A/N: On a roll.
She held up the baby-sized Yankees jersey and he grinned stupidly, kissing her passionately.
Once again, they were in sync.
He went to his closet and handed her a box.
"What's this?" She asked, opening it.
Inside were four custom Yankees jerseys, sporting "STABLER" across the back and the numbers 1-4 as they decreased in size.
She burst out in tears and he laughed at her hormones pulling her into a hug.
"He-he's gonna…" she sniffled burying his head in her chest "he's gonna be so happy" she cried squeezing him.
He laughed and hugged rubbed her back.
She leaned up and kissed him passionately, moaning softly. "You're the best daddy…" she whispered against his mouth. "We're so lucky, El…. I love you so much."
He kissed her back and smiled. "Not as much as I love you, Cap. How about we keep the boy tidbit to ourselves until after I can get this jersey customized and we sign Noah's papers."
She nodded and kissed him again, pushing him against the wall.
He laughed and let his hands fall to her hips. She had on high waisted leggings and a tight camisole that perfectly extenuated her growing bump.
"Baby…" he whispered kissing her again. "The big kids will be here any minute…" he moaned as she slipped a hand down his pants.
"So be quick, Stabler…. Last quickie in this apartment… come on…" she begged desperately.
He considered it and looked down at her. He could never say no, especially not when she was glowing like she was.
She saw his eyes relent and she smirked, pushing his shorts down and turning around.
He pushed her leggings down just enough, and slid into her easily. He wrapped a hand around her mouth from behind, muffling her moan.
She'd always been vocal, but could at least control herself when the boys were home.
The minute she got pregnant, all of her control went out the window.
It's not that he didn't love when she screamed his name, it's just that that wasn't a conversation he needed to have with his boys. Like, ever.
He thrust up into her with reckless abandon.
He enjoyed being sensual and slow with her, and she often asked for him to make love to her, but on the occasions that Olivia just needed to be fucked, he was happy to oblige.
They heard their front door open and the kids come in, and he reached around, under the gentle slope of her belly and rubbed her clit.
She bit down on his hand as she shattered around him and he closed his eyes and held his breath as he exploded deep inside of her.
They took a second to calm their breathing and he kissed her passionately.
"I fucking love you Benson" he said in a deep growl as they fixed their clothes.
She smiled and bit her lip. "I love you too, but don't use that voice on me any more today because I'll have to jump you where you stand."
They both laughed and he reached to fix a stray hair from her pony tail.
"So…" he asked, "how do you wanna tell them."
She shrugged looking down "I look pretty pregnant right now, and feel pretty pregnant, and can't imagine being outside in this heat in any more clothing."
He smiled and placed a hand on her belly. "Should we just rip the bandaid off?"
She hesitated and then nodded "I think so…" she smiled shyly up at him.
He kissed her nose and went to walk away before she stopped him.
"I had Dickie tell Eli…" she confessed, "I was worried he would take it hard… he did but King Dickie worked his magic. He and I talked about it this morning. He was happy and called me mom."
She blinked back some tears and he walked over to kiss her softly. "That was a good call that I didn't even think about. You're super mom."
She blushed shaking her head. "I think the girls and Noah will at least be excited."
"Not worried about them at all." He laughed. "Come on… let's rip the bandaid"
He hid the jerseys back in a box and then walked out of their room together.
"Hi guys…" they smiled as they emerged.
"Hi!" came the replies of the girls and their boyfriends/husbands, and Dickie and Sarah sitting on the couch.
Elliot winked at Dickie and Eli, signaling them to keep their mouths shut.
Liv walked around the couch, coming into full view. Neither parent said anything, they just leaned down to kiss the girls cheeks. Liv kept a hand protectively on her small bump.
The girls noticed right away, their jaws dropped as they came to the realization. Noah was squished between Maureen and her husband Carl, having an in depth conversation with him about the Yankees and totally oblivious to any changes in his mom's appearance.
When Liv had finished making the rounds to say hi to all the kids, Kathleen spoke first, the look of shock slowly change into a huge grin.
"Mama Liv…Is there something you want to share with us…" she said, her voice an octave higher than it's normal range.
Liv shrugged her shoulder and grinned back. Lizzie jumped up from the couch speechless before jumping up and down pointing.
Maureen was the last to react, the tears falling immediately.
Liv tensed seeing them, but Maureen got up and pulled her into a huge hug. "Oh my god, oh my god!" She cried, placing a hand on her belly.
Liv grinned as her tears started to fall to. She wrapped her arms around Mo, squeezing her gently.
Lizzie and Kathleen rushed them, piling onto the hug. All three young women spoke over each other, hugging Liv, touching her belly and crying.
"This is a miracle!" Lizzie cried. "I can't believe it!" She looked over at her twin and oldest little brother incredulously. "Hello?!?! Earth to idiots!"
They both grinned. Dickie couldn't contain himself anymore and he jumped up. "I KNEW BEFORE YOU GUYS" he cackled.
The girls heads whipped around to glare at their dad, ready to pounce, but before they got the chance he spoke up, "He came in and saw the test I didn't tell him on purpose!"
Liv watched Eli with uncertainty and he smiled standing up just like his brother and laughing.
"I knew too- suckers!!!!"
The girls all groaned yelling at their brothers, all talking over one another, before a small voice piped up.
"Uhhhh… what's going on…" Noah asked raising a brow.
They all went quiet and then laughed. Maureen sat back next to him and pulled him in her lap.
"Well... Mom and dad are having a baby!" She said enthusiastically, but gently to the youngest in the room.
He thought about it for a second and looked at his siblings then back at her.
"Like you and Carl did?" She nodded and smiled.
He nodded slowly, thinking about it before realization hit. "Wait a minute..." he paused looking at her for a moment.
He grinned jumping up. "So I get to be a big brother?! Like Eli and Dickie?!" He asked looking at them.
They nodded and Dickie scooped him up hanging him over his shoulder while Eli ruffled his hair. "Yep!" Dickie said smiling and Eli held his hand out for a high five. "Welcome to the big bro club" he said smiling.
Once everyone had relaxed from the news and given hugs, Kathleen piped up again.
"So? Boy or girl? When are you due?"
"Ah… gender will come in due time. But they're healthy. No abnormalities. We did a full panel" Liv said smiling.
Everyone let out a sign of relief they didn't know they were holding.
Elliot nodded and looked at Liv. "We just got that good news today… we were gonna wait a bit to tell you but uh" he nodded a Liv's bump, "it's getting harder to hide that."
Everyone laughed and El paused looking at his kids.
"If all goes according to plan… we'll be welcoming the newest Stabler on March 25…"
They all looked at him. Eli was the only one who knew the date. The others were quiet and teared up and Noah looked up at Eli. "What?" he whispered.
Eli draped an arm around him. "Well buddy… that's the day our mom went to be with Jesus. And that's so important, because," he paused to give a funny look at his parents to cut the tension, "mom and dad are kinda old" he teased, "and having a baby at their age is uncommon."
Noah nodded slowly. They'd begun to go to church with the Stablers and he'd taken a liking to it.
"So it's almost like Kathy helped them and it's watching over them?" The 10 year old said what everyone was thinking and he nodded.
"That's exactly right, little bro." He hugged him.
Dickie sniffled next to him wiping his eyes. "Jeez guys way to make a grown man cry."
Everyone laughed and Liv smiled at their kids.
Their kids.
She let a hand drift to her belly and Elliot watched her lovingly.
"Alright well… as much as I'd love to sit here with you guys all day, we've got furniture to move."
They all groaned playfully and stood again, pulling in for a group hug.
They were quiet for a moment as they all stood before Lizzie spoke. "No offense but I hope it's a girl. The boys don't need anyone else on their team."
Everyone laughed and Liv relaxed into Elliot with a smile.
