Authors Note -

Okay, so here is chapter two.

This is dedicated to Ad Hominem Argument because if it wasn't for her you wouldn't have this chapter so soon.

I haven't written this chapter on paper yet so it's going straight from my brain to your computer screen.

Disclaimer: I still have that $15 in my wallet if Dick Wolf is interested.

So, I hope you like this chapter my fine and furry friends. (Don't ask)

"Olivia has Acute Appendicitis." Dr. Michaels informed Elliot.

"Oh." Elliot nodded, "What does that mean?"

"It means we're going to have to remove her appendix. When was the last time she ate?" The doctor asked.

"Um, about 12:30. She threw up about an hour ago." Elliot added.

"Ok, we'll get her into surgery at 7:00pm just so we can be sure she hasn't eaten anything for 6 hours." Dr. Michaels jotted down a few things on her clip board then turned to Elliot again, "I'll be back in an hour to prep her for surgery."

With that said, the doctor left.

Elliot went back to Olivia and sat on the edge of her bed. He caressed the side of her face and smiled a slightly. She was soft to his touch and made his fingertips feel as if they were in heaven.

"Hey." Olivia said opening her eyes.

Elliot quickly withdrew his hand and smiled back at her, "Hey, you gave us a bit of a scare there."

"Huh." Olivia crinkled her brow then looked around the room, "Where am I?"

"You're at the hospital." Elliot sighed.

"Oh ok." Olivia sighed, "Argh" Olivia winced as she tried to move, "That hurt. Ow."

"Try not to move. You have acute appendicitis." Elliot informed her.

"Can I have some more drugs or something? This is killing me." Olivia grimaced.

"Ok, I'll call the nurse." Elliot pressed the buzzer on the Olivia little remote control.

Two minutes later a nurse walked in.

"What is it you need Ms Benson." She asked.

"Can I please have some more painkillers…this is… killing me…" Olivia grinned at her lame joke.

Elliot shook his head.

The nurse checked Olivia's chart then looked up, "You can Ms Benson but after this no more. Okay?"

"Yep. Sure. Whatever, Give me the morphine." The nurse fiddled around with some syringes and pipes and soon enough Olivia's pain subsided.

"How's that?" The nurses asked.

"Better." Olivia sighed leaning back into her pillow.

Suddenly the door of Olivia's room burst open.

"Oh my god Olivia!" Are you okay!?" Cragen said striding towards the bed.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." Olivia's words were drawn out slightly and her voice was the tiniest bit higher than normal.

"Are you high?" Cragen asked, in a serious tone.

"Noooo." Olivia grinned.

"She's doped up on morphine." Elliot explained, "She has appendicitis and they have to remove her appendix tonight."

"Oh." Cragen nodded, not sure of what else to say.

"You're not mad at me are you?" Olivia asked.

"Why, Because you got sick?" Cragen asked.

"Uh huh." Olivia nodded.

"No, if course not Liv!" Cragen walked over and gave Olivia a hug and placed a fatherly kiss on the top of her head, "Get better. I have to go because I left Fin and Munch in charge."

"Okey dokey." Olivia smiled

"Bye Elliot. Oh, by the way, Fin and Munch will be around later. Bye all." Cragen left and closed the door behind him.

"God, I love morphine." Olivia sighed.

"I know." Elliot shook his head and smiled.

"Do you know what else I love?" Olivia asked him

"What?" Elliot replied humoring her.

"I love where I work. I love my work. I love who I work with I love working with you Elliot." Olivia smiled looking at him.

"I love working with you too Olivia." Elliot found this all very amusing, aside from the fact that Olivia would be going into surgery soon.

"And and and…" Olivia yawned, "Do you know what else I love?" She said letting her eyelids flutter shut.

"No. What else do you love, Olivia Benson?" He asked.

"I love you…" She sighed matter-of-factly.

Elliot was silent for a moment. Had he just heard what she said properly?

"Wh-What?" He stuttered.

Olivia's only reply was her light, even breaths indicating she had fallen asleep, leaving Elliot like a 15 year old glued to a television after it flashed "To be continued" at the end of their favourite show.

Elliot's mind was spinning and the only thing he found that could stop it was that Olivia was in fact medicated, which meant she probably didn't mean what she said…then that little voice popped into his head.

Probably

It told him.

She probably didn't mean what she had said which only leaves for the possibility that she might, in actual fact, have meant it.

Elliot was now confused as all hell.

Maybe she did mean what she had said. Maybe she does love you like you love her.

Then the negative jumped in.

It's against the rules. Olivia wouldn't fall for her partner.

You can't fight love. It's not possible.

Good point.

What the hell?? You're not meant to agree.

Elliot, himself, interjected.

Too bad. He's right.

Yep. You love her.

And she loves you.

You know she does.

You can't fight this forever.

Can too.

Can not!

Both voices told him at once.

"Oh my god. I'm going crazy. I'm actually getting voices in my head… and listening to them as well as fighting them. Shit. I am loosing my mind." Elliot mumbled quietly to himself as he rubbed his face.

There was a light knock at the door and Elliot looked up. Dr. Michaels entered with a wards man and two nurses, ready to take Olivia up to prep.

Neither person exchanged a word as the doctor fiddled with various chords and cables. The nurses put Olivia's hair into a cap then lifted the sheets and washed Olivia's abdomen and then wiped it with antiseptic.

When they were done the wards man lifted the rails of the bed and began to wheel Olivia out.

"See you soon Liv." Elliot mumbled.

"She'll be fine." The doctor reassured him then left the room as well and Elliot was once again alone.

6 hours later

"Elliot… Elliot…"

Mrmph…errr…

"Ahhh…no, no stop!"

Elliot sat up abruptly and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

Damn, these chairs are uncomfortable.

He looked wearily around the darkened room and realised Olivia was back from surgery.

"Err…" Olivia cried out in her sleep, "Stop it, please stop…" She began to sound like she was sobbing, "Elliot…Elliot…" She murmured desperately.

Elliot quickly stood and walked over to the bed.

"Liv, Olivia. Olivia, you have to wake up." Elliot gently touched Olivia's shoulder.

Olivia's eyes snapped open at the lightest touch. She quickly sat up and looked around, not sure of where she was.

"Oh my god", she gasped, touching her hand to her abdomen.

Olivia looked up at Elliot, "Elliot, where am I? What happened?" Olivia was slightly shocked by her surroundings.

"You had Appendicitis. They had to remove your appendix." Elliot informed her, sitting down on the bed.

"Why did you wake me up?" Olivia asked, still shaking slightly.

"You had a nightmare and were crying out." Elliot explained.

He saw a flash of fear in Olivia's eyes and could tell she was beginning to tremble more.

"Oh…" She murmured.

"Olivia," Elliot began quietly, "What was the nightmare about?" He asked cautiously.
