A/N: 60 chapters and 400 reviews! Wow!!!!

Thank you for the support and continue to enjoy this ride!!

Carl could barely contain his visible excitement when Mo spoke next, looking up at her dad. "How does another little grand baby sound?"

Elliot's jaw dropped and Mo shushed him gently, unable to stop her huge smile.

El was about to burst and looked at his wife who was biting her lip and smiling knowingly.

"Devil," he teased softly and she grinned.

"We're gonna tell everyone soon but wanted you to know," Carl smiled, feeling himself get emotional. "Thank you so much," he nodded, putting a hand on Mo's back and referencing the money they gave them for IVF.

"Would do it 100 more times," El nodded with a smile, blinking quickly himself. "You make us proud son," he added, voice cracking.

"Okay guys go bromance on the patio," Mo whispered and they both laughed.

"Sorry," El said, wiping his eyes discreetly.

The four chuckled when Teddy sighed quietly in his sleep.

"Same baby," Liv chuckled, taking him very gently from El. Mo smiled when he cuddled tightly into her.

"Loves his mommy. We're all so lucky to have you, Ma," Mo smiled.

"I'm definitely the lucky one," she smiled.

The whole crew said their final happy birthdays and left, and Liv and El tucked Emma into bed after tucking in a already passed out Noah.

"You have a good birthday," El asked, brushing back her hair.

She nodded. "The best… thank you guys so much," she smiled up at them.

"Anything for you, baby," Liv kissed her head. "Daddy and I are so proud of you. You know that?"

She nodded. "Thanks momma… I love you guys."

"Night sweet girl, I love you too."

"Night princess," El kissed her head. "I love you more than life. I'm so glad to be your daddy."

She blinked quickly and Liv chuckled. "I'm gonna shower. How about you two have some daddy daughter time?"

They both nodded and El curled beside her as Liv left.

"I love my necklace dad," she smiled, rolling to face him. "I'm glad… You know I sent mommy her's after I left… she said she'd just found out she was pregnant with you when she got it."

"Meant to be," Emma said with a smile and El chuckled. "Indeed. Thoughts on soccer vs dance next semester?" he asked and she shrugged. "Probably both… Eli and coach say I'm really good, but I also love dancing with Noah. It's just always been our thing."

El smiled. "I understand that, and I love that you guys share that."

"Gonna be so weird without Sammi there, though," she frowned. "But… Sarah said she'd put Anna Kate in when she turns two. By that point I'll be old enough to volunteer in the toddler class," she grinned, "and then maybe eventually even get paid!"

"Sloooow down girl," El laughed, pulling her for a hug.

"Sorry," she grinned, giggling. "Do you think Sam will let Joey and baby boy dance?"

"Definitely. And I think Eli will have them play soccer too."

"Nice," she smiled, and then paused. "Wait you think Eli will let him dance??"

"Yeah why not," El shrugged. "He loves watching you and Noh."

"That's fair," she nodded.

"Your little brothers and nieces and nephew are so lucky to have you, honey," he said proudly, making his daughter grin.

"I can't wait to meet them," she sighed happily. "I just wish Eli would give him a name!"

"He'll get there," El nodded. "He'll get there."

El said his good nights and returned to his bedroom, finding his wife in a towel in their bathroom.

Subconsciously licking his lips, he came up behind her and pressed a soft kiss to her shoulder.

She hummed a sigh of approval and leaned on the counter to steady herself for what she knew was coming.

He pulled her towel with him as he sunk to his knees, and pressed soft kisses to the generous slope of her ass as he gently encouraged her to bend over.

"How'd you know," he whispered, inhaling her and running his nose through her folds.

"You have tells," she replied softly, gasping when his tongue poke inside of her.

"Such as?" He asked, positioning himself to sit completely under her with the back of his head rested against the cabinet as her hips bucked into mouth.

"Y-your… fuck," she whined softly when he nipped at her throbbing clit. "Your eyes get all d-dark… you bite your lip and look…El," she gasped, trailing off when he pushed a finger inside of her and curled it towards the front of her pussy wall.

"Look like I just wanna devour you?" He asked, sucking at her clit and making a soft moan tumble from her lips.

"Elliot…"

He didn't answer her, just added another fingers and increased the rhythm of his ministrations, smirking when her legs began to shake mercilessly.

"N-not gonna," she gasped, trailing off and trying to keep quiet.

He removed his fingers from her and she heard the quick noise of his zipper and the shuffle of pulling himself free.

"M-more," she begged and he nodded, replacing his fingers and beginning to pump more quickly.

She came undone above him, and as aftershocks rocked her body, he pulled her down into his lap, encasing himself inside of her in one fast movement.

"Oh!" She cried in a husky moan that was a little too loud and made his hand fly to her mouth as she started bouncing on him.

"You have tells too," he said, his eyes locked on her perfect tits that bounced with her.

"Uh… uh… f-faster," she moaned, against his hand, and he obliged her, beginning to thrust upwards.

"You get this look when you're turned on… you're jaw goes slack," he said through gritted teeth, "and your eyelids get heavy," he grunted out as she squeezed his cock.

"C-cum," she whined, and he dropped his hand, holding her hips tighter as he thrusted up even harder.

She leaned over, biting at his shoulder while her pussy constricted even tighter and she fell over the edge.

He moaned, fighting his way deeper into her as his own orgasm came spilling out of him, his balls twitching against her.

Falling back breathless, he laughed softly at the lazy and tired look on her face.

"Gonna sleep good tonight," she whispered, sliding her hand up his body to cup his cheek.

"Hell yea," he nodded.

"Mom, dad, can I take a car tomorrow?" Eli asked nervously after appearing in their doorway once they were settled together in bed and redressed.

"Yeah, baby, you can take mine, dad can drop me at the precinct and I'll take a squad if need be."

"Thanks," he smiled nodding.

"You excited?" El asked, looking over his glasses at him.

"Yeah," he breathed out, nodding. "Nervous but," he shrugged.

"You gonna take tomorrow off?" Liv asked, patting the side of the bed and motioning for him to sit.

He plopped down and laid back, resting his head on her shoulder. "Might take a half day. Coach said I could practice either way. I talked to him the other day."

"He told me… he's proud of you and said he's got your back, buddy," El nodded.

"I know," he breathed. "I'm really lucky, aren't I?"

"More than you realize."

He nodded again. "What do we do after they're born?" He asked after a few minutes.

"What do you mean?" El asked, setting down his phone, removing his readers, and turning to face them.

"I mean… do I stay with her? Can I stay with her?"

Eli could tell from the look on his parents faces that neither had thought about that portion of the situation.

Liv looked to Elliot for help in a fast and silent conversation before nodding. "Yeah buddy. I think whatever she's comfortable with," she said and he nodded. "Cool.. alright well… gonna hit the hay… love you guys," he said, standing and hugging them both before leaving for bed.

Liv looked to El and shook her head as he went to stand. "We aren't babying him anymore," she warned and he nodded, exhaling a large breath and rolling to drape a heavy arm across her body.

She snuggled down and into him, pecking his lips. "Love you, papa."

"Love you Cap," he smiled into her chest.

In his room, Eli texted Sam

E: Hey… mom said I could take the car. Be there around 8… breakfast?

S: Please… been craving blueberry muffins!

E: Got it!

E: I'm sorry I haven't picked a name yet. Working on it…

S: We both know he's gonna be #3

E: Haha, I know. Need to see him first maybe

S: Alright, alright

E: Doing ok? Today was a long day

S: I'm fine! Everything hurts but that's normal. Basically have the nurseries planned thanks to the girls.

E: Sweeeet. Might take tomorrow off so we can talk about some things? If you're okay with that?

S: Yeah sure, agreed need to get some things ironed out. Also need to get their rooms actually done.

E: Harley mentioned next weekend?

S: Yes! That would be great. Trial starts the following Monday so it'll be a good distraction I've already ordered all of their stuff, so maybe your dad, Dick, and Carl can help put together with you and Beau?

E: Course whatever you need from me. Wish you'd let me buy something

S: With what money????

E: Ha Ha

S: ;)

S: I've got it. Promise. Just be their daddy, Eli. It's all I want.

E: I'm trying… really.

S: I know. And I appreciate you more than you know.

He paused a while before before taking a deep breath.

E: Can I come over? Spend the night? I'll bring an air mattress

S: What about my blueberry muffins??!

E: Haha… I'll get them.

S: That's fine, I don't care, I'm already down in the apartment

E: What??? You didn't tell me!

S: Didn't ask

E: Touché. Lemme ask my parents.

He tossed his phone down and went back to his mom and dads room, knocking and entering when they called for him.

His eyes adjusted to the tv lit brightness of their room and he smiled fondly at the site of them cuddled up.

Their legs were tangled and her head was on his chest as he played softly with her hair.

"You okay baby?" Liv asked and he nodded. "Can I go to Sams tonight? Stay over? I'll bring the air mattress."

"Is she okay?" El asked, concerned.

"Yeah yeah… just… yeah just wanna be with my babies I guess," he answered honestly, scratching his head awkwardly at the admission that surprised both him and his parents.

Liv looked up to El who nodded. "Yeah… that's fine just…" he trailed off.

"I'm respecting whatever Sam wants," he clarified. "Don't worry."

"We love you honey," Liv smiled small. "Text when you get there okay?"

He nodded, moving to kiss her goodbye and hug his dad before leaving.

"I'm gonna cry," she breathed and he laughed a bit. "I'm proud of him. He'll get there and be a hell of a dad."

"Well… he has a hell of an example," she said, craning her neck to see his face.

"You're too good to me," he sighed, kissing her nose.

"Someone has to be," she teased and he laughed, tickling her and making her squirm.

Eli parked after making a stop a a bodega that was close to their place, and knocked on Sam's door with his backpack of clothes on his shoulder and blueberry muffins and a bag in one hand.

She opened the door wearing an just oversized t shirt and holding her belly, and gasped happily. "Oh guys, daddy brought us muffins," she said eagerly, leaning to peck his cheek and take the muffins from him.

He chuckled softly and locked the door, shooting his parents a text before following her and looking around.

"Sorry pants make me want to die," she sighed and he chuckled, watching her.

"All good. Sam, this looks great," he smiled, his eyes finding her on the couch where she plopped down and was now using her belly as a table.

"Thanks, I think so," she nodded, mouthful of blueberry muffin.

He set his bag down and plopped beside her, taking out the box of chocolate chip muffins from the other bag.

"Oh those look good," she whined and he laughed. "Thought you wanted blueberry?"

"Joey did. But I'm convinced EJ wants chocolate chip, now."

"EJ?" He asked with a chuckle.

"Mhm," she said, breaking off a piece of his, "can't call him Elliot or Eli."

"What if I choose a different name, huh?" He ribbed.

"You won't."

He just laughed and they finished their food.

"Come lay in bed with me?" She asked, putting a hand on his knee.

"Sure," he nodded, pausing. "I brought the air mattress…"

"Eli I'm already pregnant, it's fine," she winked.

He laughed a little and watched as she stood slowly, holding her back with a soft groan.

Standing behind her, he pressed gently on the spot she was holding, eliciting a moan of relief.

"Do you want a massage?" He asked, gently putting pressure to the area and the surroundings.

"Isn't that how we got here?"

He laughed. "I'll be good."

"Harley takes no shit and we accidentally became best friends, you better be. Plus it's not you I'm worried about, it's me."

"Still?" He asked, guiding her into her room.

"You have no idea."

He thought of his grandma in effort to stop his own teenage hormones as she cackled at the look on his face.

He helped her into bed and got her comfy like she swore only he knew how to, and smiled when he climbed on the other side and wrapped an arm around her.

"What time do we have to be awake?" He asked, absentmindedly playing with her hair.

"7:30," she said, getting settled against him.

She watched as he set alarms on his phone and then flipped on her TV on, putting a sitcom on low.

He turned just a bit so he was facing her a little more and placed a hand on her belly, rubbing it softly with his thumb and smiling when he felt movement.

"That's your babies," she whispered.

"Insane," he nodded, gently rubbing her belly.

"They know your voice."

"How," he laughed softly. "I haven't even been here."

"I have no idea… they just always kick when they hear you. They must just know," she shrugged.

"You seem really relaxed and content… like you're back to being my Sam," he commented, rubbing her cheek softly.

"Holding that secret was hard," she whispered.

"I know… I'm sorry, but I'm here now."

"I know," she nuzzled his chest and closed her eyes. "Sleep okay? We'll figure out life tomorrow."

"Yes boss," he teased softly and she smiled against him.

Eli was awake before his alarm, doing his morning work out in the living room with his earbuds in.

He'd already texted with his dad that morning, updating him about how their night went and the plan for the day.

His phone buzzed to the side of him as he was doing push ups.

S: Come back to bed

He breathed out a soft chuckle, finishing his sets and then padding back into her room.

"I'm sweaty, let me jump in the shower," he nodded.

"Towels in the closet. It's so early," she yawned and he nodded, walking over to absentmindedly drop a kiss to her temple and then her belly.

"I know, couldn't sleep. Anxious."

"Talk to me," she asked softly, taking his hand and looking up at him.

"Let me shower," he whispered and she nodded, watching him disappear.

After a few minutes, he returned in just his sweats and snuggled up behind her, putting his hand on her belly and rubbing it gently.

"Just the usual stuff," he answered from earlier.

"I understand," she nodded, settling back against him.

"We gotta get ready soon," he whispered and she nodded. "Hold me a little longer?" She asked softly and he nodded. "Course."

They remained silent for a while longer before he spoke again.

"What do you think they'll be like?"

"I just have this feeling Joey is gonna be just like Emma and Liz, but more your mom's side of Emma."

"God help us," he cracked and she laughed.

"And I think EJ is gonna be like you… gentle and loving; will give the world for his sister."

"And let her boss him around?"

"Absolutely," she chuckled, and he smiled, breathing her in. "You're gonna be such a good mom… I can't wait to watch."

"Don't discount yourself, Stabler," she said seriously. "Watching your with Teddy last night made me super emotional... our babies are so lucky to have you."

His heart squeezed and his breath hitched. It was the first time she'd referred to the twins as "theirs"; the incredible, though untimely, miracle that linked them for life.

He cuddled into her a little more snuggly and nodded, pressing several soft kisses to her cheek.

"Watching you with all of them... it's amazing," he said on an exhale. "You're like.. the perfect combination of all the important women in my life. Mom's strength, Mo's leadership, Katie's heart, Lizzie's take no shit attitude, and Emma's ability to accept reality and... I can't think of a better person to raise our daughter and teach her to be strong and take no shit, nor a better person to make sure our boy knows what a strong woman is like. I don't tell you enough but... you're really incredible and I'm so lucky that... that we get to do this together. It's not ideal and it's not gonna be perfect but, I'm glad it's you that I get to share our babies with."

Tears were rolling down her face and she nestled back into him. "I feel the same... I don't know what life is gonna bring us but... I-I'm glad our daughter gets to have the next man in line for title of 'worlds best girl dad', after El and Dickie of course, and I know our son is gonna be just like you, which is the biggest blessing."

He tried to blink away several tears, but they'd already spilled onto her cheek. Kissing them away, he gently rolled her on her back and looked down at her.

Their lips were inching closer and closer when his alarms buzzed, pulling them back to reality and making them both laugh a little.

"Let's get ready," she whispered and he nodded.

"Okay."

Across town, El was curled behind his wife, a heavy arm wrapped protectively around her as they lay quietly together in the early hours of the morning.

They were watching Teddy roll around on his monitor, reaching for the one tiny Teddy Bear in the corner of his crib.

Noah made it a habit of switching out his bear every night before bed, and this morning's was, of course, Noah's.

The little one squealed with delight once he got it, and pulled it towards his face, nuzzling into it.

"I got him," El whispered, and she nodded and yawned, turning off the monitor and waiting for her guys to come back.

El returned with their baby and his teddy bear after a change and fresh diaper and laid him beside Liv.

He rolled immediately into her, opening his mouth expectantly and making both El and Liv laugh.

"Just like your daddy," she said, adjusting herself on her side so he could nurse.

"My sweet baby boy," she cooed, brushing back his bangs that had begun to curl.

His little hand snuck up her cheek and held it gently, looking up at her.

"He's the sweetest," El said. "Makes me want another," he teased, rolling his hips into her.

She laughed softly and shook her head. "Mama is done. We have 3 grandkids coming!"

"I know. How old do you feel?"

"Still not as old as you," she grinned, squealing softly when he pinched her ass.

"Jerk," he said, kissing her neck softly.

"Talk to Eli this morning?" She asked and he nodded.

"He texted, they've got the appointment in an hour and then they're gonna spend the day together and get their plan in place.

"Good," she nodded. "I feel better about all of this."

"Me too," he sighed happily.

"I can't wait to see them… I hope he sends a video."

"Me too.. I think today is the turning point."

"I'd agree."

"Jenny is gonna call me after the appointment… I wanna know how they act together," she laughed and El shook his head chuckling. "You're bad."

There was a knock at their door that made Teddy pull away from Liv's breast and look back.

"Nosy," she chuckled. "Come in," she called.

Noah shuffled and curled up on the free side of the bed.

Teddy was now totally distracted from eating and rolled towards his brother as Liv fixed herself and watched her littlest boys cuddle up together.

"I hope you guys will always be best friends," El said, kissing her head as they watched.

"We will," he nodded. "Right buddy?"

He asked, gently rubbing his chubby cheek and making him smile.

"I think that's a yes," Noah smiled, cuddling him closer and drifting back off with him.

Jenny walked into the exam room, smiling in surprise at Eli.

"Well this is nice!" She exclaimed and Sam chuckled. "Finally got him here."

"I love it… how do you feel sweetheart?"

She shrugged. "Been better. Everything is sore," she laughed.

"You get to take a bath yet?"

"No… tub just got installed but I don't trust myself getting in or out."

Jenny looked at Eli who nodded quickly. "Course."

"That's not-" Sammi was cut off by Eli's hand and she breathed out a chuckle. "Okay, okay."

"Alright… let's see our twins," Jenny smiled, getting her prepped for the ultrasound.

The pair appeared on the screen and their heartbeats filled the room after just a few minutes, and both women looked to Eli, anxious for his reaction.
