Disclaimer: I don't own SVU. If I did would Elliot still be gone?
A/N: Hey guys! California was AMAZING! I went to the LA Congress for Catholics which was awesome! Then I hit up Universal Studios, I went on that tour and it was great! I saw Chris Meloni there too! No, JUST KIDDING I wish though! Anyway… Here's the next chapter!
Kelsey woke up the next morning still in the hospital. She hated it there, but at least she was getting discharged today.
"Mom, Dad." Kelsey said waking up Olivia and Elliot. "How does this whole thing work? Do I give my statement to someone?"
"Yeah, sweetie." Elliot said, "Fin and Amanda will be here in a few minutes to get it and then we'll work this whole thing out."
"Will I be okay?" Kelsey asked sitting up, "I know I've been through this before and I should be strong, but I'm so scared right now. I shouldn't have let him get so close. This is all my fault." She said sobbing causing Olivia to get up and climb into the hospital bed with her.
"Kels, I've been working this job for four-teen years. None of this is your fault, baby. And you will be more then okay. You're strong and you have tons of people who are gonna be there for you every step of the way." Olivia said kissing the crown of Kelsey's head.
"Okay." Kelsey said before cuddling into Olivia and falling into a deep sleep

"Hey Kelsey." Fin said warmly. "We're here to take your statement." He said gesturing to Amanda and George.
After an hour of taking Kelsey's statement they were finally done. Fin and Amanda went back to the station to process Kelsey's statement.
"Umm… Mom and Dad?" Kelsey asked, "Do you think I can talk to George for a little in private for a little?"
Olivia and Elliot nodded and both kissed Kelsey on the cheek before they left.
"So, what's on your mind Kels?" George asked sitting on the edge of Kelsey's hospital bed.
"I don't know if I can do this much longer. Georgie." Kelsey said holding back a sob while using the nickname for George she uses.
"Do what?" He asked with a furrowed brow.
"Hunter. He's just going to keep coming back. He was on death row for killing Rachel, but somehow he escaped prison…" Kelsey said, "The only thing keeping me from taking my own life is knowing how much it would hurt the people around me, but what if that's the only way to end Hunter's game?"
"Then you let him win." George said, "You're stronger then he is. So many people love and cherish you and know that you can get through this. You, Me, your parents, your sibling, your uncles, your aunt Amanda, and Cragen, we're all going to get through this. We'll make sure Hunter will never get out of prison unless his dead body is being released." He said giving her hand a gentle squeeze
"And when this is all over, you're going to help me plan my parents wedding. Right?" Kelsey asked smiling.

Elliot and Olivia were curled up in bed asleep until they heard a ear- wrenching scream of Kelsey making them both jump up and sprint towards her room. When they reached her room they saw Kelsey alone her room with tear stains underneath her eyes.
"I keep re-living it." She said sobbing
"Call George while I sit with her." Elliot said before getting into Kelsey's bed and wrapping his arms around her in a secure way, "Dad's right here. Go back to sleep. I'll be here when you wake up." He cooed
The next day George and Kelsey talked for hours. George finally diagnosed Kelsey with PTSD and prescribed Anti- Anxiety pills for her.
Cragen excused Olivia and Elliot from work until the case was closed. And tomorrow the trial started…
A/N: Next up the trial and sentencing and an unexpected twist at the end! Love you guys! God Bless!
