Here is my new story! The first few chapters will be kind of slow, but it will get better I promise! Leave a review if you want to see more of this story soon. :)

It had been almost 3 months of abdominal pain and constantly being tired. At first she just brushed it off; but now it has been getting worse. She had lost some weight and didn't seem to be getting better. Brian had finally convinced her to go see the doctor. A week later the doctor had phoned and said Olivia needed to come in right away so they could talk. She felt so nervous for what news she would hear.

So there they sat; in the Doctor's office waiting for him to come in. Brian held Olivia's hand; reassuring her she would be okay. The door opened and the Doctor walked in, carrying a file. Olivia took a deep breath, bracing herself for the news she would soon hear.

The Doctor sat down and opened the file laying it on his desk. He read over a few things. Olivia squeezed Brian's hand, he squeezed back letting her know he was here for her no matter what.

Olivia was snapped out of her thoughts when the doctor cleared his throat. "Olivia Cassidy. We have the results of what has been making you sick lately."

Olivia nodded, just wanting to hear what was wrong with her.

The doctor paused, then continued, "Olivia you have stage 3 lymphoma. We need start chemotherapy as soon as possible."

Olivia's eyes filled with tears. She felt like she might pass out. She had cancer. Stage 3 cancer. She should have come to the doctor as soon as she felt something was wrong.

"We would like to start tomorrow. The sooner we start the better."

Olivia nodded. She was unable to speak.

"The treatment will be strong, you will lose weight, you will be very sick and you most likely will lose your hair."

Olivia took a deep breath and nodded. It was going to be hard, but she was going to fight. The doctor told Olivia and Brian some more information about lymphoma and told them to be back here at 10 am for the treatment to begin.

The car ride home was silent. Olivia was lost in her thoughts. Will I survive? Will I be okay? Brian had a pained look on his face. His wife, his Olivia, had cancer. And it was bad. He had no idea what he would do without Olivia in his life. He needed her.

When they arrived at their apartment Olivia stood in the living room just thinking. She could die. Brian walked up to her and looked her in the eyes. He couldn't hold his tears back any longer. They slowly made their way down his cheeks. He wrapped his arms around Olivia, holding her tight.

Olivia hugged him back and closed her eyes, willing the tears to go away. "I'm going to be okay Brian. I'm going to beat this."

Brian nodded. "You're a fighter."

Finally they broke apart. "I have to tell Cragen."

Brian nodded and wiped the tears from her cheeks with his thumbs.

Olivia needed to tell Cragen she was sick. She was going to have to leave SVU for a while. It made her so sad to think about that.

"I don't want to do it over phone. He doesn't deserve to hear it over phone."

Brian nodded again. He knew if he spoke he would lose it.

"I'm going to go down to the precinct. It might be easier to tell everyone else at the same time."

"I'll go with you." Brian walked back towards the door.

Olivia nodded and the two drove to the precinct. On the way Olivia called Cragen to let him know they were coming and she had something to tell everyone. She was so nervous for how they would react.

Brian and Olivia walked into the precinct and went straight to Cragen's office. Olivia knocked on the door and then entered. Cragen smiled and pointed to the two chairs in front of his desk.

"I'll call in the others." Cragen stood up and called in Fin, Amaro and Rollins. They all entered and gathered around the desk.

"Brian and Olivia have some news for us."

Everyone smiled and Amanda elbowed Fin, they had a bet to see how long until Olivia announced she was pregnant.

Olivia cleared her throat and opened her mouth to speak but couldn't find the words. She looked at Brian who nodded, encouraging her to carry on.

She took a deep breath. "I uh- I have cancer. Stage 3 lymphoma. It's progressing quickly, and I start chemo tomorrow." Olivia wiped her eyes. She did it.

Amanda and Nick's faces were pale. Fin had a blank expression on his face. Cragen looked like he could cry. Cragen walked over to Olivia and hugged her. He didn't know what to say.

"You're going to fight this, Liv." Cragen whispered into her ear.

She nodded and pulled away. "So I'm obviously not going to be able to be here often."

They all nodded in understanding. "We just want you to get better."

Olivia smiled weakly. "We better get going. Work hard for me guys."

They all smiled weakly and said goodbye to Olivia and Brian.

That night Olivia was lying in bed, her stomach hurting yet again. She groaned and tried to find a comfortable spot. Brian walked in and saw her in pain again. He lay down beside her and rubbed her back.

Olivia rolled over lying close to Brian. He took her in his arms and kissed the top of her head. "I'm going to help you Liv. You're going to be okay. I believe it." Brian looked down and saw Olivia silently crying. He wiped her eyes and tried to calm her.

"The doctor made it sound like I'm not going to get better. He made it sound like it was too late."

Brian closed his eyes and held her a little tighter. He knew she was right.

"I'm scared Bri." She whispered.

"Me too, Liv." He finally admitted he was scared. The doctor had made it sound really bad and scary; but if there was one thing Brian knew about Olivia, it was that she was a fighter. And she wouldn't go down without a fight.
