I own no one but my own people
"Where are you going?"
Serena turned around and saw Fin come out of the room, closing the door softly behind him.
"Where are you?" she spat, narrowing her eyes at him.
"What, are you drunk again already?"
"Why do you delight in insulting me?"
"Because you beat the ever loving piss out of the love of my life for nearly eighteen years, and have ignored her for the past five."
Serena shook her head and turned around once more, and Fin caught up to her easily.
"Just leave me alone," she grumbled, stepping up her pace some what.
"Tell me where you're going and I will," he said smoothly, easily catching up to her.
She groaned and whipped around to face him, her eyes narrowed in annoyance. "The bar across the street, alright!"
Fin shook his head in disbelief, shock radiating off his face. "I don't believe it. You know I have to admit, you had me fooled, Serena. I thought for once in your life, you might have actually cared about Olivia."
"I do care for her!" she cried, "but I can't deal with her choosing that monster over me! She would rather spend time with my rapists son then me!"
Serena took several deep breaths, and began muttering to herself in Russian, trying to calm her shattered nerves.
"Simon never tried to beat her and they love each other, so I can't really say I blame her."
Serenas eyes widened in shock. She had expected Fin to be shocked to learn Olivia's father had a son, storm in the room where that monster would surly be doing something unmoral to her, take that disgusting thing by his scruffy little collar and throw him out of the room at the very least.
But when the realization dawned on her that he already knew that he had bourne other children, much less allowed Olivia to be alone with it, she became angered her beyond reason. "So you knew?" she asked, her eyes flashing with malice. "You knew she had a brother and you never bothered to tell me."
Fin let out a cruel laugh. "Oh please! How many secrets did you keep from her?"
"I never kept secrets from my daughter," she cried, "and I surly never would have kept something like this away from her!"
He crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes at her. "Oh really? You told me about her grandfather, didn't you? Now does Olivia know this piece of information or not?"
"Please," Serena scoffed. "Do not threaten me with that, Odafin. You and I both know you would never tell her, that it would hurt her way to much if she knew about what that monster did. And there is a huge difference between that secret and what she kept from me."
"No, it's not. If it wasn't for the fact you were drunk, you never would have told me in the first place. Plus, I'd say your secret is a thousand times worse then what Olivia's is. So her father had a son. That's no need to go storming away from her when she needs support more then anything."
"In case you weren't there," she spat, "she kicked me out of her room. She would rather be with that... that spawn of satin then with her own mother."
"How many times did you call Olivia that exact phrase," asked Fin, venom in his voice. When she didn't answer, he nodded. "I thought so. But you wonder why. You've gotten help before, and you've always started drinking again. Can you honestly blame Olivia for not wanting to deal with that now?"
"I've never gone two months, though. Usually it only lasted a week at most. I came here to make it right, and the fact that she picked him over me just sickens me."
Tears filled her eyes, and Fin sighed in both annoyance and defeat.
"You weren't talking to her, she wasn't talking to you, and the last memories she had was of you telling her over the phone after she finally got promoted to detective, that you didn't care, and she would probably lose her badge within a month. Then she found Simon, and for the first time in her life, she felt like she was part of a real family. And for the past three years, whenever they're together, she has been the happiest I've or anyone has ever seen her. Please," he pleaded, her dark brown eyes burring into hers. "Serena, if you truly love her, don't take something that makes her this happy away from her, even if you hate it."
Serena sighed and looked down the hall back towards her room.
"I suppose... I can't really object to something if it makes her that happy."
Fin nodded, and allowed himself half a smile before he turned back to the room.
"So why did you leave her side?" she asked, walking back to the room.
"Olivia wanted to talk to him alone, and I need to check on Tina. That's where I was going to go now."
Serena looked down at the floor and took a deep breath. "Would it be alright if I was to meet her?"
Fin opened his mouth to protest but closed it, unable to think of something to say.
After one long, almost painstaking minute for her, Fin nodded. "Let's go."
Serena looked up and her face lit up with a smile, and Fin once again had to turn away, unable to look at his favorite smile in the world on someone he nearly hated.
Munch slammed the taxi door shut, his body nearly shaking from anger, his view had a hazy red look to it.
Fin was his partner, his best friend. Both would easily take a bullet for the other one in a moments notice. Sure they were not as close as Elliot and Olivia were, but they still cared for one another. They had a trust like the best of partners, and would do anything for one another.
"And I sure as hell would never let him be kidnaped for an empty threat!" he mumbled, his fists clenching so hard he drew blood.
Munch stormed in the hospital and looked around the waiting room, and he had to remind himself to breathe as he laid his eyes on him.
Elliot sat one of the waiting room chairs, his outfit still covered in her blood, not wanting to leave the hospital to go get changed.
He stormed over to him, and Elliot saw him and stood up, relief etched in his face.
"Munch, thank god. Fin was looking for-"
But what Fin was looking for, Munch didn't find out. He walked over and hit him as hard as he could in the face.
Elliot stumbled and regained his footing.
"What the hell!" he shouted, narrowing his eyes at Munch.
"Shut up!" he screamed, storming up to him once more. "Just shut up, you miserable bastard!"
Munch threw another punch, but Eliot blocked it and threw his left hook, landing it square in Munch's jaw.
Munch spat out blood, and growled, before taking a running leap at him, and they both fell to the ground, hitting and kicking one another for all they were worth.
Munch landed on top of Elliot, but before Elliot could escape him, Munch began hitting him as hard as he could, over and over in the face.
Elliot grabbed his fist, and twisted his arm, flipping him over, and placing his fore arm against his throat, holding it there tightly.
Elliot growled at him and pressed tighter as Munch struggled to get out of the choke hold, but to no avail.
Elliot felt someone wrap his arms around him and yank him off of Munch, and as he struggled against the man who held him, he also saw Munch being pulled up from the floor, and despite his air loss, he was still fighting to get to him.
"What the hell is going on?" the voice asked him, and Elliot wrenched around and found Fin holding him, his eyes wide, Serena stood several feet away, in shock.
"He attacked me!" Elliot shouted, pointing towards Munch.
"And you deserve it, you little bastard!" Munch yelled, still trying to get out of the security guards hold.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"You let Olivia and Fin get kidnaped to save your own ass!"
There was a low mutter in the hospital room, and Elliot's face fell.
Fin turned him around, confusion in his face. "Elliot, what is he talking about?"
Munch yanked himself out of the hold the guard held on him. "Adam and Joseph called him and told him not to help them, not to warn them of what they were going to do, and he listened to them!"
Fin took several steps away from him. "It's not true. Elliot, tell me it's not true?" he yelled, slightly frantic
Elliot swallowed his tears. "They said they were going to hurt Kathy if I helped," he whispered.
Fin shook his head, tears filling his eyes.
"She thought of you." His voice was shaking, "She was probably in the most pain in her life, and she thought of you. She named our son!" he shouted, the tears falling forward, "after you, and it's because of you that we were there in the first place!"
"I didn't rape Olivia!" Elliot yelled, his own tears falling now "I didn't torture her, I didn't kill your son, Fin!"
"You could have stopped them! You could have told us! But instead you choose to just let it go! We could have protected Kathy, and you know it!"
"She's my wife! I couldn't take the chance! I'm sure you wouldn't risk Olivia if me and Kathy were in danger!"
"Olivia would happily give her life for you and Kathy in a heart beat and not think twice about it! She was willing to let a little girl die for you, she was willing to get half undressed in front of two murderers for you!" Fin screamed, shoving Elliot away from him.
"Odafin, calm down," Serena pleaded, coming up to the two of them, looking at Elliot with nothing but hate. "Olivia doesn't need-"
"Don't you dare try to tell me what she needs and doesn't need!" Fin snapped, not taking his eyes off of Elliot, "you never gave it to her when she was little, and you don't plan on giving it to her now."
Serena said nothing, and instead just continued to glare at Elliot.
Elliot took a shaky breath. "I need to talk to Olivia."
"You step one foot near her, and I will kill you," Fin told him, with complete and sincere honesty.
"I need to talk to her!" he pleaded. "I need her to understand-"
"What?" Fin snapped, "that her partner and best friend would rather her get raped, tortured, and have her son murdered then have his wife be put up in the station house for a while were she would be safe?"
"Please!" Elliot pleaded, frantic now. "Let me just sit down and talk to her!"
"You're not going anywhere!" Munch growled, storming up behind him and twisting his arms behind him, and quickly cuffing him.
"What the hell are you doing?" Elliot yelled.
"Elliot Stabler," Munch said coldly, beginning to lead him out of the hospital. "You are under arrest for being an accomplice for rape in the first degree, murder in the first degree, and three counts of kidnaping. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against-"
"Munch, you can't be serious!" Elliot interrupted, fighting against him, but also knowing he deserved every thing they were throwing at him.
Munch threw him down in one of the chairs and got a mere three inches from his face. "Olivia was raped, Fin could have died, their son was murdered. Their daughter, your god child, could have died! Do you understand that?" Munch yelled, tears streaming down his face.
"I know!" Elliot shouted, letting out a sob. "Just let me talk to her, please!"
Munch glared at him before he turned to Fin, whose eyes were narrowed in hatred at him.
"I'm going to tell Olivia everything what you did, make sure she even wants to even talk to you at all. Then you can go in and try to talk to her. And by the way, start looking for a new partner, because there is no way in hell that I'm letting her be put in danger for someone who wouldn't do the same for her," he spat at him before storming off down the hall, Serena following.
Munch glared down at him, before he took the seat beside him, crossing his arms tightly, not looking at him.
"Do you mind taking off the handcuffs?" Elliot mumbled softly. Munch ignored him, and Elliot sighed before he leaned back against the chair, closing his eyes in defeat.
"So did they get the guy?" Simon asked softly, sitting in the chair that Fin had previously sat in.
Olivia nodded, "yeah, both of them."
Simon nodded and looked down, a deep blush appearing in his cheeks. "So is there any chance that you could be.. you know?"
Olivia shook her head tears appearing in her eyes. "No. I was pregnant before it happened."
"You're pregnant?" Simon asked, a smile appearing on his face, "well that's good then! How far along?"
"I said I was pregnant, Simon, not that I am right now. They killed my baby. Then because of what they did, they had to preform a hysterectomy."
"Oh god, Liv, I'm sorry," he said as tears began to fill his light green eyes.
Olivia couldn't speak anymore, as she was sure the next words out of her mouth would be a sob, or telling him to get out, and she didn't want him to leave.
"How's Tina?" he asked cautiously.
"Good," Olivia choked out, and before she knew it, she let out a sob.
Simon at once got off the chair and leaned as close as he could near her bedside, holding her hand. "Olivia, I promise everything will be okay," he told her, desperate for her to believe him.
"No it won't," she said, letting out another sob. "I was raped and my son was killed, Simon! I don't have the strength to deal with this."
"Yes you do. Olivia, I promise you that you do. You are one of the strongest woman I have ever met. You'll get through this, I promise."
"What if I don't?" she whispered, wiping the tears away, wincing as they leaked through her bandage.
"That's not an option for you. You're my sister, Olivia, I'm not going to let you give up."
Simon made a move to hug her, but thought better of it, seeing the heavily bandaged ribs.
There was a soft knock on the door, and Fin opened it.
"Do you mind if I talk to her for a second?" he asked quietly.
Simon nodded and went to stood up, looking down at Olivia. "I'll be back. I promise."
He smiled at her, and Olivia managed a weak grin. He bent down and kissed the top of her head before he left the room, gently shutting the door behind him.
"What's wrong?" asked Olivia as Fin drew nearer, clear evidence of his tears. "Is something wrong with Tina?"
"No, no. Tina's fine," he said, sitting down in the chair beside her. "I need to tell you something though."
"What? Fin, please you're scaring me," she said, her voice breaking again.
He swallowed hard and took her hand in his. "It's about Elliot."
"Elliot's here?" she asked, trying to sit up, but the pain in her chest made it too unbearable. "Where is he?"
Fin sighed and hung his head, hating him more then anything right now. "He's in the waiting room. I wanted to tell you something before you talk to him though."
"What?" she asked, fear in her eyes. "Is he hurt? Is it one of the kids?"
Fin lifted his head, looking her straight in the eyes. "You really care for him don't you?"
"He's my best friend, Fin, you know that."
"Would you die for him?"
"In a heart beat. Fin, tell me what is going on!"
"Do you think he would die for you?"
Olivia nodded, looking directly into his eyes. "I know he would. Fin, please tell me what's wrong."
He sighed, and shook his head, tears filling his eyes, but he forced himself not to shed them ."Nothing, Olivia. Nothing at all."
He smiled sadly at her, and moved her hair out of her face. "I'll go get him now, okay? You can talk to him."
Olivia nodded, her eyes still narrowed in confusion. "Okay."
Fin got up from the chair and left the room, going back to the waiting room, where Elliot still sat, drying desperately to work out what he was going to say to her.
He walked over to them, and they both looked up.
"I didn't tell her anything," he whispered softly. "If you want to that's your choice, but I'm not gonna say a word, and neither is Munch."
Elliot managed a smile and stood up, stumbling a bit.
"Thank you, Fin."
"I didn't do it for you," he snapped, "I did it for her!"
Fin twisted him around and unlocked the handcuffs, throwing them back to a shocked Munch. "She wants to talk to you," he said, narrowing his eyes at him.
The two men looked at one another for a moment before Elliot walked off towards her room, hating himself more then he ever thought he could.
Munch walked up to Fin, who was looking after Elliot. "Why?" Munch asked, also staring after him.
Fin stood silent for a moment. "Because if you truly love someone, then you don't take away something that makes them happy, even if you hate it."
Without another word, he left the waiting room and headed off towards Tina's room.
Maybe it's just the EO in me, but I couldn't have Olivia hate him. Elliot will not get off scott free though, I assure you. But on that note, I got a whole new lOvE play list on my I-Pod, and my favorite EO scenes on my hard drive with hopefully many more to come. So lets go, EO shippers!!! They'd give each other a kidney for Christ sakes!!! This is our year!!! Okay, just wanted to get that off my chest. Now you can go review.
