The Last Fight.

Chapter 1- A fading memory

Olivia is struggling to remember certain words and events. She is beginning to get lost in places she knows and her past is becoming muddled. A trip to the doctors ends in a shock diagnosis and she begins to lose everything she has fought for. Her job. Noah. Her grip on reality. This, is Olivia Bensons last battle.

Olivia rolled over and groaned. Her head was aching and the dull ache got worse as Noah's cries flooded from the baby monitor, but she smiled. Even when he was crying she smiled, because together they had survived so much. Shaking her head free from the pain she stood up and walked into Noah's room, and his cries stopped when he saw her. Whispering softly to him, she scooped him up into her arms and rocked him gently. She blew a light raspberry behind his ear and his childish giggle rang through the apartment. Hauling him onto her hip, she headed for the kitchen and popped Noah some bread into the toaster. Placing Noah into his highchair she made herself some coffee before switching on the radio. Suddenly music burst from the speakers and filled the kitchen.

Tumble out of bed

And stumble to the kitchen

Pour myself a cup of ambition

And yawn and stretch and try to come to life

Jump in the shower

And the blood starts pumpin'

Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin'

For folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Workin' 9 to 5

What a way to make a livin'

Barely gettin' by

It's all takin' and no givin'

They just use your mind

And they never give you credit

It's enough to drive you

Crazy if you let it.

Olivia sung along to the words. She loved this song and had since she'd first heard it. She turned to Noah just as his toast popped and he grinned at her.

"Do you know who sings this Noah?" She asked. He giggled at her. "No? Do you give up? It was... It was... Er. God who was it?"

Olivia frowned, the words were right in front of her and yet she just couldn't seem to catch them. She knew who it was. She could even picture her. It was a little odd. She pulled out her phone and typed out the lyrics before searching it.

"Dolly Parton! Of course it was." she grinned. earning one bigger back from Noah...

3 Weeks later

Olivia ran around her apartment in a rush. She had forgotten to set her alarm. She had never once before forgotten to set it, but this time she had. Noah was still in his pyjamas and she would have to ask Lucy to dress him. She rushed about pulling on her jacket, and grabbing her phone, when suddenly the door buzzed. Thinking lucy was early she was shocked when she looked at the clock to see it was nearly nine. Shit.

When the knock at the door came two minutes later, Olivia ran to get it.

"Hey. Hey er. Come in erm." She breathed, embarrassed the she had forgotten the name of the babysitter that she had had for almost a year, especially when she had only just thought of her.

"I'm Lucy nice to meet you." The girl in the doorway grinned, winding Olivia up.

"Sorry Lucy. I'm just tired" Liv laughed. "Anyway, I overslept this morning. Noah's not dressed yet but he's had his breakfast. I'll see you later."

She turned to exit but was stopped by a cough from Lucy. She looked to see Lucy dangling her keys in the air along with a face that said 'forgetting something?'. Olivia just laughed and grabbed the keys from Lucy. She had been getting so forgetful lately.

20 minutes later she rocked up at the one six. Walking in, Fin looked up at her before mimicking her sarcastic response to anyone who normally came in late.

"Nice of you to join us." he mocked.

Olivia just laughed before Nick stood up.

"We got a rape vic at mercy. Claims it was her teacher. She's fifteen he's almost fifty. You wanna come along?" His question was directed at his sarge.

She nodded. "Give me a minute and I'll be with you. Where did you say she was?"

"Mercy" he replied.

"Right. Yeah." She frowned back.

Together Olivia and Nick headed over to mercy. Liv's mind was elsewhere but she could tell something was bothering Nick. She wondered over whether to leave it, but she knew it was getting at him?"

"Hey Nick, is everything alright?"

"It's just Maria." He sighed.

Olivia frowned "Who's Maria?"

"My ex wife. Mother of my child. Also the women who promised I could go down and see Zara this weekend but then changed her mind." Nick cursed.

Olivia was about to reply when Nick looked at her. "Did you forget who Maria was?" He blinked unbelievingly.

Olivia just shrugged. She'd been forgetting a lot of things recently but up until now nobody had noticed. She sighed.

"I'm just tired." She whispered

Nick looked knowingly at her.

"If you think it's more than that you should get it checked out." He stated "You gonna book a doctors appointment?"
