All the Pieces Fell into Place

Discalimer: Not mine

Sumary: See previous chapters.

A/N: I'm sorry to inform you taht this is the shortest chapter I have ever written. It basically ends the story, but there is an epilogue to follow. Thanks to all who reviewed, you guys are the best, a special thanks to those of you who normally don't leave reviews. I truly am touched taht you have chosen to revew for mine!

I'm considering writing another story, but it may not be out for a while, right now I have two jobs, and work to do over the summer for my AP classes. If I do write another story, there is a small chance it will be another following this story line (with Elliot and Olivia married and with Emma) Or I may write a whole new story. But that probably won't come until next month. I hope you have all enjoyed this trilogy so far!

Chapter 10

Elliot and Olivia sprinted to the boat house when they heard the gun shot. Olivia was stopped in her tracks when she saw the scene in the small shed.

On the floor lay her father, a bullet wound in his head, just like in Stanford's vision.. "Where's Emma?" She quickly demanded.

"Daddy, Mommy!" Came a small voice. Olivia looked towards it and found Emma sitting in Munch's protective arms.

She and Elliot rushed over to her, and Munch allowed them to take her. Elliot made sure that he shielded his daughter from the sight of the dead man in the corner. Olivia just hugged her, and silently cried. Emma did the same.

"Let's get her out of here." Cragen said. He had come in with Elliot and Olivia when he heard the gun go off.

Olivia carried her daughter outside.

"She didn't see anything." Munch said to Elliot, putting his hand on the man's shoulder. "Fin and I made sure of that."

"Thank you." Elliot said, not even trying to mask the tears that were coming from his eyes. He then walked outside, and quickly found Olivia and Emma in the back of an ambulance.

Emma was sitting on Olivia's lap as an EMT checked her out.

"Emma, sweetie, I known that this may be hard, but do you think that you could tell me what happened?" Cragen asked the young girl in a sweet, caring tone.

"Just don't let them stick me, uncle Don." She answered, eying the EMT suspiciously.

"Don't worry." The man in the ambulance noted. "It doesn't look like you're gonna need any shots."

Emma smiled widely, causing everyone else to follow suit.

"Well, uncle Don" Emma began. "I was playing at recess, and that man called, 'Emily, EmilyGillian Stabler, can I talk to you?' I didn't know him, so I didn't talk to him, cause I'm no appose to talk to strangers. I told him so, and then he said that he wasn't a stranger cause he was my grandpa. I thought that he wasn't my grandpa, but then he said that he new Mommy and Daddy. He said that Mommy's name was Olivia, and Daddy's name was Elliot, and that he was Mommy's Daddy. He said that he would stay on his side of the fence, and that I wasn't really going with a stranger. Then Mrs. Morgan called me, and then the man pulled my hood. It hurt a lot. He ran over to the car, and put me the from seat. I was scared, but I remembered what Daddy said to do if that happened. So, I bit his arm to try to make him stop driving. Then he hit me, and I fell asleep. When I woke up, we were in the little house. I tried to run away, but I was in the cuffs, on the wall. Mommy never lets meplay with her cuffs,but I didn't want to play anymore. Anyways, I ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that the man gave me. I didn't want to, but I was hungry. He said that I was pretty, and he was happy that he was my grandpa. Then I fell asleep. When I woke up, I had to go potty. He said that I could go. He took off the cuffs, and carried me outside. I yelled 'I want my Mommy and Daddy!" Like you told me to, Mommy. Then, he tied my mouth closed, and let me go into the little girls room. He closed the door, and waited outside for me to finish. Then he brought me back to the little house. Then uncle Munchy and Uncle Fin came in. They yelled at the man. Then Uncle Fin told me to close my eyes. Uncle Munch told me to cover my ears and sing the song he taught me. So I tried to sing 'It's the End of the World as We Know It.', it was hard cause of the thing in my mouth, but I did any ways. Then I heard a bang, and Uncle Munch picked me up. Then you and Daddy came in." She finally finished her story.

Cragen nodded when she finally finsihed, and wrote her story down on his small pad of paper. "You're a very brave kid, you know that Emma." Cragen said.

"I would have been nraver ifI had Mr. Snuffels." Emma answered, looking at her feet. "I missed him."

"Well, I think her missed you too." Cragen answered. He then pulled the stuffed pig from the pocket of his trenchcoat. He couldn't believe that he had made it fit.

Emma squealed with delight, and grabbed the animal from Cragen. She hugged it tight t oher. "Thank you Uncle Don!" She cooed. Cragen smiled when he saw howhappy the small gesture had madethe small girl.

Emma then turned her wide brown eyes to face her mother. "Mommy, will I get to go in the terrogation room, and talk like the suspects do?" She asked.

"No honey. Uncle Don already took your statement. Olivia answered, smoothing Emma's hair.

"Oh." Emma replied flatly. She had really wanted to give her statement in the interrogation room. Olivia and Elliot would never let her play in there when she visited the precinct.

"But, I think you're gonna get to ride in an ambulance!" Olivia offered. She hated seeing her daughter dissapointed.

Emma smiled at this, and jumped back into the ambulance.

The paramedics took Emma to the hospital, just to make sure she didn't have any head trauma. She was released the same day. Olivia and Elliot finally had their daughter back.

That night the two tucked her into bed together, and Olivia even sat in on the story. They gave her an extra kiss goodnight, and left the room reluctantly.

Huang had talked to Emma beofre she left the hospital, and concluded that she seemed surprisingly okay, considering what she had been through. He ruled that Olivia and Elliot seemed more tainted by the events of the passed few days.

Elliot and Olivia retreated down to the living room where they would watch some TV before going to bed. Olivia plopped herself down on Elliot's lap, and he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist to steady her.

"I can't believe that we made it through that." Elliot sighed. He hadn't realized how tired he was until that moment.

"I know." Olivia answered, resting herself againse Elliot's chest. Her head positioned unter his chin. "When I heard that shot, I though we were gonna loose her." She finished.

"But we didn't." Elliot countered, kissing Olivia's head lightly.

"I can't believe it's finally over." Olivia stated, deciding to change the subject away from anything tha tinvolved the thought of Emma dieing. "40 years I looked for him, and he's finally dead." Olivia said. She then straightened herself so that she was looking into Elliot's eyes, and continued, "El, I went into this career with the goal of finiding my father, and bringing him to justice."

"And do you think you've accompished that?" Elliot asked.

"The bastard got exactly what he deserved." Olivia said coldly. "Now he can rot in hell for all eternity." Olivia answered, as she cuddled back up to Elliot. He rubbed her back, and kissed her on the head once again. He unbderstood taht this gesture ment that she wasnted to end the conversation.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too." She answered. "Come on, let's get to bed." Olivia said, getting up off of Elliot's lap, and taking his hand to led him to bed. It had been a long day, and she was ready to just forget about it.

In bed Olivia lay in Elliot's arms. He was sleeping, but she couldn't seem to.Finally she realized why. Olivia had lost her faith a long time ago. She began getting it bac when she found Elliot's love, and then was blessed with Emma. Although she began to believe in "faith", she hadn't prayed since she was a little girl. To her "God" was as mythiscal as Santa Clause, or the Easter Bunny. That day she had finally broken down, and had dropped to her knees to beg whoever was up there to bring her daughterback to her safely. Someone had answrered her prayers that day. Olivia closed her eyes, and silently thanked whoever had saved her baby girl that day. She then was able to fall asleep.
