1A/N: Hey guys thanks for the reviews, I give ya'll all a hug! Here's the next chapter in this Law and Order story, hope you enjoy! Oh by the way, is it just me or does it seem like Mariska and Chris didn't really have many episodes together this season? I mean I know she's pregnant, but they knew that she was trying to get pregnant, so why didn't they have them do more episodes together at the beginning of this season? Or did they plan it that way for a reason? Does anyone know?

Chapter Three: Feelings

Elliot and Olivia made it to the hospital some thirty minutes later. When they got to the floor that Callie was on, they found a Doctor who had replaced the one who had been stabbed with the syringe. After showing him their badges and asking them how the other Doctor was, he finally took them into Callie's room. When Olivia and Elliot entered the room they saw that Callie was crying and a nurse was trying to soothe her. But Olivia could tell by the look on Callie's face that she didn't want the nurse anywhere near her. When Callie saw Olivia and Elliot she immediately held her arms out to Olivia, so Olivia went over to her and sat down on the bed with Callie and Callie threw her arms around Olivia's neck. Olivia wrapped her arms around the little girl and rocked her back and forth as the little girl cried. The nurse got up and left the room, leaving only Olivia, Callie, and Elliot. And Elliot couldn't help but tear up a little at the image before him. Not only because of everything Callie had been through, but because of the way she and Olivia had taken to each other.

A little while later Callie had finally cried herself to sleep in Olivia's arms. So Olivia carefully laid the girl back down on the bed and covered her with the blanket. She carefully got up and sat down in the chair that was beside the bed. Looking over at Elliot who was sitting in another chair next to hers, she said,

"I guess we'll need to wait awhile before we ask her any questions"

"Yeah, she could probably use the rest anyways"

"Elliot if you want to leave and go home to get some rest that's fine, I'll stay here" offered Olivia

"No, I'm fine. I'd rather stay here and wait with you" he replied

Olivia just nodded her head as she turned and looked back down at Callie sleeping.

About two hours later Elliot woke up to find his legs propped up at the end of Callie's bed and Olivia's propped up on top of his. When he looked over at Olivia she was sound asleep with her head resting on her arm. He wondered how she could ever sleep like that, if it were him his arm would give out on him and he would hit his head on the arm rest or find himself awakening with a terrible cramp in his neck. He smiled as he watched her sleep, she seemed so peaceful and innocent just like Callie did. He looked over at the little girl as well and saw that her eyes were still closed and she was laying in a fetal position. His smile faded as he watched the little girl sleeping, wondering how anyone could hurt this sweet little girl. There was no way for her to even try and defend herself. She would have been no match for a grown man. He thought about how he would sometimes worry about Olivia when they were working on a case and some guy they were interviewing would hit on her. He hated when that happened, he always thought that they might go after Olivia and that worried him. He knew that she could defend herself and that she would most definitely shoot the bastard if she had to. But Callie was just a little girl, only six years old, there was no way she could possibly beat the crap out of a grown man who was trying to hurt her.

As Elliot was lost in thought Callie slowly woke up and looked over at the two detectives. She saw that Elliot was awake and moved slightly to catch his attention. He saw her move and looked at her only to find her awake and staring at him. He smiled before quietly saying,

"Hey Callie, how are you feeling?"

She just shrugged her shoulders and looked over at Olivia. Elliot watched her eyes as they shifted to look at Olivia.

"She fell asleep soon after you did. Do you want me to wake her up so that you can talk to her?"

Callie just shook her head no and looked back at Elliot. While she was looking at him she grabbed the stuffed dog that Oliver had given her and held onto it tightly.

"You okay sweetie?" Elliot asked her

"I'm scared. I don't want the bad men to come get me."

"Oh sweetie, I promise Olivia and I won't let that happen again" he told her as he leaned forward a little in his chair.

Callie got a sad look on her face and Elliot thought she was going to cry again.

"Sweetie are you okay? Do you want me to come sit with you on the bed?"

"Maybe just on the end of the bed" she told him pointing at the foot at the bed.

"Okay" he smiled at her

He carefully leaned forward and ever so gently lifted Olivia's feet off of his legs and set them down on the end of Callie's bed. Then he got up and walked over to the end of the bed and sat down on it facing Callie.

Elliot sat there looking at Callie and couldn't help but picture Lizzie when she was that age and it brought a smile to his face. Callie noticed the smile so she asked,

"Why are you smiling?"

"I was thinking about my kids"

Callie's face softened at the mention of him having kids.

"You have kids?"

"Yeah three girls and a boy"

"Do you have any of them my age?"

"No they are all older than you. But my twins are only a little older than Oliver"

"You have twins?" she asked intrigued

Elliot smiled at her reaction before replying,

"Yeah a boy and a girl"

"Really, what are their names?"

"Dickie and Lizzie"

Callie smiled as she scooted a little bit closer to Elliot, although you wouldn't be able to tell that she had moved all that far. They were still sitting a good length apart.

"Don't you're kids miss you when you're gone at night?" she asked him

"Well actually they live with their mom now"

"Oh, Why?"

Elliot smiled as the little girl began to ask a list of questions.

"Their mother and I just got divorced"

"Oh, do they get to see you a lot?"

"Not really. I wish I could see them more"

"Then why don't you?"

"I have to work a lot. And it feels good to help kids who are in trouble"

"So you help kids like me a lot?" she asked him

"Yeah we do"

"That's good. You and Olivia are nice policeman. Some policeman aren't very nice, so I'm glad you're the one helping kids"

"I'm glad we're helping you too" Elliot told the little girl with a smile

They continued their conversation, with Callie asking a bunch of questions and Elliot answering them. They were so involved talking to one another that neither of them noticed that Olivia had woken up and was watching them interact with one another with a smile on her face. She sat their quietly listening and watching Elliot and Callie together. Callie just happened to look over at Olivia and see that she was awake, and she smiled.

"Hi Livia" said Callie, which caused Elliot to look over and see Olivia with a smile on her face.

"Hey, how are you doing?" Olivia asked the young girl

"I was scared but Elliot's been talking to me" she told her

"I see and what all are you talking about?" she asked Callie

"Stuff, Detective Benson" Elliot told her before Callie could answer

Olivia just laughed a little before taking her feet off of the end of Callie's bed and sitting up a little straighter in her chair. Then she looked at Elliot and they both knew that it was time to ask the little girl some more questions about what happened tonight.

"Sweetie, we need to ask you some more questions about what happened tonight" Olivia told the girl

"I know" she answered

"Okay, well, can you tell me if you knew the man who came into your room?" she asked Callie

"It was Mark. He's never hurt me before" she told Olivia

"Are you okay sweetie?" Olivia asked

"Yeah, I just don't want them to hurt me again. I want my mom. Are you gonna find her?" Callie asked her

"Yes sweetie we are gonna find her" Olivia told the little girl as she wrapped her arms around her again to give the little girl a hug.

"Callie, Olivia and I have to go back to work, but we are going to put another policeman outside your room, okay" Elliot told the little girl

"I don't want you to go" the little girl cried

"I know honey, but we have to go find your mom, and the men who hurt you" Olivia told her

"But I want you to stay with me"

"Sweetie don't worry, no one is allowed in your room except for the Doctor we talked to and the one nurse who we all know, okay" Elliot told her reassuringly

"And the policeman is not going to let anyone else in okay" Olivia told Callie

Callie looked up at Olivia and then over to Elliot with a sad look on her face, and it broke both Olivia and Elliot's hearts. They really wanted to stay and protect the fragile little girl, but they also wanted to catch the guys who did this to her, and find her mom. Olivia prayed that she hadn't made a promise to the little girl that she wouldn't be able to keep.

"Can Oliver come visit me later?" Callie asked Olivia

"I'm sure he would like that sweetie. Maybe if I have a break later today, or when I get off later I can bring him by" she told the little girl

"Okay" she replied. She seemed satisfied knowing that she was going to see Oliver later that day.

Elliot and Olivia looked at each other before standing up.

"We'll see you in a little while then, okay" Olivia told the girl

"Kay" she answered

"Bye" Elliot said

"Bye" the little girl said, as Elliot and Olivia walked out the door to Callie's room.

They gave instructions to the police officer that Cragen had sent over to keep watch outside Callie's room. Then they walked down the hall to the elevator in silence. When they got into the elevator they were the only two people in it, because it was nearly 3 AM and the hospital was pretty quiet. As they going down to the first floor Olivia broke the silence,

"Are you still mad at me?"

"What do you think Liv?"

"I think we should focus on finding that little girl's mother, and catching the bastard's who did that to her"

"That's what I'm doing. Yes I'm angry with you, but I'm not going to let it affect me finding those guys. That little girl deserves our full undivided attention. So that's what I'm doing"

"Okay"

"Okay"

Cragen called right as they were leaving the hospital and told them to get a few hours of sleep and then come into the station around 6 AM. So Elliot took Olivia and dropped her off at her apartment and then went home to get some sleep himself.

A/N: Okay there's that chapter. There's one thing I forgot to ask up at the top. Did anybody see the article they did on how they are having Mariska exit the show for her maternity leave? I saw a picture of her holding her neck and laying in what looked to be a pool of blood. So supposedly she gets injured somehow. I just hope that when she does get injured Elliot is there with her. Because I don't know if ya'll have noticed that whenever one of them has a very serious emotional case, the other one isn't in that episode. So let's hope if they are having Detective Benson get injured, that Elliot is there with her. Anyways, I'm not sure when that episode is supposed to air, but I think she is supposed to be gone for 6 of the episodes, I'm guessing the last 6 since her little boy is due in June. But they did say that she would be back for the last episode. Hmmm, not sure how they're gonna do that one. Anyways enough of my babbling, hope ya'll enjoyed.
