A/N: This chapter is for Benson-Baby. I hope you like it. Please read and review for the next chapter.
Disclaimer: Are Elliot and Olivia going at it like bunnies? No? Well you can be sure I don't own it.
Elliot had been at the scene of the car accident involving his daughter and his wife's best friend. A family friend. Annalise's godmother; for nearly half an hour when a yellow taxi pulled up just outisde the barriers, which had been set up around the perimeter. He saw the back passenger door opened and his wife stepped out. She still had the hospital issue sweats on and stubbornly limped over, painfully slowly.
Stabler ran up to his wife. He was angry because she had left the hospital and frustrated because she didn't listen to him but was not surprised that she didn't because that's just who she was. Her family and friends came before herself and that's what made her Olivia Benson-Stabler.
He embraced her and gently pulled back with a quick kiss on the lips. "Baby, what the hell are you doing here?" His voice void of any anger.
Olivia sniffled. Her tears visable now. She couldn't tear her eyes away from the crashed cars and the firefighters and the paramedics working.
"My baby girl...Anna?! Casey?!"
Elliot rubbed his wife's arms, making full and complete eye contact with her.
"They're both conscious, baby. Annalise is in that bus right there, refusing to go to the hospital," he said, pointing to it, "think you can convince her? She truly is your daughter."
Olivia nodded, ignoring the playful jab. "W-what about Casey?"
"She's stuck against the steering wheel but they've nearly freed her. She's strong, baby."
Olivia bit her bottom lip with a slight nod of her head and walked over to the open ambulance which her stubborn daughter was sitting in.
As she got closer, she could hear Annalise yelling the paramedics.
"Get the hell away from her! I'm fine! Piss off!"
"Annalise Skye Benson-Stabler!" The mother spoke firmly.
The teenager's head snapped up hearing her mother's stern voice. She jumped out of the ambulance and ran in to her mother's arms.
Olivia hugged her daughter close and finally sighed in relief. She kissed the younger brunette's head and whispered in her ear. "Stop being stubborn, young lady. We're taking you to the hospital."
"Mom," Annalise tried to protest.
"Stop! Stop trying to be like me, baby. It won't do you any good, trust me. Please. Please, Anna. No more acting like me. Be your own person," Olivia practically begged.
Annalise sobbed and backed away from her mother. "I finally get it. Took me this long but I finally get it."
"Get what, baby?" Olivia asked confused and reached for her daughter.
The teenager recoiled and backed away a few more steps. Out of Olivia's reach. "You...you are embarrassed by me. You...you have never forgiven me for that day at the mall when I was thirteen...since...since then you've perferred Ayden over me," she said and sobbed.
Before she could continue or back away, Olivia wrapped her arms around her and pulled her close, refusing to let go, no matter how much Annalise struggled and hurt her already injured body.
Annalise heard her mother inhale a sharp, painful breath. Knowing that she had hurt her mother, she stopped struggling against her.
Olivia put her lips to the teen's ear and spoke in a firm whisper, "you listen to me, young lady and listen good...I love you and am definitely not embarrassed by you. You are my daughter. My baby girl. I have forgiven you for that day, Anna. I forgave you before it even happened...as for me perferring your brother over you... I do not know where you got that from because I love you both the same. You understand me, baby?"
Anna sniffled and nodded in to her mother's shoulder. "Yes, mommy. I... I love you too and I'm so sorry."
Olivia rubbed Annalise's back and kissed her cheek, being careful of the forming bruise. "Hospital?"
"Yeah," the teen replied as they slowly pulled away from each other.
"Liv! They got Casey out!"
"Oh thank goodness. Give her my love and go with her. I have to go with Anna."
Elliot nodded and gave his wife a quick kiss before running over to the rushing paramedics pushing Casey on a gurney to the other ambulance.

Olivia sat on the chair beside Casey's hospital bed, since Annalise was given the all clear by the doctor.
The red head lay tucked under the covers, asleep with an oxygen cannula running in to her nose, providing her with extra oxygen to help with her shortness of breath that she ws suffering from due to the steering wheel being slammed in to her chest.
Casey groaned and rubbed her temples a she woke up slowly. She opened her eyes and saw her best friend in the seat beside her bed and her husband sitting beside her on the bed, holding her other hand.
"Hi, honey. Hi Liv," she whispered.
"Hi Case," Olivia said and got up, giving her a friendly kiss on the cheek.
"I'm so happy to see you awake. I'll visit back later so you can have some private time with Mike."
"Thanks, Liv. Oh, how is Anna?," Casey replied.
"Anna is just fine. She was given the all clear and is at home with Elliot. I'll see you later, honey," she said with a small smile.
"Ok, Liv. I'm glad Anna is ok," she replied and watched the brunette walk out.

Olivia knocked softly on her daughter's bedroom door.
"Come in," came Annalise's positive reply through the wooden door.
The mother opened the door and walked in to find the teen sitting on her bed, doing homework. Olivia guess she was working on her history work because she saw the text book.
Annalise turned off her music and looked at her mother. "Aren't you supposed to be back in the hospital?"
The older brunette shook her head. "No, they gave me a list of things to be on the look out for. If I suffer from just one symptom on the list they want me to go back to the hospital but I am fine to be home. They didn't want me to but you know I hate hospitals," she informed her oldest child, caressing her cheek, being careful of the bruise and the cuts on her face from the glass breaking in the accident.
The younger brunette nodded. "Ok."
"What you working on? Need some help?"
"No thanks. I'm going take a break."
"They found out who crashed in to you and Aunt Casey."
"Really?"
Olivia nodded. "It was your biological father."
"Is he dead?"
"No. He is in the prison hospital ward, sweetheart. He's going back to prison. He won't be able to hurt us anymore, baby," the mother promised her child with a kiss on the cheek.
Annalise took a deep breath. She wanted to say something but just didn't know how to say it without upsetting her mother.
Olivia took her daughter's hand in hers and caressed the back of it. "It's alright, baby. What is it?"
The teenage Benson-Stabler licked her dry lips and looked in to her mother's eye. "I want to meet my biological father properly."
Olivia gulped. "Why?"
"Because he is my father."
The older brunette nodded and got up off the bed. "I'll arrange it in the morning for you. Goodnight," she whispered and gave Anna a quick kiss on the forehead before heading to the door.
"Mom? What's wrong?" Annalise asked, confused at the mother's reaction.
Olivia shook her head. "Nothing. Goodnight, honey," she said and shut the door behind her.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Elliot asked his wife, walking down the hall.
"Nothing, honey. I'm going to bed."
Elliot gave her kiss on the lips and a gentle hug. "Ok, honey. I'll be there soon," he whispered.
"Ok. I love you. Goodnight."
"Night, Livvy," he replied and went downstairs as Olivia walked in to the master bedroom and closed the door behind her.

Annalise walked out of her bedroom sometime later to see her dad walk back up the stairs.
"Dad, where's mom?'
"In bed, honey. Why? What's up?"
Anna gulped and looked away, trying to avoid eye contact.
"What, Annalise?"
"I...I told mom I want to meet my biological father."
Elliot was shocked. "Ok...Am I not good enough? Have I disappointed you as a father?"
"Dad..."
"I have to go send your brother to bed and check on your mom," he said and went in to the study, where Ayden was using the computer.
"Dad..." She tried again but he kept walking.
