Note Please read: Hi I know that it has been forever since I have updated but my life is really chaotic right now, with school and a have a lot of personal things going on with my family. I have actually been righting its just a matter of getting it ready to be posted. I have started writing a sequel to this story that really focuses on Elliot and Olivia's relationship. I have also started to right a rather long song fic that has to do with Elliot dealing with the divorce and slowly noticing Olivia and his feelings for her, It is called Reluctant Romeo. I want to have the whole story written before I start to post it so I don't have the same problem that I have now where you guys have to wait so long so see what is going to happen.

Chapter 5

Cragen stood outside of the hospital room, watching two of his best detectives sleeping. They had been like that for about and hour and a half.

"You watching our two lovebirds" came Munch's voice from behind him.

"Its that obvious isn't it?"

"Yeah it is, not that they would notice" Munch said looking over his sunglasses.

Cragen nodded "did you get the letter?"

"yeah"

"Did you read it?"cragen asked

"No I didn't think it was any of my business, I think that the only person Elliot would want to see it is Olivia." Munch said handing the envelope over to the captain.

Cragen nodded and made his way in to the hospital room.

Olivia was still asleep, half in a chair half in the bed. Her head was on his hand and tear stained her face. Cragen walked over to her and lightly shook her, her body jumped but her eyes remained closed. "Elliot" she murmured at a tone that wasbarly audible.

"No, Olivia it's me Don" his tone was sympathetic. It broke is heart to see the women who has come to feel like his daughter in the state she was in.

Olivia opened her eyes and her face flushed red. She new it didn't look good if the first person she expects to see when she wakes up was her partner. She looked up at Elliot and then back at Cragen. "He's a good man, he doesn't deserve this"

"I know Olivia I know, but we cant change what happened. The only thing you can do now is to be with him and help get through this part of his life. You are what he needs right now."

Olivia looked up ay her captain with questioning eyes. 'What did he know about how they felt for each other.'

Cragen could see the Question in her eyes but decided that this was not the time or the place to have this conversation. "I had Munch bring the letter over, and I think that Elliot would want you to read it" He said changing the subject and hanging the piece of paper. Without waiting to see if she was going to read it he turned around and left the room.

Olivia watched him leave the room and then looked down at the paper as if it was an anathema. She opened and read it. The tears started streaming down her face, she could only imagine the pain he was in. To find out that everything you knew was based on a lie. She knew that the whole reason that He and Kathy had gotten married was because she was pregnant with Maureen. Did Kathy even know that Elliot was not Maureen's father. She must have loved him at some point Kathleen and the twins were his.

Olivia was snapped out of her thoughts when she felt a hand lightly brush across her cheek. Her head quickly looked to see Elliot had woken up. "Elliot, thank God. How do you feel?"

"Like I was ran over by a truck" Elliot replied his voice was soft and hoarse. He did feel a little better when he saw her face by his bed. He looked at her and noticed the letter. "Did you read it?"

"Yeah is that alright?"

"Yeah, I just ...How could..." But Elliot could not find the right words. Olivia stood up and pulled Elliot close to her in a comforting embrace.

When she tried to pull away from him he stopped her holding her closer to him "I need you to stay with me Liv,...will you?"

Another tear fell down her face as she nodded "Always."
