Many apologies for not continuing when i should have. I started a new job, and school is getting hectic. So I'm trying to find time to write and it is very difficult. I'm also getting married so that is taking a lot of time. I will try to finish this as soon as possible.
After a few more hours at the hospital, Olivia had fallen back asleep and Elliot laid his head at her side, holding her hand, and dozed off himself. They still couldn't believe that that one unknown night resulted in a baby inside Olivia.
The doctor came back, and noticed that they were both asleep. Instead of waking them, he backed out slowly, coming a little later. They both looked as if they needed the sleep anyway.
Olivia awoke lightly and saw Elliot at her side. She took her free hand and laid it gently on her stomach. She smiled at the idea of having the child she so desperately wanted for years. With that in mind she wanted to get started on names and things they would need.
She reached over and put her hand on Elliot's head. He looked up at her with blurry eyes and smiled, "Hey, Liv."
"Hey, El, I have a question?"
He wiped his face, and sat up while still holding her hand. "What is it?"
"What are we?"
"What do you mean?"
"What are we? Are we simply parents to this child, or are we something more?" He could tell she was really considering this.
"I would like to be more than just friends or just parents to this child of ours. I have always cared about you, you're my best friend and I love you." He kissed her hand and smiled.
"I love you too, but I think we need to take it slow. I don't want to waste this opportunity, at a great relationship. You're my best friend and I don't want lose you." Olivia said lightly.
"You won't, Livia." He smiled, "Well, what do you think our bundle is?"
"I really want a girl, but I'm happy with whatever it is."
"I would like another boy, but your right I would just want it to be healthy." Elliot squeezed her hand gently.
"This is going to be interesting, you want a boy, and I want a girl." She laughed, as the doctor came in.
"I'm glad to you are laughing and hopefully back to your old self."
"Oh yeah, she is." Elliot chimed in looking at Olivia, who stuck her tongue out at him. He laughed, and turned back to the doctor.
"Well, you will need to find a doctor, that will take care of your baby needs. These are your discharge papers. Remember that you are eating for two now, so you will have to find the time to eat and drink water." Olivia nodded and received her papers.
"Thank you doctor." He nodded and left. Elliot helped her into her jacket and then took her hand and they walked out.
"We have the rest of the day off, Want to walk around the park?"
"Sure maybe we can come up with some names while we are out." Elliot smiled and they parked at Olivia's apartment, and walked into the park.
"Okay, boy?" Olivia asked.
"Um… off the top of my head, I like Michael, Matthew, and Daniel."
"I like Matthew, and Daniel, not so sure about Michael."
"Okay, Michael is out, What else?" Elliot asked, still holding onto her hand, he led her to the bench.
"I also like Benjamin and Bryson."
"I like Bryson, that's nice."
"Ok, now girls." Olivia switched quickly.
"Um…Emily, Sara, and Samantha."
"I like those too." Olivia smiled and squeezed Elliot's hand. He leaned over and kissed her temple. She snuggled into his side and they enjoyed watching the children at a nearby playground. His arm draped around her felt so nice to her. She loved the feeling he gave her. "How are we going to tell Cragen and the others?"
"I don't know, Liv, but I know I don't want to be apart from you as partners. I don't want some scum bag trying to protect you and our baby from the people we put away everyday. I love you too much."
"We might have too, they are going to find out that I am pregnant. I might get stuck with Munch or Fin." Olivia said lightly, placing her hand upon her belly again.
"My point exactly." Elliot laughed, "Fin, is probably the only I could see although I don't want you away from me. Munch, heck no."
"I want to see Alex, I want to tell her the good news." Elliot smiled and stood up offering his hand to help her up.
"Let's go, I'll take you there." Olivia wrapped her arms around him and they walked together back to his truck.
Once at the hospital, Olivia went up to the Intensive Care Unit, and saw the doctor that was taking care of Alex. "Dr. Samson? How is Alex?"
"I was just about to call you, She's awake." Olivia broke from Elliot's grasp, and ran into her ICU room. Elliot stayed with the doctor for a moment giving Olivia the moment she needed with the woman she considered a sister.
"Alex?" Olivia saw the blonde look up at her and tears formed in both their eyes. "Alex. Oh My God, your awake."
She fell to her side, and hugged her. "Hey, Liv." Her voice was raspy, and scratchy. "How are you?"
"How am I? How are you?" Olivia sat next to her tears falling down her face.
"I have been in a coma for three weeks, and I barely remember anything that has happened."
"Well, three weeks ago, I was heading to the courthouse to meet you, when I arrived you, were behind your desk beaten. I had never seen more blood. You were brought to the hospital and we came and talked to you. You explained what happened, and I recorded it because the doctors were not optimistic.'
"Who beat me up?" Alex asked with a worried expression on her face.
Olivia sighed and took her hand, "Trevor Langan."
Alex gasped and started crying. "No, it can't be."
"Apparently from your own account, he came in here to ask you to go out tonight, and you said you couldn't because you had night court that night. He was going to propose that night, and he got angry and threw a silver and diamond engagement ring at you, and left you for dead."
"He would never get angry. He loves me, Olivia are you sure."
"Yes she is." Elliot was at the doorway.
"Hi, Elliot."
"Hi, Alex." He walked over to Olivia, and stood behind her.
"Where is Trevor?"
"Riker's, he is there on remand, for attempted murder."
"He would never do this, Elliot, that's the thing."
Elliot sighed and rubbed his face. "Huang has been working with him, He has apparently developed Multiple Personality Disorder."
"What?"
"I know this is a lot to lay on you Alex, but maybe we shouldn't give you so much, I can't have you going back into a coma. Especially now." Olivia said gently. Elliot put his hands on her shoulders.
"What happened while I was out?" Alex said, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
"I'm three weeks pregnant." Olivia said proudly.
Alex looked between Elliot and Olivia multiple times before settling on Olivia. "What? Damn, you miss a lot when your in a coma."
"This child needs its aunt." Olivia said taking her hand.
"I'll be here."
A nurse walked in and said visiting hours were over, Olivia and Elliot said their goodbyes and left Alex.
