Please review!
It was July 18th, and it was hot. Olivia and Elliot were in their basement with the kids. There was five fans blowing at them. Beethoven was panting on Summer while she played with a stuffed bear. Dickie was helping Elliot build a train track set. Olivia smiled at her daughter and swiped the teddy bear away. "Where'd it go?" Summer smiled and shook her head. She pushed herself to her feet and started walking over to Olivia. "El, look."
Elliot looked over and smiled as he watched Summer walk over to Olivia and look for the bear. Olivia handed it to her and kissed her head. "She's growing up."
Olivia smiled at him. "Don't make me cry." Elliot laughed. The phone rang. "Do you want to get it?"
Elliot smiled and grabbed the phone behind him. "Yeah, sure." He answered the phone. "Elliot Stabler."
"El, man I'm glad you picked up. Look, Casey went into labor. My phone is about to die. I need you to call my parents and tell them we're at the hospital. They'll call Casey's parents. Casey broke her phone." Fin said.
"How'd she break her phone?" Elliot asked.
Fin sighed. "She sat on it."
"I'll call them." Elliot chuckled. "We'll meet you there."
"Okay, thanks." Fin said before hanging up.
Elliot hung up his phone and looked at Olivia. "We gotta go." He stood up and picked up Dickie.
"Why? What's going on?" Olivia asked playing with Summer.
"Casey went into labor. Fin and her are at the hospital." Elliot smiled. Olivia was upstairs with Summer in a flash with Beethoven chasing after them. Elliot laughed and went upstairs to find Olivia ready by the front door. "Someone's excited."
"Well, duh! It's their child. They'll won't even tell me what they're having." Olivia whined. Summer squealed. "She's even excited."
Elliot laughed. "Well, let's go." They went out to the car and Elliot drove them to the hospital. Olivia darted to the elevators and impatiently waited for Elliot. He couldn't help but laugh at her eagerness. When they got up to the right floor, they walked to the waiting room. Fin walked in a few moments later. "Hey Fin."
"Hey." Fin breathed. "I don't care what they say. Labor is labor. It doesn't get better." He sat down next to them. "Casey's parents just got here. They're talking to her right now."
"How is Casey doing?" Olivia asked keeping an eye on Summer.
"She is a pain. I mean, she's in pain. The doctor gave me a special glove because she was getting close to breaking my hand." Fin sighed. "I can't complain though. I'm going to be a dad again."
"Nothing beats the feeling." Elliot smiled putting his arm around Olivia. She smiled and laid her head on his shoulder. Elliot looked at his daughter. "Summer, what are you doing?"
Summer looked over at him from the donut cabinet and smiled. She started babbling in her own little language. Dickie walked over and reached for the donut cabinet. "Daddy?"
Elliot laughed and stood up. "Do you want a donut?"
"Please!" Dickie pleaded and smiled when he got one. Summer frowned at Elliot.
Elliot laughed. "I'm sorry Summer. You can't have those yet." He picked her up and carried her over to the chairs. He pulled out her bottle and fed her. "Poor girl. She's tempted so much. First, Mommy's pancakes and now donuts."
Olivia laughed. "How are you holding up?"
"I'm doing okay." Fin smiled. "I can't wait to meet the baby."
"C'mon!" Olivia whined.
Fin laughed. "I'm sorry Liv. We're not telling anybody. You just have a few hours left."
"But, it has been months of torture." Olivia said.
"Oh Liv." Fin chuckled. "I should get back to Casey. I'll see you guys later." With that, Fin walked out of the room and down the hallway. Elliot looked over at Olivia and laughed.
"What?" Olivia asked.
"Are you pouting?" Elliot asked.
Olivia smirked evily. "No Daddy."
Elliot laughed and kissed Olivia's forehead. "Hey, when did you want to go shopping for Dickie's birthday present?"
"Um, I don't know. We could go sometime next weekend." Olivia shrugged.
"I'm going to be at the lab next weekend." Elliot shook his head.
"Again? You were gone doing that last weekend." Olivia asked. "I guess we could go the weekend after that. I can help Sarah school shop."
"I can't believe Dickie is going to be three." Elliot said looking at Dickie. He was coloring a book on the table. "I can't believe Summer is going to be one soon."
Olivia wiped her eyes. "I told you not to make me cry earlier." She kissed Summer's head. "Yeah, I told him, didn't I?"
Just then, Casey's parents walked in with William. "Dickie!"
"Will!" Dickie yelled and hugged William.
"I going to be a big brother." William smiled. He walked over to Olivia and Elliot. "Hey Summer!" Summer squealed and reached out to William. "You have pink on."
"That's right, Will." Elliot smiled. "Are you excited to be a big brother?" William nodded. "I bet."
A few hours later, Summer was asleep in Elliot's arms. Dickie was asleep in Olivia's. William was sleeping in his grandfather's arms. And Olivia, she was almost asleep leaning against Elliot. "What time is it?"
"Almost eight." Elliot yawned. "The suburban is going to be an oven." His phone rang. Elliot took it out and answered it. "Elliot Stabler."
"Hey El!" DJ said through the phone.
"Crap! Sorry DJ, I totally forgot to call you. A friend of ours went into labor this afternoon. We're been here ever since." Elliot groaned.
"That's okay. I was just calling you to tell you I can't make it either. Kathy has a girls' night tonight so I'm stuck on Daddy duty." DJ smiled.
Elliot chuckled. "Good luck. At least, Martin is four."
"Yeah, but he loves cookies and he finds them everytime we move them." DJ laughed. "Plus, Carmela has been sick all day. I bet your kids are bored out of their minds."
"Yeah, they fell asleep about a half hour ago." Elliot laughed. "Well, I'll talk to you tomorrow. See ya DJ."
"Bye El." DJ chuckled and hung up.
Elliot put his phone in his pocket and smiled at Olivia who was jerking awake. "Everytime we are here, you are falling asleep."
"Last time we were here, William was being born and I was pregnant. This time, we have two kids that require our constant attention. I have a very good excuse." Olivia mumbled.
Alex and John walked in then. "Hey guys!"
Olivia sat up. Elliot grinned. "Hey guys! Where have you guys been?"
"John had work. I had a meeting. How's my goddaughter?" Alex smiled.
"She's tired, like her mother." Olivia smiled. "Why don't you and John have a child? That way my daughter isn't smothered everytime you come around."
"Like I have said, John and I don't want to deal with the responsibillities of a child. It may change later; but for now, my mind is not changing." Alex said and sat down on John's lap. John kissed her.
"Hey guys!" A voice said softly from the doorway. Everybody turned to see Fin walk in with a blue blanket wrapped around his son. "Meet Kenny Tracy Tutuola."
"Ah!" Olivia smiled as they all walked over to Fin. Kenny was passed around to everyone. "He's so cute."
"He was born at seven thirty- eight. He was seven pounds, thirteen ounces." Fin smiled proudly.
"Congradulations Fin! Say hi to Casey for us. We'll probably come by tomorrow." Elliot smiled.
Fin grinned. "Okay." He looked down. "Hey Will! Should we go see Mommy?"
"Yeah!" William smiled and took Fin's free hand.
Elliot turned to Olivia. "Should we go home?"
Olivia nodded and yawned. She picked up Dickie. "We are going into hibernation."
Please review! You guys are the best! Welcome Kenny!
