Authors Note: Thank you all for the reviews. I Hope you all enjoy this chapter, and once again I do not own any of these characters.
Also I added a story cover image, let me know what y'all think of it, I'm not totally sure I like it.
The nurse smiled and looked at Olivia and then spoke "Well Detective your words worked, Amanda is out of surgery and is now in recovery."
Once Olivia heard the words come out of the nurse's mouth her heart instantly filled with love, and the biggest smile on her face appeared along with the tears forming in her eyes. "Can I see her?" Olivia asked still smiling.
The nurse nodded her head "Just let me get her situated and then I will come back for you. It will just be a few moments I promise." The nurse told her with a smile of her own. This is one of the many reasons she loved her job, giving the good news to families, when it feels like there is no other option but bad.
Olivia nodded and then the gang watched the nurse walk away, Finn grabbed Olivia and gave her a giant hug. "See we all knew Amanda was a strong one." Finn told her with a smile, and Olivia could do nothing more but smile back.
It only took the nurse five minutes to return, "Now are you all coming back right now?" The nurse asked.
"Yes…" Olivia began but Cragen cut her off.
"No Liv, you just go right now. Tell Amanda we are all here for her and we will see her shortly, but right now you just go and spend time with her." Cragen told her and he could see that Olivia was about to reject but Cragen spoke again. "That's an order."
Olivia smiled and nodded her head and then looked back at the nurse. "Then I guess it is just me." Olivia told her and the nurse smiled.
"Okay let me just warn you, she is still groggy but she is almost fully awake." The nurse told her, Olivia nodded and then followed the nurse to Amanda's room. "Here we are, I will be over at the nurses station if you should need anything." The nurse told her and then shut the door, to give Olivia and Amanda the privacy they needed.
Olivia took a deep breath when she saw Amanda lying on that hospital bed, she knew it was all her fault, Lewis went after her, and even if people told her otherwise Olivia would never forgive herself.
"Hey" Olivia whispered as she walked over to the side of Amanda's bed, and sat on the edge of it taking her hand in hers.
"Liv?" Amanda asked in barely above a whisper.
"Hey baby, it's me. You are okay now, you are safe." Olivia told her softly and she saw Amanda start to open her eyes.
"You have…have to get Brian and Bar…" Amanda started to tell her softly but Olivia stopped her by placing her fingers to her lips.
"Shh don't worry we got them. Lewis is dead." Olivia told her softly and Amanda smiled.
"Did you kill him?" Amanda asked with a smile and Olivia nodded "Good" Amanda said with a smile.
"Everybody is out in the waiting room, but don't worry we will get through this together." Olivia told her softly while she pulled Amanda's hand slowly up to her lips and placed a kiss on it. "I am so sorry, this is my fault. This should have never have happened to you. I love you so much Amanda Rollins." Olivia told her.
"It's not your fault Liv, don't think that for a second. I love you too, Olivia Benson." Amanda told her softly as her eyes started to close and a nurse came walking in.
"I am sorry to interrupt but we really need to let Ms. Rollins sleep." The nurse told them as sweetly as she could.
Olivia nodded before she asked "Can I stay here with her?"
The nurse shook her head "I am sorry but we can't let you do that, don't worry she is in good hands." The nurse told her and Olivia nodded sadly.
"Can I have a minute then?" Olivia asked and the nurse nodded and walked out of the room. Once the nurse was gone, Olivia leaned over and placed a kiss to Amanda's forehead "I love you, and I will see you in the morning." Olivia whispered thinking Amanda was already asleep, that was until she heard a voice as she turned to walk out of the room.
"Is that how you kiss the one you love goodbye Detective?" Amanda asked and when Olivia turned around she saw she was smiling.
"No it's not." Olivia smiled at her and walked back over to her and leaned in to give her a soft kiss goodbye.
"Stop blaming yourself Liv, this isn't your fault." Amanda whispered against their lips before she gave her one last kiss goodbye.
As Olivia made her way back to the waiting room she spotted both the nurses she had dealt with so far and she stopped in front of the nurse's station. "Thank you" Olivia told them both with a smile and they both nodded.
Finn was the first one to spot Olivia come through the double doors and quickly stood up. "How is she?" he asked as the rest of the gang stood up.
"She's good, she fell back to sleep, but she will pull through." Olivia told them.
"She is a fighter, just like you and we all have your back." Cragen told her and Olivia nodded.
"Thank you, all of you. But I think I am just going to head out now." Olivia told them and they all understood and Finn gave her back her car keys as they told her if she needed anything to not hesitate to call.
Elliot took it upon himself and walked Olivia to her car and before he said goodbye he just had to ask. "How long have you been with Amanda?"
"It's been over a year." Olivia told him, and she just hoped her former partner didn't care.
Elliot didn't say anything for a few moments but then he asked another question. "Are you happy, does she make you happy?"
Olivia smiled "Yes she does. Very happy."
Elliot nodded his head "Good, then I am happy for you. you deserve happiness Liv. But if she does anything to you, or hurts you in any way then she has to deal with me." Elliot told her.
Olivia chuckled "Yeah you and everybody else." Elliot laughed too at this "But thank you, for everything." Olivia told him.
"Hey we may not work together anymore, but I always have your back." Elliot told her
"Same here partner." Olivia said as she got into her car.
"Have a good night Liv, call if you need anything." Elliot told her once she rolled down the window.
"Thanks El and you too." Olivia told him and then drove off.
Olivia drove to the hotel that the department had put her and Amanda up at. Once she got inside she was greeted by Frannie. "Hey girl, I am so sorry no one has spent much time with you." Olivia told the dog as she knelt to the ground and showered her with kisses and hugs. "You got to go out?" Olivia asked and Frannie barked "Of course you do" Olivia chuckled and hook the leash on her.
Olivia took Frannie out and walked her around a bit outside to get some exercise, but she could tell she wanted to go for a run. "I'm sorry girl, its been a long day. Maybe tomorrow" She told her and then walked her back inside.
Once they were back inside the hotel room, Olivia gave her fresh water and food. "Alright you be a good girl, I am going to go and take a shower." She told Frannie as she checked to make sure the door was completely locked before she made her way into the bedroom to grab what she needed and then walked into the bathroom and shut the door but left it ajar.
Olivia stood under the hot spray of the water, as the tears made her way down her face. The images of Amanda being shot, and hearing her scream out in pain were running over and over in her head. "I am so sorry, it's all my fault" Olivia mumbled over and over to herself until she heard a knock softly at the door, and then Frannie started to bark.
"Jesus who could that be?" Olivia mumbled to herself as she turned off the water, and stepped out of the shower pulling on a robe. "I swear those boys just won't take no for an answer" Olivia mumbled again as she walked out into the bedroom of the hotel room and grabbed her gun and then made her way into the living room and saw Frannie barking at the door. "It's okay girl" She told the dog and she instantly stopped.
Olivia walked up to the door and peaked through the peek hole and was taken by surprised. She unlocked and opened the door. "Alex what are you doing here?" She asked not even remembering that she answered the door in her robe with wet hair.
The blonde woman smiled at Liv as she held up two bottles of wine "I figured you could use some company, can I come in?"
