Chapter 1- Meeting and Greeting
"Dr. Cabot to trauma one, Dr. Cabot to trauma one," a woman voice announced over the hospital speakers. A blonde woman in a large white coat ran down the hall, she ran into the trauma one
"What have we got?" she asked looking at one of her nurses.
"34 year old Detective Olivia Benson. Shot twice. One in the shoulder and abdomen, she lost a lot of blood," the nurse replied. Dr. Cabot nodded and got to work, to save the detective life.
Outside pacing the halls was the detective partner, Detective Elliot Stabler. With him were his captain and two other detectives, Odafin "Fin" Tutuola and John Munch.
"What's taking so long?" Elliot said kicking the plastic chairs that lined up along the halls.
"Elliot, calm down," Capt. Don Cragen said.
Elliot collapsed on one of the plastic chairs and placed his head in his hand, "I can't, I'm the reason she is in there. I didn't see the gun until it was too late, now she is lying in there."
"Elliot, we all didn't see the gun until it was too late, you shouldn't blame yourself," John Munch said from the seat next to him.
"But she is my partner, you're suppose to watch each others backs," Elliot replied standing back up and started pacing the halls again.
Meanwhile Dr. Cabot managed to stop the detective from dying of blood lost. The brunette was now in ICU, she was still critical but the doctor and the nurses were praying for her to survive the night.
Dr. Cabot went out into the waiting area; four men looked up at her,
"Detective Benson?" she asked and they nodded.
"I'm Elliot Stabler, Olivia's partner, is she going to be okay?" Elliot asked as he stood in front of the doctor.
"We managed to stop the bleeding, to tell you the truth she lost a lot of blood. She is in ICU and is critical. She might not make it through the night but there is a chance she will and recover fully," the doctor replied.
"Can we see her?" Fin asked her.
The doctor nodded, "Only for a few minutes."
The four of them followed the doctor to where Olivia laid; Elliot went in first followed by Fin and Munch. Their captain stayed with the doctor,
"Tell me doc, what's the damage?" he asked looking at the woman in white.
"You know I can't discuss it, I have to talk to a family member first," the doctor replied.
"Doctor, Olivia hasn't really got a real family, we're her family. That's why it's hurt us all, please. If it helps, she's like the daughter me and my wife never had but wanted, please tell me."
"Okay. She's in a coma right now. The bullet from her shoulder was a through and through, minor damage. I can't say the same for the one that entered her abdomen, it puncher her right lung and cracked one of her ribs," the doctor said and the captain nodded. "Why don't you go in?"
"Thanks Doc," Cragen replied and walked into the room. Dr. Cabot watched as the four men crowded around the unconscious woman. The brunette had machines hooked up to her and a tube down her throat. She waited for a few more minutes before she had to ask the men to leave.
Elliot handed his business card to the doctor, "please ring me if anything happens during the night."
The doctor nodded, "sure."
The four detective left, a group of reporter camped on the hospital door step, trying to get the scoop on Detective Benson.
Alex looked back at the brunette through the glass door before a nurse called her name.
"Coming," she called and took one last look at Olivia before walking away.
The next few days Olivia was still hanging on. People from her squad came and visited her and brought her flowers, cards and Elliot's kids brought her a 'get well' teddies. Elliot visited most everyday, he would sit by his partner's side and talk to her, and he would tell her the latest case and latest gossip from his daughters.
Doctor Cabot walked into her patient room one afternoon to check the monitors and vitals; the room was filled with all sort of different flowers. The doctor smiled, she checked the monitors and drips then wrote on the chart. After placing her pen back in her pocket, the doctor went over to the window sill and smelt the beautiful flowers.
"There her favorite," a voice said behind her, startling the doctor. She quickly turned around and saw Elliot standing in the doorway.
"Oh, I didn't mean to…." Alex started as she pointed to the flowers.
"It's okay, doctor, how is she doing?" Elliot asked walking over to the bed.
"She seems to be comfortable and her body is slowly healing," she replied.
Elliot nodded, "do you know when she is going to wake up?"
She shook her head, "sorry."
"Do you know she wouldn't be in here, if I backed her up?"
"You shouldn't blame yourself," the doctor replied.
Elliot just looked at his partner, he noticed one of her fingers move, "did you see that? Her hand moved."
"It could be a muscle spasm, it happens sometimes."
Elliot and the doctor watched Olivia's fingers for it to happen again; Elliot nearly believed it was muscle spasms when it happened again. They both looked up at the brunette woman face and saw her brown eyes flutter open.
"Liv? Liv can you hear me?" Elliot asked moving closer to Olivia's face. Olivia started breathing heavily; she tired to remove the tube from her throat. The doctor reached up and pushed the call then tried to calm the detective down,
"Lay still for a moment, we'll remove tube."
"Oh Liv, thank god your okay," Elliot said before nurses entered the room and ushered him outside while they got to work.
Inside Olivia room, the nurses were holding Olivia's hands to prevent the detective hurting her shoulder.
Dr. Cabot hovered over the detective and looked into her brown eyes, "Detective Benson, when I tell you to cough, cough and I'll pull the tube out. Blink if understand. Okay?" the doctor asked and Olivia blinked. "Okay, ready, one two, three. Cough."
Olivia cough and Alex pulled the tube out of her throat, Olivia started coughing frantically. One of the nurses grabbed a plastic cup filled with water and held the straw to lips. "Drink up," she instructed. Olivia slowly sipped the cold water; her sore throat welcomed the cool water.
Doctor Cabot looked over Olivia; she checked her drips and monitors.
"What happen?" Olivia croaked reaching out for the blonde doctor.
"You were shot, Detective Benson, your partner is waiting outside."
"Elliot?"
"Yes, as soon as we have finished looking over you, we'll let him in," Dr. Cabot said. Olivia nodded and whined when one of the nurses touched her shoulder, "were going to give you some morphine for the pain," the doctor said and she looked at one of the nurses who nodded.
"Here we go, Miss Benson," the red head nurse said as she injected the liquid drug into Olivia drip.
"Can you let Detective Stabler back in please?" Doctor Cabot asked.
"Sure," the redhead replied walking over to the door and letting Elliot in.
Elliot walked in, "you okay?"
"I'm still here," Olivia croaked.
"Just," Elliot replied.
"Elliot…" Olivia mumbled as her eyes fluttered close but opened straight away then closed again. The drug had kicked in.
"I think its times up," the blonde doctor said quietly and Elliot nodded.
"I'll come back tomorrow to see her."
The doctor nodded, "sure."
Elliot walked over to his partner and leaned down and kissed her forehead, "I glad your okay, Olivia. I don't know what I would do if I ever lost you," he whispered in her ear. He turned to the doctor, "she going to be okay now isn't she?" he asked.
"She should be fine now that she's out of the coma," she replied.
Elliot nodded thankful that his partner was going to be okay. He bid his good bye to the doctor before leaving the room. Dr. Cabot checked on her patient on last time to make sure she was going to be comfortable then left to do her rounds.
"Good morning, Detective," Dr. Cabot greeted the detective new room. She had organized for the detective to come out of ICU and into a normal room.
"Good morning, Doctor," Olivia replied looking away from her television. Dr. Cabot grabbed Olivia chart and read it over,
"How are you feeling?" she asked.
Olivia laughed, "My shoulder is burning," she answered. Doctor Cabot nodded and looked over her chart again,
"I can give you something for the pain, if you like?" Alex asked looking at her patient.
"Can you throw in a massage as well?" the detective asked pouting at the doctor.
"We'll see," the doctor laughed, "I'll be right back," she said and left the room. Olivia went back to watching her television show.
The doctor returned with the pain med's,
"What you watching?" the blonde asked looking up at Olivia's television.
"I have no idea, some show. I don't really watch that much television during the day," Olivia replied. The doctor nodded and injected the meds into Olivia's drip. "So, doctor, is there a Mr. Cabot?" Olivia asked.
"There was, but he died when I was 7," the doctor replied smiling.
"I mean…" Olivia started but the woman in white stopped her.
"I know what you meant, am I married?"
Olivia nodded.
"No, I'm not. I was but we got a divorce," the doctor replied.
"Kids?"
The doctor nodded again, "two boys. Jake aged 4 and Dylan aged 2."
"Wow. They would keep you on your toes," Olivia said.
"Nah, there pretty good," the doctor replied. "How about you detective? Married, kids?"
"Me? No. Elliot's the one with the kids," Olivia replied.
"Yeah I know, I've see them."
"Really?"
"Yes, I saw his daughter and son," Doctor Cabot replied.
"That would have been the twins, Elizabeth and Dickie."
The doctor laughed, "Dickie?"
"That's his nickname. His real name is Richard," Olivia replied smiling. "You have a beautiful laugh, doctor," she said.
"The meds are kicking in."
"No, it's true," Olivia replied grabbing the doctor hand. Both of them jumped when they felt a spark and the sound of the doctor's pager. Olivia let her hand go and watched as the doctor grabbed the black beeping device,
"Shoot, I got to go," she said backing from the brunette.
"Wait," Olivia called. The doctor turned around, "what's your name?" she asked.
"It's Alex," the doctor said and exited the room.
Olivia smiled as she looked at the closed door; she knew something special was going to happen with Doctor Alex Cabot.
