The Stress Fracture, Chapter 3: The Stress Doctor
Home of Olivia Benson and Alex Cabot
Chelsea, MA
9:00am, Friday, January 26th
Alex looked down at Olivia who smiled up at her sleepily. She touched Olivia’s face, ran her finger along her jawline.
“I think I need to go back to sleep after that. You look sleepy, too. How about it? Another hour?” Alex said. She swung her head slightly from side to side, causing her long blonde hair to tickle Olivia’s nose.
“I can’t, sweetheart. Elliot’s going to kill me as it is for coming in late,” Olivia said. She ran her hands over Alex’s bare hips and strained upward to kiss her on the lips. As she began to push Alex off her and stand up out of bed, she was caught by another kiss. They fell back onto the bed giggling and rolling over each other.
“Just a little more time. Maybe a little more of you,” Alex pleaded.
“You have court this afternoon, don’t you?” Olivia said.
“We still have time.” Alex began to kiss Olivia again, rolling on top of her and pressing into her.
But Olivia squirmed and finally pulled her lips away from Alex’s. “Sweetheart, seriously, I need to get to the station. Bette was out yesterday and again today. I have paperwork waiting for me on my desk.”
Alex blew a raspberry and rolled off her girlfriend. She scooted up against the headboard and covered herself with a sheet. “She’s really sick, isn’t she?”
Olivia was out of bed, gathering her clothes for the day from her dresser and closet. “Yep, walking pneumonia.”
“Probably made worse from the stress of her move,” Alex said. Then she added, “Not to mention everything else she’s been through.”
Olivia tossed her slacks and shirt along with her underwear and bra on the bed. “She’s lucky she didn’t end up in the hospital. You should’ve seen her the last few days. Pale and thin. And that cough…just glad she finally got in to see a doctor.”
She slipped inside the bathroom, which was joined to the master bedroom, turned on the shower, and poked her head back out. “You want to join me? Save some water, some time?” She smiled and winked at Alex who seemed to be lost in thought. “Alex?”

Thanks for the comments on chapter two. I noticed you all are wanting me to dump poor Leigh! Aww, now you know this Bette would never do that. She’s too damn responsible, too much of a care giver.
This chapter has some important clues about Melvin’s murder and about the unsolved murder Bette is investigating. There’s nothing here to be triggered about, so no warning. It is a rather sad, yet funny, chapter as it unfolds and as poor Bette just can’t catch a break. Thank goodness Tina is there!
BTW, for those of you wondering when Maura and Jane will emerge with a bigger role, that’s just around the corner.
I’ll see you next week with chapter four. It’s sure to leave you scratching your head and saying WTF!

What a crappy day for Bette! Tina’s set up with her students seems a very odd arrangement – another mystery? “Hot and steamy” scene to start out the chapter…man, BenMac! You got this story going all different ways. I’m sure you’ll put it all together for us as we get deeper into the story but you definitely have me waiting for more! Thank you again and again for sharing your awesome story-telling talent with us. ~Your devoted reader, Doc..

Ooh, poor Bette, there are some days you can better stay in bed!
But she didn’t and ended up in Tina’s care. Those students, i don’t trust them one bit, just a bad feeling about them.
When Bette mentioned Maura, Tina smiled a sad smile, is that because she has a history with Maura or Jane?
I agree with you, the way you portray Bette, she would never leave Leigh, but maybe Leigh will leave, she isn’t happy and depressed due to what happened in LA, especially with what happened to her younger brother. I hope you will disclose what happened to them.
Will wait patiently for your next chapter.

Last chapter I thought it odd that Jenny seemed to be attempting to play matchmaker. This chapter seems like she inadvertently played matchmaker if we are to believe Bette’s eyes and not Tina’s apparent misdirection.
Like Doc, I find it very weird that Tina’s students actually live with her. Hopefully you’ll elaborate on how that came about and in what capacity it “serves many purposes.”
Wonder what “lasagna” was code for…hmmmm? And it appears that Adele may have a thing for Tina and is unhappy with the interloper that is staying the night. With so much intrigue and so many unanswered questions, it’s painful to have to wait another week to keep putting the pieces together.
Sharod says
Lasagna was code for “I am not alone and someone is listening”. I don’t think Bette’s eyes were deceiving her, if that wasn’t Jenny, then it was Adele. I know people want Leigh to go. But Tina, let’s just say, her hooded coat is not the only thing she uses to protect herself. Just saying.
Merlion says
Thanks BenMac! :-) hmm! Sneaky lasagna, when reading that part, I already smell something burnt there. I think Bette would notice something after she saw them.
Feel sorry about how Bette find out about Melvin. I think one week is too long now… ????
TibettesGal says
Thanks, BenMac. This is a great blending of the 3 programs and an interesting twist of plot. Keep on, OK?? TBsG

This relationship of Bette and Leigh is very
depressing, there is no happiness in this
relationship, seems to me a claustrophobic relationship where
there is no light, and will not go anywhere.
And poor Bette both your love life and is proficional
a mess .
And I’m a great admirer of Mariska Hargitay, I
I first saw in a series called “Downton”
she has a smile that lights up.
The entire universe.
