With an 'S'?
Two hours later Olivia pulled up in front of a rather large house on 5th Avenue. Both Elliot and Olivia were at a loss about what to say. A chuckle came from the backseat, and the other passengers just looked at him.
"Hey, I said not to be surprised. I tried to warn you."
"Yeah, but we weren't expecting this!" Elliot answered.
"Anyway, thanks for the ride guys. Elliot, I'll call you once everything gets settled. We'll do lunch or something."
"Okay. Well, its been fun Toby." Elliot and Toby got out of the car and stood on the sidewalk.
"Yeah, it has," Toby and Elliot quickly embraced. "See ya," he ducked down and looked back into the car, "bye Olivia."
"Bye Toby," Olivia called from the driver's seat.
Toby said one last goodbye and walked up to the front door of the house. He knocked on the door and waited for an answer. His father opened the door, looked at Toby, gave him a giant hug and ushered him into the house.

Later that night Elliot and Olivia were curled up together on the couch watching a movie on television.
"I am so glad you are home."
"Me too, baby, me too," he turned his head and gave her a deep and loving kiss. Olivia smiled as he pulled back and wrapped her arms around his neck. She laid down on the couch and pulled him down on top of her.
"I love you, El"
"I love you too, Liv." That night neither detective got much sleep.
'Good Morning New York! It is a sunny November morn-'
Elliot's arm shot out from under the covers and turned off the alarm. He opened his eyes and tried to read the red digital numbers on the clock. He groaned and turned to face Olivia.
"Liv…Liv!"
"What? It's early, go back to sleep."
He smiled, leaned over and gave her a quick kiss, "Your alarm went off sweetie, you need to get up. Perverts and pedophiles wait for no one."
She opened her eyes, glared at him and shook her head. "I don't want to get up. Someone kept me up all night."
Elliot grinned and gave her an innocent 'Who Me?' face, "Hey, you weren't complaining then."
"And I'm not complaining about that now, I am complaining about the time of day."
"Well, get up," he grabbed the comforter and pulled it off of her cold body.
"Hey!" she protested, "If I have to get up, so do you!"
"Yeah, okay. I need to talk to Cragen and I am up now anyway."
The two got out of bed, took a shower, ate breakfast and unwillingly braved the cold to get to work.

Two Weeks Later
RING RING RING
"Stabler"
"Hey Elliot, What's up?"
"Hey Toby. Not much, just work. What's going on with you?"
"Not much here either."
"So, what's up? You need something?"
"Yeah, actually. Harry left his stuffed bear at your house Saturday. I just wanted to know if it was alright that I come get it later."
"Yeah, sure. Liv wasn't feeling well today, so you can go whenever you want. She is at home, so feel free to stop by at any point."
"Okay, that's fine. Is she okay?"
"I think so. She was just nauseated and tired this morning, so I convinced her to stay home and rest."
"Okay, well, I'll see ya later."
"Bye Tobe."
After hanging up with Elliot, Toby decided to stop by the apartment around lunch. He continued to work on his newest prisoner advocacy case. Around 12:30 he left his officer, which was just one room in his house, and headed towards Elliot and Olivia' place.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Toby was about to knock again when he heard shuffling and locks on the other side of the door. The door slowly opened and Olivia looked at Toby.
"Hey. What are you doing here in the middle of the day?" Olivia asked him.
"Hey. I could ask you the same thing. I actually came to get Harry's stuffed bear. He left it here on Saturday. I called Elliot and he said you were here, so I decided to come by. How are you feeling?"
Olivia stepped back and allowed Toby entrance to the apartment. "I'm feeling better, thanks."
"That's good. Elliot sounded worried over the phone."
"He always over reacts. It isn't bad. I was actually fine a couple hours after he left, but I decided to relax the rest of the day."
"Sound like a good idea. Do you have any idea what could be ailing you?"
"Sort of, but I have no clue if Elliot and I are ready for that."
Toby thought for a moment. Then the realization hit him, his eyes widened, "Have you bought a test yet?"
"Yeah, this morning, but I am scared to do it."
"Why don't you do it now and I will sit with you. Maybe if you have moral support, it won't be so bad."
"Yeah, okay. I would like that." She went to the bathroom and came back out a few minutes later. She went to the kitchen and set the timer on the stove to go off when the test was done. "Now we wait."
They sat and waited in silence on the couch. The timer on the stove finally went off, after what seemed to be forever.
"Here we go," Olivia said as she went towards the bathroom. Toby went to the kitchen and turned off the timer. He turned around and saw Olivia leaving the bathroom.
"So…?"
- - - - - - - - - -
Elliot walked into the apartment her shared with Olivia around 10:30 that night. He had been interrogation a suspect since that afternoon and finally broke him an hour before. He was exhausted and just wanted to eat, make sure Olivia was okay and sleep.
After making himself and eating a quick sandwich, he ventured into their bedroom. Olivia was asleep, propped up against the headboard with a book in her lap. She looks so beautiful and peaceful like that, Elliot thought to himself.
Elliot went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, stripped down to his boxers and go in bed beside her. He leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Olivia stirred a little and her eyes fluttered open.
"Hey," she said sleepily.
"Hey. Go back to sleep. I just wanted to tell you I was home and get you into a more comfortable position," he leaned over and gave her another kiss.
Olivia took the book from her lap and placed it on the bedside table. "Okay, I love you sweetheart."
"I love you too, honey. Are you feeling better?" he asked as he wrapped his strong arms around her.
"Yeah. Goodnight," she snuggled into his embrace.
"I'm glad. Goodnight, baby."
The next morning Elliot woke up around 4:30 to see that Olivia wasn't next to him. It was then that he heard her in the bathroom. He got out of bed and padded towards the bathroom door. He found her slumped next to the tub with her head in her hands.
"You feeling okay? What's wrong?"
"Oh hey. I didn't mean to wake you."
"you didn't, don't worry about it. What's up?" he asked as he got a wet wash cloth and helped clean her up. "Do you need to stay home again?"
"No, I'm fine. I'm just not used to this. But I'll have to get there at some point."
"What?" he asked in confusion, "What do you mean you'll have to get used to it at some point?"
Olivia looked up and locked eyes with him. "I found out yesterday that morning sickness usually only last a few hours at a time. I will be fine before we need to leave for work."
Elliot shook his head, "Okay, as long as you tell me when-" Elliot's eyes went wide, "Wait! Did you say morning sickness?" She nodded and smiled at his realization. "You're pregnant? You…We are gonna have a baby?"
Olivia nodded, "Yeah, is that okay? I know we didn't plan this and we aren't married and you already have-"
"Olivia!" he interrupted, "this is great! I am so thrilled!"
He sat down beside her and pulled her into his lap, "A baby! Wow, this is great."
"Well, actually…two babies," she told him with a shy smile.
"Two? With an 'S'? Twins?"
"Yeah. After Toby made me take the test yesterday, he made me go to the doctor. She confirmed it and said we were having twins," she smiled.
Elliot's face broke out into a huge grin and he gave her a kiss. "I can't believe it. We are gonna be parents!"
"I know. Scary, huh? You and me? Not the best role models in the world," she said with a dramatic eye roll.
Elliot laughed. "Well, I think we can manage."

Later that Day
"Benson"
"You tell him?"
"Yes, Toby, I told him this morning when he caught me during a bout of morning sickness. Not the best way to tell him, but he seems excited."
"Good."

A/N 2: I just wanted to inform you guys that I am not great at writing two things – sex scenes, as you saw, and pregnancies. So, don't expect the next chapter to be the next few months. It will probably jump right to the birth. Please R&R!
