A/N: Here is another story, which I will only continue if I have at least 8 reviews. Please read and review. Set- 4 years after season 9 finishes.
Disclaimer: Only own Amber and Tom.
Olivia Benson-Jenkins was driving home to Manhattan after three long years. In that time Olivia had gotten married to a doctor named Dr. Tom Jenkins and sixteen months after the wedding, Olivia informed her husband that she was pregnant with their first child. A girl. Amber Jaide Jenkins.
It was a snowy night and the roads were sleek with ice. Olivia was leaving her husband so she was very emotional. Tom had cheated on her and when she confronted him about the affair, he hit her so Olivia packed a bag for herself and Amber and took off.
Olivia was headed to home from New Jersey. The brunette's tears were starting to cloud her vision and she lost control on the slippery roads.
"Oh God...Oh God," Olivia whispered, frantically as she tried to regain control of the red SUV. "Please...Please...Please," she murmured.
The SUV was veering toward a building and luckily for Olivia and Amber the car was decreasing in speed.
The car hit the building on the driver's side, only causing a little damage. Olivia was blessed. She was unharmed, just tramatized. She turned around to look in the back seat and sighed in relief. Amber was still peacefully sleeping.
The mother unbuckled her seat belt and gently climbed in to the back seat, beside her baby girl.
Three month old Amber was breathing softly and slightly kicking her chubby little legs in her sleep, in her baby seat.
As Olivia watched her daughter sleeping softly, sucking on her light pink pacifier, she thought about her old best friend, Elliot Stabler and knew that he most probably still lived in Queens. She missed him so much.
Olivia grabbed her cell phone from the drink holder in the front. She found 'El cell' and pressed the call button. She just hoped that he wouldn't rip her a new one for calling at one in the morning.
"Stabler," Elliot mumbled, half asleep.
"Hi, El," Olivia replied, shyly.
Elliot sat up in his large king sized bed, in shock. "Liv?"
"Yes, El, it's me," Olivia confirmed, just seconds before Amber began to wail. Making her hunger known.
"Oh my God, Liv...Is that a baby crying?"
Olivia put her phone on speaker and unbuckled Amber from her baby seat. "Yes, El. It's my daughter...Shhhh, Amber, it's ok, princess...El, could you please come pick me up?" Olivia replied as she picked Amber up and lifted her shirt before moving her bra to nurse a hungry Amber.
"Where are you, Liv?" Elliot asked as he quickly got dressed.
"34th Street. I'm in a red SUV."
"Ok, Livvie. I'm on my way. Should be there in about twenty minutes," Elliot assured her as he rushed to his car.
"Thanks, El," Olivia replied and hung up before looking down at Amber, who was quietly suckling and looked up at her mother with her beautiful little brown eyes.
After a few moments of just silent mother and daughter bonding, Olivia spoke up.
"Hey pretty girl," she whispered with a smile.
Amber released her mother's nipple and giggled.
"What's so funny, sweetie?" Olivia asked, softly before lifting Amber up and sitting her on her knee, holding her securely with her tiny back facing her. "You got a burp for Mommy?" She asked as she gently patted Amber's back.
The infant let out a tiny baby belch and then protested her wet diaper. Olivia laid Amber down beside her on the seat and grabbed the diaper bag. She grabbed out a fresh diaper, baby wipes and baby powder.
"It's ok, sweetie," she whispered to her child as she unbuttoned the infant's pyjamas.

Just as Olivia re-buttoned up Amber's pyjamas, there was a knock on the back driver's side door. Olivia wiped some of the fog off the window to see Elliot standing there.
He waved as Olivia wrapped Amber up warmly in her purple blanket.
"You can open it, El," she said loud enough for him to hear as she picked the baby up.
Elliot opened the door. "Come on, Liv. I'll take you back to my place," he said as he picked up the diaper bag.
Olivia slid out of the back seat and Elliot closed the door behind her.
"Go take Amber to my car where it's nice and warm while I turned the engine off and get her seat, ok?," he said and caressed her arm.
Olivia nodded. "Thanks."
"No problem, Liv. Go get warm."
Olivia walked over to Elliot's car, holding Amber closely to keep her as warm as possible.
She got in and sat in the passenger seat, closing the door behind her immediately to keep the warmth from the car heater in.
Elliot turned the car engine off and got Amber's car seat before locking up the car and walking back to his own car.
He opened the back door and put in the car seat, making sure it was fastened in safely before turning to Olivia in the front passenger seat.
"Pass me Amber, honey."
Olivia gently turned around to face the back seat and passed Amber to Elliot, gently through the gap between the two front seats.
Elliot took the infant and delicately put her in to the baby car seat, buckling her in before closing the door and getting in the driver's seat.
"She's so beautiful, Liv...Why were you driving around so late at night anyway, especially with the roads like this?"
Olivia sighed. "My...my husband...he...ah...cheated on me and I confronted him about it. He then hit me so I packed a bag for myself and Amber and walked out. I'm going to divorce him," she explained.
Elliot gently rubbed the back of Olivia's neck to comfort her. "Aww, honey, I'm here for you. Come on, we'll go back to my apartment."
"You haven't got a crib for Amber to sleep in."
"We'll work something out for the rest of the night and I'll go see Kathy in the morning to get Eli's old crib."
Olivia nodded. "Thanks...Are you and Kathy divorced?"
"Yes...it didn't work out but we are still friends. I see the kids often though and I have shared custody of Eli. You'll see him on Friday afternoon."
"Ok," Olivia whispered and yawned.
Elliot started up the car and Olivia leaned back in the chair, resting her head on the head rest and falling asleep almost straight away. She was exhausted.
Elliot slightly smiled and pulled away from the curb. He was so happy to have Olivia back. His best friend. He'd missed her a lot.

When Elliot pulled up in front of his apartment building. He turned off the engine and unbuckled his seat belt.
"Wake up, Liv. We're home," Elliot whispered and caressed the brunette's slender thigh, clothed in grey sweat pants. He hadn't realized his slip up.
Olivia's coffee brown eyes fluttered open with a slight smile. She'd heard the slip-up.
Olivia unbuckled her seat belt and opened the door before opened the back passenger door.
"Hey baby girl," she whispered, seeing Amber wide awake in her seat. She unbuckled Amber from the seat and picked her up. "Come on, sweetie."
Elliot grabbed the diaper bag and locked up his car before following Olivia in to the apartment building.
They walked in to the elevator. "I live on the forth floor," Elliot said and pressed said button. "Is her stroller in the back of your car?"
Olivia raised her eyebrows. She'd totally forgotten. "Oh shit. It is. I totally forgot but it's ok I have one of those baby pouch carriers."
"Liv, we have to go back to your car when it's light out anyway so we can grab it then," Elliot said, just before the elevator doors opened on the forth floor.
"What number is your's, El?" She asked as they stepped out of the elevator.
"5D, Liv."
Olivia stopped at the door that said 5D and waited for Elliot to open the door as Amber continued to look up at her mother, sucking on her pink pacifier.
Elliot unlocked the apartment door. "Welcome to my humble abode," he joked as they walked in.
