Elliot got up a short time later to fix them some lunch. Olivia was still napping. He made some chicken soup and a couple of grilled cheese. He set their lunch on the tray and carried to the bedroom. He opened the door and found the bed empty. He set the tray on the nightstand and looked around the room. He noticed the bathroom door open. He went in a saw Olivia sitting on the floor next to the toilet. She leaned over the toilet again and vomited. Elliot went over and held her hair up and rubbed her back. When she finished, he wet a washcloth and handed it to her. She wiped her mouth and flushed the toilet.

"I made lunch."

"I'm not hungry."

"I figured as much after that. Do you want some crackers?"

"No, El, I just want to sleep."

"Liv, you can't hide forever in bed."

"I'm not. I'm just so tired."

"Maybe you need to go get checked out again."

"No, no hospitals. I'm done with them. I'll be fine."

"Liv, please. Let me take you to make sure everything is okay."

"El, I want to sleep. I'm fine."

"Alright, but promise me that when you wake up we'll go to the hospital to get you checked out?"

"El…"

"It'll make me feel better. Liv, please."

"Fine."

"Thank you. Now, let's get you to bed."

"Trying to take advantage of me already, Stabler."

"Never."

He smiled and they went back into the room. He pulled the comforter back and let her crawl into the bed. He covered her and kissed her forehead.

"Stay, please."

Elliot climbed into the bed with her and wrapped his arms around her. She sighed contentedly. It wasn't long before her breathing evened out and he knew she was asleep again. He got up and kissed her forehead again and took the now cold lunch into the kitchen to clean up. While he was loading the last of the dishes into the dishwasher, he heard struggling in the next room. He turned the water off and raced in the room to see Olivia thrashing around in bed. He touched her arm gently.

"Liv, baby, wake up. It's just a nightmare, baby. Come back to me."

Olivia quit thrashing and settled down. She moved her arms to her side and slowly opened her eyes. Elliot saw the fear in them. He leaned over.

"Baby, are you okay?"

She leaned up and wrapped her arms around him and began to sob. The nightmare had gotten to her. He soothed her by rubbing her back gently. Her sobbing became sniffles and she leaned against him.

"He almost had me this time. He was so…so close."

"Shh, baby, it's okay. It's okay. I'm here, you're safe."

Olivia sniffled and sat up. She ran a hand through her hair before another wave of nausea came over her. She ran to the bathroom and tried to vomit again, but there was nothing left in her system to throw up. Elliot was right by her side.

"I wonder why you're throwing up so much. Please let me take you to the hospital or something."

"No, El, I'm fine. It's just stress."

"I don't think it's just stress. It could be more than that. I just want to be sure. Please? For me?"

Olivia weighed the question and finally gave in.

"Okay, go ahead and take another shower and get cleaned up then we'll go, okay?"

"Okay."

He helped her to her feet and kissed her forehead. He walked in the other room and continued cleaning up. Olivia got into the shower and cleaned herself. Once she was dressed in another of Elliot's sweatshirts and a pair of yoga pants, they left for Mercy General.

They got to Mercy and as they were walking in Olivia fainted. Elliot caught her and lifted her into his arms, carrying her the rest of the way into the ER.

"Help! I need help in here!"

A team of nurses and doctors came rushing over with a gurney and Elliot laid her on it. They rushed her in the back and Elliot was forced to wait in the waiting area. He called Fin, Munch, and Cragen. They were there in a short time.

"What happened?" Munch asked

"She fainted on our way in."

"On your way in? Was something wrong?" Cragen asked.

"Baby girl okay?" Fin asked.

"I don't know yet. They just took her back. She wasn't responding."

"She'll be fine," Fin said.

"I hope so. She'd been throwing up all morning and napping in between when I finally convinced her to come here. When we were walking in, she just passed out."

Just then they heard yelling in the back and a crashing sound. One of the nurses came out calling for security.

"No! Don't! Elliot!"

Elliot ran to the voice, knowing it was Olivia screaming for him. The nurse and doctor tried holding him back.

"Let him go!" Munch, Fin, and Cragen screamed at the nurse and doctor.

They let him by and he got to Olivia's side. He took her hands and she went to strike at him before she realized who it was and threw her arms around him.

"Where were you? What happened?"

"I'm so sorry baby. They wouldn't let me back here with you."

"I woke up and there were strange people leaning over me and I freaked. I'm sorry."

"No, no, no, baby, it's okay. It's okay."

He hugged her to him and kissed her head.

"Am I okay?"

"I don't know. You fainted and that's why they took you back without me. They're just going to run some test to see why you've been throwing up and fainted, okay? Can you let them do that?"

"Yeah, but I want you with me. Stay with me."

"I won't leave baby. You can come in now."

The nurse and doctor came in followed by the boys. Olivia's face brightened a bit at seeing them there.

"Hey, baby girl, how are you?" Fin asked.

"It's day by day. Thanks for coming. It means a lot."

"Always, Liv," Munch said.

"Anytime," Cragen, "Let's get out of here so that she can be seen."

"Bye, Liv," Munch said.

"Bye," Fin said as he grasped her hand gently.

"Take care. Call us if you need anything," Cragen said as he walked out.

The nurse and doctor walked towards the bed and Olivia tensed up.

"Baby, it's okay. They're here to help."

Olivia relaxed and they drew blood to run for testing and then put a rush on it. They discharged her saying for her to get some rest and that results should be in by tomorrow.

"Are you hungry?"

Olivia nodded her head.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Thai and Chinese."

"Both of them?"

"Yeah, I kind of am craving both."

"Okay."

They headed back to her apartment and ordered dinner. They ate and since Olivia was tired again, they headed to bed.

Olivia woke up to her phone ringing. She answered it.

"Hello?"

"Ms. Olivia Benson?"

"Yes?"

"Hi, I'm Karen Souther with Mercy General. We've just got your test results in and congratulations, you're pregnant!"

Olivia dropped the phone.

"Hello? Ms. Benson? Hello?"

The technician kept trying to call Olivia and this is what woke Elliot up. He looked over at Olivia who was frozen with her mouth open. He picked up the phone.

"Hello, who is this?"

"I'm Karen Souther with Mercy General."

"What did you do to my girlfriend?"

"I told her about the test results, but I'm not allowed to give that information to anyone other than Ms. Benson."

"She's my girlfriend! Tell me anyway!"

"I can't, sir. HIPPA laws prevent it."

Olivia snapped out of her trance and took the phone from him.

"Thank you for calling."

She hung up and looked at Elliot.

"What's going on?"

"El, I'm, uh, I'm pregnant."

Elliot's eyes went wide.

AN: Sorry, I'm still moving and I still don't have internet. I hope you enjoy it!
