Aftermath (An SVU Fanfiction) *EDITING*

Names, Arrivals, and Tear Stained Faces

Olivia and Elliot had been extremely affectionate to one another lately. So, when all of Lizzie came into the house with Eli, they were quite surprised to see them cuddling on the couch. It was odd seeing them that way considering how things have been over the past few months.

"Mommy!" Eli screeches as he ran to them. "Daddy!"

"Hey, honey!"

"Hey, guys. I should really get going, it's pretty late," Lizzie tells them.

"Leaving so soon? You just got here," Elliot says as he and Olivia stand up. "Why don't you stay for dinner?"

"Because by the time I get home, it'll be midnight, and that's if I leave right now. Everyone else went straight home."

"Oh, okay. Well, I love you, sweetie," he gives her a hug and so does Olivia.

"I love you guys, too," she says with a smile before leaving.

"Wow."

"What?"

"Nothing," he sighs.

Eli came over and tapped on Elliot's back to get his attention. "I'm tired," he yawns. Elliot picks him up and carries him to bed. He tucked in Eli and then went back to the living room. Olivia hugged him and kissed him softly.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm okay."

"You sure?" She puts her arms around his neck.

"Yeah, I'm just tired.'

Olivia had a feeling that wasn't true, but went along. "Okay.." she sighed and let go. Olivia went to their room, with him following, and got undressed. She changed into an oversized t-shirt that clinged to her curves just the right way. It drives Elliot crazy when she wears that kind of stuff and oddly enough, she actually had no clue.

"Liv?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," was all she said and laid next to him. She let Elliot hold her and give her a kiss, but she didn't kiss back. Elliot could sense that she distance she was putting out there and decided to leave her be. He loves her, a lot in fact, and knew that when she gets like this, it's best to give her some space. "El?" she says, breaking the silence she created.

"Yeah?"

She turns over and looks at him. Her eyes went directly to his lips and without looking away, she said "God, I love you!"

"I love you, too, baby."

She smiles and kisses his lips, holding the back of his head as she does so. Olivia suddenly had horrible back pains and she pushed Elliot away from her. "Ow!" she lifted up and started crying. The pain has never been this intense.

"Liv? What's wrong, babe?" Elliot raises up and rubs her back.

"My back, it hurts!" He continues rubbing her back. "Don't touch me!" she cries. After about a minute, the pain stopped and she let out a deep breath.

"Liv.."

"I'm fine," she says as she wipes her tears. She got up and went to the bathroom to find that when she urinated, there was a bit of blood there. "what? No, no, no!" she tells herself out loud. "El!"

Elliot came rushing in and kneeled down next to her. "What is it?"

"I-I'm bleeding and I'm scared," she confesses. Olivia started crying again. "something isn't right, I just know it!"
