*three days later*

Olivia slowly opened her eyes and stared at the white ceiling. Machines beeped around her. Her head throbbed and her chest felt tight. Slowly moving her head to look around, she groaned as pain shot throughout her body.

"Hey, Liv, try not to move so much," Nick appeared next to her and pat her hand. She nodded slowly and looked at him.

"What…happened.." she murmured.

"You tried bullshitting me by telling me you were okay," her partner smiled and shook his head, "You are probably the most stubborn person I know."

"How long have I been in here?"

"Three days," he paused for a moment, "You were in a medically induced coma."

"Oh," she frowned then looked back at her partner, "Shouldn't you be at work?"

"Liv. No one is at work right now. The whole squad is in the waiting room."

Olivia became quiet and stared at her hands. Nick looked at her concerned.

"Liv, what's wrong?"

"Nothing," she lied. When he frowned at her she sighed, "I just… Are we doing good? I mean… are we actually helping people? We spend most of our time going after sickos and pervs but is it actually doing good or is this all for nothing?"

"Olivia," Nick frowned and shook his head, "You can't say this is all for nothing. Do you know how many rapists you've put behind bars? You've given so many victims closure because they were able to see their attacker put in jail."

"Obviously, I don't know how to handle rapists or Asher and William wouldn't have happened.." Olivia murmured and looked down. She didn't want to see his pity.

"Olivia fucking Benson," Nick frowned and knelt down next to the bed, "You can't be serious. You remember what you told me a few months ago? We win some battles and others we don't win right away but we sure fight like hell. Lewis and Asher were battles that you fought your damnest to beat and in the end, who is the one who gets to go back to her life? You. You've saved hundreds of girls and victims from those two sick bastards. You're stronger than what you think."

"If I was this great detective that you put me out to be, Nick, then why did I fall for both Lewis and Asher?" she challenged, finally meeting his gaze.

Before he could answer, he looked towards the door. Seconds later, it opened and Bailey, Charlie, Charlotte, and Tiffany walked in. Olivia looked at Nick confused and he smiled.

"Olivia?" Charlie was the first to speak. Olivia looked at her and nodded.

"I heard what that asshole did," Charlie shook her head, "The girls and I decided to get together and tell you thank you. For everything. Especially for risking your life for us so our attacker will be put away."

"I know that we never met before," Charlotte spoke, "But Detective Fin and Nick came to me and told me you were in the hospital and the guy who….raped me was arrested. I had to come see for myself the lady who saved my sanity."

"You risked everything just so the guy who attacked us will be put away," Bailey spoke up, "You're our hero. I couldn't thank you enough. Because of you this guy will be going to jail for a long time. That's the greatest thing anyone could give me."

"Thanks, girls," Olivia smiled sadly, "I want you all to know that if you ever need someone to listen to you or need someone to talk to, you all have my number. Give me a call anytime."

"Livva," Tiffany came forward and wrapped her little arms around Olivia softly, "You're my idol. I want to be like you when I grow up."

Olivia hugged back softly and tears formed in her eyes. Nick looked at her and smiled, "See all the good you've done?"

Tiffany pulled away and Olivia looked around confused, "Where is Scarlet?"

Bailey, Charlotte, and Charlie grew quiet and looked down. Charlotte was the first to speak.

"Scarlet wants to put the past behind her. She said by coming here it will just bring back the memories and she couldn't live through that a second time. No offense."

"No," Olivia shook her head and took the girl's hand, "It's fine. I completely understand. Can you make sure she has my number, though? In case she needs someone to talk to."

Charlotte nodded and Olivia smiled. The door opened and Amanda walked in. Tiffany ran to her and hugged her leg. "MANDA! LOOK! LIVVA IS AWAKE!"

"Yes, I see that," Amanda smiled and walked over to the bed, "How are you feeling, Liv?"

"Besides my bruises?" Olivia looked at the girls then back at Amanda, "I feel fine now. Thank you, Amanda. For everything."

"I was just doing my job, Liv," the blonde smiled and looked at Nick, "Besides, it was all of us. And the PPD."

Olivia looked between Amanda and Nick and frowned, "I've been meaning to ask you guys….is there something going on between you two?"

"Wait, what?" Nick looked at Olivia and laughed hard, "Me and Amanda? What? No! We are like brother and sister. Oh god. Nothing sexual is going between me and Amanda."

Amanda laughed hard and shook her head, "Trust me, Liv. I would never."

"Just curious," Olivia smiled and shook her head.

Suddenly, the door opened and Brian walked in holding a bouquet of roses. He stopped and looked at everyone, his eyes finally resting on Olivia. He smiled softly and held the roses out to her.

"Alright, I think that's our cue to leave," Nick bent down and hugged Olivia lightly and looked over at Amanda.

"Maybe Nick will take you girls to Starbucks," Amanda teased, making Nick shake his head.

"Manda, what's a Starbuck?" Tiffany questioned as the group walked out of the door. Brian and Olivia were left alone.

"I'm glad you're awake, Liv," Brian smiled and walked over to her, setting the roses down on the table next to her, "How are you feeling?"

"Better than I probably look," Olivia shook her head and smiled sadly. Brian softly traced his thumb down the side of her face over her bruise. He frowned.

"That bastard needs to get the needle for what he did to you."

"As much as I would love to see that," Olivia sat up slowly, her ribs throbbing, "I don't want to sink to the same level he's on. I just want to get the trial done with and move on with my life."

"Can I get you anything, love?" Brian frowned as he noticed her discomfort. She shook her head as the door opened.

"Damn, she can only see so many people in one day. Wh-" Brian stopped as he realized it was the doctor. The doctor looked at Brian then smiled at Olivia.

"I'm glad to see you're awake, Ms. Benson. How are you feeling?"

"Better than I look," Olivia repeated and Brian gave her hand a reassuring squeeze, "When can I go home?"

"Well," the doctor looked at her chart, "You came in here with a concussion, a dislocated shoulder, bruising on your ribs and your face. The bruising is on its way to healing but your dislocated shoulder will need some therapy to heal. You can probably be released in a day or so. Let's make sure your vitals are okay first."

"Thanks, doctor," Olivia nodded.

The doctor turned to leave then stopped. He turned back to Olivia and looked up from her chart, "Uh, I'm sorry Ms. Benson. I forgot. The results from your rape kit have come back…" the doctor looked at Brian unsure.

"He's fine. He's my boyfriend," Olivia squeezed his hand, "I want him to be here. You can….you can continue."

"Well," the doctor looked back at the chart puzzled, "When we examine rape victims we usually look for forcible trauma. During your exam, the nurse was not able to find any trauma besides the bruises and dislocated shoulder."

"W-what?" Olivia looked at the doctor surprised, "That's not possible." Brian squeezed her hand gently.

"Do you…remember…him raping you?" The doctor frowned.

"N…no. Anytime he said he did was after I woke up from being knocked out," Olivia stared at the wall, images racing through her mind, "He talked so much like he….actually did. M-my clothes were ripped…."

"Ms. Benson, we made sure to check for rape trauma," the doctor shook his head, "We checked three times. The nurses performing the rape kit are experienced. They would recognize a rape even with the smallest amount of trauma. There was no damage done to you sexually. The only things you had were the bruises and dislocated shoulder."

"Oh thank god," Brian looked down at Olivia and smiled. Tears formed in her eyes and she nodded. The doctor smiled.

"You were lucky, Ms. Benson," the doctor left. Brian smiled and hugged Olivia gently.

"It's over, Liv," Brian whispered and kissed her head, "I promise I will NEVER let you get hurt ever again. Over my dead body."

"It's over…" Olivia whispered, holding onto Brian. A tear fell down her cheek and Brian pulled away. Softly, he wiped the tear off of her cheek and smiled softly at her. He leaned in and kissed her gently.

"I love you, Olivia. With all of my being I love you."

"I love you too, Brian."
