The Arrival
8 Months Later
Elliot and Olivia were sitting at their kitchen table discussing wedding plans. They had decided to have the wedding after their children were born.
"So, where do you want to hold the wedding?"
"The beach, if that's okay with you. I think it would be so romantic to have it on thee beach at sunset." (a/n: I know cliché, so sue me.)
"That sounds great," Elliot smiled and gave Olivia a quick kiss.
"Have you thought about who, other than Toby, is gonna be in the wedding?"
"Yeah, I have actually. I was thinking Fin, Munch and Toby would be groomsmen and Dickie would be my best man. What about you?"
"Well, Casey is my maid-of-honor and I was thinking about asking your girls to be my bridesmaids."
"That is a wonderful idea. They will be thrilled."
"Good, I'm glad."
With those two important steps out of the way, they decided to stop for the night. They sat on the couch curled into one another. Elliot put his hands on Olivia's very pregnant stomach. They had decided they wanted to know the sex of the twins, so they could be prepared with the nursery and such. At one doctor's appointment they found out that they were having a boy, which thrilled Elliot and Dickie, and a girl, which of course the other girls were excited about. They only problem they had now was what to name the kids. They had been talking about it and couldn't come up with anything. They gave it another shot on this night.
"Michael?"
"No, Sara?"
"No, Doug?"
"Doug? I like it. Douglas. Brittany?"
"That's sounds pretty. Doug and Brittany."
"Middle names?"
Elliot groaned, "It only took us four months to come up with first names. We don't have four months to agree on middle names."
Olivia chuckled, "I know. How about this, you give Douglas a middle name and I will give Brittany one?"
"Okay. No vetoes?"
She eyed him suspiciously, "No vetoes."
"I got one then."
"That was quick. You must have been sitting on it for a while now."
"Yeah, actually I have been. I was scared to say anything, but with no vetoes, I will put it out there for ya."
Olivia eyed him questionably, "Okay, what is it?"
"Rocco."
"Rocco?"
"Yeah, Douglas Rocco. What do you think?" he asked her nervously.
She thought about it for a moment, "I like it. It's different, but not too different. At least it isn't a fruit or a month or something."
Elliot smiled, "I'm glad you like it. I thought you would reject it immediately. I was nervous."
Olivia turned her head and gave him a kiss, "I love it. Don't doubt yourself." Olivia's face lit up, "Evelyn!"
"What?"
"Evelyn. Brittany Evelyn."
"Oh! That sounds wonderful and pretty. Douglas Rocco and Brittany Evelyn Stabler. Now all we need to do is get you caught up with the family name. You are the only one without it."
Olivia smiled and kissed him gently. "Now that we agreed on names, we can have these kids."
As if on cue, Olivia felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
"Ahhh – I didn't mean right now!"
Elliot chuckled and Olivia glared at him, "Hey! You asked for it."
"I did not."
Elliot smiled, "Well, just think. Our children want to come and meet their wonderful and sexy mommy."
"Yeah, I can't wait. I – ahhh – I think we need to leave soon."
"Okay. Has your water broken?"
"Do you feel wet? No, it hasn't."
Elliot rolled his eyes, "We should wait until then."
"Okay, only if you are sure. I don't want to have these kids in this apartment."
"Yeah, I'm sure." He got off the couch and went to their room and packed her bag. He was calmer than he thought he would be. He guessed the experience of going through this three times before and the fact that it wasn't that close to time yet, settled his nerves.

10 Hours Later
Elliot and Olivia had been at the hospital about four hours now. The contractions were now coming really close and she was almost fully dilated. She just wanted to get the kids out!
"Elliot, I hate you!" she yelled as she squeezed his hand through the pain.
"I know you do right now. You are doing so well."
"Shut up!"
Elliot just smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Okay Olivia, you are fully dilated. I need you to push on the next one," the doctor said from between her legs.
Olivia nodded and gritted her teeth.
"Push!"
After a few pushes Olivia heard the cries of he first child. The wonderful sound brought tears to her eyes.
"Congratulations! It's a Boy!"
A few minutes later she heard the cries of their daughter.
"Congratulations! It's a Girl!"
Olivia looked at Elliot, his eyes had tears in them. All she saw was love for his two youngest children. She smiled and kissed his hand that was still clasped in hers. He snapped out of his trance and bent down and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"They are so adorable."
The nurse then walked over with one of the bundles of joy. She smiled and laid the little boy on Olivia's lap. Another nurse came up behind her and handed Elliot his youngest daughter.
"Do we have names for the birth certificates?"
Olivia nodded, she pointed at Elliot, "That one is Brittany Evelyn."
"Which way do you want to spell Brittany?"
"B-R-I-T-T-A-N-Y"
"Okay, and her big brother."
Elliot spoke up, "That one is Douglas Rocco."
"Is there a certain spelling of Rocco?"
"R-O-C-C-O"
"Okay. Those are both lovely names," the nurse wrote them down and left the new family alone.

Two Days Later
Olivia was able to take Doug and Brittany home a couple days later. She was excited to get home and wanted to show her children around their new home. Elliot had picked her up from the hospital after going and putting the car seats in the SUV. Once they got to the apartment Elliot got Doug's carrier out of the car and Olivia picked up Brittany. Both babies were sound asleep. After coming into the apartment, Olivia and Elliot put the kids in their cribs and wondered out to the living room. They curled up on the couch together and Olivia rested her head on Elliot's shoulder.
"I am so tired, but I am so glad to be home."
"I am glad you three are home too. Now this place really feels like a home. The family is all here and when my kids get here tomorrow, everyone will be here and we will be one big happy family."
"Big is right. We have six kids to look after now El. Granted Maureen and Kathleen are in college, but still, we have two sets of twins to look after and when the older ones are here, we are going to be packed like sardines."
Elliot smiled, "I know, but kids are wonderful. Especially all six of mine. I am just glad to have you all here and safe."
Olivia glanced at him, "Why wouldn't we be safe?"
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I just want you guys here to be able to look out for you and not worry about the outside world coming in and disrupting our finally complete family."
"Okay, but we will always be safe. Don't worry about a thing."
Elliot leaned in and gave her a deep kiss. They were maneuvering on the couch so he could be on top of her when they heard a cry coming from the nursery. Elliot groaned and gave Olivia one last kiss.
"I got it," he said. He wondered down the hall and into the nursery. "Okay, who was crying and why?" He went to his son's bed and saw him wide eyed and his face was scrunched up. "You hungry Doug? Want to go see mommy?" He looked over a the other crib and saw that Brittany was still sound asleep.
He came out of the nursery and gently gave Doug to Olivia, "I think he is hungry and that is one thing I can't help with yet."
Olivia laughed. She opened her shirt and arranged her bra. She held the baby close and Doug immediately latched on. "I guess you were right. I am just glad they aren't on the same schedule, that would be hard."
"Liv," he whined, "don't jinks it."
Elliot got up to go get a drink when the phone rang.
"Stabler"
"Hey Elliot, did you bring Olivia and the twins home yet?"
"Hey Cap. Yes I did. You can come over anytime you like to see your new grandchildren."
Cragen smiled, "Grandchildren, I like the sound of that. That also means I get to spoil them rotten and you can't say anything because I am grandpa and because I am boss."
Elliot laughed.
"I'll be over in about an hour. I am going to finish up here a little then head that way. Don't be surprised if Fin and Munch end up with me."
"That's fine. See yall then."
"Bye"
"Bye Cap."
Elliot hung up the phone and turned towards Olivia, "Grandpa Cragen will be here soon. He might have Uncle Fin and Uncle Munch with him too."
Olivia smiled, "Grandpa Cragen? He allowed that?"
"Yeah, he wants to be able to spoil them and that is just not in the uncle job description."
Olivia smiled and went back to nursing their son.
