A/N: Hope you enjoy this chapter. A few heart to hearts. =]


A week had passed; Olivia hadn't come out of her coma yet. The doctor said that she should come out of it any day now. Elliot felt like a robot, he did the same thing every day. He woke up, got the girls and twins up, got them ready, made breakfast, took them to school and daycare then went to work. After work he would pick them up bring them home to eat, and then a sitter would come and stay with the twins on the nights he didn't feel like carting all the kids to the hospital. It was the same thing every day.

Elliot hustled the kids into the car, buckled the twins into their car seats and make sure the girls had buckled themselves in. He drove the ten minutes to the hospital and parked pretty close to the entrance. He took the stroller out of the car and got the twins settled in. The girls got out of the car, Mo had the baby bag and Katie had a new set of get well pictures in her hand for Olivia. They followed their dad into the hospital to see Olivia. Just like they had been doing for the past week.

After fifteen minutes, Elliot had the kids settled and comfortable. Lizzie was laying on Olivia, the little girl was having trouble sleeping for the past week. Olivia was the one to lay with her and comfort her. It was getting harder to because Lizzie was teething and Olivia was the only one she would settle down for. Olivia's accident was having a bad effect on everyone. Elliot couldn't stand to see his kids hurting.

"Guys I'm going to go grab you guys some ice cream extra cherries. Mo watch your sisters and brother especially Lizzie since she's on the bed."

"I will Daddy."

Lizzie stirred in her sleep, then turned and looked over at Maureen who was making sure she didn't fall off the bed. Lizzie gripped on tightly to Olivia and a tear ran down her face.

"Momma, momma, momma," the little girl cried out.

Olivia's eyes began to flutter, moans escaped her lips and she reached to hold on to the little girl that was lying partially on her chest.

"Hi baby girl."

"Livvy, you're awake!" Maureen said excitedly.

"Yes? Where are we?"

"The hospital, Daddy said he would be right back."

Olivia wiped the tears from Lizzie's eyes as the little girl snuggled closer into her side and drifted to sleep. Elliot walked into the room to sleep Olivia rubbing the little girl's back, he stood at the door in pure shock that he almost dropped the ice cream.

"El, what happened?"

"Liv, you were in an accident a little over a week ago. You went out to get candles for the twin's cake because we forgot them but you never came back. You got hit by a drunk driver, you sustained a lot of injuries. They put you into an induced coma because your body was under a lot of stress and shock. I'm going to go get the doctor and call Casey and everyone to update them."

The doctor came in and talked to her about her accident, the damage that had been done to her body and that she had lost the baby. Olivia lay on the hospital bed, tears in her eyes and Lizzie snuggled in her arms. Elliot came in a few minutes later after the doctor left.

"El, we need to talk."

"Okay, can it wait? Casey and everyone is coming by they want to see you. Casey said she would take the kids home, so we can talk."

"Okay El."

"Why don't you rest a little while before everyone gets here? I missed you, Liv."

"I'm sorry I put you through all this," Olivia said with tears in her eyes.

"Don't Liv; you have nothing to be sorry for. Don't cry, just rest."

Twenty minutes later, Olivia's room was filled with balloons, flowers, and a ton of people that love and care about her. Their faces were all filled with smiles that one of the most important people in their family was still with them.

A half an hour later, everyone had decided to start get going to give Olivia some more time to rest. Casey asked Elliot to take the kids out into the waiting area because she wanted to talk to Olivia alone before she left. Elliot tried to pick up Lizzie but the second she realized she was no longer in Olivia's embrace all hell broke loose.

"She's fine El, just leave her with me."

Lizzie settled right back down once she was placed in Olivia's arms, she snuggled into her chest and fell back to sleep. Elliot left the room with the rest of the kids so that Casey and Olivia could have some privacy.

"How are you holding up Liv?"

"I lost the baby Case."

"I know sweetie I'm so sorry, Elliot hates himself for everything that happened. He thinks he should have tried harder to stop you from going to the store. I don't think he is ever going to forgive himself from losing the baby and almost losing you."

"Elliot knows about the baby?"

"The doctor told us when we got here; he probably assumed that Elliot knew since he is your emergency contact and all."

"I can't believe I lost the baby, I will never forgive myself. I really wanted this baby. I thought maybe the baby might change Elliot's mind about Meghan. But now I'm just damaged goods."

"Olivia don't you ever say that and there's still time he never had a chance to propose. I'm going to head out its late the kids are probably tired and I know you and Elliot need to talk."

"Thank you Casey for everything."

"No problem Olivia."


"Hey Liv, how are you feeling? Are you sure you don't want Casey to talk her home?"

"I'm sore and yes I'm sure. El we need to talk."

"I know, I'm so sorry that I failed yo—"

"El don't, this isn't your fault. It was an accident. El, I was pregnant. I lost the baby. I'm so sorry."

"Liv, it's okay don't cry. Don't work yourself up, there will be other chances. I know how much this baby must have meant to you but this is a sign that this baby wasn't meant to be."

"It wasn't just any baby El, this was our baby. I know you must not care because you are ready to start your life with Meghan but—"

"Now you stop right there Olivia Benson, I do to care about you. I've been the biggest wreck since your accident; I've been by your side every night. It's been just me, you and the kids. I thought I was going to lose you before being able to tell you how much you mean to me and what a big part you are in my life."

"I know you were planning on proposing to Meghan, I found the ring that morning. My stuff is already in my new apartment. El I'm giving you an out. Us, you me and the kids that wasn't supposed to be forever. I was just helping you out until you got back on your feet and the fooling around was stupid. We shouldn't have but it was what we both needed at the time. Elliot, stop spending your nights around here and go get your girl."

Elliot looked at her full of hurt, like the past few months they had spent together had meant nothing to her. He walked out of the room and shut the door loud enough for her to know he was mad but not loud enough to wake Lizzie.

The tears flowed out of Olivia's eyes the moment he left the room. She was hoping that some part of him wanted her as much as she wanted him. But he made that clear that he didn't since he walked out the door.

Ten minutes later, with tears still falling from her eyes Olivia looked up to see Elliot walk back in the door.

"Did you come back for Lizzie."

"No."

"Then why are you here, Elliot?"

"Move over."

Olivia did as she was told and moved over. Elliot climbed into bed with her and gathered her and Lizzie into his arms and just let Olivia cry.

"You, I came back for you. I love you. You are it for me, you and only you."
