Natalia walked in to see the woman she was in love with lying in her hospital bed. Rafe, Emma and Ava had already been in to see the other woman. She wanted the kids to get to see her, without upsetting the woman. She walked over and sat in a chair, she took Olivia's hand in hers. Suddenly Olivia woke up and looked at the younger woman
"Hey you"
Olivia smiled
"You want some water?"
Olivia nodded
Natalia reached over and got Olivia a cup of water, which the woman took a drink from happily, "Hey slow down. There is more where that came from"
"Sorry", Olivia rasped out
"Never apologize for that", Natalia ran her hands through the other woman's hair, "How are you feeling?"
"Sore"
"Well Rick said you will be for a while, I am so glad that you are okay"
"So am I"
"I don't know what I would do without you Olivia."
"Well you don't have to worry now"
"But I was Olivia and that made me think."
"Think about what?"
Natalia sighed and tried to get courage and she sighed, "Olivia I love you"
"I love you too"
"And I am not talking about friend love Olivia"
"Neither am I"
"So wait you love me?"
"Yes"
"And I love you?"
"From what you are telling me", Olivia replied
"So can I kiss you?"
"I would love that"
Natalia smiled and leaned in and kissed the other woman. She didn't want to get Olivia all riled up so she ended very sweetly
"Wow"
"You can say that again…You know what don't"
Olivia smiled, "You know me so well"
"Yes I do"
"You should go home and rest"
"I asked Rick if I can stay tonight"
"Natalia…."
"Now you listen to me. I love you and I need to be here and be close to you. You might not like it, but that's tough. Do I make myself clear?"
