Dr Mitchell took a deep breath as she sat beside Olivia and Elliot. "Melody should make a full recovery but I am afraid that the baby didn't make it"
"Oh my God" Olivia sobbed in to Elliot's shoulder.
He sighed and gently rubbed soothing circles on Olivia's back. "Is she awake?" Elliot asked Dr Mitchell.
Dr Mitchell nodded. "Yes, she is. She's asking for you, Olivia"
She nodded in to Elliot's shoulder.
"Stop beating yourself up, honey" Elliot whispered in Olivia's ear, knowing she was still blaming herself since Melody went off looking for her.
She moved her head off of his shoulder and looked in to his big blue eyes. "El….is it alright if I speak to her privately just for a few minutes. I think it is time that she knew about Caleb"
Elliot nodded and kissed her gently on the lips. "Of course, babe. I'll just go grab a drink. You want one?"
She nodded. "A bottle of orange juice would be nice" she replied before finally getting off of his lap.
"Ok, Liv. I love you" he said and kissed her on the cheek before walking away.
----------------------------------------------
Olivia slowly walked down to the room that she was told that Melody was in. Room 35. The door was closed, so she put her hand on the handle and slowly opened the door. She found Melody sitting up on the bed with red, puffy eyes from crying as well as her injuries from the car accident. She had nasty cut on her head, just above her right eye stitched up; she had a cut lip and a broken left arm as well as bruises on her face and arms.
"Mom, don't even think about blaming yourself" Melody said softly but firmly, bringing her mother out of her deep thoughts.
Olivia walked over to the bed and took her daughter's hand in hers. "Yes, I am blaming myself because it is my fault, Mel. If I hadn't of run off, you wouldn't have been looking for me which would mean you wouldn't have been in the car accident"
Melody sighed and kissed her mother's hand. "Mom, it's fine. Not your fault. Please stop beating yourself up. I love you, mom and nothing's gonna change that"
Olivia began to cry again, which confused Melody.
"Mom, what's going on? Are you alright?" Melody asked her voice full of concern for her mother.
Olivia took a deep breath and composed herself. "Honey, I did get pregnant at nineteen"
"Really?"
Olivia nodded. "Yes. I gave birth to the most gorgeous baby boy"
"So where's my big brother?"
Olivia looked down in to her lap and held back her tears. "He died in my arms when he was only three months old. His name was Caleb"
"Oh mom. I'm so sorry. How old were you when you had me then?"
Olivia looked up at her daughter again. "I fell pregnant with you about a year later. I was twenty-one when you were born though"
Melody tried to move closer to her mother to give her a hug, but winced in pain.
"Careful, honey" Olivia spoke softly, as she got up on to the bed beside her daughter and then wrapped her arms around her in a hug.
"Does Elliot know about Caleb?" Melody asked, resting her head on her mother's shoulder.
"Yeah he does, Honey. I told him in the waiting room. I wanted to tell you first, but he wouldn't leave me alone until I told him"
"That's alright, mom. You don't have to tell me everything first"
Olivia kissed her daughter on the cheek. "Yes I do, you're my daughter. You always come first"
Melody smiled. "What about yourself?"
"Trust me, honey, you come before me"
Melody nodded and the room was filled with silence until Elliot knocked on the door.
"Is it safe to enter, ladies?"
"Come on in, El" Olivia said, smiling.
Elliot returned the smile and stared in to Olivia's gorgeous chocolate brown eyes as he sat in the chair beside the bed.
"So how are you feeling, Mel?" Elliot asked as he passed Olivia her bottle of juice.
"Sore, but alright" Melody replied as she took the other bottle of juice that Elliot was offering her. "Thanks"
"No problem. I hope you are like your mother and like orange juice"
Melody nodded and smiled. "I got all my mother's best qualities"
Olivia smiled and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks honey. What are you asking for?" she joked.
Melody laughed and playfully and gently slapped her mother on the arm. "I'm not asking for anything"
"You're a big bully though" Olivia playfully pouted.
Elliot was just content with watching the mother and daughter fool around.
As time drifted on, Melody was getting tired so Olivia held her daughter as she drifted off to sleep, once she knew that she was out like a light, she gently dislodged herself from Melody's tight grip and got off the bed.
"Ready to go home?" Elliot asked when he saw a yawn escape Olivia.
She nodded and took his hand as they walked out of Melody's hospital room
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the car as Elliot drove, Olivia leaned her head on the passenger side window with her eyes closed but wasn't asleep. Elliot knew she wasn't since he knew the difference in her breathing from when she was awake and when she was asleep.
"Liv?"
"Yeah, El?" she responded with her eyes still closed.
"Is Mel's baby alright?"
Olivia sighed and opened her eyes. "I'm afraid not, El. The baby didn't make it" she replied. "And it's all my fault" she muttered under her breath, hoping Elliot didn't hear but he did.
Elliot placed his hand on her thigh but kept his eyes on the road ahead. "Liv, please don't beating yourself up about it. It was an accident, honey. It's not your fault"
The rest of the car ride but to Olivia's apartment was silent. Elliot pulled up in front of her building and was about to get out with her until she stopped him.
"It's alright, El, I can go up alone" she said as she took her seat belt off.
"Don't you want me to spend the night with you?"
She slowly shook her head as she opened the car door. "No, I'm sorry, El, but I really would like to be alone tonight" she replied before giving him a gentle kiss on the lips and getting out of the car, closing the door behind her.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning came and Elliot knocked on Olivia's apartment door. He was going to take her to the hospital to see Melody. He got no answer but he knew that she was home because he saw her car sitting in her parking space.
"Liv? Olivia, please open the door, honey" he begged, banging on the door.
He couldn't open it because he had accidentally left it at his apartment.
After a few minutes still no answer, so he decided to go to the owner to get him to unlock the door for him. The owner unlocked the door for him and he opened it.
Please leave me a nice review!!!
