Me, Eden and Emily (a Bensler fanfic)

12

Elliot went home the next morning and picked up Emily after thanking amanda for watching her and telling amanda what they had to do.

Amanda held herself together in front of Emily but began to cry in the living room of elliot and Olivia's house after elliot had left with Emily.

Elliot did the best he could to explain things to Emily and once at the hospital he got out held his now crying child in his arms. "I know princess this is gonna be hard but we have to say goodbye and show her we love her ok." He said and Emily nodded as she whimpered  and tried to wipe her tears.

Olivia had stayed behind at the hospital and was still holding her daughters hand. Olivia sat remembering how hard it was when she was pregnant. Ben had beat her, raped her and once even threw her down a flight of stairs. Yet her daughters still survived by some miracle and after a year and a half of abuse after they were born olivia finally got the nerve to leave. Things had been so good until the diagnosis. She couldn't believe all her and her daughters had been through and this was how she was going to lose one of them. She looked at the door as she heard it open and seen Emily and elliot come through.

Emily ran to her mother and jumped in to her lap burying her face in her mothers chest. "Why does edie have to go? Why can't she be better?" Emily cried.

"I wish she could my love but we can't let her stay like this cause she'll just be in pain and none of us want that." Olivia said "but you know what?"

"What?" Emily whimpered.

"We may not be able to see your sister after today but she's always going to be with us. She will be around when we need her the most. So this isn't really goodbye it's more like ....see you when I see you or see you later." Olivia continued trying to console her daughter and herself.

Emily nodded as olivia wiped away her daughters stray tears and watched Emily walk over and kiss Edens cheek "I'll miss you lots sissy. Don't forget me."

Fin had come and said his goodbye to the little girl he'd come to care so much for. He then took Emily to the waiting room so elliot and olivia could say thier goodbyes.

"Hey buttercup. You are one of the 3 most beautiful girls in this world and I'm so happy that I got to be your daddy even if it was cut short. You have fun up there playing with the angels" elliot said as he  kissed her forehead. He looked at olivia and said "you want me to stay with you when they....do it?"

Olivia shook her head "I need some time alone with her. I'll be alright." She said holding back a flood of tears.

"I'll be right outside the door if you need me ok?" He said.

She nodded and watched him leave the room. She stood over her daughters bed and said "I will always love you Eden. You and your sister were my miracle babies and that will never change. No one who knew you will ever forget you but especially me." She felt her tears escaping down her cheeks as she continued. "There were so many things I wanted to do with you and see you do. Like go on your first date, your first dance, go to college and get married and I'm so so sorry that I'll never have that with you my beautiful girl. ....just know mommy always loves you and I don't want you to hurt anymore even if it means I have to feel the hurt." She cried silently as she showered her daughters face with kisses and stroked her balded forehead. She seen the doctor and a nurse step in. "Are you ready Ms. Benson?" Dr. Hanson asked.

"I'll never be ready but....I guess I have to be...can you ask my boyfriend to come in please." She said as the nurse left and returned with elliot a moment later.

Elliot wrapped olivia in his arms as olivia gripped her daughters hand. The doctor and nurse began unhooking machines leaving the hear monitor on as the beeping noises got worse and worse until her heart finally stopped and olivia burst in to her worst fit of tears she ever had before and sunk in to elliot crying hysterically in to his chest.

Eden was gone and olivia felt destroyed more then she ever had before.
