Olivia never left her daughter's side. She held tightly onto the little girl's hand. Elliot watched them two of them from the doorway. He had just told Maureen to take the twins home. He leaned his weight on one side, trying to keep the tears from falling. He had to be strong, not just for Olivia but for Emily as well.

"What if she doesn't make it?" Olivia asked Elliot without turning around.

He took a breath and moved close to his wife and laid his hands on her shoulders. "She'll make it Liv. She has to." He murmured softly.

Olivia turned to bury her face in his chest. "I'm scared El." She whispered through hot tears.

"So am I." he said just as softly, gently running his hand through her hair. "But we have to hang in there for Emily. She needs our faith to pull through. Trust her. She wouldn't leave her mama."

Olivia squeezed Elliot's hand.

"If she doesn't make it, El, I won't either."

Alex was asleep with her children in her arms. Casey slipped quietly into the room. She gently took the children from Alex's arms. She was planning on putting them in crib so Alex wouldn't wake up with sore arms. She had been running from room to room in the hospital trying to be there for both Olivia and Alex. The children opened their eyes and started to scream the moment they left their mother's arms. Casey winced at the sound.

Alex's eyes flew open and the first thing she was reach for the bedside table. She realized that she wasn't home. Casey quickly handed her back her children.

"Sorry. I was thinking about putting them in the crib to make sure you didn't drop them in your sleep or anything." She explained.

Alex smiled and rocked James and Faith gently. "Thanks Case, but I tried that already. These two can't be separated from me for a second." She said, kissing the twins on the top of the head.

"What was that with the lunging for the table episode?" Casey asked curiously.

Alex sighed. "After the incident with the WPP, I haven't been able to sleep unless there was a gun beside me, where I could easily get to it. The moment someone came toward me I would wake up. Jackson used to be really patient with me about that. He could deal with me and my panic attacks at night. I never got over the incident, but he lived with it and he made me feel safe." Alex whispered, sucking in a trembling breath before her voice broke and she erupted in tears.

Casey wrapped her arms around Alex, kids and all and let her cry on her shoulder. Olivia and Elliot still had some hope to cling onto. Alex didn't. She was on her own. Jackson was dead and Alex had two children to raise and a demanding job.

"It's okay Alex. It's gonna be okay." Casey comforted the blonde. "Everything's gonna be fine."

"I hope so Casey. Not for only my sake but for Olivia and Elliot too." Alex said softly, sobbing softly as her children clung onto her hair.

Olivia gazed at the small child on the bed with tubes stuck in her arms. It tore her apart to see her usually overly hyper daughter in that state. Elliot was feeling the same way. He took Olivia's and Emily's hand and held them tight. They were pulling in for a long night. Too long. The doctor had said if Emily survived the night then she would make it. Problem was that it was a fifty chance. Elliot was counting down the seconds and Olivia was counting every breath that Emily took, afraid that it would be her last. Elliot gazed at Olivia's fearful eyes.

"Liv we're gonna make it." He said firmly.

"I hope so Elliot. I really do."

"Captain, this is crap." Munch said throwing down a file.

"He's right for once. White's file doesn't give away anything. No new connections. No visits in prison. Nada." Fin agreed.

Cragen sighed. "Ok guys, got back to the accident site. I want forensics all over it again and I want you two watching their every move until they give you something. I don't care how irrelevant it is. I want some facts." He said.

The two quickly followed orders, grabbing their coats and rushing out.

Richard was very pleased with himself. He had managed to hurt both Alex and Olivia. He stared at their pictures on the wall. Four walls, two for each.

He moved to trace his fingers on Alex's side. Her picture was in the center, two of them actually, one with her black glasses that gave her a serious look perfect for an ADA, the other a much softer picture without the glasses, making her look sweet, almost friendly. Blue eyes and blonde hair, what a classic look. He smiled, running his hand along her face. He had newspaper articles taped to the wall. Her death, her resurrection, her best days in court, both wins and losses, and then of course the accident he had caused, along with the picture of her head husband. He also had pictures of her wedding and her childhood when she was a girl. Her whole life played out in his mind. She had made a fool of him in court. She had spoken with an air of confidence and sureness that she would put him away and she had. She had put him away for the max. He would punish her. Killing her husband, her support was the first step. He was gaining his control back and it gave him more of a high than any drug could.

He maneuvered to view the clippings and picture of Olivia. He smiled to himself. His job wasn't as complete with her as Alex. Emily should have died. It would have broken Olivia. It would make her weaker. Nonetheless he would still succeed. He had every single article on her heroic rescues and her most successful cases. He gazed at her picture. She was not the average cop. No cop male or female should look as she did. He wished he would have her golden hair and hazel eyes. She was the one that broke him and gave Alex what she needed to take his freedom. She had taken control of him and he had never forgotten her face, her words, or her name. He smiled. She had no idea that I've been watching her. He couldn't forgive Elliot Stabler for marrying Olivia. He had pictures of that and of their little girl. He would not forgive and would not forget. He would get his revenge. He trembled with excitement. He was going to make both of them pay for what they had done.

"Alexandra Sarah Cabot and Olivia Serena Benson, you are mine."
