Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.

It's Mother's Day and Noah gets out of bed and goes into the kitchen. He starts making the coffee and getting everything he needs to make the coffee cake he found at the store when he was was with Elliot one day when Liv had to work late.

He turns the oven on and starts preheating it. He mixes everything together and puts it in the oven and sets a timer on his phone.

The coffee finishes brewing and he goes to his room to get the coffee mug he had found for her and carefully takes it to the kitchen and washes it out. He had watched her make her coffee and follows each step. He carefully gets the mug and takes it to her bedroom. He sets it on her bedside table and kisses her cheek.

Olivia slowly wakes up. "Good morning sweet boy."

"Good morning Mom! Happy Mother's Day!"

"Thank you sweet boy."

"There's your coffee. The mug is part of your gift." The timer goes off on his phone. "Oh! Stay there. Breakfast is ready."

Olivia laughs as he dashes out of her room and carefully sits up. She grabs her phone and snaps a picture of her new mug.

To El:

Good morning. Got woke up with a kiss on my cheek and this mug full of coffee from my sweet boy. What did you do?

To Liv:

Happy Mother's Day! We went shopping for everything when he was with me one night when you had to work late. There's more so enjoy. The squad is under orders from Fin to call him and only him today.

To El:

Thank you. As for the squad, McGrath is going to hate that.

To Liv:

No, Noah called him Friday and told him that you and him are spending the day together today and under no circumstances is he to bother you. Not even to call you.

To El:

He did what?! What did McGrath say?

To Liv:

He laughed at first then Noah got firm with him. Told him you two haven't had an uninterrupted weekend together in a long time and he wanted to spend just one day with you

Liv's mouth drops in shock.

To El:

Wow. What did he say?

To Liv:

McGrath knew he meant business so he agreed. So enjoy your work free day and we will see you later.

To El:

We?

To Liv:

Yes we. It's a surprise. Just relax and enjoy the morning. It'll be ok. I promise.

To El:

Ok. If you say so. Will I at least see you at some point?

To Liv:

Yes. Later on and that's all you're getting.

To El:

Ok. I'll see you later.

To Liv:

Ok.

Noah comes back in with a plate for each of them with the coffee cake and rushes back out to get his phone and his juice. "Can I come sit with you?"

Olivia nods. "You better. What did you fix?"

Noah smiles and climbs up on the bed and snuggles by her. "Coffee cake. I had some with Connor once and it was so good. I found it down here at the store with Elliot and I hid the box in my room so you wouldn't see it."

Olivia wraps her arm around him and pulls him close. "Oh I love you my sweet boy."

"I love you too."

They start to eat and Olivia smiles. "This is really good."

"There's more for later or you can take a piece to work tomorrow."

"I'll do that. Thanks baby. What else are we doing today?"

Noah smiles. "I gotta check something real quick before I tell you."

She nods. "Ok."

He quickly checks the weather on his phone. "Ok. So we are going to the park this afternoon. I have another part of my present there."

"Ok. What time do we have to be there?"

Noah scrolls his messages with Elliot. "Around lunch. So in a few hours. We have time to watch a movie or whatever if you want."

She nods. "Sure. What do you want to watch?"

Noah smiles. "I actually did something.." He pulls up his page and casts something to her tv.

She looks at him. "What did you do?"

"Don't worry. It's private. No one can find it unless I invite them."

She nods. "Good job."

Noah pushes play and the video starts.

"Hi Mama. Happy Mother's Day! I was looking at some pictures one day and thought they deserved to be put together in a show. So snuggle close and let's get ready for a trip down memory lane."

She looks at him. "What?"

"It's ok. I promise."

On the screen, is a picture of the hotel where she found baby Noah. She smiles and starts tearing up.

"Do you recognize this place?"

"Yeah. It's the hotel where Aunt Amanda and I found you. You were this little baby just laying in a diaper in a drawer with blankets."

The picture changes to one of them. She smiles. "That's the day Judge Liden asked me if I wanted to foster you and adopt you. I picked you up from ACS and sat in the rocking chair and rocked you and patted your back and you laid your head on my shoulder."

He smiles. "What about this one?"

Olivia smiles. "That was your adoption day. That was probably one of the best days of my life. Knowing you and I were together..forever." She kisses the top of his head and the picture flashes to his first dance lesson. "My tiny dancer. You looked so handsome in your dance clothes."

The picture changes again to a previous Mother's Day. "Oh that's the day we ran into El while he was getting flowers for his Mama and Kathy's grave."

"He was so nice to me."

Olivia nods. "Did you know he told me that I'd be a great mom years ago. I tried to adopt a long time ago but they said I wasn't prime parent material."

"What?! But they let you have me.."

She nods. "I think those people didn't like a single woman adopting. But that's ok because I found you."

They sit in bed and talk for a few hours . "I'm going to go get ready. Wear comfy clothes and shoes."

She nods. "Ok."

He kisses her cheek and heads back to his room and gets ready then heads to the kitchen and cleans up.

"Mama, you ready?"

She laughs. "Coming sweet boy. What do I need to bring?"

"Just your phone and that's it."

"Ok. Let's go."

Noah had his dance bag packed.

"What's all that for sweet boy?"

"You'll see.."

They head to the park and everyone is there. Amanda, Sonny and the girls, Fin and Phoebe, Elliot and his family, Bernie..

"Noah..what…"

"Trust me."

He sets a couple of big blankets down and everyone sits down except Noah and Elliot.

Olivia looks at them and Noah turns some music on his phone. Noah starts dancing with Elliot and he walks over to Liv.

"Mom, Elliot asked me what I thought you wanted for Mother's Day. I told him that you wanted to be happy. Not that I don't make you happy but.."

She laughs. "I know what you mean."

Elliot walks over to Olivia and kneels in front of her. He takes her hands. "Olivia, I have loved you for years…decades. And I want to keep loving you for decades to come. So I asked Noah and he said today would be a good day…would you do me the honor of being Olivia Benson-Stabler and letting me adopt Noah to make him a Stabler too?"

Tears stream down her face as she nods. "Yes to both."
