Olivia attended therapy sessions with Dr. Douglas every week. Each session got Olivia closer to what she once was before everything bad happened. Even if she was still anxious and a little paranoid, she was happy and enjoying life with Elliot, Rory, and Macie. Work was good, even though she was on limited duty, but that didn't stop her from counting down the days until she and Elliot welcomed their son into the world.

"Are you enjoying church again?" Bernie asked as she and Olivia waited for Elliot to gather the girls from their bible study class.

"Yes, I am. It still shocks me I even enjoy church... I never believed in God until I met Elliot," Olivia replied with a small smile.

"I'm glad, Olivia. Faith really does something special for those hurting," Bernie spoke, an arm looping through Olivia's.

"The girls also love their classes here. We let Rory stay over with a friend she met here on Friday night."

"Was someone watching the house to make sure she was okay?" Bernie whispered.

"An agent watched the house all night. If she wants to do another sleepover, the girl has come to our house. Rory came home and couldn't stop smiling. She had so much fun being a kid again," Olivia smiled.

"Mama!" Rory exclaimed as she and Macie raced to where their mother and grandmother stood.

"Hey, babies! Did you have fun?" Olivia asked, her fingers running over their pigtails as they hugged her swollen waist.

"So much! I can't wait for next Sunday!" Macie exclaimed with an enormous smile, her front two teeth missing.

After Sunday brunch, Olivia and Elliot took the girls out to get last-minute items for school. They were so excited about school and meeting new friends. As Elliot went to search for new backpacks with an excited Macie and Rory in tow, Olivia searched for pants that would fit her daughters for longer than a few weeks.

"I'd be scared if I was you," A deep voice spoke. Olivia ignored the voice, thinking the man was talking to someone else. She continued to push clothes around a rack until a large hand was placed on her hip.

Olivia took a slow breath, her eyes turning to the man beside her. She used to enjoy seeing the man beside her, the way he'd laugh so loud when they teamed up and kicked Hugo's ass at cards. This man had been important to her and Hugo to the point they asked him to be the girls' godfather.

"Lewis," Olivia whispered.

"You got my boss arrested. Olivia, don't fight me and I won't hurt you," Lewis breathed. Olivia looked into his eyes and knew he didn't want to do this. Yet Hugo still had a lot of pull, even if he was behind bars.

"Please," Olivia whispered.

"Don't even try to guilt me, Olivia. Just follow me."

With a gun placed to her back, Olivia slowly walked towards the front of the store with Lewis. As they walked through the doors, Olivia heard her husband call her name.

"Don't respond, Olivia. If you do, that baby of yours won't live and neither will you."

Olivia lay handcuffed in the trunk of a car. She tried her hardest to remain calm, but she was terrified of what Lewis would do. She had known him for years and liked him, but things changed when she found out he worked for Hugo as his right-hand man.

Breathing slowly, Olivia tried to remember all the turns and the sounds of traffic. A few times she heard a horn or sirens, but they were driving through New York City, where there was always crime and pissed-off drivers.

"Don't fight me," Lewis spoke, as he lifted the trunk door and looked at Olivia. She squinted at the sudden light, her breath increasing at the sight of her kidnapper.

"I need to use the bathroom," Olivia spoke, keeping her voice low as Lewis helped her from the trunk.

"I don't care," He replied.

"I'm pregnant, Lewis. Please, just let me use the bathroom and we can talk about why you kidnapped me," Olivia frowned. Lewis looked around for a moment before nodding slowly. 

"Follow me."

They walked together into a large warehouse. Instead of remaining on the main floor, Lewis moved a few crates out of the way and opened a hidden door. He shoved Olivia through it and followed her down the dimly lit stairs. After barely remaining on her feet, they reached a basement that was far from finished.

"Welcome home," Lewis said with a frown, the handle of his gun making impact with the side of Olivia's head.

Elliot met Cragen outside of the store as tears burned his eyes. He knew someone had taken Olivia, but didn't know who. The girls were sitting on the bench just inside the doors.

"What happened?" Cragen asked, as Fin walked past Elliot and went to grab the girls.

"Olivia was looking for clothes and someone took her. I saw her walking out the front door with some man!" Elliot cried.

"Stabler, take a breath. Are you sure it was her?" Cragen asked.

"I know it was my wife because she was wearing her church dress! Sir, someone kidnapped my wife!"

Cragen squeezed Elliot's shoulder as he looked into his eyes.

"Elliot, we are going to find her. I need to look at the cameras. Do you know of anyone that might want to hurt her?" Cragen asked. 

Elliot swallowed hard because they didn't tell Cragen about what happened on their honeymoon.

"I-I need to make a call. Can Fin take the girls to the precinct? I'll ask my mom and ask her to get them," Elliot spoke.

"Who do you need to call?" Cragen asked, but Elliot was ignoring him as he walked down the sidewalk and dialed Agent Ford's number.

"Ford," The man answered.

"Ford, it's Elliot Stabler. Olivia was kidnapped this afternoon and I think it has to do with Hugo."
