Chapter 4- Out of danger, but not out of the woods
Don looked like a father who just found out his daughter was hurt. He thought of Olivia as his own flesh and blood. Munch and Fin were comforting Casey and Alex who were anxious because they wanted to know that their best friend was okay. Casey and Alex sat in the two chairs beside Elliot and the 3 men stood in front of them. Don spoke first.
"Elliot, any news?"
"Yeah." Elliot replied and filled them in on what the Nurse had said.
"So basically, we gotta sit here and pray Baby Girl will be okay." Fin replied softly.
Elliot nodded and the gang was silent. The only noise was the Nurse's coming and going and attending to Patients.
After 6 hours of going to get coffee and returning to wait for news on Liv, the Surgeon appeared from the theatre, taking of his gloves and walking toward the gang. Elliot leapt off the chair to meet the Surgeon.
"How is she?" he asked anxiously.
The surgeon smiled, "We managed to stop all of the internal bleeding Miss Benson had and I'm certain she will make a full recovery. We're taking her up to recovery now. In a few days time, we'll take her back to surgery to rebuild her leg."
Elliot almost jumped on the Surgeon to hug him. He was so grateful they had saved her life. "Thank You so much Doctor!" Elliot replied. He felt like the World had been lifted of his shoulders. "When can we see her?"
"As soon as we have her settled in recovery. She will wake up in a few hours when the anaesthetic wears off."
The rest of the gang were so happy that Olivia was out of danger. Unfortunately, they got called away on a case, but said they would drop by later and see her.
Elliot was taken up to the next level of the hospital to the recovery ward. The Nurse told him where Olivia's room was and he thanked the Nurse and made his way there. He had stopped by the Hospital gift shop and picked up some Orchids for Olivia because they were her favourite flower.
He stopped outside her room and peered at her through the glass. She looked so peaceful lying there. He felt a tear run down his cheek, but he quickly wiped it away.
He went inside and put the flowers in a vase on the table at the end of the bed. He filled a glass with some water in the small bathroom in the room and poured the water into the vase. He sat down in the seat beside Olivia's bed and smiled. He took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.
"Liv, I'm glad your okay."
He leaned over and gently kissed her forehead.
He rested his forearms on his knees and sat up straight as he continued to hold Liv's hand, patiently waiting for her to wake up. Elliot moved his chair parallel to Olivia's bed and rested his head beside her hand.
