She gaped at him. She couldn't believe what she just heard. He sat up and reached into the night stand drawer. He pulled out a box with a beautiful, but simple ring inside. It was sterling silver with two circle cut diamonds set in it, side by side. She gasped as she found out that he was absolutely serious about what he had asked.

"It's not much, but I think it's you."

"I…I…El, it's beautiful."

"Just like you. I know it seems sudden and a little fast, but I love you so much that I can barely breathe sometimes. When you and Munchkin were in the hospital I thought the worst and if you guys had gone, I would've gone too. You are my life and the other half of my soul. Olivia Serena Benson, will you marry?"

Tears shined in her eyes as she looked at him, barely able to speak. She was overcome with love and happiness.

"Y…Yes, Elliot Nathan Stabler, I will marry you!"

He slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her deeply. She kissed him back, happiness radiating from her. They slipped into engagement bliss.

Two weeks later, Olivia and Elliot were called into the precinct for a meeting with the captain and IA. They walked into the precinct, well, Olivia waddled, and the guys jumped up to greet them.

"Hey, there she is! How you doing, Baby Girl?" Fin asked.

"I'm good. I'm so ready to meet her," she replied.

"It's not going to be long now, huh?" Munch said.

"Nope. Thank God."

"It's not that bad," Elliot said with a laugh.

"You try being pregnant. The constant heartburn and having a little person inside using your organs for kickball practice."

"Oh boy, I've heard that before," Elliot said. The guys laughed with them.

Just then, Munchkin kicked and Olivia moved her hand over her bump to rub the spot she kicked, exposing her ring. The guys' eyes widened and their faces both broke into huge grins.

"You finally did it huh?" Fin asked indicating her hand on her bump. Elliot looked over and smiled lovingly at her.

"I did. We're planning on having the wedding as soon as possible so be ready."

"Yeah, it's going to be small, just our family is going to be there."

"So, the entire precinct?" Munch joked.

"Nah, you guys, Casey, Alex, Dad, El's kids, that's all."

"That's more than enough!" Munch said. They all laughed.

"So, what brings you to the slums?" Fin asked.

Olivia looked at Elliot. She sighed and rubbed her belly again.

"Tucker called us in for the results of the investigation," Elliot replied.

"That rat needs to be snapped up," Fin said, "It ain't like everyone don't know how much you love each other and that shooting was a good one. You should be clear."

"Yeah, we all know that, but you know that Tucker wants to bring down SVU any way possible. I just hope he isn't going to separate us."

Cragen opened the door to his office.

"It's time," he said.

"Good luck," the guys said and they smiled at them. They needed all the luck they could get.

Walking into the office, they noticed Tucker leaning against the wall and both parties glared at each other. Elliot helped Olivia sit down as Cragen shut the door and took his place behind his desk.

Elliot sat down and resisted the urge to grasp Olivia's hand as they awaited the news that Tucker was fixing to deal out.

"As you both know, I've been investigating Detective Stabler in the death of Herman Skylark, and I want you to know that you're cleared Detective," Tucker started, "In the throes of my investigation, your relationship with Detective Benson came to light and I'm going to tell you that as long as you stay professional in your place of work, you may stay in the same squad, but you cannot be partners. Is that a problem?"

"No," they said simultaneously.

"Good. My work here is done," Tucker said and walked out.

Elliot and Olivia looked at one another and grinned and then back to Cragen who smirked.

"Well, now that that is settled, I see that you've finally asked her, Elliot," he said.

Elliot looked at Cragen, suddenly feeling like the teenage boyfriend being asked his intentions before taking his girlfriend to prom. Cragen saw the look on his face and chuckled.

"Relax," he said, "Just know that if you hurt her, it's not me you'll have to worry about."

Elliot laughed.

"Yeah, but I have no intentions of hurting her ever. I love her too much."

"Good, now get outta here. Go relax some before my granddaughter makes her appearance," he said.

"Thank you," Olivia said. Elliot helped her out of the chair and he opened the door for her. "Give me a minute. I wanna talk to him about something."

Elliot nodded and went to tell the guys the good news, shutting the door behind him. Olivia turned to Cragen and he smiled at her.

"The answer is yes," he said. She looked at him, confused.

"I hadn't asked a question."

"I know that, but I know what's going to be asked and yes, I would be honored to walk you down the aisle."

She smiled a watery smile and walked over to hug him.

"Thank you."

"Anytime. Now, home to relax. Tell that fiancé of yours to cater to your every whim."

She chuckled.

"Oh, I have no problems about that."

He laughed and she left his office.

"I'm glad that's over," she said to the guys as she walked to them.

"Me too," Fin said.

"I wonder how we're going to be partnered now," Munch said.

"I don't know, but that's a worry for another day. I wanna have my daughter first," Olivia said.

The guys grinned.

"Let us know when to be ready for the wedding," Fin said, "Oh, and before I forget, Stabler, you hurt Baby Girl…"

"…My body will never be found," Elliot finished, "Believe me, I've been warned."

They all laughed and said their goodbyes as Elliot and Olivia headed home.

AN: Yes, I know it's been forever since an update and I'm completely and utterly sorry for that. Raising two kids that aren't mine has taken up a lot of my time. I finally am getting into a rhythm to separate time for everything I want to do. I hope you guys are still reading. Thanks!
