"Ummm" sputtered Olivia.
"Olivia!" came a voice from down the hall. Both Olivia and Kyra turned to see Dr. Wheeler coming from the direction of her office.
Kyra stuck out her hand, "Detective Johnson, Dr. Wheeler, were you Leah Devalos's doctor?"
"How about you come into my office." She said, taking Olivia by the arm and showing them into the small but nice office. After shutting the door she motioned for the two detectives to take a seat. She sat down across the desk from them.
"Leah was in large predicament for someone her age. I was prepared to help her. She wanted and was prepared to have an abortion. Truthfully, the girl was frightened to death. I should have called her parents, but yet there is well was Doctor/patient confidentiality in the way of calling. She needed to tell them herself." Dr. Wheeler sighed and turned in her chair to look through a filing cabinet. Olivia and Kyra exchanged a glance.
Olivia sat up in her chair, "Do you know if she told anyone about wanting an abortion or even the baby itself?"
"No, ah, here it is, well, she was only here once. She was a very shy little girl." Said Dr. Wheeler as she looked at the file.
Olivia walked into her apartment after the long and stressful day. The phone rang, she checked the caller ID, it was the doctor from earlier, Wheeler, Julianne . Olivia answered the phone,
"Hello? Ms. Olivia Benson?" came the friendly voice of the doctor.
'Dr. Wheeler, what can I help you with?"
"I know doctor's really do not make house calls anymore but I wanted to ask you some questions." Olivia consented. "Are you sure about the abortion, Olivia?" she asked, with concern in her voice.
"Yes, I'm sure," she responded, "I know a child in my life would cause me to ruin it's life forever."
"I'm sorry to hear that, but it is your decision."
"Yes it is," said Olivia softly.
"Well, alright, I will let you go now, I'll see you Friday for the appointment."
"Alright, have a nice night." Olivia pressed the talk button on the phone and collapsed on the couch and cried. She wiped away her tears and began to raid the kitchen for something to eat. She pulled out some leftover Chinese from the refrigerator and heated it up in the microwave. She sat down on the couch and ate her food while watching the evening news; she fell asleep shortly after.
The next morning, Olivia woke on the couch and proceeded to her daily ritual now a-days, showering, throwing up, getting dressed, dry heaving, drinking some green tea and eating a few saltines. Olivia then to head to the station; once there her and Kyra drove to Leah's best friend's house. They got out of the car and walked along the sidewalk to the friend's house. They were hoping to get some information on who Kathryn may have been seeing or even told about getting an abortion. Olivia was feeling a little queasy, again but ignored the rumbling in her stomach as hunger; she should have really eaten some more crackers this morning. Just as Kyra and Olivia were about to turn up the front steps of the small home, Olivia leaned over the fence and threw up in the garbage can that was sitting by the curb. She fell to her knees and while Kyra ran to her side. Olivia then stood and continued throwing up into the garbage can. Kyra grabbed a hanky from her giant purse and handed it to Olivia. Olivia wiped her tears away, then realizing just how lonely she was without him.
"Olivia? Are you alright?" Kyra asked while placing her hand on Olivia's shoulder.
She opened her eyes and smiled. "I think I'll be Ok." She declared as she managed to lean over and threw up again. "I need to go home," she murmured.
"Surely," responded Kyra.
Olivia still felt that she had a job to do so she managed to convince Kyra to do this one interview and then she would go home.
'This will all be over tomorrow,' she thought. Olivia managed to make it through the interview feeling somewhat ok, then Kyra insisted on driving her home, Kyra also called the Captain to tell him that Olivia was still sick and that she was driving her home.
Once Olivia gave Kyra direction to her apartment building, she decided to zone out for the rest of the drive. It took a good 20 minutes to make it home, Kyra waited until Olivia was well into the building then took off to the station to rethink the case at hand. Once Olivia was home and settled in she became very bored, since the nauseousness went away on the drive to her apartment. She decided to take a nap but it turned out to last all night.
