A/N- This is a pretty short update but I wanted to get something up. I hope y'all like it. And I think I forgot to mention that the only person that knows about Elliot are Alex and he WAS NOT at Noah's birthday party.


Olivia has been in the waiting room for two hours now and hadn't hears anything about Alex. Matt is with the twins in the nursery and Elliot came by to pick up Noah ad take him to the babysitter's.

It's another twenty minutes before a doctor walks into the waiting room.

"Family of Alex Casey?"

By now, everybody from the party, except Elliot, has joined Olivia in the waiting room. They all stood up and walked toward the doctor. Matt in the first to speak.

"How is she?" He asked, his voice full of worry.

"She just got out of surgery-"

"Surgery?! Why surgery?!" Matt asked frantically.

"She started to hemorrhage. We had to go in and stop the bleeding." The doctor explained.

The group stands there in shock until Olivia speaks up.

"But when we came in they checked her out and said she was fine." She said, slightly angry.

"I understand that, but signs of hemorrhaging might not show up until hours after birth." He explains slowly.

"Is she okay?" Cragen asked next.

"Yes. The surgery went well and she hadn't lost a ton of blood. She isn't awake yet so only one person can stay with her a-"

"I will." Matt said quickly.

"Okay. If you'll follow me."

As the doctor led Matt away, Elliot walked through the door.

"Dear God. If it isn't Elliot Stabler!" Fin said, giving Elliot a manly hug.

"Please don't ask why he is here." Olivia thought.

"What are you doing here, man?"

"Damn him"

"I came to see a uh friend." Elliot said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Nice going El..."

"A friend huh?" Melinda asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Do I have to fix everything?!"

"Guys...Elliot is here to see his girlfriend." Olivia says.

Everybody looks at Elliot.

"And who is this girlfriend of yours?" Cragen asks, the fatherly side of him coming out.

"Uh.." Elliot hesitates as he looks at the group of people standing before him and then to Olivia.

This is the exact reason why Elliot didn't go to Noah's birthday party. They didn't want anybody to know yet. Olivia takes a nervous breath before speaking.

"I am." She says.

Everybody turns to look at Olivia.

"You?" Melinda asks.

Olivia just nods.

"Benson and Stabler are together? It's about damn time!" Munch spoke for the group.

"Did I just hear the Benson and Stabler are together?" A familiar voice asks.

The group turns around to see none other than Casey Novak standing before them.

"Casey?" Olivia asks in disbelief.

"That would be me." She says.

It wasn't until then that they noticed the little redhead girl hiding behind Casey's leg.

"Casey. Do you mind introducing us?" Cragen said, pointing to the little girl.

"Come here baby." Casey encourages the little girl.

The toddler cautiously steps out from behind Casey's legs with her thumb in her mouth.

"Can you say hi to everybody?" Casey asks her.

She let's go of Casey's leg just long enough to give a small wave and then cling back to Casey.

"She's a little shy." Casey said, placing her hand on the toddler's back.

"She's cute." Melinda said with a smile.

"Who is she Case?" Elliot asked.

"This is Katie...my daughter."


I hope y'all liked this chapter. I hope to have the next chapter up before the end of the week!
