He he! I think I am the infamous short chapter freak. We haven't left yet, and now I'm being told we may not leave till tomorrow morning. So, more story for you! Anyway, here is yet another chapter for all of you readers. It's time for a little bit of romance all you EO-shippers! This chapter will probably be longer since the last was insanely short. The button still doesn't work! Grrr…. So here's your chapter.

"Can I help you?" the hospital receptionist asked.

"We're looking for Elizabeth Stabler." said Munch.

"Okay," The nurse said as she looked to the computer screen. "She's in room 516."

"Thanks." replied Munch. He and Fin headed upstairs to meet Olivia and Elliot.

"Hey." Olivia greeted the two men who appeared in front of her. Her partner was sitting on the bench down the hall from Lizzie's room, head in hands, silently crying.

"How is she?" Munch asked her.

"She slipped into a coma."

"Oh god."

"Can we see her?" asked John.

"Go ahead." replied Olivia. Her mascara had started to run, and her eyes looked puffy. You could tell she had been crying. Munch and Fin entered Lizzie's room. Olivia sat down next to her partner on the bench outside.

"Elliot,"

"Olivia, I-I- I'm losing everyone… again."

"Elliot,"

"Kathy, Lizzie, I almost lost you too."

"El, you won't lose me. I'll be there for you. You'll always have me." She said, as the she kissed her partner. Elliot was surprised. But something was different. It seemed like something had ignited. Their lips broke apart.

"What the hell was that?" asked Elliot. They both laughed and their lips joined again.

"Something we've both been waiting for for years." She said as they kissed once again. Detectives Munch and Tutuola walked out of Lizzie's room just then. As soon as they realized what was going on, they quietly tip-toed back into Lizzie's room.

"And that would be 50 bucks. A total of 1,793 dollars so far this month! It's only the 8th. Damn, I could quit my job and just live off of bets with you!"

"Shut up Munch."

"When will you learn you can't win against Supermunch?" Munch asked as he raised his arms to flex his biceps.

"Supermunch? Where's your cape and bodysuit?"

"In the trunk of my car."

"Oh God. I see it on you now. Bulging biceps, a six-pack, and oh! That's not a pretty sight. Munch, you need an outfit not quite so tight there."

"Oh well, at least my superhero isn't a mermaid."

"You know, John –"

"Wait! No! It's Odafin. Your superhero is a smelly mermaid!"

"Shut up. What do you wanna bet they're an item by next week?"

"Hmmm… Alright. 75 bucks says they aren't. Oh, but Fin, you'll really never learn." Munch said, just as his fellow detectives entered the room.

"We should probably give you guys some time with her alone." said Fin as he and his partner left the room.

"Do want to talk to her alone?" Olivia questioned. Elliot's face looked sad and depressed once again. She had called Kathy earlier since Elliot was to upset to talk. She was coming in a few hours. Olivia had called Maureen and Elliot's apartment to let Kathleen and Dickie know. Apparently Dickie was at a friend's home. Kathleen said she would talk to him and get to the hospital as soon as possible.

"Yeah." replied Elliot. Detective Benson left the room. Elliot stood at Lizzie's side, holding her hand.

"Lizzie, I… I don't know what to do. Just don't die. Don't leave me, okay? After all the memories, so many, it just wouldn't be the same without you. You can't go! No! I won't let you! I… I love you." He had broken into a sob now, "Do… Don't you dare leave this place! God c… can't have you yet. Y… You've got to fight this. I… I know you c… can." Elliot had fallen to his knees now. His face was buried in his hands, and tears streamed down his face. Kathleen and Dickie entered the room. Olivia said that Maureen told her she'd probably be stuck in traffic, since it was nearing 6 pm. She was right. Kathleen knelt down next to her father. She stared at her beloved sister, and soon Dickie joined them. Even after all of the brother-sister fights, he still loved his twin. He didn't know what he'd do without her. Everything would be different. The three sat in that spot just staring, thinking about their relative. Their hearts were aching, memories flashed through their minds. After a while, Kathy arrived and Maureen came shortly after. The room was motionless.

"Elliot," a woman's voice interrupted the silence. Elliot has heard this voice so often, he could tell it from a mile away. He looked up to the doorway, and of course, it was Olivia. "Cragen's here."

"Okay." Elliot said as he stood up and left the room. "Where's Munch and Fin?"

"They went to the cafeteria." Olivia replied.

"Elliot, what happened?" Captain Don Cragen asked.

"They say it was a heroin overdose. She wouldn't use drugs. I don't get it. They said her blood pressure was unusually low when they took it, but of course, they didn't tell us." he responded.

"What if the injection was forced?" suggested Olivia. "Say she lost consciousness at some point during the rape. Say he wanted to intentionally give her an overdose. Couldn't the assailant have injected her then?"

"It is possible." Cragen said. "You said they still did a rape kit, right?"

"Yeah." answered Olivia.

"Alright. Elliot, you go stay with your family. Liv, you go get Munch and Fin from the cafeteria and see if they faxed Warner the results from the rape kit yet. If they did, run the DNA through the system. Let me know what happens. I'll be back at the stationhouse. Let's just hope the media doesn't get hold of this." commanded Cragen.

"Okay." Olivia replied. Elliot just quietly walked back into his daughter's room. He sat down on a chair next to Lizzie's bed. The room was still quiet. He had already told his family what happened, so there really wasn't much need for talk. Olivia made her way down the hall to the elevator when she bumped into a dark-haired man.

"Sorry," she apologized.

"Oh, that's okay." he responded. "Olivia?"

"Cassidy? Hey!"

"How are you?" he asked. She sighed,

"I've been better. What are you doing here?"

"My dad is here. He had a heart attack. What about you? Investigating another case?"

"Oh, I'm sorry about your dad. Um, actually yeah. Really close to home."

"What do you mean?"

"Elliot's daughter. She's in a coma."

"Are you serious? Oh my god. I'm so, so sorry. How is he doing? How are you doing?"

"I don't know. But you should stop by. 516." Olivia answered.

"Okay, thanks. I will. Well I have to get going. If I don't make it, give Elliot my sympathy."

"I will. See ya."

"Bye." he said as he walked down the hall. Olivia stepped into the elevator and rode downstairs, found Munch and Fin, and headed to the morgue.

At the Morgue

"I did get the results back from the rape kit." Melinda Warner informed the three detectives standing in front of her.

"And?" asked Fin.

"There were enough fluids for DNA, but I figured I'd wait to run them until you got here." she replied.

"Okay. So let's do it." said Detective Munch. Warner punched a bunch of keys on the board, and pictures started to flash by on the screen. After about two minutes, it stopped.

"We've got a match." said Olivia. "An Aaron Dreet."

"We should call the Captain." Fin suggested.

"You call him, I'm gonna call Elliot. He should probably know." Detective Benson told the other detectives. She dialed Elliot's cell phone number.

"Stabler."

"Hey, El-"

"Liv, did you find anything?"

"We found the perp."

"Olivia, who?"

"A man by the name of Aaron Dreet. He was convicted of raping a thirteen year-old girl. It looks like he just got out a week ago."

"D-Did you say Aaron Dreet?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Liv… This is personal."
