A month had passed since Elliot had told Olivia about Kathy leaving him and the kids. She tried to help him out as much as she could but in the past month she had been having some trouble of her own. She finally had to get a restraining order against Mike because he wouldn't leave her alone.

It didn't help that he was an ER doctor at the hospital where many of their rape victims were taken. Cragen would send Fin or Munch with Elliot as often as he could but it was hard because Olivia connected and related more to the victims. They trusted her.

The last week at work had been really good for Elliot and Liv because it was slow. This could go either way of being bad or good. Either no crimes were being committed or they weren't being reported. So they sat bored at their desks with paperwork.

"So what are the girls being for Halloween this year?"

"Well Maureen is being some girl called Hannah Montana whoever that is and Katie wants to be Cinderella."

"That's so cute. By the way Hannah Montana is a singer. What are you dressing the twins up as?"

"Babies."

"Oh come on, El I'm being serious."

"So am I, do they really have to be dressed up?"

"Yes. How about a baby dinosaur for Dickie and Ladybug for Lizzie."

"Works for me."

"Good I'll grab the costumes after work along with a costume for you."

"I'm not dressing up Liv."

"Yes, you are and you'll like it," Olivia said giving him a smile.

Before they knew it, it was time to leave. They said goodbye and went their separate ways to their cars.

An hour and a half later Olivia showed up on Elliot's doorstep with a bag of costumes and Chinese food.

"Missed me already, Liv?"

"Nah just the kids. It's really quiet where are they?"

"Homework and naps. So why did you go home then drive all the way here?"

"How did you know I went home first?"

"You changed your clothes."

"Oh."

"So what's up."

"I need to find a new place, for the last four or five days Mike has been sending me flowers, fruit baskets, and different gift baskets. He's not exactly breaking the restraining order because they are delivered but today I came home to four dozen white roses outside my apartment door and an engagement ring on top of one of the arraignments," Olivia said showing him the picture she took of it on her cell phone.

"Well you can stay here until you find a new place."

"That's good because half my clothes are in duffles bags in my car. El, how did this happen?"

"It's not your fault that crazy guys are attracted to a beautiful woman like you."

"Okay Mr. Smooth talking Stabler new topic. Now that Halloween is covered what are you planning for the twins first birthday party next month?"

"Oh I hadn't thought about it yet."

"Elliot do I have to do everything?"

"Well I'm guessing princess is out because that's what we did for the girls and Dickie isn't a girl."

"Yeah probably not the best idea. You really just need a theme."

"Liv, I'm not good at this how am I going to be a single parent what made me think I could do this?"

"You can do this El. How about Cinderella and the Prince theme? Do pink and blue balloons, castle cake, get them their own mini castle cakes one in pick, one in blue. Dress up stuff for girls, swords for the boys. It will be cute."

"You're amazing Liv. Speak of the devils, they are up I'll be right back."

Ten minutes later, Elliot walked into the living room one twin in each arm.

"Give me one of them you hog," Olivia said.

"Take Lizzie cause us men have to stick together," Elliot said.

Then they looked at Dickie's facial expression that look like he was saying yeah right dad.

"Maybe you should go get the girls for dinner El. I'm starving."

So Elliot walked toward Maureen's room while Olivia got Lizzie into her high chair. She took out plates and silverware then began to unpack the food. Elliot entered the kitchen and handed Dickie to Olivia who got him settled in his own high chair beside Lizzie while Elliot got the girls settled. They moved so smoothly around the kitchen as if they had been doing it for years.

One Week Later…

"Hello," Olivia said answering her cell phone.

"Liv I'm on my way home but I'm in traffic because I stopped to get the results of Mike's second court trial."

"Thanks El the kids are almost ready then I have to change. So you'll just have to change real quick when you get home so we can go trick or treating. I gotta go get the door more trick or treaters. See ya soon Bye."

Elliot walked in the door fifteen minutes later and was greeted by his oldest two daughters.

"Hi daddy."

"Hi Mo."

"Daddy, daddy look Livvy did our makeup."

"Very pretty Katie. Sit here with your sister while I go get my costume on."

Elliot walked into his bedroom and grabbed the bag off his dresser, when he pulled out the costume he found clothing articles that together would create a football uniform. He quickly got dressed then headed to the living room where found Liv getting the twins into their stroller and the girls sitting excitedly on the couch. As Olivia stood up Elliot realized Olivia was going as a cheerleader and was wearing close to nothing. He finally came out of his thoughts when she walked over to him and said,

"You look like the star of the team but you're missing something."

She placed one hand on his cheek then applied a black stripe under each eye.

"There perfect," Olivia said smiling up at him. Elliot was relieved that her hand was only on his cheek so she could feel his heart speed up and start racing at her gentle touch. He was falling for the one woman that always seemed to be there for him, the one woman that was off limits.

"Thanks Liv, how about we get these guys out and tire them out so maybe we can relax and watch a movie tonight."

"Okay sounds good. I ordered the cake today and the mini cakes for the twins. I also got them birthday outfits; I started getting decorations and fun stuff for the kids to do at the party."

"You're amazing Liv. You know that?"

"Yes I know. I have a date tomorrow night. I figured you'd be fine since its Saturday and we both have off. Plus it's not till later so the kids will probably already be down."

"I'm glad you're getting out there again."

"Me too; okay enough talking time for candy! Come on Mo and Katie let's roll and show Daddy how it's done."

After two and a half hours, Lizzie was getting cranky and they could tell the girls were getting tired even though they would never admit it.

"Okay girls, one more house and then we are going to head back."

"But Daddy," the girls said in unison, giving their father the lip.

"Yeah El," Liv said turning around while holding Lizzie and giving Elliot the same lip he had just received from the girls.

"That lip is not going to work on me, if you want to take them back out later that's fine but I think we all need to rest. So last house," Elliot said as they all walked up to a house together. They girls headed up first followed by Olivia carrying Lizzie and Elliot pushing a very knocked out Dickie in the stroller.

"Treat or Trick," Olivia and the girls said together as an older woman opened the door.

"What pretty costumes you have let me see what you all are, what do we have here; Hannah Montana, Katie, a Cheerleader and the Football captain I presume, a little ladybug, and what is this little fella a dinosaur? What a beautiful family you have," she said looking at Olivia.

"Thank you, we've been blessed," Olivia said not wanting to correct the older woman. They walked back down the driveway after receiving their candy and headed home.

After fifteen minutes of walking they finally reached the house and Lizzie had thankfully fallen asleep. They got everyone into the house, and then got the twins changed into pajamas before laying them down in their own cribs. Elliot and Olivia walked back into the living room to see candy poured all over the floor and the girls sitting dividing it into different piles.

"Looks like you girls have been busy," Olivia said.

"Livvy, can we go back out?"

"Yeah please Livvy," Maureen joined in.

"Maybe for a little while since its still early if its alright with your dad."

"You girls better be very good," Elliot said.

"Come on girls lets go, El why don't you go through the candy while we are gone."

They returned an hour later both girls dragging their feet with exhaust.

"Why don't you girls go get ready for bed and then daddy and I will come check on you."

"How were they?"

"They were good, how about the twins?"

"They woke up a few times but they are fine and sleeping. Thank you so much Liv for being here."

"You know I wouldn't be anywhere else, I love those kids; they are amazing. I'm going to say goodnight to the girls then head to bed."

Olivia lay in bed unable to sleep, her head flooded with thoughts of Elliot. She couldn't get how good he looked in the costume out of her head. Worse of all was how horny she was she hadn't had good sex in a while, the sex had been alright with Mike but she had a feeling it could be so much better. All she desperately wanted was to feel Elliot's touch. She thought the costume she wore might do it but she got no reaction from him.

She pulled a toy out of her night table as she slid her hand down to her hot wet center. She pushed one finger then two inside on herself, playing with herself for a while before placing the toy at her center. Olivia was so lost in the pleasure of the moment, moaning Elliot's naming wishing it was him that she didn't even hear Elliot open her door and walked into her room.
