Damn, all of you want Kathy dead! Well, even I can't bring myself to do that, because I have too much respect for her. Anyway, you wanna know what happened to her baby? Well, in this chapter, you're about to find out.
And, I'm sorry for not updating yesterday. A really bad snowstorm invaded my home, so I couldn't get it up in time. Updates this week and next week will be slow to come because of the holiday also, so I'm putting 'Escape' on the back burner for a little while.
Oh, and I noticed something. At the end of season seven, Kathy told Elliot she was pregnant. In season eight, she looked to be about six and a half months pregnant. So, for the sake of this story, she's about seven months pregnant.
Enjoy and happy reading!
Lots of love, hugs and kisses from your resident writer and friend, Nina!

It's a good thing Elliot and Olivia had two days off from work this week (starting today), because they would've been too sore to do anything.
Is it any wonder why they have sex basically all the time now? Because that what they did when they got home last night. Have sex.
Or is it making love?
This morning was no different.
You'd think they be tired after three furious rounds of lovemaking last night, but that wasn't the case. They made love for the forth time, then they finally had the chance to get some much needed sleep. But, when they woke up at 6:00 am, all hell broke loose. They ended up all over each other once again.
"Oh Elliot, oh God," Olivia moaned as he pounded in and out of her. She wrapped her legs over his back to keep him close to her. She loved the feeling of having him inside of her. It was like they were experiencing pure pleasure for the first time; not that they were complaining. She knew she was never gonna run away from him.
"Olivia," he grunted in her ear as he quickly picked up the pace. He started nibbling on her neck tenderly, careful not to leave a mark. He didn't wanna brand her his because she already was. From the moment they met to when they finally revealed their feelings for each other, she was his and he was hers. And nothing's gonna change that.
She dug her fingers in his back and moaned when he drove deeper and harder inside of her. The bed rocked dangerously low, but he knew he was in for a new bed, anyway. Besides, he was more concerned about bringing his sexy girlfriend to pleasure paradise. He groaned in her ear as he kept going in and out of her.
He loved seeing the drugged expression on her face. He bit down on his own lip to keep himself from going crazy. He loved seeing her when she's on the verge of convulsing. To see her eyes closed, mouth parted open and face breaking out in a sweat turned him on even more. He didn't care if she scratched him numerous times. He'll wear them with so much pride.
When the time came, they both reached paradise at the same time; calling each other's names out in unison. They both held each other as a second climax sealed their fates. Afterwards, they just laid on the bed with their arms around each other; exchanging soft kisses and ardent touches.
"I'm glad we don't have to work today, El," Olivia laughed softly.
Elliot kissed her forehead gently and smiled. "Me, too, baby. Just imagine what would happen: Munch, Fin and Lake would have a field day if we came in with goofy smiles on our faces. I wouldn't be able to live it down for weeks."
"Me, too," she giggled.
"Well, we have today and tomorrow off, sweetheart. What do you wanna do today?" he asked as he held her tightly.
"Stay in bed and play with you," she said, batting her eyelashes, which made him laugh.
"As much as I would love to do that, my kids are coming home today and I don't want them to be traumatized when they see us naked," he laughed.
"Well, I suppose we could get up. I have to go home, anyway," she groaned as she proceeded to get up.
"Why?" he asked as he climbed out of bed.
"Well, I need to check my answering machine, to check mail, to call some people I haven't spoke to in a while and..." her voice trailed off.
"Or you can just move in with me and the kids," he replied, catching her off guard.
She was shocked. "What did you say, El?"
"I said you can just move in with me and the kids. I love you, Olivia and I'm not gonna stop loving you. You've been so wonderful with us in the last several months. I know what you're thinking: you don't wanna rush things, and baby, you're not. The kids absolutely adore you. Hell, Dickie has a crush on you. Please, I know I'm being too pushy, but will you as least think about it?" he asked seriously.
She went over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. She pressed her lips to his lightly before she pulled back and looked into his sultry blue eyes.
"I'll think about it. Give me til next week to make my decision, okay?" she asked, smiling slightly.
He kissed her nose gently. "You got it, babe."

Henry's patience was wearing thin.
Since they brought Kathy in, he got upset when he couldn't go in there with her. Even though he was upset with her at the moment, he wanted to be in there with her for the sake of their child's welfare. Pacing around the lobby, he folded his hands behind his back as he kept waiting for an update. He was tired, bitter and he just wanted to hurt someone because he couldn't be there for her right now.
"Mr. Fillmore?" Doctor Jensen called out when she approached him.
"Is Kathy and the baby okay?" he asked frantically.
Jensen looked sad. "I'm sorry, Mr. Fillmore, but I'm afraid we're gonna have to keep her here. I don't know how long; but the prognosis is not good. Her stress level is extremely high and being that she's over forty, there's a chance that the baby may not survive."
"Oh, my God," he breathed, looking upset.
"The best we can do right now is if there's another extreme contraction, we'll have no other choice but to perform an emergency C-section. It'll be the only way we can save the baby," Jensen replied.
"Please, save Kathy and save my baby," he pleaded desperately.
"Doctor! We have a problem! Ms. Maynard just had another contraction and she's bleeding!!" one of the nurses shouted.
"Please help her!" Henry said as Jensen took off running. He sat down on one of those hard chairs and put his head in his hands. He was losing patience and it showed. He loved Kathy and he hoped and prayed that she and the baby were gonna turn out all right. But, as the doctor mentioned before, there's a good chance that his baby may not survive.
All he can do right now at this point is pray really hard.

"Elliot! Stop! I'm ticklish!" Olivia giggled when her boyfriend started tickling her stomach.
"Not until you tell me I'm the greatest lover you ever had!" he growled playfully.
"OKAY! YOU'RE THE GREATEST LOVER I EVER HAD!" she roared playfully.
"Thank God," he breathed before he slanted his mouth on hers ruthlessly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down on top of her. She couldn't get enough of this man. It was like he was her junkie and she desperately needed a fix right now. It's amazing that she can still walk even after what the did last night and early this morning.
"I love you, El," she moaned when she felt his lips sucking on her neck tenderly.
"Hmm, I love you, baby," he murmured just as the door burst open. They could hear the kids coming in.
"Dad! Liv! We need to go to the hospital right now!" Dickie exclaimed, changing the mood right away.
"Why?! What's wrong?!" Elliot screamed, thinking that something bad must've happened to one of his co-workers.
"It's Mom. I know she's the last person you wanna deal with, but Henry called us at my apartment and said that something's wrong with her. I think she's going into premature labor," Maureen panted, looking worried. Even though they haven't spoken in three months, the kids were still worried about her.
"Okay, we'll all go together," Elliot said as he grabbed his keys from the coffee table and got up from the sofa, with Olivia trailing close behind.
"Kathy's not due for another month and a half. What happened?" Olivia whispered as they walked out the door.
Elliot shook his head. "I don't know. A part of me feels she's faking it so she can drag me down there. But, another part of me feels she's really hurting. But, I'm not sure if we should go down there. After all, I did catch Henry and Kathy in the act and I can't seem to forget it. Plus, she attacked you in front of the kids."
"I know, baby," she replied as they stopped in the tracks. "But, we need to put our bitterness aside for the sake of her baby."
He kissed her forehead gently. "Why are you always right, Ms. Benson?"
"I have a knack for it," she smiled slightly.
They got in the car and took off, actually hoping and praying that Kathy and the baby were gonna be all right.

After hours and hours of excruciating pain, Kathy prematurely gave birth to a beautiful baby boy.
Only for him to die in her arms just minutes afterwards.
Laying in her hospital bed (and looking depressed), she held her face in her hands as she cried openly at the loss of her child. As if losing her older children was bad enough, her son, her beautiful baby boy died in her arms. She never felt so heartbroken in her entire life. Kathy couldn't help feeling sad when her son smiled at her for a moment before he closed his eyes permanently.
This was all her fault. She had no one to blame but herself. She put too much stress, too much agony and too much anger on herself. With everything that happened; losing Elliot to Olivia, her children cutting off all contact after she attacked Olivia in the park and her relationship with Henry unraveling, more and more stress and depression lurched inside of her.
God, why does everything have to be messed up in my life? I lost Elliot, I lost my children, I lost my son and I could still lose Henry. I don't know how to live anymore, she thought sadly as the door opened.
"Kath, honey, how are you feeling?" Henry whispered when he stepped inside.
"Our son's dead! How do you think I fucking feel?!" she snapped at him.
"I'm sorry, Kathy. I'm upset and sad, too," he said honestly as he pulled up a chair and sat down.
"I can't believe this is happening! I lost our child! I'm never gonna recover from this!" she roared, angry tears falling from her eyes.
"I'm sorry," he said softly and attempted to wrap his arms around her, but she brushed him off.
"Don't. I don't need your sorry pity right now," she said bitterly.
"Well, okay. Um, Elliot and the children are right outside," Henry announced.
"What?! Did you call them?!" she screamed at him.
"Well, they were worried about you, Kath," he said, getting angry.
"I can't believe you! They made it perfectly clear that they didn't wanna have anything to do with me anymore and you called them! I don't wanna see them!" she snapped.
"Come on, Kathy, don't you think you're being a little bit paranoid?" he challenged her.
She glared at him. "I'm not being paranoid, Henry! I lost everything! I lost my family, I lost my son, I lost you! I have nothing now!"
Henry knew he wasn't getting through her, so what was the point of trying now? He slowly got up and began heading towards the door. He stopped only once and looked over his shoulder; shaking his head in disbelief as he watched the woman he was supposed to marry crying and being all upset. She really lost her mind.
Please, God, save her before it's too late, he thought sadly as he opened the door and stepped out of the room.
Meanwhile, Elliot, Olivia and the Stabler children waited patiently outside. They held in their breaths when Henry appeared a moment later.
"She doesn't wanna see you; all of you. So don't hold your breath," he simply said, looking disheveled.
"S-she doesn't wanna see us?!" Maureen asked, not believing her ears.
"I'm sorry, guys, but, she went off the deep end. She thinks you guys came because you just felt sorry for her," he said softly.
"I'm sorry about your loss, Henry," Elliot said honestly.
"Yeah. Thanks, man. And I'm sorry what I did. I hope in time we can be friends again," Henry said, hoping he would say yes.
"It'll take me some time to forgive you and Kathy, but I don't want us at each other's throats anymore. Tell Kathy that I'm sorry for her loss and that our hearts go out to her," Elliot said before he, Olivia and the Stabler children left.
Henry let out a little smile. He took the first step to repairing his relationship with Elliot. Now, all he has to do is make sure Kathy doesn't end up in the psych ward.
I'm sorry to inform you, but I have about a couple of more chapters to go because, I'm working on a sequel to my highest rated EO story to date 'Hurting'. Since I didn't kill Dean, there is an escape planned. Stay tuned and I'll see you tomorrow for my 'Looks Good on Paper' update!
Please review!
