Alex woke up with pain in every part of her body. She was covered in blood. She felt someone's weight on her chest. She glanced down and her heart constricted at the sight of Jackson on top of her, protecting her in the way only he could. She reached down to touch him. He was cold. She knew he was gone. She felt hot tears fill her eyes as she tried to turn to see if Emily was okay. She couldn't move. She reached one hand down to touch her stomach and prayed softly that she wouldn't lose her baby before the darkness consumed her.

Olivia and Elliot sped down the highway, running every red light. Olivia was gripping the seat tightly. Her face was white with fear and her eyes were wide. Elliot wasn't much better. His knuckles were white on the wheel and his eyes were bloodshot and scared. He drove faster.
They finally arrived at the scene a few minutes after Casey's call. The ambulance was already there. The paramedics wouldn't let the detective pass. Olivia fought against their hold.
"Let me see my baby!" she screamed, clawing at the patrolmen that kept her from her child.
Elliot reached over to wrap his arms around her. He wanted to see his daughter as well, but knew not to interrupt the paramedics. He wrapped his wife in his arm and both of them collapsed in tears.
Olivia let out a strangled sound when she saw the paramedics bring out Jackson and put a black tarp over him. She didn't want to believe that he was gone. Alex was now all alone. Alex was wheeled out next and she was completely soaked in red blood with cuts all over her body from the glass on the car. Olivia began to tremble as the paramedics wheeled out her daughter.
Elliot let out a cry of pain when he saw his daughter's small body on the stretcher. Olivia broke down and reached to take Emily's small hand.
"Hang in there sweetie. Mommy's here." She whispered in tears.
Elliot held his wife's shoulders. "We're both here baby. Stay with us." He said just as softly.
The paramedic came up to them. "We had one casualty." He informed them just as Casey ran up to them. "The other two are on their way to the emergency room."
Casey spoke up. "I'm gonna ride with Alex." She stated firmly.
Olivia nodded and turned to Elliot. "I'm gonna ride with Emily. You get to the hospital as fast as you can." She said.
Elliot nodded understanding her maternal instinct kicking in. He watched Olivia and Casey climb into the ambulance and he ran to his car. He was so scared. So worried. Emily and Olivia were part of him. He couldn't live without both of them.

Casey took Alex's hand. "Hang in there girl." She said softly. Alex was her boss, but she was also her friend. One of her best friends. Alex had been there and covered her ass when Casey made a mistake with a judge. She had chosen not to fire her and had told her she was the best ADA she had. Casey was hurting for Alex. Her chances were not good and her baby's were zero to none. If the baby survived then Alex would have to deal with being a single mom. Casey didn't know if she could handle it.
Olivia wasn't faring much better in Casey's opinion. Her head was bent over her daughter and tears were flowing down her face. She was bloody from Emily's wounds and Casey was from Alex's but neither cared. Casey had grown fond of the little girl and prayed that nothing would take her from her parents.

Cragen was the one who had to take aspects of the damages. Jackson was dead. Alex was severely hurt. No one had any idea how her baby was and Emily was in critical state. He rubbed his temples. He couldn't believe this. Jackson was dead. Cragen had never been fond of the reporter until he married Alex. He had been a nice guy. He didn't just report gossip, but cooperated with the police to get the truth out. He had been proud to give Alex to Jackson in marriage. Cragen couldn't believe he was gone. How would Alex deal? She was pregnant.
Olivia was Cragen's next thought. She was like his daughter and Emily was like his granddaughter. The child's condition was critical. Cragen's eyes were lined with worry and fear. They couldn't lose the child. She was so precious. She was the sweetest child he had ever crossed. Her attitude was so much like Olivia's and her stubbornness was so like Elliot's. She was the product of Elliot's and Olivia's love. They had crossed so many roadblocks together to get this far. Emily was their proof that both had the strength to leave behind their past.
Could you cry a little
Die just a little
Baby I'm in too much pain
I gave now I'm wanting
Something in return
I can hear your goodbye
Nothing's gonna save me
Without you by my side
I can't see anything left in your eyes
Give me something to cling onto
Give it a try
I don't want anything else
But what is mine
