December

Two weeks after Thanksgiving, Olivia and Alex went to see about the gender of their baby. Their twins were with them, sleeping in their stroller

Olivia giggled nervously as the cold gel covered her stomach.

Alex kissed her hand. "Ready to see our baby?"

"Oh yeah."

The ultrasound technician focused on the image until he could see, "Congratulations. You're having a baby boy."

Alex knew Olivia had been hoping for a girl. She kissed her wife on the cheek and stroked her hand.

The detective had been nervous about passing on her father's genes; she had thought a girl would be easier, but she was happy that they were having another son. "I think this is a good thing. If we had another daughter than Ollie would be trapped with four girls."

Alex kissed her nose.

When they got home, Alex and Olivia decided to tell the twins.

"You're going to have a brother," Olivia told them.

"Brudda!"

Alex pointed. "He's right here."

Both Lorelei and Ollie started rubbing Mommy's tummy.

"Brudda!"

Olivia was about to cry. "I'm so happy." Her family was so full of love that it was overwhelming.

Alex always had a handkerchief on hand for her wife.

Instead of having another tell party, they decided to send cupcakes to their friends with blue filling, leaving them to figure it out. The grandparents had already been called.

Munch was the first one to get it, mainly because he was the first to bite into his cupcake. "They're having a boy!"

Fin thought Munch lost his mind before he saw the blue inside his cupcake. "I should have known these were special cupcakes."

Dani was just happy to have a free cupcake. She looked over to Elliot who was clearly less excited about his cupcake now. She smirked internally. It wasn't hard for him to determine that Elliot had a soft spot for Olivia and a sore spot for Alex. She wondered if she could use this to her advantage.

When Casey got her cupcake, she attacked it ravenously. She had skipped breakfast, and ate it so quickly that she almost missed the blue middle.

She went to Alex's office.

"Enjoy your cupcake?" Alex could see the frosting on her face.

"You're having another boy."

"We are."

"Is that what you wanted?"

"I want a healthy baby that looks like Liv. Gender doesn't matter to me."

"If he looks like Liv, he'll be a heartbreaker for sure."

Before Casey could say more, Alex's phone rang.

"I'll get out of your hair," Casey headed back to her office.

It was Trevor.

"I hear a congratulations is in order." He had just finished his cupcake.

"Thank you. How's Elsa?"

Busy, tired, "She's good. The clinic has been quite busy because of flu season." There was this gnarly fall flu going around.

Alex had gotten the vaccine. Olivia couldn't because she was pregnant.

"You miss her," it was given as a statement and not a question. Alex knew what it was like to have a wife out saving the world.

"Yeah, I do."

With Trevor's hours, he could hardly complain about Elsa being busy. He had been working night and day at the firm and in his home office, trying to get ahold of what had been going on in his absence. The hours logged seemed to dwarf the work produced. Their acquittal rate had gone down, even after he factored himself out of the equation.

Something was wrong here, but he couldn't figure out what all it was.

At lunch, Fin and Munch came to see their favorite detective. Olivia had been at her computer with a lunch that Alex had packed for her: broiled chicken on an arugula salad and a biscuit.

"Congratulations Baby Girl," Fin said to Liv with a hug and a kiss on her forehead.

"How's Jonathan Cabot doing?" Munch teased.

Olivia rolled her eyes. "Satchmo is fine."

Of course Fin and Munch had their own name ideas from Michaelangelo to Quinton.

Olivia smiled, as she said, "no way on Earth."

"I'm sure he'll be a looker," Fin told her. "He has two beautiful mamas."

"But he's only related to one," Munch pointed out.

"Actually, he's related to Alex too." She explained how they had acquired Trey's sperm.

Neither Fin nor Munch thought anything of it.

"No matter who he takes after, he'll be lucky."

"Alex wants him to look like me."

"Can you blame her?" Munch questioned.

She playfully flipped her hair. "I guess not."

"Show off," Fin teased.

Elliot and Dani grabbed lunch while Fin and Munch were visiting Olivia.

She asked him how did he and Kathy find time to themselves with four kids.

"It's hard, but Maureen babysits them sometimes, and the twins are old enough to go over to friends' houses. It's not like we have babies running around."

"Olivia and Alex must not mind. How many do you think they'll have?"

Elliot rolled his eyes. "Olivia said they wanted four."

"You have four kids. Is four a special number?"

He shrugged. "We didn't have a plan. We just got lucky sometimes."

"I'm sure the baby will be beautiful, but it is a shame, two boys and they won't have a father to show them the way."

"I don't see why Olivia couldn't have found a husband. She's dated men before. I thought she was straight before Alex."

"Maybe all the good men were taken," Dani teased with an eyebrow raise. "By the time she met you, it was already too late."

"Olivia and I are just friends."

"I never said otherwise. I'm just saying that the order of things matter. If you met her before Kathy, maybe this whole scenario would be different. I know if I had met you before my husband..."

She winked instead of finishing her sentence.

Elliot nodded in her direction. It felt good to have a woman flirt with him.

When Olivia got home, Lorelei ran right to her. "Mommy!"

"Lorelei!" She welcomed her baby girl with open arms.

Olivia would always melt when she saw her baby girl. She had her mama's eyes and that smile.

The twins had been in the kitchen with their Mama while she cooked dinner.

Ollie came out after Lorelei. He had flour in his hair.

"Why are you dirty?" Olivia asked with a laugh.

"Mommy!"

He got his hug and kiss too before Alex appeared. "The twins were helping me make pasta for tomorrow's dinner."

"Already starting on tomorrow's dinner?" Alex was so fucking organized

"Tonight's dinner is pretty quick to make, so I decided to start prepping tomorrow's now."

Olivia kissed her wife.

They had to juggle the twins both trying to get between them.

"Mommy!"

"Mama!"

"I think they want our attention."

"How about we play outside?"

Olivia got the twins' coats and hats on them and took them out in the yard to play with their ball, leaving Alex to the kitchen.

Olivia rolled the ball and the twins took off after it. Lorelei was quick to bring the ball back to Mommy where as Ollie would take the ball and just keep running.

They could only stay out for about 20 minutes because of the cold weather, and when they came inside, Alex had hot chocolate ready for them.

"You know just how to spoil me," Olivia grinned as Alex handed her a mug.

They started kissing to the irritation of their children.

"Mommy!"

"Mama!"

They didn't get why their parents were always kissing.

Alex and Olivia broke from each other just to give their twins kisses on their forehead.

The Stablers were eating dinner. Kathy told the children "Olivia and Alex are having a boy." She had gotten a cupcake today as well.

Lizzie already knew. She and Casey had talked on the phone after she got out of school and Casey had mentioned it then.

Dickie was excited. "I'm always surrounded by girls," he fussed.

The women in his family all glared at him.

"Not that there's anything wrong with that," he backtracked.

"You're just jealous you don't have a brother," Lizzie teased.

"Slightly."

"You're not missing out."

"Lizzie," Elliot warned.

"I bet the baby's going to be so cute." Kathleen cooed. "Olivia's really pretty."

"I'm always ready to babysit," Maureen pointed out.

"They'll probably pay you more now," Kathleen told her. She wished she had that gig.

"They should keep having kids," Maureen said with a grin.

Her father glared at her.

"What? They're the best paying parents I know." Maureen almost had enough for the car she wanted.

After dinner, Kathy called Alex to congratulate them.

"Are you two having another baby shower?"

"No. We have enough stuff from when we had the twins." The only thing they needed was a new crib. Satchmo would be born before Ollie and Lorelei were ready to move into beds.

"If there's anything I can do to help …"

The women made small talk for a few more minutes before Alex got off the phone.

"Bye Kathy."

Olivia peered over her shoulder. "Kathy called about the baby?"

"She says congratulations."

Olivia kissed her head.

Alex pulled her wife onto her lap. "I think the cupcakes were a hit."

Between the two of them, they've heard from everyone except for Elliot.

"I thought I least warranted a text message," Olivia told her wife.

Alex kissed her hand. "You deserve so much more than that. If he can't be happy for us, that's his loss."

"I know." It was still hard to accept, but she knew.

"There are so many people who love us and our children and are happy for us. No reason to let one rotten tomato ruin the bunch."

"Isn't it rotten apple?"

"Tomatoes go bad way faster."

Olivia laughed at her wife before she jumped in surprise.

"Are you hurt?"

"He kicked."

Alex put her hand on her wife's baby bump. "He's saying hi."

The next day, Ollie and Lorelei got to feel their brother say hello to them.

They laughed raucously as they felt the strange pulsing from their brother's kicks.

Alex found the sight so adorable that she captured it on video.

Olivia scowled when she looked at the camera. "I don't want my hugeness documented!" Her hormones were giving Alex a run for her money.

"I was twice as huge when I was pregnant."

"You were still gorgeous. I'm just fat."

"How does that work?" Now the camera was off and Alex put the twins in their playpen.

"Everything about you is gorgeous from your hair to your toes. What I had going for me was my muscles and now they're covered in fat." She knew it was the short hair, leather jacket, muscles, and cocky swagger that had attracted Alex. Now, all of that was gone except for the jacket.

Alex kissed her lips. "You have no idea how gorgeous you are. Everything about you excites me from the way you pout when something isn't going your way to how you soften when people need you to care about them. I won't deny that your rugged look initially drew my eye, but I like your femininity as well. You have beautiful curves and they're even more accentuated now. You're so sexy that I have to refrain from drooling.

Alex kissed her wife's cheeks and sucked on the pulse point of her neck. "I want to show you how beautiful you are."

"Have me."

They made their way up the bedroom. The wall in front of their bed was covered in mirrors. Alex dimmed the lights but she didn't take them off.

"I'm going to slowly undress you," Alex said as she started to unbutton her wife's shirt. "Then I'm going to make love to you. I want you to watch everything I do."

Olivia panted as nimble hands took her shirt off. "OOOHHHH!" she moaned as she felt Alex cup her breasts through her bra and rub them.

The Chief did take her time, touching her wife between each article of clothing she removed. Once she was finally naked, Alex sat behind her and started kissing her neck as she touched Olivia all over her bare skin.

Marks of love cover Olivia's collar bone, and Olivia was on the edge of an orgasm just from the tender way Alex had treated her breasts.

Alex slipped two fingers into her wife's sopping heat. Once she curled them, Olivia was done for.

"ALEX!" the name tore out of Olivia's throat as she shook and spasmed in a rapturous bliss.

"I'm just getting started Baby."

Alex strapped on an electric blue phallus. She liked the bright colored ones and she preferred her toys look less realistic. She wanted them to stand out and call attention to themselves. This toy was twisty and looked like an anime tentacle end more than a penis.

She slowly plunged into her wife.

"FUCK!"

Alex held onto her hips and even though Olivia was on top, Alex controlled the pace.

"Don't close your eyes!" Alex bit her shoulder, encouraging her lover to watch as Alex ravished her body. Her hands massaged Olivia's breasts as the woman moaned and begged for another release.

Alex had her own pleasure from the phallus rubbing back against her clit, but she was too focused on Olivia's to pay much attention. "You're so sexy," Alex told her as she thrusted. "I could cum just looking at you."

Olivia knew in her heart that Alex meant ever word. Even if it made no sense, pregnant Olivia turned Alex on immensely. The detective started to raise and lower her hips, moving with Alex until another orgasm ripped through her.

"OH JESUS MOTHER MARY FUCK!"

Alex knew she could get one more and began to gently massage Olivia's distended clitoris until her wife shrieked one more time and came. Hearing her was enough to send Alex over the edge.

"How about I draw you a nice hot bath to soak in while I get the twins?"

"That sounds perfect."

"I love you," Alex kissed her behind her ear.

"I love you, Lex."

Two Days Before Christmas

Elliot and Dani were trying to close their case before Christmas Eve. They had been in a car, waiting for their perp to violate his parole so they could collar him and bring him into the precinct. He had an ankle tracking monitor on him, but they didn't think he wore it all the time. All they needed was to catch him without it once and they were set.

"Excited for Christmas," Dani asked casually as she looked at her book.

"It's nice to have the family together."

"I was an only child," Dani told him. "I never had a boisterous Christmas."

"It's better with all the kids," Elliot said. "I wouldn't want a quiet Christmas."

"Who says it's quiet? I know how to make plenty of noise." She winked at him.

"I'm sure you do."

If it wasn't for the way his lips curled up when she made suggestive comments, she would think he was rebuffing her advances. He has been married a long time, and he seems to have been faithful. She knew she would need to invest a lot of time to get him to stray. She was willing to wait.

Two hours later, they saw his cat wearing his ankle tracking device. He was about to bolt. Once he left his property, they gave chase. Dani drew her weapon, ordering him to freeze.

He put up his hands, just to kick a nearby garbage can at her. Elliot tackled him to the ground and they hauled him off to jail.

Now they could hold him long enough to get a confession.

Lizzie and Kathy were making Christmas cookies.

"How come we're making so many?" Lizzie asked. They were making three batches.

"I thought we could make a batch for everyone who has to work the holiday."

When the cookies were cool enough, Kathy put them away in storage containers and she and Lizzie took one of them over to the precinct.

"We'll be back in half an hour Dickie."

"Okay Mom." He was ready to go inside and get some cookies for himself.

They got to the precinct and Stabler was inside with the perp, trying to get him to confess.

"Kathy, Lizzie what brings you here?" Dani offered with a smile.

"We brought some cookies to cheer up whoever's stuck here tomorrow."

"That would be me and Munch. How kind of you."

Kathy forked them over.

Lizzie didn't like Dani. She couldn't put her finger on it, but something about the woman made her uneasy.

Kathy and Lizzie headed right back to the house. By the time Elliot came out, a signed confession in hand, they were almost home.

Dani told him, "it was nice of your wife and daughter to stop by."

"They were here."

"They dropped off cookies."

Elliot didn't like it when his family came by. He didn't want them to see the brutality of the cases they dealt with. "They didn't see …"

"Not a thing."

"Good. I don't need them to know this world."

"I understand completely. Some things should just be kept from our loved ones at home."

Now what did she mean by that?
