A/n: ALEX IS COMING BACK! ALEX IS COMING BACK! Can you tell I'm excited? Okay, so that's a spoiler for Tuesday, but come on… it's a big deal!

Elliot gently kissed the back of Olivia's neck as she put on her makeup. Then he straightened up and finished tying his tie. "I don't see why you're even putting the tie back on," she teased, smiling.

"Mrs. Prescott would have a heart attack if she saw me without a tie," he said, smiling back at her. He kissed her cheek quickly. "I'm going to go home, shower and change. I'll come back to pick you up in two hours, okay?" he asked.

"Yeah. See you at ten," she replied. He kissed her once more before showing himself out. She smiled back at her reflection, thinking about the night before. Elliot had been so kind to her… even after she'd been such a bitch to him. The ringing of her telephone snapped her out of her reverie. "Benson," she said, picking up the receiver.

"Hey Mom. Just calling to check in," Kaitlyn replied.

"Hey Kaity. You on your way to school?" she asked.

"Yeah," Kaitlyn told her.

"Alright. I'll see you this afternoon, okay?" she asked.

"Okay. I gotta go. Love you!" her daughter said. She hung up without saying goodbye, leaving Olivia with a dead line.

"I've got to work with her on phone manners," she muttered, hanging up the telephone.

Olivia smiled at Elliot from across the room. "Aren't you excited?" she asked.

"Of course I am. But I don't like sitting here waiting," he replied, smiling back at her. She rolled her eyes.

"Patience is a virtue, Stabler. And doctors visits require a hell of a lot," she replied. He got up and walked over to her, putting his arms around her.

"I'm glad to see the Olivia Benson I fell in love with has come back," he said, kissing her.

"Hey now, no funny business. We've got to go to work after this," she reminded him, pulling his roaming hands back in front of her. She slid her fingers between his, holding his hands with hers.

"I know. But sometimes, you just drive me crazy," he whispered, kissing her cheek. She pushed him away.

"Calm down, Romeo. There'll be time for that later," she replied, now speaking in a whisper herself. "Why don't you go sit down before I become too tempting for you, alright?" He went back to his seat and smiled at her evilly from across the room. "What now?" she asked, unable to look serious.

"Just thinking," he said, his smile widening. She rolled her eyes.

"If that's what comes from your mind, then don't think," she told him. He smiled normally. Before he could reply with a smart comment, the doctor came in.

Fin watched as Olivia walked into the bullpen, hung up her coat, and sat down, in complete and utter silence. "You okay, baby?" he asked. She didn't look up, which worried him even more. He walked over and gently touched her shoulder. "Liv?" She still didn't respond. "Olivia, what's the matter?" he asked, shaking her just a little. He knelt down and looked up at her eyes. He could see that she'd been crying.

"I… I can't do this," she whispered. Fin watched as her tears began to fall.

"Do what, baby?" he asked. Her strange behavior was seriously beginning to scare him. He watched her for a moment. "Liv, what can't you do?"

"It was okay before… there was only one. But now… I can't handle two," she whispered. Fin looked up as he heard Elliot walk into the room.

"Thanks, Fin. I'll take it from here," he said, gently pulling Olivia to her feet. "C'mon, Liv. Let's go home," he said. Olivia leaned against him, sobbing into his shirt.

"I can't do this," she sobbed. Fin watched as Elliot wrapped his arms around her, kissing her cheek. "I'm scared."

"I know, Liv. It's okay," Elliot whispered. Finally, her sobs quieted. "Are you ready to go?"

"No, I'll be okay… I just need to get some air," she whispered, grabbing her coat. Elliot kissed her cheek and let her go before turning to Fin.

"I'm sorry about that. She was fine in the car," Elliot told him.

"Spill," Fin said, leaning against Olivia's desk. A lot of the conversation he'd had with Liv didn't make sense.

"Twins," Elliot replied. Fin's lower jaw hit the ground.
