Please review! I love you guys! HAPPY 80TH CHAPTER!

"Kathy is getting married." DJ blurted out as he and Elliot sat on a bench at the park. Carmela and Summer were playing on the playground while the dogs followed them.

Elliot coughed as the juice he was drinking went down the wrong pipe. He hit his chest with his fist. "What?" He choked out.

"Kathy is getting married." DJ repeated patting Elliot's back. "She's marrying Nigil's father."

"Well, I figured that." Elliot said. "Sorry DJ. Who is he?"

"Uh, Kurt something." DJ guessed. "He's a couple years older than Kathy I think." He looked at Elliot and sighed. "You've got it lucky, El."

Elliot smiled lightly. "Trust me. I know. When is she getting married?"

"Uh, I think in January. She wants a snowflake wedding I guess." DJ rolled her eyes. "Not that you'd care." He chuckled. "How's work been going?"

"It's going okay." Elliot nodded. "It takes a lot of restraint and strength to do this job. But, I get to do it with my wife. I get to protect her. There's a whole different side to her that I didn't know about until I saw her on the job. There's just more of her to love." He smirked. He looked at DJ for a moment. "Who's the girl?"

DJ scoffed. "What are you talking about?" He leaned back on the bench and watched as Elliot gave him a look that said 'I know'. "Okay, so there's a girl." Elliot chuckled. "It's Jesse the bartender down at Exile."

"What?!" Elliot asked. "How'd you get a date with her?"

"Oh thanks." DJ chuckled. "I was at the bar after taking Carmela over to Kathy's. She was working that night."

"The perfect story. I met my girlfriend at the bar. But, she wasn't drunk. She was the bartender." Elliot grinned. "That's a story you don't hear everyday."

"Shut up." DJ chuckled. He looked over at Carmela and smiled. "I guess I should get back to the house. Carmela said I have to play princess with her and I want ribs tonight."

Elliot laughed. "My daughter wants me to sing my goofy songs to her. Good luck."

Once they got home, Elliot lifted Summer out of her stroller. "Daddy?"

"Yes baby?" Elliot asked kissing her head. He scratched Beethoven's head as they went into the house.

Summer wrapped her arms around Elliot's neck. "I love you." She mumbled into his neck.

Elliot smiled. "I love you too, Murmur." He rubbed her back and watched as Beethoven ran into the living room where Dickie and Kendle were. He walked into the kitchen and grabbed Summer's sippy cup. "Here we go." He set her down on the counter. "What do you want to drink? Milk? Orange Juice? Apple Juice? Purne Juice?"

"Prune Juice?" Summer asked smiling.

"Prune juice it is." Elliot grinned.

Summer put up her hands. "No Daddy! No prune juice." Elliot smiled. "I want orange juice, please."

Elliot chuckled. "Okay." He filled up her sippy cup and gave it to her. He put the juice back in the fridge. He set her down on the floor and patted her butt. "Go play with your brothers."

Summer hurried to the living room as Olivia came into the kitchen. Olivia smiled and ran a hand through Summer's hair as she walked by. She smiled at Elliot. "How was your run?"

"Good." Elliot smiled and kissed her head. "Guess what DJ told me." Olivia looked at him. "Kathy is getting married."

"To a man?" Olivia asked. Elliot burst out laughing. "Sorry, I just find it hard to believe that she found a guy willing to marry her with all her baggage. Of course, she probably lied about some of that baggage." Elliot continued laughing. She chuckled at him. "Who is she marrying?"

"Nigil's father." Elliot wheezed out.

"At least it's a father to one of her children." Olivia pointed out. She patted Elliot's back. "Dickie is going to be five in two days."

"I know." Elliot breathed. "He'll have his second year of school this year." He rubbed her back and kissed her nose. "You're not going to get all emotional on his birthday again, are you?"

"No." Olivia said quietly while looking away from him. Elliot chuckled at her and pulled her to his chest.

Two days later, they wished Dickie happy birthday before going off to work. Cragen sent them out right away. They were told to bring in a Walter Jones. Elliot pulled up to the apartment building he lived in. "You ready?"

"Yep." Olivia breathed and got out of the car. They walked up the stairs to his door and knocked. "Mr. Jones?" She looked at Elliot after a moment. "He's here. The TV is on."

"Stand back." Elliot said. He backed up and kicked down the door. A shot fired. Walter Jones was pointing a gun at them from down the hall. Elliot held a hand to his stomach as the pain ripped through him. He leaned against the wall as Walter started running down the hall. Olivia lifted her gun and shot both of his legs. He fell onto the floor gasping.

"Elliot!" Olivia said getting down on her knees as he slid down to the floor. She looked into his eyes. "C'mon stay with me." She teared up and grabbed her radio. "We need a bus now! Officer down. Civilian is shot also shot."

"Buses are on the way. Stand by until further notice." A voice said through the radio.

Olivia took off her scarf and held it to Elliot's wound. "Liv,...I'm...fine."

"You're not fine. You're shot." Olivia breathed. She looked over to make sure Walter was still where she last saw him. He was gritting his teeth while gripping the rug on his floor. She made sure Elliot had a firm grib over his wound. She went over and kicked the gun away from Walter. "I think you should've just opened the door."

"You bitch! You shot me!" Walter wailed.

"You shot my partner." Olivia countered.

Soon, paramedics came in and took Elliot and Walter to the hospital. CSU took Walter and Olivia's gun for processing. Olivia hurried into Elliot's room when his surgery was done. She saw him laying in the bed with his shirt off. He smiled at her. "Thank god you're alright."

"Liv, I told you I was going to be fine." Elliot told her as she took his hand. He kissed the back of her hand. He looked into her eyes. "I'm not leaving you."

Olivia smiled lightly and dropped her forehead to his. "I know." She rubbed his hand with her thumb. "How you feeling?"

"I'm okay. I get to tell people that I've been shot now." Elliot smirked. He kissed her nose. "Did my mom call?"

"Yeah, she's hysterical." Olivia breathed. "I don't blame her. I almost broke down in the waiting room." She stroked the side of his face. "You scared me. I almost lost you. Cragen wants you to stay home for a while."

"What?" Elliot asked. "I want to go to work though."

Olivia laughed. "You'll get to spend the day with the kids. Your mom would probably come help you take care of them."

Elliot smirked. "Well, if I get to spend the day with our kids...I guess it won't be that bad." Olivia chuckled. "I get to tell Dickie when he gets older that I got shot on his birthday."

"He'd probably say that was cool when he's a teenager." Olivia smiled.

Please review! You guys are great! Make sure and try to watch Law & Order SVU. I know it's not as good without Elliot, but apparently it's at risk for being cancelled.
