Saviors [A SVU and Bensler Fan Fic]

[Chapter Ninety-Eight]

I tried to sleep while Meredith was getting more tests done, but all I could think about was her. I wanted to hold her again and I didn't want to be asleep when she was ready to be fed because then they might try to bottle feed her. Elliot went to get dinner with Serena, and while we waited for them to get back with dinner, Cynthia was making sure that everything was okay with Meredith. I was alone and sleep just didn't want to come.

Thankfully, a bit after I was supposed to have been sleeping, Fin brought Chris into my room.

"Momma!" Chris exclaimed and I smiled as I shifted over in my bed a bit so he could climb onto the bed. 

"Hey, baby. Have you been good for Fin?" I asked, and my son nodded.

"He let me handcuff Brian!" Chris giggled and I smiled. I helped him as much as possible onto the bed, but Fin had to help.

"He's a little cop in training." Fin smiled, as he walked around and hugged me.

"Well, thanks for getting him from school and watching him. I owe you big time."

"I'll keep that in mind." Fin smiled. He walked over and looked out the window of my room, as I wrapped my arms around my son. I kissed his soft red curls gently and smiled as he snuggled against my body.

"So, where is she?" He asked, and I smiled.

"She's getting some tests done. She should be back soon. Are you excited?"

"I'm so excited to be a big brother!" Chris exclaimed. I smiled again.

"You don't hate me for not telling you this morning, right?"

"Yeah, it was okay. Can I stay home tomorrow to spend time with Meredith?" He asked as he looked up at me. His eyes were so bright and big, but I knew I had to say no.

"Before you know it, we will all be back home and you can see her more then. She isn't going anywhere. So, school and homework."

"Okay." He sighed, before sitting up and wrapping his arms around my neck. I hugged my son for a long moment before someone knocked lightly on the door.

"Olivia, Meredith passed all of her tests with flying colors. You can have a few hours with her before we take her back down, okay?" A nurse spoke, and I smiled and nodded.

"Good. Chris, go into the bathroom and wash your hands. Soap and warm water. Then you can come out and hold your sister."

Christopher sat in the plush rocking chair in the corner of the room with his arms cradling Meredith. Cynthia had come down and was sitting with them, just to make sure Meredith was being held properly and because she just couldn't get enough of her. I just watched because I was still amazed that I am a mother to two children. That somehow I was blessed with two amazing children that are going to bring so much happiness and light into our lives.

"Momma, where is her hair?" Chris asked, and I sighed as Cynthia laughed.

"She will get hair in due time. She is just a bit bald." I laughed.

"Well, I guess I like her." He whispered, and my eyes went wide.

"You guess?"

"Okay, I guess I love her." He giggled. Meredith whimpered a bit in her brother's arms and I swallowed hard. I've only heard her cry after she was born, and I'm assuming that just like when Chris cries, it'll break my heart.

"She should be hungry. Wanna feed her and Chris and I will go find Elliot?" Cynthia asked, and I gave her a nervous nod.

Before they left, Cynthia got a nurse to help me just in case, and then they left. I was wondering what was taking Elliot and Serena so long getting back, but I didn't really focus on that because I had my newborn in my arms and it was hard to not focus on her.

"Liv?" Elliot's voice breathed. I looked up from Meredith, who was resting against my chest so we could have some skin to skin contact, and I saw a decently sized cut on his forehead.

"Oh my god! What happened?!" I exclaimed, and I was thankful that Meredith didn't really seem to react much to my sudden speaking, all she did was shift a bit and yawn.

"So, we got into a minor accident. That is why I'm back nearly three hours later than I said I would be." Elliot breathed, and I swallowed hard.

"Serena? Is she okay? Please tell me that your cut is just a cut and nothing more serious!"

"Serena has a broken arm, and this is just a cut. I promise." He breathed, as he walked over to where I laid. He leaned down and kissed me gently, before kissing Meredith's head.

"God. Hasn't today been eventful." I breathed, and he smiled softly.

"It has been. And I'm so sorry. I think the van may be totaled." Elliot spoke and I sighed.

"We can always get a new van. Don't worry. I just can't lose you or Serena." I spoke. I shifted a bit and Elliot laid beside me. He traced shapes onto the back of our daughter's back as he rested his head against my shoulder.

"So, what does Chris think of this little sweetheart?" Elliot whispered as he shifted a bit so he could place a gentle kiss to my bare shoulder.

"He loves her. He was joking around a lot, but he absolutely loves her. I just hope that they are going to be close. That they won't fight all the time."

"They will probably fight but then fight for each other. I'd do anything for my siblings, even now that we are fighting. And I know that it's the same for you and Cy." Elliot spoke, and I nodded slowly.

"I want my Mom and Dad. I wish that they would've lived long enough to meet our kids... both were taken way too soon, and now it's really hitting me. Like when I was walking through Chloe and Dane's house when I responded to the call, I saw pictures. Dane's mother died, Chris told me, but there was a picture of her holding Chris shortly after he was born. I want a picture of my parents holding Mere... but our lives have never been normal and never will be." I whispered as a few tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Let's think about happy things. Like our kids. Our jobs. Our family. Our future." Elliot spoke, and I nodded slowly.

"I can't wait to see what comes."
