And in the beginning..There was you!!!

45

(Elliot just listen as his kids fight and bicker over the phone.  Kathleen ends up hushing everyone telling them how much of an ass they are. A few seconds pass before he hears a small voice not belonging to his older kids.)

Noah: Elliot did you find them? Are they ok? Can I talk to my mom?

Elliot: Hey bud. Yes, I found them and they all are doing just fine. Mom is resting right now and so are the twins.

Noah: Can I come to see them?

Elliot: We're not close to home, but we should be home in two days. But the good news is that the twins will be able to come home too.

Noah: (pouts) I really want to see them for myself.

Elliot: I know buddy. How about once Mom wakes up I can take a picture and send it to you guys?

Noah: (sigh) I guess.

Elliot: OK, can you put Kathleen back on the phone for me?

Noah: Here Katie.

(Elliot feels bad that Noah is sad, but he promised he was going to call him when his mom wakes up.)

Kathleen: Hey Dad.

Elliot: What is Noah doing with you guys?

Kathleen: Oh, we're actually at your place. We didn't want Noah to feel alone so we all packed some things and came here. Maureen brought the boys so that's keeping him occupied at the moment.

Elliot: (smiles) I love you guys so much. Thank you for looking out for him, I can only imagine what's going through his head.

Kathleen: He is a very smart kid Dad.

Elliot: Yeah, look I need to go one of the twins is waking up.

Kathleen: I can't believe you have another set of twins.

Elliot: Yeah well you know your old man.

Kathleen: That's gross dad, talk to you later and send pictures, please.

Elliot: (chuckle) I wish, tell everyone goodnight.

(He hangs up and gets up to go tend to one of the twins. He picks up his daughter and rocks her gently as she squirms making a pouting face.)

Elliot: God you look just like your mom when you do that.

Olivia: El?

(He turns his head so fast he almost gives himself whiplash. He holds his daughter closer as makes his way to Olivia.)

Elliot: Liv!

Olivia: Where?

Elliot: You're in the hospital.

Olivia: What happened? The last thing I remember was feeling lightheaded in the ambulance. (touches her stomach) Is she ok?

(Elliot's mind still trying to catch up to the fact that's she's awake and talking like nothing happened.)

Elliot: Umm yeah she's fine. Our son is ok too, they are both five pounds and have healthy lungs.

Olivia: (lips quiver) I thought I wasn't going to make it. I couldn't fight back like I wanted to because I didn't want to hurt them. Then I went into labor, then you showed up and god El why do bad things seem to happen to us?

Elliot: I don't know, but I'm so glad that you guys are ok.

(He places his forehead to hers as they take in the events from the last two days. He pulls back and kisses her forehead before kissing her lips.)

Olivia: She is so tiny. El we did a good job huh?

Elliot: We did. But I think our son sleeps like you.

(She chuckles as the baby grunts again and a small cry fills the room. At the same time, Elliot's phone goes off showing Fin calling.)

Olivia: I think someone is hungry.

Elliot: Here are you ok to hold her? Fin just texted, let me see what they have.

Olivia: Yeah, just sit me up some.

(He helps her raise the bed some just as her doctor comes in.)

Doctor: Mrs. Stabler your awake.

Olivia: (looks confused) Uh yes, I just woke up maybe ten minutes ago.

(The cries get louder which wakes their son.)

Elliot: I think it's feeding time.

Doctor: I'll page the nurse to come help while I check Mrs. Stabler's vitals.

(Olivia gives Eliot a knowing look before a smile spreads on her face.)

Olivia: Stabler huh?

Elliot: (shrugs his shoulders) I mean why not?

Olivia: We will talk about that later.

(The doctor checks her vitals giving her a thumbs up and leaves the room. The nurse comes and assists her in breastfeeding the twins. She refused the bottle because she wanted them to have the best and get stronger. It takes two hours but they both are fed, changed, and cradled by their parent's arms.)

Elliot: You're amazing you know that.

Olivia: I've been told a time or ten. So what did Fin say?

Elliot: He said that some officers will be here tomorrow to talk to you, and you have to give a statement back home. I can't wait to get you all home. (takes out his phone) Oh, I was supposed to call Noah back when you woke up.

Olivia: Great, I really don't want to relive that horrible moment. I just want to enjoy my family and love them.

(He dials Kathleen and she answers on the first ring.)

Kathleen: Is she awake?

Elliot: Yeah, put him on.

(He hands the phone to Olivia.)

Noah: Mommy.

Olivia: (almost cries) Hey sweet boy.

Noah: Are you ok? I asked Elliot but I need to know for myself.

Olivia: I'm ok baby, just some bumps and bruises but I'm ok.

Noah: I can't wait for you all to get home.

Olivia: I can't wait either sweetie.

Noah: I want to see the twins. Can you send a picture of them?

Olivia: Yeah Elliot is about to take some in a minute and he will send them to you ok?

Noah: OK, I know it's past my bedtime, will you call me in the morning?

Olivia: Of course and hopefully they let me go in two days.

Noah: OK, tell Elliot and the babies goodnight.

Olivia: He heard you bunny, goodnight I'll call you in the morning.

(She hangs up.)

Elliot: I better get pictures before Kathleen calls again.

Olivia: Is Noah with them?

Elliot: Yeah, they didn't want him to be alone, so they camping out at our place.

Olivia: Aww that was sweet of them.

Elliot: OK why don't you hold them both and I'll snap some pictures. Babe we really need to name them, we can't keep calling them babies or them.

(Olivia laughs a little trying not to wake the sleeping babies in her arms. Elliot snaps a few pictures and sends them to Kathleen. Exhausted, the twins woke to eat again before they all passed out for the night.)
