Chapter 12
The next day Fin dropped the girls off at the hospital before he headed back to work. He was running late so he dropped them off at the front and told Greenly to text when they made it up. Greenly took her little sister's hand and they walked into the hospital. When they made it to Will's room both of their parents and Will were still asleep but what surprised Greenly was that her Mom was in her Dad's lap in the hospital chair and they were holding hands.
Smiling, she picked up her sister who was still half asleep and laid her on the wide chair that was in the corner of the room. Lilli immediately closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Greenly smiled at her sister and then walked over to the table beside Will's bed and picked up the bottle of water that her mom was drinking the night before. She walked quietly over to the chair that her her parents were sleeping on and stood behind it and opened the bottle of water and, with a smile on her face, poured some water in Elliot's ear.
Startled, he jumped up and Olivia almost fell off of his lap. "What the-" he said and then heard his daughter's laughs. "Little girl," he said when she had finished laughing "if your Mom wasn't on my lap right now you would so be dead."
"You better be glad you didn't throw me in the floor again or I would have killed you before you had the chance to kill her. On the other hand, since somebody almost got me thrown in the floor, I think that I should just stand up." Olivia said with a smirk towards her daughter.
"What? No, Momma, that's not necessary." she said and started backing away when her mom got out of the chair.
"Liv, door." Elliot said and Olivia sped over to stand in front of the door.
"Mom! Your suppose to take my side." she said and then noticed that Elliot was getting up. "Come on, it was just a joke." she said but Elliot continued to walk towards her. "I love you. Daddy." she whimpered and kept walking backwards until she hit the wall.
Elliot just smiled and closed the space between them. He lifted her up and then laid her on the ground and started to tickle her. "Daddy, stop! I give! Stop it!" she said, out of breath. When he stopped all three of them were laughing hysterically and had woken up the twins. Greenly caught her breath and then took the hand Elliot was offering to help her up.
"Look, you woke up your brother and sister. Nice going, babe." Olivia laughed.
"Hey! It's not all my fault!" she said look towards Elliot.
"And who poured the water in my ear?" he asked with a smile.
She started to say something back but was interrupted by somebody knocking on the door. When it opened, Jenny walked in. "Morning, guys. Just came to tell you that Will's tests came back normal and you can take him home anytime you want. Make sure that he doesn't do to much and gets lots of rest. If anything seems wrong bring him back right away and you will need to make an appointment for a check up." informed him.
A smile broke out on both Elliot and Olivia's faces. "Thank you so much, Jenny. You have been a great nurse and we couldn't have asked for anything more." Olivia told the woman that she had grown considerably close to in the last few weeks.
"You are very welcome." she smiled. "When you guys get ready to sign him out the papers are ready at the front desk. I have to go check on my other patients now but, you have my number, don't be a stranger." she said to Olivia.
"I won't. Bye. Thank you for everything!" Olivia said with a smile. She was overjoyed that her son was finally getting to come home.
An hour and a half later, everything was packed up, the release forms were signed, and they were all ready to take Will home. Elliot carried his youngest twins out of the hospital and down to the car, followed by the woman he loved and their oldest child. They got into the SUV and Elliot drove them to their house.
When they got there they spent time being a family, watching movies, playing games, and enjoying having the missing member of their family home.
At 3:30 it was time for Will and Lilli to take a nap. Elliot and Olivia put them both down together.
"Hey, El?" Olivia asked when they had made it downstairs.
"Yeah?" he said and sat down on the couch.
"Can we tell Greenly now?" she asked and plopped down on his lap.
He grunted and jokingly asked her what she had been eating before kissing her cheek and wrapping his arms around her waist. "Let's tell her." he said after a moment of silence.
"Okay. Go find her." Olivia said with a laugh.
"But I don't wanna!" Elliot fake whined but lightly pushed her up off his lap and went outside to find his daughter."
He found her outside swinging and talking on the phone. When she looked up and saw her father approaching her, Greenly told the person on the other end of the phone that she had to go and hung up.
"Who was that?" Elliot asked when he made it over to the swing set.
"Landon." she answered, getting off of the swing.
"What did he want?" he asked and Greenly rolled her eyes.
"He just wanted to talk, Daddy. That's what friends do." she told him.
Deciding to drop the subject, Elliot told her to come inside.
"Why?" she asked.
"Your Mom and I need to tell you something." he said and walked back to the house followed by his daughter. They went into the house and Elliot sat down on the end of the couch opposite of Olivia and Greenly stood up.
"What did you guys need to tell me?" she asked them.
"Well your mother and I wanted to tell you that we have decided to start seeing each other again." Elliot said, nervous about how his daughter would react.
She was speechless. Had she heard them right? Were her parents really back together? When she finally found her voice she stuttered "R-really?"
"Yes." they both said at the same time.
"That's great!" she said excitedly and her parents were relieved that she was happy.
