Olivia sat up with a groan and stretched her neck, she felt as if she had been hit by a truck, her head, her back and her neck was throbbing. She blinked a few times before taking in her surroundings, a small smile tugging at her lips when she saw Trevor lying there so peacefully.

"hey" a voice came from behind her.

She was slightly startled by the voice and turned to see who it was "dammit Alex, you scared me."

"Sorry love" she said with a soft chuckle.

"How long have I been sleeping here?" Olivia asked, standing up and doing a massive stretch.

Alex crossed her arms over her chest "all night."

"Why didn't you wake me up? I was supposed to meet Trevor's mother" she said while straightening herself up.

"She saw enough last night. Let's just say she is very pleased and was even talking about you two getting married a few years down the road and maybe having a few babies." Alex realised what she said when she saw the look on Olivia's face.

Olivia pursed her lips "wait until she finds out that I can't have kids, then she will scream about me ruining Trevor's life too."

"That is something I could never do" Elizabeth said as she stepped into the room, catching wind of Olivia's words.

Olivia swallowed the lump in her throat and forced a smile "Mrs Langan it's lovely to finally meet you."

"oh we met last night" she said with smile before walking over to her son. She pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead and pushed his hair out of his face "he looks so peaceful but I know that when he wakes up, the first person he will be searching for is you."

A small smile tugged at her lips "I just hope that happens soon..." she bit her lip "I miss him."

"The feeling is mutual... He was always the more sound minded out of my kids, Jen was the fire ball, known for bad choices and a lose tongue. Trevor was more compassionate, caring and picky with what he said. That's why he went into law, he could keep a secret and he had this way with words that I had never seen before. Jen was the lose canon, and Trevor always came to pick up the pieces of her mess."

She trailed her finger along Trevor's chin "That's why she threw you out of here, she thought that she was cleaning up Trevor's mess like he always did for her. Only difference is that you are not a mess Olivia, my son loves you and that is something he doesn't do easily. Not with all those walls he put up after Debra happened."

Olivia gave her a sad smile "I won't lie Jen's words cut deep... She was there the night I was raped and she knew most of what I had been through, she blamed me for Trevor being shot and she was right. If I hadn't called him, he would have been perfectly fine now."

"But you would have been hurt, or worse, you could have died..." she walked over to Olivia and took hold of her hands "He would never be able to live happily knowing that you were hurt and he couldn't protect you. It's in his nature to protect the one's he loves, he has always been that way. Trevor almost went to prison to protect Jen, because as much as she is a pain in the ass, we still love her."

"What did she do?"

Elizabeth led her to the chairs beside Trevor's bed and smiled at Alex who was sitting on the opposite side of the bed.

Alex stood to her feet and gave both of them a smile "I'll give you two some privacy, Liv call me if you need a ride home... I have to check things out at the office"

Olivia nodded "yeah, I have to go into the precinct a bit later, to explain everything to my Dodds and request a few days off."

"okay. Just call me" she said before greeting Trevor's mother and leaving.

Elizabeth turned to Olivia and let out a breath "Jen had this boyfriend Steven, he was an abusive shit... One night he and Jen had an argument and she told him that it was over, he didn't want her to leave so he hit her and she fought back for once. Eventually things got so bad that he pushed her out onto the balcony of his place, threatening to push her down. She somehow got the upper hand and pushed him, he fell. She tried to save him but it was too late, he died..."

"Then what happened?" she asked, afraid of what Elizabeth was going to say next.

She sighed "Trevor took the wrap for it. He was arrested and got sent to prison for a few years, came out early for good behaviour and as part of his sentence he had to step down from law. He sold his shares in the firm and opened up his restaurant and lounge, he's been living on the straight and narrow all these years."

Olivia let out a breath "that's why Jen flipped... Rick died and she was afraid that the murder charge would come up and Trevor would be arrested again."

"Exactly..." she said.

"Trevor didn't shoot Rick, one of the officers did... I was awake and conscious when it happened and IAB already knows it, because I went in to speak to them yesterday after Jen threw me out." she wiped the tear that escaped her eye "he lied to me."

"because he didn't want to scare you off. Your husband was a horrible man and he figured that you hearing about him having a murder charge would scare you off."

"He was right. I would have left" she shook her head "but not now... I'm not leaving now because I can't lose him."

"He defended you, when Jen acted up... He made it clear that you are the woman he wants." she said with a chuckle "he really adores you."

She reached up to him and let out a breath "he is the love of my life, I adore him too."

"Just promise me one thing" she said with a smile.

"What's that?"

"That you won't up and leave. You won't cheat him or do any of the things Debra did to him."

"I promise. He is the only man I want, and if that ever changes, I will let him down easy, I won't cheat him or lead him on." she whispered as she stared down at him.

Jen stepped into the room and let out a sigh "it's been three days, why hasn't he woken up yet?"

Olivia returned from the bathroom and pursed her lips as she walked over to his side "he had surgery again, a brain bleed... They managed to get it all under control"

"Why did he have a brain bleed?" she asked, in tears.

"You remember how he went into distress the other day, and how he had a stroke because of the stress. Well that stroke is the reason for the brain bleed." she explained.

Jen wiped the tears that streamed down her cheeks "where's my mom?"

She sighed "your parents are in a meeting with one of Trevor's doctors to find out what is happening. They said he would be okay for now and that he might wake up after an hour or two."

Jen nodded, sitting down opposite Olivia "you can leave now, I'll stay with him."

"I am not going anywhere. I won't leave his side until I know that he's okay." she said with a scowl.

Jen scoffed "I don't want to argue with you Olivia, but-"

"Then don't. I'm not going no matter what you or do. You are not going to bully me out of here this time, so it's either we act civil with each other or we don't speak."

"Fine. But don't expect me to act like I want you here" she spat.

Olivia rolled her eyes "I don't care what you feel or think about me. I'm here for Trevor, not you."

Jen scowled at her "what is that you want from him? What is the real reason for you being here? This whole love act doesn't fly with me."

"okay I have had it up to here with you. I actually do love your brother, and I want him to get better. I know you're feeling guilty because of the whole Steven situation but it's time you get over yourself and realise that your brother needs you. He is sick, he could die and all you can think about is yourself. Get over it. Years has passed and Trevor doesn't hold it against you. You are your own biggest judge and I refuse to be your punching bag to help you get rid of your guilt."

"I didn't mean to kill him" she whispered, her voice weak and broken.

Olivia let out a heavy breath "I know. Everybody knows it and that is why nobody holds it against you. I know you thought that this was going to bring that case up but it won't, its over and in the past. Trevor is trying to move forward but he can only do that if we all help him, if we support and love him. He adores you, you are his little sister and he would give the world to keep you safe but sometimes he needs to do what's best for him to. Even if that is loving someone you don't approve of."

She wiped her tears "I'll try... But I still don't like you."

She shrugged "that's fine by me."

Both women turned to the door when they heard the door open, Olivia let out a groan when Delilah pushed Debra into the room.

Jen stood to her feet and scowled at both women "you two have some nerve coming here"

Debra rolled her eyes "calm down Jen, I'm not here for you. I'm here because Jayce and I were worried about Trevor, Jayce was with him for the week but he got worried when uncle Trevor didn't return from going to sort out his business. Your mother allowed us in."

Jen scoffed "that woman is allowing everybody in here. I need to speak to her"

She turned to Olivia "make sure these two don't disturb him."

Olivia waved her off "of course Jen."

Delilah let out a chuckle as she watched Jen stomp out of the room "somebody has their panties in a twist."

Olivia looked down at Jayce who was asleep in Debra's arms "so you must be Debra, it's nice to finally see the woman behind the name."

She forced a smile "I'm sure you heard a lot about me... Not that you can judge since you and Trevor are having an affair."

"Somebody didn't get the update." Olivia said with a shrug "I'm no longer married, I got my marriage annulled... Also I didn't cheat on a man who loved and cherished me. I cheated on a sick, abusive bastard who tormented me, he deserved what he got. Trevor didn't."

"Wow that's a sweet little speach, how long did you work on that bit?" Delilah pipped up.

"you're still as irritating as before... How does Trevor put up with you?"

"I could ask you the same thing" she scowled "why are you even here? Didn't you leave him?"

"That's none of your business" she defended.

Debra sighed "girls stop."

She turned to Olivia and gave her a tight lipped smile "I'm glad you came back to him, he was shattered when you left. He actually cried, and that is something I have never seen him do before, he full on sobbed at the thought of living without you."

She looked down at him as he lay on the hospital bed and felt a tear roll down her cheek "I never meant to hurt him, I thought he would be better off without me in his life. But it was so hard to move on because he was all I could think about, I have never cried that much in my life before because it hurt to wake up every morning and not see his smile."

"So don't" came the soft whisper from the hospital bed.

Olivia gasped as she looked down at him, seeing his eyes halfway open and a small, slanted smile tugging at his lips "you're awake. I have to call your mother" she said.

"no... Stay" he said breathlessly.

She moved back to her seat and gave him a small smile as her eyes filled with tears "I am here to stay, I just need to let your mother know."

"Delilah can go t-tell them" he stuttered out.

She turned to Delilah and raised a brow at her "will you go get his parents please?"

Debra shot her sister a pleading look "he needs her here and you are the only one that can get there fast enough."

Trevor looked over at Debra as Delilah left to call his parents. A lopsided smile tugging at his lips "hi D-d-d."

"hey, don't exhaust yourself by trying to speak too much." she smiled.

Olivia took hold of his hand and kissed the back of it "you scared the shit out of me."

"sorry" he whispered, swallowing the lump in his throat.

"does she know that you're..." he trailed off, unable to complete his sentence.

Olivia nodded "yes she knows I'm here, so does your parents." she pressed a kiss to his forehead "you had us all worried. Don't ever scare us like that again"

"I'll try..."

Debra looked down at her sleeping son and smirked "Jayce missed you these last few days. He forced me to bring him by when we heard that you were out of surgery. Unfortunately he asleep on our way over."

He gave her a weak smile "he was with Rhe"

"I know" she smiled "she took great care of him. Thank you"

Trevor looked up at Olivia and smirked "can I get a kiss?"

She let out a soft giggle before leaning forward and pressing her lips to his in the gentlest kiss. She pulled away when she heard his parents step into the room and felt her cheeks flush "I love you."

"I love you too" he whispered.
