One Thing Led To Another: The Sequel

Epilogue

Olivia woke up to screaming from her now 18 year old daughter. "Baby do something." Elliot mumbled. "I know, she's gonna wake up the twins." Olivia got up and went to Ella's room. "Ella Serena quiet down!" "Mom! It's my graduation day!!!" She jumped up. Olivia smiled "I know pumpkin but you're gonna wake up your baby sister and brother, and your father and I just put them down a few hours ago." "Okay mom, sorry." Ella hugged her and kissed her cheek.

Olivia smiled "Go get ready, come get me when you need me to do your hair." "Okay mama." Olivia tapped her nose and walked to the twins bedroom. She walked in, and looked at the two 1 year olds. Abigail (Abby) Mia and Christopher (Chris) Don Stabler were born February 2nd a year ago. Olivia bent down and kissed the two of them.

"My two little babies." She whispered. She carefully tucked them in and walked out. She made her way to Ben's room and opened it. She looked at the mini version of Elliot sleeping, Olivia sat on his bed and kissed his forehead. "I don't know what I would have done if I ever lost you in that accident." She whispered and ran her fingers through his hair lightly.

His eyes opened and showed his ocean blue eyes. "Mom?" the now 14 year old boy said. "Hey handsome." "What's up?" "Nothing, just thinking." She kissed his head. He nodded and closed his eyes. "You protected me that day." He whispered. "How did you know?" "Dad told me. He said you had your arm around your stomach, and you protected your stomach from getting hit or anything." Olivia smiled "Yeah, I guess I did. Go back to sleep, I'll wake you up when it's time to get up." "Okay mom." Olivia got up and walked towards the room she shared with Elliot.

He was laying on his stomach, the blanket covering his naked figure. She got into bed and wrapped her arm around his back, she kissed his shoulder. He turned his head and smiled. "Last night was amazing babe." He pulled her close and rubbed their noses together. She smiled "Mmm it was." She kissed his cheek "Our little girl graduates today." "I don't know if I can let that happen." He joked and chuckled. "What are you gonna do about it El?" Olivia laughed.

"Might just have to keep her home for her entire life." Olivia smiled "Are we getting old?" "Nah, the kids are just getting old. You my lady are still very young and very very sexy." He kissed her neck. "El, not this you always leave marks." "Mmm gotta let everyone know your mine." She laughed "Don't worry I only have my eyes set on one man." "And I only have my eyes set on one woman." He kissed her nose.

She smiled "Can you believe it, 16 years of marriage, 4 beautiful children, and many more years to come." "Definitely baby, our love is never burning down." "Good." She pecked his lips and got up.

"Livvvvvvvy why'd you get up." He whined. Olivia held up her fingers counting down from 3 to 1 then heard the cries of Abby. Olivia smirked and walked to the nursery. She picked up Abby and carried her to the room. "Shhh Abby, mama is right here. It's okay." She cooed in the little girls ear. Abby looked up at her mama "Stinky." Olivia laughed, this was Abby's way of saying she needed a diaper change. 

"Stinky mama." Abby giggled. "I heard you baby, want mama or dada to change it?" "Dada!!!" Olivia smiled, Abby was definetly a daddy's girl. Olivia walked to her room "El, diaper duty." "Oh goody." He slipped sweatpants on and grabbed Abby. "Dada!" She squealed. "Hi baby girl. Let's get you changed." He went to change her. Olivia walked to the nursery and picked up Chris who was wide awake and sucking on his thumb.

Olivia smiled "Hey baby boy. Is your thumb good?" He nodded and kept sucking on his thumb. Olivia smiled "How about we get some food in you?" He nodded and rubbed his stomach "Food." He grinned. She laughed "I know baby, you love food." She walked to the kitchen and sat him in his high chair. "Okay buddy today you can't get baby food everywhere and especially on mama." He tilted his head and looked at her.

She laughed "Food goes in here and right here." She tickled his stomach. He giggled "Ma!" Olivia smiled and soon enough the all the kids and Elliot were in the kitchen having a relaxing breakfast before the big event. Ella sat at her vanity while her mom curled her hair. "I'm gonna miss you Ella." "I'm gonna miss you too mama. I'll make sure to come atleast once every two weeks." "Good." Olivia kissed her forehead.

"All done beautiful, before you get your cap and gown on. I want to give you something." "What is it mama?" Olivia pulled a small box out of her pocket and held a necklace up "It's my necklace your daddy gave me when we first started being partners. It's fearlessness, I want you to have it. Then I want you to give it to your daughter and keep it passing it through the generations."

"Mom I...I can't take this. What about Abby?" "Don't worry, I have another thing I will be giving to her on her graduation. But this is what I want to give to you. Cherish it baby, wear it with pride and always be fearless." Ella hugged her mom tight "Thank you mama." "Your welcome baby." Olivia teared up "My baby is all grown up." Olivia sniffled.

Ella smiled "Mom no crying." "I'll try not to. But I think you should worry more about your dad." They laughed. The rest of the family got ready and rushed out for the day, the next hours were spent cheering on Ella, by the end when Ella had gotten her diploma, Elliot and Olivia had both shed some tears.

The crowd was filled with all Maureen and her husband with their 2 kids, Kathleen and her husband and their one child. Lizzie and her fiancé, and Dickie and his girlfriend. Cragen and Liz had arrived and sat in their reserved seats right by Olivia and Elliot. Alex and Munch had came with their 3 kids, Casey and Fin with their 2 kids.

As Ella had gotten on stage all of them had stood up and cheered on the girl that everyone thought of as a daughter. Ella smiled and looked at her dad, she saluted him and blew a kiss. He smiled and saluted her back. "That's my daughter!" He yelled. Olivia hit him in the stomach "El!" He laughed and kissed her. "You would have done it if I didn't." "Yeah, your right." She laughed.

He smiled and wrapped one arm around her waist. "I love you." "I love you more beautiful." He kissed her. She smiled.

It was around 11 o'clock when Olivia and Elliot made it back home with the two sleeping babies and a very tired 14 year old. Elliot carried the two twins to their cribs and tucked them in, kissing their foreheads and whispering 'I love you's to both of them.

He walked to Ben's room and kissed his head "Night Benson Stabler." He laughed quietly at the name "Best name for the best kid." He saw a smile form on his sons face. Elliot smiled and walked to the living room where Olivia sat in front of the fireplace, and a white fur blanket covering her. Elliot sat beside her and held her against him. "I love you baby." He kissed the spot behind her ear. "Mmm I love you." She smiled.

He smiled "One kid down three more to go." "4 more to go." She whispered. "4? Babe we only have 4 ki- wait. Are you pregnant?" "Bingo." He smiled and put his hand over her stomach "Another baby."

She smiled "5 kids and 16 years of marriage with the perfect man." "I wouldn't want life any other way." "To a never burning love." "A never burning love." They shared a sweet passionate kiss and cuddled in front of the fire.

End.
