Last time:
That night Olivia was lying in bed with Laila, asleep on Elliot's side of the bed. Olivia was holding a framed photo of her, Elliot and Laila. It was a professionally done family portrait taken in black and white.
Olivia and Laila were wearing matching Lavender purple satin dresses and Elliot was wearing black pants and a white shirt.
Olivia caressed the photo and held back rebellious tears.
"Goodnight, El. I love you." She whispered to the photo before putting it down.
She then turned off the bedside lamp and went to sleep.
In Boston, Elliot was lying in his bed, holding one of the colour shots of the photo that Olivia was holding.
He kissed it. "Goodnight my girls. I love you." He whispered before putting the photo under his pillow.
He then turned off his bedside lamp and drifted off to sleep.
-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-
Olivia woke the next morning to Laila jumping up and down on the bed.
"Honey, please stop that. You're making Mommy sick." Olivia whispered half asleep.
Laila stopped instantly and sat down beside her. "Sorry, Mommy."
Olivia was planning on going back to sleep when someone began to bang on the door.
"Stay here, baby." Olivia whispered and slowly got up.
Olivia opened the door to find Matthew.
"Well Elliot isn't here to protect you this time."
"Go away!" Olivia yelled and tried to shut the door but Matthew put his foot in the door, pushing it open.
Olivia wasn't strong enough to stop him from grabbing her.
"Let go of me, you bastard!" She yelled as she kicked in an attempt to get him to let go but he had a very tight grip on her.
He punched her in the face causing her to yelp in pain.
"Ow! Please stop!" She begged, trying to protect her and her unborn child.
"Shut up! He shouted before kicking her in the chest, really hard.
He the grabbed the lamp from beside the couch, smashing it in to her head.
The last thing Olivia heard was police sirens and Matthew's evil laugh. Her last thought was of Laila.
-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-
Laila heard her mother yelling so she got off the bed and grabbed her little step thing that she used to reach the toilet. She locked the bedroom door, grabbed her mother's cell phone from beside the bed and pressed speed dial 'two' for Casey.
Her mother would be proud of her for doing what she was taught to do in an emergency.
"Liv?" Casey answered.
"Auntie Casey?"
"What's wrong, Laila?"
"Mommy being hurt."
"Ok, sweetie. Are you locked up safe in Mommy's bedroom?"
"Yes."
"Ok, stay here. I'm calling 9-1-1, honey. Don't hung up because I'm calling on my office phone."
"'k, Auntie Casey." Laila replied as she curled up in a corner as far as possible from the door.
She could still hear her mother screaming and begging before it went silent all of a sudden.
"Help is on the way, Laila. Can you still hear, Mommy?" Casey asked in concern as she rushed out of her office.
"No. Mommy gone quiet." Laila replied quietly before she heard footsteps coming closer and closer. "Me scared, Auntie Casey."
"I know, sweetie. I know. Help should be there any minute."
The bedroom door began to jiggle, scaring the three year old even more.
A big crash was then heard before a very familiar, soft voice was heard through the door.
"Laila, it's Mommy. Unlock the door, honey."
Laila dropped the cell phone and unlocked the door.
The door opened and Laila saw her mother stumble in with a puffed up red right eye, a bloody nose, and she was holding her ribs.
"Mommy!" Laila called out and ran up to her.
"Woah! Careful, baby girl. Mommy is in pain." She said softly.
"Mommy, blood." Laila said in shock.
"Where?" Olivia asked in confusion.
"There." Laila said, pointing in between her legs.
Olivia looked down. "Shit." She muttered before hearing the front door being kicked in.
Four uniforms officers, Fin, Cragen and two EMTs ran in.
"Liv!" Fin called out and ran over to her as Cragen picked up Laila.
"I feel faint." She whispered, looking a little pale before sliding down toward the floor but Fin lifted her up.
"We gotta get her to a hospital right now!!" Fin yelled and the EMTs ran in while the uniformed officers took a now conscious Matthew out, promising to take him to the prison hospital ward.
-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-
Four hours later, Fin, Casey, Munch and Cragen were sitting in the waiting room, waiting for any news on Olivia's condition.
Laila was looked over by the emergency paedatrician and Casey was told that she was in perfect health so Laila was now sitting on Casey's lap, after being named a little hero.
"Casey Novak?" A short, bigger statured woman with red hair, green eyes and silver rimmed oval glasses asked.
"Yes?" Casey replied, standing up with Laila on her hip.
"I'm Dr Bethany Piper. Come with me, please.
Casey followed the doctor down some random halls till they came to a stop in front of a door with room 27B on the door.
"Is Olivia alright?"
Dr Piper sighed. "She suffered a concussion, two broken ribs one of which punctured her right lung but we managed to repair it and a broken nose."
"The baby?"
"I'm sorry but I'm afraid that she miscarried."
"How far along was she?"
"Nearly three months. You can go in now, she's conscious."
Casey nodded. "Thanks." She replied before walking in to see Olivia looking majorly depressed, just staring out the window.
"Hey Liv." Casey spoke softly before sitting in the chair beside the hospital bed.
Olivia turned around to look at her. Casey could see her silent tears. "Hey...I guess you heard that I lost the baby." She spoke in a sad whisper.
Casey nodded, sadly and placed Laila on bed.
Laila curled up to her mother. "I love you, Mommy. It be ok."
Olivia sighed and rubbed her young daughter's back. "Yeah. I love you too." She replied simply.
Once Laila drifted off to sleep, still curled up in to Olivia's side, Casey decided to speak to break the uncomfortable silence that filled the hospital room.
"Laila is one smart little girl. She called me when she heard you getting hurt."
"I taught her to call you in an emergency. All she needs to do is grab my cell and press speed dial 'two'. I wasn't sure if she would remember. I'm very proud of her." She whispered the last sentence as she looked down at Laila and rubbed her back.
"Elliot would be proud of her as well, if he was here."
Olivia looked up at her best friend and sighed. "Yeah, he would be. I miss him so much."
"I know, Liv. We all do." Casey whispered and caressed Olivia's arm.
A tall blonde haired female nurse walked in, she only looked like a new nurse straight out of nursing school. "Don't mind me, just got to check your vitals, Miss Benson." She said and recorded Olivia's vitals.
"Your blood pressure is still a little high. Dr Piper should be here in about half an hour for rounds and if it's still a little high, she will give you something to lower it."
Olivia nodded. "Thanks."
"Wow, is that your daughter?" She asked, referring to the mini version of Olivia, sound asleep beside her, sucking her thumb.
"Yeah."
"She's so cute. What's her name?"
"Laila."
"Wow, what a sweet name. I've got to go. See you again soon." She said with a smile and left.
"Liv, would you like me to take Laila for the night?" Casey asked cautiously. "Remember she has spare clothes at my apartment."
"Is Matthew in custody?"
Casey nodded. "Yes, awaiting arraignment so Laila will be safe."
Olivia nodded. "Ok, thanks but could you bring her back in the morning on your way to work?"
"Sure, Liv. No problem."
"Thanks so much."
About half an hour later Dr Piper walked in.
"Sorry, you'll have to leave now, Miss Novak."
"Ok." She replied as she stood before she picked up Laila, who woke in the process.
"Mommy." She spoke half asleep with silent tears in her eyes.
Casey turned the toddler to face her mother and sat her back down on the bed.
Olivia gave her a hug to calm her down. "It's ok, baby. You need to stay with Auntie Casey for the night. Mommy will see you in the morning, ok?" Olivia whispered and wiped away the toddler's tears.
Laila nodded. "Ok, Mommy."
"Good girl. I love you." She said and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Love you too, Mommy." Laila replied and let Casey pick her up again.
"Bye Liv."
"Bye Case. Thanks again."
"No problem." Casey replied and walked out with Laila on her hip.
