After dinner nearly three weeks since Olivia had spoken with George Huang Olivia was outside in the courtyard nervously pacing. Maggie just sat and watched her with Rebecca both of them wondering what was going through the Detective's mind.

Olivia would pace back and forth for a few minutes, stop, look up, mutter something to herself and then begin to pace again and Rebecca would have been lying if she said it didn't cause her some concern.

Of course Rebecca and Maggie knew that tonight was the night Elliot would visit. Tonight would be the night Olivia had been both most nervous and most excited for since she voluntarily committed herself to Bellevue psychiatric and they both knew if all went well tonight then Olivia wouldn't be there with them much longer however should things go badly then she would probably regress and things could be much worse for her.

A part of Rebecca wanted to call Elliot Stabler and prep him before he spoke to Olivia, tell him what she could about Olivia's treatment and explain some of the things he could say or do that would make her regress but she couldn't do that and so she had to hope that whatever it was Elliot had to say that he would be the one to finally make her feel whole again, the one who placed the final puzzle piece in place for her.

Maggie who had begun to mother Olivia since she'd been a patient was worried sick. She was just an orderly so she knew very little about Olivia's mental health but what she did know was that Olivia was scared about seeing Elliot again and was scared that things wouldn't go her way. Maggie would have been more than happy to admit that she was scared too, scared for Olivia.

Olivia was so busy pacing that she didn't see another orderly whisper something in Maggie's ear and Maggie repeating it to Rebecca, all she heard was her name called.

"Olivia." Maggie said reaching out a hand. "He's here."

"Promise you'll stay with me?" Olivia asked Maggie as she clutched tight to her hand and walked towards the visiting room.

"Until you say otherwise I'll be right by your side Liv." She smiled giving the Detective's hand a gentle squeeze.

Unluckily for Olivia Elliot was sat facing the way she just entered. Her breath caught and she stopped walking as she saw him. His head was slightly bowed and he was looking down at the table. Other than looking down in the dumps he was just Elliot Stabler, her partner, best friend and the father of her unborn son.

"Ok?" Maggie asked and that was when Elliot lifted his head and saw her.

A grin spread across his face and he stood up. Olivia's heart hammered in his chest and tears filled her eyes. She let go of Maggie's hand and hurried over to him. He captured her in his arms in a strong embrace and he too cried as he kissed her neck and hold her as close as he could considering the twenty seven week bump that was in the way.

"I've missed you." Olivia cried into his ear.

"God I've missed you too." Elliot cried. "So fucking much."

"Don't let go." Olivia pleaded.

"Not for anything." He promised.

Maggie who was quickly joined by Rebecca watched the scene from a distance. They couldn't see Olivia's face. Only a little of Elliot's which was obviously tear ridden as he plastered Olivia with loving kisses and held as tight as he could to her. It was obvious to both of them that Olivia was holding on for dear life too and all the fear that she'd confessed to having about being scared she wouldn't feel the same for him when she saw him or that he wouldn't feel the same for her were gone.

"I love you." Olivia hiccupped.

"I love you too Liv." He told her softly. "I love you and our boy and I miss you and I need you."

Olivia just cried harder. To know that she had caused Elliot so much pain by her absence hurt even though she knew he understood it had been for the best.

"I'm so sorry." He told her briefly pulling away from her so he could hold her face in his hands and look into her chocolate eyes. "I'm so fucking sorry for everything Liv."

"It's not your fault." She cried as she looked into the sparkling blue eyes that she'd missed more than anything else since she'd placed herself in Bellevue.

Olivia quickly pulled him into her and brushed her lips just lightly over his to see how he would react. When he didn't pull away and kissed her back just as desperately she held onto him tighter needing the physical contact and the emotional contact that he gave her.

"Something tells me she'll be ok." Maggie told Rebecca who nodded softly.

"She'll be just fine."
