Okay, if you could see the foolish grin on my face just picturing these two with a BABY (!) and their other kidlets shopping for a tree. You paint a nice picture.
Her rubbing his back… this… just so what it could have been. Sigh.
“He looked over at her and smiled, "Better now."
I adore Maureen. That is all.
I say it every time, but he is the best.
“Before sitting down, he spun her around catching her off guard, "Thanks for cooking."
Gah! The ending scene at the dinner table after they brought home the tree is so them. Love how you write them.
Another one! El on the couch with the baby? Lump in my throat.
THIS is why their relationship works and why their domestic relationship works.
“but she also knew that no one would understand his pain more than her.”
I love when couples can ask each other this and are able to respond in safety.
"What can I do for you?"
Couples in dancing in their own home is my kink. And these two? And how you write them? And what they say to each other? Be still my ever romantic heart. Sigh.
Lovely.
“Brushing her hair back, he smiled, "You have no idea how much I love you Olivia. No idea how grateful I am that I get to come home to you."
And then the lights, and the lying under the tree, and El’s “competition”… all so gloriously heartwarming. Makes you believe that love like that exists.
Watching the snow on Christmas morning in bed with the entire fam just about wrecked me.
Yes, he’d go anywhere with her.
“He gave her a questioning look but didn't hesitate.”
You got me in my feels here. He is THE man.
“Elliot reached for her, "I do want that. But...are you sure? I mean I won't lie. This whole experience...it broke my heart too. Not just losing our child...but watching you go through it. I wish I could have taken the pain from you. And I don't want you to go through that again. I don't want us to go through that again."
Always a good story when Fin and Munch appear.
He sure does.
"A hopeless romantic, eh?" James sighed, "You really do put us all to shame Stabler."
I am crying my eyes out!
“This little piece of her and Elliot. A reminder that what they had was real. Proof that this was her life. Proof that someone loved her and always would. She felt a hand reach out behind the highchair and squeeze her arm. She didn't have to look to know who it belonged too.”
PLEASE. Perfection.
“tasting the frosting and that little bit of just Elliot Stabler,”
Everyone needs a Don Cragen in their lives.
This evoked a whole lot of emotions.
“She sighed, leaned in and wrapped her arms around his waist, "One more El. God I want one more."
The entire ending scene getting everyone out of the house made me feel like I was right there in the midst of it all. Enjoyed every bit of it.

All the family moments were wonderful. And then watching each other during one on one time with Noah- the absolute cutest. And so happy they decided to try for one more baby!

I adored this chapter. Olivia asking Elliot to love her at the beginning tugged at my heartstrings. I’m glad they were able to be comfortable having sex again. I laughed at the fact that Noah’s first word was munch and loved all the family moments during the holidays. Looking forward to more of this precious story

Though I know it hasn't been easy, nice to see Olivia and Elliot continue to heal, even being able to be intimate again for the first time since the miscarriage. Having Noah's first word be Munch was super amusing, and I don't blame Olivia for being upset, or Elliot for chasing him. Thank goodness he said Mama soon after. I also liked the moments after that when Fin and Olivia were alone and she shared the news of what had happened to her, even if it did result in Munch unintentionally sticking his foot in his mouth. I thought it was great that Elliot and Olivia invited Casey to spend Thanksgiving with them, and was so glad she accepted. Not to backtrack, but I also wanted to mention how much I enjoyed the Halloween celebration, even though I know it couldn't have been easy for Elliot to let Maureen go off with her friends. Last but not least, I loved Elliot and Olivia's conversation at the end of the chapter.

I love them and their love story. And the little bit about Noah saying Munch was just precious but I love how he said mommy later.
I also love how Liv was such a good friend to Casey.
Can’t get enough of all their family moments.
While they will always have the pain and loss with them they always have each other.

This was such a great chapter as usual! Lots of fluff which I love! Glad they reconnected and loved the love scene and how tender Elliot was with her. I want a man like that. Elliot Stabler has set the bar impossibly high! Loved the Halloween scenes and Thanksgiving was so nice. So glad they included Casey. She is so fortunate to have friends like that and I'm glad that she is a sounding board for them too. They got into a lot of heavy topics after dinner but I love their friendship and love that they are there for each other! Also and this needs to be mentioned, the Munch and Fin stuff cracks me up! They bring all the comic relief to this story. Glad Liv finally told them what happened too. They are all family and only want what's best for her. Can't wait for more and so looking forward to part 3! This is my favorite story ever!
