Olivia and Elliot sat in the exam room of the ER. She was lying in bed and he was sitting in the chair next to her holding her hand.
The doctor walked in holding a clipboard. She looked at Olivia, "I have good news, your blood work came back normal. Your numbers were a little high I'm going to order an ultrasound to see what if there is anything I can see from that."
"Ok and what if I'm too early for an ultrasound?"
"We will cross that road when we come to it. Right now I'm going to bank on the ultrasound."
"Ok how long is that going to take?" she asked frantically.
"It shouldn't take long at all. Um I would say give about 15 minutes for things to process then we can see what is going on." He said trying to ease her mind a little.
"Doctor is the baby in danger?" Elliot asked nervously.
"It's hard to say at this moment. But since there is no bleeding that makes me a little less concerned. I'm going to go put this order in and then we will get right with you."
"Thank you," Elliot and Olivia said in unison as the doctor walked out of the room.
Olivia turned her head to Elliot. He look scared which scared her even more. This man has had five other children and is scared what did that mean for her? "El," she whispered, "I'm scared." Her voice cracked as tears filled her eyes.
"I know baby, I know." He started rubbing her hand with his thumb. "I am too, but you are a fighter so I know that our baby is going to be a survivor."
"I'm so scared that I caused this. What if I did something to harm our baby?"
"Olivia you didn't cause anything. You just need to relax. You are under enough stress ok. You just need to calm down and wait for the results. There is no bleeding that is a good sign and as far as the pain there are a million healthy reasons that you could be having those. Ok? Just relax everything is going to be ok. Do you understand me?" Elliot comforted.
"I love you." She cried.
"I love you too." He responded wiping her tears away.

"We have been waiting for the results of the ultrasound for an hour now. What the hell is going on?" Elliot commented getting anxious.
As if on cue, the doctor walked in the room. "I have wonderful news. We have the ultrasound results back." The doctor said with a look of relief on his face.
Elliot and Olivia smiled at each other most of their worries flushed away.
"Miss Benson you are having twins. The pain you were feeling…."
"Wait! Hold on, twins?" Olivia interrupted.
"When we did the ultrasound we found two heartbeats. They were both strong. They were both looking healthy. From the measurements we took we are estimating that you are around 11 weeks pregnant. I have isolated the reason for the pain. From what you have told me and what the results are saying I would have to say that it is all just stress. Is there any major stress in your life right now?"
"I'm a detective for the NYPD Special Victims Unit; what do you think?"
"I'm ordering desk duty for a week and I want you to make an appointment with your OBGYN and you can go from there."
"So I'm ok? My babies are ok?" Olivia's heart was beating a million times a minute.
"You all three are very healthy. I'm going to get the discharge papers and you can get out of here." The doctor smiled and walked out of the room.
"Twins, Elliot. Twins? I can't believe it."
"I'm so excited baby. Are you ok?"
"I'm fine now that I know that our babies are ok. Elliot we are going to have to get a bigger place. Right now we only have two bedrooms; that is not going to be enough. And we really don't have the money to move right now." Olivia rambled.
"Liv, baby," Elliot said snapping her back to reality. "Everything is going to be ok. I promise."
"I'm scared again Elliot. I don't know what we are going to do and I'm scared."
"I know and everything is going to be ok. Have I ever lied to you before?"
Olivia looked at him with a 'really you just asked that' look.
"Have I ever let you get hurt or go without?" Elliot corrected.
"No," Olivia answered honestly.
"Then why would this be any different?"
"I know but I have never experienced this and I am so scared that it scares me more."
"Olivia I swear to you with every fiber of my being that as long as I can help it nothing is going to happen to you or to our babies."

Olivia and Elliot were finally at home. Olivia didn't want to talk about everything that had happened that day. She just wanted to crawl in bed and go to sleep with the love of her life next to her. When she walked into the bedroom she noticed something was missing. It was her mother's picture.
"Hey El," she yelled.
He was still in the living room, "yea?"
"Have you seen the picture of Serena that was on the dresser?"
Elliot walked into the bedroom. "It's right here." He said walking over to the nightstand on her side of the bed. He picked it up and handed it to Olivia.
"I don't know why it was so important to me." She said in an emotionless tone.
"Because in spite of all she has done to you, she is still your mother."
Olivia's eyes started to well up. "Am I going to be like her?" she asked starting to cry.
"No," Elliot said firmly. "Liv, you are better than that. You are going to be an amazing mother."
"How do you know?"
"Because, I know you. I know that you are a wonderful caring human being. I know that you are passionate about children. I see you work with children on a daily basis; I see the care in your eyes when you look at them. Olivia you are going to be the best mother possible. I just know it."
"I see so much of her in me; it scares the hell out of me. I don't want my children to go through that hell. No child should have to go through that."
Elliot walked over and wrapped her in a tight embrace. "You are nothing like her. You are strong. You are going to make it through all of this. And I'm going to be right there beside you. Making sure you have no doubts or worries. We are going to get through this together."
"I love you," she said into his chest.
"I love you too," she said stroking the back of her head. "You need to get some rest, come on, get in bed. You have been through too much."
She got changed into her pajamas and did as she was told. He followed suit. They cuddled close, and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning as Olivia was getting ready for work she decided to call Kathleen.
"Hello?" Kathleen answered.
"Hey honey I was just calling to check on you. Do you need anything?"
"Of course I'm ok Olivia, I mean I was raped and the guy is still out there and I can't sleep and I can't think and I'm afraid to look out the window. But yes I'm perfectly fine." Kathleen screamed into the phone frantically
Olivia forgot, with all the excitement from the night before, to let Kathleen know that they found the sick bastard that hurt her. Olivia let out a sigh, "Kathleen calm down honey," Olivia started to say.
"Don't tell me to calm down Olivia I was the one that was raped. Not you."
Those words stung Olivia's heart. She was silent. She may not have been the one that was raped but she know what it feels like to be violated and it was not something that she would have thought Kathleen would have said to her.
"Liv, I'm sorry," Kathleen said calmly. "That wasn't fair I'm so sorry."
Tears fell from Olivia's eyes. "We found him Kathleen; we found him and he is going to go away for a very, very long time. You will never have to worry about him he is going to die in prison." She said into the phone. She was trying to hide the fact that she was crying.
"Are you serious?"
"He confessed to raping you, and we found out that he has also raped 12 other women."
The other line was silent.
"Kathleen he will be going away for the rest of his life. He will never be able to hurt you again."
"Olivia," Kathleen said through her tears, "thank you so much."
"This is just the first step to healing Kathleen I am going to give you a number of a very good doctor that is going to be able to help you with the rest. But baby I promise you that it will get better with time."
"Promise?"
"I promise baby with everything I have it will get better with time."
"Thank you, Liv. I love you."
"I love you too baby. I'll call you later. I'm on my way to work." Olivia said.
"Ok Liv, talk to you later."
"Bye babe." With that Olivia hung up the phone.
She finished getting dressed and went out into the front room where Elliot was sitting watching the news with his morning coffee.
He turned as she walked in the room. His smile made her melt.
"I just got off the phone with Kathleen."
"Is she ok? I was planning on stopping over there later."
"I told her we caught him. She was relieved."
"Then why don't you sound convinced?"
Olivia gave a heavy sigh, "Elliot this is the hardest week of my life."
Elliot got up and walked over to her. "Why don't you just call in today and rest?"
"No. I need something that will keep me busy." Olivia protested.
"Is there anything that I can do to convince you to stay home?"
"No," she said. "I'm already on desk duty I don't want to just sit here. Alone. I wouldn't be able to handle the silence."
"Ok, well it's almost time for us to leave. Do you want a cup of coffee?" Elliot offered walking into the kitchen.
"No I have decided to stay away from everything unhealthy for our babies' sake."
Elliot smiled.
"What?"
"I just never would have thought that you would be carrying my children. To hear you say our babies' it just fills my heart with something that I never thought I would ever feel. "
"Elliot you have five other children."
"There is a difference in the feeling of having a child and having a child with someone you love. I love you in a way that I could never love Kathy."
Olivia placed both her hands on her stomach. "Elliot you are the only person I could imagine sharing something as magical as life itself with. If we would never have gotten together I don't think that I would ever have had children."
Elliot looked at his watch, "we have to go. We are going to be late."
XXX
Elliot and Olivia walked into the squad room where everyone was pretending to be busy.
"I'm going to talk to Cragen. I'll meet you over there when I'm done." Olivia said kissing Elliot on the cheek.
She walked into the captain's office and shut the door behind her. "Can I talk to you?"
"Of course," he said gesturing her to sit down.
She sat in the chair and crossed her legs.
"What's going on?"
"I wanted to talk to you alone before it was all brought out and you heard it from someone else." Olivia said taking a deep breath. "I went to the hospital last night."
"What happened is the baby ok?" Don quickly interrupted.
"Babies," Olivia corrected.
"What?"
"It's twins Don."
"Congrats, Olivia, that's incredible."
"There's more," Olivia took a deep breath. She didn't want to verbalize the fact that she would be riding a desk for the next week, because she knew that Don would try to make it longer. It wasn't that he didn't want her in the field; he was her protector; he was her fatherly influence that would do anything to insure her safety. And she loved him for that, but she also loved her job. She hoped he would understand that she was only doing this because the doctor told her it was best for the babies. "I have to be on desk duty for a week. Then I have to go to the doctor and make sure that I can go back out into the field."
"Done," Cragen said without hesitation.
"I don't want you to think that I am going to retire to the desk my whole pregnancy because that's not going to happen. I have to be out there. And according to the book I can be in the field until the end of my second trimester. Then I can be on desk until the week of my due date. And unless a doctor says otherwise that is the plan."
"Olivia your safety and the safety of your babies is number one priority. I understand that you have to work I really do I know that you will go crazy sitting there doing paperwork, even for this week. I know that you are going to try to worm your way back into the field. And I also know that you know no matter how much you try I'm not going to let you." Don responded. "As for you returning in a week depends not only on an OB/GYN clearing but also Wong's. I want you to make an appointment for at least 2 visits during your week of desk duty."
"I don't think that's fair."
"It's not just because of that all this with Kathleen, plus now the pregnancy, Liv you will see a psych before you can return to the field."
"Captain I'm fine really. Just let me do the desk duty."
"It's not open for discussion." Don said firmly.
"Fine, but I don't want to talk to George. I want to find someone else."
"Deal. And I expect a full report."
"Ok. Anything else?"
"Now that you mention it, I want you to take today off. I want you to recover. Go home. We will be fine here without you for the day."
"Captain, I really just want to work. I mean sitting alone is not going to help me none. I just want to get everything back to normal."
"Olivia you will follow orders. I want you to go get some rest."
"Fine. But I refuse to enjoy it." She smiled. She knew the captain was just looking out for her. This was all new to her. She was used to being able to just do her job and not have to worry about her health. Now that she has two babies growing inside her she had to get used to the fact that she was renting her body out and that they needed it to stay healthy until they are ready to come out.
She left his office. Elliot walked up to her and kissed her forehead. "What did he say?"
"Well you get your wish I have to go home for the day and rest."
Elliot smiled, "I'm sorry babe but I told you that it was for the best."
"Yea, yea, yea that doesn't mean that I like it." She commented sticking her lip out like a toddler that isn't getting their way.
"Aww poor baby."
She smiled, "I think that you are going to pay for that when you get home." She gave him a wink.
"I think I might like it."
"Hey get a room." Fin said walking into the squad room. "Don't no one need to see that."
Olivia giggled.
"How you feeling baby girl?"
"I feel fine but they are making me go home. And apparently I'm supposed to do this thing called rest. Does anyone know what that is?"
"I think that it is the opposite of what you would be doing here." Munch said walking in with a file folder.
"Case?" Elliot asked.
"Patty Rite says she was kidnapped 4 days ago and raped repeatedly. The guy never left. When he was done with her he dropped her off in an alley." Munch explained.
"He let her go alive?" Liv asked, hoping no one would realize she was supposed to have left already.
"You are supposed to be home." Cragen said stepping out of his office. "Fin, Elliot you go talk to the girl at the hospital. Munch you call CSU tell them to get to the alley see what they can find. And then you can run his MO and find out if Patty is our first vic."
"Captain I can stay and help Munch." Olivia tried to persuade.
"Home Olivia."
"I'll see you when I get home." Elliot said kissing her quickly, "love you."
"Love you too."

She looked at the gravestone.
Serena Benson
1944-2000
Beloved professor & mother
"I know I don't visit you as much as I should. But I have to be honest. I was very angry with you for a very long time." Olivia said to the stone. "But now I have come to peace with what you have put me through. The embarrassment, the bruises, and the hurtful things you would say to me. I'm over that. I want you to know that I forgive you. I don't want to bring my children into this world with me holding grudges." Tears began to fill Olivia's eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I was so horrible. I'm sorry that I was the worst thing to happen to you. I'm sorry that I needed you. And most of all I'm sorry that I couldn't take away the pain that he caused you." She wiped her face. "You know what I fear the most? I fear that there is some of you in me. I fear that I will end up like you. And that is the only reason that I haven't turned into you. There are other ways for problems to be handled. I understand what he did to you. I understand that you were hurt and violated. I understand that I reminded you of that every day. But no child should have to go through that guilt. I know that you tried. It's hard to love someone who is a reminder you were raped. But did you really need to beat me? I know that I hurt you but I was a child." she wiped her tears away once again. "I vow not to be like you. I will be the mother that I never had. I will be a mother. I will be a mom. I will love my children. I will not blame them for my problems. Not like you. I will not be like you."
Her phone vibrated. It was a text.
From: El
Hey babe did you make it home ok?
"That's Elliot. He's great. We are going to be getting married. He's the father. I'm having twins. It's still too early to tell what they are. I really don't care as long as they are healthy. That's all I want. I just want the two most important things that I have done with my life to be healthy."
To: El
I haven't made it there yet. Had to make a stop first
"I wish you could be here to see me happy. I know that you would hate that. You would hate to see me now. I don't let what you did to me affect me anymore. I have a wonderful life now. Now that I don't have you here reminding me of what a horrible life I caused you. All I wanted was a normal life with a normal mom. But you had to make sure that didn't happen. I would cry every night hoping you would hear me so you would know that you were hurting me more than you were destroying your life. And as sad as it is the more that you would beat me the more that I would fight for your love. I wanted you to just look at me and tell me that you loved me. Hold me and tell me that you were proud of me. That is all that I wanted from you. I guess that I never was good enough for you to love. That is where we are different. I am going to hold my children every day and tell them that they mean the world to me. I will not let them believe that they are alone. I will not let them feel like anything that happens to me is their fault. They will never know the pain you can cause thankfully. Thankfully they will have me as their mother and not you. If there is a god out there may he know that I will never be like you."
Tears fell from her eyes as she looked at her phone to view the latest message from Elliot.
From: El
No stress! Go home and rest!
To: El
I am going home had to do something first. Do you want me to bring you lunch later?
After she sent the message she wiped her tears away. She looked at the headstone once again. "I promised myself a long time ago that I would not hold any of what you did against you. But like you couldn't help but hate that I was alive I couldn't help but be angry about it. I know that I have said some hurtful things to you but you deserve them. And I will try to make sure that my children know how important what happened to you was. And I will tell them about you. When they are old enough to hear the details of what happened to you of course. And when they are old enough to understand what you put me through. I will tell them everything when I think that they can handle it. I just want you to know that. Even though you did me the way that you did and that you hurt me every day of your miserable life that I will still tell my children that it wasn't your fault. I know that you couldn't help but to drink. I know that it was the only way to take the pain away. I know that you wouldn't have done to me what you did if you were sober. But the days that you were sober came few and far between. And I will tell them the truth about it all. You will not be idolized by me. That is for sure."
She turned and started to walk away. Then she stopped and walked back over to the headstone, "and another thing I am something. I became something. And someone does love me. And he always will."
With that said she walked back and got in her car and slammed the door. Then she lost it. Tears fell fast and hard. She couldn't help but to sob. She didn't want to. Her mother had done nothing but cause tears and pain in her life. It wasn't fair for her to still be doing it after death.
She looked at her phone trying to calm herself. She had another message from Elliot.
From: El
Why don't we meet up away from here? I could bring u lunch
To: El
El I can handle coming in to bring you lunch. I wont work I promise
Why does everyone think that I am going to break? She thought to herself. She threw her phone in the cup holder, started the car and drove off. There was still another stop she had to make.

Olivia stood outside the door. She inhaled deeply and knocked. She was trying to prepare herself for the state that Kathleen was going to be in.
The door swung open and there she stood. It still looked like Kathleen. She didn't look like the same person Olivia seen just the morning before. She looked like the little girl that Olivia remembered.
"Liv," Kathleen said, throwing herself around Olivia.
"Hey, I just thought that I would come by and check on you." Olivia said wrapping her arms around Kathleen surprised.
"I'm good." She said backing up.
They both walked into the apartment. Olivia sat down on the couch in the living room. Kathleen did the same sitting close to Olivia.
"Where's Jason?"
"He's taking a shower. Can I get you something to drink?"
"No I'm fine thank you." Olivia shifted so that she was facing the love of her life's daughter. "Kathleen are you sure you're ok?" Olivia asked concerned. Kathleen was acting like nothing happened and as great as it was to see her as herself again, Olivia knew that this was not going to last. Not without professional help.
Kathleen thought for a moment before answering, "I just want to forget that this happened to me, Olivia. If I just pretend that it never happened then I think that I'm going to be just fine. And it has been working for today."
"Honey it's not that simple. I think that you should see someone. There are support groups and…."
Kathleen cut her off, "is there a reason that you need to be here Olivia?"
Olivia's chest tightened. "Kathleen I just want you to get better."
"I am better Olivia!" Kathleen said raising her voice.
"But I can see that you're not. You need to talk to someone."
"How would you know what I need?" she snapped. "You have never been through what I went through. You have never been violated in that way."
Olivia thought about her next words carefully. She didn't want to push Kathleen over the edge any more than she already was. "Kathleen I told you what I went through. And yes I needed professional help to get me through it."
"I'm not you." She said softly, dropping the anger in her voice. "I'm doing just fine. Yea what he did to me was horrible. I just want to let it go. You said that you got him, you said that he confessed. I just want this to be over with so that I can live my life. Like a normal person. So that I can just love Jason, and live happy again. I don't want to think about what he did to me. I don't want to have to go through that again. Just please I just want to forget that it ever happened. I don't want help. If I think that I need it then I will get it. But I'm doing fine."
Jason walked into the living room from a hallway. His hair was still wet. "Hi Olivia. What brings you here?"
"Just checking in." Olivia said still looking at Kathleen. "Making sure that Kathleen is doing ok."
"I'm fine I told you that already."
"Did you tell her about the nightmares?"
"Jason just stop." Kathleen said sharply.
Jason and Olivia looked at each other.
"I have been trying to get her to call a doctor all morning and she refuses."
Olivia gave a slight smile. That sounded just like Elliot. Even when mandatory he didn't want anything to do with doctors.
She knew that Kathleen was going to have to come around in her own time. She couldn't force her to get help. All she could do was be there for Kathleen when she needed her. Jason was going to have to do the same.
Olivia looked at Kathleen and knew that this was going to be a challenge getting her help. Just like it was before. She is too proud, just like her father.
She took a deep breath. She looked at her watch and remembered she was supposed to bring Elliot lunch in a half hour, "I think I'm going to go I'm supposed to meet up with your dad for lunch. I just wanted to check on you," she stood up and walked over to Kathleen and wrapped her in a hug. "You don't have to do this alone," she whispered in her ear.
She stood up and walked toward the door, Jason followed. "Thank you Olivia." He said once they were out of ear shot of Kathleen.
"She just needs time Jason. She will come around and we are all going to be there for you. Both of you." She said.
Without warning Jason wrapped his arms around Olivia. "I really mean thank you. She isn't going to listen to me. But I know that she will listen to you." He said leaning back.
"Jason she isn't going to listen to anyone. She is a Stabler." She said with a small smile. "But she will come around. She loves you. Don't forget that. She is going to push you away fast and hard, she's not going to mean to, but she will. If you just hang in there it will get easier. You have to be strong for the both of you right now." Olivia turned to leave. She turned around before Jason closed the door, "Jason call me if anything…."
"I will," he said before she could finish.

Olivia walked into the squad room with three large brown paper sacks. Everyone was busy at their desks.
"Hey guys," she said walking to her desk. "I brought some food from Vinnie's. Elliot didn't say what everyone wanted so I just got the usual." She said as they all huddled around her awaiting their lunch.
After everyone had their food and said their thank yous, Olivia took a Styrofoam container and knocked on the captain's office door.
"Come in," she heard from the other side.
She opened the door and walked in. "just thought I would bring you guys some lunch."
"Liv I told you to go home."
"I know and I will I just thought that you guys were going to be busy so I brought you lunch. I'm not here to work I'm going to go home I promise." She said handing him his meal.
"Well thank you," he said.
"Don, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Of course," he gestured for her to sit.
She sat in the chair opposite his. "I went to see Kathleen today."
"How was she?"
"She was a mess. She thinks that if she just pretends that the attack never happened then she can just live a normal life and move on. She is having nightmares. She won't talk about it to anyone. She is struggling and I don't know how to help her."
"Liv all you can do is be there for her when she needs you."
"I know that. But I just feel like she is going to hurt more if she doesn't face this."
"She will, but you can't force her to get help and talk about it. You know this."
"Yes I do but I just want to do more."
"We always want to do more. That's why we do what we do. But there is only so much that we can do. The rest is up to them. They have to realize that they need help and if Kathleen doesn't want help no one can force her."
"There has to be more that I can do. I mean you didn't see her Don she is a wreck. She just isn't going to recover from this if she keeps acting like it doesn't exist."
"All victims recover differently. I agree she needs help but live you know she is going to have to realize that in her own time. You know as well as anyone that everyone heals differently Olivia."
"That's another thing Don. When I took Kathleen to the hospital I told her about Harris. And she keeps throwing that in my face saying that I have no idea how she feels because I wasn't raped. And I know she is right. But I was assaulted. I did have nightmares and I tell her that and I think she feels like I am trying to compare my situation to hers. And I'm not. At least I'm not trying to. I love this girl like she is my own child and I think that is why I am so lost as to what to do for her. The last victim I was this close to was my mother and she was an alcoholic and I honestly see Kathleen trying to deal with her hurt the same way as my mother. And I don't know how to stop that any more than I did with her."
"Olivia Kathleen will open up. She just has to know that you aren't going to go anywhere. She might try to self-medicate with drinking but that is when you be the mother of the situation and get her help. Have you told Elliot that you visited Kathleen?"
"No but I will. I think that maybe he can convince her that she needs help."
"Olivia this is going to take a toll on the whole family. And I know that you know that. I know that you are going to have a tough time with this but will you please relax? That is why I sent you home all of this is not good for the little ones in there. We caught the creep that did this to her. Now it is just a matter of healing. The process begins with acceptance. Once you have broken ground on that. It will become easier. There is only up. And you will be there to help her. She knows that. All you have to do is make sure that she doesn't forget it. You and Elliot and Kathy have to make sure that you are there when she needs you."
"Don I'm not even sure that she has told Kathy. And I don't think that it is my place to tell her and Elliot sure as hell is going to tell her."
"What about the boyfriend?"
"She isn't opening up to him either. He is the one that told me about the nightmares and she told him to just leave it alone."
"I have a friend that might be able to help. I'll call her and tell her the situation see what she thinks would be the best way to approach Kathleen."
Olivia gave a half smile. "Thank you Don."
"Now you get home and I don't want to see you I'm my squad room until tomorrow morning. Do you understand?"
"Yes captain."
With that said Olivia walked out of his office and into the squad room.
"You ok?" Elliot asked as she walked back to her desk.
"I'm fine. Uhh I went to see Kathleen today. And I needed an unbiased opinion."
"About what is she ok?"
Olivia gave a sigh. She didn't want to discuss this in front of everyone. Or at this moment in time for that matter her emotionally unstable morning was starting to take a toll on her. "Can we talk about this when you get home?"
"No we can talk about it now. What's wrong with Kathleen is she ok?"
"She's not coping Elliot. She is in denial. She thinks that if she pretends that it never happened then it will all get better. Whenever someone mentions it she just changes the subject or she will lose her temper."
"I'm going to see her after work." Elliot said setting his fork down.
"Elliot I think that maybe we should just give it a couple days. When I talked to her this morning she was breaking down. And now she is acting like it never happened. She just wants to let it go. Don said that he is going to make a call to a friend to see about some input on the best way to approach her. And I think that we should just wait to see what they say. You didn't see her today. She was off. She snapped a Jason when he was talking to me told him to just drop it. She needs help and I'm not sure how exactly to give it to her. I feel helpless." Tears began falling from Olivia's eyes.
Elliot stood up and walked over to Olivia wrapping his arms around her securely. "We will wait. And maybe this friend can help us all."
"Why am I such a mess?"
Elliot kissed her forehead, "that's the hormones baby. It will get be ok."
