Note: Ok I know that you all must hate me by now but things have been so crazy. I graduated high school in just and I had a lot of tests going on. Then I had to worry about getting my classes ready for the fall. My dogs had seven puppies bringing our dog total to eleven. I'm thinking about going into the navy and before I can do that I have to go of my ADHD medicine for a year I think, so I went off about three weeks ago and I'm still adjusting. I know have a full time job for the summer and am looking for a part-time job while I'm in college. I signed up for a shit-load of classes in the fall so I wont have to write when school starts, but what else am I gonna do. Thank you guys so much for being patient.

Chapter 4

Elliots POV

I haul ass to get to Olivia's hospital room, hoping to god that nothing had gone wrong while I was gone. I round the last corner to see Cragen and Olivia's doctor talking.

"Whats up? Did anything happen? Is she alright?" I rattle off quickly as I approach them.

"Nothing major has changed Mr. Stabler but during Ms. Benson's EGG we found more brainwave activity than expected, not much but we would like to try something with you permission." Dr. Lockhart said.

"Ok what is it?" I ask.

"We would like to remove her breathing tube to see if would can force her to breath on her own."

"But if she doesn't start to breath wouldn't the lack of oxygen cause more brain damage than could already be there."

"During the procedure we would have myself and a nurse standing at her side to ensure that she does not spend to much time without oxygen. If we can get her breather on her own her chances of waking up go up greatly." She explains

That was all I needed to hear. "Is there anything I need to sign." She hands me a clipboard and I sign at the bottom.

We all head into Olivia's room. The room looked like I hadn't left at all, I take my place back on the side of her bed. I take her hand as they begin to take out the tube. Once it is out Dr. Lockhart tells the nurse to start keeping time. The next few seconds felt like hours, nothing moved in the room and all eyes were focused on Olivia's chest, hoping to watch it rise and fall once. Another second passes and still nothing happens. "Come on Liv you can do this" I try to coach her is into breathing, but nothing seems to be working. "Come on Babe, you can do this."I continue. Another few seconds pass, and Dr. Lockhart motions to the nurse to pass the new intubation kit. " No please just two more seconds, she can do this I know she can." I plead with the doctor.

"Detective we'll try again in a few days." She said opening the kit.

I lay my head on Olivia's hand and kiss it, when I do I can swear I felt movement. I look at her just in time to see a small expanding of it. "Doctor wait, look" I point out. She takes a another breath, this time a little more full. "Yes that my Liv, that's my girl." I jump up and scream like my favorite team just one the world series. Everyone in the room is smiling laughing at my reaction, but I don't care we're gonna get through this.

A several hour later

With all the excitment I almost forgot to give Olivia the stuff I brough. I pull out a bag and dump out all her things. I place her mother's picture on the table next to her bed and a picture of us next to it. I take her bunny slippers and carefully place them on her feet. I wish there was a way to put my shirt on her, but she's still hooked up to too many monitors. I take my shirt and lay it around the back of her neck. For the last though I turn her iPod on quietly to one of her favorite songs and slip the headphones in her ear. If I didn't know what was really going on I would have though she was asleep on the couch on the weekend. I lay back and close my eyes. When I open them I am shocked to see Olivia looking terrified at the ceiling.

"Doctor I think she's awake." I yell out the door.

stupid I know but atleast its something. Ohh and dont jump to conclutions about Olivia lets just say that all might not be as it seems.
