Chapter 17: The continuing road to redemtion
"Mrs. Benson, here are some medication for any pain you might encounter and if you have any questions or concerns then feel free to contact me. Have a good day and I hope I don't have to see you any time soon." With that the docter left the room.
"Ready to leave Liv?"
"Yeah...and El?"
"Yes Olivia?"
"I love you more than you could possibly comprehend and thrilled that I have you. Just promise me that you will never leave me."
"Of course I will never leave you Olivia. Now come on, we need to get you to bed."
Gathering their belongings, the two left for Olivia's apartment. Arriving their Elliot remembered that Chealsea was still there.
"Hey Liv, you know Chealsea is gonna be inside right?"
"Yeah. I thik we will get along just fine."
Shortly after, Elliot's car stopped in front of Olivia's apartment. Taking long strides to Olivia's door side, Elliot helped her inside. Setting her down on the couch, he began to question her needs.
"Do you need anything Olivia?"
"Nothing but you El. Come and lay with me."
Hestation appeared on Elliot's face.
"It's okay, you won't hurt me."
Carefully spooning her up in his arms, Elliot held her semi tightly. The bathroom door swung open and Chealsea flew into the living room.
"Oh, sorry Olivia didn't know you got back yet. How are you doing?"
"I'm fine thanks just a little drowsy. How about you? Good I hope."
"Yeah, I am fine. Did you get my father?"
"He died in the interrogation room."
"Good, finally free of that sick bastard...wait, he didn't try to do anything to you? Ellio t only told me he shot you."
"He tried to touch me but he didn't get the chance to."
"What a sick fuck, I thought he would do something like that. Especially since we look alike." Chealsea finished.
Thinking about about the words her sister spoke, Olivia realized how alike they really were.
"Well Chealsea, I think we have a lot to talk about but right now I am beat. The guest room is yours for however long you want or need it"
"Okay, thanks." Getting up, Elliot helped Liv to her bedroom.
"So I guess I am sleeping on the couch then right?"
"No silly, my bed is big enough for the two of us."
"Great, but I think I am gonna go grab a bite to eat."
"Just don't scare Chealsea away. I never had a family before and now I do." Elliot understood this and left the room.
In the kitchen, Chealsea was making a sandwich. "Hello Elliot, want me to make you a sandwhich?"
"No thanks, think I will just get some cereal." A few trademark awkward moments passed and Chealsea spoke up again.
"So how is Olivia really?"
"She is fine. Finally starting to be happy I think. Olivia is so static that she has a sister now. Her...er uh, Olivia and your mother passed about four years ago." Going back to her sandwich, Chealsea talked.
"I always wanted to meet my mother. I dreamed of how wonderful and loving she would be. Her name, Serena, sounded so angelic. Guess I will never know, I will just remeber her by my false, self-made memories."
"I'm sorry Chealsea but I am sure Olivia would love to tell you about her. She has been thorugh so much. she had to matuere when she was still a child. Instead of Olivia's mother taking care of her, she took care of her mother4."
"Why?"
"Your mother was an abusive drunk Chealsea. She started to change just a few months before shedied. They were actually starting to become friends."
"Why, what happened the night she died?"
"The police contacted Olivia saying her mother died with a blood alcohol level of 0.09. Serena fell down the subway near a bar."
"How did Liv handle that?"
"She took it well, a little too will. Olivia didn't even take a day off after. She is so strong, and stubborn.Almost to muchfor her own good."
"Well in that category we are completely differnet."
"Yeah well she has gone through so much that forced her to be a strong and independant person."
"Well at least she didn't have to be raped every day by her own father." Elliot knew Chealsea was playing the pity game and he was not about to be pulled into it.
"Anyway, I should go do some paper work before the boss screams my head off. And I think I will grab a cup of coffee. Tell Liv for me okay?"
"Sure but, I haven't had good company for a long time, we could just leave her a note and go for a while."Chealsea asked, she hadn't been with anyone ever and thought Elliot would be a good place to start.
"Um, you know that Olivai and I are dating right? Besides she is injured and someone needs to stay with her remember?"Elliot said.
"Oh, er a, yeah. Well ok. Go get that coffee and I will look after Olivia.
Three Days Later
Today was the day. Elliot had everything planned. They would go to a movie, eat dinner and at the Morrelli's restuarant question. Driving past the New York traffic, Elliot approached Liv's apartment. He still could not believe that Chealsea was hitting on him. They look exactly alike but Liv has a better, stronger personality then Chealsea.
Although she does seem to be really nice. Opening the door, Cheasles came out to leave.
"Oh, hey Elliot. Just going to the store for Live. See ya later."
Elliot just nodded. He walked into the room to see Olivia sitting behind the open bathroom door. She wore a combined face of shock and worry.
In her hand she held a pen like electronic instrument. Going through all the possibilities, Elliot quickly gravitated next to Olivia.
"What's wrong Olivia?" The moment he asked he recognized what she was holding. An at home pregnancy test.
"I think I might be pregnant El." she said in between sobs.
"Are you sure? That's great liv, its nothing to be upset about."
Helping her up, he knew this would only make it easier to ask the question.
"Really? Are you sure you can handle another kid. I mean you already have five."
"I would love to have a kid with you Olivia. You don't know how happy this makes me."
"Well in that case, I am estatic to be having a baby with you El. I love you so much." Olivia said standing up to hug him.
Whispering in his ear she gently talked.
"El.."
"Yes."
"I'm gonna be somebodies' mommy."
"And you'll make a great one too."
The both laid down to sleep and slept blissfully for four hours. At six they awoke to hunger.
"you want to go eat at Morelli's for dinner?" Elliot asked.
"Sure."
So the got dressed and left.
