Chapter 1: Brave

9:50am

Olivia walked into the hospital getting nervous by the second. This was no ordinary doctor visit. No, it was not for something minor like a cold….but she was going in for a biopsy to confirm what the doctors was sure she had.

"Don't worry Liv. I'm here for you….and I'll be the first person you see when you wake up." Elliot said. He rubbed her hand with his thumb as they sat down and waited for the doctor. Olivia sighed. She couldn't think about it too much or else she would walk right out that door.

"Olivia Benson?" A female doctor yelled out and looked up from her clipboard. Elliot noticed Olivia wasn't moving an inch so he got up and gently pulled her up with him.

"Come on. " He slightly urged. Olivia finally got up and followed him to the nurse who stood at the door that led to the back.

"Hi. Follow me to the Oncology Unit and there you will meet up with your surgeon who will be performing the biopsy." She said. Both Olivia and Elliot followed her to the unit. After waiting for about 10 minutes in a room, they met Olivia's surgeon.

"Hello Ms. Benson. How are you?" He asked.

"I'm just peachy. I can't wait for this to be over and done with." Olivia said. Inside, she was scared as hell.

"Well, after this surgical biopsy, we will be able to tell you what type of breast cancer you have. Right now, I want you to put on this gown and we will take you down to the operating room." Olivia nodded and grabbed the gown. Once the doctor left, Olivia faced Elliot. Her eyes showed so much sadness that she desperately tried to hide until now. She couldn't hide it. This was something big and she knew she could let herself go in front of Elliot. He had always been there for her and he wasn't going to stop now. All he could do now was just give her a hug. No words could help the situation and turn this all around. The facts were there. Showing its ugly head and trying to destroy everything in its path. All they could do was fight it…and fight it hard.

"You have to put on your gown Olivia." Elliot said. Olivia nodded and wiped away her tears. Once she had it on, she sat in a chair until the doctor came.

"Okay Ms. Benson, its time. Mr. Stabler, you have to go out and sit in the waiting room. We'll take good care of her." The doctor reassured Elliot. Elliot nodded and gave Olivia another hug and a kiss on her lips.

"I love you." He whispered.

"I love you too." She replied and followed the doctor out to the operating room.

2 hours later

12pm

Olivia opened her eyes after hearing her name being called several times. It was Elliot. She looked around. Elliot caressed her cheek.

"They are done Liv. We can go home now." He said. Just as he said that, her doctor came in.

"How are you feeling?"

"Sore." Olivia said.

"That is to be expected. What I want you to do is rest for today. No strenuous work for 2 weeks unless you want more stitches. After a month, the incision should have healed completely. Since we took out a small piece of the lump for testing, you may feel a small firmness underneath the incision, but that will go away over time. You can leave after you are signed out. Do you have any questions?" He asked Olivia.

"When do I need to come back for the test results?"

"I will call you and tell you to come in so we can discuss the results." He informed her. Olivia nodded and slowly got up with the help of Elliot.

"Thank you Dr. Henderson." Olivia said.

"You're welcome. I'll see you in a few days." He said.

Olivia and Elliot walked to the sign out window before heading out to Elliot's car. He opened the door for her. Olivia smiled in gratitude.

When Elliot got in the car, Olivia spoke up.

"Thank you for being here for me through all of this. I don't know if I would have been able to do any of this without you." She said.

"I wouldn't do it any other way, Liv. I will always be here for you no matter what. I love you so much."

"I love you too." She smiled. Elliot put the car in drive and started the 10 minute drive back to their place.
