CHAPTER 12

"John! Fin!" Don called to them as they walked up to them. "Any word?"

"Elliot? You shouldn't be here? Are you ok?" John asked.

"I need to see her, is she allowed visitors?" Elliot asked ignoring John.

"Yeah, But El…" John looked down. How could he tell his friend about the condition she was in.

"It's ok John, I just need to see her"

He nodded. "Room 323, down the hall and take a left."

Elliot sprinted down the hall.

He walked into the room. He was over come by his emotions. Instant tears swelled his eyes. He walked up to her and picked up her hand and kissed it.

"I'm hear Liv, I'm right here. You have to wake up, you have to. I need to see those chocolate brown eyes of yours, please Liv, Please…"

He broke down, uncontrollable sobbing.

Don was standing at the doorway. He just stood there and watched.

Elliot's sobs brought tears to the old man's eyes.

"I told you I would always come back to you, now you gotta come to me liv. Please I can't live without you. You're my soul mate. You're my everything." he continued to cry.

Soul mate? Did Elliot just call Olivia his soul mate? No. I must have heard wrong. The Capt thought. He walked back down the hallway. Seeing Elliot like that, seeing Olivia like that…he needed some air.

"Hey John, can I talk to you for a minute?" Don asked him

"Yeah sure, anything, what do you need?"

"Elliot, and Olivia…is there anything…between them that I should know about…you know on a personal level."

"Hells if I know. I've been trying to pry it out of him for years. He's not talking."

"Really. Hmmm." And he dropped the subject.

If they were more then partners John would know. All of a sudden I felt really bad. It hit me. Olivia and Elliot were in love with each other. Hell, I saw it everyday; and because of there job they couldn't be together.

He never respected them more, but also felt horrible for them. Being in love with someone but not able to act on it. And now this…if she dies and they never got tell each other…

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

She felt something, like a spark inside her stomach. She had to wake up. She had to. She felt Elliot's presence. He was there, she could feel it. It took everything she had to try and open her eyes. It was blurry, but she saw that face, the face she loved, the face of her soul mate.

"Ellll." She said barely audible.

"Liv! Liv! YOU'RE AWAKE! Oh my God, Liv. You scared me." He was over come by emotions. "Don't ever leave me again"

She squeezed his hand.

"I'm going to get the doctor" Elliot kissed her hand and ran out of the room. "SHE'S AWAKE! SHE'S AWAKE!" This time when the tears fell they were out of happiness.

The doctor came in to examine her, "You'll have to wait outside" The doctor told him.

"No, no way. I'm never leaving her again." He said looking at Olivia.

"Sss, k…El…stay" Olivia managed to get out.

"Ok Detective Stabler you can stay"

EOEOEOEOOEOEOEOEOEOEOEOOE

When the Doctor was done, he asked if he could speak to Elliot outside.

"This is good news Detective. She really responded to you. To be honest, I don't think she would have came out of it, if she didn't hear your voice.

Elliot's eyes watered.

"You love her don't you?" The doctor asked.

"With all my heart." El replied not skipping a beat.

EOEOEOEOEOEOEOE

It had been a week since Olivia was found. Elliot did not leave Olivia for a second. He was deeply afraid to for two reasons. Number one, Rick was still out there, and she would never be safe until he was behind bars. Number two, he realized how fragile life is, and how quickly time can be taken from you. He wanted to spend ever passing second with her, for the rest of his life.

Olivia was making progress. When she came in she had serious internal bleeding, but the Doctors were able to stop it before it caused too much damage. The trauma to her head was what worried them the most. She was still loosing consciousness every now and again. They didn't know why. She was also getting sick, at first they thought it was from the internal bleeding but they ran dozens of test, each one coming to the conclusion that it was not caused by that.

She was in good spirits. With Elliot by her side she was able to fight, no amount of pain mattered, because Elliot was there.

Eoeoeoeoeoeoeo

The Cap walked over the Munch and Fin's desk. Munch just hung up the phone.

"Tell me some good news" Don demanded.

"Olivia's well enough to get transferred back to NY. Elliot said she was being Mercy Flighted this afternoon. They still don't know what is causing her to pass out though."

"Well maybe the Doctors here will be able to figure it out"

"That's what Elliot said"

"Call me as soon as the land" Don said heading back to his office.
