"She is not a fit mother, She doesn't have a place to live." Alex argued. They have been in court for about and hour. She was trying her hardest to get custody for Elliot and Maureen.
"She has a job, she just needs to find a place to live." Kathy lawyer argued.
"She tricked Maureen's father into thinking they where still together. He suffered a concussion and memory loss and she tried to trick him. God only knows what she is tell Maureen" Alex spoke looking at the judge.
"She was thinking about what was best for her daughter, she deserves to have both of her parents" Kathy's lawyer said as he stared daggers at Alex.
"Alright, I have heard enough from the lawyers. Now I want to hear from Maureen. Not that where she wants to be makes a difference. She not at the age where she can decide." The judge ordered. Soon Maureen was being brought into the court room by a bailiff. She walked over and sat on the witness stand.
"Hello Maureen" Alex said as she walked up to her. Maureen got a huge smile on her face.
"Hi aunt Alex" She smiled. Olivia smiled as she sat next to Elliot. She was rubbing her thumb over his hands trying to calm him.
"Do you like living with your daddy?" Alex asked.
"Yes, I love living with daddy!" She smiled and waved over at Olivia.
"How do you like living with your mommy?" Alex asked.
"I miss my daddy and mommy when I'm with herb " Maureen said.
"Maureen, who is your mom, in you eyes. Can you please point at her?" Alex asked. This was the moment of truth. Maureen took a second and looked over at Kathy then to Olivia. She smiled wide before she pointed her finger at Olivia.
"That's my mommy" She stated. Olivia's eyes filled with tears as Maureen pointed to her instead of Kathy. Elliot looked over at Olivia and smiled. Even Alex was getting teary eyed as Maureen pointed at Olivia.
"Who do you want to live with?" Alex asked.
"I want to live with Daddy and Mommy and the baby" Maureen smiled. This caused Olivia and Elliot to look at each other smiling. Elliot put his hand on Olivia's swollen stomach.
"Thank you Maureen" Alex smiled as she walked over to her seat.
"So Maureen, You don't love your mommy?"
"Objection!" Alex said standing up.
"I'll rephrase the question. Maureen you love your mommy right?"
"Yes, but she was mean to daddy and mommy" Maureen said.
"You don't care at all that you may never see your mommy again?"
"Objection! Your honor, he hasn't asked any relevant questions" Alex stated.
"I agree, Maureen you may step down." Maureen got up and walked over and sat down.
"Judging by the evidence from both parties I have decided to grant full custody of Maureen Stabler too" Elliot and Olivia where holding their breath. Elliot was holding Olivia close, Alex was praying that they get her. The judge took a breath. "Elliot Stabler, this case is dismissed" Olivia was smiling and so was Elliot.
"Daddy!" Maureen said as she ran into his arms.
"I love you Maureen" He smiled pulling her close.
"Mommy" Maureen said as Olivia opened her arms.
"I love you so much Maureen" Olivia kissed her head.
"Can we go home now?" Maureen asked.
"Of course we can sweetie" Olivia smiled. They walked over and said their thank you's to Alex and then they headed out of the court house.
"Elliot" Kathy said catching them on the stairs.
"What?" He said as he looked over at her. Olivia was hold Maureen's hand and they where standing behind him.
"I'm sorry, you all are happy" She breathed in defeat.
"Thank you" He breathed as he looked back at his family. Olivia gave him a reassuring smile. She took his hand and gave it a squeeze.
"See you around Kathy" He said before he turned around and walked away. Kathy stood there and watched him walk away. She knew that he was happy and that was probably the last time she would see him. She sighed as she watched him leave her sight.
"Maur, Are you ready for bed yet?" Olivia called as she and Elliot headed into Maureen's room.
"Yeah, almost" Maureen said from the bathroom.
"Well Daddy and I are waiting, we have to ask you something" Olivia smiled looking over at Elliot. He leaned over and kissed her forehead.
"I'm here" Maureen said as she walked into her room. She went and snuggled into bed. Only her head was showing.
"So do you want to hear our question?" Elliot asked smiling down at his oldest child. She nodded her head franticly.
"We want to move into a new house! Would you want to do that?" Olivia asked carefully.
"Really?" Maureen asked smiling.
"Really" Elliot smiled.
"I would love it! Then the baby can have it own room" She smiled.
"We were hoping you would want too" Olivia kissed her forehead.
"I can't wait" Maureen smiled.
"Get some sleep sweetie" Elliot kissed her forehead.
"Love you Mommy, Love you Daddy" Maureen murmured before falling asleep.
"Today was a great day" Elliot said pulling Olivia close. She snuggled into his chest.
"It was" She smiled. She was thinking about earlier today when she went to the doctor about the baby. The baby was very healthy, but she hadn't told Elliot what the doctor had said. She wanted to wait until they knew if they got Maureen or not. She put her hand on her abdomen and felt Elliot's go over hers.
"So you really want to get a new house?" Elliot asked her.
"Of course we are going to need at least five rooms" She smiled, she was going to tell him, by surprise.
"Five? Why five?" Elliot asked.
"Our room, guest room and then Maureen and the baby's" She said trying to hide her smile.
"Babies? Olivia you are only having one. You want another one already?" He asked, he was not catching on.
"We are already having another one" She breathed.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"We are having twins. The doctors couldn't tell that there was two heartbeats. They must have thought it was mine, but baby we are having twins!" Olivia smiled. Elliot looked at her and a huge grin appeared on his face. He pulled her closer and pulled her into a heated kiss.
"That is amazing! You are amazing, I love you so much Olivia Benson. You have made me one lucky man" He kissed her again. " We are having twins" He said again.
"I know!"
"This has been quite a day" He smirked.
"I cant wait for us to move" She said as she put her hand on her stomach.
"I cant wait for us to be married and the babies to come along so we can extend the family" He smiled as he leaned down and kissed her stomach.
"I love you El" Olivia breathed as she kissed him before snuggling into his chest as her hand rested on his heart.
"I love you too Liv" He kissed her head and his hand went over hers. They both fell asleep with smiles on their faces, today had been a very exciting day for the Stabler family.
