A/N: A shout out to Cinderella1268. Thank you so much for your review! Also thank you for the one to the last chapter of "Baby, My Baby". I hope this one came quick enough for you. ;)
Chapter 2
"Come on Baby Girl. Wake up," Fin was trying to encourage the downed Sergeant whom he had moved to her couch. The paramedics had been called and Barba had effectively pushed Tucker out of the office and out of the bullpen.
"I got rid of Tucker," he said as he returned to the office.
"Good. That bastard has to be insane," Rollins was really fuming. Everyone knew that Johnny D. was going to be a headache for the Sergeant but she had been the one that insisted upon Noah being able to find out about his birth parents. Moreover, everyone knew her dedication to the job. She would never put Noah or her job in jeopardy.
"What have we got?" The first paramedic asked as he entered the room. He was a tall, muscular man, who seemed all about his job. Fin took him for former military given his posture and shaved haircut.
"Sergeant Benson just collapsed. She's pregnant," Tutuola explained.
"Ok, let's take a look," he said. The moment his stethoscope touched Olivia's skin she bolted upright before groaning and falling back down on the couch.
"Whoa, easy there. Can you tell me your name?" The paramedic asked.
"Olivia," she said.
"Good. My name is John. My partner, Abbie, and I are going to check you out ok? Your heart seems fine but we need to check your blood pressure," he tried to reassure her. His smaller in stature, dark-skinned, partner, Abbie, got out the blood pressure cuff and took a reading.
"Why is the room spinning?" Olivia asked. Fin grabbed the nearby trash can, afraid she was going to vomit.
"That's because your blood pressure is pretty low. When was the last time you ate anything?" Abbie asked.
"Just a little while ago. It's not lunch time yet," Olivia said. Abbie eyed her partner and he nodded.
"We're going to get you onto the stretcher ok? I think we better get you to the hospital and get them to run some tests," John explained. Abbie headed out into the hallway and snagged the gurney. When she was leaving, Olivia looked like she was going to object when Fin said,
"I'll ride with you." He then turned to Rollins and said,
"When Elliot gets here, tell him where we went and what is going on. If I know him, he's racing here as quickly as he can but he had to finish up with a witness."
"On it. We'll see you there," the blonde nodded. The two paramedics quickly helped the Sergeant onto the stretcher and wheeled her out into the hallway, Fin in tow. Rollins scooped up Olivia's personal effects that she had dropped and took them to Elliot's desk.
"What is going on Barba?" She asked, once her task was complete.
"The guy who shanked Johnny D. claims that Olivia ordered him to kill Johnny and in exchange she would use her influence to get the charges against him reduced," the ADA explained.
"What?! That's stupid! The Sergeant would never do that! Tucker has to know its crap too. Taking the word of a convict over her?" Rollins was incensed.
"I know. There has to be more to it but my guess is that IAB is holding back from me. I probably only received the information I did because a friend of mine who would be assigned the case thought I should know," Barba told her. Just then, Elliot rushed into the bullpen with Carisi on his heels.
"What happened?" He asked.
"They took Liv to the hospital. Come on, I'm driving," Rollins said. Carisi promised to stay behind, as someone had to man the phones. Rollins told him she and Fin would be back as quickly as they could and then she and Elliot rushed out of the precinct. Barba shook his head and headed back to his car. He had some digging to do at his office.
Rollins had put on the lights and sirens and she and Elliot had reached the hospital in record time. The blonde could tell that Elliot was putting on a brave face but by the way he was gripping the poor door handle during the ride, she knew he was a mess.
"We need to see Sergeant Olivia Benson," she flashed her badge at the nurses' station.
"The doctor is examining her now. Has her family been notified?" The middle-aged nurse asked.
"I'm her family," Elliot lied.
"All righty. Well take a seat and I'll get you when the doctor is done checking on her," the nurse pointed to the waiting room and the two detectives went to wait. Rollins knew that Elliot would not be sitting down but she had to tell him what had happened.
"Elliot, we need to talk," Amanda said.
"How could this happen? She was fine this morning when I left the precinct," he shook his head, the pacing already beginning.
"It might have something to do with what Tucker said to her this morning," Rollins told him. Elliot stopped pacing and gave her a look. She gestured to the seat next to her and he took it.
"What was that bastard doing at the precinct?" He asked.
