A/N: Sorry the chapters seem to be getting shorter and shorter. They will strat being longer I promise. I'm just trying to figure out what to do with the story so I'm trying to take it slow. I've had alot of idea's but I can only use a few and I'm trying to figure out which ones. Hope you enjoy!

Elliot's POV

"Yes Mr. Stabler she's fine, She's resting right now"

It felt so good to hear that she was going to be okay after eight hours of waiting tears started to fall down my face.

"Why'd she have to have surgery?"

"The car accident caused one of your daughter's lungs to collapse; the other was punctured causing her to bleed internally."

"When will she be able to come home?"

"Well we had some minor complications during the surgery, and she's having a little trouble breathing on her own right now which isn't uncommon but needs to be watched over the next couple of days to make sure her lungs are healthy . So she'll be able to go home Thursday or Friday depending on how well she does"

"Can I see her?" I asked eagerly

"Of course but only for a few minutes she needs her rest, and I wouldn't advise bringing her in" She pointed at Emily. "She's pretty banged up, she had to get six stitches on her forehead and she's pretty bruised."

Olivia reached out her hands before I could ask. I kissed her on the head and handed her Emily, then followed the doctor back to her room. She opened the door and I was completely shocked at what I seen.

The whole right side of Jen's face was purple and blue, along with the stitches right above her eye brow. She had bruises on her arms, and an IV coming from her hand. There were all kinds of machines hooked up to her including an oxygen mask.

More tears started to fall.

"It looks a lot worse than it is. The machines may beep its nothing to worry about. "

I nodded my head and walked into her room the doctor closed the door behind me. I sat down in the chair beside her and grabbed her hand. She looked so helpless. I felt her hand move in mine.

"Daddy?" He voice was weak and raspy

"Oh my god baby"

I got up and sat down on the bed beside her. I rubbed the left side of her face.

"Daddy…..I'm:"

"Shhh." I interrupted. "Don't talk baby you need to save your energy."

I wanted to hug and hold her in my arms and tell her how much I loved her.

"Emily was……was she with me?"

"No baby no she's fine she's out in the hall with my partner. The doctor said she wouldn't advise for her to see you like this. I love you so much baby. I always have and always will. I'm sorry I didn't try harder to find you and I'm sorry that I let you leave today. I almost lost you all over again."

"Its not your fault daddy" She started to cry.

"You need to rest baby…. The hospital wont let me stay with you but me and Emily will be up here tomorrow to see you ok" She nodded her head.

"I love you daddy!"

"I love you to baby girl"

I lifted her hand to my mouth and kissed it. I would've kissed her head but I didn't want to risk hurting her.

"Tell Emily I love her."

"I will baby." I kissed her hand and waited till she fell asleep before I left.

I stood out side the door and cried for a while before going out to the lobby where Olivia and Emily were. They must have told them to go on out. Olivia had laid Emily on one of the softer benches so she would be more comfortable. I walked up to her and hugged her.

I wouldn't have been able to make it through tonight without her. Just like so many other times. She's always been there for me. Even when I hurt her she was still there when I needed her.

She saved my life more times than I could count, saved my ass from Cragen more than she saved my life. She's always been by my side.

"Thank you so much" I whispered in her ear.

"What are friends for" She whispered back.

I kissed her on top of her head before letting her go. She smiled at me before turning to pick up Emily. I hated the fact we had to wake her up. She had such a long day. We walked out to my truck Olivia put Emily in her car seat.

We walked into my house Olivia put Emily in my bed then came back into the living room and sat down beside me on the couch..

"I should be getting home."

"Please don't leave?" She smiled

"Now can I resist that face? I called Cragen while you were with Jen he said you could have as many days off you need just to let him know how many"

"You are a god send"

Olivia laughed, that's when I noticed how much I really loved her. I loved her more than I ever loved Katy. She was my partner and my best friend. I wonder how mad she would get if I kissed her right now.

"Earth to El!" Olivia waved her hand in front of my face.

I smiled at her "Yeah?"

"Why were you staring at me like that?"

"I was wondering what you would do." She looked at me like I was crazy.

"What I would do about what?"

"This"

I leaned toward her and kissed her on the lips then quickly pulled away. What in the hell did I just do? She is so going to slap me in three seconds. One two. She leaned forward and kissed me but unlike me she didn't pull back a second after.

She leaned back on to the couch. "Are you still wondering?"

I put one leg on each side of her, and laid down supporting most of my weight with my arm. I kissed her again.

"Does that answer your question?"

She smiled and shook her head no. I kissed her again putting my other hand on her waist. .
