This Kiss

Chapter 98

The following afternoon, Olivia was finally released. Natalia, Rafe, and Ava went to the hospital to get her and take her home with their security guards in tow. Phillip and Emma were waiting at the house, putting the final touches on the makeshift room that had been set up in the home office on the main floor of the house. Josh had Shane built a temporary ramp for Olivia that led to the front door since he was in St. Louis overseeing the beginning stages of construction on the new hotel for them.

When they finally pulled up a familiar man was waiting with a wheelchair to help get Olivia into the house. Olivia gasped and opened the door to the car. Sam quickly made it to her and lifted her from the passenger seat and into the chair. "Hey there Livvie."

"Sammie? You d-didn't have to c-come. I k-know you have t-to work."

"Nonsense. Nothing is more important then you and making sure you're okay. I would have come sooner but I didn't have a way to check my emails until last night. I'm so sorry I wasn't here Liv." He said with tears in his eyes.

Olivia grabbed his hand and squeezed it tight. "It's o-okay Sammie. I'm fine. Y-you didn't need to c-come and you don't need to s-stay."

"The hell I don't. You almost died Liv. Again. I already lost one sister, I'm sure as hell not gonna lose another."

Olivia smiled and squeezed his hand again. "Okay. T-thank you for c-coming."

Sam bent down and kissed her cheek before wheeling her into the house. Ava, Natalia, and Rafe all following behind. Paul stayed with the family while Jeremy went to check the perimeter. Once Olivia was in the house, Sam moved her to the couch before Emma came running from the kitchen and saddled up next her. She was careful not to get to close so she didn't hurt her mommy. Phillip had made sure to explain to Emma how Olivia's ribs were hurt and that it would take some time before she could walk a lot and how they had to all be careful not to hurt her.

"I'm so glad you're home mommy. I've missed you so much."

Olivia kissed her cheek and held her as close as she could. "I've missed y-you too Jellybean. Were y-yo-you good f-for your d-da-daddy?"

"Yup. I was extra good once I found out you got hurt, and daddy let me help pick who would be on the security team to keep us safe. And he said that Michael is going to be with me all the time, even at school, and Jason and Kyle will be here soon cause daddy says we need more than two security guards now that you and Rafe and Ma are home and Ava won't be at the hotel anymore."

Olivia's gaze met Phillip's and she smiled her thanks. She then looked to Ava who was looking anywhere but at her mother who didn't know she was staying at The Beacon. "T-thank y-you Phillip, we w-will need to t-talk about all of this i-in a bit. I'm too t-tired right n-now though."

"We'll talk a little later. I'm going to go out and talk with the guys. Figure out who will be doing what and we will talk after you've had time to rest." Phillip said, kissing his ex-wife on the cheek before heading outside to meet with his security team.

Natalia went and sat on the arm of the couch next to Olivia. "Do you want to go and lay down for a little while sweetie? We can talk about everything when you get up."

Olivia nodded. "Yeah. C-can you get Sam to c-come and ta-take me upstairs."

Natalia smiled at her wife. "You're not going upstairs, but yes, I'll get Sam to come help you to our new room for the next few weeks."

Olivia was confused but didn't get a chance to ask questions since Natalia was already halfway up the stairs. She looked down at her daughter. "You g-gonna tell me w-what's going on m-my little J-Jellybean?"
