== History ==
Elliot first met Kathy at a party and they started to like each other. When Kathy first saw Elliot, she wanted to kiss him but was scared. Meanwhile, it took Elliot three beers to gain courage to say "Hello" and then they got really drunk while getting together. Elliot and Kathy were married before (as said in previous episodes) Elliot went into the marines. He joined the marines after graduating from High School. Elliot and Kathy admitted to being mischievous and sneaking out to visit each other late at night. However, when Elliot caught Maureen sneaking in late at night, he grounded her. 
Elliot and Kathy got married when they were 17 years old with a baby (Maureen Stabler) on the way. After Kathy gave birth to Maureen, Elliot and Kathy took turns taking care of her and working to support themselves. Kathy would work days while Elliot would work nights. Elliot joined the marines after his 18th birthday and came back two years after joining when Maureen was a toddler. Kathy fell pregnant again while Elliot was unemployed and he decided to become a cop. He started attending the police academy. He was at a shoot out that was shown on television which Kathy saw, causing her to go into premature labor, giving birth to Kathleen. 
Elliot become a Detective with the Special Victims Unit around the time, Elizabeth and Dickie were born. Elliot was first partnered with Jo Marlowe (now an ADA). He was later partnered with Pete Breslin, Dave Rosetti and "Old Fatso" Alfonse. He was later partnered with Olivia Benson relationship between Jo and Kathy is unknown, but Jo asked Olivia if she and Elliot ever slept together. Kathy and Elliot were temporarily separated and later divorced but then they got back together and that's when Kathy fell pregnant with Elliot Stabler, Jr. 
Elliot questioned if he was indeed the father of Kathy's baby, as they were seperated at the time. Kathy did admit she dated other men while they were separated but the conversation was cut short when Elliot was called back to the case. The next day, Elliot was supposed to be taking Kathy to her doctor's appointment because her car was in the shop, but a new lead in the case had Elliot travel a long distance, so Olivia volunteered to take Kathy to her appointment. On the way, Olivia and Kathy were hit by a drunk driver. Kathy's legs were pinned beneath the dashboard, causing extensive blood loss, and resulting in her water breaking, sending her into labor. Kathy was in and out of consciousness with Olivia now in the backseat to assist the medics while the firefighters managed to get Kathy out of the car and into the ambulance, where she gave birth to a baby boy. Amidst the chaos, Kathy stopped breathing and the EMT had to perform CPR on her. Meanwhile, Elliot was notified of the accident by Fin and was rushed over to the hospital by helicopter. He came rushing into Kathy's hospital room, where he found her awake, holding their baby in her arms. She tearfully informed him that it was a boy. Elliot was extremely relieved that Kathy and the baby were alright, and they shared a moment together. Kathy then told him that he was indeed the father of her baby, which he assured her that he already knew. Kathy decided to name their son after Elliot.
In 2021, she and Elliot got word of Benson receiving an award, so they returned to New York to attend her ceremony. While Elliot was away, Kathy was caught in a car bombing and left comatose from her wounds. She regained consciousness and expressed happiness to see Benson again, apologizing for making her miss the ceremony, but Benson was not bothered. Kathy remarked that it was good seeing them together, and she couldn't believe that the pair hadn't spoke in a decade. When she started to rest, Elliot was worried but Kathy assured him she was fine and told Benson on what she could remember. After she experienced cardiac arrest, Kathy was stabilized, but she then suffered a spleen rupture and died from her injuries. Her funeral was attended by her five children, her husband, Benson and her son.
