Aftermath (An SVU Fanfiction) *EDITING*

10 Years Makes a Difference

Two hours into pushing and she's only begun crowning. The pain is excruciating and, just like last time, the flashbacks were no help to her situation. Everytime she was ordered to push, to take deep breaths, every time Elliot held her hand and rubbed her back, it triggered something. 

"Breathe, Liv, you'll start hyperventilating if you don't try to calm down," Elliot tries.

Lewis pinched her nose since she wouldn't open her mouth for him. "You've gotta breathe sometime, you dumb bitch!"

Olivia held out as long as she could, but oxygen needed to fill her lungs! So, she opened her mouth to take in a deep breathe, but before she could close it, he shoved himself into her mouth-

"I DON'T WANNA DO IT! STOP, STOP!"

Elliot lifted her chin, turning her head to face him. "Baby, it's me! It's just me, look at me!"

"I can't do it again, El, I just can't!"

"Yes you can! You did it once, you'll do it again and you'll do great, okay?" Olivia nodded, not really believing him, but she agreed anyways. "Don't think about him, don't think about how much it hurts, just look at me and think about how wonderful this baby boy is. Think about that, okay?"

"Alright you guys, we need to push again," the doctor says, interrupting their moment."On three. One..two..three!"

Olivia pushed with all her strength and it was barely enough to get the baby's shoulders through! She was screaming bloody murder as..

"You fucking like that, don't you? You like being a dirty whore?" Lewis asks, taunting her. She shook her head and earned a slap to the face, one that left a handprint.

Cries filled the air and the infant was placed in his mother's arms. "We-we don't even have a name for you yet.."

"Honey, he's perfect!" Elliot exclaims, kissing her sweaty forehead. "We'll figure out the perfect name, okay?"

Olivia smiles at her son. In this moment, all the pain, all the so called 'memories' were gone, they vanished, and that's not at all what she expected. "Can..can we name him Aiden?"

"Aiden? You like that name?" Olivia nods. "Then Aiden it is!"

*******

Ten years had passed. Eli is now twenty and in college, Dylan is thirteen and thinks the world is out to get her, and Aiden is now ten. He's  spitting image of his mother, but has his father's attitude and temper, kind of like how Eli does.

Since Aiden's birth, a lot has changed. Elliot no longer works for SVU, Olivia isn't a detective, and things are just flip flopped. Elliot is not an undercover officer, so he's pulled away on business trips more than he would like to be. Olivia is now running the squad and has two new members, Nick Amaro and Amanda Rollins, since John and Cragen both retired.

Things are most definitely different, but a good different. There needed to be a change, and it was good for all of them.

Tonight, Eli made the choice to stay at home with his family since it's the last night before winter break is over. Everyone is sitting around the dinner table, and it's pretty quiet, until Elliot spoke up. "How was everyone's day?"

"Good," all three kids say in unison.

They both know it's not entirely true. Aiden failed his english test, Dylan got written up for insubordination, and Eli seemed to be the only one that's actually doing "good".

"How about we wrap up dinner early to-" Before Olivia could finish her sentence, Aiden and Dylan were already half-way up the staircase. "..night." Olivia tossed her napkin on the table and sighed as she runs her fingers through her hair.
