Here's the next chapter. Janeecz brought it to my attention she was a little confused by some changes so I'm fixing this. I did change chapter 19 so that is why this one is the way it is. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Hope y'all enjoy.
Olivia woke up and looked around the white room before she felt a weight on her chest. Looking down, she saw Amanda, sound asleep, cuddled as carefully against her as she could be with the brunette's gunshot wound.
"Liv?" She heard and looked over to see Alex sitting up and stretching.
"Hey," she said and smiled at the ADa.
"Thank you for looking after her," she said and Alex gave her a smile.
"I don't mind," she said, reaching over to stroke Amanda's messy hair.
"So I talked to Jackie, and she said you can go home as long as I stay with you," she said finally after a few minutes and the brunette smiled before surprisingly agreeing.
A few minutes later Amanda began to stir and she momentarily began to panic.
"Liv," She yelled, before calming when her eyes settled on Alex.
"Baby, shhh," she whispered. "She's right there."
"See?" She asked and Amanda sighed in relief when she realized Liv was holding her.
"Hey, sweetheart," the brunette said tenderly and Amanda immediately calmed.
"Liv," she said in a soft voice, making both women smile.
"Hurt?" She asked and Liv tilted her chin up to meet her eyes.
"No, baby," she answered, allowing Amanda to sit up next to her but still maintain the physical contact.
"I am in pain a little bit, but I am going to be just fine."
"Alex will be staying with us until I'm better," she said and Amanda smiled brightly.
"Love Alex," she whispered and the ADA carefully approached the bed before gently hugging the young detective.
"I love you too, baby, I love you too," she said.
A little while later, the three women had returned to the apartment after leaving the hospital and picking up dinner.
Amanda was currently wrapped up in a blanket on the couch while Alex and Olivia got dinner ready.
"Here sweetie," Olivia said as she handed Amanda her plate of food but frowned when she didn't pick up the fork.
"Amanda?" She asked, trying to figure out what was wrong before it clicked.
"You want me to feed you?" She asked and smiled sadly when the blonde placed the brunette's hand on the fork.
"Ok, you, come here," she cooed and Amanda immediately crawled into her lap. "You wanna try?" She asked, knowing what the response would be, especially after the last few days.
"No," Amanda whined and Liv just nodded.
"Liv?" "Are you—," Alex started but stopped at the sight in front of her when she appeared in the doorway a few minutes later.
Olivia was seated on the couch with Amanda in her lap as the brunette fed her her food.
"Good?" She asked as the blonde stared longingly at the plate.
She grinned when the blonde tapped the fork and attempted to use her hands. "No, baby," she said, becoming serious.
"Either I feed you or you use the fork by yourself," she reminded gently.
"Do you understand?" She asked. "Uh-huh, more, please," she said and the brunette complied as Amanda hungrily devoured what was on the fork and made a motion for Liv to reload it.
"Easy, baby," she whispered. "I'm not taking it from you," she continued and the blonde relaxed slightly.
"What... What are you doing?" Alex finally asked but then mentally slapped herself.
She knew what the brunette was doing but she didn't know why.
"Sometimes she wants me to feed her," the brunette said by way of explanation but Alex just stared.
"She, she uh, doesn't wanna do it herself because of... him," Olivia finally said and Alex gave them an understanding look, wondering not for the first time what the blonde had truly been through.
Suddenly Amanda let out a loud wail and Olivia gave her a look.
"More," she yelled, and the brunette patiently lifted her chin, making sure she was looking at her before beginning to speak.
"What do we say-when we want something?" She prompted gently, never once losing her cool, making Alex smile. .
"What do we say, what do we say?" She repeated. "Please,"she said after a minute and the brunette kissed her head softly while giving her a smile.
"Good girl," she cooed, beginning to feed the blonde once more.
A little while later, after everyone had eaten and Olivia had taken her pain medicine they were preparing to go to bed.
"Is she sleeping with you?" Alex asks and Olivia nods. "Are you sure you're ok with that?" She asks and Liv smiles slightly.
"It will be fine," she said.
"She doesn't typically move once she gets comfortable," she continues and looks up when Amanda enters the room.
"What is it, sweetie?" She asked.
"Bedtime," the blonde says quietly, making the two women smile. "I know, I'm coming," Olivia says and realizing where she will be sleeping Amanda immediately went into the brunette's bedroom.
A few hours later Olivia is awakened by Amanda whimpering and crying in her sleep.
She stands in that basement, with her abductor holding a gun to Olivia's head.
"No please, master, please don't," she screams. "Please don't shoot her."
"You've been a very bad girl, Amanda," he says before pulling the trigger.
"Liv," she screams, louder than the brunette has ever heard her before she bolts awake, looking around the room.
"Hey, sweetie," Liv says softly and Amanda immediately looks in the direction of the voice before breaking down in hysterical sobs.
"He... he... he shot you, and he made me watch," she wailed and the brunette, mindful of her ribs and injured shoulder carefully brought the blonde into her arms."Baby, no, no he didn't," she said, beginning to attempt to get Amanda back to sleep.
"Just hold me," she shrieked, still caught up in her nightmare and the brunette reached for the blonde's medicine that would calm her down.
"No, no, I don't want it," she wailed and Olivia let out a sigh. "Shh it will calm you down," she began.
"Don't wanna sleep, just want you," she shrieked once more and Liv carefully began to inject the medicine.
"Close your eyes, baby." "You'll feel better soon," she cooed before feeling Amanda begin to relax. "That's it," she said softly as the medicine began to take effect.
"Liv," Amanda whispered and the brunette shushed her quietly before lying down with her. "I'm here," she said andAmanda cuddled closer, all be it gently before her thumb went into her mouth and she let out a content sigh.
"That's my good girl," she said, pressing a kiss to the blonde's head.
"Tired," the blonde mumbled around the thumb in her mouth.
"I know you are, baby," she said, beginning to run her fingers softly through Amanda's hair.
"He made me watch," she whined once more, desperately clinging to the brunette. "I promise you, I'm fine." "It was just a bad dream," she continued gently.
"Alex," she mumbled and Liv smiled.
"She's..." She started but stopped when she saw her in the doorway.
"Look, baby, she's right there," Olivia said and sighed in relief when Amanda relaxed completely after seeing the other blonde and began to fall back asleep.
"Stay," Amanda mumbled sleepily and Liv pulled her a little closer in response.
"I will, baby, shh," she hushed but the blonde shook her head before quietly saying, "Alex."
The attorney carefully walked over before lying down next to them before she felt small fingers grip her hand. "Love you, both of you," the blonde mumbled once more before the medicine finally took effect completely.
The next time Alex awoke, it was to bright sunlight streaming through the window. Looking over, she saw that Amanda had moved back towards Olivia and she was once again in the brunette's arms, fast asleep with her face tucked against Olivia's good shoulder, making Alex wonder how even in her sleep she still understood the importance of being careful when hugging their friend.
A little while later, Olivia awoke and looked at Alex. "Hey," she mouthed, and the attorney just smiled.
"Thank you for staying." "She's not usually ok with anyone other than me staying with her," she continued.
"She's trying to heal," Alex said with a slight smile and the brunette nodded in agreement.
"We are gonna go in, so I need to wake her up," Olivia said after a few minutes. "Need me to drive?" Alex asked and Liv nodded.
Entering the station a little while later, they were greeted by tucker and when he saw Amanda he immediately approached them.
"I thought I told you to get out," he growled and Amanda tensed, gripping her noise canceling headphones.
"That's enough," Olivia snapped. "Detective Rollins is a part of my squad," she continued and tucker just gave her a look.
"Come on, Olivia." "You don't need a... he started but was stopped by an icy glare from Alex.
"I highly suggest you don't finish that sentence," she said, her voice dangerously low, but it didn't seem to deter him.
"I'm just saying," he continued. "She's not meant to be on this squad."
"We need real detectives, not some retard," he said. "I mean, does she even—," he started but before he could continue he was holding his swelling jaw.
Looking around, they saw Amanda, now standing quite close to Olivia with her fist clenched. "Not a retard," she began muttering and the brunette gently pulled her into a hug.
"No, baby, you're not," she whispered as she felt her shirt getting wet and she immediately knew the blonde was crying.
"Get out," Alex growled and finally he stormed away, but not before saying, "It want last." "You'll wanna get rid of her one day." "I would." "I mean, she got herself kidnapped," he said with a smirk and it was all Alex could do to not lunge at the man.
"Alex, don't," Liv warned. "He's not worth it," she continued and pulled the trembling blonde closer, rocking her gently. "Baby, shh," Liv said, feeling her detective beginning to cry harder. "'m sorry," she sobbed, attempting to pull away.
"This is not your fault." "Do you hear me?" "I'm smart," she cried and Liv sighed before beginning to speak.
"Yes, you are, but you know what?" She asked and Amanda shook her head. "You're the reason we solve most of our cases."
"You see things no one else sees," she continued and Amanda gave her a watery smile before hugging her tightly.
"Thanks, Liv," she whispered.
"No problem, baby, no problem."
