Starting Over

Olivia blinked her eyes open and was instantly confused...and then she remembered. She and Kathy, Elliot's soon to be ex-wife, were on their way to Kathy's OBGYN appointment when they were hit by a drunk driver who ran a red light. She looked to her right and saw Kathy unconscious with blood on her forehead...and between her legs. Oh God, no she thought to herself.

She carefully got out of the car and once she realized she wasn't hurt except for a cut on her forehead that was barely bleeding, she tried to open the passenger door to get to Kathy but it was jammed shut. Thankfully, the fire department and ambulance arrived barely a minute later and immediately got to work. One of the paramedics tried to check out Olivia but she protested.

"I'm fine, just help her, please." Olivia pleaded as they made their way back over to the totaled car with Kathy still trapped inside, still unconscious.

As one of the firefighters grabbed the jaws of life to take the roof of the car off, Olivia got back in the car so one of the paramedics could talk her through waking Kathy up carefully so they could put a neck brace on her.

After finally getting the roof of the car off, Kathy was placed on and strapped to a stretcher and taken into the ambulance with Olivia close behind. Kathy started having contractions and not long after, she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in the ambulance. The paramedics placed the baby wrapped in foil on Kathy's chest as she cries tears of joy. Suddenly, Kathy fell unconscious once again, so the baby was given to Olivia to hold while the paramedic tried to save Kathy's life.

One hour later...

Elliot ran through the doors of the emergency room and found Olivia hunched over in a daze.

"Liv! Are you okay?" He asked frantically, looking her over for injuries.

"I'm okay, go see you kid." She responded and smiled as she watched him walk through the door to Kathy's hospital room. When he walked in, he saw small cuts on the side of Kathy's face and a bandage over a cut on the side of her forehead.

He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the sleeping child in her arms, wrapped in a blanket. "How is he?" He asked.

"He's perfect." Kathy said with a smile as she passed the small bundle to him. She watched as his eyes lit up and he tried not to let his tears fall. "You are his father."

"I know." Elliot responded, not taking his eyes off of the sleeping baby.

Just then, Kathy's boyfriend, FBI Agent Dean Porter, walked in and froze.

"Hey, Stabler." Dean said nervously with a cup of ice chips in one hand and a blue teddy bear in the other.

"Porter." Elliot said, nodding slightly at him. As he gave the baby back to Kathy and was getting up from the bed to leave, he noticed the name on the hospital bassinet.

Elliot Stabler Jr.

Elliot looked at Kathy in shock. "You always said you wanted to name one of the kids after you." She said with a soft smile and a shrug.

He bent over to kiss her on the cheek. "Thank you." He said and left the room, leaving Kathy and Dean alone.

As he left the room, he couldn't stop himself from smiling and Olivia noticed.

"How's the baby?" She asked with a half smile on her face.

"Perfect." He replied, still with a smile plastered on his face.
