News on Olivia
My heart was pounding as the doctor walked out in to the surgical waiting room. "Mrs. Cabot can we step over here and talk for a minute please?" "Ok" I say nervously as we step over to the nurse's station. "Mrs. Cabot we were able to remove the bullet and repair all the damage, she should make a full recovery. "Oh thank god I was so scared that I would lose her." " she will have to be on bed rest for a week once she gets home, but we don't think she needs any physical therapy or anything like that." "That's good how long will she have to stay in the hospital?" I ask knowing full well Liv hates hospitals. "I would say 3 or 4 days at the most." "Liv isn't going to like that she hates hospital." "Just one last question doctor when can I see her? I want to see her." "You can see her now she might not be awake but you can see her room 123."
As I walk down the hall towards liv's room m heart is pounding hard in my chest. It was pounding because I was scared to see her beat up, but the other reason is that I can't wait to see my wife. When I approach liv's room her door is closed, but I could see the machines were turned and I could hear them beeping. I opened the door slowly so that I would not draw attention to the room or myself or liv. I opened the door just enough so that I could slip in and slowly and softly shut the door. I walk over to her hospital bed slowly so I didn't accidently trip and fall on liv's fragile body. I see a chair against the wall I pull it up to liv's bed side and sits down and take liv's hand.
An hour later I'm lightly stroking liv's hair and telling her over and over again how much I love her. I stop every now and then o kiss her forehead. When I kiss her this time I hear a moan come from liv's lips. "Al is that you she says softly so I have to lean in in to hear her. "Yes liv baby I'm right here" I say as I lightly stroke her hair and her cheek. "Al is Elliot ok I couldn't find him when I got shot." "Yea baby he's fine he's in the waiting room waiting to see you. He even rode in the ambulance with you holding your hand. ""Ok Al I want to see El, I need to see he's ok and talk to him." "Ok baby shhh shhh don't cry I'll text him the room number and tell him you want to see him ok?" "Ok Al as long as I get to see him I'm good with anything."
