A/N: I'm sorry for not having this chapter up sooner, but I have been SO busy with school lately. Anyway, I have all the kids about three years younger than what they are now with Maureen, 17, Kathleen, 14, and Elizabeth and Dickie, 8. This will still be in the present year, though. :-)

The Accident

SVU Squad Room – Tuesday 8:30am – 3 ½ months

A month and half had almost gone by without anyone in the precinct knowing about Olivia's pregnancy, but as Elliot and Olivia were in the file room, they were discussing about whether to tell anyone.

"Do you think anyone has found out about us?" Elliot asked as they were rummaging through the files.

"I hope not," said Olivia, "At least not until I start showing which will be in another month and then Cap will have his suspicions."

"I think he's been suspecting that for a long time now, sweetheart," said Elliot, smiling. "But then we've been working well so far since, you know, that night."

"We really do," agreed Olivia. "So, how's school going with the kids?"

"It's going fine. Maureen's a senior so she can't wait till graduation. Kathleen's a freshman, she's a little nervous and afraid that she'll be called a fish, but I told her that everything would be fine, and the twins are in third grade."

"Did you show the sonogram picture to them?"

"Yeah, and they liked it, but of course, I had to point out everything, which got the twins arguing with each other about whether the baby will be a boy or a girl and they started asking questions about the picture."

"I agree with Elizabeth, I want a girl too, but I'll take with a boy or a girl,"

"So do I," said Elliot. "Especially with the woman that I love."

They came out of the file room with a stack of files and walked towards their desks when they saw Cragen come out of his office and coming over towards the two detectives.

"This doesn't look good," said Elliot.

"It's not, "sighed Cragen. "An eight-year-old girl has been reported missing and they mother is suspecting foul play. Go talk with her and see what you can find out."

"We're on it," said Elliot, as he and Olivia grabbed their suit jackets and were on their way.

Brighton Beach – Miller Residence – 10:00am

When Olivia and Elliot arrived at the home, the little girl's mother went straight towards them, becoming very hysterical.

"Have you found my baby?" the mother asked.

"We haven't found her yet, ma'am," said Elliot. "But we're doing the best we can and we will find her."

"I'm going to tell you right now that it was Jeffrey that did this!"

"Who's Jeffrey?" Olivia asked.

"My ex-husband. We divorced about three years ago when Sarah was five."

"Do you think that Jeffrey would want to kidnap Sarah?" Olivia asked the mother.

"Oh yes, he's trying to declare that I'm an unfit mother and can't take care of her."

Meanwhile, the detectives asked the mother a few more questions, took a recent picture of Sarah, and went back to the precinct.

SVU Squad Room – 11:30am

"You guys think that Jeffrey Miller would have such a vendetta against Lori that would make him kidnap his own little girl?" Cragen asked the detectives.

"According to Lori, yes, we do," said Elliot, firmly.

"Any background checks on the parents?"

"We haven't ran one yet, but will do ASAP," replied Olivia.

"Why don't you do that and let me know what you find."

"You got it," said Olivia. Her and Elliot left out of Cragen's office and went back to their desks.

1:15pm

After lunch, Elliot and Olivia started checking the database for some leads on the Miller case.

"OK, Elliot, check this out, this guy's got a rap sheet," called out Olivia.

Elliot stood up and looked over her shoulder at the screen, "Oh my gosh, assault, burglary, 2 counts of rape of a minor, attempted rape, and murder. He's out on parole now. This all goes back to ten years."

"It's doesn't look good on finding Sarah alive," said Olivia, rubbing her temples.

"We've got to find this guy," said Elliot. "Got an address?"

"5542 Winchester, right here," she said, waving a piece of paper, "let's go."

Bartley Construction – 2:00pm

After going to Jeffrey Miller's apartment and seeing that he wasn't home, Elliot and Olivia found out from his neighbor where he worked so they decided to pay him a visit to his workplace. Elliot placed him under arrest and read him his rights. Munch and Fin were called to meet them there just in case Jeffrey Miller resisted arrest.

SVU Interrogation Room – 2:45pm

"I'm going to tell you people right now that I didn't rape any kids or murder anyone," snapped Jeffrey after Elliot read him the rap sheet.

"Well, we found your DNA on those victims from three years ago, about the time that you and Lori got divorced," said Olivia, sitting down in the chair. "What happened? Did you go crazy and it drove you to kidnap your daughter?"

"You better watch it," smirked Jeffrey, "that smart little tone of yours will get you into trouble."

Olivia glared at him while Elliot came over there and kicked Jeffrey's chair out from under him. "OK, why don't we just get down to business here, the nitty gritty?"

"What's your problem, man?" asked Jeffrey, after he stood up from the floor and sat back in his chair.

"My problem is that you're a rapist, those people I don't like, and you're probably hurting Sarah," said Elliot. "That's my problem."

"Tell us where Sarah is," pressed Olivia.

"I didn't kidnap her," Jeffrey told her.

Elliot stood up from his chair and walked out of the interrogation room to get him a glass of water. He hoped that Jeffrey would confess to kidnapping Sarah, but knew that he wouldn't. He had already denied that he didn't do anything at all, let alone all of his other past offenses.

"Your partner should be charged with police brutality," Jeffrey told Olivia.

Olivia ignored him and spoke up again, "I'm going to ask you this again, Jeffrey, and I better get a straight answer, but did you take Sarah from Lori?"

Jeffrey walked over to where Olivia was standing and edged up really close to her, "I love my daughter. Why would I want to kidnap and rape her?"

Olivia began to feel uncomfortable with Jeffrey right in her face. She could feel him breathe on her and it made her sick.

"Hey, it's just you and me now, honey," said Jeffrey, placing his hand on her cheek. "I just love powerful women like you."

"You're sick."

This made Jeffrey snap and he grabbed Olivia's shoulders and slammed her against the wall and attempted to rough her up. Olivia looked up at him with a "what are you gonna do next" look and she tried to fight him off, but he was too strong and she had to be careful not to do anything since she was pregnant and it could make things worse.

"You really shouldn't do this," she stammered.

Jeffrey started to make a trail with his fingers on Olivia's chest, touching her tiny silver necklace, then the front of her light blue ¾-sleeve layered shirt and going down further and attempting to put his hands down her pants, which made Olivia wince.

"Please, don't," she begged.

He stepped away from her, and then he raised his hand up and slapped her hard across the face and knocked her down to the floor. Soon after this, Munch and Fin, who were watching from the window outside, raced in the room to see about Olivia and cuffing Jeffrey and getting him away from her.

"Are you OK, Olivia?" Munch asked as he stooped down to where she was on the floor and starting helping her up with Fin on the other side of her.

Olivia put her hand to her lip and saw blood on her fingers. Then she thought about the baby. Oh god, the baby. She wanted to place her hand to her stomach, but didn't want Munch and Fin to become suspicious at that. She turned to Munch and asked, "I'm OK, but could you get Elliot?"

Munch looked suspicious, but went and got his fellow co-worker who was talking to Cragen about the case. Elliot raced in the interrogation room wondering what was going on in there.

"That Jeffrey Miller tried to rough up Olivia, punched her in the face, and she was knocked to the floor," Munch said as they walked in the room.

Elliot raced over to where Olivia was sitting in the chair that she was just sitting in a few minutes before, being a little shaken up from everything that happened. Munch and Fin were about to leave out of the room when Elliot announced that she needed to be checked out, which aroused the other two detectives' suspicions more, because Olivia always refused medical attention. When they left, Elliot saw how Olivia looked with her bloody lip that was starting to swell and the bright red spot on her cheek that almost looked like a handprint—that bastard's handprint, he had his hands all over Olivia. He regretted not being in there with her when this incident occurred or else it wouldn't have happened and if Jeffrey Miller did anything to Olivia that would hurt their baby, he would kill him.

"Elliot, the baby," she whispered.

"Shh, it's OK," he assured her.

About that time, Cragen came in and asked Olivia if she was all right.

"I'm OK, but I need to go get this checked out," she replied, pointing to her lip.

"I'll go with her," said Elliot.

Cragen knew that Olivia refused treatment and was a little suspicious, but just said, "Call me after you get checked out."

Olivia nodded at him and she and Elliot left the room. As they walked out to the car, Elliot turned to Olivia with a sad look in his eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Liv, I should have been in there the whole time. If I'd only known..."

"It's OK, El. I'm just worried about the baby. I can't let anything happen," she said, finally getting a chance to place her hand on her stomach, where she hoped her baby was lying safe inside.

As Elliot drove to the hospital, he hoped that everything would be OK and that their baby would be fine from the entire trauma and promised to protect the two of them from harm and keep them safe.
