The next morning, the two men woke with smiles on their faces. Elliot leant across and kissed his fiancé, as he placed a hand on George's stomach. They got up and got ready for their day. They left the flat and walked towards their cars. Once they were outside, George stopped.

"What's wrong?" Elliot asked.

"I've left my walled in the flat," George replied.

"Do you want me to wait for you?"

"No, it's okay," George said. "You go ahead. I'll be right behind you."

"Okay," Elliot said, before giving George a kiss. "I love you." He smiled and placed a hand on George's stomach. "Both of you."

George smiled back. "We love you, too."

Elliot got into his car and drove away as George turned and walked back to the flat. 20 minutes later, George left the flat again, his wallet safely in his pocket. He reached his car and took out his keys. Suddenly he was grabbed from behind.

"I've finally found you," a familiar voice said, before everything went black.

An hour later, Elliot was sat at his desk in the 16th Precinct trying to complete his paperwork as he began to worry about the whereabouts of his fiancé. He took out his cell phone and tried to ring his lover. He ended to call as soon as George's voicemail sounded, just as his cop partner walked in.

"Hey Elliot," Detective Olivia Benson greeted. "Is Huang in yet?"

He placed his cell on his desk and replied with, "No, not yet," before turning back to his paperwork.

30 minutes later, Elliot's cell rang just as Captain Donald Cragen came out of his office, looking grim.

"Stabler," Elliot answered, into his cell. He listened carefully, his face becoming paler and paler. "I'm on my way," he said, before ending the call, grabbing his jacket and running out of the precinct without a word.

"Elliot!" Olivia called after him. She turned to her colleagues and asked, "Where's he rushing off to?"

"No idea," Detective John Munch answered, before turning to their boss. "Something wrong, Captain?"

"I've just had the feds on the phone," he told them. "Doctor Huang won't be coming in."

"Why not?" Detective Odafin Tutuola asked.

"He was found unconscious by a passer-by," Cragen answered. "He's been taken to Bellevue." He turned to Olivia. "I want you and Elliot, if you can find him, to go to the hospital and speak to Huang."

"Sure," Olivia replied as she grabbed her jacket and left the precinct, taking out her cell and trying to ring Elliot.

As soon as he reached the hospital, Elliot raced through the entrance towards the reception desk.

"I'm looking for George Huang," Elliot said to the receptionist.

"Are you a relative?" the receptionist asked.

"He's my fiancé."

The receptionist turned to her computer. Once she found the relevant information, she turned back to Elliot and said, "Doctor Huang is currently being treated in the ICU."

"ICU?" Elliot asked with fear on his voice.

"I'll contact Doctor Edwards, and he can explain everything to you," she said, before picking up the phone.

As he waited, Olivia came through the entrance and saw him.

"Elliot, what are you doing here?" she asked as she walked over to him.

"I got a call about Huang," he replied.

"Why did they call you?"

"Huang told me he put my name down as next of kin, as he doesn't have any family in the area."

Olivia looked at him suspiciously, and was about to reply when the doctor came over to them. "My name is Doctor Edwards," he said. "You're here about Doctor Huang?"

"Yes," Olivia answered. "I'm Detective Benson," she took out her badge, "and this Detective Stabler. We've been asked to investigate the assault on Doctor Huang."

"Well," Doctor Edwards began, "Doctor Huang was found unconscious behind his apartment block. He has several broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder, as well as a severe head injury." Elliot's face paled even more as he took in the information. Doctor Edwards paused for a second before asking, "You work with Doctor Huang?" The two detectives nodded. "Did either of you know that he's 8 weeks pregnant?"

Olivia gasped. "No. We didn't."

Elliot tried to remain calm and professional in front of his partner as he asked, "Is the baby okay?"

"The baby will be fine, provided Doctor Huang wakes within the next few hours." The doctor took a breath. "Also, there are signs of a sexual assault."

"Will he be okay?" Olivia asked.

"He is stable. We have sedated him to allow his head injury to heal without pain," the doctor told them. "We will be taking him off the sedation in the next few hours, once we are sure the injury has healed enough."

"Can we see him?" Elliot asked.

"Of course," the doctor said, as he led them towards ICU.

Once there, Doctor Edwards left them alone as they entered the room. Olivia stood in shock for a moment, before regaining her professional composure and walking towards the side of the bed. She found George's personal items and began to look through them for signs of anything unusual, before turning back to Elliot, and seeing that he hadn't moved from his place by the door, as he continued to stare at the unconscious doctor.

"Elliot?" Olivia asked in concern. "Are you okay?"

Elliot looked away from the unconscious form of his pregnant lover and turned to his friend.

"Um, yeah," he answered, with a slight shake in his voice. "Why don't you take his stuff back to the precinct? There's more room to look through them than in here."

Olivia looked at him in surprise before saying, "Okay." She put the items back into the bag and walked towards the door before stopping. "Are you coming?" she asked.

"I'll follow you in a bit," Elliot said. "I'm just gonna talk to the doctor again."

"Okay. I'll see you in a bit," and with that, she left.

When Elliot was sure she was gone, he quickly walked to his fiancé's side and took George's hand in his. He kissed George's temple, sat in the chair next to the bed, and placed his other hand on top of George's stomach. He leant as close as he could and began to whisper into George's ear.

"Please don't leave me," he begged. "I love you so much. I love our baby so much. Baby needs you to be strong. I need you to be strong. I couldn't bear it if I lost either of you. I promise you, I'm gonna do whatever it takes to find the bastard responsible for hurting you, and I'll make sure he pays for hurting my family." He stood from the chair, kissed George's temple once again, and gently stroked his fiancé's stomach as he whispered, "I love you. Both of you," before turning and leaving the room.
