Chapter 13: Happily Ever After?

Wednesday January 5th

OLIVIA'S POV

The sun crept through the blinds, and for a moment I had forgotten where I was. My eyes fell upon the still sleeping form of Lizzie Stabler; we were in the hospital.

Without waking Lizzie, I quietly got up to find someone who could tell me what was going on.

"Excuse me," I said, approaching the receptionist at the front desk, "can you tell me which room Elliot Stabler is in?"

"He may still be in surgery, let me call his nurse for you," she replied, turning away from me.

Ten minutes had gone by.

Honestly, how long does it take to find a room number?

Tired of waiting, I cleared my throat to get her attention.

"Oh! I'm sorry, the doctor should see you soon!"

True to her word, the doctor came within minutes to the lobby where I was impatiently tapping my fingernails.

"Mr. Stabler's out of surgery now; I can take you to him," she was sweet, too sweet. Her kindness made me wonder if he was ok. "I must warn you, he may still be a little out of it." She opened the door, revealing a peacefully sleeping Elliot.

I came to his side immediately, taking his hand and ignoring the doctor's ranting.

"He needs his sleep, so make it short," I heard her say.

"Is he gonna be alright?" I asked, peeling my eyes off Elliot and towards her.

"Don't worry Mrs. Stabler, everything will be ok." With that, she shut the door leaving me alone with the man I loved.

I rubbed my thumb over his hand as his crystal eyes opened. "Mrs. Stabler, eh?" he chuckled, his voice still laced with sleep. He didn't know the reason behind the doctor's words, but he sure as hell liked the sound of 'Mrs. Stabler.'

"I swear to God I'll kill you if you ever do that to me again!" My voice became uncontrollably angry as tears formed in my eyes.

"Liv, I'm so sorry… what happened?"

I looked at him incredulously, "You mean you don't remember?"

He shook his head.

"You and Kristin took of without back-up… or my consent for that matter. What the hell's wrong with you?!? She would have died if you didn't block the shot… I thought I lost you."

"Oh Liv, come here." He pulled me into his arms, placing kisses on my forehead. "You'll never lose me Liv… I'll always be with you."

He kissed me tenderly on the lips and I knew in that moment that this was how it was meant to be.

The moment, however, was short lived as a knock on the door interrupted us.

"I'll get it," I told Elliot, kissing him lightly on the lips, "Dr. Yei, is something wrong?"

"I'm sorry…" she shook her head, "We did everything we could but… I'm so sorry Olivia."

"Slow down Margie," I placed my hands on her shoulders, searching her eyes, "what are you talking about?"

"Your daughter…"

OOOOOOO!! Dun dun dun!
