Worry and Relief

Elliot paced the waiting room at the hospital for any news on Olivia. He had been waiting for an hour now and couldn't take it much longer. His father, Olivia's mother, and his brother, Brandon, were all there with him.

After rescuing Olivia and riding to the hospital with her in the ambulance, Elliot thought that maybe putting in a call to her mother would be a good thing. She probably wanted to know that her daughter was okay and was in the hospital. About ten minutes after he got off the phone with her, she ran through the doors of the Emergency Room. That was a little over thirty minutes ago. His father had gone home to get him more clothes and to get Olivia's things as well. When he returned he had Brandon in tow. Brandon wanted to be there for his brother, even if he wouldn't admit that to anyone.

Don had told Robert to call him when Olivia was up for giving her statement and went back to the station to put the case against Nick together. Nick was taken to another hospital so he wouldn't be a threat to anyone and wouldn't be threatened by anyone.

Two hours after arriving a doctor finally came into the waiting room. Elliot heard the doors and immediately looked up. He walked toward the doctor and Serena joined him.

"Is she okay?" Elliot asked frantically.

"Are you family?" the doctor asked.

"Kind of, she is my fiancé."

Serena jumped in, "She is my daughter and I give you permission to talk to Elliot or myself about Olivia's condition."

Elliot glanced at Serena and nodded his 'thanks.' They both then turned back to the doctor.

"So?" Elliot probed.

"Olivia is very lucky. She only sustained minor injuries. She has a broken left leg and a slight concussion. Other than a few scrapes, scratches, and bruises that is all. She is sedated now, but should wake up for it in the next few hours. We are admitting her for a few days for observation and she should be at full speed again, with the exception of the cast on her leg of course, in a week or two. The cast o her leg can come off in six to eight weeks and she can come here or make an appointment with her normal doctor," the doctor concluded.

Elliot let out a sigh of relief, "Thanks. Can we see her?"

"Yes, you may, but only two at a time. She is being transferred upstairs to get her out of the ER. We will come and let you know when she is settled and give you her room number."

"Thank you so much," Serena said. Elliot nodded his head and watched the doctor retreat behind the set of double doors. Elliot and Serena sat down and filled Robert in on Olivia's condition and planned hospital stay.

One Month Later …

Elliot and Olivia were hanging out in their new apartment. They both had moved from the dorms to an apartment complex just off campus. The apartment they shared was a two bedroom on the second floor of one of the buildings in the complex.

Elliot had been taking care of Olivia ever since she returned from the hospital and was helping her get to and from class with ease. Their spring break was in two weeks and they were planning to go back to the city.

It was a Saturday night and they were sitting on the couch cuddled together watching a movie. They had ordered pizza and were waiting on it to arrive.

Olivia looked up at Elliot, "El?" he looked to her, "I'm sorry we have to stay in on a Saturday night. I know that you would much rather be out then stuck in here."

Elliot smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead, "Don't apologize. What happened isn't your fault. Just because we are inside on a Saturday night doesn't mean we can't have fun. Plus, I would never go out if you couldn't come. I love being with you and if I had my choice, we would never leave this position."

Olivia smiled. She reached up and put her hand on the back of his neck. She pulled herself up a little and kissed him. Elliot immediately deepened the kiss and shifted his position a little to give them both a little more comfort. He scooted around so his back was to the arm rest and she was laying between his legs. She flipped over and laid on his chest. Olivia broke the kiss and smiled at him. He smiled back and leaned to capture her lips again.

Knock Knock Knock

Elliot groaned and Olivia snickered. He gently lifted her off his lap and out her back on the couch. He went to the door and saw it was the pizza man. He paid the delivery boy and shut the door back.

Elliot went to the kitchen, grabbed two plates, some napkins and a few sodas. He came back to the living room and put everything on the coffee table and sat back on the couch next to Olivia.

"Pizza smells good," Olivia observed.

Elliot nodded his agreement and put a slice on both his and her plate. He opened her soda and handed that to her as well.

"Thanks," she said.

"No problem," he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and bit into his pizza.

They sat in a comfortable silence enjoying their dinner and each other's company. Once the movie finished and the pizza was gone, both were tired.

Elliot looked to Olivia, "You ready to hit the sack? You look like you could pass out right now."

"I am so tired, but I am so so so comfortable," she returned from her position against his side.

Elliot smirked and stood up. Olivia groaned and sat up as well. Elliot suddenly picked her up and carried her toward her room.

"Elliot, what are you doing?" she asked as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I am carrying my beautiful fiancé to bed. You can't walk yet, so I thought I would save you the trouble of having to use those crutches."

Olivia smiled up at him and gave him a kiss on his neck. She settled in his arms and felt warm, comfortable and safe. When Elliot reached Olivia's bed, he tried to put her down, but Olivia would not remove her arms from around his neck.

"Stay with me?" she asked and stuck out her bottom lip.

"How can I say no to that face?"

"You can't; that's the point," Olivia said.

Elliot started laughing and placed her back on the bed. He jumped over her and laid down beside her. His arms were still wrapped around her securely and he rolled them into a better position. Olivia had her head on his chest and an arm wrapped around his waist.

"Umm…Thank you," she said.

"For what? You really don't have to thank me for staying with you. I will always stay with you."

"I know, but you are such a gentleman about it. I mean you have slept in my bed and I have slept I yours so many times and not once have you pressured me to sleep with you. I really respect you for that."

"Like I told you the first time, we will get to that when you are ready. I don't care if I have to wait a lifetime, because you are worth it to me."

Olivia grinned and kissed him. The kiss quickly deepened and in a matter or no time they were making out like crazy teenagers. Elliot moved his hand to the curve of her hip and let the other slide through her hair. Olivia's hand was resting on the back of Elliot's neck while the other explored his side. Before they knew it, they turned over and it had been nearly a half hour.

"Wow. That was really a great make-out session we had going," Elliot joked.

Olivia poked him in the side, "Way to go and ruin the moment, ya big dummy!"

"Hey! I resent that! I am no dummy."

Olivia laughed and gave him another kiss. She pulled back and rested her head on his chest once again.

"Goodnight El, I love you."

"I love you too Liv, goodnight."
