Chapter 28-A New Leader
Elliot walked into the squad room of the Special Victims Unit with a spring in his step. Olivia got up from her desk and walked towards him. He rushed her and picked her up, twirled her around and pressed a kiss on her lips.
"What's up with you?" She said with a smile.
"One, can't I just be happy to see my wife and the mother of my children?" He got up on top of their joined desks. "Two, I have an announcement to make." The whole room became quiet. "As of today the Chief of the New York Police Department has given me the position of the Captain of the Special Victims Unit."
The whole room cheered and arose in an uproar.
"Oh Captain," John and Fin mockingly bowed to him as he jumped down.
"I'm Mrs. Captain Elliot Stabler. I like it," she said kissing him tenderly. "I am so happy for you baby. I love you."
"Thank you," he kissed her again. "I love you too."

"Briscoe, Olivia, my office!" Elliot barked out.
"What's up?" Olivia asked him with a smile.
"They located the pedophile in upstate New York. The Albany police is holding him on charges of drug possession but they can't hold him long on that. So they said you can come pick him up and bring him down here," Elliot looked at Briscoe.
Briscoe nodded and walked out.
"Is everything ok baby?" Olivia walked around his desk and rubbed his neck.
"I wish I could go with you," he said rubbing his eyes.
"I know honey. I'll see you later," she said kissing his cheek and walking out.
Elliot sat at his desk and looked around his office. Some of Don's things were still in there. His awards, books, and some pictures were still on his desk. He didn't mind though. He didn't have any big awards to display or books he wanted lying around and he loved all of the pictures that he had. He didn't mind looking at pictures of Don, him, his wife, and his kids. He smiled and laughed at a photo that Don had took of Olivia stuffing cake in Elliot's face at their wedding.
Don walked in and smiled at Elliot. Elliot looked up at him and smiled. "I'll just get my things and I'll be out of your way, Captain."
"No, please," Elliot motioned for him to sit.
"How is it going?"
"Everything is going so fast. I went from a small desk, Detective, with no real clue of moving up and then this," Elliot gave him a shocked and awed look.
"You deserve this Elliot," Don said reassuringly. "I am just getting those awards off the wall. One day you will have ones just like them up there with your name on them." Don got up and began stripping the walls. "You are now the leader of this unit. Lead them well, my successor and my son-in-law." Don smiled and walked out with his box of medals.
