9.36 pm

"Mom! Mom!" Melissa's frantic yells and Lili and Lexi's cries woke Olivia.

She groaned.

"Oh my God Mom!" Melly called leaning in between the passenger and driver seat.

"Lex Lil?" Olivia asked groggily.

"They're fine only you and George are hurt." Melly replied. "Lil and Lex are just scared."

"Mel I need you to lean over George and get into the glove compartment pass me the radio." Olivia explained, she didn't want to worry Melissa but there was a lot more wrong than she was letting on.

"Ok." Melly replied quickly doing as she was told seeing that George was slowly coming around.

"Mel how long was I out for?" Olivia asked as Melissa handed her the radio.

"Less than two minutes, George is coming around." Melissa explained.

"This is SVU portable to central, this is Captain Olivia Cragen we've been in an auto on auto collision on the corner of … Ahhh…"

"Mom!" Melissa yelled hearing her mother scream in pain.

"Ahh … on the corner of West 86th and Columbus we need buses and fire." Olivia explained into the radio.

"Central to Portable we have dispatch any detail on injury?" A voice echoed through the radio.

"We have four passengers and a driver, three children who seem to be uninjured, I don't know about the male passenger but … but my water's broke and my legs are trapped." Olivia was trying to stay as calm as she could.

"Copy that Captain buses are on the way." Olivia passed the radio over to Melissa.

"Try calm Lexi and Lili Mel." Olivia told her.

"Liv?" George groaned from his seat.

"George?" Olivia asked just as a pain shot from her abdomen making her groan loudly.

"Liv have you gone into labour?" George asked unbuckling his seat belt.

"Yeah but I'm trapped." She groaned.

"Ok, Mel I need you to find out if you can get out of the car for me sweetie." George told her. "Try both doors."

"Ok." Melissa went for the door on George's side and it opened straight away.

"Keep an eye for car's take this and seal us off so no cars come from behind or in front of us." George passed her the crime scene tape he remembered Olivia had in the glove compartment, he'd laughed when she told him it was for emergencies but now he realised nothing could have been more right.

Melissa took the tape and climbed out of the car while George leaned over Olivia and checked her blood pressure. She had a nice big bump and cut on her head but he was mostly worried about the obvious blood between her legs.

"The ambulance is coming Liv." He whispered to her as she grimaced.

"I know!" She spat through gritted teeth. "It's too early George." She hiccupped a sob.

"I know but not by much Liv with technology these days baby's going to be fine I promise." He soothed softly just as ambulance and fire service pulled up.

Olivia was terrified but tried not to panic as firemen began pulling Alexandra and Liliana out of the car so that they could get in.

"Captain Cragen other than the obvious are you in any other pain?" A fireman asked as soon as he was sat behind her.

"Ahhh!" She yelled as she shook her head almost violently.

"Ok that's good and you sir?" He asked George.

"No I'm fine." George replied quickly as he held Olivia's hand.

"Ok sir you're going to need to get out." The fireman told George.

"I'm Doctor George Huang and I'm not moving." George told him firmly, he was a doctor, he'd been through med school just like everyone else except he'd chosen to go into the field of psychiatry.

"Ok, we need to get fluids into her can you do it from there?" The fireman asked as supplies were passed in.

"Yeah." George replied.

Outside the car they were preparing to get Olivia out, the tires were deflated and both airbags were being disabled as neither one de-activated upon impact.

"Ahhh!" Olivia screamed again as another contraction ripped through her body. "It's to early George!" She sobbed.

"I know sweetie." He told her as he started to hook her up to some IV fluids.

"How far apart are the contractions?" The fireman asked.

"Four minutes." George replied without taking his focus away from Olivia who was drifting in and out of consciousness.

"Ok we're ready to go here!" Someone shouted from outside the car.

"Right, Captain we're going to be getting you out of here soon, just hold on, you'll probably feel a surge of pain from your lower legs when we take the pressure off ok?" The fireman explained.

"Ahh ok!" She yelled as she clutched onto her stomach with one hand while she held George's hand with the other.

Casey who had left the precinct five minutes after Olivia had received a phone call from Alex about the accident. As she approached the sight she was met by a uniform officer.

"ADA Casey Novak Sex Crimes, I have instructions from Sergeant Stabler and Commissioner Rockwell, the road from here to Mercy needs to be shut off and the ambulance is to be given a police escort to the hospital." She explained. "Now where are Captain Cragen's kids?"

"They're in the fire engine Ma'am where is Sergeant Stabler?" He asked.

"He's intoxicated and there's been another accident by the precinct so I couldn't turn back to get him." She explained as the officer lead her to the kids.

"Aunt Casey!" Melissa called rushing over and wrapping her hands around her aunt.

"You ok did you get hurt?" Casey asked cupping Melissa's face in her hands.

"No just cuts and bruises, Lex and Lil are ok too but Mom's really hurt her legs are stuck and Uncle George was unconscious." Melissa explained as Casey checked the two now calmer five year olds over.

"Ok your Dad is going to hopefully meet us at the hospital, I want you to take Lex and Lil and get them in my car." Casey explained handing the teenager her car keys. "Strap them in and don't move ok as soon as I know your Mom is going to the hospital I'll take you."

"What about Nanny Sue?" Melissa asked as Casey lowered the kids from the fire engine.

"I'll call her and have her meet us at the hospital with your sisters." Casey replied taking her phone out of her pocket.

Back at the car Olivia's legs had finally been set free and they were now getting ready to remove the roof which was no easy feat in such a large car.

"It's going to be loud Captain but don't panic ok?" The fireman told her.

"Ok." She nodded. "Ooooh! I need to push!"

"Don't not yet sweetie ok?" George told her panicking now that if they didn't get the roof out soon they were going to have a serious problem, the baby wouldn't hold off much longer, the contractions were two and a half minutes apart now.

Casey had just got off the phone with Nanny Sue when Elliot rang her.

"Novak."

What's happening? Elliot's voice was filled with panic.

"Ok Elliot stay calm, the kids are fine, George is ok too probably a concussion and Olivia's ok apart from the fact she's gone into labour no other serious injuries from what they can make out, they're taking the roof off right now and she'll be out in ten minutes." Casey explained.

I'm not going to make it there Casey I'm going to meet you at the hospital just … just make sure she knows I love her.

"Of course El we'll see you all at the hospital, take care we don't need another accident."

After she returned her phone to her pocket she went back over to the car where Melissa was soothing her sisters who were hiccupping sobs at watching the roof being taken from the car which was extremely loud too.

"Miss Novak!" The uniformed officer she'd spoken to earlier came rushing over.

"What is it?" She asked desperate for some good news.

"I've been told to give you a police escort to the hospital now, the road's been closed off but they want the girls checked over before the Captain arrives." He explained.

"Ok let's go. Mel get in the car." Casey told her and Melissa didn't argue.

Inside the car they were now ready to pull Olivia out.

"This baby isn't waiting!" She screamed as another contraction ripped through her.

"Get her into the back seat we can deliver there." The fireman told George.

"We need more hands to move her." George replied.

"Ok we' need to move now!" The fireman said as Olivia screamed again, the contractions now less than a minute apart.

"Can we get her to the ambulance?" An EMT asked.

"Liv?" George replied.

"It's coming!" She yelled trying to supress the urge to push which was getting harder by the second.

"Get her onto the spinal board and gurney but this baby is going to be delivered here." George informed them.

"I'll get the supplies." One EMT replied as the others started lifting Olivia onto the spinal board and strapped her on.

They then moved her onto the gurney beside the car and unstrapped her so she could sit upright.

"Ahhh!" Olivia screamed.

"Push Liv!" George yelled knowing the more they waited the more distressed the baby was getting.

"Fuck!" She screamed as she clutched onto her knee caps feeling happy that she's warn a dress to the party so George only had to pull off the tiny thong panty she'd worn with it.

"Ok I can see the crown Liv." George told her.

"Ahhh!" She screamed again as she pushed, this was horrible.

The EMT's supporting her back looked worried at George but he looked quite calm and collected considering he had a concussion and was about to deliver his best friend's baby in the middle of the street.

"Get ready Liv deep breath …. And push."

"Fuuuuuuck!" She screamed as she pushed with everything she had.

"Ok shoulder's next Liv we're nearly there." He told her as she panted.

"I want my Dad." She hiccupped as she braced herself for the next contraction.

"I know Liv, ok get ready and … Push."

"Ahhh!" She screamed again.

"Good Liv one more and he'll be here." George told her softly as the EMT's prepared to cut the cord and hurry them to the ambulance which because of the crime scene tape hadn't gotten close enough for them to get her to it before delivering the baby.

"Ahhhhh!" She screamed pushing for longer and harder than she had been before.

"Ok cut the cord."

As soon as the cord was cut they were all rushing to the ambulance George was holding to the baby as the EMT's strapped and moved Olivia at the same time. George wrapped the baby in a silver blanket to keep him warm and clutched him tight into his chest as Olivia slowly drifted out of consciousness.

"Go!" The EMT called to the driver as soon as the door was closed and with light's flashing and siren blearing they moved.

"George?" Olivia asked as she came round.

"Right here."

"My baby?" She asked as she heard the new-born's scream.

"Yeah Liv, here." He placed the baby on her chest as she began to sob, overcome with a mixture of emotions.

"Oh my God." She cried. "Hi baby, I'm your Mommy." She cried. "Thank you George." She told him as he finally sat down beside her.

"Anytime Liv." He smiled as she laughed awkwardly.

10.49 pm

Elliot was stood in the ambulance bay and he took a nervous heavy breath as the police escort pulled up with the ambulance behind it. The kids were fine and were now in the waiting room after being checked over but he had no idea on the state of Olivia.

He rushed around the back of the ambulance as the doors opened.

"Liv!" He yelled.

"El!" She called back as the EMT's pulled the gurney out, George now holding the baby again.

"Oh my God Liv." He sobbed as he took her hand.

"Our boy El." She cried.

George handed him the baby.

"Thank you." Elliot told him before hurrying in after Olivia George close behind.

"Sir you need to be checked over." An EMT told him as the team took Olivia.

"I'm…"

"No you're not the little lady told us you were unconscious for a period of time and the only reason I didn't stop you delivering that baby is because I thought the Captain was more relaxed having you there." He explained. "Now go and get checked over then you can go back to your friends."

11.26 pm

Once both Olivia and baby were checked over she was able to cuddle up in bed with her very healthy new born son. The fact he was nine months early had no effect on him and they suspected had he gone to full term he would have been a big baby or the due date was off by a few weeks which was a common occurrence.

Elliot walked into the waiting room where all their family and friends were waiting.

"Mommy and Baby are both fine and healthy." Elliot smiled and a combined sigh of relief echoed around the room.

"So come on Stabler what's your boy like?" Munch asked grabbing his shoulder.

"Oh he's … he's perfect guys, he's four pounds nine so a little on the small side but … he's so beautiful." Elliot explained, he was completely overwhelmed by the events that had occurred.

"Can we see them?" Casey asked.

"Not tonight, but Olivia wants to see the kids and George and she sends her apologies but will see the rest of you tomorrow, she's tired now." Elliot explained.

"Of course send her our love El." Alex smiled as she bounced Zach on her lap.

Elliot led the kids and George to Olivia's room where she was sat jiggling the baby.

The kids were thrilled and quickly gathered around the bed to see their baby brother.

"Mom what's his name then?" Melissa asked as she bounced Ali on her hip.

"You tell them." Olivia smiled.

"Kids meet your new brother, George Donald Columbus Cragen-Stabler." Elliot smiled.

George grinned, he couldn't believe that Elliot and Olivia were naming their kid after him.

"You saved both our lives George, couldn't be prouder to name my son after you." Olivia smiled.

"Why Columbus?" Nicole asked.

"Well where Mommy had the crash, one of the streets was called Columbus Avenue so we named him after the place he was born." Olivia smiled.

"Ohh and Donald after Grandpa." Nicole smiled.

"Yeah baby." Olivia replied wiping a tear from her eye.

"You know Liv, he's watching down on you and he's so proud of you and Georgie." Elliot told her softly.

"I know El, he was there, it was almost like I could feel him with me when George came." She smiled.

Haha and you all thought I'd named him ages ago! Next chapter is a big jump because I can't be bothered with writing the fluff, don't know how much of this story there is going to be left but if you want a lot more you have to let me know!
