Aftermath (An SVU Fanfiction) *EDITING*

One Month

Olivia got up and didn't feel Elliot next to her. There was nothing but unoccupied space and it's killing her. She got up and felt completely sick. She ran to the bathroom to empty her stomach. Great, the flu..

Once she took a shower and got ready, making sure she wasn't going to puke again, she went to wake up Eli. "Eli..it's time to get up."

"I don't wanna go to school," he groans.

"Oh, but you don't have a choice, now do ya'?"

He sits up and looks at her. "Is dad home yet?"

"Um..no. He'll probably be home when you're done with school though."

"You said that yesterday.." he lays back down, pulling up the blankets. He misses his father so much! Plus, Olivia doesn't know how to build stuff and his project is due today."I'm not going until dad comes home."

"Yes you are! Get up and be ready by the time I come back in here, no excuses!"

"It's your fault he left in the first place! You made him mad! You did!"

He's right. She's the reason Elliot left."..You've got an hour." Olivia said quietly, walking out and going into Dylan's room. She lightly shakes her. "Hey, baby girl!"

"Mommy?"

Mommy. She said "mommy" for the first time! Her speech is a little delayed because she's so premature, but she's been getting on track. "Yeah! Good morning, beautiful!"

Dylan giggles and gives off a little twinkle in her eyes. "I hungwy!"

"You're hungry? How about I fix your hair and get you ready for daycare and then we can eat?"

"I no wan' day care. I wan' dada!"

"I know, baby. I want daddy, too."

"When he come home?"

"Soon," Olivia tells her. She has no clue when Elliot will come back, but she knows she needs him here. She picks up Dylan and carries her to the bathroom. "Let's get your teeth brushed."

"Noooooo!"

"C'mon, just do it and get it over with," she pleads.

Olivia walked into the precinct with her head low, not wanting to talk to anyone or even be there at all. She went straight to her desk, not giving anyone the opportunity to say "hello". She looked across from her. An empty desk sits there and it's tearing her insides apart. She picks up a picture from his desk. It's of the two of them. It was their first year at SVU, they went out for drinks with the guys. It's the night the both of them realized they were in love, though it took years to do something about it. They're smiling, they're happy. She misses that. She misses him.

Someone was eating doritos. She could smell it and it was disgusting. It's odd because she loves them, well used to. It wasn't a smell that her stomach was too fond of at the moment, but Cragen had come in and distracted her.

"Benson, there's a vic at Mercy. I need you to go down and take her statement."

"Okay." She stands up and grabs her coat. 

"Tread lightly. She claims she was assaulted during a rape kit."

"You're kidding."

"I wish," Crahen sighs.

"I know this is hard, but I need you to tell me what happened."

"With which one?! I-I was raped and then I think i'm getting help and then she-"
