard him start stuttering.
She took him deep one last time and the sensation made him lose it. He gently pulled at her hair as he exploded down her throat with a few more gentle thrusts. "Liv... oh fuck Liv..." he grunted as he watched the muscles in her neck contract at her swallowing him.
She pulled off with a pop and licked her lips, smirking and standing up between him and the wall.
His hands had rediscovered the wall behind her and he was panting, out of breath and with a look of pure joy and relaxation on his face. Leaning his head into hers, he kissed her hungrily. "Jesus woman..."
She laughed and kissed him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Just need to make sure my man knows I'll always take care of him," she whispered, the double entendre obvious. "You can repay me later," she winked.
They picked up Eli, went to church, and then Em and El went down to Cony Island and Liv took the boys back to the house for a day of video games and junk food, per their request.
"Oh mom can we grab pizza for lunch I'm starving?" Eli asked with a yawn and Liv looked at him, still not knowing how to approach the subject.
She nodded, "whatever you want baby." He grinned.
Across the city, Em and El were walking through the island holding hands.
"Daddy how did you and mommy meet? You were partners right?"
He nodded and smiled. "For 12 years. Oh man I loved her the moment I saw her."
She smiled looking up at him. "Did she know Kathy?"
He nodded. "She helped delivered Eli."
She looked up in awe, "really?" She asked grinning and El nodded.
"That's so cool…" she led him to a bench by the water and they sat looking out.
"Where were you?" She looked up at him and he laughed. "I was on a case. Mom did me a favor and brought Kathy to an appointment but on the way, a drunk driver hit them and Kathy went into labor. So mom saved the day like always."
She smiled huge and leaned into him. "She's so cool…"
He laughed. "She is. She's my hero."
Emma nodded in agreement. "Mine too."
They were quiet for a while before Elliot looked down at her, "you wanna play games or anything?"
She shook her head. "I just wanna talk." He smiled small. That was probably the only way she was different from her momma.
"I'm fine with that," he said, leaning down to kiss her head.
She took a deep breath and looked up him. "Dad, what would you have done if you knew about me?" She asked him confidently.
He took a deep breath and stared out into the water. "I don't know Emma Bee. I don't know. But I do know I would have been there for you and mom, and Kathy and the big kids."
She nodded thoughtfully. "I know you would…"
He wrapped an arm around her and played with her hair. It was beginning to darken as she got older, looking more like her mom's natural hair color.
He grabbed his phone and took a selfie of them to break the tension he felt building, sending it to Liv.
She giggled and they took several more silly ones.
"We should go shopping for something to wear to the dance," she said looking up at him.
He laughed. "Baby I think I have enough suits and ties."
She shook her head and stood up, full of excitement. Much like her sisters, she was a total girly girl. "Dad you have all blue stuff." She giggled and he laughed.
"That's cause that's what your momma tells me to buy," he said and she giggled louder. "But, fair enough. Come on." He stood smiling and held his hand out to her.
His phone pinged with a reply from Liv.
L: Awww. I love you guys.
E: We love you. Heading shopping for an outfit for me for the dance- hah!
L: You have a billion ties and shirts!
E: "Only blue" she said, and that won't do.
L: I have no idea where she got that from!! :)
E: Mmmhm. We love you. See you tonight baby.
Liv smiled setting her phone down and sitting back down beside her boys who were playing Super Mario.
Eli handed her a third controller. "Get ready to lose mom!" He said as Noah giggled wildly.
She looked at Eli who gave a gentle smile. "It's on, boys."
When Emma and El got home, the big kids were already there and helping Liv with dinner.
They all called some variation of "hey dad" when he entered and he smiled hugging them. Liv was mixing a salad at the counter, so he went over and stood behind her, dropping a kiss to her cheek. "Hi baby," he whispered.
She smiled and turned her head to kiss him. She knew he was still thinking about earlier and she smirked against his lips.
Emma was showing the big kids all the stuff they'd got and Liv turned to move in front of him, leaning back against him.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and watched them, his heart swelling with pride and his cock swelling with need against her leggings and tight tank top self.
She couldn't help but laugh at him, giving his hand a squeeze.
"Jeez you guys were busy today," Kathleen said laughing. "I would ask if this is all but I don't know how there could be more," she laughed.
Emma gave him a knowing smile that ended with a squint that matched his. He winked at her and Liv caught it, laughing. "What was that??"
He shook his head. "Nothing, my love."
She rolled her eyes laughed and turned back to the kids.
Two weeks later, El was at the front door to Liv's apartment, standing nervously.
Eli was beside him and both Stablers were holding flowers.
He looked up at his dad and laughed. "You look like you're gonna puke, dude."
El smacked him playfully and smiled small.
Dickie came rushing up behind them with four bouquets of flowers. "Seriously, Dad, the amount of daughters you had is absurd."
Eli snorted and Elliot laughed looking at his oldest. "Fashionably late, as always."
He knocked gently on the door and heard commotion inside. Noah opened it crossing his arms protectively, causing Dickie and Eli to laugh.
He looked Elliot dead in the eyes from his short stature and raised a brow. "You're here to see my sister," he asked.
El nodded dropping to his eye level. "You're gonna treat her right?" Noah questioned and El nodded seriously. "I promise buddy."
It didn't take much for the young boy to crack and he grinned, falling into the older man's arms. El laughed, hugging him.
"Hi daddy, I missed you," he muttered against his chest.
El smiled, hugging him tightly. "Missed you too buddy. But hey... we'll all be living together soon. We're almost there!"
It'd been increasingly hard on the youngest of the family. He had bonded immediately with both boys anyways, and was beginning to struggle and lash out when they weren't there.
Both parent's jobs had prevented them from touring bigger places like they'd wanted to, and Noah was feeling the stress more than anyone else.
He nodded in his dads arms and Eli ruffled his hair. He pulled back and smiled up at Dickie, who he was equally obsessed with. Dick pulled him in for a hug and handed him a bouquet.
They four boys walked into the apartment. "Guys they're here," Noah called.
The girls all came out and Dickie and Noah handed their sisters and his fiancé flowers.
"We ready???" Liv called from Emma's room.
"Yes!" Everyone exclaimed. The pair walked out and El teared up immediately, grinning huge. "Wow... you look like a princess..." he grinned, dropping to his knees to hug her tightly.
She was beaming and clutched onto him. "Thanks Daddy..."
He handed her her flowers and she grinned. Eli handed his bouquet to Liv, giving her a hug with it. "There are for you, mom," he said, causing all of his older siblings heads to turn.
She smiled, ignoring the situation to her left, and kissed his head. "Thank you baby..."
They took a million photos before saying goodbye to the father/daughter duo.
Liv gave a gentle shake of her head to the big kids who nodded knowingly. They all said their goodbyes and parted ways, and Liv and the boys settled in for a movie.
Her phone lit up almost immediately with messages from the oldest Stablers.
D: Care to explain?
M: Dick, don't start.
K: I think it's sweet.
D: Of course you do.
L: If it makes him happy just let him do it.
D: Yeah and what about mom? Huh? We just forget her?
M: No one said that. He hasn't forgotten mom. But she's gone, and he has Liv and if this is what he wants then he should do it.
O: Guys... it just started a few weeks ago... we haven't said anything to him. It's been a long few weeks for all the kids. Have some patience with him and with us... please...
D: You're right. I'm sorry... just was weird.
O: I can imagine... but he still talks about your mom all the time. I promised him I would be there for him however I could.
K: Ignore our idiot. It'll be fine - we love you. How is Noah? Dad said there's been some issues?
D: Wait what issues?
L: Maybe you should ask what's happening in their lives before jumping down her throat next Dickwad.
O: Yeah.. it's ok. Noah has just been struggling with not having your dad and Eli here 24/7, especially after he started calling him dad. But we've been too busy to look at places. He's just acting out a bit when it's just me, him, and Em.
D: I'm sorry I had no idea... I can try and talk to him?
O: Dad put Eli on it tonight, but anytime he can see you is a good day. :)
L: Dickwad saves the day, again. Woow.
M: Elizabeth.
D: Yeah, Elizabeth.
Liv chuckled setting her phone down and went to the kitchen to refill her wine.
She overheard Eli talking to Noah seriously.
"Hey... what's been going on with you? Dad said you're having a tough time.." he asked him gently.
Noah sighed and leaned into him. "I just miss you guys when you're not here..."
Eli nodded, putting an arm around a his little bro. "We miss you too, bud, but that doesn't mean you can be grumpy to mom... she loves you. Dad and I don't want that, you know buddy..."
He nodded frowning, feeling a little ashamed.
"Hey... maybe we can talk them into going apartment hunting tomorrow? They're both off and we can all go together?" He asked his little brother gently.
He nodded, hugging him.
"Look bud... sometimes they can get too caught up in their work. They just need a little push and that's ok." Eli said softly.
Liv frowned making a mental note to talk to Elliot when he got home. She returned to the couch, sitting between them. They both laughed as she dramatically pushed them apart to cuddle in.
El and Emma arrived home around 9:30, smiling and with a packet of photos.
She laughed seeing them and he shrugged. "I bought them all," he said.
"I'm not surprised," she said kissing him and then sinking down to hug Emma. "Did you have fun baby girl?"
She grinned hugging her tightly. "So much fun mom! Best night ever!!!"
El beamed with pride and went over to say hi to the boys. Noah was dozing against Eli and he kissed both of their heads.
"You talk to him?" He asked softly and Eli nodded.
"I told him we'd talk you two into touring some places tomorrow..." he said and and El nodded.
"Sounds good, bud." He glanced over at Liv who agreed.
After they got the kids settled for the night, Liv jumped in the shower and El stripped down to his underwear and settled in the middle of their bed.
He was playing on his phone when he heard her call to him. "Baby I think Eli's right.. let's go take a peek at some bigger places that weekend."
"I'm fine with that- even if we take our time finding the right place, it should at least calm Noh down a bit."
"My thoughts exactly- Dick's going to talk to him a bit on Sunday, too," she said walking out of the bathroom.
She couldn't stop her laugh as she saw him. "Subtle, Stabler."
He joined her in laughter and he shrugged, squinting and playing dumb. "What??"
Her smile was contagious and his face broke out into a huge grin. She let her eyes trail down his body to the strong outline against his thigh.
"Checking me out, Captain? Little obvious..." he teased and she laughed, dropping her towel and using the other to dry her hair.
"How are you 53 and this hot? I mean seriously. I think you're hotter than when you were 29," he exclaimed with a chuckle.
Her jaw dropped and she looked at him. "I'm sorry have you seen yourself??" She laughed and sauntered over to him, tossing a sexy look on her face for good measure.
He waved her off and the held his arms open to her. "C'mere, Benson."
Her seductive look broke into a smile. "Take your underwear off."
He laughed and pushed them down, tossing them to the side. She grinned and climbed over him, straddling his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck.
He pressed a passionate kiss to her lips and she smiled against them. "Thank you for taking her..." she whispered to him. His hands slid up her thighs to her waist and wrapped around it, pulling her flush to him. "Will never miss another," he replied softly.
She settled into his arms, resting the side of her head against his. She gently rubbed the short hairs on the back of his head, just holding him close.
"Kiddos texted me about Eli calling me mom..." she whispered into his ear and he nodded.
"Oh? How'd that go- let me guess, Dickie was himself and the girls supported it." He chuckled and she nodded.
"Ding, ding. But he came around. He's a good man, El... don't be so hard on him." She gave him a look and he nodded.
He continued to hold her for a bit before he chuckled to himself.
"What?" She asked pulling back to look at him.
"You and me... we finally hit full parent mode vs sex crazed lovers." He smiled small and she cocked a brow.
"Meaning, you're sitting on my hard cock, wet as ever, and we're talking about it our kiddos."
She laughed and kissed him passionately. "To be fair... I think we're a good mix of both but also... I've waiting to be in full parent mode with you for a long time."
Trailing his fingers across her back, he moved to kiss her again and gently grasped hold of her hips, encouraging her to kneel up straight.
She did and he positioned himself at her entrance, before sinking back down onto him, letting out a small moan.
"I love you," she whispered against his lips as they both started to move, in sync like always.
"Not as much as I love you... I promise you that." He whispered back, tangling his tongue with hers until they collapsed in each other's arms, satiated and safe.
