Chapter Fourteen

Getting There

Alex sat in the waiting room on uncomfortable plastic chairs waiting for information on how Casey was doing. She was waiting for Olivia to come back from guarding the door. Olivia had told everyone that she was just making sure Martin didn't have any friends that would finish taking her out. But Alex wasn't blind. She knew the real reason was that she was afraid the Feds would decide Casey was in danger and would put her in the witness protection program like they had put Alex in. Casey was one of Olivia's best friends and even if she weren't Alex knew that Olivia didn't trust the Feds as far as Alex could throw them. Alex looked up from the magazine she was trying to focus on reading just in time to see Serena run over to her.

"Did they say anything about how Casey is?" Serena asked as soon as she was in front of Alex, "How is Casey? How is the baby?"

As the questions streamed out of Serena's mouth Alex couldn't help but see something that she had seen when they were celebrating their victory over Martin. Alex couldn't help but smile on the inside knowing that her and Olivia had been right about them two all along. They had had conversation after conversation about if what they had seen was right. Olivia had wanted to set them up and see what would happen. But she realized as she explained how the doctors were still looking Casey over that they hadn't needed to set them up for them to end up together. Serena took a seat next to Alex in an uncomfortable plastic chair. Silence fell upon the two like a thick quilt. They waited in silences trapped in their own thoughts waiting for news of Casey. Whether it is good or bad they could only imagine.

Olivia stood outside the door watching and studying each person that past her in the hall. Whenever a nurse went into the room she made sure they were nurses. Olivia wasn't so much watching for any goons Martin could have had as a back up plan. Martin didn't seem to be that smart to have a back up plan. She didn't think he expected them to find that secret entrance to under the basement. She was making sure no one from the FBI came to take Casey away. She knew it was really stupid as Casey wasn't in that serious of danger as Alex had been. Alex had been put on a hit list of one of the biggest drug lords. Casey had only been a target because the man whose baby she was carrying was married. That was all. No need for a big relocation into the witness protection program. But when they had sent those two Feds to help them with the case it had made Olivia uneasy. Olivia did not trust them. She would never be able to trust them. Not after how they had taken her only love away from her. Not after they had told her that Alex was dead and had ripped her heart out of her chest. They didn't say, "Alex isn't dead but we need you to have an emotional breakdown." They had just told her that she was dead and that was it. Memories of the day flickers through her mind.

Olivia was sitting in the background with her partner Elliot. Munch, Fin, and Cragen were sitting around Mrs. Cabot as they tried to ease her mind of worry. Elliot instead had chosen to sit with her and had his hand on her shoulder to show that he was there for her. The door from the surgical unit had swung open and all heads had snapped in that direction. Alex's surgeon walked out of the room with a grave expression on his face. Olivia knew it had to be something bad but she had never expected the worst. Olivia rose to her feet with the rest of them. But she stayed by her chair with Elliot.

"Is my daughter alright Doctor?" Mrs. Cabot asked when the Doctor hadn't spoken.

"I'm sorry," the Doctor told him, his voice laced with sadness, "But I'm afraid Alex didn't make it through the surgery."

Olivia had felt her legs turn to Jell-O. She knew she would have fallen on her butt and hit her head if it had not been for Elliot guiding her into her seat once more. Olivia fell into a cationic state. She hadn't been aware of her surroundings for at least a wee.

Olivia thanked to God that Elliot had knew about her and Alex. It was a week from the time Alex 'died' did Olivia find out the truth. And knowing the truth Olivia didn't know if she liked the truth or the lie better. Now that she looked back on things she knew not knowing would have been better. Because knowing that Alex was alive but that she could never see her had been the worst feeling in the world. Olivia was just glad that Casey had helped her out in getting her Alex back for her. So now as she checked each person that went and left the room it was because she couldn't let that happen to Casey. She knew Casey wouldn't have wanted what had happened to Alex. The door to Casey's room opened and out stepped Dr. Marks. Dr. Marks was the physician that was treating Casey.

"How is she?" Olivia asked immediately, "How's the baby?"

Olivia sighed with relief when a smile crossed Dr. Marks face.

"Casey and the baby are doing wonderfully."
