Please review! You guys are the best and I have no school today thanks to the snow!
Olivia and Elliot walked into the waiting room after dropping Dickie and Summer off at John and Alex's. "What happened?" Elliot asked with his arm around Olivia.
"Your father was shot! They're in surgery right now. They were chasing some guy and he turned around and shot him right before he fell into the Hudson." Bernie explained. "Where are Dickie and Summer?"
"We dropped them off at John and Alex's place." Elliot said. "Have the doctors said anything?"
"They just said that he was shot in the chest." Bernie breathed.
Rebecca and Sarah came up and hugged Olivia and Elliot. "Hey guys." Olivia said quietly tearing up.
"Hey, I haven't seen you in a while." Rebecca smiled lightly and wiped her eyes.
"I know. You're a big senior this year." Olivia said hugging Rebecca again.
Scott and Beth came up and hugged them next. "Hey Elliot, Olivia."
"Hey." Elliot said and rubbed Olivia's arm. "Where's Joe and Jordan?"
"Uh, they're on their way. Joe had to pick up Jordan." Scott explained. He put his arm around Beth.
They all sat down and waited for the doctor to come and talk to them. After two hours, he came in. "Joseph Stabler's family?"
They all stood up. Joe Junior put his hand on Bernie's shoulder as they waited for the doctor to speak. "How is he?" Bernie asked.
The doctor paused. "I'm so sorry. He lost a lot of blood. Joseph didn't make it."
Olivia put her face in Elliot's chest and clung to him. Elliot wrapped his arms around her and put his face into her hair. "I'm sorry." Olivia whispered.
"I am too." Elliot choked out.
Three days later, they had the funeral. They were standing around the burial site. Olivia was carrying Dickie while Elliot held Summer. Olivia was rubbing his back as the priest spoke. Elliot looked down at his daughter as he tried his hardest to stay strong. Summer looked up at him with her big blue eyes. He kissed her head and whispered. "Daddy loves you."
That night, Elliot was playing with Summer in the living room. He had her laying on his thigh on the floor. She watched him as he watched her. "Summer, what are you thinking? I bet you have all sorts of questions. Yeah, I bet you do. When you get older, I'm going to teach you so many things." He brushed some of her hair out of her face. "I'm going to make you promise me that you're not going to let me become my father. I know you didn't really know your grandfather, but you'll probably find out."
Summer blew bubbled and yawned. Elliot smiled. "I think somebody is tired. Huh, are you tired?"
Olivia walked in with Dickie. "Hey Daddy." Olivia smiled slightly and sat down next to him. She laid her head on his shoulder as Dickie played with his trains. "How are you holding up?"
"I'm doing okay." Elliot said. "I just can't believe he's really gone."
"Me either." Olivia breathed. Elliot kissed her head. "Hey Murmur, are you as tired as Mommy? You look like it."
Elliot chuckled. "How are you doing?"
Olivia sighed. "I'm okay." Beethoven walked up and Olivia petted him. "Hey, do you know where Beethoven is sleeping at night?"
"Yeah, he sleeps in front of Summer's crib." Elliot smiled. "He's guarding her."
Olivia smiled and scratched Beethoven's chin. "Are you Summer's guardian?"
Beethoven's ears perked up and he licked Summer's cheek. Summer stirred from the large tongue traveling her face. "Ew!" Elliot chuckled. "Right Summer? Ew!" Summer smiled and rubbed her eyes. "It's bedtime."
"No!" Dickie whined.
Olivia laughed. "Yeah, c'mon we've had a long day. Tomorrow Daddy gets to stay home. So, you'll have all day to play with him."
Dickie smiled and ran over to Elliot. He looked down at Summer. "Say Dickie."
Elliot smiled. "Dickie, it's going to be a while before she says anything. She can't even sit up on her own yet."
"Teach her." Dickie said simply.
"It doesn't work that way Dickie." Olivia smiled and picked him up. "C'mon, I'll read you a story while Daddy puts Summer to bed."
"Okay Mommy." Dickie yawned and laid his head down on her shoulder. Olivia climbed the stairs with Elliot behind her.
"Hey El?" Olivia asked outside of Dickie's room.
Elliot stopped and looked at her. "Yes baby?"
"Are you going to meet me in our room?" Olivia asked with a seductive smile. Elliot smirked, winked, and nodded.
April came around the corner and it was William's birthday. They all went to Casey and Fin's apartment. William was going around to everyone saying. "I'm three."
Elliot smiled and adjusted Summer in his arms. "Yes, you are Will. Are you excited for cake?"
"Yeah, it's chocolate!" William smiled and ran off to play with Dickie.
Elliot smiled again and looked up to find Alex. "Oh no!"
Alex smiled. "C'mon Elliot, you get to see her everyday. I want to see my goddaughter."
Elliot chuckled. "Okay, are you still watching her and Dickie tomorrow?"
"Yeah, they'll be fine." Alex smiled taking Summer and bouncing her lightly. Summer squealed and put her hands in her mouth. "Yeah, you tell Daddy. Aunt Alex is so much fun."
Olivia smiled and kissed Elliot's head before sitting on Elliot's lap. "You do know she's going to take Summer to the mall while John tries to play video games with Dickie, right?"
"Yeah, I know that. It's so funny. John just can't get the hang of it." Elliot chuckled putting his arm around Olivia's waist.
"Hey, I happen to be getting better!" John yelled from somewhere in the apartment.
Olivia and Elliot laughed. "What time do we have to be at the church?" Elliot asked.
"Uh, I think Jordan is picking you up at noon. I have to leave at nine with Rebecca, Sarah, and Beth. We're getting our hair done and then meeting you guys at the church." Olivia said.
"Did you know this is going to be the first wedding we've been to since ours?" Elliot asked smiling.
Olivia grinned. "I never thought of that, but yes it is. Do you remember our wedding?"
"How can I not?" Elliot asked. "You are everything to me. From the moment I saw you walking up the school steps in your brown pants, white tang top, and red jacket, I knew that I had to know you. In every way, I was right. If I didn't meet you, life wouldn't be worth living. You are my life. I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for you. I love you Liv. I plan on making you feel beautiful, important, and loved everyday. I promise you that I will."
Olivia kissed him hard. "You do remember?"
"Do remember what you said?" Elliot asked smirking against her lips.
Olivia grinned. "I'll take a whack at it. Elliot, you could say in many ways that you are my protector, my savior. You've done so much for me. For example, you told me you loved me on the football field's scoreboard on our first date. You gave me love unconditionally. I will love you everyday until the day I die. No matter how goofy you are singing your favorite songs to how cranky you can be when you don't eat on a constant basis. I love you so much already." Elliot smiled and kissed her nose.
John clapped Elliot's shoulder. "Get a room my friend."
