After catching the next available flight back, Elliot drove Olivia home before he took off heading for the hospital. Once he got there, his nerves increased even while he was heading down the hallway.
Elliot stopped just upon seeing Maureen standing outside, Kathleen's hospital room, " Is she alright?"
" Yeah, Kathleen's just sleeping now. The doctor said that for the remainder of her pregnancy she needs to be on bed rest."
That only increased his fears, as Elliot opened the door and entered Kathleen's room. She was asleep in bed, as he pulled up a chair close to her. With one soft motion, he took took his hand into his. Inside he felt miserable, while still fearing the worst.
Just then Kathleen's eyes flickered open," When did you two get back?"
" Just now, we had to cut it short after Maureen called Liv about you."
Kathleen exhaled softly," The pains back again, supposed to have a sonogram soon," as she sighed softly, just as the door opened, "Guess it's already that time."
Meanwhile, Olivia had already showered and changed. She was still furious at Elliot him yelling at her in the airport, and how he acted towards her afterwards. It would take a lot more than just him apologzing for her to forgive him.
After picking up Christopher from daycare, she then proceeded to run some errands. Olivia didn't care that Elliot wasn't home when she came back. In fact, it was a good thing that he wasn't. Although, Olivia felt now that his kids were his family; not hers.
Especially after what he had said to her at the airport. After yearning for a long time to be part of a family, she finally got that chance; only now Elliot felt that they weren't considered her family too. Of course, Olivia's instincts were telling her that he wanted out of the marriage.
Him not knowing what he truly wanted; seemed to be pissed her off more. Even on their honeymoon, she got the sense that Elliot was merely pretending to be happy. Yet, Olivia was sick of him acting like this.
In fact, as much as she didn't want to end their marriage; she knew that it be wise if they had a trial seperation. After that fight in the airport, Olivia could no longer live with him at this point. Sure there were times on their honeymoon which were romantic and fun, while other times he was moody.
One thing that she wasn't going to do was prevent Elliot from seeing their son. Something inside told her, Elliot wouldn't go for the idea of having a trial seperation. There was no way that he could try to talk her out of having one. Olivia had her mind already made up.
By the time Elliot came home, it was late. Olivia waited up, but didn't look too happy to see him. She frowned at him as he was coming out of Christopher's room, " I think we need to have a trial seperation, just for a little while."
That stunned him," No, Liv. What I said," as he saw that Olivia just didn't care.
" No more excuses, this us being married isn't working out. We both know that, I just feel that maybe we can't live together right now."
Elliot didn't feel the same," I want to work this out, I'm not going to leave you and our son. What I said in the airport Liv, was wrong."
" Oh, you really expect me just to forgive you? It's not so simple El, not this time. We both know this isn't working out. I'm not going to stand here and argue, just do me a favor and find someplace to live."
He could see that her heart was already breaking, but Olivia remained strong. Elliot wasn't about to leave," Let's work this out, me leaving is just going to make things worse."
" Worse, it's already past that point. You were miserable the whole damn time while we were on our honeymoon. I get you already been on a honeymoon before, but not for me. I wanted this to be special and romantic, but not when I'm married to someone who can't be truly happy."
Elliot sighed," Liv, I am happy. Just that it was bad timing us going away, I was worried about Kathleen being pregnant."
"Don't even give me that crap. We both know Kathleen was fine before we went away. This has nothing to do with her, it's you not being about let yourself be happy. I don't even know if you really love me. Just pack your bags and leave. Nothing you can say will change my mind."
He saw the anger in her eyes," What the hell has gotten into you?"
" I could ask you the same, but I won't. Please just pack and leave now!"
Elliot nearly lost it," Maybe it's you that wants out, you can't deal with marriage problems. They do happen, I said we'd work it out. This is crap and you know it. I said I was wrong, you don't understand what was going through my head at the sametime."
Olivia grew angerier," I do, in case you haven't forgotten Kathleen is my family too. Unless that's changed."
" ENOUGH LIV," he yelled," She's my daughter, you don't understand what was going through my head."
" Oh really I do, maybe you just don't get this isn't about you!"
Once Elliot stormed out of the apartment, after packing a bag. Meanwhile, Olivia had no intention of getting a divorce, but knew that by having a trial seperation it might just be a way for them to work things out.
She didn't want to give up on their marriage, but clearly they couldn't live together for the time being. Although Elliot felt extremely miserable inside, he too wasn't giving up on their marriage. He couldn't, especially since his love for her was extremely strong.
