Chapter 8

Olivia hadn't seen Elliot in two days. Munch and Fin had successfully found who the next victim was. Her name was Marilyn Seymour. She had been the star witness at his hearing. The only problem was that by the time they had tracked her down; Mather had already gotten to her.

Elliot and the other detectives were working round the clock to find the victim before Mather killed her. Elliot had been staying over night in the crib while he was working on the case.

Olivia finally got the okay to go back to work. She planned on telling Elliot about the baby after the case was over. He wouldn't be stressed, and maybe wouldn't be so apt to snap at her.

"We got a sighting." Fin called from his desk. Anonymous caller says he saw Mather in central park with a woman. She was crying."

"Let's go" Elliot said, grabbing his coat. Olivia had already made up her mind that she would be going on this one. She wanted Mather back in jail, and quickly. Not only had he threatened her, but if he came after her again, her baby would be in danger.

Her and Elliot road to the park in silence,they were still mad at eachother.When they got there, they prepared for the worst.

The four sawMather on a bench holding tightly onto Marilyn. He spotted them, threw Marilyn across the walkway, and ran. The four detectives followed suit. Elliot went over to see how Marilyn was doing.

During the chase, Mather threw an ice cream cart in Olivia's direction. It hit her harder than she had anticipated, and she lost her balance, and was sent flying down a set of stairs that were behind her. Munch and Fin continued the chase.

Fin finally caught up to him, and was able to knock him to the ground. Munch cuffed him, and read him his rights. The case was over, and the NYPD has come out victorious once again.

Fin went to make sure Olivia was okay. He spotted her sitting at the bottom of the stairs not moving a muscle. When he walked down to her he discovered that she was crying.

"What's wrong Liv?" He asked, "You hurt?"

"Oh God." She finally managed to say. "Get Elliot."

As Fin ran to get him, Olivia sat, afraid to move. All she could think was that the fall had killed her baby. She knew that she shouldn't have gone back to work after she found out. She knew that she should have told Elliot sooner. She knew a lot of things, but that didn't really help her now. If her baby was dead, nothing she knew could save it.

"What's wrong Liv?" Elliot asked concerned as he ran down the stairs to her.

"Our baby." Was all she could manage to get out.

He knelt down next to her rigid form. "What baby?" He asked, extremly confused, as he put a hand on her shoulder.

"Elliot, I, I was going to tell you. But then, then, you got mad about Chris, and then, you, you were working on the case, I just had, no, no time. I'm so sorry. I should have stayed at my desk. I'm sorry, forgive me." She blurted out all at once. Elliot had never seen her like this, she was shaking uncontrollably, and crying at this point.

"Liv, what are you talking about?" He asked.

"El, I'm pregnant." She said, not able to look him in the face.

Elliot just stared at her, not sure if he had heard her right. "Ok, umm,Liv, we're gonna get you out of here, okay, and ah,checked out. You're not that far along, right?So there's a chance that the fall didn't hurt the baby." He said trying to comfort her, and sort everything he had just heard.
