When I found her room, there were all of our friends sitting outside of her room.
"Hey, how's she doing?" I asked. Fin looked up and I was shocked at the hostility in his eyes.
"What do you care? You weren't here when she was rushed to the hospital." He snapped. I sighed.
"Fin, I was taking Jace to school. I didn't know she was in an accident. Jace dropped my watch in the toilet last night, so it wasn't working right this morning. We were running late. It's not like I ditched her on purpose." I snapped, already fed up with peoples' attitudes. Fin sighed.
"Look, Stabler, I'm sorry. I'm so scared for her. That's my little sister in there." He said, apologetic. I nodded, accepting his apology. Munch stood up.
"Elliot, she's been asking for you. The doc won't let us in until you see him." He said. I was confused.
"What? I'm still one of her emergency contacts? I thought she took me off after Jacelyn was born." I said. Munch shrugged.
"I guess not. The doc went in to see how she's doing, he should be back out in a few minutes." He said. Right as he said that, the doctor walked out of Liv's room.
"Doctor, I was told you won't let any of our friends in until you talk to me." I stated. The doctor looked at me.
"Detective Stabler?" I nodded. "Olivia will be fine. She's asking for you and someone named Jacelyn, though. She doesn't want to see anyone else until she sees you." The doctor explained. I sighed.
"Alright, I will go see her. She can't see Jacelyn right now, though." I said. The doctor gave me the why not? look. I sighed.
"Jacelyn is Olivia and I's three year old daughter. She's in pre-school right now." I said, then pushed past him to go into Liv's room. I opened the door.
"I said I don't want to see anyone until Elliot is here with my daughter!" Liv snapped. I chuckled.
"Liv, it's me. Jace is at school. You didn't tell me you wanted to keep her home today. I rushed here from the precinct. Are you alright?" I asked, walking farther into the room.
"El, did the doctor tell you that I died? I was dead. In the back of the ambulance." She said, trying to hold back her tears. I gasped.
"No, he didn't. You were dead. We almost lost you." I said.
"No, El. You already lost me. Remember? We aren't together anymore. We haven't been for almost four years." Liv said. I sighed.
"I know that you aren't my girlfriend anymore, but I still care about you. You're still my partner and best friend. Not to mention you're my daughter's mother." I said, wishing I could tell her how I really felt. Before I could say anything else, Sarah walked in.
"Hey, Slut. Some hot guy was looking for you downstairs. I tried keeping him from you, but he didn't give up." I cleared my throat. Sarah jumped.
"Oh, jeez." She said. I rolled my eyes.
"What are you doing here? Just come to shove it in my face that some hot guy was talking to you?" Liv asked, angry. I grinned.
"No, he wouldn't give me the time of day. He said you're the love of his life. That's when I gave up and told him your room number." She said, not telling Liv it was me. Liv looked confused.
"What exactly did he say to you?" Liv asked. Sarah smirked.
"Why don't you ask him?" She said, nodding at me. Liv turned and looked at me, confused.
"El? It was you?" She asked. I looked down.
"Yeah, it was me. She called you a slut and said horrible things about you. She wouldn't tell me where you were so I laid it out for her." I said. Sarah smiled at me, a genuine smile.
"I could tell you really loved her, so I decided to give you a little shove, Detective." She said, then left. I sighed.
"What exactly did you tell her?" Liv asked, sitting up carefully. I sighed again.
"Liv, can we not do this right now?" I asked. Liv shook her head.
"No, Stabler, we're doing this right now!" She exclaimed. I looked up at her and saw she was serious.
"Fine. I told her that you were my daughter's mother, work partner, best friend, and the love of my life. Liv, just because we broke up, doesn't mean I stopped loving you." I said, looking down at the floor. Liv grabbed my arm.
"Elliot Joseph Stabler. That is the sweetest thing I have ever heard." She said. I looked up and saw tears rolling down her face.
"Liv, don't cry." I said, moving closer to her. She shook her head.
"It's okay. They're happy tears." She said. I looked at her, confused.
"You don't get it, do you? I broke up with you because I was scared. I was so incredibly scared. I didn't know I was pregnant. But, I was falling in love with you so fast that, I was afraid you didn't feel the same way." She explained. I smiled.
"We wasted four years because we were afraid to ask how the other felt. I do love you, Liv. If I didn't, I wouldn't have been in a relationship with you." I said. She grinned.
"I love you too, El. You know, your daughter was bugging me again last night before you came over. She was asking why we don't love each other. I tried explaining it, but I didn't know that you love me, so it was really hard." Liv said. I sighed.
"Well, now, we have no reason to act like we don't love each other." I said. Liv grinned and grabbed my face. She pulled me toward her.
"Wait, miss, my girlfriend wouldn't like this." I said, joking. Liv stopped.
"I suppose she'll just have to get over it." She said. I laughed, then kissed her. It was better than I remembered. I pulled back.
"Liv, how are we going to do this? Jace is old enough that she notices everything." I asked, worried.
"El, I love you. You love me. Our daughter loves us. What is the problem?" She asked. I shrugged.
"You know, I bought a house." I said. Liv looked at me oddly.
"What? No, you didn't." She said. I nodded.
"I did. About three months after we got together. I knew that I loved you, and I wanted you to live with me. But, then we broke up. So, my kids stay there when things with Kathy get to be too much. They're just waiting for the day to come when I tell them that you and Jace are moving in there with me." I said, now afraid of her reaction.
"Really?" She asked. I nodded.
"That's great! El, that's so great!" She exclaimed. I looked up and she was grinning.
"So, does that mean you're going to move in with me?" I asked, hopeful. Liv rolled her eyes.
"Silly man. Of course. I love you, your daughter loves you, why wouldn't we move in with you?" She asked. I grinned. There was a knock on the door.
"Is it safe? Is everyone clothed? Is everyone alive?" I heard Munch yell. I laughed.
"You guys can come in." I hollered back. Fin, Munch, and Cragen came in.
"Hey baby girl. How you doing?" Fin asked. Liv grinned.
"Better. I'm in love, I'm moving in with my boyfriend, and my daughter is going to LOVE it when she hears about it." She said. Fin looked confused.
"Wait, Olivia, you don't have a boyfriend." He said. I cleared my throat.
"What, do I not exist?" I asked. Munch piped up.
"Elliot, you knocked her up. That doesn't make you her boyfriend." He said. I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"John, Olivia and I are in a relationship. We have been for a whole twenty minutes. Do you get it now?" I asked slowly and sarcastically. His face lit up.
"Oh! Now, I get it!" He exclaimed. I rolled my eyes again. I heard yelling in the hallway. Before I could get out the door, Munch, Fin, and Cragen raced out there. I made my way out there.
"GET OFF! THAT'S MY LITTLE SISTER, YOU CREEP!" Someone yelled. I looked around and saw Lizzie clutching Jacelyn and some guy trying to pull Jace away. The blood drained from my face.
