A/N: Keep 'em coming and I'll keep them coming.
The rest of the week came and went. No one had talked to Dickie, and Eli had been unusually quiet.
Liv and El laid in bed on Friday night, playing on their phones and chatting about their week.
It wasn't late- the kids were still up, but they were enjoying the serenity of their room while the three youngest yelled over video games on the couch.
She laughed when he texted her.
E: You look hot ;)
She sent him an unattractive selfie that caused both of them to laugh uncontrollably. Taking off her glasses and rolling towards him, she wrapped her arm tightly around his middle and he ran his hands up and down her back.
She groaned when her phone pinged and lifted it up. He read the message first and then handed her his readers. She put them on, read, and looked back at him in shock.
D: Hey Liv. I hope you're doing ok. I wanted to apologize again for earlier this week and was hoping you and I could get lunch tomorrow and talk while dad has the little kids? I understand if you don't wanna. Please let me know.
"Eli should have smacked him sooner," El said thoughtfully, causing Liv to chuckle. She texted him back.
L: Would love nothing more. Let me know when/where.
D: Pick you up around 11?
L: Perfect. See you then.
D: Love you- and thank you for everything you do for dad and Eli.
L: I love you, sweetie. It's my pleasure
She set her phone down and looked at him. "Thank you," he whispered, stretching his neck down to kiss her.
Her lips met his, and they laid tangled up for a bit, kissing and touching each other slowly.
Upon hearing giggling at their door, they pulled back to see their two youngest standing there in their pajamas with their pillows.
El laughed. "Yes???" He questioned.
The pair ran in and climbed on the bed, forcing their parents apart so they could cuddle in the middle.
"Sleepover??" Noah asked with a big grin, once they were settled.
Liv laughed and kissed their heads. "I dont know… what you think daddy??"
"Hmmm," El teased, pretending to think before grinning. "Sounds perfect."
The littles fell asleep pretty quickly and Eli popped in to say goodnight. "You don't wanna join?" El teased and he smiled small, shaking his head. "No I'm good."
He gave El a hug and then leaned down to hug Liv. "Night baby," she whispered and he kissed her cheek, feeling tears spring to his eyes. "Night momma," he said softly before heading out to his room.
Liv frowned looking at Elliot who reached over to hold her hand over the pillow. "He's okay."
She nodded and their eyes drifted down to the two kids between them. Elliot's eyes lingered on them, studying every feature.
Part of him still couldn't believe this was his life. Laying in bed with Liv and their kids had been a distant dream of his for years.
He felt tears come to his eyes as he studied their daughter. The Stabler features were fading, the older she got, and she was morphing more into her mom, both in looks and personality.
But she still had his eyes, and by some miracle, so did her little brother. His son.
His heart ached for all his son had been through in his first few years. But the tears that flooded his eyes were happy because despite it all, Liv had never given up and he was now his, too.
He thought about all of the things Noah did that mirrored him. The boy had truly become a Stabler, picking up on El's mannerisms and personality traits.
Liv watched her El lay there in deep thought and gave his hand a gentle squeeze as a tear fell down his cheek.
"You're sure Noah isn't ours?" He teased to break the emotion he was feeling and she smiled, squeezing his hand again.
"Positive. One and done for me." She laughed softly.
The rough pads of his thumb trailed softly over her knuckles. "I wish I could have given you more."
"El, we would have 100 kids," she laughed giving him a look to drop it, "And they'd all probably have been conceived in the cribs after you pissed me off," she finished, causing him to laugh.
"But they'd be so cute!" He challenged with a smile.
She leaned over the two littles and kissed him. "You're cute," she said smiling small.
"I know," he said, laughing when she smacked him.
Liv watched him stand up and gently move the sleeping kids over closer to his side so she could scoot over.
She did, and he came up and curled behind her, wrapping his arms around her and spooning into her.
Smiling back at him, he pressed a kiss to her nose and the pair fell asleep in each other's arms.
El woke up the next morning to Noah gently shaking him and whispering. "Daddy… daddy wake up."
He rolled over and looked at him and then the time.
7am.
He knew they should have made the time the kids could wake them up 7:30.
Gently unhooking himself from Liv, he rolled to face his son who stood at the side of their bed.
"Can we make the girls and Eli breakfast in bed?" He whispered and El smiled sleepily.
"Sure buddy. But what made you think of this?"
Noah shrugged. "An apology to mommy and something nice for Emma and Eli cause they're my best friends and Eli has seemed sad lately."
El couldn't stop his grin and reached his arms out, pulling the little boy close.
"I'm so proud of you buddy," he whispered and Noah beamed. "Go to the kitchen I'll be out in a second."
He nodded and ran off, grinning. El rolled over to kiss Liv's cheek, knowing she was awake and heard the whole thing.
Smiling against her cheek when he saw the tears falling out of her closed eyes, he reached a hand around to wipe them before gently taking her chin and encouraging her to look at him.
She opened her eyes to find blue staring back at her, and was unable to stop the smile that spread across her face. He pressed a sweet kiss to her lips, whispering against them.
"We've got a pretty awesome little boy. Go back to sleep. I love you."
Her heart soared and she nodded. "I love you," she whispered, rolling back over to cuddle Emma.
Noah knocked gently on his bedroom door before going in.
"It's your room too buddy you don't have to knock," Eli said, groggily from the top bunk.
Noah grinned. "Can I come up?" He whisper yelled, like little kids do.
"Sure, what time is it?" He responded with a yawn.
"8:30, dad made me wait," he whispered as he climbed up the ladder, curling up next to him.
"I have a surprise," he whispered loudly and Eli opened his eyes, clearing his throat.
"Why are we whispering," he responded at the same level, causing Noah to giggle.
"I don't wanna wake up mom and Em it's a surprise for everyone. Dad come here!" He called to the kitchen.
El walked in with a cup of coffee and leaned over the top railing, looking at his boys.
Noah grinned looking from the mug to Eli. The 16 year old chuckled and he sat up stretching and taking his coffee.
"I made it. Dad told me what to do but I made it." Noah said enthusiastically, watching his bro take a sip.
Eli was surprised and looked down. "Dang buddy. You're on coffee duty from now on," he smiled, wrapping an arm around him and watching him grin.
"We also made breakfast to give you and the girls breakfast in bed but I think you should go in mom and dads bed to eat with all of us?" He asked hopefully, looking up at his big brother.
Eli smiled. "I would love that buddy. What did I do to deserve this??" He teased but Noah looked at him seriously and shrugged.
"You're and Emmy are my best friends and I know you've been kinda sad this week so I just wanted to make you smile" he said honestly.
Eli was at a loss for words, and silently handed his coffee cup back to his dad before pulling Noah into a tight hug. "I love you dude… thank you so much. And you know what? You're my best friend, too."
Noah grinned up at him and El grabbed his phone taking a picture of the two.
Eli picked his up. "Let's send Sammi a photo," he said, referencing his crush and the little's dance instructor.
Noah grinned as they took a few selfies and sent them to Sammi.
E: My little best friend made me coffee and brought it into my bed this morning! He said I've seemed sad and wanted to make me smile.
S: Omggg I love him!!! You're the best big bro! He talks about you all the time :)
But you have been sad :( Have you talked to Dickie yet.
E: :) Love that dude. No I haven't. Seeing him today though, ugh.
S: I'm sorry :( Here if you need me!
S: I know you guys are having a day with your dad today, so many we can hang out tomorrow? If Noah can spare you for a few hours- haha. :)
E: For sure! Maybe you can come home with us after church? :)
Eli tossed his phone and Noah giggled at his smile. He gave him a playful shove and the pair climbed down the ladder.
Noah and El retreated to the kitchen and Eli quietly climbed in bed on the other side of his sister.
Liv was awake and smiled up at him. "Hi baby… you doing okay?"
He nodded giving her a sad smile. "Just been a tough few days but I'm thankful for my little best friends," he said fondly and seriously.
Liv reached over to squeeze his arm lovingly.
"You're getting lunch with Dickie today?" He asked and she nodded. "How'd you know?"
He laughed, half heartedly, and looked at her. "Lizzie." They both said at the same time.
He sighed looking down. "Maybe you can talk to him when you guys all meet up later?" Liv asked hopefully and Eli shrugged.
"I'm just really hurt. I know we technically made up but… I don't know, being here with Noah and Emma… Dickie hasn't ever been that way or kind with me. And I always thought it was just a bro thing but…" he paused sighing, "I can't imagine ever being any other way to Noh." He looked at her and she nodded for him to continue.
"It's like, yeah he does stuff that's annoying but he's 9 and he's still my baby bro and at the end of the day I just want him to be happy," he stopped when he heard them outside the door and Liv nodded at him.
"Think about if there's anything I can say to him at lunch. Maybe you and I can continue this conversation tomorrow over some ice cream after church?" She asked and he smiled small.
"I was gonna try and hang out with Sammi but maybe the three of us could go out for ice cream."
Liv feigned shock, "you trust your embarrassing mom to be around your girlfriend????" She asked and he laughed hard, causing Emma who had been awake for most of the time to giggle.
"She's not my girlfriend and you're not embarrassing, mom… dad is," he said, reaching down to tickle Emma who giggled harder, snuggling Into his side.
"Also, I knew you were pretending to be asleep," he teased the little girl who smiled and sat up, pulling the blankets higher around them all and snuggling in.
"What's your take on all this," he asked seriously, looking down at his sister who was wise beyond her years, just like their mom.
"I think Dickie doesn't know how to have brothers. Cause he grew up with all sisters and then he was older when you were born and then you guys moved so," she shrugged, "I think he's just jealous. And he misses his mom."
Eli laughed and hugged her to his side. "You're the best," he said and she smiled up at him as El and Noah came in with trays.
"Surprise!!!" Noah cried, beaming like a fool.
They all oohed and awed over him and he could contain his happiness.
The family of 5 ate and chatted together before El smiled at the kids. "Okay… go get ready guys I've got a some surprises for us today," he smiled.
The kids grinned and nodded, heading to get ready. Liv laid back with a content sigh, looking over at him.
"I'm so happy babe," she said, fondly.
He leaned over to kiss her slowly. "Me too… me too." He whispered and gently began to trail kisses down her jaw bone to her neck.
"El… our doors open and the kids are home," she laughed softly, biting back a moan but reaching for his waist band anyways.
"So let's go in the bathroom," he whispered into her ear, sucking softly at the sensitive spot right below it.
She smirked up at him. "Can we kick them out one weekend?" She asked laughed. "I'd like to have sex with my guy in our bed for once," she teased and he laughed into her neck.
"I think we can arrange that… but for now…" he stood up, pulling her into the bathroom with him as she giggled.
She was up against the wall in a matter of seconds after he'd shut and locked the door.
"You know what else comes with kicking the kids out for the night?" She asked and he answered with a "hmmm" as he began unbuttoning her pajama shirt.
"Sleeping naked."
"Captain," he admonished and she giggled as she pushed his sweats and underwear down.
"What??? I like waking up to this," she paused to grip him firmly, "pressed up against my ass or between my legs."
He let out a soft growl and pushed her pants down, not bothering to slide her now unbuttoned top down her arms.
She gasped as he hoisted her leg up around his waist and gently thrusted himself along her folds, coating his hard cock with her essence.
"What's the wildest place you ever had sex?" He asked and she shook her head "definitely not having this conversation right noowwww" she drawled out the end as he pushed into her slowly.
"C'mon," he whispered as he thrusted his hips painfully slow, "tell me."
"You're not going to like IT!" She gasped, "Jesus El!"
He smirked at the effect two quick and deep thrusts had on her, returning to his steady rhythm.
His free hand inched slowly down between them and he quickly circled her clit. "Mhm El just like that," she breathed out, rolling her head back to give him access to her neck.
He greedily accepted and nipped gently at her pulse point, speeding up a bit.
When he felt her begin to flutter, he slowed his movements and pulled his hand back. She whined, grasping his hand and trying to put it back.
"Tell me," he whispered in her ear.
"You're gonna get jealous," she taunted him, staring into his eyes.
"When has a jealous fuck ever been bad a bad fuck," he countered, sliding his free hand to her other thigh and lifting her up.
She wrapped her legs around his waist and she smirked. "Ed fucked me from behind out on a balcony overlooking Paris," she said evilly.
The fire burned in his eyes and his cock twitch inside of her.
Before she knew it she was pressed firmly against the wall as he barreled into her. He put a hand over her mouth to muffle her cries and looked down at where their bodies met.
"A balcony in Paris huh?" He hissed. "Did Ed ever make you this fucking wet," he asked her and she shook her head, whining into his hands.
"Don't make a sound," he muttered, running his hand down her body from her mouth.
He circled her clit and and she leaned her head over biting at his shoulder and chest to keep quiet.
"Did Ed touch you like this," he asked, pressing his thumb down a little harder as he circled her.
She shook her head letting out a whimper and he thrusted more quickly, nearing his release.
"Did you let Ed fuck you raw and cum inside of you," he rasped and she shook her head again, clenching around him.
"Y-you… oh fuck Elliot harder..." he accepted her request and it was all it took for both of them to tumble over the edge together.
He continued to thrust gently as they came down from their highs, both looking down between them and reveling at the sight of his cock coated with both of them.
They were both moaning softly still, on the exhale of their panting, and she dropped a leg. He helped her steady and she looked up at him with big eyes, wondering if her revelation had been too much.
Catching her eyes, he smiled softly and kissed her slowly. "You're the only one I've let fuck me without a condom," she whispered against his lips and his smile grew as he kissed her again.
There was a knock at their door and they both laughed softly looking towards it.
"Daddy what are you wearing today, I wanna match!" Noah called in and Elliot laughed.
"I don't know buddy, give me just a few! And shut our bedroom door on your way out please!" He called out and they smiled when they heard him run away and slam the door. He slipped out of her with a growl and kissed her.
"Definitely need a kids free weekend."
She threw her hands in the air and smiled. "I've been saying!"
She turned to open up the door, but stopped to look back at him. "Hey," she said and he stopped, looking up from the shower faucet.
"For the record, I'd rather sneakily have sex with you, up against the wall in our bathroom with our three kids home than on a balcony in Paris any day."
His lips turned up into a silly grin and she winked at him.
