The Love of Olivia Benson

Baby Showers

Hello. I've decided that this story will be wrapping up in the next few chapters. The main story of it is done and I'm sort of struggling to add any more drama. If there's anything that I forgot to wrap up then please tell me. I still have Jealous Rage to finish plus my Snamione fan fiction.

Elizabeth was officially six months pregnant. While she had forgiven her father for not letting her drop out of school, she still was distant with him. Elliot thought it was mostly because she was feeling guilty for how she acted. He did go with her to the doctor to find out the gender though. It turns out she was having a boy. She was very excited and worried at the same time. She had no idea what to name the boy, or even if Alvin wanted the baby to be named after him. 

Liv was about two months behind Elizabeth, so four months. It was a little later for Elizabeth when she found out the gender because she had been hospitalized for the flu. Liv and Elliot were having a girl. Elliot was so excited to have a girl, he really hoped that she looked like her mom. Mainly the nose. Poor kid would grow up to hate him if she was the only kid that ended up getting his nose. 

Elizabeth ended up having a dinosaur themed baby shower. Little toy dinosaurs and plastic eggs that looked like reptile eggs littered the house when the shower took place. The whole squad plus several friends of the kids ended up showing up. Elliot was a little upset that Alvin never showed up though. Elizabeth didn't act like she minded, however. She was having some fun with her friends. 

Come to find out that Alvin ended up breaking up with Elizabeth two months ago and she never told anyone. It angered Elliot to his core, however, Elizabeth made him promise to not make a big deal of everything. "Is he going to be in the baby's life?" Elliot asked, trying to control his anger. 

"I'm not sure. He refused to speak to me. I'm guessing that he doesn't," she shrugged, rubbing her stomach. 

He shook his head and kissed her forehead. "I love you," he muttered softly. 

"I'm thinking of naming him Eric Jackson Stabler," she said as they walked down the stairs from the hallway. 

It was time for Liv's baby shower today. Elliot nodded in approval. "Alvin doesn't want anything to do with the baby then?" Elliot asked casually. 

Elizabeth shrugged nonchalantly. "It is what it is," she said as Eli came crawling over. He was still very wobbly on his legs, so he preferred to crawl. She picked up her brother and went over to the couch to sit. Elliot watched her for a moment with a heavy heart. He really wanted her to be better than he and her mother was in school. 

As the baby shower took off, the house was cluttered with people. They all either wanted to hold Eli or EJ, or wanted to rub Elizabeth and Liv's belly's. They kept on asking what the babies names were. While Elizabeth had the name picked out, she wasn't sure she wanted to share the name. That was completely fine also. However, Elliot and Liv hadn't even talked about names. They had been too busy working and then taking care of the house. 

"We actually don't have a name picked out yet," Liv stated after the fifth person asked. 

Suddenly there was a roar of names flooding Liv. She looked around, slightly overwhelmed. Elliot waved his hands up and called out, "We appreciate the suggestions, but please don't shout at Liv."

The rest of the shower was slightly uneventful. They got a lot of diapers and baby clothes for baby girl, which Liv and Elizabeth drooled over. One especially that Liv was adamant that would end up being her take home outfit. It was a little yellow onesie that had a picture of of a bow on the front and said I'm An Angel. 

Elizabeth's take home outfit was a little onesie that looked like a tux. She found it at the store one day when they were shopping and refused to leave without it. She was getting both excited and scared as her due date approached. Excited to see her son, but scared that something scary would happen. 

While the older kids were upset by Kathy being in jail, Elizabeth was also upset that she wouldn't get to be there for her in the delivery room. Elliot wished he could help his daughter out by getting Kathy to the delivery room, but there was no way he'd be able to. 

That night, Liv sat up in bed with a notebook and a baby book that Elizabeth bought for herself. She was flipping through the pages fairly fast and humming to herself. Elliot had just put the boys down for the night and started stripping at the foot of the bed. "What do you think of Eliza?" Liv asked thoughtfully. 

Elliot ran the name in his head several times. "It's okay. Are you wanting to keep an E name?" He asked as he got into bed beside her. 

She shrugged. "I'm not totally sure. I'm just running thought some that I've skimmed and stuck in my head." 

"I want her middle name to be Olivia," Elliot said, looking at Liv. She turned to Elliot. There were tears in the corner of her eyes. "The first name is yours to figure out, but the middle is Olivia."
