Hey, that's an idea that popped in my mind about the trail's aftermath!
I own nothing, unfortunately Dick Wolf does!
Enjoy!
Set 2 months after Lewis' trail
She walked into the squad room feeling drained, emotionally,physically.
Everthing hurted so much.
She was early, although she wasn't supposed to be there to begin with.
"Liv...what are you doing here?"
Cragen greeted her, concern evident in his voice.
God, it hurted so bad to see his best detective,the woman she had known for 15 years and thought of her as his own daughter like this.
After the unexpected turn of the trail she was spiralling down, day by day.
Lewis may have been killed but he took with him her solid rock, the only person she had truly loved.
Lewis had managed to catch another break and slipped out of Barba's hands.
Then he came after her,only this time someone else took the toll for her.
Brian beat the shit out off him when Lewis break into their apartment, but that wasn't enough.
Shots were fired by both of them and they bled out on the floor before Olivia could do anything.
She felt helpless, guilty for his death.
If it weren't for her he would be alive,he didn't deserve to die for her.
There were days that she could barely function without him by her side.
But yet you could see that she was trying her best with everything she had.
Therapy helped a lot.
Her friends, her family in the squad was always by her side:Cragen, Nick, Amanda & Fin, Munch often called to check on her, even Barba was deeply concerned about her wellbeing.
She was going to make it through this ordeal, she was Olivia Benson after all.
"Captain,I work here!"she said exasperating.
Well,that was the Olivia he knew,with her sassy comments.
She smiled slightly at him while they held their gazes for a little longer.
The moment was interrupted by Nick storming in the squad room.
"Jesus,Liv you scared me the hell out of me.I woke up and you were nowhere to be found in the apartment."
Olivia chuckled at her partner's comment,she secretly liked it when he was being overprotective to her.
"Nick,I figured that you'd thought I'be here."she went all serious.
"It's ok.I just got worried about you."he said while handing her a steaming cup of her favorite coffee and gently rubbing her shoulder.
She smiled at Nick's sweet gesture.
And this little moment didn't go unnoticed by Cragen who smiled at their interaction and excused himself in his office.
That's it. Did you like it or hate ?
