Alex woke up and she was told she was dead.

"How can I wake up dead?" Alex questioned.
"Miss Cabot, you will be put into Witness Protection until Zapata and Velez are taken care of." Agent Hammond stated.
"But I have a family. A soon to be wife, what about her?!"
"Alexandra, I am very sorry, but I cannot involve her."
"You stup-" Alex stopped herself knowing that being bitchy an icy to him would not change his mind. "I need to see her at least once before I leave. I love her soo much; she means the world to me. If I cannot see her, I don't care what Zapata or Velez do to me."

"I know that I am going to regret this, but I will allow you to see her Miss Cabot."

Back at the station Olivia and Elliot were given the note on where to meet Agent Hammond to close out the investigation.

There were cop cars and one black SVU. When the door opened, a United States Marshal stepped out; behind him was the beautiful, blonde woman that Olivia loved.

"Witness protection…" Elliot mentioned

"Until Velez is extradited or otherwise dealt with." Alex replied.

"How long?" Olivia asked her lover as tears filled both women's eyes.

Alex only shrugged her shoulders and they were told Alex had to go.

On the ride back, Olivia was silent. She didn't know what to do, what to say, what to think. The last time Olivia and Alex were alone together, they were fighting. Olivia had walked out on Alex and now Alex was gone. Olivia blamed herself.

Months had passed and Olivia had not been the same. She was still blaming herself for what had happened to Alex. Olivia had carried the burden of letting Alex just leave without making her stay. It was for Alex's own good, but Olivia couldn't stop being selfish. She wanted Alex back in her life and she didn't care what it took to get her back.

Alex was now known as Emily, a claims adjuster. She hated it! The job was boring, she was seeing someone, but it wasn't the same. He wasn't Olivia.

"Hey Emily, sweetheart, I thought I would stop by and bring you dinner. You left the office in a hurry." Luis said.

"Thanks, but I am not hungry."

"You have to eat though. What has you on edge today? You can tell me."

It was supposed to be the date of Alex and Olivia's wedding, but Emily couldn't tell Luis that.

"Nothing. I just have a lot on my mind that I do not wish to communicate about tonight. I think you should go."

Luis kissed Emily on the cheek and left. A few minutes later, Alex picked up a prepaid cell phone that she failed to mention to anyone that she had bought and dialed a familiar number to her, Olivia's. She knew she was breaking the rules, but she didn't care, she needed her and she needed her now.

"Detective Benson."

"Olivia! I love you."

"Alex?!? What the…" Olivia broke into tears.

"Call me Emily that is my name."

"Liv, I need to be with you. I cannot go on any longer. We were supposed to be married today. I hope you still love me."

"I do love you."

At that moment, Alex and Olivia knew they would be back together again.

"Al, I mean Emily, I am sorry for yelling at you."

"No, Liv I am the one who is sorry. I should have just believed you. I love you, but I have to go, don't say a word to anyone and don't call this number, I will be in touch."

"I love you too babe…"
