Their Love, Their Life [A Bensler Fan Fic]

.Chapter Five.

Olivia managed to convince Elliot into not telling Cragen about the baby until she goes back to work. But once the two-day break was over with, they had to finally tell him about the baby.

"So, wanna tell me why you had to take two days off in the middle of our case?" Cragen asked once he sat behind his desk while Olivia and Elliot sat in the chairs in front of him.

"I had to go to the hospital because the boy's mother hit me in my stomach," Olivia replied, hoping that he would just understand.

"Okay?" He sighed because he was kinda annoyed by his detectives.

"Captain, Liv's pregnant. She had to go to the hospital because she didn't know if getting hit had hurt our child." Elliot spoke, as he grabbed his fiancee's hand and squeezed it gently. Cragen just stared at them for several moments before he ran his hand over his face.

"How far along are you?" He asked, and Olivia bit her lip and Elliot responded for her.

"12 weeks, Captain," Elliot spoke, and Cragen just shook his head a bit.

"I feel like I should suspend you both for hiding this from me, but then again I also feel like I should be congratulating you both because this is amazing news." He spoke, and Olivia's jaw dropped.

"What?" Elliot asked.

"This is great news, guys. Congrats." Cragen spoke, before dismissing them. Olivia and Elliot stood slowly and once they shut the door they looked at each other.

"He's happy?" Olivia questioned, and Elliot nodded.

"It looks like it. Uh, I guess we can truly start telling people that you are pregnant." Elliot smiled, before leaning forward and kissing his fiancee deeply before they turned around and headed back to their desks.

Everyone else found out that Olivia was pregnant and everyone was excited about it. Olivia finally felt like she didn't have to be all secretive and plan all of her appointments for right after work. Now she was allowed to take care of herself and the baby at work, by investigating from work. She usually didn't like desk duty, but this is different for her now.

"So, you look tired," Olivia spoke, as she and Elliot made dinner for themselves and Willow, while the twins sat in their bouncers and were cooing quietly to themselves.

"Yeah, because I don't get to sit on my butt all day." Elliot teased, and Olivia smiled softly at him.

"Sorry about that, babe... but you know that it's important that I stay at the precinct," Olivia spoke. 

"I know. So, I was wondering if you had decided when you wanted to marry me?" Elliot asked, and Olivia shrugged.

"I don't think that I want to marry you anymore. I'm bored with you." Olivia teased back. They went back and forth for a few minutes until Pia started to cry. Olivia kissed her fiance's cheek before she walked into the living room and lifted her daughter into her arms and cuddled him close.

"Hey, baby girl. You are okay. Momma has you." Olivia cooed, and Elliot heard her. He smiled softly because even if she was teasing him about not wanting to get married, he knew that she couldn't wait and he couldn't wait either.

"Logan, what happened?" Amanda asked quietly, as she knelt in front of her son after he got home from school. Logan refused to lift his head to look at his mother, and she knew that he had been hurt again. She wanted him to be happy, but it was hard for him to fit into the school he was going to because it was very involved in regards to sports.

"Mom, I don't want to go back to school." He whispered, and Amanda frowned as she ran her fingers gently through his curls.

"You need to tell me what happened before I can take you out of school... do you want me to call Uncle Elliot and then you can talk to him about this?" Amanda asked, and Logan nodded slowly. Amanda leaned down a bit and kissed his forehead gently before walking over and grabbing her phone. She dialed Elliot's number and waited for him to answer.

"What can I do for you, Amanda?" Elliot answered.

"Can you talk to my kid real quick? Something happened at school and he won't look at me."

"Yeah, of course. Give me to him." Elliot replied, worriedly.

Amanda walked back over to her son and passed the phone to him. He stood quickly and walked to his room, while Amanda sank down onto the couch and waited for Logan to come out of his bedroom.

"So, what happened at school today, Logan?" Elliot asked as he flipped another piece of chicken before standing back and waiting for his nephew to respond.

"I don't like sports, Uncle Elliot."

"I know you don't, kid. What is happening though?"

"It's so stupid that every kid had to participate in a sport. And I'm not good at any sport. I just want to be able to go to school and avoid team sports." Logan sighed.

"Did the other kids hurt you?" Elliot asked.

"One hit me in the face... my eye is bruised but it's not too bad. I don't want to tell my Mom because then she's gonna worry. She's like Aunt Liv... she worries so much." Logan sighed.

"Okay, but that is what Moms do... so now go tell her what happened and see if she can get you transferred to a new school."

"I don't want to make her upset... I hate making her upset." Logan whispered.

"She isn't going to be upset. She just wants to take care of you and protect you, and she can't do that if you keep things from her. So, hang up on me and go talk to your mother. She'll still love you. She'll still want to have you stay with her. And she'll do anything in her power to make sure you don't get hurt again. Okay?"

"Okay." Logan sighed. He and Elliot sat on the phone for a few more moments.

"Logan, are you gonna go talk to her?" Elliot asked.

"Yeah... uh thanks for talking to me, Uncle Elliot."

"Anytime, Logan."
