Seeing Elliot made Olivia cry harder. She wondered if he could handle the things she was about to tell him. Things that could change everything.

"Liv, babe, don't cry." He held in his own tears; he needed to be strong in front of her. He already had five children, while she was pregnant with her first kid, and this was his kid as well. Being a father was his favorite job, and he wanted that baby as much as Olivia did, even though he just knew he was going to be a father again.

"Don't cry, babe," he repeated. "You'll have our child." He said rubbing her hand.

"It's my baby, not ours.," she said with pain in her voice. "You don't need to do anything. You can't do anything, you are married and I don't want another partner…"

Elliot interrupted her. "Shh, it's gonna be okay."

"I wish you were right." Olivia whispered.

"I am, Liv." He wasn't really sure, she didn't look anywhere near okay. "Why you need to see me?"

"I need to have surgery to keep this baby. "

"Go ahead. If you need someone to stay with you, I'm here."

"It's not that simple." She looked at the floor. " If I die, will you look after this baby?"

"What are you talking about?"

"It's dangerous. I want this baby more than anything in my life, but I may die. Will you take care of my baby?"

Elliot's eyes were teary as he stepped closer to Olivia, giving her a hug as he said, "This baby is ours, Liv, no matter what you say." He let out a sigh."All I want is a baby with you, all I want is a life with you. I'll look after both of you."

"El, what about Kathy?"

"She's history. I'm worried about you, Liv. Promise me, that you'll go through surgery and be strong. I'm not asking you be strong for me, but for our baby."

"El, I don't know if I can. I'm in pain…"

"Just try, promise?"

"I will," she sighed.

The doctor entered Olivia's bedroom and asked, "Have you decided yet, Ms. Benson?"

"Yes, I'll do the surgery, doc."

"Okay, you need someone else to sign the papers. I assume Mr. Stabler is your family." The doctor handed the papers to Elliot to sign. "It's not that easy, read everything and see if you're in agreement."

"He's not my fam…" Olivia couldn't finish her sentence because Elliot cut her off.

"Olivia told me everything, it's okay." He signed his name and gave back the papers.

"We are going to take you in ten minutes," the doctor said Olivia. "You can't watch the surgery, Mr. Stabler, but you can stay here till we pick her up.

Elliot sat on Olivia's bed, where she was sitting as well. They spent ten minutes holding each other. When the nurse came to take her, Elliot said, "I love you, Liv." He kissed her hair as she started to cry hardly. She tried to understand Elliot's words. She knew she could die and never know what he meant. She could die and never see her baby, but now, she also knew she needed to try to follow her dream.

Elliot left her bedroom when she went to surgery. He was desolated. Now, amid all the pain, he noticed his feelings for her weren't just friendly. When he wanted her, it was not just a sexual urge. He actually loved her. He had loved her for years. Now it was clear, but he knew now that he could lose her, not for some other man, but he could lose her forever.


Mel saw Elliot and asked, "How is she?"

"She's going to have another surgery," Elliot said.

"Why? I've talked to the doctors, They told me she was going to be okay."

"It's another surgery, Mel. And according to the papers I signed, it's really dangerous."

"Why did you sign them? What kind of surgery?"

Elliot took a breath and whispered, "To keep the baby…"

"Wait, is she..."

"Yes, she's pregnant with my baby."
