Aftermath (An SVU Fanfiction) *EDITING*

Hanged

Elliot couldn't stand the thought of Olivia cheating on him. And what about that sudden change in emotions? She went from upset to angry in seconds! He knows that she wants space, but just how much space should she be given? Elliot just needs to know that she's okay. So, he got up and knocked on the bedroom door.

"I have to knock on my bedroom door.", he thought. "Liv? Honey, I know you're upset, but..listen, I'm not mad. Or..I'm trying not to be. Can we just talk? I hate seeing you so upset.", he cracks the door. "Liv?", he opens it the rest of the way.

He wasn't prepared to see her hanging there in the closet. Olivia Benson, his partner, his wife, his world just hanging there. Elliot ran over to her and lifted her enough for the belt to loosen on her throat and got her down. She gasped for a air and coughed as her fingernails dug into Elliot's skin.

"Olivia?! Baby, breathe! It's gonna be okay, I promise!", he tells her as he forces his tears to the back of his head, unwilling to let them fall. Olivia silently curses him for saving her, but thanks him at the same time. She tries to force him off of her, but she's no match for his strength right now. "Stop it! Just stop and breathe! Please breathe!"

Olivia cries and fists his shirt while he holds her limp body in his arms. She doesn't know why he saved her, why he wanted to save her. She just knows that she didn't deserve to be saved. She didn't deserve him. Sure, he hurt her, but she won't ever find anyone who loves her and cares for her as much as he.

An ambulance took her to the hospital and Elliot took Eli with him to Fin's place. Fin was more than happy to watch his "Lil' Dude".

•••••••

Olivia had stared at the wall for over an hour and a half after arriving. She hasn't said a word to anyone. Dr. Lindstrom and Dr. Huang tried speaking to her and nothing. Olivia wouldn't even look at them. She eventually fell asleep, but regretted it soon after. The nightmares. Those damn nightmares.

"Say another word and I will fucking kill you, understand?!", Lewis yelled and smacked her across the face. Olivia nodded as the tears stained her face. "Good girl. Now when I take this tape off your mouth, you're not gonna scream, right?" , Olivia shook her head. He ripped the tape from her mouth and she spit in his face..for the second time. He was done playing games. He pushed her thighs apart and shoved his gun inside of her. She screamed in pain, but she was bound and had no way to fight back.

She sat up, screamed, begged for mercy, for a chance. Her voice went hoarse, but she still used every last bit of her vocal abilities.

"STOP! PLEASE, IT HURTS! AHH!", she begs as she fights off her attacker. Elliot jumps up and pulls her into a tight hug. Olivia tried to fight him.

"Liv, its okay, baby. Its me, its Elliot. You're safe, okay?", he coos in her ear. Olivia fists his shirt and sobs into his chest. "Nobody can hurt you."

"It hurt so bad!", she cries. "I tried to get away! I tried so hard!"

"I know, baby. I know you did."

"Why?! Why did you save me?! Why didn't you just let me die?!", Olivia punched his chest, but still kept him close.

"Because I won't let you give up so easily! Because I love you, Eli loves you and needs you, I need you, all of us do! You can't throw everything you've worked you whole life for away, I won't let you! That piece of shit hurt you and I wish I could take that away, Liv, but I can't. Killing yourself won't take it away either."

Olivia's doctor came into the room. He requested that he speak to Elliot outside the room for a moment.

"Mr. Stabler, your wife, Olivia, she..she's pregnant."

"What? What, no, she can't be.", he says in disbelief. She had been drinking, not eating correctly, and more; she can't be pregnant.

"She is. I'd say 12weeks."

"12 weeks? That's impossible. After she was..assaulted, she took the pill, she went to check-ups to make sure she wasn't pregnant!"

"And her regulate OBGYN wasn't here. There was another doctor taking her place and he must've missed it. I'm sorry."

"Three times?! He missed a pregnancy three fucking times?!", Elliot yelled and punched the wall. "My wife was beaten, raped, and tortured for seven days! She's been so depressed that she drank herself happy and tried to kill herself all while she was pregnant and you're sorry?"

"Look, if she doesn't start prenatal care soon and get the fetus checked out-"

"Baby. Its a baby."

"Talk to her. Make her understand her options.", Elliot nodded and went back into the room. Olivia looked up.

"El? I want to go home.", she pleads.

"Um..we can't.", Elliot sits next to her and holds her hand.

"Why not?"

"Liv, honey, you um..you're..pregnant."
