Chapter 11
Elliot jumped off of the couch so quickly that he threw Olivia to the floor. "Ouch! Elliot! What's wrong?" she asked after she had picked herself up.
"They need us at the hospital." he said quickly.
"What for?" Olivia asked. She was very worried that something was wrong with Will.
"I'm not sure, I didn't ask. They just told me that they needed us at the hospital now."
"Well lets go then!" she said and went to grab her purse and keys off of the counter. "You go get Lilli, I'll get your stuff." she said and grabbed his things off of the counter before throwing them in her purse. Then she ran out the door to find Greenly. She called her name three times and then she came running over.
"What is it, momma?" she asked worriedly.
"We have to get to the hospital. Did Mrs. Carter come and get Laney yet?" she asked her daughter.
"Yeah. They left like five minutes ago. Is something wrong with Will?" Greenly could feel the tears coming to her eyes at the thought of something being wrong with her brother.
"I don't know yet baby. Come on, let's get in the car and your Dad and sister will be out in a minute. Right after the words left her mouth, Elliot came running from the house with a sleeping Lilli in his arms. They all get into the SUV and Elliot drove them to the hospital as fast as he could without his siren.
When they finally got there Elliot let his girls out and went to park the car. He parked it and ran as fast as he could into the hospital. When he got to the elevator Olivia, Greenly, and Lilli were still waiting for it to come down. It took a few moments, but it finally got there and they all rushed in. Olivia quickly pushed the button and the elevator went up to the pediatrics floor.
Before the doors could even open all the way they were all out of the elevator. "Jenny, what's up with Will?" Olivia asked after she had gotten to the nurse's desk.
"He's awake!" Jenny exclaimed happily. Will had been her patient for almost a month and he had a special place in her heart.
"Really?" Olivia exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes! Really!" Jenny laughed. "Now go see your little boy." she said and that's all they needed to hear.
Walking into Will's room they saw him sitting up in the middle of his bed looking extremely confused but when he spotted his family his face lit up. "Mommy! Daddy! Greenly! Lilli!" he exclaimed happily.
"Will!" Lilli squealed. She had missed her twin so much and she was definitely the most excited to have him awake. She squirmed out of her mother's arms and over to her twin's bed.
"Lilli!" he squealed back with just as much excitement in his voice.
"Uppie, Mommy!" she demanded when she figured out that she couldn't get up there herself.
Olivia walked over and lifted her little girl up on the bed with her brother, then they all gathered around the hospital be to see the little boy that they had all been missing so much.
A few minutes later Jenny walked in. "When can we take him home, Jenny?" Elliot asked the woman who had been with his son from the beginning.
"Well we are running some tests now to make sure everything is okay and if they all come back good then you guys can hopefully take him home in a day or two." Jenny informed them with a smile on her face.
"That's great!" Olivia said with happiness evident in her voice.
"Yes, it is. Now I'm gonna go and let you guys spend some time with your little boy." Jenny said to them before exiting the room.
Elliot and Olivia turned around to see their three children sitting on the bed together, all with the biggest smiles on their faces.
Elliot put his hand on the small of Olivia's back and guided her over to the bed for some much needed family time.
They stayed there for hours, just laughing and joking and spending time with their son. When Elliot finally looked at his watch he saw that it was almost nine o'clock. Visiting hours were over and Will was almost asleep.
"Hey, Liv?" he whispered. "Do you want me to go ask the nurse if one of us can stay here with Will tonight?"
"Um, I asked when I went to the bathroom a few minutes ago. She said that one of us was welcome to stay. Do you want to stay or should I?"
"Why don't we call Fin and see if he will watch the girls?" he suggested.
"Okay, I'll step outside and call him. Why don't you go sing to Lilli and get her to sleep?"
"Alright." he said and went over to get his youngest daughter. He picked her up and started singing their song. (A/N: I have no idea what the song should be and nobody gave me any input so...)
After he finished Olivia walked back in the room. She smiled when she saw both of her twins asleep. "He said he'd be here in ten." she whispered to Elliot and he nodded, letting her know that he heard.
"Greenly?" she said to her oldest daughter and then continued, "You and Lilli are going to stay with Uncle Fin tonight and your Daddy and I are going to stay here."
"Kay." Greenly said never looking up from her phone. Olivia just shook her head and smiled.
Ten minutes later their was a knock at the door and then it was opened and Fin entered the room. "Hey, Fin." Olivia greeted as she stood up.
"Hey babygirl." he replied, giving her a hug. "Hey El, Greenly."
"Hey, Fin." "Hey, Uncle Fin." came their replies at the same time.
"How's lil man doin'?" he asked.
"As well as can be expected, I guess." Olivia answered.
"Well, at least he's awake. Tell him that Uncle Fin and Uncle Munch are coming to see him tomorrow."
"Okay, Fin, we will. Thank you so much for keeping the girls tonight." Elliot said from his spot on the other side of the room.
"I'm happy to keep them, they are my babygirl juniors." Fin said causing everyone in the room that was still awake to laugh. "Well, I guess we should get going. Come on Greenly, let's go." he called to the teenager sitting on the other side of the room. Then he went to get Lilli from Elliot and, after saying their goodbyes, they headed out.
When the door closed Olivia turned to Elliot and smiled. "He's awake. Our little boy is finally awake." she said with a sigh of relief.
"I know." Elliot smiled back. "Now, come and sit with me." he said and held out his arms. Olivia happily walked over and planted herself on his lap. He reclined the uncomfortable hospital chair and then wrapped his arms around her and they both just sat there, enjoying the feeling of being in each others arms again.
After a few minutes Elliot spoke. "So, what is the plan for Greenly's birthday in two days?" he asked. He had been at work a lot lately so he hadn't helped Olivia plan anything.
"I honestly don't think that she even realizes that her birthday is only two days away. She didn't mention anything about it but we both know how much she hates to have big celebrations for her birthday. If Will gets to come home then I will see if Casey can stay with him and Lilli while we take her out. She and Landon have been wanting to see Grown Ups 2 so I called him and asked him to come with us and then after the movie we can go and eat wherever she wants then head home. I know the squad will want to see her so I'll we'll take her to the precinct before the movie." Olivia informed him.
"Landon?" Elliot asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, Landon." Olivia sighed. "El, that boy is her best friend and that's not gonna change no matter how much you want it to."
"Yeah well he's a teenage boy and she's my little girl." he pointed out.
"Okay, first of all they are best friends, nothing more, you and I both know that. Second of all they are the same age. And third of all Landon is the most respective and responsible teenage boy I know and he would do anything to protect Greenly. She told me herself that he was the only person she could talk to back when everything was going on and he listened and helped her out. They have been best friend for four years and you still haven't accepted it but you're going to have to accept it sometime because they are good for each other."
"Yeah, I know. It's just the fact that they might end up like us. It's possible that they will fall in love like we did and they might end up married, then there is the possibility that something will happen and my baby will get hurt. I know she's not a baby anymore but it's hard to see her growing up. It wasn't this hard with my other girls." he said as he played with her hair.
"That's probably because when they were growing up you were still trying to make detective and you weren't around for all of it, it just kind of happened." Olivia said. She knew that he regretted not being around for his first four kids and that's why he tried a lot harder with Greenly, Lilli, and Will.
"Yeah, I guess your right." he said while looking at the ground. Then he thought about something. "Hey, what if Will doesn't get to come home?"
"Then we will eat take-out and give her presents here and let her celebrate another day." Olivia stated.
"Sounds like a plan."
"Yeah." Olivia said and Elliot could tell by the tone of her voice that she had something on her mind.
"What's on your mind, baby?" he asked. It felt so good to be able to call her that again.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to tell the kids or not." she told him. "I mean I know that the twins won't understand but I think that Greenly would like to know."
"I think that she would too. Do you want to tell her tomorrow?" he suggested.
"Yeah. I think that's a great idea." she said with a yawn.
"Okay then. What do you say we get some sleep?" he asked the woman in his lap and she nodded while trying to stifle another yawn. Elliot reached over and grabbed the thin hospital blanket off the back of the chair and then turned off the lamp that was shedding light on the small room. He reclined the chair the rest of the way back and they both made themselves as comfortable as possible.
"I love you, Liv." Elliot whispered in her ear and then kissed her cheek.
"Love you too." she replied and leaned up to kiss him on the mouth.
