Okay, ladies and gentlemen, this is the moment you've all been waiting for! Now, the question is: will Dean live or die? Will his father live or die? Will Elliot save Olivia just in time? And will they have their happily ever after? Keep in mind, there will be a huge fight with a shocking ending (someone who we think is dead is really alive)!

On a side: This could be a VERY long chapter!

'Signature' was good last night, but we got no EO moments. None at all! Elliot wasn't even there! But, why are we surprised; considering that we've been getting little to almost no EO moments this season! Dick Wolfe, WHAT THE FUCK?!

Enjoy and happy reading!

Lots of love, hugs and kisses from your resident writer and friend, Nina!

Abandoned apartment building

Bronx, New York

July 14, 2007

Come hell or high water, Elliot was gonna get Olivia back. No matter what it takes.

With his gun in his hands, he searched every room; every bathroom, every kitchen, every bedroom and every window to find her. He was inhaling smoke, but that's the least of his worries. Right now, for all he know, Dean could be torturing her and that's something he doesn't wanna even think about. He was getting angry and it showed because his face was turning red. He was running out of time.

"Help, please! Someone help me!" he heard Olivia screamed.

"Shut up, bitch! Nobody's gonna help you! Not even your precious Elliot won't help you!" Dean yelled.

His blue eyes turned to a dark turquoise color. It was like he was possessed by the devil. No one has ever seen Elliot Stabler this mad before. He looked like he was ready to kill. With new determination, he raised his foot up and started kicking down every door that came before him.

Meanwhile, Olivia was coughing and was doing everything she could to stay alive. She had to save her baby, because the smoke filled her now weak lungs. She was slipping into unconsciousness and it showed because she was now pale as a ghost. But, she was also trying to fight. She had to get out of here. She has a life to live with Elliot and their baby.

"Goodbye, Olivia Benson. I sincerely hope you rot in hell," Dean laughed sadistically; however he stopped laughing when Elliot burst through the door!

"OLIVIA!" the blue eyed detective screamed when he found her. She was tied up, gagged, battered and bruised on the bed. Even more, a huge fire formed around her.

"Oh, my God," he breathed as he put his gun back in his holster. He was about to go and try to free her when he was suddenly tackled down to the ground.

"Why do you always have to ruin things for me, man-whore?! Now, you can die right along with your bitch!!" Dean exclaimed before he raised his fist up in the air. Dean was about to hit him when someone came up behind him and pulled him away from Elliot.

"No, son, you're gonna die right along with them! You disgraced this family for the last time!!" Darren snapped as he kicked his son in his ribs several times. While they were fighting yet again, Elliot managed to get up from the floor and grab a blanket from a nearby table. He went over and tried to put the fire out with the fabric; hoping he can get to Olivia before she passed out completely.

"Just hang on, baby. I'm coming," he breathed as he kept trying to put out the fire. Dean stopped beating the crap out of his father again long enough to see Elliot trying to save Olivia. His anger got the best of him.

"I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU, BITCH!" he roared as he went to lunge at the blue eyed hunk. He never got the chance because Bobby and Mike barged in a moment later and managed to tackle him down on the ground. Fin, Munch and Lake came right behind them to apprehend Darren while Alex and Carolyn came with fire extinguishers in their hands.

"Elliot! We got it!" Alex screamed as she and Carolyn made their way over to his side. Within minutes, the fire was out. Elliot frantically went over to Olivia's side and noticed that she was handcuffed.

"Anyone got keys?!" he exclaimed. Carolyn reached inside her pocket and pulled a set out, then she threw it at him. After several minutes of trying to free her, he finally did and scooped her up in his arms.

"I'm here, baby. I'm here," he whispered to her. She looked at him faintly and gave him a weak smile.

"El? I knew you were coming," she said hoarsely.

He kissed her forehead gently. "I wasn't about to give you up. I wasn't about to give our baby up, either. I love you."

"And I love you," she said weakly.

Dean lost it as he watched the lovebirds being all cozy with each other again. He couldn't believe Elliot ruined his plans once again. His anger and frustration got the best of him, so he kicked Bobby and Mike in their shins and grabbed his gun. Munch, Fin and Lake knocked Darren down on the ground and pulled out their guns. Bobby and Mike stood right in front of Elliot and Olivia to protect them. They even stood right in front of him so he couldn't get a shot at them.

"Drop your weapon, Porter!" Munch exclaimed.

"I don't think so! I said Olivia was gonna die and that's gonna happen! I won't go down without a fight! Time for the bitch to go!" Dean fired back.

"We won't go down, either! You're gonna spend the rest of your life behind bars, Dean. I won't be surprised if you get the needle in your arm! You killed two innocent people!" Lake snapped.

"I'm not gonna die! Why? 'Cause I'm gonna make sure Olivia don't testify against me! She has too much too lose. Besides, I can always expose her dirty little secret! Everyone's gonna hate her when I get done with her!" Dean laughed sadistically.

"Everyone already knows," Olivia said weakly.

"No they don't, bitch! You couldn't possibly tell the whole world if you tried!" he challenged.

"Nobody holds my past against me, Dean. I'm still the same Olivia they know and love. And you thought that Elliot was gonna leave me? I don't think so. He loves me for who I am. You don't love me. You never loved me. You never even loved Jason," she said softly, choking back on her tears.

"None of this would be happening if you would've just gave me what I wanted! I never wanted him in the first place!" Dean snapped at her.

"And, I told you before, I never gave you anything. You took it all away from me. You took my son, you took my pride, you took my self-respect and, for a while, you took my reason for living. Elliot restored it all back for me. Now, I'm forever gonna be traumatized about losing my beautiful son; but, he's looking down at me right now, smiling and knowing that I love him. He's proud to see his mommy surviving and he's gonna make sure I'm gonna be all right," she said with a little bit of dignity in her left.

"YOU FUCKING BITCH! YOU RUINED MY LIFE!" he roared as he moved to pull the trigger. However, he never had the chance to shoot her because shots rang out all over the apartment complex. Everyone ducked to make sure nobody got hurt. When they finally got up, they were shocked to see Dean still standing. But, it wasn't by choice.

Dean was bleeding. Really bleeding. His mouth was gushed with crimson and there were blood stains on his shirt. He dropped down on his knees, not saying a word. He looked dazed, but his eyes were wide open.

"Olivia," he breathed before he dropped down on the floor. He was still breathing, but barely.

"W-who shot him?" Olivia asked softly. Elliot was still holding her in his arms.

"I did," a female voice replied, her voice cracking.

Everyone looked up and were shocked to see...Renee!

"What are you doing here?! You're dead!" Elliot exclaimed.

"I have a lot of explaining to do," she simply said.

They knew she was right. By the end of the day, hopefully, a lot of questions will finally be answered.

Mercy General Hospital

Manhattan, New York

July 14, 2007

When Olivia woke up, she looked over her shoulder and smiled when she saw Elliot sleeping on the chair. Even though she's in a lot of pain, she reached over and grabbed his hand. Another smile crept up on her face when he squeezed her hand lightly.

She never thought she'd ever seen him again. But, she knew he didn't let her down. He was gonna find her even if it killed him and he did. She loved him so much that she couldn't go another day without him. Now, she's not planning on ever letting him go.

"Hey, baby," he murmured as he woke up.

"Hey, El. You sleep okay?" she asked softly.

"I did. I can sleep better now that you're here with me again," he replied, smiling brightly.

"We're gonna be okay. You, me and our baby," she whispered.

"I know," he said before he leaned over and kissed her softly. He pulled back and looked deeply in her eyes. He could get lost in them forever if he wanted to.

"I love you, Olivia," he whispered against her cheek. He placed his hand on her still flat belly and rubbed it gently.

"I love you, too, Elliot," she replied, smiling brightly.

At this point, she knew she was gonna be all right. She was alive, she had the love of her life and she had her baby. She could breathe easily now and she couldn't be more happier now.

Special Victims Unit

Interrogation room

16th precinct

Manhattan, New York

July 14, 2007

"How long she's been sitting there?" Alex asked as she peered through the two-way mirror.

Casey sighed deeply. "Not too long. She looks agitated, though."

"You would be, too, if you're charged with trying to kill your own brother. Thank God I'm an only child," Alex breathed.

"So, what are we gonna do?" Casey asked as she ran her fingers through her long red hair.

"We'll have the guys go easy on her. We can't attack her because she's a victim. Furthermore, Dean did try to kill her," Alex replied just as Fin and Lake appeared.

"Where's Munch?" Alex asked about her husband.

"Cap got him pullin' up DD5's, so it looks like we're gonna talk to Renee," Fin announced.

"We just got a call from the hospital. Looks like you two are gonna try Dean after all," Chester said, looking pissed.

Casey went over and wrapped her arms around him. "You wanted him dead, did you?"

He laid his forehead against hers. "I want him to pay for what he did to Olivia, Renee and the others."

"And, we will. He's gonna get a needle in his arm, I'm sure of it," Alex said, giving him a reassuring smile.

"I'm worried about Renee, though. I understand why she shot her brother, but I can't condone her behavior," Fin said, shaking his head.

"Just go easy on her. She's been through enough," Casey said as she leaned over and pecked Chester's lips softly. He nodded his head before he broke away from her embrace. He and Fin then went inside, only to find Renee shaking in her seat.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, Renee. We have some loose ends to tie up concerning you," Lake said as he took a seat across from her.

"How's Dean?" she asked, not really wanting to know, but she just had to ask.

"He made it out of surgery," Chester said, glancing at her.

"Oh. What do you wanna know?" she asked softly, looking disappointed because she didn't kill him.

"Well, for starters, why did you risk your life to find him?" Fin asked as he took his place behind her, folding his arms over his chest.

"He took a part of me away. He made me suffer. He hurt me so bad. I mean, sure, we never got along, but I never thought he would do this to me. I wanted to make him suffer. I wanted him to see what it's like to be violated," she said bitterly.

"Renee, that doesn't mean you had to shoot him. We had him right where we wanted him. You were supposed to stay in hiding. That's why you were put in WPP, so you can be safe," Lake said, looking at her intently.

She lowered her head in sorrow. "He found out."

"Found out what?" Fin asked, looking confused.

"He found out that I was alive and well. It wasn't like I wasn't careful, because I was. I was discreet; but he found me. He hired a private investigator and found me," she started sobbing.

"What happened?" Lake asked softly.

"He put a hit out on me as well. I ran away, so he couldn't get me. But, because I'm so famous, it didn't take his hit man long to find me," she replied, her voice cracking.

"Did you tell the other agents what happened?" Lake whispered.

"They were dead by the time I got there. Dean's hit man killed them. He found out where I lived. I ran away. I didn't wanna die. I know I'm going to jail for what I did, but I had to protect myself. My own brother raped me and he tried to kill me. Please, don't let me suffer any longer," Renee pleaded, tears falling from her eyes.

Chester leaned back against the chair. He didn't say a word. He looked at Fin, who also didn't say a word. They both stood and sat in stunned silence. They couldn't believe Dean would be so cold to try and murder his sister.

"There's something else," Renee said, breaking the silence.

"What is it?" Chester asked softly.

She cleared her throat and looked at them slowly. "My older brothers weren't killed by the police. Dean killed them. He lied."

"Why did he lie to the police?" Fin asked, letting out a frustrated sigh.

"My brothers weren't involved with organized crime. They were in the restaurant business. They were on the verge of taking over the family business when Dean killed them. Dean always hated them. He hated the whole family, except Mom. He lived for her. He loved her. But, my father; it was a love/hate relationship with them. Speaking of my father, what's gonna happen to my father?" Renee asked, looking frantic.

Fin sighed deeply. "I'm sorry, Renee, but he was involved. We're gonna have to charge him with criminal facilitation and conspiracy to commit murder. He said he was gonna kill Olivia and he tell Dean to kill his son."

"There's nothing I can say to change your mind, huh?" she sulked, shaking her head.

"I'm sorry. But, the DA's willing to offer you a deal," Fin said as he came behind her and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"What do I have to do?" she asked, tears forming in her eyes.

"Why don't Casey and Alex tell you about what they're willing to offer?" Chester said just as Casey and Alex walked inside.

As they talked to her, Casey, Alex, Fin and Chester could now breathed a sigh of relief. Olivia was finally gonna get some peace in her life. And, with Elliot by her side, she can now breathe a sigh of relief. She was alive, she was healthy and she was gratful.

They knew it. The drama, the tragedy and the heartache was finally over.

I was gonna do a trial chapter next, but I'm not about to go through that this time. I know you're gonna be upset that Dean came out alive, but we've heard the last of him and his family. I won't be writing about him anymore.

The remaining chapters will be all fluff and smut. I think it's time Olivia have some real happiness in her life, don't you think? Oh, yeah, I will do a wedding chapter. That will be at the end. I have about four chapters left to do. Stay tuned!

Please review!
