Casey

Letter seventy seven. I hope you've kept all of these, this is more writing than I did in all four years of High School. I'm scheduled to come home in two weeks, so you'll end up getting this right before I get there.

I'm excited to see you again, but I will miss some of these guys. We became a family out here, it's almost going to be strange trying to adjust to life at home again. But I think if your there I can do it, no problem. And no, I dont mind if Liv moves in at all. I actually I wish I would have thought about that, it would have made me feel alot better knowing your not home by yourself every night. But if she has been practically living there then I know your fine.

I just wish I knew what you've been hiding from me, I know you have good reason but it does worry me. If its you having thoughts about other girls, I promise I dont mind, just wait until I get back to act on them. Sorry, I'm just kidding...Sort of.

I love you, and I cant wait to see you. But I cant write anymore tonight, time to pack up again.

I miss you, I love you, your my everything.

Elliot

Casey looked at the letter again. It had been almost six weeks since she had talked to him, the letter had arrived two weeks ago. He should have been home by now, she should have at least heard something. She sighed and sat down in the recliner, still staring at his last letter.

"Case? You alright?"

"Shouldnt I have gotten a call or something? Anything to tell me that his plans were changed?"

"Not necessarily, maybe they got caught up in something. You never know." Liv shurgged and tried not to sound worried. "He's doing top secret stuff, maybe they wouldnt let him call or something like that." Liv was just as worried as Casey was, but she couldnt let her see that. Casey had been having pains in her stomach ever since she realized how much time had passed without hearing from Elliot. She was stressing herself out and it wouldnt help her at all if Liv did the same.

"Liv..." She looked up at her, tears filling her eyes, "I dont know what I'll do if something has happened." Her hand flew to her stomach and she closed her eyes in pain. Liv knelt down next to her, her hand also on Casey's stomach.

"What can I do Case?"

The phone started ringing and Casey just whispered, "Answer the phone please."

Liv got up and went to the kitchen. Casey couldnt hear what she was saying but she didnt have to wait long before Liv brought the phone to her. "

"It's the marines," she whispered.

Casey snatched the phone away and answered quickly.

"Hello?...This is her...What?...Where is he?...Can I go see him?...He doesnt-...Where is he?...Thank you." She hung up and let the phone drop to the floor. Liv went to her instantly, helping her out of the chair and towards the door. Casey grabbed her keys and passed them to Olivia. "You drive, veteran's hospital."

Olivia helped her into the car and hurried around to the driver side. She glanced over at Casey, obviously worried, but knew that she couldnt say no to her right now. She drove quickly, knowing that this was an emergency, but she kept a close eye on Casey. She was sweating, her eyes were frantic and she looked as if she was going to panic. Olivia knew that something was seriously wrong, but right now wasnt the time to ask.

They pulled up to the veterans hospital and Casey got out of the car before Olivia had even shut off the engine. She ran up the steps and to the front desk, Olivia close behind. She caught the attention of a nurse immediately, nearly yelling when she asked for him. "Lance Corporal Stabler, where is he?" The nurse looked to the front desk but Casey wasnt going to wait, "Where is he?" The nurse, a small woman with a timid face, answered her instantly.

"Floor three, room eight. But-Ma'am!"

Casey went running for the elevator, she was unsteady, in a state of panic, Liv followed her as closely as possible. When Casey reached the room she stopped dead in her tracks. Liv looked through the windows and saw why. There was three doctors in the room, talking to a dazed Elliot. When one of the doctors came out of the room Casey stopped him quickly.

"Doctor, wait!! What happened?"

He looked at her, "And who are you?"

"I'm his wife, Casey Stabler."

He folded his hands and looked at her, his eyes surveying her pregnant belly. "His unit hit a landmine, he wasnt in the direct explosion but we found a significant amount of shrapnel in his left leg and left side of his abdomen. We removed all that we could find when he got here, and his x-rays dont show any more."

"Then what's the problem? Why are there three doctors in there?"

He sighed and answered her quietly. "He has amnesia, we think he suffered a blow to the head. He doesnt remember anything. Not even his name."

"So he...he..."

"He doesnt remember his history with the marines, he doesnt remember the men in his unit, he doesnt even remember you." He held a hand out to steady her, "I'm sorry Mrs Stabler."

Casey looked to Olivia, then stepped away from the doctor. She watched as the other doctors left the room and then she went in slowly.

"Elliot?"

He looked up at her, no recognition in his eyes. "Uh, yes?"

A tear slipped from her eye as she took the chair next to the bed. "You dont remember me? Oh Elliot. I'm your wife, Casey."

He shook his head and closed his eyes, "They told me that I was married. I have a picture of you still, I didnt know...I'm sorry but I dont remember."

She nodded and looked away. She stood up slowly, went outside and went to Olivia, who happened to be talking to one of the doctors.

"Are you Mrs Stabler?" Casey nodded and looked up at him. "Has anyone told you anything?"

She nodded. "Shrapnel removed from his left leg and abdomen, and the amnesia."

He nodded. "We havent found any evidence of a head injury which leads me to believe that this is emotional amnesia. I have no definate way of knowing but something like losing a comrade that he had become close to could have triggered this. Do you know anything about his unit that could help?"

Casey searched her mind, internally scanning all of the information that he had given her over the last five months. Her mind caught a name. "Travers...Thats the only name he ever gave me."

The doctor looked down at his clipboard, flipped through a few pages and looked up at her, "Private Travers was killed during the attack."

"Do you think thats why he's..."

"It's hard to tell Mrs Stabler. It's really only a theory until he regains his memory."

She nodded and looked back at him. He was staring at her through the window, straining to remember her, wanting to remember anything. She looked to the doctor again and excused herself. She stepped into the room but stopped, her vision went blurry, her body swayed and she fell to the floor.

"Casey!" She heard his voice, yelling loudly, before everything went black.

Olivia ran to her, when she turned her body over she saw a small blood stain on the front of Casey's dress. She yelled for a doctor and looked up at Elliot, who was ripping IV's out of his arm and frantically climbing out of the bed to go to her. Olivia stood back as doctors and nurses swarmed over her, she looked up to see a doctor and a male nurse pushing Elliot back into the bed. But they were unsuccessful, Elliot shoved them off and hit the nurse square in the jaw, they backed off instantly and he flew to Casey's aid. A gurney was brought in, Casey was lifted onto it and wheeled out of the room. Elliot looked at Olivia, "What the hell happened? She didnt tell me she's pregnant."

"Oh my god. You remember, if you know that she didnt tell you, then you remember."

He looked at her, blinking hard, "Well yeah..."

Olivia hugged him tightly, catching him off guard. "How long have you been here?"

"Three days." She let him go and he went back to his bed, he sat down but didnt allow the doctor to come near him still. "I-I didnt know who she was. The way she looked at me, and then she just hit the ground. It all came back to me so fast." He looked up at Olivia, "Do you think she's-"

"They'll take good care of her."

Elliot nodded and stood up again. He looked at the doctor and pointed to the door, "Go find out where they took her. I want to be there. Go."

The doctor nodded and disappeared. He sent a nurse back to tell him where she was, and he and Olivia headed to the room. They werent allowed inside until the doctors were finished, so they sat in the armchairs in the center of the hall and waited.

The clock ticked slowly, time seemed to be passing so slowly, it drove Elliot crazy. Almost an hour later the doctor came out of the room and Elliot jumped to his feet. "Lance Corporal Stabler? There was a problem with the pregnancy."

"Is she alright?"

"Yes, we stabilized her and shes going to be fine."

"What about the baby?"
