Their Love, Their Life [A Bensler Fan Fic]

.Chapter Four.

Olivia told Amanda not to call Elliot. She wanted to make sure that if their child did make it, that Elliot didn't find out about what happened a work and decide that she couldn't work any longer. But if the baby didn't make it, she wanted to be able to figure out how to feel about it before telling her fiance that their child... the one that they both wanted so badly... didn't have a heartbeat anymore.

"Has the doctor not come to see you yet?" Amanda asked as she walked into the small space that was marked off by a curtain. Olivia looked over at Amanda and shook her head as she swung her legs.

"Nope. Clearly, I'm not important enough." Olivia sighed. She was angry, tired, and upset. She just wanted someone to tell her what was happening.

"Did she leave a bruise?" Amanda asked, and Olivia shrugged.

"I haven't looked yet. You know what, you don't have to stay here. You can go back to work and talk to Cragen and talk to him about the case until I can get back."

"You should have told him. Told him that you are pregnant."

"Was. Not anymore." Olivia frowned. 

"Don't think like that, Benson. Never think like that because you made it through getting raped and sexually assaulted. You even took a bullet for Elliot. I think that it's time for you to call Elliot. To get him down here and tell him that something might happen to your child so he can help you. I'm going back to the precinct to tell Cragen that you have been keeping a very important secret from him." Amanda spoke, and Olivia reached out and grabbed Amanda's arm before she could walk away.

"I hate you so much... but make the call to Elliot for me? And don't go and tell Cragen. Would you mind watching the kids?" Olivia asked, and Amanda nodded.

"Of course."

Elliot had just put Logan in the guest bedroom when his phone rang. Logan hadn't made it even close to the end of the movie, so Elliot had to carry him to bed.

"Stabler." Elliot sighed, as he hoped that Cragen wasn't calling him into work the same case that Olivia and Amanda were working on.

"Elliot, it's Amanda. Now, don't freak out, but Olivia is in the hospital." Amanda spoke, but telling Elliot to not freak out made him freak out more.

"What's wrong? What happened?! Amanda just-"

"Let me tell you what is wrong before you say I'm not telling you! Olivia got hit earlier... in the stomach. I drove her to the hospital because she was nervous that maybe your baby was hurt. The doctor just went in to see her, and she wants you up here. I'm heading to your place right now to take over watching the kids. I'll be there in like 10 minutes."

"Is she bleeding?" Elliot whispered.

"No. But she did get sick. I think that it was just because she was scared."

"Okay. Okay, I'll get going as soon as you get here. Can you put your lights and sirens on to get here quicker? Then I can get back to her?" Elliot asked.

"Yeah, I can do that."

Olivia was signing her discharge papers when Elliot came running into the ER. She turned around from where she was standing at the front desk, and she reached out and grabbed her fiance from his arm to stop him.

"Slow down, Elliot. You are going to run into someone who really has something wrong with them." Olivia spoke, and Elliot quickly pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply before holding her close.

"The baby is okay? You aren't crying." Elliot spoke, and Olivia smiled softly.

"We are both okay. I'm supposed to take a few days off to relax, but other than that it looks like we are going to be parents again in the near future." Olivia grinned.

"This is amazing. Amanda told me not to freak out, but does she fucking know that when you tell me not to freak out, it makes me freak out more." Elliot spoke, as he wrapped his arms around Olivia's body as she turned around to finish filling out the paperwork.

"You always freak out. I feel like you might've been worked up more than I was when Danielle was in labor with the twins." Olivia sighed, and Elliot shook his head.

"I distinctly remember that you were the one pacing the hallway. Okay, tell them to keep you here. I don't want you anymore." Elliot teased.

They stood there for a few more minutes before Olivia pulled her jacket on before they walked out together.

"Gonna take me home, or gonna make me walk home?" Olivia asked, and Elliot sighed.

"I'm going to make you get in the sedan. Then I'm going to drive you to the precinct and we are going to tell our Captain that you have been hiding stuff from him."

"No, we have been hiding something from him, not just me."

"Logan?" Amanda asked quietly when she walked into the guestroom. Logan yawned a bit before sitting up and rubbing his eyes with his fists.

"What, Mom?" Logan asked. Amanda smiled because he was a sweet kid during the day, but if you wake him up the middle of the night he isn't that happy.

"I just wanted to know if you were awake or not. Don't get angry with me, little man." Amanda spoke. She slipped her boots off before going over and sitting next to Logan. She ran her fingers gently over his blonde curls.

"Is the case over with?" Logan asked.

"No, it's not. It's just that I had to come back here to watch you and your cousins."

"Why?" Logan asked, as he reached over and turned on the lamp.

"Aunt Liv got hurt tonight. Uncle Elliot went to be with her."

"Did she lose the baby?" Logan asked, and Amanda shrugged.

"I don't know. Uncle Elliot-" Amanda started, but then she pulled her phone out as it vibrated in her pocket. She read the message before smiling.

"Aunt Liv and the baby are fine. Now, back to bed. Sorry for waking you."

"It's okay, Mom. I'm used to you randomly annoying me."
