The Stabler family were in the witness protection program. So the government paid for their huge house and almost everything else.

It was a bright summers day in Florida and like on most days like this Eli was in the pool and Elliot was cooking food on the barbeque while Olivia read a book. "Liv could you watch the food a minute. I'm supposed to call Huang so he can check in" Elliot asked and Olivia nodded walking to the barbeque. It was like a picture perfect family moment. "Mommy! Look I'm a big boy I can swim! I can swim!" Eli squeals and splashes swimming for the first time on his own.
"That's great baby but stay close to the wall" Olivia called back. Eli still wasn't swimming completely on his own since after all he was only 4 years old. He splashed and played. The food was starting to burn so Olivia quickly got it on plates. She turned back around to check Eli and to her horror he was no longer holding onto the swimming board that held him afloat. "Eli?!" she yelled hoping he got out until she saw the ripples of water where he was going under. There was no time. She jumped in and pulled him out. She immediately started CPR. Elliot walked out, dropping his phone in horror. He ran to them. Olivia continued as tears streamed down her face. Finally she sighed relieved when he coughed up some pool water. "That's it baby just let it all out OK" she said softly, taking him in her arms. In turn Elliot put his arms around them both. It was a close call. "Maybe we should get him to the hospital?" Olivia suggested, feeling Eli's shaken body against her.
"No. Let's just keep an eye on him for now. We can take him if he feels something's wrong" Elliot said and Olivia nodded. She got Eli dried and fed before bringing him to bed with her and Elliot. She turned on cartoons which soon bored Elliot to sleep.

After another while of spongebob Olivia decided it was time for Eli to try and sleep. She held him in her arms. Elliot had his arms around them both protectively. "Mommy? Will you sing to me?" Eli asked looking up at her innocently.
"Of course I can sweetheart" she said warmly and he nestled he head on her stomach as she sang softly and lovingly to him.

Son goes down and we are here together.
Fire flies glow like a thousand charms
Stay with me and you can dream forever right here in my arms tonight.

Soon Eli had drifted off into a peaceful sleep which in turn helped Olivia sleep peacefully.

Hope you enjoyed the first chapter. It's far from over for Eli. Also the song is from some Barbie movie it used to have my sister out like a light and it's cute but I don't own it. Anyway comment and lemme know what you think.
