Elliot Stabler sat in the parents' area at the dance studio; it had been 6 months since everything with Wheatley had gone down and he was slowly finding his way back to normal or back to his new normal. He ran his finger over the tattoo on his left ring finger, the O that was permanently on his finger showing the world that he was taken. The afternoon sunlight also caught his newest tattoo on his wrist. It was the infinity symbol made up of Maureen, Kathleen, Richard, Elizabeth, Eli and Noah and then a 2nd tattoo or his grandkid's initials beside the symbol. And right above it was two NYPD badges with 4015 and 6313 on them. The tattoos had been something he had done shortly after everything went Wheatley came to an end. Something to ground him back to reality back to Elliot Stabler

"Did I miss his tryout?" Olivia asked, sliding into the empty chair next to him, the afternoon sunlight hitting her tattoo's the E on her ring finger as well as the two badges with a small tattoo underneath them that said Noah and Eli.

"Not yet he's next." Elliot said, reaching out and intertwining his hand with hers. They spent the next 30 minutes watching as Noah tired out for his summer recital.

Afterwards they stood with the other parents waiting for Noah to come out of the locker room.

"Noah is your son right?" One of the newer dads asked Olivia and Elliot as he walked up to them..

"Yes he is." Elliot said with a large smile, Olivia let him have the moment something she had been trying to do since they decided that Elliot would be Noah's dad, or rather Noah decided it for them.

"He's so talented! And I see where he gets his eyes from" the dad said, leaving them as other kids spilled out of the locker room.

"I think that dad was hitting on me." Elliot said quietly pulling Olivia closer to him who was laughing.

"I think he was to he is right about one thing" she said quietly

"And what's that?"

"Noah has your eyes." Olivia said

"He's adopted "

"Yes he's adopted but I've always thought that since the moment I got him. My first thought was Noah has your eyes. Of course I never thought in a million years you would be his dad but it's like fate knew what it was doing." Olivia said, kissing him as Noah ran up to them.

"Did you see me!" He asked his blue eyes shining

"We did, buddy! You were amazing!" Elliot said, wrapping him in a hug as Olivia looked on, thanking Elliot's god that he had brought him back to them for this moment to happen.
