Over the next two days, Elliot seemed to get weaker and sicker. Olivia watched him over those days and she couldn't help but feel so helpless because instead of getting better, he seemed to be getting worse. Elliot was relaxing and watching TV while Olivia was reading a book right next to the bed when Mara knocked on the door. Both detectives looked up and then to each other.

"Come in," Elliot said. He turned the TV down and Olivia set the book aside.

"Well," said Mara, stepping into the room, "I have some good news."

"What is it?" Olivia asked, eager to hear it.

"You're a match," Mara said to Olivia, "We can do the transplant as soon as possible."

"Today?" Elliot asked.

"If that's what you want, but I do have to remind you that there is a slim chance that this won't work. It's rare, but I have to let you know that," Mara said.

Olivia looked at Elliot and he nodded.

"Let's do this," Olivia said, more determined than ever.

Mara nodded.

"I'll get started on the paperwork. You should be ready for the transplant in a couple hours," Mara said.

"Thank you," Elliot said.

Mara smiled and walked out of the room.

Olivia got up and leaned over to capture Elliot's lips in a kiss. She was overjoyed that they were a match.

"Happy?" he asked. She nodded.

"I was so scared that it wouldn't be a match, but I'm still scared that it's not going to work," Olivia said.

"It will, Liv," Elliot said, "It's going to. It has to."

"Elliot, what happens when you get out of here?" she asked.

"When I get out of here, I'm going to take a beautiful woman on a date that she deserves," Elliot said.

Deciding to mess with him a little bit Olivia said, "There's another woman in your life! I thought I was the only one!"

"Oh, I didn't mention her earlier? I thought I did," he said grinning. She laughed at him.

"We're a pair, aren't we?" she asked.

"Quite the pair. I always thought that we wouldn't get this chance," Elliot said, "I honestly thought I was going to be married to Kathy for the rest of my life and that I wouldn't ever get to tell you the way I felt or how much I was in love with you."

"I thought I wasn't going to get my chance at happiness," Olivia said, "I still feel that I may not."

"Why?" he asked.

"Because cancer, even if it goes into remission, there is still a chance that it could come back," Olivia said, "And if that happens, and you…."

"Hey," he said laying his palm on her cheek, "I'm going to be fine. We're going to get our happy ending. I promise."

"How can you promise that?" she asked.

"I can promise you that because I won't ever leave you alone," he said, "I've always had your back and I always will. As long as I still breathe, you'll get your happy ending."

Olivia had tears in her eyes and smiled as he took her face in her hands and kissed her tears away as they fell. Then he kissed her cheeks and finally his lips met hers in assurance that he was going to fight to live and to survive. As the kiss broke, Elliot moved over and Olivia climbed into the bed next to him and they fell asleep like that.

An hour later Mara walked in to find them in that same position. She really didn't want to wake them, but she knew that Elliot wanted this transplant done and that it was her duty to her patient to see that he pulls through. She walked over next to the bed and started to place a hand on Olivia's shoulder when Elliot caught her by the wrist and she looked to see his eyes were open.

"Don't wake her. She hasn't been sleeping well," he whispered.

"That's understandable, but it's time," Mara said. Elliot nodded in understanding.

"Give us ten minutes?" he asked. Mara nodded and left the room.

He looked down at Olivia sleeping so soundly. She looked beautiful and so peaceful. He wished she could stay that way. He pushed her hair behind her ear and kissed her forehead. She moaned as her eyes fluttered and she turned her head. He chuckled softly and kissed her nose and then her lips.

"Five more minutes," Olivia whined. Elliot laughed.

"I would, but Mara just came in as said it was time to go," he said, "Let's get this over with so that you and I can leave this place and have a happy ending."

Olivia sighed. She was truly comfortable in her spot. She nodded and got up.

"Okay," she said, "I'm ready."

She leaned over and kissed him as Mara walked back in.

"Oops, sorry," she said, "Are we ready now?"

"Ready as we'll ever be," Olivia said.

"Alright, Olivia, you're going in first and then Elliot," Mara said, "This should take about two hours or so. We'll try to make it as quick and painless as possible. Now, I both need you to sign these forms and we'll get started."

They each took their corresponding papers, filled them out, and signed them. Olivia looked at Elliot and he nodded. They wanted this over.

"Okay, Olivia, come with me. Elliot, Janet will be in to take you to prep," Mara said. Olivia kissed Elliot again.

"I love you," she said.

"I love you, too," he replied.

Olivia followed Mara and Janet came and got Elliot. They were both prepped and set for the transfusion; both were anxious to get it done.

About three hours later, Elliot was returned to his room and Olivia, a short time later. Both felt drained, but happy.

"Do you think it worked?" Olivia asked.

"We'll know in a day or two," he replied, "Are you okay?"

"I feel good," she said, "A little tired, but good."

"Same here," he said, "I think it took a lot out of both of us."

"Yeah, and now I'm hungry," she said, "Shall I order in?"

"Do they deliver here?" he asked.

"Fin does," Olivia said with a grin. Elliot laughed.

"Let's do it then," he said. Olivia pulled out her phone and dialed Fin's number.

"Tutuola," he answered.

"Hey," Olivia said.

"Hey, what's up?" he asked.

"We did the transfusion today and we should know tomorrow or the day after if it worked," Olivia said.

"That's good," he said, "You need anything?"

"Uh, we're kinda hungry for something other than jello," she said.

"Oh, I suppose you want me to deliver?" Fin said.

"It would be nice," Olivia said sweetly.

"What you want?" he asked.

"Chinese?" Olivia said looking at Elliot who nodded, "Chinese. Um, Kung POW chicken and sweet and sour pork with egg rolls and fortune cookies."

"Okay, "Fin said, "I'll be there in a few."

"Thanks, Fin. You're a life-saver," Olivia said.

"No problem and Liv, I'm glad it went well today, "he said, "I know that it will work."

"I hope so. See ya," she said.

"Bye," Fin said.

They disconnected. Olivia looked at Elliot.

"He'll be here in a few," Olivia said. Elliot nodded.

"How do we pass the time?" Elliot asked.

"Hmm, let's see," Olivia said as she leaned over and kissed him.

Half an hour later, Fin dropped their dinner off and they enjoyed it. Then they just laid together and enjoyed each other's company. It wasn't long before they fell asleep again. Both we're happy and satisfied.

AN: There's the next chapter. I hope that you enjoyed it. I apologize for the long wait. I've had a lot going on. Thank you for reading! More to come!
