After few days, Olivia left the hospital. She was crying as she caressed her belly when someone knocked the door. It was her first day back home. Even with everybody telling her to stay in the hospital for a few more days, she decided go home. She thought it probably make her remember her pregnancy.

No, how I got pregnant, she reminded herself. She didn't get up. Whoever was at her door would be back later. Now she needed time for herself. But the door was unlocked, and she knew who had the keys.

"Liv, it's me, Elliot. Are you home?" Elliot yelled.

"In my bedroom," Olivia said between sobs.

He entered her bedroom and turned on the light as he asked, "What's wrong, Liv? Does it hurt?"

"Not physically," she sighed. "I thought coming back to my home would remind me of something, but it's not working. I feel terrible. I don't remember a single thing."

"It comes with time, Liv."

"I've heard that too much, when will it be time? I don't know what happened between us, I don't know how the squad reacted about it. Nobody will tell me these kinds of details. I'm getting tired of waiting, I don't know if I'm gonna be a good mom if I can't remember how my baby got in my tummy."

She was almost crying when Elliot kissed her forehead. "You'll be fine." He sat on her bed, hugging her and pulling her into his arms. "Don't worry, the squad is fine with this. Cap did all the paperwork." He caressed her belly and could hear Olivia sighing in relief. "I love you." He kissed her hair. "And don't worry, you didn't eat a cabbage with a baby inside you."

It made her laugh. "Oh, really." He loved to hear her laughter. It helped him believe in her recovery.

"Really, it was a watermelon seed." She hit him playfully, laughing so naturally that Elliot joined in the laughter.

They stayed quiet for a few minutes. Elliot kept his hand over Olivia's belly and she rested her own hand over his. They just broke apart when his phone rang.

"Stabler... Yes, I'm on my way."

"Cap?"

"Yes, I'm sorry Babe, I need to go. They need me."

"I wish I could go, I miss it."

He kissed her forehead. "I know, but it's not good for your health. It's for the baby's health as well."

He walked to the door and Olivia followed him when he walked out. Olivia leaned against the door frame and asked, "El, what we did... you know, that… um… was it good?"

He held her chin, looked into her eyes and said, "Liv, the sex was amazing. Every single time. We are connected." He kissed her passionately. She moaned. "I love you, Liv."

"You're gonna be late," she said. He kissed her again, lightly this time and said,

"See you later."

"See you," she whispered.

Why couldn't I say I love you to him? she thought, watching Elliot walk down the hallway.


Should I dare continue this? One or two chapters more. Whatever is your thought, I would love her from you. :)
