Chapter 10

Olivia woke up to see her dad sleeping in what looked like a very uncomfortable position in the chair next to her bedside. She felt guilty for everything that had happened, after all Nicole was her mother. She got up out of bed feeling better now she was in her own pyjamas and not the hideous hospital gown. She took one of her pillows and placed it gently underneath her dad's head. She heard a tap on the door and Vivian and Jack came in.

"Hey" she said smiling

"Hey. You look much better. How you feeling?" Viv asked

"Pretty good considering"

"They know when you'll be able to go home yet?" Jack asked

"Probably today but the doctor hasn't came round yet"

"I see he's keeping you entertained" Viv said laughing nodding towards Danny

"Yeah I know but he's so cute when he's sleeping. He's had a rough few days" she said looking at him

"He'll be ok. It's Danny" Jack said smirking

"Yeah I guess. So is Marty better yet?"

"Nope. Still milking it according to Sam"

"It's probably just an excuse to stay in bed all day and watch the X Files"

Jack and Vivian laughed. After about 20 minutes they decided to get going.

"Well we'll let you get some rest. Feel better" Vivian said giving her a hug

Jack kissed her head and then followed Vivian out the door.

Olivia turned to look at her dad and couldn't help but laugh. His head had rolled forward onto the top of his arm. She stood up again and gently lifted his head back onto the pillow.

Danny slowly opened his eyes and saw Olivia standing in front of him.

"Hey sweetie. Are you ok?"

"I'm fine" she replied

Danny noticed he had a pillow under his head that wasn't there before

"I just didn't want you to get a sore neck" she said motioning towards the pillow

Danny held out his arms and Olivia sat in his lap. She rested her head on his shoulder.

"Are you ok? I mean about everything with your mom."

"I guess. I just don't know what to think"

"It's ok to be upset you know. Despite everything she was still your mom" Danny said stroking her hair

"I think I'll be ok. I was always a daddy's girl anyway."

Danny laughed lightly, glad that she had accepted what happened

The doctor came in and told her that she could go home after Danny signed a few forms. She got dressed and gathered all her stuff together. They got in the car and headed home.

"I can't wait to get home and sleep in my own bed" Olivia said as she flicked through the radio stations every once in a while

"Can't you keep it on one station" Danny whined

"But they're boring when they talk and you don't have any decent CD's in the car"

"Are you trying to say something about my taste in music?" Danny asked raising his eyebrows at her

"No I couldn't because you have no taste" she replied smirking

"That's ok. You're gonna have to listen to it for the next week anyway."

"Oh god. Heaven help me."

"Even the big man won't help you with that one"

"It'll be quite good actually. I mean we don't really get to spend a lot of time together." She said looking out the window

"I know" Danny said smiling as he parked the car outside their apartment.
