CHAPTER 6
Liv comes home from the hospital
After several long days in the hospital. The doctors tell liv that they will be releasing her to go home tomorrow. Liv smiles a huge smile hearing she can go home after a week in the hospital. She looks around for Elliot, but she can't seem to find him. She starts to get scared and starts to cry. He was standing right outside her door and he could hear her crying for him. Liv was crying so hard that she was shaking. Liv was curled up in to a ball and rocking back and forth when El came back in to the room. "Liv baby what's wrong" El asks her as he takes liv in to his arms and started to rock her back and forth. "livvy love what's wrong baby what happened?" "I woke up and you were gone" she cries into Elliot. "Oh baby I'm so sorry I went to get a cup of coffee" "I thought I'd be back before you woke up." "It's ok baby I'm just used to you being here when I wake up." "I know you are baby" "el says as he holds her and rubs her back.
Ten minutes later Liv's Doctor comes in with some papers in his hand. "What's going on doctor?" ""Don't worry Olivia it's good news I promise." "I really hope so I'm so tired of this place." "I don't blame you that's why I am here with your release papers."Liv smiles wider then she smiled in a week hearing she gets to go home. "There are a few conditions to your release."" What would those conditions be?" "1. Bed rest for a week 2. You need to have someone to take care of you 3. No work untill we clear you. Do we understand each other Olivia?" "Yes doctor we do I have my husband and my wife Alex too so I should be fine." "Ok well I will need your caretakers to sign to tell us they understand the conditions of your release."" Ok el can you call Alex please?" "Sure livvy love" he takes out his phone and calls Alex. I answer "Cabot"" hey Al it's Elliot they need you to sign Olivia's release papers as a caretaker."" Ok but why do they need me to sign?"" To show that we understand the conditions of Olivia's release."" Oh now that makes sense I'll be over in a half an hour give or take."" Ok see you then Al' he hangs up the phone and so do I. I try to finish my paperwork as fast as I possibly can so that I can get to the hospital.
I arrive at the hospital 25 minutes later with Olivia's favorite leather jacket. I somehow I don't know how finished my paper work in 15 minutes. This gave me time to run home and get her jacket so she will be conferrable when she leaves the hospital. El and her doctor met me in the lobby of the hospital this worried me and Elliot saw it in my face. "It's ok Al she's sleeping"" Oh Thank god I thought something happened." "Al if something happened I would have called you."" Your right El I'm just acting jumpy today."" It's ok Al lets go sit in her room and wait for her to wake up. ""Ok El lets go I want to see her." I go sit right outside her room because a nurse is in there talking to her.
After about 10 minutes I see el walking towards me so I stand up and try not to cry. "Al what's wrong she's ok? " "It's just I hate seeing her like this el." "I know you do Al, but she's needs us to be strong for her." "Let's go help her get ready to go home." I nod as we enter the hospital room we find her sleeping soundly. We both kiss her on the forehead and start to pack her stuff. We try to be as quiet as possible so we don't wake her until we have too. "El do you want to lay out her clothes to go home in or should I?" "I will you finish packing her laptop and the other stuff ok?" "Ok El" I continue to pack her stuff. I tell El that I will bring the stuff to the apartment, so he and liv can have some time alone. Liv wakes up about 10 minutes after I leave. "Hey livvy love you sleep well?" "Yea thank you El. When can I go home?" "Soon Liv we are just waiting for the doctor to make her afternoon rounds." "Ok El how long will that be? I just want to get out of this place." "Just about 10 minutes baby not long now." We sit around sit around and just watch some stupid show on TV just to kill time.
Then the moment came the doctor came in to do her rounds Liv just lays there while the doctor did a quick exam before she gave her the ok to go home. "El can you help me get dressed?"" Sure baby" helps u get in to your comfy sweats and sweat shirt. A nurse comes in with a wheel chair and liv looks at me like do I have to sit in there? "Yes liv baby it's hospital code baby u have too." "Ok El" she says as she sits in the wheel chair with a look of defeat in her eyes. I hold her hand all the way to car and whispered "Its ok baby I'm here."
