Chapter 12
After Olivia calmed down a bit she drifted to sleep. Elliot fell asleep shortly after. They woke up to the sound of Olivia's phone. She reached over to the coffee table and grabbed it, answering with the usual greeting: "Benson." She waited a moment while the other person was talking. She passed the phone to Elliot and said "It's Kathleen; she wants to talk to you." Elliot took the phone and listened carefully. His face dropped in a cruel mix of horror and grief right before he hung up the phone.
Olivia gave him a question look and he whispered "Kathy is," he paused so he could compose himself "Kathy is dead." He managed to say this flatly before the tears came. Olivia got off his lap and pulled him into a hug as he cried on her shoulder. "The baby is okay. I need to go to the hospital, now."
He got up and headed to the door, not noticing that Olivia had done the same. When he finally noticed, she said "I'm coming with you."
Elliot stared at her for a moment then yelled "no! This is your fault. If you were stronger and could protect yourself, then I wouldn't be here! I would have been with my wife and I would have driven her! She would still be alive!" He stormed out of the apartment and never looked back.
Olivia stood there stunned at what just happened. He hadn't yelled at her like that since the day where she got her throat cut and a little boy did to- only one lived. Once she passed the stunned period she fell to the floor in tears, believing what Elliot what had just said. His words were still echoing around the room; and she knew that she would never be able to erase them from her mind.
