A/N: Welcome to the sequel of Titanic (which, incidentally, isn't quite finished yet) If you haven't read Titanic, this will make no sense. This story takes place two weeks after the other one ended. They're all back in New York City and Rose is living in Elliot's guestroom under the name Rose Dawson because she had nowhere to go. Porter is in custody, but Cal got away. We're in modern times now and Liv's funeral hasn't happened yet. I'm hoping people like this one as much as the other one, as always read and review =) y'all are amazing ~platarozaluna

The events of the past two weeks rushed in a whirlwind through Elliot Stabler's mind. He still couldn't believe she was gone.

"Elliot I—" Don Cragen had began to try to find some words to take his best detectives pain away, but all in vain. No words could be said, as Cragen himself had already begun to break down as the Carpathia docked and Titanic survivors flung themselves into the arms of waiting family members. Cragen hugged the man he thought of as a son gently. A softly crying curly red-haired young woman laid a hand gently on Elliot's arm.

"Elliot, who is this?" Cragen asked, trying not to talk about Olivia right now. There would be time for grief later after everything was straightened out.

"Captain, this is Rose Dawson. She's….a friend. She lost the love of her life to Titanic and is going to be staying with me for a little while, she has nowhere else to go,"

Captain Cragen nodded approvingly, knowing fool well that it was a good thing Elliot wasn't going to be alone in his grief-physically or emotionally.

Elliot had tried to go back to work right away to keep himself from having time to brood on Olivia's death. Cal had escaped, but Dean Porter the true Gitano, had been incarcerated, tried, and was sentenced with lifetime in prison without parole on the charges of kidnapping of Ryan and Rebecca, attempted rape of Olivia, rape of Olivia, attacks on both Olivia and Elliot, as well as their attempted murders. Casey Novak was the ADA that tried him. Alex, meanwhile, had taken some time off after Titanic. She wasn't quite ready to reveal herself as still living to the world. Only Elliot, Rose, and Cragen knew so far. In fact, the record of Titanic survivors stated only that Samantha Riley survived. Alex Cabot was never a passenger. Rose had taken a small secretarial position at SVU filling out DD5s for many grateful detectives. She too, wanted something to take her mind off of the hell that had been Titanic.

George Huang cut into Elliot's stream of thought.

"Elliot? I asked you a question."

"Sorry, what?"

"It's quite alright. I asked you if you have been having dreams about Olivia."

"Is that a problem?"

"Depends on the dreams," Huang replied.

"She comes…to me and it's like she's alive again," Elliot choked out.

"You can't keep having these dreams, Elliot," Huang said and Elliot leapt up from the chair and made to storm out of the office.

"I know you're hurting, but you won't be able to let her go,"

"I'M NOT READY TO LET HER GO DAMNIT!" shouted Elliot at the top of his lungs, and in a rage, he cleared Huang's books off of one of the shelves in one sweep, sending them crashing to the floor. He continued to rage and be destructive while Huang watched him and didn't say a word. He knew that believe it or not, the destruction was helping Elliot let the pain out. Thoughtfully and sadly, George Huang wondered if Elliot Stabler could ever be stable again.

A/N: What do y'all think of the prologue/pre-chapter? Good? Bad? Review and let me know! I have grand plans for this story =) (and yes, I am still finishing the other one, duh) =D
