Cassidy [A SVU Fan Fic]

Six

Olivia laid in her hospital bed with her fingers running gently through the soft brown curls that covered her son's head. Elliot sat beside her smiling. They had a son. A little boy who Olivia named Cassidy. She didn't want him to know his father, but she did want him to have a tiny part of his father wherever he went. That's why she named him Cassidy, but she was pretty sure that he was going to go by Eli, because his middle name was Elliot, after his now Dad.

"He's beautiful." Elliot breathed, and Olivia smiled as she looked over at her fiance.

"He is. Absolutely stunning. I love him so much."

"I love him so much too, Livvie. I'm a Daddy again." He smiled. Elliot placed his lips against Olivia's and smiled as she turned to look at her son again. He was going to have everything he has ever wanted. He will always be loved and know that he is loved, and he will never have to fear getting hurt by those that are supposed to protect him.

"Can I hold him?" Elliot asked, and Olivia nodded. She passed her son off to him and then she rolled over onto her side so it was easier to watch them. She loved how Elliot loved her son, even if he wasn't his biological father. But love is love.

Brian stayed away from Manhattan for 5 years. He got a job and stayed sober. He was trying to be his best self before going back to try and approach Olivia and their son. He was hoping that Elliot and Olivia weren't together anymore, but what he didn't know was that they got married a few months after Olivia had Cassidy, and now they have three other kids also.

"Alright, I'll check in once I get to Manhattan," Brian spoke, as he kissed his mother's cheek. She stood up from where she sat and sighed.

"Be careful, okay? Boston is completely different from Manhattan."

"I know, Mom. I got this. I'm planning on getting my life started. Mr. Larson transferred me to our Manhattan branch of the agency and I'll be finding an apartment."

"What if she has moved on?" Brian's mother asked, and he shrugged.

"You never know, I may be just what she wants," Brian spoke, before hugging his mother. He walked over and straightened his tie and flattened his hair.

"I'm off!"

"Happy birthday, Cass!" Olivia exclaimed as she walked into her son's bedroom. Cassidy was laying in the middle of his racecar bed, his arms wrapped around his Tigger stuff animal.

"Momma?" Cassidy questioned, and Olivia smiled as she walked towards him. She knelt down beside his bed and kissed his forehead gently.

"You're five today, big boy! Are you ready for your party?" Olivia questioned, and Cassidy nodded quickly.

"Yeah! We get ice cream cake!" He squealed, before wrapping his arms around his mother's neck. She pulled him down onto her lap and rocked him back and forth in her arms. This was an every birthday tradition. Olivia always woke him up by herself and just held him for a while. He was growing up too quickly, but she was so thankful every year that she didn't get an abortion. That she kept her son and that she and Elliot raised him together.

Cassidy just rested against his mother's shoulder and listened to her breathing. It wasn't until his father came into the room with his three younger brothers, that the cuddling stopped.

"I hope you are ready for breakfast because these little rugrats are starving." Elliot smiled. All of the boys climbed onto Olivia's lap and she laughed as she tried to hold them all, but it was hard.

"Okay, let's go eat!"

+++

Olivia and Elliot spent most of the breakfast trying to keep their sons from dumping milk onto the floor because they placed their cups too close to the edge of the table, and cutting up food. Thankfully, the youngest Stabler was only a year old and sitting in a highchair and drinking from a sippy cup.

"So, what are we doing today? Other than my party?" Cassidy asked as he wiped his mouth off with his napkin.

"You and I are going mini golfing." Elliot smiled, and Cassidy's eyes brightened.

"Really? Do the others have to come?" He asked, and Elliot shook his head.

"Nope. Momma is staying here with Danny, Joey, and Hunter. I promise. It's just gonna be me and you." Elliot spoke. Olivia smiled when she saw how absolutely excited her eldest looked, and it made her happy. She was happy that he was happy. That he didn't feel unwanted because he wasn't Elliot's son, biologically, but even Elliot didn't feel like Cassidy wasn't his child. He just knew he was no matter what a blood test would say.

Olivia was at home with the boys when someone showed up. She had just laid Joey down for his nap, and little Hunter and Danny were playing before they each took their first naps. She sighed as she quickly walked towards the door before it woke up her most troublesome to put down for a nap.

"Yeah?" She asked, and that's when she saw Brian standing in front of her. He looked clean and like he was actually making money and not sleeping with a woman for it.

"Hey, Liv." Brian smiled, and she swallowed hard.

"W-what are you doing here?"

"I missed you. I'm sober and clean. And I have a real job and I'm making a lot of money. You and I can live in whatever house you have ever wanted and our kid can go to a private school. I'm ready to be with you, and god do I hope you are ready to be with me."

"Br-" Olivia started, but then Hunter and Danny came running towards the front door. They had expected it to be Fin or Nick, but instead, it was some man they didn't know.

"Momma?" Danny asked, and Olivia swallowed hard. She saw Brian look down at the two little blue-eyed boys, and he knew. He knew that she had moved on.
