Friday came quicker than anyone wanted. Casey was nervous, but excited about the surgery, and Liv was with her every step of the way. She had missed Bob because both of them had to work late a lot this week, but she was loving being able to care for Casey. As Casey woke up at 5:30 in the morning, Liv was already up and ready to serve her. She couldn't believe how nice Olivia was being.

"Liv my god, when did you get up? I thought I would for sure beat you today!"

"I was up at 5. I wanted to make you breakfast and to make sure you ate. Now eat up. I've got some great fruit salad here for you, and I made you some oatmeal."

Casey ate up. This was all really delicious, and gave her the strength she needed for surgery. She waddled into the bathroom and got in the shower, and then was ready to go. Olivia had already packed a bag for her (which she was thrilled to do. It was the first time she had touched Casey's bras and underwear and hoped to do so again) and was waiting for her with the door open.

"You're so good to me," Casey said intently.

"Case, please. I'm just being a friend. You'd do the same thing for me."

The two headed into Olivia's car where they drove to the hospital. While they sat in the waiting room, Olivia held Casey's hand the entire time until they called her. When the doctors were ready for her, Olivia gave Casey's hand one last squeeze and then gave her an innocent kiss on the cheek.

"everything's going to be fine," the brunette said.

As Olivia waited, the suspense was killing her. She couldn't imagine having to do this again, but she knew she had to. She just wanted things to be OK, and for Casey to be ok. She couldn't really do a whole lot with her wrist stabilized. She couldn't write or type or throw or anything, so she was very limited in the work that she could do. Hopefully after all of this she was able to get back into the office, at least on a part time basis. Olivia sat and worried even more, especially when she saw Dr. Hirschbeck approach her.

"Olivia, the surgery went fine. She's resting and doing well. If you'd like, you can see her in a few minutes."

"I would certainly like that." Olivia didn't realize it, but she was in a full on embrace with Dr. Hirschbeck. She had given her a huge hug when she told her that Casey was doing well.

"Wow detective. Is Casey your lover or girlfriend or something?"

"Well, no. But it's complicated. She's my best friend."


"How are you feeling?" Olivia asked, looking directly into Casey's beautiful emerald eyes and stroking her long red hair.

"Not too bad. A little groggy, but it's amazing seeing your beautiful face," Casey answered.

"Well you look amazing, especially for someone whose just had surgery. You really are beautiful Casey."

Casey smiled. She loved that Olivia was here with her, and that she was the first person that she saw.

"Olivia, can you do me a favor? It's really selfish of me to ask though…."

"Anything," the brunette replied.

"Stay?"

"Of course Casey. I was just texting Bob now. Of course I'll stay with you."
