Chapter 15: I Love You Baby

(Narrator POV)

Four days had pasted since Edgar had woken up. It was also four days before Christmas. Edgar was making good progress. Olivia try's very hard to keep him in good spirits because his leg was really kicking his ass. He gets frustrated because he can't use the bathroom or do anything by himself. But Olivia was always there for him. But nobody was there to keep Olivia happy. Of course she's happy that Edgar is alive and improving but she is so tired of being in this hospital. First it was Noah now Edgar she feels defeated. And it was visible to everyone. Everyone asked how she was doing and if she was okay but know truly sat down and had a conversation to really make sure everything was okay.

She decided to go to work today and it was absolutely horrible. The case would move two steps forward and then ten steps back. After work she debated on going straight to the hospital or out for a drink, because Lord knows she needs one. She goes to the bar and orders one vodka which is not normal and before you knew it she had, had almost seven shots of straight vodka. "Cap I think this is it, I'll call someone to pick you up." The bartender; Mike, trying putting an end to Olivia's drinking.

"I can handle myself... I'm a cop won't you think I know when to stop?" Slurring every word that came out of her mouth. "Give me another one!"

"No I'm trying to save you from embarrassment. You are a captain and female captain! Who is very well respected and I won't let you ruin that."

"Fine! Fine. I'll leave." Standing up tipsily grabs her keys but mike grabs them before her.

"Give me my keys I have to get to the hospital."

"I can't let you do that. You are way too drunk call someone to get you."

"I'll take her." They heard a voice a lo and behold it's Elliot stabler.

"Hell no. I'll call somebody."

"Olivia please?"

"I'm not getting in the car with you I'll walk with you to the hospital we both have people to see." She walked out unevenly and unbalanced with Elliot who put one hand on her back "get your hands off me!" She jerked herself out of his arm length and barely caught herself. She was dead drunk.

"Olivia what are you doing? I know you don't drink like that. You're a cop for goodness sake!"

"And where do you get off telling me what to do with my life! You have no say! Plus it's not like you care anyway."

"How dare you. I have cared for you since we started being partners. I have never stopped caring."

"You didn't care enough to pick up at phone and say 'oh hey Liv I don't think I can work anymore."

"You know why I didn't tell you. Because I knew you would try and change my mind and I would be stupid enough to let you because I... I- never mind."

"I what Elliot?" They stopped outside of the hospital doors.

"I love you!"

"Elliot no! Stop it!" All of her slurring went out the window. She was loud and clear now.

"But it's true, Olivia. And you can't tell me that you don't feel the same way. I know you have always had a thing for me even with all of your boyfriends." He grabbed her back and kissed her hard on the lips. And everyone saw it, Edgar's whole family and Steve and Lisa. Dianne ran back into the hospital. Morgan told the kids to go with Dianne before Olivia could try to push him off of her she turned her neck from his mouth and finally pushed him off.

"You son of a bitch! You tried to take advantage of me while I'm drunk! Well I have news for you... I'm not incompetent when I'm drunk I can still tell when asshats like you want me only for sex! Well you got another thing coming Elliot because I'm nobody's BITCH!" She calmed down and started crying. "Because I have a man up there who loves me... and I love him. You have changed Elliot, what happened to you? You used to put people away for trying to do what you just did. You disgust me. You just can't take that I finally found someone who is good for me. I love Edgar... him and Noah they are all want and all I have." Turning around to see a crowd of people she knew and was so embarrassed.

"How much of that did you see?" Panicking because she didn't want them to know that Elliot kissed her.

"All of it." Lisa stated while everyone was still flabbergasted from what they had witnessed.

"Oh my gosh... I didn't kiss him he... YOU SON OF A BITCH YOU HAVE RUINED MY LIFE! IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED?" She turned around and started swinging landing hard punches on Elliot he started bleeding. Luckily everyone pulled liv off of Elliot. They were all yelling things to make Liv stop. She shrugged them all off and walked in the hospital still tipsy from being drunk. And ran into the nearest bathroom.

Back outside Ulrich picked Elliot up and slammed him against the wall. "If you ever and I mean ever come around Olivia again you'll be sorry you even met her. She has told you time and time again to leave her alone. You leave my family alone. You're not gonna mess up mine just because you ruined yours. I promise you, you will wish you never knew Olivia."

"Are you threatening me?" Elliot snarking back.

"I'm not threatening you... I'm warning and promising you. And I keep my promises." They stares each other off. Ulrich has fire in his eyes. While Elliot thought of it as some joke and smirked. And Ulrich didn't like it one bit. So he punches Elliot in his gut and doesn't stop.

"Daddy! Stop! Please let him go he isn't worth you going to jail for." He moved away from Elliot and had one more thing to say. "Get up and go in the hospital you have blood all over you."

Ulrich, Kevin, and Morgan walked back into the hospital. Steve and Lisa left and Elliot was still on the ground. Everyone went back upstairs to Edgar's room and they heard Dianne from a mile away going off about Olivia. "She's a hoe. Why are you with her? I knew it. I knew it from the moment I met her I only let it go because you liked her. I knew she would break your heart." Edgar is shocked and doesn't know what to say.

Ulrich still snapping off while walking saying he would kill Elliot and stuff like that. Edgar is so confused. "What are you all mad about?"

"The same reason I am that girlfriend of yours is a hoe and we all know it and she will break your heart."

"But why are you saying that? I'm so confused because none of what you are saying is making sense Olivia is not a hoe."

"She kisses that man... what's his name- Elliot! We went down stairs and they were kissing." Edgar had no words.

"That's not what happened!" Ulrich yelled.

"Then tell what did because I'm not gonna act like the hoeish bitch he calls a girlfriend didn't kiss another man."

"That's not what happened, it wasn't what it looked like." Olivia peeped in the door.

"You bitch!" Dianne slapped Olivia. "You don't deserve my son."

"Mom stop, you have no right to hit her. Now someone tell me right now what happened!"

"We all had just left your room and we were leaving when we walked out and we saw what we thought was Olivia kissing Elliot." Ulrich directed that state toward Dianne. "But that wasn't the case. Elliot kissed her. And she is drunk. Olivia pushed him away and screamed at him and beat him up. We had to pull her off of him. And I may or may not have some assault charges against soon. But I doubt that will happen." They laughed except for Olivia, Edgar, and Dianne.

Edgar looked at Olivia "Is that true Olivia?"

Everyone looked at her "yes, I would never do that to anyone especially you."

"Could you guys give us a minute alone?" Everyone walked and Ulrich told Dianne to apologize to Olivia for calling her all of those names after Olivia and Edgar get done talking.

"Why are you drunk? I thought you didn't like drink like that." Edgar said calmly he wasn't mad at all at Olivia he just wanted to know why she was drunk, nothing too serious.

"I really don't like to I just-" she took a breath trying to hold back tears.

"Come here baby, talk to me." He moved over in his bed to make room for her. She laid closely to his chest and made circles with her fingers on his chest. Not looking him in his eyes.

"I was just so tired of everything!" She let go and sobbed tucking her head in his chest. I'm tired of finally being happy and it not lasting. It's like I take one step forward and a million back and I am even further away from where I was before I was happy. I'm tired of being in this damn hospital. I just wish for once I could have time to relax and not worry about anything. But I constantly worry about Noah. I worry that one day he is just gonna be to sick and die. I constantly worry about you. You are here but you were in a car accident and you died right in front of me. I'm worried that you will really die again in your sleep and not ever wake up. All I do is worry and I have kept it in me for too long and I just can't take it." She light punches his chest.

"Hey, it's okay Olivia to worry. But don't let that consume you. You have already tired yourself out with worrying. Don't let it happen again. Because I'm not going anywhere and Noah is not going anywhere any time soon. You can't get rid of me that easily. Olivia look at me." She looked up he mascara was down her face. Even her waterproof mascara could take it anymore. "I love you do you understand me. And I will never ever stop telling you that until my last breath. There is not another women I want to be with than you. If you break up with me I'm done. I'm not looking for love anymore, because I'm stuck on you. But you have to tell me when something is bothering you. You can't keep that stuff in because it boils over like all of this. You have to promise me to tell me when something's wrong because you're the one who was a detective for almost 15 years." They laughed. "But I'm serious you have to tell me these things but I hurt when you hurt. Sit up. Hand me your purse please."

Olivia handed him her purse and he sat up as well. He grabbed her makeup wipes and start wiping all of her mascara and tears away. "So do you promise?"

"I promise."

"You promise what?"

"I promise to let you know when something is bothering me. Is that better."

"Much." He laughed. "All... better." He finished wiping her face. And gave her some mouth wash.

"Oh my gosh thank you I do not like this aftertaste." She got up and rinsed our her mouth and proceeded to get back in bed with Edgar.

"Edgar

"Yes, baby?

"I love you." They kissed.

"I love you too, baby.
