Chapter 9: Wanna See Something Cool?

Disclaimer: I do not own.

A/N: This is the last chapter. All questions will finally be answered. Well, most anyway. I hope you have had fun cause I most certainly have. So with much sadness I give you… the final chapter. And because it's the last chapter in the story I want to dedicate it to my wonderful English teacher. She really is inspiring!

Elliot heard the gunshot. He heard the screams and Munch's voice shouting.

"Elliot! Elliot, quick!" Elliot turned and ran back into the precinct. Just inside the door he slipped on something wet. He regained his balance and saw that he had slipped in a pool of blood. Richard White's blood. There was a bullet in his skull. Elliot breathed a sigh of relief; Olivia hadn't been shot.

"Elliot, over here!" Munch shouted again. Elliot's heart stopped. Olivia was on the ground, blood pooling under her.

"No!" He shouted running to her. "No, no, no! OLIVIA!" he looked at Munch, eyes blurring with tears. "Did you call for a bus?"

"Yeah, just now. Elliot I'm sorry, I shot him, but she was already on the ground." Munch shifted uncomfortably.

"Thank you." Was all Elliot said. He looked at Olivia. Her face was screwed up in pain but he knew she couldn't feel it. She was unconscious.

Elliot was pacing in the waiting room. Olivia had been in surgery for four hours. Munch and Fin had left about an hour ago and the Captain was still dealing with IAB.

"Is there an Elliot Stabler here?" Elliot stopped pacing when he heard his name. He looked up at the doctor who had called him.

"I'm Stabler." Elliot walked over to meet the doctor.

"Olivia Benson is awake, but she won't take any medications until she sees you."

"What room?" he asked

"314!" But Elliot was already running down the hall. He stopped, wondering which way to go when he heard a very familiar voice.

"No, leave me alone! Where's Elliot? I already told you, I'm not taking anything until I see him. No, now! Do I look like I care if you have a medical degree and I don't? No, get off me! Liv was in attitude mode…big time. Elliot strode into the room to see Olivia fending off two nurses who were trying to put something in her IV.

"Miss Benson, please!" one of the nurses pleaded.

"No. Get away from me." She looked up and smiled. "Elliot!" She stopped fighting the nurses and held her arms out. Elliot walked into them and hugged her.

"Jesus Liv. You scared us half to death." He whispered into her hair.

"So you're not mad?"

"At you? Never." She pulled back and smiled. She opened her mouth to reply but grimaced instead.

"Ow." She frowned at the nurse who had just put the medication into the IV. The nurse just smiled. When the nurses left Elliot sat in a chair and watched Olivia try to fight the drowsiness that the medicine was making her feel.

"Hey Liv?"

"Hmm?" her voice was heavy with sleep.

"I Love You." Her eyes snapped open.

"Elliot…" her voice trailed.

"Yeah?" he had not been expecting an answer of any kind.

"Kathy." Olivia said flatly.

"Actually, she's been cheating on me for a few months now. We're getting a divorce." He smiled at her. She glanced at him and blushed.

"Hey Elliot?"

"Mmm?"

"I Love You More." She looked at him again. Then she was asleep. Elliot stroked her hand. She would make a full recovery. She had to. He looked down at her sleeping face and frowned worriedly.

It had been two weeks since the incident at the precinct.

"I'm back!" Olivia called when she walked into the squad room. Elliot hadn't seen her since that day in the hospital. She walked over to Munch and Fin.

"You guys wanna see something cool? They looked at each other and shrugged.

"I'm cool with that." Fin said.

"Yeah, cool with that" Munch said sarcastically. Olivia smiled and without turning around called to Elliot.

"Hey Stabler! Come here a minute." Elliot looked from Munch to Fin before standing up and walking towards them. He stopped behind Olivia.

"What's up?" he asked. Olivia turned and looked at him for a moment then, stepping forward, she kissed him. He returned her kiss, happy, if not a little surprised. She finally pulled away and looked at Munch and Fin over her shoulder. They broke into applause.

"About damn time, you two!" a rookie called.

Cragen stepped out of his office. "Yes, it's about damn time, you two." He said, grinning. Olivia turned back to Elliot.

"I Love You." She whispered and buried her face in his shirt.

"You too, Liv. More than you will ever know." He said smoothing her hair.

No matter what happened next he knew that they had the support of their friends.
