The next morning, Elliot awoke to Olivia's arms around him. He moved a bit, but it was enough to wake her up.

"Good morning," he said.

"Good morning," she replied.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Yes I did. My first good night's sleep in weeks. I do have one question though."

"Yea?"

"Why are you doing all of this for me? Taking me out here to this cabin, giving me food, making love to me?"

"Because I love you, Olivia. I've cried for you every night since you went missing. I never moved on because I knew that someday I would find you. And now, you're back in my arms and my life is complete."

"My gut is telling me to go back to Boss, but my heart is telling me to stay here with you."

"That's because the drug is working its way out of your system and you're starting to get your memories back."

"I don't even want to think about what happened or Boss. I just want to stay here with you."

"I'll be here as long as you need me."

"I'm going to take a shower," Olivia said. "Do you want to join me?"

"Yes," he replied.

She got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, turning on the shower. She stepped inside and then felt his presence behind her. She turned to face him.

"You're beautiful."

She cut off any more thoughts by kissing him.


A knock on the front door was heard about twenty minutes later. Elliot and Olivia had just finished another round of passionate lovemaking and she did not want to leave the bed.

"Stabler?" shouted a voice. "It's Amaro!"

"Who's Amaro?" Olivia asked.

"He's a co-worker. He knows we're here. I promise that he won't hurt you."

Olivia threw on a bathrobe and Elliot quickly put on a pair of underwear, pajama bottoms, and a grey shirt. He opened the front door.

"Nick, what brings you by?" Elliot asked, stepping aside and letting him enter.

"Cragen told me to check on you and see how things were going up here," Amaro replied. He saw Olivia sitting on the couch.

"And how are you doing?" he continued.

"Good," she replied. "I slept well last night."

He turned to Elliot and pulled him aside.

"Do you think she's back to normal yet?" Amaro questioned.

"No, not yet, but she's come a long way. She's feeling comfortable staying around here, but part of her wants to go back with that freak. She's fighting hard."

"And how are things between the two of you?"

"Pretty good. Last night she seemed to hate me, but then I started talking about my life before she was taken. And shortly afterwards, that's when things got heated."

"Wait, man, are you saying what I think you're saying?"

"Yes, Nick, she and I made love several times already."

"I'm happy for you. Well, I'll tell Cragen that things are doing good up here and I'll be back in a couple of days."

Nick left the cabin and Elliot headed out to the living room to be with Olivia.

"I have something for you," he said. He pulled out her wedding rings that he had retrieved from Evidence. "These are your rings."

"They're beautiful," she replied.

Elliot got down on one knee and held out the engagement ring.

"Olivia Serena Benson-Stabler, will you marry me again?" he asked.

"Yes," she said.

He was happy that things were finally going back to normal. Olivia had been without the drugs for almost five days. In the shower, she told him she remembered everything-their wedding day, their jobs, the days before they started going out, and when she had been taken. She had finally broken free of the lies she'd been told.

"Shall we go to the bedroom and celebrate our second engagement?" Elliot asked her, taking her hand.

"Yes please," Olivia said, getting off the couch and kissing him. He picked her up and swiftly carried her down the hall and set her down on the bed. He undid her robe and let it slide to the floor.

"You're absolutely gorgeous," he replied. "I've always loved how your body looks."

Once she removed his clothes, she looked him in the eyes and said, "Make love to me. I know it hasn't been long since our last session, but I need you."

"Your wish is my command."

And he took his time with her, pleasuring her and making sure that she understood how much he cared about her.

"El, please, I need more," she said. Over and over he repeated his movements until she started screaming his name.

When they finished, Olivia curled up next to him and he wrapped his arms around her.

"I love you," he said.

"I love you too."

Two days later, the couple headed back to SVU and Olivia was going to the doctor to see if her mental status was good enough to return to work.

"I have good news and bad news," the doctor told her after some tests were conducted. "The good news is that you are well enough to return to work. The bad news is that you've miscarried. I'm so sorry."

Olivia started to cry. She couldn't believe that her baby was gone. How was she going to tell Elliot the news when she got home that night?

She decided to let her body take care of the miscarriage itself and not go through any medical procedures in order to remove the deceased fetus. She asked for the discharge papers, signed them, and headed outside. Elliot was outside talking on his phone with Cragen.

Suddenly, Olivia got a bad gut feeling. She started walking towards her husband when two arms wrapped around her waist.

"ELLIOT!" she screamed before a hand clamped over her mouth. She was being dragged over to a car off in the distance. She managed to get her mouth free and screamed his name again.

He turned around and immediately dropped his phone and started chasing after the masked figure. But he wasn't quick enough.

"DARN IT!" he shouted when the car sped away. He picked up his phone and dialed Cragen again. "Cragen, we have a problem. Olivia was just taken. I wasn't fast enough."

"We also got another problem. The man known as Boss has escaped."
