Chapter 30-Daddy Gone

A/N: This will be my last chapter to this story. The title kind of says it all so you might want to grab some tissues.

Olivia and Elliot came into the squad room and went to his office. John and Fin were out on a case and Casey and Alex were going to be in court all day.

"Come here babe," Elliot said to Olivia as he sat down.

She sat down on his lap and then they began to make out.

Ring! Ring!

Elliot picked up the phone. "Captain Stabler."

There was silence for a moment and then he heard someone screaming and crying on the other end. "Daddy! Grandpa had a heart attack! Come please! Hurry!" Maureen was hysterical.

"Ok baby! Mom and I are on our way! Where are you sweetie?" Elliot began to cry.

"We are at Bellevue! Please daddy! Come!"

He hung up and looked at Olivia with sad eyes. "Baby what's wrong? Elliot? Please tell me!" She got up and looked at him.

"Baby, daddy had a heart attack," Elliot said wrapping his arms around her as she began to cry. "He is at Bellevue. He'll be ok baby. I promise."

"No!" She screamed as she pulled away from him. She ran out and he ran after her.

They get to the hospital and rush in.

"Don Cregan!" Elliot said to the nurse behind the desk.

"He is in surgery sir. Are you family?" The nurse pulled out a clipboard.

"He is my father-in-law." Elliot nervously tapped on the desk.

"Mommy! Daddy!" Lizzie came running down the hall to them.

"Baby! Hey, what's going on?" Elliot held his daughter.

"Grandpa is having bypass surgery," Kathleen said walking up to them. She handed Junior over to Olivia.

Olivia held Junior tightly. She was crying hard. Holding him in her arms was giving her some comfort.

Elliot took Serena from Dickie and held her close. He hugged Dickie and kissed his forehead.

"What happened to Don?" Fin said as him and John ran up to the group.

"He had a heart attack. He is in surgery and we don't know much more than that," Elliot said going up to them.

Casey and Alex rushed through the ER entrance. They saw the group and ran over to them. "How's Don? Where is he? What happened?" Casey said frantically.

"He had a heart attack and is surgery now. That is all they are telling us." Elliot went over to the women and hugged each of them.

The girls went over to Olivia and hugged her. She never stopped crying.

Alex went over to John and he held her.

Brian ran in and went straight to Casey. "How's Don?" He asked as he held her.

"He is in surgery," she cried into his chest.

They all sat around the waiting room crying and trying to comfort each other.

"Olivia Benson?" A doctor came into the room and walked up to her.

"Yes. How is my father?" She stood up and asked him with panic in her voice.

"He is fine for now. He had a severe heart attack and we had to do emergency surgery. He is weak so I am not sure if he is going to live much longer. I'm so sorry. You may see him though," the doctor said sympathetically.

She broke down on the floor. Elliot caught her in his arms and held her. "Come on baby. Let's go see daddy," Elliot said to her, crying.

The two of them walked into Don's room. Olivia rushed to his side and took his hand. He turned to her and gave her a weak smile. "Hi angel."

"Hi daddy. How are you feeling?"

"Tired."

"I love you daddy."

"I love you too baby girl. Tell the kids I love them too," he said as a tear rolled down his cheek.

"You can come out of this daddy. You are a fighter. I wont have to tell them. You can tell them yourself when you get out of here," she said trying to reassure him and herself.

He looked at her with sad eyes. He squeezed her hand lightly and smiled once more. With that he shut his eyes and went.

Olivia fell to her knees and cried. Elliot knelt down next to her and wept with her.

After a while they walked out and looked at everyone standing around. They all knew as soon as they looked into their eyes. Alex into John's arms and wept. Casey turned to Brian and he wrapped his arms around her. They both cried. Monique had come while Elliot and Olivia were with Don and she was already crying in Fin's arms. Olivia broke down once more in Elliot's arms.
