"Detective Benson" the doctor said coming out of the surgery room, Olivia and Mark both stood up.
"Is he ok?" Olivia asked.
"Yes, he will recover, there was a exit wound so hardly no damage. It didn't hit any major arteries, but he did lose a lot of blood, so we have to keep him here for at least two days" the doctor explained.
"When do you think he will wake up?" Mark asked.
"Well he was unconscious from the pain, and the blood loss added to that, and we gave him morphine, so my best guess will be about 5 to 10 hours, you can go see him if you want now" The doctor said and pointed to a room down the hall.
"Thanks" Mark said shaking the doctors hand.
"No problem," the doctor said with a smirk and shook hands with Olivia and left.
"I'm going to get cleaned up, why don't you go in the room and I'll meet you there" Mark suggested. Olivia nodded and gave him a kiss and went inside James's room. Mark went to the bathroom to clean off the blood.
Olivia went in and looked at James sleeping. His leg was propped up on a couple of pillows and he had tubes inside of his arms for the morphine. Olivia sat down next to him and stroked his hair; a tear ran down her cheek as she watched her son in the hospital.
She heard a knock on the door and wiped her tears before she turned around. Elliot came in quietly.
"Hey," he whispered.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" she asked knowing neither her or Mark called him.
"Got a call about a teen shooting at a ice skating park, heard what happened and witnesses told me the parents took the victim to the hospital, and since this is closest hospital figured it was here, the nurse told me you were in here" Elliot answered sitting on a chair next to the bed.
"Yea, who was the teenager?"
"Some random kid, got hands on a gun and pulled the trigger, civilians held him until uniforms got to the scene. How is he doing?"
"Good, there was a exit wound, should be awake in 10 hours,"
"Where's Mark?"
"Bathroom, getting cleaned up, he got James's blood all over him" Olivia answered as she started stroking James's hair again. Mark walked in, with traces of blood still on his shirt.
"Hey Elliot, what are you doing here?" Mark asked as he closed the door.
Elliot explained everything all over to Mark. Mark was sitting on another chair next to the bed, holding James's hand.
"Captain told me neither of you are allowed by the teen, since he is afraid you two will beat the crap out of him" Elliot told them with a smirk. Olivia and Mark just smiled. "I'm going to get going, call if you need anything," Elliot said as he got up.
"Thanks El" Olivia said smiling.
"No problem, bye" Elliot said and left the room.
"You want me to go get some coffee for us?" Olivia asked.
"I'll get it, stay here with him" Mark said getting up and giving her a kiss.
"Strong coffee" Olivia told him smiling.
"Of course" Mark said and left the room.
It was already 11 at night, Mark and Olivia were sitting in James's room sipping on coffee all night and watching him.
"Why don't you go home and get changed and get some sleep" Olivia suggested.
"No I'm fine" Mark said and rubbed his eyes, obviously tired since he didn't sleep the night before either.
"He should be up soon, its better not to have blood on you when he wakes up" Olivia said taking Mark's hand.
"I know, but I don't want to leave you here"
"I'll be fine, go ahead"
"No, plus you know I wont be able to sleep knowing you're here alone, I'm fine I got coffee in me, and I'm with you, so I'm fine" Mark said smiling and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"You're a stubborn ass," Olivia said smiling.
"I know," He said smiling.
"You want me to go get you a shirt at a store that's close by here?"
"There's nothing open now, it's almost midnight"
"I know of something near here, I'll be back," Olivia said getting up.
"I want the color blue" he said smiling. She smiled and gave him a kiss and walked out of the room.
She came back around 12; Mark was sleeping resting his head on James's bed. She walked in and just smiled.
"Hey sweetie" She whispered placing one hand on his shoulder. He woke up and looked up with sleepy eyes.
"Is my shirt blue? If its not I'm going back to sleep" he said smiling as he rubbed his eyes.
"Will baby blue do, your majesty?" Olivia teased as she pulled out a baby blue shirt out of a bag.
"I prefer navy blue, but I'll take it" He said smiling as he pulled off his bloody shirt.
"What's that?" Olivia asked placing her hand on his bare back and looking at bruise.
"When I fell off the fire escape," Mark answered as he took the clean shirt.
"I still owe you a massage, I guess you have no luck this week" Olivia said smiling.
"I know, no massage, no sex, this week sucks," He said smiling as he pulled on the shirt. Olivia smiled and rolled her eyes and started kissing him.
"Gross," they heard James mumble. They stopped kissing and smiled, both of them got up and sat on the bed next to him.
"Hi sweetheart, how do feel?" Olivia asked moving his hair out of his face.
"Not so good, I feel sleepy and my leg hurts" James said taking Olivia's hand.
"You will feel sleepy for a while cause of the medicine," Mark told him.
"What happened? Last thing I remember is being at the ice skating park" James asked looking up at Mark.
"There was an accident and you hurt your leg, but you will be fine," Olivia told him, not wanting to scare him by telling him he got shot.
"Oh, are you two ok?" James asked, Olivia smiled knowing he got his selflessness from Mark.
"Were fine, why don't you get some rest, if you need us were right here ok?" Olivia told him.
"Ok, dad can you buy me a big Mac I'm getting hungry?" James asked looking up at Mark.
"You want some food now?" Mark asked.
"No, I'm too sleepy to eat, can I get some when I wake up?"
"Sure, you'll have a big Mac when you wake up" Mark said smiling.
"Ok, thanks, goodnight" James said and closed his eyes.
"Goodnight" Olivia whispered and kissed him on the forehead.
Mark and Olivia went outside the room so they wouldn't wake him up.
"Just go in the morning since nothing is open now, you know he wont wake up until 9 or 10" Olivia told him standing outside of the room with James.
"Yea, I know, why don't you go get some sleep it's late and I'll stay here with him," Mark suggested.
"Did you forget I'm a stubborn ass also?" Olivia said smiling.
"Of course you are, lets go sleep on those uncomfortable chairs all night" Mark said smiling.
"I'm going to get some chips or something from the vending machine, him talking about food made me realize I'm hungry, I'll be right back" Olivia said giving him a kiss. Mark nodded and went inside the room, while Olivia went down the hall.
She was getting chips when she heard a familiar voice. She looked up and saw Fin talking to a nurse.
"What's going on?" Olivia asked walking over to him holding a couple of bags of chips in her hand.
"Victim, Elliot is talking to her, how's James?" Fin asked as the nurse went to her computer to find something.
"He's good, just woke up and is already demanding food," Olivia answered smiling.
"Like his father, Mark did that when he spent the night at my house before your wedding," Fin said rolling his eyes as he waited for the nurse.
"You offered, it's bad luck to see the bride on the wedding day" Olivia said smiling.
"Its bad luck having him at my house wanting food" Fin said with a smirk. Olivia just smiled.
"Here you go detective" the nurse said handing Fin a piece of paper.
"Thanks," Fin said taking the paper as he and Olivia looked at it.
"Admitted an hour ago, did you do rape kit?" Olivia asked looking up from the paper and to the nurse.
"Yea, we sent it to your labs already" the nurse answered.
"She saw nothing," Elliot said coming out of the room.
"How old?" Olivia asked.
"Around 20" Elliot answered.
"Damn, you want me to talk to her?" Olivia asked.
"What about Mark and James?" Elliot asked.
"James fell asleep already and I'm guessing Mark did also by now, its not a problem"
"Ok, sure" Elliot said knowing the girl would tell her more then him.
"Ok, don't eat my chips" Olivia warned putting the chips down on the counter, both guys smirked. She gave them a look even though she knew they were going to eat it on purpose cause she told them not to.
She went into the room where the victim was, Elliot and Fin smiled and opened up all her bags of chips.
"Did you talk to that teen that shot James?" Fin asked stuffing some chips in his mouth.
"Yea, he said that his friend passed the gun to him to show it off and he pulled the trigger by accident" Elliot answered taking some chips from the bag.
"Do you know how Novak will charge him?"
"She was debating with his attorney today since the kid is 17, they were supposed to go up against a judge today so I don't know" Elliot answered.
Olivia came out of the room and both guys hid the empty chips bag under their seat.
"Date rape" Olivia said coming up to them.
"She knew him?" Fin asked standing up.
"Yea, didn't want to tell Elliot cause it was her boyfriend and she was scared, Fin you have my chips on your shirt" Olivia said with a smirk, Fin smirked and brushed the crumbs off his shirt.
"She gave you a name?" Elliot asked.
"Yea, Joey Rivera," Olivia told him looking at her note pad.
"She could have just told me that and it would be easier," Elliot said.
"Yea well maybe she doesn't like telling chip stealers things, both of you owe me money for chips," Olivia said smiling and handing them the notes. Both guys just smiled as Olivia put more money in the vending machine.
"Goodnight liv, and thanks for the snack" Fin said smirking as he walked by her, Elliot laughed and followed him. Olivia smiled and rolled her eyes as she pulled out two bags of chips from the vending machine.
She came in the room and as she suspected Mark was already sleeping. His legs on the end of the bed and he was slouched down in the chair. Olivia just smiled and sat down next to him and slowly opened the bag of chips. Mark heard it and opened his eyes, but not moving from his slouching position.
"What took you so long?" He whispered half asleep.
"I was saving the world," Olivia whispered smiling.
"Good" Mark mumbled and fell asleep again. Olivia just chuckled and ate her chips.
Mark woke up at 7, Olivia was sleeping with her head on her hands slouched in her chair and her legs on top of his. He slowly picked up her legs and pulled out his and put her feet back on the bed. James was still sleeping. Mark got up and stretched and went to get breakfast for everyone.
He came back at 8 and everyone was still sleeping, he carried two bags full of food from McDonalds. Olivia woke up when she smelled the fries.
"Hey, when did you sneak out?" She asked taking off her legs off the bed and sitting up in her chair.
"An hour ago, I didn't want to bother you so I let you sleep,"
"Thanks, and you came with food and coffee, you are my other half" She said smiling and getting up and taking a cup of coffee.
"Yes I am, and that's not coffee…" Mark warned but didn't get to finish since Olivia sprayed root beer in his face. She hated the taste of root beer; she sprayed it by accident at his face since she just wanted it out of her mouth.
"I'm so sorry" she said trying not to laugh looking at him soaked in root beer.
"Thank you sweetheart" Mark said just standing there. She smiled and grabbed a napkin and wiped his face.
"Why did you put root beer in a coffee cup?" She asked smiling.
"Cause I like it when my wife spits it out on me" He said smiling and wiping his face. "They ran out of cups, this is coffee," He said handing her a cup, with a big letter C written on it.
"If only I saw that C earlier" She said smiling.
"So much for detective," he said smiling and kissing her on the cheek to get root beer on her purposely. She laughed and wiped her face.
"Mom are you done throwing root beer at dad, cause I want my food" James said smiling who was awake during the whole thing.
"Oh good morning sweetie, yea dad is soaked enough," Olivia said smiling as she handed James food.
"Buddy what do want root beer or coke?" Mark asked.
"Root beer, and not the one mom spit at you" James said smiling.
"Well thank you for the reminder" Mark said smiling as he handed him a cup.
"When did you wake up?" Olivia asked looking at James.
"The point of dad warning you it wasn't coffee, during the good part" James said and took a big bite of his burger. Olivia and Mark just laughed.
"Well it looks like someone is feeling better" Mark said handing a burger to Olivia and sitting down.
"My leg still feels weird but I'm not that sleepy as I was last night" James said eating his food.
"Good, your leg will feel weird for a while cause its healing" Olivia told him.
"Oh, but watching dad get soaked in root beer helps ease the pain away" James said laughing hysterically. Olivia laughed, Mark just rolled his eyes and smiled.
"Jeez James, I can hear you down the hall" John said coming into the room, with Elliot behind him.
"Hey John, hey Elliot" James said smiling as they came in.
"How you feeling?" Elliot asked.
"Good, mom spit root beer at dad earlier" James said laughing.
"Something I wanted to do for so long" John said smirking, James laughed even harder. Mark and Olivia just smiled glad to see him laugh.
"We got you something to make you feel better" Elliot said taking out a box from a bag, it was wrapped in white paper and then signed by everyone at the precinct.
"You got me peoples signatures?" James asked giving them a confused look.
"The present is under the signatures, the wrapping paper is your card" John told him. James nodded and handed it to Olivia. She opened it for him, not tearing the paper.
"Wow" James yelled out smiling looking at a box for a Gameboy.
"Wow, you guys didn't need to buy him that, a Gameboy is expensive" Olivia said looking at the present.
"Everyone chipped in so it wasn't that much money, we also got you some games, Dickie told me these were the games everyone plays" Elliot said and handed him three games.
"Awesome, thanks" James said smiling and taking the games.
"No problem, next time mom spits root beer at dad, call me ok?" John said smirking.
"You got it" James said and gave him a hi-five and grabbed the box.
"Dude finish your food first, you don't want ketchup on your present" Mark said taking the box from him. James just nodded and returned to his food.
"Were going to go, bye guys, hope you feel better James" Elliot said smiling.
"Thanks, thank everyone at mom's work for the present" James said waving.
"Liv, your kid makes me look bad, even I'm not that polite" John said smirking.
"Everyone makes you look bad" Mark said smiling, John just rolled his eyes.
"I will James, bye guys" Elliot said and opened the door.
"Bye, thanks for coming" Olivia said.
"I only regret not seeing mom spit root beer at dad" John said smiling as he walked to the door, James started laughing hysterically "bye guys" John said smiling and closing the door behind him.
