Title: Still Breathing, Chapter 1
Warnings: Teen Pregnancy
Disclaimer: Not mine, blah, blah, blah.
Summary: When a fifteen year old Lizzie Stabler realizes that she's pregnant, she turns to Olivia for help. When Elliot finds out that she's pregnant, things don't go well.
Note: Kathy is gone. I don't care what she's doing, because it doesn't really matter. Eli doesn't exist. Maureen and Kathleen are both are college at NYU. Elliot has full custody of twins Dickie and Lizzie, and they live Elliot's apartment. Set in no specific season. Oh, and Casey is the ADA in this, not Alex.
I am still writing Dickie's Story, but I just need to find all of my notes for that story which I have lost. Sorry about that.
This idea wouldn't leave me alone, so I'm writing this thing.

Special Victims Unit Squad room

Detectives Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler were at their desks in the 16th prescient one slow Friday afternoon. The duo had just closed their recent case and was now doing the dreaded paperwork that goes along with it. Fin and Munch were out working on theirs, which left the two of them alone in the room, with the exception of Donald Cragen, the captain.
"Any big plans for the weekend?" Olivia asked her partner of many years.
"Nah. I have to see what the twins are up to, first before I can do anything. You know them. They're 15, they always have something planned," he chuckled.
"They're giving you a workout, El," she replied as her phone rang. With one hand, she reached over and answered it.
"Benson," she answered.
"Olivia?" a quiet voice asked.
"Lizzie?" she replied, giving her partner a glance as Elliot gave her one.
"Yeah, it's me… Um, I was just wondering if you were free later today. I need to talk to you about something. I don't really know who to go to…" she trailed off, worry evident in her voice.
"Yeah, of course. Do you want me to pick you up? Or do you just wanna meet somewhere?" Olivia said.
"Can we meet at the little park by dad's apartment?" Lizzie asked.
"Sure. What time? I get off at about six so how about around there some time?"
"Is 6:30 fine?" Lizzie replied.
"Of course. I'll see you then. Bye Liz,"
"Bye Livia," the teen replied as the two girls both hung up their phones.
"What did Lizzie want?" Elliot asked, curious why his daughter was calling Olivia.
"Just to talk later," she responded.
"Is something wrong? Is she okay?" Elliot asked. That was one of the things that made him a great father. He worried about his kids and wanted to make sure that they were all safe at all times.
Olivia smiled at how much he cared about his daughter. "Yeah. She's fine, El. She probably just needs a girl to talk to," she replied. "You know it's been a little over a year since Kathy left."
"I know," he sighed. "It's been tough, but we're getting through."
"C'mon, we better get going on this paperwork if we ever want Cragen to let us go tonight,"

Elizabeth Stabler hung up her cell phone. She had just gotten off the phone with Olivia.
She sighed and looked up into the clear blue sky. It was lunch time at Jefferson High School and Lizzie couldn't concentrate on anything. Her lunch didn't see as appetizing as it did this morning when she packed it.
"You okay?" her twin brother, Dickie, asked her. For twins this age, they were very close and nothing could tear them apart. They have always been close, and when their mother split, they just got even closer.
"Yeah," she sighed.
"You've been out of it for like the past couple weeks," he said, still not convinced that his twin sister was telling the truth.
"I'm fine, I'm fine," she mumbled.
Dickie sighed and changed the subject. "So you goin' over to Liv's later?"
"Yeah," Lizzie said. "Girl time. So you and dad can do whatever tonight."
"Hmm. Well, have fun,"

Lizzie Stabler sat on the bench at the small park by her dad's apartment waiting for Olivia to arrive.
When the detective arrived, she spotted the teenage sitting on one of the benches that was facing the jungle gym. Without being seen or heard, Olivia sat next to the teen who was staring off into space.
"Hey Liz," Olivia said.
"Thanks for coming Olivia," she replied.
"It's nothing. So what's up?"
Lizzie turned and looked Olivia in the eyes. "What I'm going to tell you… you can't tell anybody. Especially not my dad. No one."
Olivia laughed. "Okay, okay. I wont tell anybody. Not even your father."
"Okay," she sighed, bracing herself for what she was about to say. "I think I might be… pregnant," Lizzie said, looking down at the ground.
Sorry the first chapter was so short. The upcoming chapters will be longer. Review please!
