Being locked alone inside of a room, gave Elliot plenty of time to think. Mostly his thoughts were of Olivia. He knew all this time that he loved her, and wanted nothing more than to be with her for the rest of his life. It was a mistake for him to come back to Kathy, only to realize that had been a mistake. The day that he shot Jenna, he knew that she wanted out of the marriage; knowing his heart really wasn't into it.
Afterwards, Elliot moved into a one bedroom apartment; his life now a major mess. The only choice he had was to retire; although knowing that it would hurt the woman that he loved for so long. Yet, Olivia could carry on without him; she was much stronger than he was.
With her now pregnant with his child, Elliot knew he had to figure out a way for them to escape. That seemed almost an impossibility since; Jason had taken measures to prevent that. As he continued to work out, he knew that this guy was planning on killing him. It made sense, the beatings plus starving him.
As more thoughts of Olivia flooded into his mind, Elliot knew that for the times they spent together; he knew that they were meant for each other. However, inside he still couldn't help but think if Olivia was better off with David.
Jason had taunted him with photos of the two, but Elliot saw how happy she was. Olivia deserved that, except now, he knew that Jason had taken that away from her. He made sure she had minimal contact with anyone; which already was affecting her mentally.
Olivia needed comfort and love, especially now. Elliot felt it, each and every day wondering how she even got through the day without anyone to talk to; nonetheless love.
He wanted to hold her at night, plant a kiss on her cheek just moments before she awoke. Yet the way it was looking, Elliot might never get the chance to. Being locked inside of this room, made him lonelier but knew that Olivia felt the same.
Just down the hallway, a sigh escaped Olivia's mouth as she put down the crossword puzzle book. She was tired of doing these puzzles every day, since there was nothing else to. Right now, her mind was on Elliot; wanting him.
Those eyes of his, she could almost drown in as her hand gently rested on her stomach. Olivia wondered how she would even survive her entire pregnancy here. She was already aching to talk to Elliot, wanting to do something other than crossword puzzles.
Olivia wanted him to hold her close; feeling his lips on her cheek. She needed him badly, but trying to convince Jason was out of the question. This guy seemed keen on keeping them apart; as well as avoiding any contact with both.
The only time she saw him was when he placed a tray of food onto the folding TV table in the morning and evening. Otherwise, Olivia remained alone. She yearned to go outside, and feel the warm sun on her face.
Being here she couldn't even open up a window for some fresh air. The air in this place was being controlled, it was cool plus there were two vents near her. One on the ceiling and the other on the floor.
That wasn't enough, besides Olivia was sick of being trapped inside of this room. There wasn't anything for her to, and she was through with doing crossword puzzles. Her mind needed more stimulation, which didn't seem to be happening.
ONE MONTH LATER
Olivia was escorted downstairs and outside to a waiting car. The drive wasn't far but the building where they were going creped her out. Almost immediately she distrusted the doctor, who told her to lie back and expose her stomach. Jason gently pushed her down," Relax, it's just a sonogram."
She let out a sighed as she pulled up her shirt, before the doctor spread some gel onto her stomach. Not once was Olivia able to see the first images of her baby. There was a curtain that prevented that, as the doctor continued moving the transducer around.
Inside, Olivia felt saddened. She wanted to feel the joy of seeing those images, along with hearing the heartbeat. Neither of that happened, leaving her worried and upset. This was her baby, she had every right to see.
Once the curtain had opened, Jason rubbed off the gel, before helping her up, " You can use the bathroom when you get back."
The ride back was quiet, but at least Olivia got to see something other than the ugly wallpaper she was now accustomed to seeing. After they returned, Jason led her back upstairs as Olivia continued arguing with him.
Elliot was standing on the other side of the door, listening to her voice. He could hear the distress, mixing with sadness. More importantly the topic was about their baby. Elliot wanted to throttle Jason, for making Olivia feel this way.
Once he heard Jason yelling loudly before slamming the door shut, his heart broke knowing that this girl was crying inside. She didn't deserve this, although he didn't hear the whole entire conversation.
Sure enough, Olivia was trying to hold back her tears as she washed her hands. Her child's health was important and not knowing if he or she was alright terrified her. More importantly, that Olivia already loved her baby.
She wanted nothing more than to see the sonogram photos that Jason now had. They meant so much to her, but he refused to hand them over. Olivia knew they belonged to her; not him. She couldn't take anymore of this, wanting nothing more than to go home with Elliot.
He didn't deserve to be trapped here, but Jason's control was tightening. He lied about letting her see him, which she knew it wouldn't happen. Olivia didn't believe his lies, knowing that this guy was simply trying to brainwash her.
She was much stronger, as well as not falling into his spell of allowing him to have complete control. Olivia still had herself; but knew that she couldn't allow her baby to be born here. To have him or her taking their first breath in his arms or the doctor's.
That repulsed her knowing that it would happen. If anyone was going to deliver her baby it would be Elliot. She was the only one she trusted here. The situation was only going to worsen.
