AN: You guys wanted updates, I know! I left you at a pretty sad place! (: So here you go...

"Liv, please don't do it," Elliot said.

Olivia couldn't really hear him very well. She was concentrating on the trigger. It felt really hot. It needed to be pulled. It was wet from her sweaty index finger. That trigger needed to be pulled. Her finger trembled.

"Don't!" Elliot yelled.

Olivia was yanked from her thoughts at the sound of his voice again. She finally looked at him. He had a sad look of desperation etched on his handsome face. She felt sorry for what she was about to do. She really did. But she had to do it...right? Yes. Rob had violated her, and he had raped and killed Glori.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, so quietly that the only way Elliot could tell what she was saying was by reading her lips.

"No! Wait, just wait a minute, Olivia. Just wait a minute," he said quietly, desperately.

Olivia took her finger off the trigger, just barely. She looked back at Rob, who was silently weeping.

"Listen to me. If you shoot him, you go to jail. If you go to jail, you don't work with me anymore. If you don't work with me anymore, my life's hell," Elliot explained.

Olivia glanced at Elliot quickly but then looked back at Rob. "I'm sorry," she said, louder this time.

"Do you know why my life will be hell if you don't work with me anymore?" Elliot asked.

Olivia didn't answer.

"Because I love you. You can't leave me. And if you pull that trigger, you will leave me. I don't want that to happen, Liv, because I'm in love with you," he confessed desperately. It was the complete truth. He was in love with her, one-hundred percent. But he'd never had the courage to tell her until now, when she was about to ruin her life.

For the first time that night, her full attention was on Elliot. She stared at him in shock, another tear escaping her eye and sprinkling onto her smooth cheek. She opened her mouth, but didn't speak for a minute.

"Really?" she asked quietly.

"Yes, yes, really," Elliot huffed.

Olivia stared at him for another minute, and then looked back at Rob. Anger instantly formed on her face once again. But then she looked back at Elliot. The thing she did next startled Elliot, but also flushed relief throughout his body. She took the gun away from Rob's head, but kept a him in a good grip by holding his arm, and threw the gun to the side. She blinked a few times, and then closed her eyes for a minute and looked down. When she looked back up, she was Olivia Benson again, the Olivia Benson that Elliot loved. She breathed out loudly, and then got behind Rob.

"This," she started, kicking him really hard in the ass, "Is for what you did to me." Then she yanked his arm and turned him around to face her. "And this," she said, kicking him about a million times harder in the balls, "Is for what you did to Glori."

Rob keeled over, holding his manhood. Elliot ran over to them, feeling more relieved than he had in his whole life, and grabbed Rob.

"You okay?" he asked Olivia.

Olivia looked away. "Ah...No," she replied walking over to a tree and throwing up.

While she was gone, Elliot decided to try to negotiate with Rob.

"Okay, listen to me. You better not tell anybody what happened to tonight. Ever. Do you understand me?" Elliot asked.

"Why shouldn't I? She deserves to be locked up too! She held a gun to my head-"

"And didn't pull the trigger," Elliot interrupted. "She won't get any time for that anyway because she's a cop. You just keep your mouth shut, or else you get another kick in the balls," he said. "From me. Which means it'll feel a whole lot worse than what she just did," he added.

Rob looked up in fear. "Whatever. She wouldn't get any time anyway, so I don't see the point in getting another kick just to get her suspended for a couple days."

Elliot knew that in actuality, Olivia would be in prison for awhile if anybody found out about what happened, whether she was a cop or not. But Rob was too stupid and knew too little about the law to understand that, so Elliot was pretty certain that he had Rob's trap shut.

Olivia finally showed up beside Elliot as he called Cragen and got a police car to pick up Rob.

When Cragen got there and took Rob away, he congratulated them both on a job well done and sent them home. They hailed a taxi and got inside, not saying a word.

Everything was silent for a while, but Olivia eventually had to talk. "Elliot, I appreciate you saying what you said either way, but I need to know...were you telling the truth, or were you just saying that to make me stop? Either way, you saved my ass, so please just tell me the truth," she said, looking him in the eyes.

He stared at her for a long time, and then dropped his eyes. Part of him wanted to take it back, to return to professionalism, but he also wanted to know if she felt the same way.

"I meant it. Every word was true."

Olivia stared at him for a minute, and then became embarrassed. She dropped her head and looked at her lap, her hair falling in front of her face so she was no longer visible to Elliot. She lifted her head up and looked out the window. She didn't want to look at him when she made her ultimate confession.

"I love you too," she said.

Elliot smiled, not knowing what to say. They were silent the rest of the way to Olivia's apartment. Things were perfect.

AN: All right, so I know that this is a kind of short chapter, but I thought it was a pretty good stopping point. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue; I really like how this chapter ended so I kind of want to leave it here. But you guys PLEASE REVIEW and tell me if you liked it, and if I should write more or if I should leave it here. Thanks for reading! ~Allison~
