A/N: I'm on summer break and I'm excited to get back to writing! Here's another one-shot before I get back to work on the multi-chaps. Some morning EO fluff. Olivia and Elliot are now married and this is her first mother's day as a Stabler. Set present day.

She woke up feeling peaceful. The way she had felt every morning since her wedding 2 months ago. The sunlight glistened through the windows and reflected on her diamond wedding ring on her nightstand. Some days she had to pinch herself to remember she wasn't dreaming and this was really her life now. She smiled with her eyes still closed and ran her hand across the bed, but realized the loving and strong arms that were usually wrapped protectively around her every morning and the warm chest that had become her favorite pillow were missing. How late had she slept? Her boys must have gotten up early. Her smile grew wider. Her boys. She had a family. She was a wife, mother, and stepmother and those were her favorite roles in the world. She noticed messages on her phone from her squad that reminded her even more how special her new life was. 'Happy mother's day Lieu Stabler.' Sonny Carisi, the newest member of her squad had always liked to call her Lieu for short. He had started adding Stabler to his greeting because they all loved how happy she seemed now that she and her former work partner were official partners for life.

"Knock knock." She heard her husband's gentle, playful tone she had gotten to know since they became a family.

"I'm awake." Their son Noah came running in the bedroom.

"Mommy!" She laughed as he jumped on the bed and kissed his head.

"Good morning sweet boy." He wraps his arms around her neck.

"Happy mother's day mommy. I made you a card." She giggles at his excitement.

"Well thank you I can't wait to read it."

"Daddy and Eli made you breakfast. We put the cards on the tray." She gasped.

"They did?" She was smiling so big she thought her face would burst.

"The famous Stabler pancakes with bacon and eggs. I'm letting Eli finish and bring them in. Figured he was old enough to make his 'Livia' a mother's day breakfast." Her heart swelled with affection for her husband. The little things he did to make her feel like she had always belonged in the Stabler family made her love him more and more.

"I can't wait." She settled Noah on her lap and stretched her other arm out for Elliot to join them. She leaned her forehead against his when he wrapped his arms around her and Noah and kissed him sweetly.

"I love you." He kissed her again and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"I love you so much more, baby." Before she could reply with her usual 'not possible' her youngest stepson came through the door with a tray of food, flowers, and beautiful handmade cards.

"You guys are gonna make me cry on the pancakes." She sniffled and Elliot leaned in to kiss her tears away.

"Happy mother's day Livia."

"Thank you very much, Eli. This looks delicious." Elliot kissed her temple as Eli settled on their bed in between them.

"The other kids are coming to see you around lunchtime but they dropped their cards off yesterday."

"You guys are the best." Eli wraps his arms around her.

"No, you're the best Livvy!"

"Aww thank you, sweetheart."

"I couldn't agree more." Elliot stated as she finished eating her 'famous Stabler mother's day breakfast.'

"Read your cards now mommy," Noah said and she laughed at his persistence.

"Ok ok."

Dear Liv,

Happy mother's day from your oldest 4! You and dad may only have been married for 2 months, but you've been part of our family since we can remember. We will always miss our mom, but we know we wouldn't have our little brother if it weren't for you. You really stepped in and helped us when mom died and we are forever thankful. You're the best stepmother any kids could have. If dad had married someone else, we'd punch her in the face and make him marry you! We love you very very much.

-Maureen, Kathleen, Elizabeth, and Richard-not Dickie

Olivia laughed through her tears at her oldest son's insistence that he no longer be called by his nickname now that he was a man.

Dear Mama Livvy,

You are my favorite person in the whole wide world! You give the best hugs and have the prettiest smile and you make the best spaghetti and I love you.

Happy mother's day

-Eli

She half laughed and half sobbed at the love she felt herself be showered in. She kissed her youngest stepson on the head before reading the next note.

Dear mommy,

You're the best mommy ever! Happy mother's day, love you

-Noah

"You guys are the sweetest." She sniffled and kissed Noah's head.

To the love and light of my life,

Happy first mother's day as a Stabler, sweetheart. I love you so much more than words can say and seeing you as a mother just makes me fall in love with you even more. You are the most compassionate, selfless, loving, strong, beautiful woman I know and these kids are lucky to have you. Reading their messages to you reminds me that I'm the luckiest man alive myself.

With all my love always,

-your El

"This is the best mother's day ever." Elliot kisses away her tears and all three wrap her into a hug.

She thinks to herself that she has never felt more whole or loved in her entire life than in moments like these. She has never been more at home than when she was with them and her other stepchildren. She loved them more than anything in the world.

Her family

A/N: Just a short and sweet one :) I'll go back to my multi-chaps next!
