A/N: This chapter is another really short one, soooooo sorry! It's my first shot at writing a Huang scene so I hope you guys like it!
Huang
Cragen had set Huang up in a sitting room upstairs in the precinct.
Olivia meekly knocked on the door, causing Huang to look up.
"Come on in." He smiled. His voice was warm, and somehow soothing to Olivia.
"Everyone seems to think I should talk to you." Olivia said, almost inaudible, as she slowly entered the room, and closed the door behind her.
"Please, sit." Huang kindly instructed.
Olivia did as she was told. "So…" Olivia began.
"How are you doing?" George asked.
"I'm hangin in there." Olivia answered truthfully.
"Good. You didn't seem so good when I left the hospital the other day though." He noted.
"I wasn't." Olivia answered againt ruthfully. She couldn't lie to this man; he always called her on it.
"So, what changed?" George asked.
"Bella came up to see me. She reminded me that I may have lost a child, but I still have one who needs her mother, at home." Olivia smiled. "I wasn't about to prove all those jackasses, who tried to take her away form me, right."
"Have you and Elliot talked about thisat all?" Huang asked.
"A little." Olivia answered with a sigh. "There isn't much to say though." She continued. "It may be because Elliot's my husband, or it may be because he's my partner, but he can always tell what I'm feeling without me having to say anything." She explained. "He knows that I'm hurting, and he knows that I blame myself."
"Why do you blame yourself?" Huang asked.
"Because I knew I was pregnant; I may not have had a positive test in my hand, but deep down, I knew." Olivia began. She silently cursed the tears that she was forced to choke back. "I should never have been in the field that day." She finished, looking down at her hands.
Huang could tell that she was ashamed. He knew that she was questioning her ability to be a mother.
"You cannot blame yourself for this Olivia." He said, taking her hands in his. "You had no way of knowing that he was going to hit you."
"Yeah, people keep telling me that. What I really need to know is how to make myself believe it." She said, tears now freely falling.
"Liv, look at how much you love that baby. You only knew about him for a few seconds, but you love him as much as Isabelle. I know that you would never do anything that would knowingly put him in danger." George soothed.
"What if they were right, what if I am a bad mother." She cried.
"All you have to do is look at Isabelle to know that that isn't true." Huang said. "She is that happiest kid I have ever seen. A blind man can see how much she is loved. You never doubt your ability to be her mother." He said sternly.
"How do I make this pain go away?" She pleaded.
"You have to try to get back to a normal life. Spend time with Isabelle, go out with Elliot, and get back to work; but don't forget to mourn." He answered truthfully.
Olivia nodded. "Is that all?" She asked. She was tired of showing this much emotion. She just wanted to get back to work. That was how she mourned.
"Yeah, that's all." George answered.
Olivia got up to leave, but Huang called after her, "If you need to talk, I'm here."
"I know." She smiled, and left the room to return to her colleagues.
TBC... short I know, but the next one is longer. From now on I'm gonna try to make the chapters AT LEAST 1000 words! Review Please!
