A/N: It's my day off school and I'm kinda bored, so I wrote the next chapter, please read and review!!! I only own anything you don't recognise from the show!
Elliot and Dr Weaver walked over to Olivia's hospital bed and Elliot woke her up.
"Wha---Huh?" Olivia woke up confused and startled.
"Sorry, babe, but Dr Weaver has something important to tell us"
Olivia nodded as she slowly and awkwardly sat up and Elliot sat down beside her on the bed.
Dr Weaver sat down on the chair and sighed. "Olivia, you're still pregnant"
Olivia was confused. "But I thought you said that I lost my son"
"You did, but -----"
"Then exactly what are you saying?"
Dr Weaver pinched the top of her nose. "You were pregnant with twins. You lost the boy, but the girl is still alive. Her brother protected her from the impact"
Olivia began crying in confusion. She didn't know what to say or think at that moment.
"Are you serious?" Elliot asked. He was just as confused as Olivia.
"Yes, I
am. I'll get the ultrasound machine and we can take a look"
Elliot
nodded as Olivia continued to cry in to his chest.
Dr Weaver left and returned 5 minutes later, wheeling in the ultrasound machine in to the room.
"Ok Olivia, push the blanket down to your hips and lift up your gown"
Olivia nodded as she laid down, still hanging on tightly to Elliot.
"Mummy, are you ok?" Ashlyn asked from the other side of the room.
"Yes, baby, I'm fine" Olivia replied and then slightly winced as Dr Weaver put the cold gel on her belly.
"Sorry…..See there we are. Strong, steady heartbeat and my guess was correct, it's a little girl"
Olivia squeezed Elliot's hand and began to cry tears of happiness, when she saw her unborn daughter on the screen.
"Ash, come and see your baby sister on the screen" Elliot said.
Ashlyn climbed off her bed and walked over. She looked on the screen and smiled as she put her hand on the screen and then on her mother's swollen pregnant belly. She leaned in and kissed Olivia's belly and whispered, "Hello baby, I hope mummy calls you, Claire"
Olivia smiled as the short brunette doctor wiped the gel off her belly. "When did you decide that you liked that name, Ash?" Olivia asked her precious daughter as she motioned for her to come closer.
Ashlyn walked up closer to her mother's face and Olivia gave her a hug.
"I thought of it, that day when you said that I was gonna be a big sister"
"You can't wait to be a big sister can you, baby?"
Ashlyn shook her head and yawned.
"Ash, you should get some more sleep" Elliot said.
"Ok" Ashlyn replied and kissed her parents goodnight, before hopping back in to her bed and went to sleep.
Just then Olivia tried to hide a yawn, but was unsuccessful because Elliot saw it.
"You need some sleep as well, Liv" Elliot whispered and kissed her on the cheek before realising that she had already fallen asleep.
Elliot snuggled up closer to her and drifted off to sleep himself.
He woke some time later, but didn't know what woke him until he noticed Olivia lying awake, crying.
He pulled her closer and kissed her on the cheek, since she was now lying facing him.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you" she whispered through her tears.
Elliot wiped away her tears and ran a soothing hand through her hair. "Babe, it's fine. What's wrong?"
Olivia didn't respond, so Elliot tried again.
"Liv, I'm here to help……Please let me in"
Olivia sighed. "I'm just so depressed. Why did all this have to happen? I was taking Ashlyn out for a girly day out and we ended up in hospital. I almost died and she was seriously injured. And to top it all off, I lost a baby. I know there's still one inside me, but in the end, I still lost one"
Olivia sobbed harder in to Elliot's chest.
Elliot also let a few silent, stray tears fall.
Olivia noticed and wiped them away. "Why are you crying, El?"
"I'm just so angry about all these bad things happening to us. But…."
"But what, El?" Olivia asked as she wiped away more of Elliot's tears.
"I was gonna ask you something, when you came home from your mother-daughter day"
Olivia looked at him in the eyes, confused. "What were you gonna ask me?"
