It had been two weeks since that day that Fin had helped her open her eyes as she liked to call it. Her life had become a routine of sorts since that day as well. She spent her days in the court room and her evenings in Olivia's room preparing for trial. Fin or Munch would always show up around nine to escort her home and stay with her. The rest of the time she had an assigned uniformed officer that shadowed her. She could only imagine the type of background investigation they had endured from Captain Cragen before being chosen. True to his word the officer was lead to believe that she was assigned the protective detail because she was with Olivia at the time of the shooting and it was a precaution since they were uncertain who the actual target was and the motive behind it.

Then one week ago Fin had arrived in the middle of the day with orders from Cragen to bring her to the hospital. As soon as he had told her that she almost panicked but Fin assured her that everything was ok. All he was told was the doctor wanted to meet with Elliot and Cragen to discuss the next step of her treatment. Alex was shocked and asked why she was called for since they had power of attorney of her medical affairs. Fin had laughed when she asked him this and informed her that even though they may have medical power of attorney they wanted her included in the decision that was made.

With fear and worry like she had never experienced before she entered Olivia's room with the same confidence that she entered the courtroom on a daily basis. Elliot and Cragen was waiting for her and instantly paged Dr. Mathews. He arrived within a few minutes and informed her that he would like to stop the medication that was keeping her in a medically induced coma. For the most part the majority of her injuries had healed to where she would still be in pain but nothing like she was. He also pointed out that the longer they kept her under the harder it would possibly be for her to come out of the coma. After a brief discussion everyone agreed that it was for the best. Dr. Mathews thanked them for their time and instantly wrote the order to stop the medication. Before leaving the room he did remind them that there was no guarantee that she would wake up because they weren't sure how much of the coma she was in was actually medically induced.

For two days straight Alex never left her side just in case Olivia had woken up even for a brief moment. It was during those two days that she had considered her options concerning Olivia. The one thing she had come to realize was that as much as she wanted to deny it she couldn't, she loved Olivia with all her heart and had for a while. The more she came to terms with it the more she realized that as much as she hated the title of a home wrecker when it came to Olivia she didn't care. She wanted and needed the brown haired beauty in her life and was willing to give Stacia a run for her money.

This was why she went to Captain Cragen and informed him of what she had discovered about Stacia and asked him to track her down. He had looked at her funny and asked why she would want to do that. She did her best to explain how she felt and why she wanted Stacia to have the time with Olivia. She was determined that if she was going to fight for Olivia that the very least she could possibly do was make it a fair fight. Not that that really mattered because everyone knew that nothing was ever fair in love and war.

It took him a couple of days but Cragen had informed her that with the help of Fin they were able to track her down and informed her that they were able to substantiate the claim of her being Olivia's girlfriend, at least to an extent. Since the evidence they had had pointed to them having been in a relationship but had broken up. With some further investigation they were able to discover what appeared to have been reconciliation between the two ladies and they were willing to place her on the allowed visitor list. Stacia had been overjoyed at the discovery and immediately went to see Olivia.

Since she was now on the list Alex did her best not to run into the woman. Yes she had every intention of doing what she could to call Olivia hers but she had no intentions of rubbing salt into an open wound. Most days after court she would call ahead to Olivia's assigned guard and find out if Stacia was visiting or not. If she wasn't immediately after court Alex would have her detail take her to the hospital and then would dismiss them. From that time on she would sit in Olivia's room going over her work or watching TV until one of the guys would show up to take her home and stay with her.

Today was no exception to any other day except that court had ran over and that infuriated her beyond belief. Deep down she knew she had to see Olivia. Why she didn't know.

"Officer Ramirez" The officer said answering the phone that was issued to them and passed on at shift change to the officer relieving them.

"Ramirez this is ADA Cabot. Is Detective Benson alone?" She said pacing her office.

"Yes Ma'am and she has been for the last two hours."

"I take it since I had not received a phone call that there has been no change in her situation?"

"That is correct ma'am." Ramirez answered knowing he would rather face a rip or loss of his job than to deal with the anger of the blonde hair attorney. He had been warned by many officers to make sure to do as she asked otherwise there would be no telling what type of ass chewing he would encounter. Hell he was shocked when the nurses bent over backwards for her.

"Very well." Alex answered as she stopped pacing and sat down in her chair leaning back "It will be about twenty minutes before I can leave here and head that way. I am stopping on my way though to grab some dinner what would you like to eat?"

"Where are you planning on stopping ma'am?" Ramirez asked having learned the hard way on his first shift on refusing dinner from the attorney.

"I am stopping at the deli to grab a sandwich but I will stop any where you would like."

"The deli is fine with me ma'am I would like a roast beef sub with lettuce, tomato, pickles, black olives, oil and vinegar with light mayo and mustard."

"Very well" Alex answered as she folded the paper she had just written the officer's order on and placed it in her jacket pocket "I should be there in about an hour give or take."

"Yes ma'am" Ramirez answered as he hung up.

It was almost an hour later when Alex was able to breathe a sigh of relief when her detail pulled up to the entrance of the hospital. They parked in the spot marked for police cars only and silently escorted the attorney to the detective's floor.

"Officer Ramirez here is your dinner and I wish not to be disturbed till either Fin or Munch arrives do you understand?" Alex asked handing him his dinner as she walked on into the room.

"Yes ma'am I do but…" He started to say but was cut off when she entered the room and shut the door behind her. Oh lord he knew he was about to lose his shield in about thirty seconds. In all fairness though she had not waited to hear what he had to tell her though so it wasn't entirely his fault.

"Let me tell you about..." Alex started to say but stopped when she realized that she was not alone in the room like usual. Instead she was staring into a pair of brown eyes that she had began to wonder if she would ever see again. That normally would have made her jump for joy except for the fact that she was staring into those eyes over the shoulder of the blonde haired woman hugging her.

"Alex" Olivia croaked out as she watched the woman she loved drop her briefcase and run from the room when Stacia turned around to face her.

A/N: Sorry for the wait but Olivia is now finally awake. Hopefully we can see the full extent of her injuries now. Although please remember that I know nothing Medically expect what I have learned from ER, Grey's Anatomy and such. If any of the information is wrong please forgive me. I do research it to the best of my abilities. As always reviews are welcomed.
