There's a few things you need to know before reading this story:

Calvin was 6 years old when Vivian left him with Olivia, Vivian never returned and Olivia legally adopted Calvin shortly after his 7th birthday. Calvin began calling Olivia "Mama" and "Mom" after the first couple of months of staying with her. Calvin is now 8 years old.

Olivia is 38, Elliot and Kathy are 42. Maureen is 24, Kathleen is 22, Lizzie and Dickie are 17. Elliot and Kathy's reconciliation never happened; Lizzie and Dickie are their youngest children. Eli does NOT exist… yet. If I decide to bring Eli into this story, Kathy will NOT be his mother.

Elliot and Kathy have been divorced for 10 years. It was an amicable divorce; they have remained friends and co-parents. Olivia and Kathy are friends and always have been. This is a first for me… actually writing Kathy as a good guy and not as a jealous shrew! Lol!

Olivia and Elliot began dating about a year after his divorce. They've been married for a few months. Elliot is in the process of adopting Calvin; he started the process right after he and Olivia got married. His adoption of Calvin is only days away from being complete. Calvin is close to Elliot; he's not to the point of calling Elliot "Dad" yet, but he's almost there.

Chapter One

"Look Calvin," the carpool driver said as she pulled into the driveway in front of Olivia's house.

"Hey! My mom's home early today!" Calvin exclaimed excitedly when he looked up and saw Olivia's car parked in the driveway instead of his babysitter's car. "Thanks for the ride, Mrs. Wright."

"You're welcome," the driver smiled. "Be sure to remind your mom that tomorrow morning is her turn to drive carpool to school."

"I will!" Calvin replied as he opened the door and slid out of the black SUV. He turned back and looked in the vehicle at his friend. "Hey, Kyle. Don't forget our solar system models are due tomorrow!"

Kyle nodded with a sheepish grin. "Oh yeah, I had already forgot!"

Calvin laughed then closed the door and ran up the driveway to the front door. After using the house key that hung from a ball chain around his neck, he stepped inside and turned back to wave, assuring Mrs. Wright that he was safely inside.

The carpool pulled out of the driveway with a single honk of the horn and drove away.

Calvin closed the door behind him and locked the handle. "Mom?" he called as he shrugged out of his backpack and jacket. Receiving no answer, he dropped his things on the couch and headed towards the back of the house. "Mom!" he called a little louder. Seeing the light on in the master bedroom, he jogged down the hall. "You're home early!"

He turned into the bedroom and skidded to a stop when he found her laying face down on the floor. Her body was adjacent to the door, with hair completely covering her face. "Mom?" he whispered, fear tainting his words. Receiving no response, he rushed toward her. "Mom!" he yelled as he dropped down on his knees beside her. He grabbed her arm with both of his hands and shook her. "Mom! Wake up!" His heart began to race so fast he was sure it would pound right out of his chest. He shook her again, "Mama! Please!"

He reached over with a trembling hand and gently pushed her hair away from her face. Her eyes were closed and her face was pale. Calvin quickly crawled around to her other side; then still kneeling, he leaned over her and took ahold of her arm on the far side. He leaned backwards, using all of his strength to roll her over onto her back. Tears filled his eyes as he gently brushed her hair away from her face again. "Wake up, Mama. Please wake up," he begged quietly. He couldn't believe how pale her face was; he had never seen anyone so pale.

Crying freely now, Calvin reached down to Olivia's waist, where he knew her cell phone would be clipped to her belt. He grabbed the phone and quickly hit speed dial number 1.

At a crime scene with Fin and Melinda, Elliot glanced down at his cell phone as it rang. He smiled when he saw his wife's name on his caller ID. He hit the button and brought the phone up to his ear. "Hi baby. I'm at a scene right now. Can I call you back?"

"She won't wake up! She won't wake up!" Calvin's voice flooded through the phone line.

"What? Calvin?" Elliot frown in confusion, shocked to hear the young boy sobbing.

"She won't wake up!" the panic was clear in Calvin's voice as he spoke rapidly. "Home… but sleep… floor… can't… up…" he inhaled sharply, unable to form a coherent sentence.

"Whoa… whoa… slow down buddy… I can't understand what you're saying," Elliot forced himself to speak calmly even though panic surged in his chest.

"I don't know what to do!" Calvin sobbed into the phone.

Elliot stepped away from the others at the crime scene and spoke encouragingly. "Take a breath, kiddo. Tell me where you are."

Calvin drew in a ragged breath before answering. "Home… I just got home from school and Mama won't wake up!"

"Where is she?"

"On the floor in your bedroom…"

"On the floor?"

"Y… Y… Yeah," the boy stuttered through his tears. "I don't know what to do!" he sobbed again.

"Ok, shhh…" Elliot continued forcing himself to speak calmly, trying to calm Calvin as well. "I'm on my way. I'll be right there, ok?"

"Should I call 911?"

Elliot thought for a few seconds before answering. "No, I can get there faster than they can. I'm not far away."

"Hurry…" Calvin's voice shook as he pleaded with the man who was the closest thing he had ever had to a dad. "Please hurry!"

"I will," Elliot promised before hanging up and shoving his cell phone in his pocket. He rushed back over to Fin and Melinda. "I gotta go. Call Munch to help you finish up here."

"What's wrong?" Fin asked, a frown marring his face.

"I dunno…" Elliot sighed and rubbed his face with both hands. "That was Calvin. Apparently, he just got home from school and found Liv passed out on the floor in our bedroom." He nervously pulled his car keys from his pocket, trying to keep his hands from shaking.

"What?" Melinda gasped in surprise. "I know she hasn't been feeling very good, but I had no clue it was this serious!"

"Same here. I really have to go… I gotta get Liv to the hospital," he turned and started to hurry away.

"Take her to Mercy General!" Melinda called after him. "I'll meet you in the ER!"
