Location: SVU Squad Room.
"Liv?" called Elliot upon entering the squad room. "Are you ready?"
He had just come back from doing some field work, investigating a crime scene, then a death notification. Not his favorite parts of his job. Elliot looked around the squad room. Fin and Munch were hard at work, looking for leads in their latest case. But Olivia was nowhere to be found.
"Where's Liv?" asked Elliot.
"She's up in the crib laying down," Fin answered.
"Is she alright?" Elliot grew concerned.
"Yea," Fin assured him. "Everything's cool. She was just tired and needed to get off her feet for awhile. Why?"
"Nothing serious," Elliot told him. "She has a doctor appointment in an hour. I was just making sure she's ready."
With that, Elliot left Fin and Munch to their work and made his way upstairs to the crib. Inside, the room was lined with bunk beds against the walls. And in the bed to the right of the door, lay Olivia, cradling a rather large baby bump in her arms as she slumbered. Elliot smiled to himself as he watched her resting peacefully. He thought she never looked more beautiful than she did then and there.
Suddenly, Olivia stirred in her sleep. Her eyes fluttered open as she yawned. She smiled when she saw Elliot standing in the doorway.
"Hey you," she greeted him sleepily.
She rolled over and sat up, which took her a moment, due to her swelling belly.
"What time is it?" Olivia asked, yawning. "Did I over sleep?"
"You're fine," Elliot assured her as he sat down beside her.. "We still have about an hour. I didn't mean to wake you. Sorry."
"You didn't wake me," Olivia told him. "My bladder did. Help me up."
Elliot stood up and took her hand. Then he gently and slowly helped her stand up. Olivia thanked him and waddled off to the bathroom. A few minutes later, she came back out and sat back down beside Elliot.
"Ohhh!" she groaned. "My back is killing me."
"I can help with that," Elliot turned to face her. "Lay on your side and put your back towards me. I used to do this for Kathy when she was pregnant."
Olivia did as she was told and laid down. Elliot softly and gently began to massage her neck and shoulders. Then he slowly worked his way down her back, his strong, muscular hands massaging the pain and tension away.
"Mmmm..." Olivia moaned, as she closed her eyes. "That feels so good."
Once Elliot reached the lowest part of her back, he began to work his way back up, massaging every part of her back until he reached her neck and shoulders again.
"Is that better?" he asked as he finished and help Olivia sit up again.
"Much," she tenderly kissed his soft lips. "Thank you."
Elliot cupped her face in his hands and kissed her back ever so sweetly. But suddenly, Olivia quickly pulled away.
"Oooohh!" Olivia cried, out holding her belly.
"What happened?" Elliot began to worry. "Are okay? Is it the baby?"
"I'm fine,"Olivia grinned, her face beaming. "The baby just kicked."
"It did?" Elliot smiled, feeling relieved.
"Yea," she nodded, beaming. "Want to feel it?"
"Of, course!" he answered.
"Give me your hand," she told him.
He held out his hand as Olivia took it in hers.
"Right there," Olivia gently pressed his hand onto her belly. "Can you feel it."
At first, Elliot felt nothing. But a moment later, he felt a bump.
"Wow!" Elliot exclaimed. "What a strong baby!"
"Just like its daddy," Olivia gazed lovingly at Elliot.
"Just like its mother," Elliot returned her gaze.
For a moment neither of them spoke. Time seemed to stand still as they stared deeply and lovingly into each others eyes. After several minutes, Olivia spoke up.
"We better get going," she said softly. "We don't want to be late."
Elliot helped her stand up and escorted her out of the crib and downstairs into the squad room. Munch and Fin were still hard at work. This time Cragen was with them, going over evidence. The three of them looked up when Olivia and Elliot entered the room.
"El, I'll be right back," Olivia said. "I have to use the bathroom."
"But you just went," Elliot said.
"Well, I have to go again," Olivia yelled as she ran off to the bathroom.
Elliot walked over to Olivia's desk to grab her coat for her.
"You two leaving?" Cragen asked.
"Yes," Elliot answered. "I'm taking Liv to her doctor appointment. We're going to find out the baby's gender today. We'll come back here afterward."
"Good," Cragen nodded in approval. "I need you two to help with this case."
"You can count on us," Elliot reassured him.
"I know," Cragen said. "Oh, and let me know how the appointment goes."
"Will do, Captain," Elliot told him.
As Cragen walked back into his office, Olivia came out of the bathroom and reentered the squad room.
"Are you ready now?" asked Elliot, holding her coat open for her.
"Yes I am," Olivia replied, putting her arms in her coat sleeves.
"Good luck," Fin called out to them.
"May your first child be a masculine child," Munch quipped. "And if it is, name it after me."
"Why would she name her baby after an idiot?" Fin joked.
"See you guys later," Olivia laughed at them.
She and Elliot exited the precinct as Fin and Munch continued to bicker.
Location: Mercy Hospital.
"Are you okay?" Elliot asked.
Olivia was laying down on the exam room table, anxiously waiting for the doctor to come in. Elliot sat in a chair beside her holding her hand.
"Yea," Olivia nodded. "Just a little nervous, I guess."
"You have nothing to worry about," Elliot kissed her hand. "Everything will be just fine."
"I'm sure you're right," Olivia smiled, gently squeezing his hand.
At the moment, the door opened, and Dr. Waiss entered the room.
"Hello, Olivia," Dr. Waiss greeted with a warm smile. "Hello, Elliot. How are the three of you doing today. Olivia, I see your belly has grown quite a bit since your last visit."
"I'm good," Elliot replied. "How about yourself?"
"I'm fine," Dr. Waiss answered. "Thanks for asking."
"We're good too," Olivia patted her belly. "Just a little nervous. That's all."
"There's no reason to be nervous," Dr. Waiss said calmly.
"That's what I told her," Elliot smiled at Olivia.
"Good looking and smart," Dr. Waiss chuckled. "Olivia, you've got yourself a keeper. Don't let him go."
"I won't," Olivia grinned lovingly at Elliot.
"Alright," Dr. Waiss put on a pair of latex gloves. "Enough jokes. Shall we begin now?"
"Yes, please," Olivia responded.
"The results of your amniocentesis are back," Dr. Waiss announced. "Everything came back normal. Your baby is perfectly healthy."
"That's great!" Olivia exclaimed. "Thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome," Dr. Waiss said. "Now lift up your blouse please."
Olivia lifted her blouse up to just below her breasts, only exposing her bare abdomen. Dr. Waiss carefully and gently examined Olivia's abdomen.
"Everything looks good from the outside," Dr. Waiss observed. "You're a good size and look very healthy. How are you feeling? Everything alright?"
"I feel fine," Olivia told her. "The baby kicked for the first time today."
"That's great!" Dr. Waiss removed the stethoscope from around her neck. "I don't feel it kicking now, but I'm just going to listen for a moment."
Dr. Waiss put the ear pieces in her ears and placed the other piece on Olivia's abdomen. She quietly listened as she slowly moved the stethoscope around.
"Your baby has a strong heartbeat," said the doctor. "Are you ready to do the ultrasound now?"
"Yes," Olivia nodded.
Olivia leaned back as Dr. Waiss turned on the monitor in front of herself and Olivia, then grabbed the bottle of ultrasound jelly. She opened the bottle and poured the clear jelly onto Olivia's abdomen. Then Dr. Waiss reached for the transducer and placed it on Olivia's jelly-covered abdomen. She moved it around until they were able to see the baby's shape in the monitor.
"And there's your baby," Dr. Waiss pointed to the monitor with her free hand. "It's approximately twenty weeks old. Here's the head and this is the body. And these little things wiggling are its arms and legs. It looks like your baby is sucking its thumb."
"Aww!" Olivia smiled at Elliot. "Look at our baby!"
"It's beautiful," Elliot smiled back. "Just like its mother."
"Would you like to know the gender?" inquired Dr. Waiss.
Olivia looked over at Elliot. "Do you want to know?"
"I do if you do," Elliot replied.
Olivia nodded to Dr. Waiss. "Yes. We want to know."
Dr. Waiss examined the baby's image on the monitor for a moment before turning her attention back to Olivia and Elliot.
"Congratulations!" Dr. Waiss grinned. "It's a girl!"
Tears of joy streamed down Olivia's face as she became speechless. Next to her, Elliot kissed her cheek and spoke softly in her ear. But Olivia didn't hear him. She gazed in awe at her baby on the monitor, at her daughter growing inside of her.
Location: Streets of New York City.
As Elliot maneuvered the car through the congested city streets, Olivia sat in the front passenger seat, smiling and caressing her enlarged belly. She thought of her baby girl growing within her. It was no longer an "it," but a "her." It was their daughter. She and Elliot created a baby girl.
"So," Elliot glanced at her through the rear view mirror. "Do you have a name picked out for her?"
"Not yet," Olivia replied, glowing with motherly pride. "I'm still looking for the right one. It's got to be perfect, you know. Just like her."
Elliot smiled. "Yea, I know."
He remembered how Kathy searched through countless baby name books before deciding on names. Except for Eli and Dickie. Eli was named after himself, and Dickie, was named after Elliot's former mentor, Dick Finley. Of course, back then Elliot had no idea what a monster his mentor truly was.
"Are you okay?" Olivia noticed his distant stare.
"Yea," Elliot answered. "I was just thinking."
"About Kathy?" Olivia guessed. "And the kids?"
Elliot nodded. "I've been missing them even more lately. But that won't change anything between us. I still want this baby. Our daughter."
Hearing Elliot use the words "our daughter" made Olivia's heart flutter.
"So do I," Olivia said. "I'll admit. I was scared at first. I still am. I wasn't sure if I'd be capable of raising this baby after what happened." Her eyes welled up with tears. "Especially after I testified in court. I felt like I was too damaged to be a mother. I was having trouble dealing with my own demons. How could I take care of a child on top of all that?"
"Liv, we've talked about this," Elliot reminded her. "We'll work through this. Together."
"I know," Olivia told him. "But when she kicked for the first time and even more so when I watched her move inside of me on the ultrasound monitor, I realized I wanted her more than anything else in this world. Elliot, I love our baby girl so much. And I can't wait to meet her. And to hold her in my arms."
"I feel the exact same way," Elliot said, gently and sweetly.
For the first time during the drive, Olivia took her eyes of her belly and looked out the window. Something didn't seem right. It was taking longer than usual to get home. And Olivia finally realized why. They were driving in the opposite direction.
"Hey," Olivia pointed out. "This isn't the way home. Where are we going?"
Elliot laughed. "I guess there's no fooling you, is there?"
"I am a cop, after all," Olivia teased. "Now answer my question before I shoot you."
"Shoot me?" Elliot joked. "How? Are hiding a gun in your baby bump?"
"No," Olivia answered, putting one hand on his holster. "But I can always take yours."
"Alright," Elliot finally gave in. "If you must know, I thought we could take a look at that house again. You know, the one just outside of the city you liked so much?"
Olivia sat up straight. "But I thought we agreed that it was out of our budget."
"Well," Elliot pressed on. "There's no harm in taking a second look."
They continued driving until they reached a neighborhood just outside of the city. Olivia watched out the window as they drove past children riding their bikes and more children playing ball. They made a right turn down a street and passed a playground. Olivia remembered that the house was only two blocks away from there. She had often told Elliot how she dreamed of being able to take their baby for walk a to the park on warm, sunny afternoons. They drove down two more blocks, then turned onto the street where the house was located.
As they approached the house, Elliot slowed down, pulled into the driveway, and turned off the ignition. Olivia's heart sank when she saw the "For Sale" sign in front of the house was covered by a big "SOLD" sticker. Elliot saw the sadness in her eyes, and put an arm around her.
"What's wrong?" he comforted her.
"It's sold," she sighed. "I guess I always knew it would get sold eventually. It's such a beautiful house. But I really wanted it."
"I know," Elliot grinned. "That's why I bought it for you."
"What?" Olivia couldn't believe her ears. "How?"
"Well," Elliot explained. "The insurance policy for my old house finally paid off. But instead of rebuilding it, I sold the property to the bank. So not only did I have enough money to make an offer on the house, which they graciously accepted. But I also have money left over to decorate this place however you want."
"Really?" Olivia looked him in the eyes as her face lit up.
"Yes," Elliot returned her gaze as he held up a key. "So do you want to take a look inside or not? If not, we could-"
Olivia interrupted him with a kiss and a warm embrace. "Oh, Elliot! Thank you! This means the world to me!"
Elliot kissed her back. "And you and our baby girl mean the world to me. I'd do anything for the two of you."
"So, when can we move in?" Olivia asked, excitedly.
"Whenever you want," Elliot handed her the key.
Together they exited the car and walked up the sidewalk and stepped onto the large wide porch. Olivia unlocked the door and entered the house with Elliot behind her. Inside, they stood in a big open room that connected to a hallway which led to the staircase.
"This will be our living room," Olivia said dreamily. "And over there is where we'll put the dining room set. And there's even a basement downstairs that we can turn into a den."
She and Elliot continued down the hallway. Behind the staircase was the entrance to the kitchen. In the center of the kitchen was a granite top island with stools that matched the rest of the cabinets and counters. Olivia's favorite part of the kitchen were the windows that overlooked the fenced in backyard.
"I can cook and watch our daughter play at the same time," she remarked. "Also, I would love to get a swing set, or maybe even a pool for the backyard."
Elliot nodded and smiled as Olivia continued to lead him around the house, describing everything she wanted to do. She led him upstairs and through the hallway.
"There's three bedrooms up here," Olivia continued. "I figure we can turn the third room into a guest room for now."
"For now?" Elliot repeated.
"Yea," Olivia nodded. "We may decide to have more children later. You never know."
"Anything you want," Elliot kissed her cheek.
"This room is going to be the baby's nursery," Olivia entered the last room at the end of the hall. "I can't wait to decorate-"
She stopped in mid sentence and became speechless. Across from where she and Elliot stood, was a plush playpen filled with baby items leaning against the wall. There were blankets, bottles, clothes, toys, bath necessities and a whole lot more. Propped up against one side of the playpen were two large boxes. One contained a car seat, and the other contained a dark cherry wood crib. On the other side of the playpen was a mountain of diapers and baby wipes, along with more baby items.
"Oh my...," Olivia could barely speak. She was so surprised.
"The guys and I...," Elliot began. "Well, we're guys, to put it plain and simple. We're not the baby shower type, but we still wanted to do something for you and the baby. So we decided this way would be best."
"I love it!" Olivia said, tears stinging her eyes. "Thank you, El!"
"You're welcome," Elliot said. "But it wasn't just me."
She wasn't sure whether it was hormones or pure happiness, but Olivia began to cry. Elliot put his arms around her and pulled her close. Olivia wiped the tears from her eyes and tenderly kissed Elliot's lips.
"Why are you so good to me?" Olivia gazed into his sapphire blue eyes.
"Because I love you," Elliot stared into her deep brown eyes and kissed her back.
"I love you too," Olivia intertwined her fingers in his. "Come on."
"Now where are we going?" Elliot asked following her back into the hallway.
"I want to show you our room," Olivia said with a grin and a certain gleam in her eye.
She led him into the room next door the nursery.
"You do realize there's no bed in here," Elliot noted. "At least, not yet anyway."
"There's a floor," Olivia told him, as she began to undress. "And there's blinds on the windows so no one can peek in. That's all we need right now."
"I promised Cragen we'd be back after your appointment," Elliot reminded her.
He felt himself becoming aroused. He wanted her just as much as she wanted him. But was there enough time?
"Appointments can sometimes take hours," Olivia began undressing Elliot as she kissed his neck. "I think we can make some time to christen our new home before we head back."
Olivia and Elliot quickly undressed each other and laid down on the floor. Olivia positioned herself on Elliot's lap as he showered her body with kisses. He kissed his way from her lips down to her neck. He moved lower still to her breasts. Whimpering moans escaped Olivia's lips as he kissed her breasts, licking and sucking each one. The pleasure began to build inside her.
"Oh, Liv!" Elliot lifted his face to hers, admiring her naked flesh. Even with her pregnant belly, she still looked like a goddess. "Baby, you're so beautiful!"
He pressed his lips to hers in a most passionate kiss. Her lips were as soft as rose petals and tasted as sweet as candy. It was so intoxicating that Elliot wanted more. He wanted all of her, right then and there. Olivia moaned as Elliot spread her legs apart and his rock hard manhood nudged at her moist opening. The pregnancy hormones only intensified the pleasure within her. She wanted to feel Elliot inside her already. All of him.
"Oh, El!" Olivia moaned. "Take me already! Baby, I want you inside me now!"
Elliot couldn't resist her any longer and plunged his penis all the way inside her and began thrusting deep and hard. Olivia closed her eyes and released a long, loud moan, taking all of Elliot inside her and meeting his every thrust.
"Open your eyes, baby," Elliot cupped her face in his hands. "I want to look into your eyes."
Olivia opened her eyes and pressed her head against Elliot's forehead as they gazed into each others eyes. She wrapped her hands around his strong muscular shoulders. Her long brown hair falling all around Elliot's face made him crazy. He let go of her face and wrapped her hands around her ass.
"Oh, baby! Yes!" Olivia felt herself becoming lost in a sea of ecstasy. "El! El!"
She tried to call out his name, but the intense pleasure left her tongue tied. She bucked her hips, rocking hard against his deep upward thrusts into her. Her nails dug deep into his shoulders. His hands squeezed her ass, pushing her harder into him as her body swallowed his manhood whole.
"Fuck!" Elliot groaned aloud. "Liv, you feel so good!"
He was getting close, and he could sense that she couldn't hold it in much longer. He quickened his pace, thrusting harder and deeper inside her. And Olivia continued moving with him, moaning and bouncing in his lap as she rode him hard. Seeing her flushed face and her breasts bouncing drove Elliot close to the edge. He brought his lips to hers and teased her tongue with his. Olivia took her cue from him and gently tugged at his lip with her own. This drove them both over the edge.
They quickened to a frenzied and feverish pace. Olivia began to tremble and moan loudly as she felt her climax approaching. She tossed her head back and screamed in ecstasy as her orgasm erupted within her body like a volcano. As she continued to convulse from her orgasm, Elliot felt his own climax approaching. His hands clung to her ass as he jerked and thrust upward again and again. He let out a loud low moan as his orgasm took over his body.
Olivia relaxed in his laps, their arms wrapped around each other as they caught their breath. They gazed lovingly into each others eyes, both of them shaking and glistening with sweat.
"I love you, Liv," Elliot tenderly kissed her soft, sweet lips.
"I love you to, El," Olivia kissed him back just as tenderly.
"And we love you," Elliot lowered his head and kissed Olivia's pregnant belly.
