Aww its fluff time! Haha! Thanks for all your reviews and alerts I appreciate it so much! I'm working on a shorter story too that has some E/O but its an actual investigation too so keep an eye for it! And here it is chapter 9! I do hope you enjoy because there's not much fluff going to be after this just a lot of tears!
When they arrived at the hospital both Mother and Baby were checked out and given the all clear. Olivia was now sat in bed holding her son and beside her was her husband.
"Hey." Cragen smiled poking his head around the door. "You have visitors if you're up for it." He said and Elliot looked at his wife who nodded happily. In walked Casey, Melinda, Huang, Munch and Fin.
"Hi guys." Olivia smiled breaking her gaze from her son to her friends.
"How are you holding up?" Melinda asked.
"I'm great, thank you Mel and you George for bringing baby Stabler into this world. I could never thank you enough." Olivia smiled.
"No problem." Melinda smiled back.
"Ok so for how long are we going to have to call him Baby Stabler?" Fin chirped.
"Yeah have you not thought of a name yet?" Cragen asked looking at his detectives. Elliot smiled and turned to Olivia.
"Well Cap' we wanted to ask you if you would mind us naming him Craig, after you." Olivia said knowing that he wouldn't say no.
"Of course I wouldn't mind, I mean I would be totally honoured." He gasped in surprise, he had not expected this.
"And Mel ..." Olivia said turning to her friend.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"We wanted to know if you minded him having Warren as a middle name after you as it is similar to Warner." Olivia smiled and Melinda just managed to nod as the tears slipped down her face.
"Well then gang meet Craig Warren Stabler." Elliot said proudly.
"Did anyone call Elliot's kids?" Olivia asked looking around her friends.
"Yeah I did." Fin said. "They're all on their way." Just as Fin finished his sentence the Stabler clan arrived.
"Look it's our brother!" Lizzie smiled rushing over to Olivia's side. Everyone moved out of the way so they could meet their new sibling.
"And it's definitely a boy?" Richard smiled turning to look at his father.
"Yes Dickie he is definitely a boy." Elliot smiled at his son and ruffled his hair.
"So can we know the name of the newest Stabler?" Kathy asked as she kissed Olivia on the cheek.
"Craig Warren Stabler." Olivia smiled. "We named him after Cragen and Warner." She added proudly.
"Aww that's so adorable, hello Craig." Maureen smiled stroking her brother's cheek. "Nice to meet you and welcome to the family." She added proudly.
"There are way too many people around this bed." A nurse said coming to check on Olivia.
"We should go and leave the family alone." Cragen said.
"Hey you all are my family, sorry nurse but I have a very large family." She smiled looking at all her friends. It was almost the truth, before her marriage they were the only family she had ever had.
"Ok ten more minutes then they have to go. Mommy and baby need their rest." The nurse smiled before leaving them all in peace.
"Has anyone contacted Simon?" Olivia asked knowing her daughter and brother would want to meet Craig too.
"I did." Munch said stepping forward. "He said that Serena was fast asleep and wouldn't leave the house without your say so."
"Can someone go and get them in the morning, call him and tell him that someone will collect him its best if Serena sleeps all night but call him or he'll worry." Olivia smiled as she knew her brother was just following her orders by not rushing to the hospital.
"I'll do that now." Munch said before rushing out of the door.
"Well Dad, Ma' I think we should all head off to. Would any of you mind if we crashed in your place tonight?" Richard asked looking at his father and step mom.
"Not at all, as usual your bedrooms are clean and tidy and beds are made." Olivia smiled.
"Thanks." Richard smiled before leaning in to kiss Olivia and Craig. "Congratulations Ma' he's a very beautiful little Stabler." He said as the proud big brother. In turn each of the kids kissed Olivia and their father and said their goodbyes before heading off leaving the detectives.
"So does anyone want to hold him before he screams for his next feed?" Olivia asked as she knew all of them were eager to. Cragen was the first to step forward and proudly took the person who'd call him grandpa into his arms.
"Hello Craig." He smiled and spoke in a whisper that Olivia hadn't heard since Serena had been a baby. "I'm your grandpa." He said leaning in and kissing Craig on his head. He then passed the baby to Melinda so that she could make her introductions.
"One day when you're a lot older I can tell you all about the day you were born. I will never forget that it was fifteen minutes after midnight on the thirteenth of January and that you weighed exactly five pounds." She smiled before handing him to Casey.
"Well little man welcome to a very messed up world but don't worry, with all your aunties and uncles and siblings you are going to be very loved." She smiled and then it was Fin's turn who hated getting emotional and just as he did when he first held Serena he turned his back on everyone but they could still hear him.
"When you're big and strong I'm going to teach you how to kick some ass but until then you come tell uncle Fin and he'll do all the ass kicking you need Stabler." He whispered and then passed him to Munch who had just returned from calling Simon.
"Hello little man. I'm your uncle Munch and I am going to drive you completely mad just like I do your father." He joked before handing the boy over to Huang.
"Hello Craig. Welcome to the world. I'm your uncle George" Huang smiled before giving Craig back to his father.
"What did Simon say Munch?" Olivia asked wanting to make sure everything there was Ok.
"He says congratulations and he'll see you first thing." Munch smiled and Olivia nodded and felt much more relaxed now that she knew what was going on. She laid her head on the pillow and within seconds drifted off to sleep.
"We'll see you tomorrow." Cragen whispered nodding his head towards Elliot. Everyone said their goodbye's quietly so not to wake Olivia and then slipped out of the door.
Elliot sat in the arm chair and looked at his son.
"Well Craig, you've now met most of your family and already they love you and will care for you. You know you have the best family a boy could ever dream of. Of course your mother is the best ..." Elliot spoke softly and didn't see Olivia watching him. "She's one of a kind mate, she's beautiful, smart and funny and can seriously kick some perp ass too so you're a very lucky little boy to have been born to her. I love your Mommy very much and I love you too baby Stabler, I love you very much too." Elliot smiled. Olivia wiped the tear from her cheek causing Elliot to look at her.
"I love you too." She smiled looking at her husband.
"I know." He nodded and slowly he watched as she shut her eyes and succumb to sleep.
So what do you think? Like the name? I had so much trying to figure a way of naming the baby after Cragen without calling it Don. Haha! So keep Reviewing and more reviews = more chance I'll update quick!
