You guys are the best!
The party soon began. All of their friends and family showed up. Even most of the teachers came. Olivia was a little surprised at how many different questions were asked about their baby.
Halfway through the party, Elliot and Olivia excused themselves so they could eat and sit down. Olivia was rubbing her ankels while they ate. "I don't care what they say. These shoes were not meant to be used for more than two hours."
Elliot chuckled. "You are adorable when you're crabby, you know that?"
"Exactly how adorable am I?" Olivia asked playfully.
"So adorable that you'd beat a bunny at a cuteness contest anyday." Elliot smirked kissing her cheek.
Olivia smiled at him and took another bite of her sandwich. She looked around and noticed someone she hadn't seen in a very long time. "El?"
"Yes baby?" Elliot asked with a peice of pork hanging out of his mouth.
"Is that who I think it is by the fence?" Olivia asked.
Elliot glanced over at the fence and growled when he saw who was here. "Why is she here? We didn't invite her."
"Your parents must've invited her parents." Olivia said.
They watched as Kathy picked up her one year old son. He frowned and yelled at her. She put him down and waited a minute before picking him up again. He didn't like it, but he didn't yell.
Kathy walked over to them. "Well, congradulations to you guys. To your baby too, when are you due?"
Olivia really didn't want to tell Kathy about her baby. "Um, they end of August. How's your little guy doing?"
Kathy looked down at her son. "He just turned one this past Saturday. I can't believe it."
There was an awkward silence as Kathy stayed there. "Uh, thanks for coming." Elliot said.
Kathy smiled at him brightly. "You're welcome Elliot. I'll see you around." She said walking away.
"Someone has the hots for my husband." Olivia said looking at Elliot.
"Well, it's a good thing your husband only has hots for his wife." Elliot smiled kissing her.
Olivia smiled. "Even though your wife looks like a hot air balloon?"
Elliot chuckled. "You do not look like a hot air balloon. You are beautiful, and I love you so much."
"I love you too." Olivia smiled.
The next couple of months went by fast. Olivia enrolled in an online college and Elliot was going to be a marine soon. It was Auguest 27th and Olivia was dying of heat. She had two fans blowing constantly at her.
Elliot usually sat wearing a sweater and pants in the cold apartment. On this afternoon, he was watching a baseball game while Olivia tried cooling off.
"El, why is it so hot?" Olivia whined.
"Liv, it's just you." Elliot smirked.
Olivia chuckled but then suddenly got quiet. Elliot got nervous then. He turned to see Olivia's eyes widen. "El, I think my water just broke."
"I'll get the bag. Go change." Elliot said bolting to the bedroom.
Olivia got up slowly and changed while Elliot took her bag down to their car. He came back up and helped Olivia down so they could get to the hospital.
When they were situated in their room, Olivia was checked over and hooked up to a machine to help keep track of the baby. "Ow!" Olivia moaned.
Elliot shot into action and took her hand. "It's okay. Just breathe through it. You're doing great." He rubbed her back as the contraction died down.
"Thanks." Olivia smiled.
"No problem. You are giving me a son. I couldn't ask you for more." Elliot smiled rubbing her scalp.
"I love you." Olivia whispered.
"I love you too." Elliot whispered back and kissed her.
Olivia looked into his eyes with tears in her own. "El, what if I'm not a good mother?"
"Don't even ask that. Liv, you are going to be the best mother this boy is going to see. He is going to love you because you love him. We're both going to mess up, but hey. We're only human. Plus, you could never intentionally hurt a child. I know you too well, Liv." Elliot said rubbing her cheek with his thumb.
"Thanks El." Olivia smiled softly. She kissed his nose and rubbed the back of his hand with her thumb.
A few hours later, the doctor came in. "Well, it looks like we're ready to take you down to delivery. Are you guys ready to become parents?"
"YES!" Olivia growled through the waves of pain. How is child birth beautiful?! I opening up like a fricken flower or whatever that lady said. Who even says that! Olivia screamed in her head.
The nurses unhooked Olivia from the machine and wheeled her cot down the hallway. Elliot was running along with it. "It's okay Liv. We're almost done. Remember, after this we get to meet our son."
Olivia smiled weakly at him. He always knew what to say. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it. They soon reached the delivery room. Elliot helped Olivia into the right position for her to give birth to the baby.
Elliot kissed her and brushed back her hair. "We're almost done. You're doing so good."
"Shut up!" Olivia spat.
Elliot smiled slightly. At least I was prepared for this. He thought.
"Okay Olivia, push!" The doctor said.
Elliot supported Olivia as she pushed. "Ahhhh!" Olivia screeched.
"Okay Olivia, breath." The doctor said.
Olivia collasped onto the mattress with tears in her eyes. She took quick breaths and looked at Elliot. He smiled at her. "You're doing great. Just a few more pushes and we'll see our little boy."
"Push!" The doctor said.
Olivia arched her back again to push. Elliot put an arm around her to help her. He leaned his forehead against her temple and kept his eyes trained on her. "I love you so much."
"Breath." The doctor said. Olivia leaned into Elliot's arm and panted. "I see the head. Just a few more pushes and we'll be done... Push!"
Olivia pushed. Elliot stayed right by her head smiling at her. "You are doing great babe."
"Breath." The doctor said. "We have the shoulders now. One more big push and you'll be a mommy. Push!"
Olivia pushed again. She used everything in her. Her hand was gripping onto one of Elliot's while they other held her leg. Elliot kept whispering he loved her over and over. Suddenly, she heard a cry. She opened her eyes to see a baby. Her baby.
"Congratulations! Here's your little boy." The doctor smiled holding him up for them to see.
Olivia smiled with tears in her eyes. "He's perfect."
"Just like his mommy." Elliot smiled kissing her head. He had tears in his own eyes.
"Do we have a name?" A nurse asked.
"Yeah, Richard Joseph Stabler." Olivia smiled brightly.
"Here's your little boy." A different nurse said handing the newly cleaned baby over to Olivia.
Olivia took her son into her arms and smiled down at him. "I guess we're going to have to wait to see some hair."
Elliot chuckled. His son had absolutly no hair. "I guess. He's beautiful. I'm so proud of you." He kissed Olivia's head.
"I love you." Olivia smiled at him.
"I love you too." Elliot smiled and kissed her.
They both looked back down at the new addition to the family. They both gasped when he opened his eyes. "Stabler." They both said and chuckled.
Richard yawned and raised his arm. Elliot put his finger on his little fist. The fist gripped onto his finger. "Look how little these fingers are." Elliot smiled.
"I know." Olivia smiled. She turned to the nurse. "How big is he?"
The nurse smiled. "He's 20 inches and seven pounds twelve onces. Why doesn't Daddy go take him to see the rest of the family while we clean you up to go back to your room?"
"Okay." Olivia said. She handed Richard to Elliot after kissing his little head. "Mommy loves you."
"We love you too." Elliot smiled and kissed her before going out with a nurse to go see his family.
