Chapter 5- Olivia's Nightmare.
Olivia found herself standing in the middle of a grave yard. She was a little unsure on how and why she was there. Her first instinct was to feel her right leg and was surprised to feel nothing. No hole, no bandage. Nothing. She could feel the wind against her skin, as she stood in the open space.
"What the hell is going on?"
Olivia looked around the many gravestones and noticed people standing in the distance. Narrowing her eyes, she saw Elliot standing among the group. Olivia quickly ran to him. Reaching him, she looked around and noticed the other people. Kathy, Fin, Munch, Cragen and Casey all stood by him, all clearly upset. Olivia turned to Elliot and asked, "El. What the hell going on?"
He didn't answer her. He just placed a hand on the woman sitting in front of him. Olivia looked. "Alex?" she whispered as she moved to her wife side. "Sweetie? Alex?" Next to the blonde was Madeline, Emma, Dylan and Jake but no Holly. "Where's Holly?" she asked Alex but the blonde just stared blankly, tears running down her wet cheeks. "Alex, where's Holly?"
"Olivia was a lovely, caring woman that took time to care and protect her family and friends," the father said.
"Was? What do you mean was? I'm right here," Olivia yelled standing up. She looked around and noticed the people face. All sad, all in tears. "What's going on? Where's Holly?" she demanded.
"Her life ended so tragically trying to save her own child who also suffered a sudden death."
Olivia felt her heart drop "What!" she screamed. She looked at Alex. "Alex where is our daughter? What the hell is going on?"
"Now you may say your last goodbyes to Olivia," the father said and started saying a pray. Elliot helped Alex up and handed her a rose and started walking to the wooden coffin.
Olivia moved with her. "Alex, I'm right here. Sweetie, I'm right here. Alex," she sobbed trying to reach out for her but couldn't get through. "No," she cried as she watched as Alex placed the white rose on the wooden box, her hand never rising for it.
"I will always love you Olivia," Alex wept.
Olivia heart was breaking, "I'm right here Alex? Can you hear me?" she asked.
Alex just turned her head and walked over to her mother and sons.
Once people paid their respects, they started to head to their parked cars. Cragen held Alex's arm, leading her back to the car. "I burry my wife, today. My daughter, tomorrow."
Olivia froze in her tracks. 'Holly's dead? No!' Olivia mind screamed. 'My baby is dead.'
"Alex….Al….ALEX!" Olivia screamed so loud her lungs and throat scream in pain. She collapsed to the grass.
Alex gasped and stopped in her track. "Alex, are you alright?" Cragen asked.
"Olivia," Alex whispered placing a hand on her chest.
"What?" Madeline asked who was by her side.
"Olivia."
Olivia's eyes opened and expected to be in the grave yard but found herself in a different location. A place of full bright lights, beeping noises and squeaking wheels. "Olivia, can you hear me? If you can squeeze my hand," a voice echoed in her ears.
Olivia squeezed the person's hand.
"She's awake. Olivia, its Serena. You're in the hospital."
Olivia eyes drooped shut but she opened them again. "Hol….ly?" she asked, her throat dry.
"She's fine, so are you. We removed the bullet from your thigh. You're going to be in a lot of pain for the next few weeks, but your going to be fine."
"Alex?"
Another hand grabbed Olivia's other hand. "I'm right here, honey," she said sadly. Olivia could tell that her wife had been crying.
"We should stop meeting like this honey," Alex said with a short laugh.
"Sorry," Olivia replied as her eyes droop.
"Just relax Olivia, your on some strong pain meds," Serena said looking at the dose that the machine was pumping into Olivia. The detective slowly nodded and drifted back into darkness.
Alex watched Olivia breathe even out. She lean down and kissed Olivia forehead.
"Don't ever, ever do this to me again Olivia," she whispered.
Serena squeezed her friends shoulder then left the room. Alex sat down in the chair by Olivia's bed and that's where she stayed.

4 days later
Olivia sat on the edge of the hospital bed looking blankly at the cane that was leaning against the seat. She jumped when she heard her wife voice. "Are you just going to stare at it or are you going to use it?"
The brunette looked up and saw Alex leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed.
"Hey. You're early," Olivia said grabbing her jacket from the end of the bed.
Alex pointed to her watch, "I'm on time," she replied.
Olivia looked at her watch and noticed the time. "This can't be right, I've been staring at the cane for two hours," she exclaim.
Alex walked over and leant down to kiss Olivia. Olivia places her hand behind Alex's neck and held her there, deepening the kiss. Alex was surprised.
"Whoa there ladies. Can we keep it to a G rated?" a voice came from the hall.
Alex quickly broke the kiss, nearly taking Olivia lip with her. The brunette cursed. The blonde turned to see her friend with a giant smile on her face. "Serena, don't do that," Alex said harshly.
"Well I did knock," Serena said.
"Not loud enough," Olivia replied pressing a finger to her aching lip.
Serena stood next to Alex, "it's not my fault your wife a biter, detective."
Alex turned and punches the smaller blonde in the arm.
Serena yelled in pain. "Thanks a lot Cabot," she said groan while rubbing her arm.
"Serena, can I leave yet?" Olivia asked breaking the death glare between the two blondes.
Serena looked at Olivia and handed her the clipboard she was holding. "Sign here and you're free to go," she said.
"You got a pen?" Olivia asked.
Serena laughed, pulled out a pen from her coat and passed it to the detective. Olivia quickly signed her name on the dotted line. "There, let's go," she said before handing the board back. She slowly stood and groaned at the pain.
Alex grabbed her arm, "You okay?" she asked.
Olivia gritted her teeth and nodded, "I'm fine."
Serena grabbed the cane, "here," she said holding it out. "Use it."
"I don't want to. It makes me feel old," Olivia whined.
"Detective Benson, you were shot in the thigh for god sake. Just use the damn cane or I'm going to rip up this release form," Serena threatened.
Olivia glared at the smaller blonde, "you wouldn't."
"Sweetie, she would. Use the cane, it's only until your leg is better," Alex said.
"Yeah then its back to the stubborn ass you are," Serena added in. Olivia glared as she snatched the cane from Serena.
"I'm out of here," she said and made her way, slowly, out the door. Alex smiled as she grabbed Olivia's packed duffle bag, pain meds and punches of flowers from the family. She kissed her friends cheek.
"Thanks for looking after her," she said.
"It's my job. Some one had to do it, I just had the guts to do it," Serena replied.
Alex smiled then walked out to help Olivia to the car.
------
"Home sweet home," Olivia said as Alex pulled into their drive way.
Olivia opened the door and placed the cane on the ground and slowly swung her legs round. Alex got out of the car and walked around to Olivia's side and helped her out. Once Olivia was on her own two feet, the blonde grabbed the stuff from the trunk.
"Ready?" Alex asked when the got to the porch steps.
Olivia nodded and took the first step. She groans in pain and started to sweat. "Stupid steps," she groaned as she did the second steps.
"You're doing fine sweetie," Alex encouraged.
"My Lord," Madeline said from the front door. She opened the fly screen and stood at the top of the steps.
"Hi Mom," Alex said as she held on to Olivia arm. Olivia also had a tight grip on Alex's arms. "Ready?" she asked Olivia.
"Ready as I'll ever be," Olivia breathed out and took another step. She groaned loudly.
"It looks like I'm just in time," Elliot said from behind them.
Olivia looked over, "hey partner, what you doing here?" she asked.
Elliot smiled. "Come to welcome you back home and to see if you needed anything and it looks like you do," he replied.
"Can you get someone to take these steps out?" Olivia asked.
"I can do something better," Elliot replied.
"What's that?"
Elliot grabbed Olivia cane and took it off her and handed it to Madeline then gently and carefully scooped Olivia up into his arms. He walked up the stairs and into the house.
"Where are the kids?" Olivia asked when she heard quiet.
"Jake and Dylan are at Sam's until 5 and Holly in her room, asleep," Madeline replied.
Olivia nodded.
"Jeeze Benson, how much do you weigh?" Elliot joked.
Olivia hit him. "Lighter than you, that's for sure."
Elliot turned to Alex and Madeline, "where do you want her?"
Olivia hit him again, "I'm still here."
"In the living room is fine, on the sofa," Alex replied.
Elliot nodded and walked into the living room and gently placed Olivia on the sofa. "Thanks El," Olivia said.
"It's okay. You would've done the same for me," Elliot replied.
Olivia laughed. "Yeah right, carry your big butt around. I don't think so. I could do some serious damage," she replied.
"And I just didn't. You're lucky your hurt or I would've hurt you."
Olivia just smiled. "So, how's your temp partner?" she asked.
Elliot laughed, "He's a little wet behind the ears."
Olivia laughed.
Alex and Madeline watched as the partners talked about the detective that was taking Olivia's place while she was off duty.
"I'm going to put this stuff away and check on Holly," Alex said referring to the duffle bag.
"I go put this in water," Madeline replied grabbing the flowers from her daughter's hand.
Alex walked into hers and Olivia's bedroom; she opened the bag and sorted the dirty clothing to the clean. She threw the dirty clothing into the hamper and cleans back in the draws. After throwing the bag back into the cupboard, Alex quietly walked into Holly's room.
The room was dark and Alex could hear a slight snore coming from the girl. Alex crept up and looked down at the sleeping girl. Holly had a thumb in her mouth and her teddy tucked under her chin. She had kicked off the blanket revealing her pink singlet top and matching bottoms. Alex smiled. She gently pulled the blanket and covered the small, fragile body before leaning down and kissing Holly's forehead.
"We love you angel," she whispered before quietly leaving the room.
1 ½ years later – Central Park
"Come on guys, lunch," Kathy Stabler called out from the picnic table.
Elliot, Olivia, Fin and the kids stopped their football match and ran over to the table where Alex, Kathy and Serena had placed the food on. Munch, George and Cragen had cooked the meat.
"This looks great guys," Olivia said as she kissed Alex before grabbing a plate for Holly. The three and a half year old was playing with the Stabler's new member to their family. Elliot Junior or EJ as everyone called him. "Here Holly, come and eat," Olivia said placing the plate on the table Elliot had set up.
Holly and her two brothers sat at the table with Elizabeth and Dickie.
Elliot took his youngest son into his arms and gave the 7month old a kiss on the cheek. "Hey champ, not long now before you can start kicking a ball around with us," he said. EJ just gurgled and clapped his hands making all the adults laugh.
"He did enough kicking while I was pregnant with him," Kathy said as she placed a bottle of milk into EJ mouth then took him for her husband.
"Liv, what about you? Anymore Benson's going to be running around in the future?" Fin asked making Olivia start to choke on her food. Alex smiled and patted her back.
"What?" Olivia asked wiping her eyes.
"How bout it honey? Want to have another baby?" Alex asked smiling.
Olivia looked around and saw everyone looking at her, "I..I don't know," she answered. "Do you?" she asked Alex.
"I could go one more," Alex replied smiling.
"You're serious?"
Alex shrugged her shoulders, "maybe."
Olivia looked around again. In the last 37 years her life has turned around. She has gone from a product of rape, to a police officer, to a detective, to a wife then to a mother. She never in her wildest dreams thought she would get this far. A large loving family that looked out for each other could make any woman happy. It made Alex and Olivia happy. They had each other and they had their kids. No one could wish for a more of a happy ending.
The End.
I like to thank you for all those people who'd review me. You guys are great.
I know, you don't want this to end. I loved writing both Dr. Cabot and Holly, they were fun and exciting and I didn't want them to end. But there is good news there is new stories in the works about AO with their kids.
