Elliot looked down at his phone as it rang, he didnt recognize the number but answered it anyway. "Stabler" "Hi, Is this Elliot stabler?" A man asked. "Yes, who is this?" Stabler asked slightly confused. "This is Dr. Larsen. I'm calling about an Olivia Benson, you were listed as her next of kin." Dr. larsen said. "What happend?" Elliot asked quickly. It had been months since he had seen or heard from olivia.

He couldnt believe that she still had him listed as her next of kin after everything that happend. "Look" The doctor said interrupting his thoughts. "She's in a coma. She was raped and beaten pretty badly. She had some internal bleeding, but we fixed it." Elliots mind raced. "Ill be right there." He said before hanging up the phone. He quickly climbed into his car and speed to the hospital.

"Is there something you want to say to me? Because if you do, then let's hear you say it." Olivia spat. "Why didn't you shoot Gitano?" Elliot asked angrily. "He was using the child as a shield." Olivia replied quickly and just as loudly. "How could you let him get so close to you?" Elliot asked putting the blame on her. "There were innocent civilians around. I couldn't get a shot" She said disbelievingly.

"Well you got close and Ryan's dead." Elliot spat back. "So this is my fault?" She said while holding back tears. "I can't do this anymore. I can't be looking over my shoulder, making sure you're okay." Elliot yelled while walking away. "You son of a bitch, you know that's not true." She said her hurt quickly replaced with anger. "I need to know you can do your job and not wait for me to come to your rescue." Elliot yelled back.

Elliot all but ran to her room. When he finally burst through the door and saw her he lost it. Tears poured down his face as he took in how pale and bruised she was. He couldnt believe that someone would do that to her. "Liv" He whispered and grabbed her hand. He quickly sat down by her bed as a doctor came in. "Hi, You must be Elliot. I'm Doctor larsen." The blonde haired man said.

"How is she?" Elliot asked wiping away his tears. "The rape kit was positive for fluids, but She's doing well. Her vitals are strong, we expect her to come out of the coma soon." The doctor said cheerfully. "Thank god" Elliot whispered as the doctor left. "who did this to you, olivia?" Elliot couldnt help the other tear that ran down his cheek. "I'm so sorry for blaming you and i'm so sorry for not trusting you with my life." Elliot said while sobbing and clinging to her hand for dear life as flashback after flashback hit him.

"Olivia! Oh my god, no!" Elliot screamed as he watched her fall to the floor. "It's okay, I'm okay. Where's Gitano? Go Elliot, go, I'm fine. Go!" Olivia shouted weakly as she pressed down on her neck.

"If that sniper hadn't beaten you to it... I know you would have taken that shot, Olivia." He whispered. "No, I wouldn't have. Did you really expect me to? Did you really expect me to cause your death? What about your kids?" Liv asked disbelievingly. "I don't know. I just couldn't get that boy out of my head." He spoke softly. "What about me?" Olivia whispered sadly. "Look, we both chose each other over the job. We can never let that happen again. Otherwise... we can't be partners." Elliot said slowly. "I can't believe you're saying that" olivia whispered as tears filled her eyes.

Elliot felt something squeeze his hand suddenly. "Olivia?" elliot whispered. He looked up and saw her struggling to come out of the coma. "el? Elliot?" Olivia whispered. "Help me" she said a little louder. "Shhhhh liv i'm here. Its me elliot." Elliot said soothingly. Olivia visibly calmed and started to open her eyes. "I'm so sorry. I... I let him" Olivia said while sobbing. "No Olivia this was not you're fault. I'm sorry i blamed you for everything with Gitano. It was never your fault." Elliot said slowly. "But it was my fault elliot." Olivia whispered.

"Olivia nothings your fault. I pushed you away. i had to make myself believe that it was your fault just so i could convince myself not to fall in love with you." Elliot said honestly. "You cant fall in love with me you deserve someone better." Olivia said with tears in her eyes. "Olivia you deserve someone better than me, but if you'll let me i would like to be there for you. I want to be with you, i dont care how long it takes for you to recover or if you ever do. I just want to be there for you." Elliot said happily. "I think i can live with that." olivia said with a smile. "I love you're smile." Elliot whispered. "I love you." Olivia whispered back. "I love you too." Elliot said with a smile.
