A/N: I have a feeling you are all going to kill me after you finish reading this chapter. Please don't. Next chapter is already in the works, I'll try to get it up as soon as I can.


It had been an hour since Olivia ran to the store to pick up candles. Elliot was worried because it never took her that long to get something and because he knew how mad she was at herself for forgetting them. It was a simple mistake, he didn't want her to beat herself up over it. He told her that they could just use normal candles but she wanted them to have the number one candles.

A few minutes later there was a knock on the door. He didn't know why she was knocking maybe she forgot her house key. He knew the answer when he opened the door and she wasn't on the other side but two officers were. Something had happened, something bad. He didn't even want to think about Olivia being hurt.

"Is this the home of Detective Olivia Benson?"

Elliot dropped to his knees; his head fell into his hands. Casey walked up behind Elliot and the officer repeated his question,

"Is this the home of Detective Olivia Benson?"

With tears in her eye Casey answered, "Yes."

"There has been an accident involving Detective Benson, she being brought to Mercy General Hospital."

Maureen and Katie walked over to the front door where they saw their father on his knees and their Aunt Casey.

"Daddy what's going on?" Maureen asked her father, while looking at the officer.

"Girls, why don't you go find your grandmother your dad and I will be right there."

"Thank you officer we will be there as soon as we can."

Elliot looked up at Casey, he didn't even have to say anything she knew. Casey walked over to Elliot's mother, Cragen and the rest of the crew. She told them what happened and asked them to stay with the kids so she could take Elliot to the hospital to be with Olivia.


Elliot pulled himself together during the car ride to the hospital. Casey dropped him off in front, he ran in while she went to find a parking spot.

"Where can I find Olivia Benson's room? She was brought in. There was an accident."

"Are you family?"

"I'm the closest thing to family she has, my name is Elliot Stabler."

"She mumbled your name before she—I'll get the doctor."

Casey walked into the hospital and walked around; she saw Elliot and ran up to him. She asked him if he found anything out yet, he told her exactly what the nurse said to him. The doctor walked up to Elliot and Casey and confirmed with them that they were indeed family of Olivia Benson. He went on to tell them how a drunk driver hit the driver's side of the car, that Olivia had massive blood loss, they were able to fix all the damage done to her body, but that she had lost the baby. That the worst was over but it was still touch and go. The doctor explained that they put her into an induced coma because her body was in a lot of stress and shock due to the level of trauma it had been put through.

"The nurses are going to get her settled into a room, they will let you know when she is settled then you can see her."

"Thank you, come on Elliot let's go sit."

"Did you know that...I mean about the baby...did you know?"

"She told me this morning. Elliot I'm so sorry."

"I can't lose her, she put me back together. She made us a family. I just I don't know what I'm going to do, I was planning on…I was going to propose tonight. Casey I can't lose her. She means everything to me."

"Excuse me, are you the family of Olivia Benson?" one of the nurses asked.

"Yes."

"If you would like to follow me, she's in her room."

"Thank you, you go ahead Elliot I'll call everyone and let them know then meet you in there."

The nurse led him down a hallway and into ICU room 105. Elliot pulled a chair up next to her bed and grabbed her hand. He sat there in the quiet just staring at her, holding her hand. Praying that she would make it through okay that they would have the life together that he had dreamed about. The life that she deserved.

"Olivia I need you to make it through this, I love you so much. You have four children that love you with all their hearts, they can't lose you. Hell I can't lose you. You put me back together; you made my dysfunctional family a real family. Me and you, the kids we are a family. It us, all or nothing. I will never leave so please don't leave me like this."

Casey listened from outside the door, tears poured down her face. Her best friend lay in a hospital bed, she lost her baby, almost lost her life, and the man she loved was falling apart.

"Hey Elliot, why don't you let me stay with her for a little while? The kids are really upset they want Olivia. Fin's here let him bring you back to the house; you can talk to the kids. Calm the girls down, maybe bring them here and show them that Olivia's okay, that's just taking a nap."

"I don't want to leave her Case."

"I'll be with her El don't worry."
