If it weren't for the fact that they were in a busy hospital and there was noise coming from every direction, the doctor would have heard Elliot's heart breaking in that moment. All of a sudden his entire world came crashing down on him and all he could do was stand there with his mouth open and his heart bleeding on the floor.

"What...what do you mean she's in a coma?" Half hoping that the doctor was going to tell him that he'd misheard him and that Olivia was fine and was being released so that they could go back to her place and have dinner as planned.

"Well it seems that her blood sugar dropped considerably and as a result it put her body into shock, and then the coma."

"Blood sugar? What does that mean?"

"Apparently your wife has diabetes, did she know about this?"

"She's my partner and what? No, I mean I don't think she did."

"Well it's very serious and if you hadn't been there to call 9-1-1 when you did, she probably would have been a lot worse. You can go in and see her if you'd like, we're not sure though when she's going to wake up; it could be a couple of hours, it could be days. But she's one stubborn woman and I think she's going to be just fine."

Elliot stood there taking in everything that he had just been told and was staring off into space when he realized that the doctor started walking away. He followed him into Olivia's room and if there was anything left of his heart he could feel it crumbling onto the hospital floor when his eyes beheld what was in front of him. There in front of him lying in a hospital gown was Olivia. She had tubes and IV's coming out all over her body, and as he looked at her in horror, tears began to stream down his face. All he could think about was how pale and fragile she looked just laying there. He pulled a chair from over in the corner of her room next to the bed and sat down. And what came next surprised him, he folded his hands and through the tears he began to pray.

"God, I don't know if you're listening...I know that we haven't spoken in a while and I'm not even sure anymore if you even exist but if you are up there and are listening to me then I have a huge favor to ask of you. I know I have no right to be asking anything from you and I know that I shouldn't just decide to become religious when I need something from you but... This woman lying here in front of me means the world to me, and if you could just make sure she's all right then I'll never ask for anything again. I just...I love her and I don't think that I can make it in this messed up world without her so please God, please." And with that he closed his eyes and laid his head down next to Olivia's and fell asleep.

She opened her eyes as slowly as she could; her head felt like it was going to explode. As her eyes began to adjust to the light she suddenly realized that she had no idea where she was and began to panic. She tried to sit up and a wave of pain rushed over her and she decided that it might be better if she just stayed lying down. Out of the corner of her eyes she caught a glimpse of something sticking out of her arm and she looked down and saw the IV in her arm and that really made her panic. She tore the IV out of her arm and winced slightly at the pain of the needle sliding out of her arm and she tried to climb out of bed when all of a sudden an alarm started going off. Two nurses rushed into her room, pushed her back into bed, and carefully re-inserted the IV into her arm.

"Wh-where am I?" She asked meekly

"Hun, you're fine. You're in the hospital you passed out from low blood sugar and your body went into shock. You're partner called 9-1-1 and they brought you here but you've been asleep for about two days now." The nurse chuckled slightly. "That partner of yours is some guy, hasn't left your side since you were brought in, demanded that he be able to sleep here, so that he could be here when you woke up. Now that's what I call a partner." The nurse said with a wink and with that she started to walk out of the room.

'Two days? I was out for two days? What happened to me? He stayed with me for two whole days' Olivia looked around the room and realized that Elliot wasn't there and shouted after the nurse, "Wait…nurse…where is he?"

"I finally made him go down to the cafeteria to get something to eat, didn't want to end up with both of you in here! Wait he's coming up the hall now, I'll leave you two alone so that you can talk, I'm sure that he'll fill you in on everything that's been going on the last couple of days. If not the doctor will be in to see you in a few minutes and I know he will."

"Thank you"

And with that the nurse walked out of the room and Olivia laid her head back onto the pillow and closed her eye. She felt bad about waking up when Elliot wasn't there because he had waited by her side for two days she figured she'd pretend to still be asleep and then wake up again. She heard the door squeak open and someone walk in. She opened her eyes the slightest bit to see Elliot sitting back down into the chair next to her bed. She quickly shut her eyes in fear that he would see her as he scooted the chair all way next to her bed and laid his head down on the pillow next to hers and reached for her hand. He grabbed her hand and entwined his fingers with hers as he let out a long sigh of worry and squeezed her and. And to his surprise she squeezed his hand back, he looked up to her face as he slowly saw her eyes opening up and he smiled and a wave of relief washed over him.

"Hi sleepyhead." He said as leaned up and gently kissed her forehead.

"Hi there. How long have I been asleep?" She asked trying not to giggle.

His eyes got somber as he looked at her and whispered, "two days."

"What happened?"

"Apparently your blood sugar dropped and you went into a diabetic coma. I was worried sick about you. The doctors didn't know when you would wake up and I wanted to be here for you when you did so I've been staying here."

"What? A diabetic coma? I don't have diabetes." Olivia said in confusion.

"Well evidently you do now." He said leaning down to rest his head on her pillow again so that he could be eye to eye with her again. "Liv I was scared out of my mind. Don't you ever do that to me again?" Elliot said with a slight chuckle, but being completely serious.

"Detective! You scared? Please, I know you better than that." She said in a playful tone.

"Liv I'm serious I was scared out of my mind that you weren't going to wake up and that I would never see you again."

"I'm sorry." Olivia looked down, not wanting to meet his eyes that had pain written all over them. It ate her up inside knowing that she was the cause of the pain that he was feeling and that there was nothing that she could have done to avoid it.

"You know detective, if you wanted to get out of making me dinner the other night you could have just cancelled on me, I would have understood. You didn't have to go to such elaborate lengths to make up an excuse for not cooking for me." Elliot tried to say with a straight face.

Olivia laughed and then cringed from the pain in her stomach. She hadn't eaten anything in two days and had been on a Saline drip to sustain her body and her stomach was growling. And in that moment it hit her, and her face lit up as she looked at Elliot and simply said,

"Chicken Françoise."

"Huh? What about it? Are you hungry or something?" Laughing at her sudden outburst of food.

"No, well yes but that's you're favorite food!" Olivia said with said glee that you'd think she'd just discovered the cure to the common cold.

"Ummm...yes it is, what's your point? I know that you've been in a coma for two days Liv but I didn't realize that you were delusional." He said teasing her lightly. He was so ecstatic that she was alright that he was grinning like a fool and he knew that there was nothing in the world that could kill his mood at that moment.

"I wanted to make your favorite food for you the other night, but I couldn't remember what it was. And I didn't want to ask you I thought that you would be upset that I didn't remember what it was." Olivia said a little bashfully.

"So you really were trying to get out of making me dinner...I see how it is." He said playfully.

"I'm sorry I forgot and I'm sorry about all of this."

"I forgive you." And with that Elliot leaned over and kissed her lightly on her lips. Olivia would have sworn that the world stopped moving in that instant that he kissed her and in that moment she realized how lucky she was to have him. Here was a man that hadn't left her side in two days, despite the fact that he had to be at work and despite his own comfort, just to be there for her when she woke up. Finally Elliot leaned back and broke their kiss and smiled at Olivia.

"What was that for?" Olivia said softly smiling back up at him.

"That was because I love you." Elliot said back to her as he brushed the hair gently from her face.

Olivia's heart skipped a beat as she stared at the man sitting beside her. Had he really just told her that he loved her? Could this really be happening? No man had ever told her that they loved her before and as the world revolved around the two of them; she knew that nothing else mattered right now except for the blue eyed man sitting before her. And with that she leaned up and kissed him again. As she nuzzled her head into his neck, she simply whispered,

"I love you too."

After two days of observation and instructions about her after care, Olivia was released from the hospital. Elliot had to be in court that morning and couldn't pick her up so Cragen offered to give her a ride home and helped her get settled in. He had just left after bringing in all of her things and insisting on setting her up on the couch so that she could relax. She let out a long sigh as she looked at the kit the hospital had given her sitting on the table in front of her. She really detested needles, the sight of them made her squirm and the thought that she was going to have to inject herself with a needle at least once a day. She looked up at the clock, it was 4:30 and Elliot would be there within the hour and dinner was already in the oven cooking. She had decided that she would make him chicken franchise as a thank you for everything that he'd done for her. She'd nearly cried when the doctors had told her that if Elliot hadn't come looking for her and found her there at the cemetery that she might have died. She laughed to herself at the thought that she really would have 'died without him'.

"Stupid clichés."

She muttered into thin air as she laid her head back to rest a while before Elliot got there. She opened her eyes after what seemed like five minutes and looked up at the clock that read 5:15 and she jumped up off the couch, grabbing the blankets and her pillow as she got up.

"How the hell was that forty-five minutes? Ughhh, he's going to be here any second!"

And with that she ran into the bedroom and threw down the blankets and pillow and opened her closet door. She had told Elliot to wear something nice because she wanted to treat him to a fancy dinner for two. She looked at the clothes in her closet in disgust; there was nothing to wear in there. Finally she decided on a long black cocktail dress that she had worn to the policeman's ball a couple of years ago. She grabbed it off the hanger and threw it onto the bed. She hated getting ready in a rush but at least she'd taken a shower that morning so she didn't have to do that. She walked over to her dresser and pulled out her black bra and matching underwear and grabbed a pair of stockings. She got dressed and walked over to her full-length mirror to look at herself, when her appearance met her approval she went back over to the dresser. She opened up her jewelry box and threw on her silver cross and "dangly earrings" as Elliot referred to them. She pulled on a pair of black heels and walked into the kitchen and looked around.

She had already set the table and it looked spectacular. She had found a red silk tablecloth in her linen closet and put that on the kitchen table. And there were candles and flowers on the table, just what was needed for a romantic dinner for two in her mind. She walked over to the oven and took the chicken franchise out of the oven and grabbed the mashed potatoes and corn from off the stove and made up two plates. She set them on the table and lit the candles when there was a knock on the door. She glimpsed at herself in the reflection of the microwave and then went to the front door. She took a deep breath and opened it to find a stunning Elliot in a tuxedo standing before her.

"El, you look...you look amazing." She said as her she looked him up and down. He really cleaned up good.

"Wow" Elliot just stood in her front doorway and stared at this creature of beauty standing before him, he always thought that she looked beautiful but tonight she was just amazing. Olivia reached over and shut his mouth and grabbed his hand and pulled him inside. Once inside he looked around and smiled at the table in front of him. After he had taken in the romantic scene before him, he snaked his arms around Olivia's waste and pulled her close to him. He kissed her softly and then leaned back and looked into her chocolate brown eyes that sparkled in the candle light.

"You look absolutely stunning tonight Liv."

"You don't look half bad yourself." She said with a smile. "Come on lets eat."

Elliot escorted her over to her side of the table and pulled her chair out for her, "Madam"

"Why thank you sir." Olivia said giggling.

And with that they sat down at the table and Elliot smiled to see that she had made chicken franchise for him. They talked as they enjoyed their meal until it was time for desert and Olivia stood up to take their plates to the kitchen. She rinsed off the plates and put them in the dish washer and then pulled the cake out of the fridge. She had made a German Chocolate Cake, Elliot's favorite but with a twist. She'd used fudge instead of icing to make it richer and she was really hoping that he'd like it. She cut two slices, and placed them on plates and carried them into the dining room.

"Is that chocolate cake?" Elliot asked with his eyes lighting up.

"No, its German chocolate cake." Olivia said as she smiled as his eyes lit up even more.

She placed the plates in front of them both and sat down. Elliot greedily dug into the cake and took a bite. He leaned back as he savored the delicacy that was just set before him and moaned slightly.

"Oh my God Liv, that's amazing." Elliot said after he'd swallowed what was in his mouth.

"Thank you, I wanted to make you something to thank you for being there for me this past week."

"You didn't have to..."

"I wanted to." She said as she smiled over the table at Elliot.

"Thank you for this, for all of it."

"You welcome."

They finished up their desert and Elliot helped Olivia clear the dishes and clean up. He was putting the wine glasses into the dish washer when Olivia started laughing.

"And what may I ask is so funny?" Elliot asked putting his hands on his hips.

"You...doing dishes...in a tuxedo." She said between bursts of laughter.

"Oh yea well I think that you look pretty hot doing dishes in that dress." He said grinning.

She blushed and smiled at him as he closed the dishwasher door and took a step towards her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and slowly pulled her towards him until their bodies were up against each other. He leaned down slightly and as his lips met hers she melted in his arms. Olivia felt like everything around her was spinning and yet nothing mattered but his lips on hers. They slowly managed to walk over to the couch in the living room without breaking lips. When they finally sat down, Elliot noticed that their kisses were becoming more intense and increasingly more passionate, and he could tell that Olivia was beginning to lose her composure in his arms. Olivia leaned back and laid down on the couch and pulled Elliot on top of her while still never breaking their kiss. He moaned softly as she ran her tongue over his and bit his lip slightly. She pulled her head back, and looked into his beautiful blue eyes and with a smile on her face said,

"I love you Elliot Stabler."

"I love you too Olivia Benson."

"Hey El?"

"Yes Liv?"

"I was wondering…would you like to stay…"

And with that both of their cell phones went off at once. They both groaned as Olivia reached for hers and flipped it open.

"Detective Benson…"

"Olivia we got a problem." Elliot could hear Cragen's voice through the phone and made a mental note to kill him for interrupting them on their night off.

"What's up capt'n?"

"We just got a call from patrol about a thirteen year old boy that was just thrown out of a second story window; I want you and Stabler down there stat."

"But capt'n that's homicide not us, what's up?

"He's not dead, a bus is on the way, but apparently while the cops were cutting away his clothes they found major scaring and evidence of long term sexual abuse. I need you two there now!"

"Okay what's the address?" She grabbed a pen and a piece of paper and jotted down the address that Cragen spouted off at her. She looked at it and her jaw dropped open.

"Capt'n are you sure you got the right address?"

"Yea, I double checked I thought the same thing as you." And with that he hung up the phone and Elliot looked at her intriguingly and asked,

"So where we going, should I change and go get the car?"

"Go get changed and no we don't need the car…"

"Why where are we going?"

"Next door…"
