A/N- this is the second chapter! Mostly thoughts from inside Olivia's head, but still kewl. I wasn't going to make this into a story originally, it was only supposed to be one shot, but thanks to your reviews I decided to turn it into a story! Sorry if it's a little unstructured, but I'm I making it up as I go!

Disclaimer- I don't own Law and Order SVU, Dick Wolf does, and unless he miraculously decides to give the show and characters to me…. they still belong to him…. (Sigh)….

Olivia Benson woke up the next morning feeling very queasy. She probably had a hangover. She wobbled out of bed and started to walk toward her bathroom, clutching her stomach. She came to a dead halt as her stomach gave a loud grumble, and she sprinted into the bathroom, dumping the contents of last nights dinner into the toilet. Yes, she definitely had a hangover.

She lifted her head up from the now disgusting toilet and started to wobble out of the bathroom into her room, still feeling uncomfortably nauseous. How the hell did she get this drunk? She leaned against her dresser and started to contemplate the events of last night. First, she arrived at the ball in the most beautiful dress imaginable, and totally blew Elliot out of the water. Second, she danced with some overly arrogant, mindlessly, macho cops. And third, Elliot confessed his love to her in the loveliest way possible. …Well, that must have been a pretty boring night, she thought as she walked toward the bathroom to find some aspirin.

She was about halfway to the bathroom when it finally hit her, "What?" she said out loud, coming to a dead stop. Elliot had done what again, confessed his love? Either she had just dreamed that happening from a really bad hangover, or Elliot really did love her. She was hopping for the second conclusion she had made. Of course it surprised her, but she would have accepted his emotions fully because for a while now she had loved him too, and would give anything for him to feel the same way. But he had had a wife for twenty years and she had to respect that, but now that she was gone… what was stopping her? Nothing! And if what she thought really happened, then I guess her dreams were finally coming true!

She began to think about taking an aspirin but then waved the idea off quickly. Cause that would only make her tired at work, and if the whole precinct saw her and Elliot's little scene last night… well we all know the conclusion they'd make, and that didn't happen. At least she thought. This was not good, she had to get to work and find out what happened last night from Elliot, or there might be some serious consequences.

Olivia stumbled out of the bathroom and changed into some respectable work cloths. By the time she was ready to leave she seemed almost perfectly awake and sober, although still nursing a mild hangover from last night. She briskly walked out of her room and into the kitchen, grabbing a power bar for breakfast and slipping her cell phone into her coat pocket. She might have had a bad hangover and a headache, but she still had a job to do and she was still going to do that as normally as she could, no matter what was going on between her and Elliot.

As she was walking out of her apartment and into the junky third floor elevator, she had a bad feeling that something terrible was about to happen. She felt her stomach churn and her breath escape from her body. Either she was getting sensations about a terrible event in the future, or that was just the remains of her hangover acting up again. She went with the hangover theory, one cause it was about a hundred times more believable and two, cause she never was a person to believe in superstition. 'Never have and never will,' she thought as she walked out of the building and towards her car.

But as hard as she tried to shake the feeling it wouldn't go away. She sighed deeply as she turned her keys and plopped herself down into the driver's seat, all the time feeling that a terrible dark storm was approaching and she was going to be caught right in the middle of it, without an umbrella.

A/N- sorry that this is kinda a short and boring chapter, but I promise the next chapter is going to be WAY more exciting! There is so much more action on the way!

Like always please read and review!
