Chapter 12: Everything is Okay

(Narrator POV)

It was around 3:00am when Edgar felt Olivia stirring in her sleep, she couldn't stay still. He thinks she is having a nightmare. Olivia is get more wild and tries to wake her up. "Olivia, wake up. Liv!" He lightly shook her... still nothing. "Liv, baby wake up!" Olivia shot up in bed in a cold sweat, gasping for air as if she couldn't breathe. She grabbing at her throat desperately trying to get air but it's not working. Edgar sees her panic and sits up rubs her back and says "Olivia listen to my voice breathe in and out. In and out. Slowly. Calm down. In and out." Olivia slowly came to even breathing.

Edgar got up and said "I'll be right back. Stay here keep slowly breathing." He went in to the kitchen and in the refrigerator he grabbed the water poured it into a cup. Went back into the bedroom and in the bathroom he got her a cold, damp washcloth. And began to tend to Olivia.

"Here you go. Some water. Let's get this shirt off. " He handed her the cup of water. And helping her take her sweaty shirt off.

"I'm sorry I woke you up. I know this happened every time. I should have told you or slept on the pull out. I'm sorry." She said in between sips of water.

"I don't care. Do you want another shirt? Are you okay?

"No shirt. Yeah I'll be okay. Thank you." She said while her hand was on his face and she smiled sweetly at him. She finished what she had left in her cup and Edgar took the cup and place it on the night stand next to her. Then hopped in back bed. Olivia Laid down and Edgar put the cold towel on her forehead and propped himself up on his elbow and gently asked "What were you dreaming about to make you so scared? If you don't mind me asking."

"I don't mind. I mean I have to open up to you about this stuff if I want this relationship to keep going. And believe me I do trust me but remember when I fold you about William Lewis earlier. Well every time I bring him up, talk about him or anything like that I always have nightmares about it. I just wish i didn't have to live like this. But It happens every time. That's why I said I should have told you or slept on the pull out because I knew it would happen. I'm sorry I woke you up though."

"Olivia, stop apologizing. It's honestly okay. I'm sorry that I brought it up. But at least I know now to leave that alone. Now that we have talked about it, we can leave it be. I still love you though." He ended with a laughed and wrapped his arm across Olivia and kissed her neck. Olivia laughed too "Stop." She said still laughing.

"Why?" He said with a pouty face.

"You know why."

"Fine. Are you tired?"

"No. Plus I don't wanna go to sleep. I might have another one."

"Okay then let's see what movies are on."

"Okay but I'm gonna go put my cup back in the kitchen." Olivia got up and went in the kitchen. Meanwhile Edgar repositioned himself on the bed so that his back was against the backboard and he was in the middle with hopes of a chance to cuddle. Olivia walked back in and slipped between Edgar's legs and rest her back against his front side.

"I found Just Wright, do you wanna watch that? There was nothing else on that was good."

"Yeah that's fine, I actually love that movie." He clicked on it and place the remote down, put his arms around Olivia. He liked this movie but it wasn't the best. In his opinion but having her in his arms is all he wanted. He was gonna soak all of the time that they have up.

Edgar had been thinking about what Olivia said before they went to sleep. He wanted to ask her in the morning but right now she is calm, relaxed. So why not ask now. "Hey Liv?"

"Yes."

"Before we feel asleep you said something to me. I was wondering if you really meant it?" He said turning his head to look at her. She was blushing. She knew what he was talking about. A little hurt that he thinks that she didn't mean what she said though.

"Yes. I really do love you, Edgar." She said looking at him with a smile.

"Well that's good because I love you too." He spoke while kissing her neck and shoulders.

"You have no idea what you're doing to me right now." She said lustfully.

"I think I do, Olivia." Still kissing her neck and shoulders.

"This feels nice. It feels just right, like it's meant to be. I'm really glad I met you Edgar." She turned around and sat on her knees.

"I feel the same way." He yawned.

"You're tired hope to sleep you don't have to stay up for me. Go to sleep."

"No. I don't want you up by yourself. I'll only go to sleep if you do. You already said you didn't want to so it looks like I'm gonna be up too."

"Fine I'll go to sleep only because you're being stubborn." She turned to lay down and Edgar did the same and she hit him with a pillow. Edgar was caught off guard and said "what was that for?"

"For being stubborn." Olivia laughed.

"Yeah because I wanted to stay up and be with you. The things I do for you." Getting quieter as he spoke. He flipped over putting he back to Olivia's. He wasn't really upset, he was only messing around. But Olivia didn't know that.

"Oh come on, I was just kidding. Edgar come on. Seriously?" She was getting visibly irritated by his actions. She kept talking to him and he didn't budge or say a word.

"Fine be like that then. I just playing." She huffed. Edgar didn't want to dig the whole deeper so he flipped around and engulfed her in his arms. And whispered in her ear. "I know you were playing. I wasn't really mad. But your sexy when you're mad." There wasn't a reply right away but about twenty seconds after he finished, Olivia spoke up "Jackass." Edgar laughed. And they fell back asleep.

In the morning Edgar had work meeting and it was Olivia's off day. It had snowed so bad that Noah had a snow day. It was gonna be a day at her apartment with Noah. They might go sled, but she was still scared to let him out in the cold since he was in the hospital. They made it scarily but safely to Olivia's apartment. Noah was super excited to see Edgar but he had to leave. Olivia stopped him before he left. "Hey, thanks again for everything. Be careful out there it's getting really bad. Please just stay safe text me or cal when you get to work."

"I promise, I will." She didn't doubt that Edgar was really good at texting her back. With that he left. On his way from work the roads were slick and it was hard to see but he kept going.

Olivia and Noah were enjoy some quality time. They were watching Ice Age: Continental Drift; it was Noah's favorite of the movie series. About 45 minutes into the movie Olivia was nervous. Edgar still hadn't texted her yet but the roads plus the traffic was horrible. He might be just getting there but she sent a text anyway. 'Hey just checking in I did get a text."

The movie was now over and still no text from Edgar, no voicemail, no missed calls, no nothing. She had sent now seven messages to him and has called him three times. 'Edgar you're making me nervous. Please call me." Her phone buzzed and it was Edgar she was so relieved she quickly answered the phone. "Hey baby, you scared me. I forgot you had a meeting this morning. That's probably why you didn't text me. But now that I know you're okay. Everything is great." Olivia rambled on out of nervousness.

"Umm ma'am I'm calling you because Mr. Goodwin was in a car accident and his next of kin wasn't answering. We need you to get down to Mercy right away please." Olivia couldn't breathe. It seemed like as soon as something happens the world takes it away form her. She said okay and hung up. "Noah I need you to get your coat and stuff and come on. I need you to hurry. They both hurried to get their things.

Out of curiosity Noah asked where we're going Olivia said something to help a 7 year old comprehend. "We're going to see Edgar. He had an accident." Olivia spoke trying not to get choked up. On the way there she texted in the squad group chat and asked if anyone could come to mercy and get Noah. It's an emergency. Kat responded and said they were just coming up there to see a survivor who was just brought in. And that they could get him after.

She was flying through the streets luckily she had her police truck and could turn on her sirens.

They arrived and Olivia grabbed Noah and picked him up and ran in the hospital the doctors recognized Olivia, everyone their knew her. "Captain Benson are you here for the rape that was just brought in?"

"No, umm my boyfriend was just in a car accident and they called me told me to hurry." She said starting to cry. The doctor knew exactly what she was talking about. It was a major accident two people already died.

"Okay Olivia calm down it'll be fine. Let me take Noah I'm on a break. They won't allow him in that part of the hospital." Olivia nodded and explained to Noah where he was going. And she was off the find Edgar.

"Captain there are no patients in trauma today. But there is one in the emergency room area. How can I help you?"

"My boyfriend he was in a car accident and I need to see him." She deeply breathed then let the tears fall.

"Oh, uh. Give me a moment and I'll get you an update on his condition and his things." The nurse said in shock of what Olivia said knowing very well that Edgar might not make it.

"Okay." While the nurse was gone she paced back in forth running her hand through her hair silently crying.

Back with and update and Edgar's things the nurse told Olivia that they were prepping him for emergency surgery. And tried to help Olivia calm down but she still crying. She feels like the universe is taking away the one man she truly loved. She gathered herself and decided to call his family they should know. She first called his parents then his sister who she was familiar with and told them everything she knew and they said they were in their way.

All Olivia could do now was hope and pray that Edgar would pull through because she didn't know what she would do if he died.
