"Just open it…"
He gave her a funny look and opened it, staring for a minute before looking back up to her.
She was biting her lip and watching him as he looked back down to study the contents of the card again.
He put it closer to his face and she giggled softly as tears formed in her eyes.
Finally setting it down, he looked at her. "You… are you…" he whispered and tears came to his eyes.
Grasping his hand she nodded slowly.
"We're…" he was speechless and she nodded again as they both started to cry.
"Five weeks," she said barely out loud.
His sobs turned into happy laughter and he tossed the card containing her ultrasound photo onto the night stand. Kneeling up to grasp her face, he kissed her passionately.
He pulled back to look at her. "We're having a baby???" He said and she nodded covering her mouth and starting to cry again.
"How??" He asked holding her arms.
She sniffled getting her breathing under control. "Something was off I just… I knew I just knew and I asked Jenny to do an ultrasound yesterday and…" she trailed off and he kissed her again.
"Holy shit a baby…" he whispered and she nodded. "We're having a baby, El…"
He just wrapped her in his arms tightly and they cried together, savoring a moment that, just a day ago, they thought they'd never experience.
When they finally got their emotions under control, she spoke again. "I… I don't want to tell the kids yet.. they were crushed a-and…"
Nodding vehemently, he held her hand. "Definitely baby…"
"You know uh.. I'll be about 12 weeks a-at Christmas and maybe.. maybe we could tell them then? When we give them the papers.."
He nodded and smiled. "That would be incredible, Olivia."
She was beaming and gently rubbed her still flat belly.
"I think it's a boy," she whispered and he laughed kissing her again.
"Why? How do you know already?" He asked and they laid back, holding each other, his hand moving to her belly.
"I popped like right away with Emma, and I puked every morning for 4 months," she laughed. "So far I haven't puked and I'm carrying differently already."
He laughed and just squeezed her tightly. "I can't believe it... another boy..."
"Jenny said we could do some testing and get the gender at 10 weeks... would that be okay?"
He nodded immediately and kissed her. "Of course," he whispered, running his hand up her belly to her nipples. "What happened with these when you were pregnant with Emma," he whispered and she giggled.
"I made myself cum just by playing with them," she whispered and he let out a soft moan. "Oh Liv," he said causing her to giggle.
They kissed passionately for several minutes and then she pulled back to look up at him. "We're having a baby..."
"I'll never get sick of you saying that," he laughed and she kissed him again.
"I'm gonna go on light duty at work... should I tell Fin at least?" She asked and he nodded. "Definitely."
"Should he be The Godfather? He should right?" El asked and she laughed. "Absolutely."
She rolled on top of him to straddle him. "Baby... this is okay right?" He asked and she laughed.
"Yes. I already confirmed. We're fine to have as much sex as we want unless I start feeling discomfort which," she rushed and put a finger on his lips, "yes, I will tell you."
He smiled and kissed her. "We're having a baby..."
"We're having a baby," she repeated against his lips, kneeling up and grasping his base beneath her.
"I'm gonna be a daddy again," he murmured, almost incoherently as she slid down onto him.
"Yes you are, daddy..." She gasped, slowly rocking her hips, high-pitch moans escaping her lips with every quick movement.
His arms circled her waist and hips as he mimicked the speed and intensity of her movements.
Pulling his head between her breasts, she held on tightly to him tightly, smiling and enjoying the sensation between her legs and the one in her heart.
They were having a baby. The two of them. Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson.
Olivia Stabler.
She was pregnant at 53 with her ex-partners baby.
Her husband.
And it was one of the greatest feeling she'd ever experienced.
Finally- she'd have this moment with him. Their family and their kids.
Crying out when he hit a particularly deep spot inside of her aching core, she directed his head to one of her nipples.
Oh fuck... that sensation was still there.
He held onto her as her back arched and he continued his upwards thrusts and nip at her hard buds.
Her bouncing became more frantic and she clenched down around him, starting to quake and cry out.
"Yes... yes El just like that baby," she yelled out breathlessly.
Increasing the flicking of his tongue, he groaned. "I'm gonna cum," he murmured and she clenched tighter around him as she came unraveled.
"Elliot... Elliot," she cried out as he filled her.
"Uhh... babe," he moaned into her chest as his abdomen clenched and spasmed, his orgasm prolonging as she continued to squeeze around him.
"I love you, daddy," she whispered, and he smiled. "I love you, momma..."
"What time do the kids come home tomorrow," he whispered against her neck as she rested her head on his.
"10... We have back to back to back soccer matches," she laughed softly. "12, 1, and 2." She said, closing her eyes and savoring their closeness.
"You know Eli's gonna wanna get to the field by 10:45," he laughed and she nodded. "Yes, figure we'll be ready to go when they get home."
He lifted his head and looked up at her smiling. "Long day at the field..."
"Everything I've ever wanted with you," she whispered, kissing his lips softly.
"Maybe if we wake up early enough... you can tell me about how you were able to cum just by nipple stimulation," he whispered against her lips and she giggled.
"Getting hard again, Mr. Stabler?" She whispered, gently starting to move as she felt him stiffen again. "Mhm... think you can go again?" He moaned against her and she grinned.
"It's your birthday baby... whatever you want tonight," she winked.
She woke the next morning to her husband hungrily sucking and nibbling at her breasts.
"Hmmm baby," she moaned softly, stretching her arms high above her head. "Time is it?" She asked.
"9am..." he trailed off as he snuck a finger down her belly to her hips.
"Hmmm and to what do I owe this pleas-" she gasped as he dipped a thick finger inside of her.
"I told you... I wanna know how you made yourself cum by playing with your nipples," he whispered, moving his mouth to her neglected breast.
She opened her mouth to tell him when their front door opened and they heard their kids bustling in.
"Shit"
"Nooo"
They said together, pulling apart and quickly covering themselves up.
"Guuuys we're back," Noah said sprinting in. "Ohhhh gross are you guys naked," he groaned covering his face and running out. "Guys mom and dad are having sex!" He called.
"No we aren't!!! We just woke up!!!" El cried, embarrassed causing Liv to laugh and bury her face in his arm.
Lizzie walked in and looked at them laughing. "You could have texted!" Liv exclaimed and she laughed again. "This is way funnier. Get dressed."
She pulled the door shut and Liv looked up at her husband, kissing him softly.
"C'mon... big day!" She said getting up.
The family spent the rest of the day at the soccer fields, cheering on the kids and laughing together. Noah was the last to play, and Eli and El were running the length of the field with him, cheering him on and jumping up and down when he scored a few times.
Emma was leaned against her mom and smiled up at her. Her darkening, braided hair was growing longer and longer, and the time spent in the sun was making her freckles pop even more than usual.
She giggled, watching her brother run with their dad. "Eli needs sunscreen," she commented and Liv nodded.
"Go bring him some... I'll embarrass him," she said and Emma laughed. "Probably!!"
She jumped up and ran to her big brother with the sunscreen spray.
"You're burning," she said, nudging him and he laughed, kneeling down and holding his breath.
She sprayed his face and he stood, leaning back down to kiss her head. "Thanks for looking out for me sis," he smiled and she grinned, running back to her mom and sitting down.
"I'm just lucky I have your tan skin," she laughed and Liv nodded. "I know... Thankfully you didn't get daddy's Irish skin."
She laid against her, covering them up with a blanket to ease the chill of the crisp fall day.
"Do you look like your mom or your dad?" Emma asked, as Liv gently played with the end of her braid.
"Well... I never met my dad but I didn't much look like my mom." She responded, gently.
Em nodded and shrugged. "I'm glad I look like you, you're the most beautiful person alive. I hope I always look like you."
Liv blinked quickly and wrapped her arms tightly around her girl, tickling her. "You still look like Lizzie a little," she smiled.
"Well... she's the second most beautiful," she smiled, going back to watching her brothers and dad.
Laughing, Liv kissed her temple and smiled.
Noah's team won the game and the three guys jumped around excitedly as the girls cheered.
They came sprinting over Noah fell into his mom grinning and laughing. "Careful baby," she laughed and he smiled up at her. "Can we get pizza?"
"Yes," Eli answered on everyone's behalf, causing laughter to fill the areas.
Liv was in her office early the following Monday morning when Fin came in the squad room.
"Fin," she called in her Captain voice, startling him, "come here."
Amanda laughed at him. "Sucker," she said Liv looked through her blinds at her. "You too Rollins."
She stopped laughing and Fin stuck his tongue at her before they both walked in with their tails between their legs.
"Sit," she commanded, as she stood looking out her window. She sighed and walked over to her desk picking up a file and opening it. Looking at it silently and letting them simmer she finally closed it and handed it to Fin.
He looked at Amanda and the back at her before slowly opening it.
"Shut up." He said immediately, looking up at her. She was grinning now and Amanda snatched the file containing her ultrasound, "what?!" She cried jumping up.
Liv laughed, smiling huge, and nodding. "5 weeks."
They both rushed to hug her with tears in her eyes. "I can't believe it," Fin said. "Congrats momma... this is amazing."
"Is Elliot dying? Have you told the kids???" Amanda questioned and Liv wiped her eyes smiling.
"El is thrilled... kids don't know. We're gonna tell them on Christmas, but I wanted to tell you guys cause effective right now I'm going on light duty."
"I'm glad you've come to that decision on your own" Fin said jokingly, but also not.
"Seriously. I'm so happy for you Cap... you guys deserve this!!"
She hugged her friends again, grinning to herself.
Their squad was growing by one, and it was going to be the most special addition yet.
