Give a Little Bit Chapter 11, a law and order: svu fanfic

Olivia paced outside the courtroom with her brother. Rebecca had gone into labor during her testimony and was with Kait at the hospital. Olivia and Michael would join her as soon as the verdit was read. Elliot watched his very pregnant wife. She had managed to keep cool during cross, and may very well have won the case. They'd opted to be outside of the room when the verdict was read so they could talk, call and check on Rebecca, and talk to Lizzie and Dickie. He'd gone by Rick for a time, but it didn't stick, and had gone back to Dickie.

"Liv," Elliot said, taking her hand. "Sit down, please, honey?"

"I can't sit still."

"You'll go into early labor again if you don't calm down. Allie was 3 weeks early. Please, for me?"

"Fine," she grumbled, allowing him to help her into a seat.

"Think we should choose a last name for all of us? Make our own family line?" Michael thought it over. "Can't be Schwatz, that's for damn sure."

"So, you guys have a name picked out?"

"Oh, careful, entering a war zone there, pal." Michael laughed. He knew that it was a bad time, but it would take their minds off of the situation they were in.

"Ah. Can't agree. What are your kids' full names again?"

"Maureen Rebecca, Kathleen Olivia, Richard Elliot, Elizabeth Dawn, and Allison Paige." Michael jotted down the enitials.

"And you two?"

"Elliot Patrick, and Olivia Dawn." Michael thought for a few minutes.

"Maureen, Kathleen, Lizzie, Dickie, Allie, and Elijah, or Emily."

"Eli and Emmy?"

"You know what?" Elliot said to his wife. "I like those. Elijah Paul and Emily Madelyn"

"E.P.S. and E.M.S. That's great." Olivia laughed. "Cruel, but its-"

"Elliot, Olivia," Casey said rushing from the court room. "We have a verdict."

"Well?"

"Hi, baby," Olivia said to her new nephew, Alexander. Rebecca held him for only a minute before she handed him over. A social worker would be in later to discuss a few options. "I'm Aunt Olivia. Oh, look at those big brown eyes. Just like mommy and all her sisters and brother. You are a handsome guy."

"Can you take him out of here?" Rebecca requested. Olivia nodded lightly and left the room. The family reunion that was going on in the waiting room was more appealing to her anyway.

"Hey, wife," Elliot said, kissing her. "Today is a good day!"

"I can't believe that 15 years of investigating brought me here. I'm not an only child, and that sick sonuva bitch is going to get the death penalty," Olivia said quietly. "El, its finally over."

"This part is. Now, we need to get back to work on other cases that have piled up in my in box, you've got computer fraud it dig into and we both have to get the nursery ready for the baby." Olivia rolled her eyes as she bounced the littlest member of the family.

"Mom," Kathleen said softly. "Is Rebecca really giving him up?"

"Yeah, honey. She wants him to have a home with two parents who can love him," Olivia said, looking at the little guy.

"Rose and I have been talking a lot, and, while its a little sooner than we planned, we want to adopt him." Elliot's jaw dropped. "Rose was offered a really good position working from home for Microsoft. She'll have to fly into Seattle once a month for a day or so, but I can take those days off work." Elliot felt pride rising in his chest. "And Rebecca will never have to wonder where her baby went, or if she can see him. We'll raise him knwoing who she is, if she wants."

"Are you both sure about this?"

"Yes," Rose said. Olivia nodded and handed Rose the baby.

"I'll talk to Rebecca before the social worker does." Olivia wandered back through the corridors and into the room. Rebecca was crying softly. "Hey," she said softly.

"Hi."

"I was wondering if you still wanted to do this. I have a couple here, who would love to take him as soon as he's medically cleared. Open adoption, and they'll allow you to visit any time, day or night if you want?"

"Who...?"

"Kathleen and Rose." Rebecca's eyes filled. "They really do want him, and they know everything about him, seeing as Kathleen is your niece."

"I...yes. If they can give him a good home and a good future, then I approve," Rebecca said softly. Olivia hugged her gently over her very pregnant belly.

"I'll talk to some of my lawyer friends and get the paperwork started."

"Thank you, Olivia."

"Any time, little sister."

The first month as a grandfather was interesting for Elliot. He came to his desk at the 1-6 to find cigars, over-sized eyeglasses, and an old worn cane. Cragen was at the head of the jokes until Elliot pointed out that if he was a gandfather, than Cragen was a great-grandfather after only being a father for a year. The older man closed himself in the office for the day. As there was way too much going on towards the end of March, they postponed Allie's second birthday party until the end of the trial. After the trial, they were all busy with adoption papers, work, the giant new family Olivia found herself with, and the empending birth of the next Stabler. And to add to the stress Rebecca had taken off. She wanted nothing to do with her siblings any more; it was just a painful reminder that she was born from evil, and her children were as well. She left, no note, no forwarding adress, and no one was surprised.

Elliot had taken to going in to work by 6:00 am, and going home at 3:00, when he could be with Olivia, who was suffering insomnia, and could only sleep from 4:00am to around noon due to the 8 pound soccer player giving her kidney kicks all night.

"Liv?" Fin whispered. He gave up, waved a hand and rejoined Allie's second birthday party. "Elliot, dude, she's out cold."

"Finally. She barely gets any sleep lately."

"So, she's nearly 2 and a half."

"Two years and 2 months. Get over yourself."

"She still gets a party, Fin," Munch said while Allie poked at his cheek. "What are you doing, Monkey?"

"Hi John," she said.

"Hi Monkey."

"Come here, Pumpkin," Don said, taking the baby. "Its almost time for cake, Little One. Do you want cake?"

"Yep."

"She's so smart, Elliot," Fin said, tickling the little girl.

"Yeah, she's a real brain. Go wake up Mommy GENTLY!" Don set her on her feet and Allie scampered over to the couch.

"Momma...Momma!"

"Hi baby." Olivia maneuvered herself over to the table and hoisted the toddler onto her lap. After a few tries, Elliot decided to hold the little girl; Liv's belly was far too much to leave room for Allie. Gathered around the table, Olivia saw all the people in her life that she held dear; Elliot, Allie, Lizzie, Maureen and Dickie were seated around the table. Rose and Kathleen stood back with their son, Alexander. Gathered behind the table were Michael and his new wife and son, Kaitlyn and her husband and children, Jordan and McKensie, who at 5, was so impressed that she had so many older brothers and sister, Alyssa, who was now 4 months pregnant with Olivia's youngest brother, who was already named Harrison. And then she looked into the eyes of her first family. Don was lighting the candles on the cake, while Fin put the party hats on whomever was in reach, and John went after a light switch.

They all sang, mostly off key, and Allie blew out the candles.

"Did you make a wish?"

"Yep."

"What did you wish for?"

"Cake." The group laughed at the toddler. Olivia was still off in her own little world, smiling to herself.

"You okay Olivia?" Elliot asked.

"Its her birthday, but I'm the one who's wish came true."

"What wish, Babe?"

"I have such a huge family. I've always wanted a big family."

"You're last name was Benson, right?" Olivia nodded. "I was Kait Nelson, there's Rebecca Nylans, Michael Taylor, Harry Edmonds, and McKensie Eddington. B. N. N. E. E. T. Those are our combine initials, right?"

"And?

"I think I came up with a family name for us. Bennet. Benson, Edmonds, Nelson, Nylans, Eddington, and Taylor. Bennet."

"So we have a family name now," Olivia said, smiling.

"Now we have a family name."
