60 Hours.

60 long painful hours.

"Did you want me to go pick up Archie and Fate from school?" Liz asked placing a supportive hand on Alex's knee.

Alex just looked up, struggling to come up with an answer.

"If you want me to stay with you Lena said she would go get them and bring them here, she has to pick up her granddaughter, and they go to the same school." Liz explained, so Alex didn't feel guilty for sending a woman who she was particularly close to, to got and collect her kids.

"Please, can you stay here?" Alex asked her voice weak and quiet.

"Sure, let me go call the office. I'll be right back, do you want a coffee or something?" Liz asked with a sad smile.

"No, I'm okay thank you."
"At least drink something Alex, you've had one bottle of water in the past 2 days." Liz urged.

"Fine, Coffee please." Alex said avoiding eye contact. Alex and Liz had been sat in this run down hospital waiting room for nearly 60 hours.

Almost 3 days.

Melinda had a few broken bones, but she was going to be okay physically. Whether she would make it mentally was a guessing game at the minute.

Nick and George had been pronounced dead at the scene; Fin and Amanda dropped by the hospital as often as they could to see the captain, who had a few broken ribs and a damaged spine; along with the brain damage he could be paralysed but he seemed to be able to talk okay.

Olivia was the worst off.

She was now in a coma, and doctors we're not sure whether she'd wake up.

When the plane went down, it dropped so suddenly Olivia was trapped in the bathroom, bashing her head multiple times, breaking various bones, cracking some ribs. Doctors had been to speak to Alex. Alex knew to expect the worst.

"Lena said she'll bring them here once she's dropped Lilly off home." Liz said handing Alex a cup of coffee.

"What do I tell the twins?" Alex asked. Shocking Liz, Alex couldn't speak to them team for some reason; she couldn't bring herself to do it. John had offered his support when he dropped by with Faye yesterday but she said she was fine.

Lies.

"Until you know for sure that Olivia won't wake up you just tell them she's really poorly and is sleeping." Liz said. She had never had children, so she didn't know what she was meant to say.

"Lena would know better than me love." Liz said with a smile.

Alex smiled at Liz's attempt to help; she smiled back but then avoiding the older blonde's eye.

Soon enough Lena brought the kids to the hospital to see Alex.

"I wasn't sure what you were planning on doing, so if you want me to take them to get some dinner I can." Lena said after Alex had hugged both her children.

"You've done too much already..." Alex began.

"Okay then, is there anyone else they can stay with Alexandra?" Lena said.

"No, not really."
"We can look after them then." Liz said. Alex sat shocked, she had no idea either women could be so kind.

"Then there was me thinking you hated me..." Alex said with a small laugh playing with Fate's hair.

"Alexandra we don't hate you, and this is very different to being in a courtroom." Lena said before mentioning coffee and disappearing with Archie in tow.

Alex was shocked that the same woman who put her in a cell for contempt was the same woman who brought her children to the hospital.
In court, she always seemed like an evil bitch when really she was just doing her job...
"Mrs Cabot?" A female voice came.

"Is my wife okay?" Alex asked almost immediately.

"She is still in a coma. I wanted to ask you about something else, maybe your friend could take your daughter out for a minute?" The Doctor said pointing to Fate then Liz.

"Come on Fate; let's go find your brother." Liz said with a smile taking Fate's hand and leaving rather fast.

"I'm DR Foster, I am head of the ER, and I wanted to talk to you about a case of mistaken Identity." Dr Foster said. Alex calmed down slightly knowing she made a positive I.D on Liv.

"Rafael Barba had hold of Dr George Huang's name badge when the plane went down, and due to the autopsy reports we know that Mr Barba is, unfortunately, dead." She began, Alex took in a sharp breath, she had never been close with him, she remembered only speaking to him once, but she was still upset he lost his life.

"So George, he's alive, he's okay?" Alex asked sitting up more.

"We believe so, I would like to ask you to make a formal I.D, just so we're sure." Dr Foster said knowing how hard it must have been for Alex.

"Yes, I will I.D him, but first, can someone give me an update on, Olivia Cabot, Melinda Warner and Donald Cragen?" She asked, being concerned for Don and Melinda's welfare and not just her wife's.

"I will do that now for you before I take you down to the ER." She said smiling slightly before she got up and left. Within minutes Liz and Lena returned with the twins and Alex quickly explained what was going on, shocking both women to hear about the death of the ADA, they were most probably still recovering from the shock of it all, including the loss of Amaro.

Alex had never felt more relieved when she positively I.D'ed George.

"He's going to be fine." The staff nurse said with a smile.

"George, it's Alex, you're going to be okay." Alex said walking over to him. He was still a little drowsy from all the pain meds but he could hold a conversation.

"Olivia, Melinda, how's Don, Barba was on the plane, and so was Nick?" George asked in a bit of a panic.

"Olivia's in a coma, I am still waiting to hear if she'll wake up, Melinda has a few broken bones but physically she's going to be fine, Don might end up being paralysed from the waist down, and they're waiting to see if he has any long-term brain damage. I am sorry but Rafael and Nick didn't make it, they were pronounced dead at the scene." Alex said, a tear leaving her eye as she remembered being told.

"Olivia will get through this; she has you to fight for and the twins." George said doing his best to comfort her.

George had a broken hip and a damaged neck plus a lot of facial damage but he seemed to be keeping as well as he could.

"I hope so." Alex said she knew if she said much more she would end up in tears.

"Go back to her, just don't forget about me, yeah." George said, smiling a little more when he saw Melinda being wheeled in.

"I'll come and see you soon." Alex said kissing his cheek before doing the same to Melinda, then leaving to go back upstairs and wait.

Walking back up the stairs to the waiting room, she walked in and both older women refused to meet her gaze.

"What's going on?"

"The children went with the nurse to Olivia's room, you should go too." Lena said, still refusing to make eye contact.

Alex just looked at them in shock before moving quickly to get to her wife's room.

She was just about to ask what the hell was going wrong when she saw it.

Olivia sat there in bed, smiling at their children.

"She woke up about 10 minutes ago, so we took the BT out, we want to keep her in for ob's but she's responding well, no brain damage, some broken bones but nothing that won't heal. She's been asking for you." A male nurse said smiling at her.

"Thank you." Was all Alex could come up with at that point... Walking into the room she smiled at Olivia when she turned to look at her.

"Hey..." Olivia said, her voice still weak.

"Why don't we give Mama and Mummy some space?" Liz said from the door having followed Alex in. Both children said their goodbyes giving hug and kisses before following Liz most likely back to the waiting room.

"I thought I'd lost you."
"I know..." Olivia replied taking her wife's hand.

"I'm not going anywhere you know that right..." Olivia continued, and Alex just nodded before bursting into tears.

"I love you so much." Alex whispered her voice cracking.

"I love you too, I love you so much, Alex..." Olivia said moving so her wife could lay with her on the bed.

"Take it we're taking these two home then." Lena said to Liz looking through the window.

"Most likely." Liz said looking down at the two of them who seemed happy enough in their own world.

A year later.

Walking into the squad room it still looked the same.
Olivia was doing well given she was in the hospital for a while, her left hand was broken in 3 places but it seemed to heal well.

She was stood with Alex and they were completely alone until Fin, Amanda, John and Faye turned up.

"Did the twins fall asleep in the car?" Amanda asked smiling.

"No, no, they're probably raiding the soft interview room." Alex said with a smile.

A moment later they were joined by George and his partner; George seemed to recover fine. He was now blind in one eye and only had limited use in his right hand.

They were followed in by Melinda, her husband and her daughter. Melinda's bones couldn't be fully healed in her leg so she now had to use the aid of a walking stick, which wasn't too bad.

Cragen was last to come in, in his wheelchair being pushed by his new girlfriend Kim. He was paralysed from the waist down and due to the brain damage he could only use his right arm.

"How does it feel the Captain?" Cragen asked Olivia.

"Strange, very strange." She admitted quietly. Everyone was son sat down around the table.

"I wanted us all to come together again as SVU." Olivia said smiling.
"I'll go see the twins, hey Faye you coming?" Kim said smiling as her and Faye left, Melinda's daughter not far behind, Melinda's husband said he would pick her up when she called and George's partner said the same before they both left.

Each of them had a drink in hand, ranging from water to alcohol.

"To Captain Olivia Cabot and the Special Victims Unit." Cragen said holding up his bottle of water with tears in his eyes.

"Captain Olivia Cabot and the Special Victims Unit." Everyone repeated before taking a sip of their drinks.

They knew they would be chatting for a while.

There had been many changed is SVU, losing people, gaining people, but this would by far be the biggest change yet.

"To fallen friends and absent colleges." Olivia said now getting very emotional.

For the past 3 years, they had been together as a team, some detectives had been together longer than that, but SVU always had the same captain and the same head detective, and now all that had changed.

"Fallen friends and absent colleges." Everyone repeated again before they all looked at each other.

It wasn't going to be the same tomorrow, but tonight it was just like before.
