Please don't be mad! I promise certain things you guys are hoping for do happen! (Eventually.) Again, thank you for reviewing! Here's another chapter!
"Hello?" Olivia shouted out into the darkness that had now fallen over Manhattan.
"Help me!" she heard again.
"David call 911," Olivia instructed as she took off to find where the voice was coming from.
David did as he was told making sure to stay close behind Olivia on her rampage throughout the park. Her determination impressing him every step of the way. Finally Olivia had found where the cry was coming. Behind a bush off the path was a young girl laying there. She had lacerations all over her body.
"Hi," Olivia said as she crouched down to her level, "I'm Detective Benson. I'm going to help you okay?"
"Olivia..." the voice whispered.
Olivia thought for a moment how the girl knew her name. Her face had been beaten so badly she couldn't recognize the young lady. Then she looked to the right and found a purse. She looked for a wallet with an I.D.
"Lizzie!" Olivia yelled, "Lizzie, it's okay. It's going to be okay just hang on. I'm going to get you help."
"My baby..."
"I know Lizzie," Olivia said, "The ambulance is on their way."
Olivia turned around to look at David who had just gotten off the phone with 911. He could see that she was on the verge of tears and he wished he could scoop her up in his arms and never let go. It felt like hours had gone by before the ambulance had finally arrived but in reality it was only ten minutes.
"Olivia please stay with me," Lizzie begged as she was loaded onto the stretcher.
"I will sweetie," Olivia said, "I'm going to ride with you."
She turned to David and hoped he would understand, "David, I'm sorry. I can't leave-"
"Go," David said, "That girl needs you. I'll see you when yo u get home." He then gave her one last kiss to end their romantic date.
Olivia climbed into the back of the ambulance with Lizzie and the driver drove off.
"Lizzie," Olivia said grabbing her hand, "Can you tell me what happened?"
"I was walking through the park with Patrick," she said taking in deep labored breaths, "I told him I was pregnant."
"Lizzie," Olivia said, "Is Patrick your boyfriend?"
Lizzie nodded her head as the tears began to spill out of her eyes again, "I didn't know that he was going to do that."
"It's not your fault Lizzie."
"Can you call my Dad?"
"I'll call him as soon as we get to the hospital," Olivia replied.

Olivia stepped outside of Lizzie's room while the doctors were bandaging her up and giving her a few stitches. She decided that know was as better time than ever to call Elliot. She took out her phone and pressed 1 on her speed dial.
"Olivia?" Elliot asked obviously having looked at his caller I.D.
"Elliot," Olivia said quickly, "Lizzie's in the hospital. She asked me to call you."
"What? What happened? Is she okay?"
"She's at Mercy Hospital," Olivia said without answering his questions and then she hung up the phone. Now wasn't a good time for Elliot to try and make nice when his daughter was in the hospital. He would be doing it for the wrong reasons anyways.
Olivia sat her back against the wall and slouched down until she was on the ground. She felt so bad for Lizzie. She also felt bad for herself. She started hating herself for being selfish and being mad that her night with David was ruined. She hated herself that she hadn't been able to help Lizzie sooner. Maybe if Olivia would have went with her that day instead of waiting for her own selfish reasons...
"Detective Benson," Dr. Broshears interrupted her thoughts, "You can go back in now."
"Doctor is her baby going to be okay?"
"I called for an OB/GYN to come and do an ultrasound but the only OB we have is on call right now so there is no telling when she will get here," Dr. Broshears answered honestly.
"Thanks," Olivia said as she opened the door to Lizzie's room.
"Olivia," Lizzie cried, "I'm scared."
"Oh sweetie," Olivia said as she walked over to hold her hand, "You're going to be okay. He's not going to get away with this. I called your parents and they are going to be here soon."
"Thanks Olivia. I'm thankful that you were the one who found me."
"Why don't you rest up before your parents get here okay?" Olivia talked as she made sure Lizzie was comfortable enough to lay down.

While Lizzie was sleeping Olivia was sitting just outside her door as she promised drinking a bottle of water. Her thoughts inside her head were all jumbled up as she thought about her night. Her romantic dinner date with David and the surprise limo ride. Then the walk through Central Park where she found Lizzie on the ground.
"Olivia!" she heard a familiar voice yell. It was Kathy.
"Kathy," Olivia breathed as she stood up off the floor.
"What happened? Is she okay?" Kathy looked like she had just crawled straight out of bed and threw on some clothes in the dark. Her hair was a mess and her pajama pants were plaid. She was wearing a pink shirt with hearts on it that looked like it could have been one of her kids.
"She's just resting up. I think she should tell you what happened."
Kathy nodded her hand as she tried to peek in the window to get a glimpse of Lizzie but the curtains were closed.
"Elliot should be up soon, he's parking the car," Kathy finished as she stepped into the room.
It had only been a few minutes since Kathy had went into the room with Lizzie and Elliot started appearing in the distance. Olivia could tell that he had tears in his eyes. He had been crying.
"Liv..." Elliot said as he approached her.
"Uh, Kathy's in there talking to her but I think Lizzie wants to wait until you are both in their to tell you what happened."
"I'll go in there in a second," Elliot said, "Right now...right now I need a hug."
Elliot threw his arms out and wrapped them around Olivia. She didn't resist. She could smell is cologne. The cologne that had always filled the locker rooms at the precinct before he quit. It was like he had never left at all. Like it was just another day and just another victim, except this time it wasn't.
"You should see your daughter."
Elliot let go of the embrace and took a breath before he opened the door and went inside to join Kathy and Lizzie. Olivia was left standing outside the door by herself picturing in her mind what they looked like. Kathy and Elliot huddled around Lizzie talking about what had happened. She was left standing in the hallway wanting to have kids. She used to want Elliot to be the father of her kids but then he left and she met David. She was sure now that she wanted David to be the father of her kids.
