The nurses took Lizzie in right away because everyone at Mercy General Hospital knew Olivia. They brought her back to a room, asked Olivia to fill out a bunch of papers and for an insurance card. Luckily, Elliot had given her an extra copy of his insurance card a few years back, in case he got injury at work and need to go to the emergency room.
Twenty minutes later, they had Lizzie hooked up to an IV and a monitor to just for precautions. The doctor came in to examine Lizzie and not even ten minutes later, he was back saying that Lizzie had Tonsillitis.
"But I took her to the doctor earlier today; the doctor said it was just a cold."
"The start of it can be mistaken as a cold; I'm assuming Lizzie's throat wasn't all red and swollen early as it is now, to even concern the other doctor to think it was anything more than a common cold. We are going to keep her here, start her on an antibiotic and do surgery in the more. We feel it is best to remove her tonsils."
"Is it okay if I stay her with her?"
"Yes, but the other two children can't."
"Okay, can one of the nurses stay with them while I go to use the phone?"
"Yes, I'll send someone in."
Elliot had the worst scenarios running through his head and could not get them out. He kept thinking if maybe he hadn't taken Kathy to court that this wouldn't have happened. Maybe they would have been safe at home with her, they would be unhappy but they would be safe. He really hated sitting in the precinct doing nothing, but he knew everyone was doing what they could to find them; he would only be getting in the way.
Elliot prayed to god, "Just please, please let them be okay. I couldn't forgive myself if something horrible happened to them."
Olivia walked out with Casey and Dickie, holding Ella in her car seat, to Casey's car.
"Where did you park Case?"
"Right next to you, I figured it would be the easiest especially since you need to take out the baby's car seat base."
"Yeah, I do. Here's the key to my apartment. You're welcome to whatever you want, you can just put them to bed and they will be fine. Ella might need to be changed and probably feed in a few hours but there are premade bottles in one of these diaper bags, so you won't have to worry about measurements or anything like that. Thank you so much again Case."
"Hey, what else are friend for, if not to meet you at the hospital at almost one in the morning?"
Olivia got the kids settled in Casey car and said goodbye, then made her way back to Lizzie.
"Hey, sweetie how are you feeling?"
"My throat really hurts."
"I know baby, I think they are going to give you something to help with the pain and to help you sleep."
One of the nurses came in and asked to speak with Olivia.
"Miss…."
"Benson"
"Miss Benson, on the forms you filled out you have your daughter's last name as Stabler, why is that?"
"Oh she's not my daughter, I'm watching her for my neighbor, and he's a cop; so his schedule is always changing, he is still at work I couldn't get a hold of him."
"Oh okay, just wanted to clear that up."
"Liviee, will you lay with me?"
"Of course, baby."
Olivia climbed into the hospital bed with Lizzie; she was relieved that they let Lizzie keep her pajamas on, instead of having to get changed into a hospital gown. Olivia laid there holding Lizzie, wishing that this is what her life could be like always. She loved Elliot's kids as much as she loved him; this is what she wanted to be a family with him and their children. Olivia moved her head slowly and looked down at Lizzie who was fast asleep; so she figured why not try and get some sleep herself.
Nurse's Station
"Manhattan SVU"
"Hi, I'm a nurse at Mercy General Hospital; I'm calling about the report that was sent out for the missing twins. There's a lady that came in with two children that fit the description, she's still here with the little girl but she said her friend come get the little boy."
"Thank you for your help."
The nurse hung up the phone and turned to one of the nurses standing next to her.
"I hope I'm doing the right thing."
INSERT LINE BREAK
"ELLIOT!"
"What's up Captain?"
"We got a lead. A nurse at MGH says a woman came in with a little boy and girl that fit the description of the Dickie and Lizzie, come on let's go check it out."
Elliot's head was spinning, what kind of person takes someone's children and then goes to a public place where they could be spotted. They reached the hospital in less then ten minutes and didn't even bother to park the car. They hopped out and ran inside the emergency entrance. Cragen flashed his badge,
"We're here about the tip; a nurse from here called and said that there was a woman here with a little girl that fit the description of the missing little girl."
"Yeah, they're in ROOM 105, its right down this hall third door on the right."
Elliot ran down the hall and slowed once he reached ROOM 105, when he turned to enter the room he saw Lizzie wrapped in Olivia's arms. They looked like a mother and child, a worried mother that wouldn't leave the side of her sick child. They both looked so peaceful lying there together, his eyes filled with tears of joy. Samantha must have left the kids with Olivia, why didn't he think of that in the first place.
So what do you guys think of it so far? should I keep going?
