Title: Still Breathing, Chapter 2

Warnings: Teen Pregnancy, Teen Sex

Disclaimer: If I owned SVU would I be writing fan fiction? You're right, I probably still would be.

Summary: When a fifteen year old Lizzie Stabler realizes that she's pregnant, she turns to Olivia for help. When Elliot finds out that she's pregnant, things don't go well.

Note: Kathy is gone. I don't care what she's doing, because it doesn't really matter. Eli doesn't exist. Maureen and Kathleen are both are college at NYU. Elliot has full custody of twins Dickie and Lizzie, and they live Elliot's apartment. Set in no specific season. Oh, and Casey is the ADA in this, not Alex.

So sorry about the lack of updates. I've been really busy and have been away for awhile and have been going through things lately. I am (again) excited again for this story. I have no idea if I mentioned this in the previous chapter, but the title Still Breathing is based off the song by Allison Iraheta. So the title ain't mine either. Anyways, here is the delayed second chapter of STILL BREATHING.

And I made a mistake in the previous chapter. It's not July yet. It's only June. Typo. My bad. It's changed in this chapter.

"Okay," she sighed, bracing herself for what she was about to say. "I think I might be… pregnant," Lizzie said, looking down at the ground.

"Lizzie…" Olivia whispered, not even knowing what to say. Her partners fifteen year old daughter just told her that she might be… pregnant.

She sighed. "I know, I know. I shouldn't be having sex at this age; I should have used protection, blah blah blah. It was a mistake. I don't even know the guy. It was at some stupid party."

"Slow down Lizzie. While all of those things are true, we cant go back in time. What's done is done. Now… have you even taken a test?"

"Well… no," the teen admitted. "But I'm two weeks late."

"Okay, so let's go back to my apartment. We can stop at the store on the way there and get a test. Then you can explain this whole… situation to me."

"Okay. And thanks Liv. For not freaking out and everything."

"No problem Lizzie. But you have a long road ahead of you if you're pregnant."

"So start from the beginning," I said to Lizzie as we headed to my apartment.

"Well about 5 weeks ago, Dickie and I went to this big party at this guy Josh's house. You and dad were working late so he didn't exactly know that we were there. And you can't tell him that Dickie and I were at that party. Dickie would KILL me if he knew that I even told you," she said.

"I think that the fact that you two snuck out and went to a party when me and your dad were working is the least of your worries right now. Your father isn't going to care about some party when he finds out about the big picture here." I said.

"But he isn't going to find out," she said.

"Lizzie, there's a good chance that you're pregnant. You can't keep this from him forever. A pregnancy lasts nine months, you know. You're going to grow and he's going to find out."

It wasn't easy being this calm about all of this. Inside, I was freaking out completely. If Lizzie was indeed pregnant, then her entire future would change. Completely. But I knew that I had to stay calm for her.

"Well at the party, this guy Brian started to flirt with me or something. I don't know. He doesn't live here. He was visiting his cousin's. After a while, we started to make out. And well, things went from there. And here I am today," she explained to me.

This seemed like a legitimate story. Then again, I had no reason to believe that she was lying in the first place.

"Have you ever met this Brian kid before?" I asked Lizzie.

"No. Like I told you, he's from out of town and was just here for a week or so visiting his cousins."

"Right. Do you know what his last name is? Maybe I can track him down."

"I don't know what it is. I never met him before. And what's with all these questions? Do you not believe me or something?" Lizzie exclaimed.

"No, no. I do believe you, Lizzie. I'm just trying to figure out what happened that night. That's all."

"Sorry," she apologized. "But I don't really want him knowing about this all. I don't want anyone knowing about this,"

I sighed. She wanted to keep this a secret forever, but that wasn't possible.

The two of us reached the store, and I parked the car.

"Come on," I said. "Let's go get a test."
