Why'd You Leave Me?[ A Bensler FanFic]

Chapter 29

Lark stayed till the end of the week, before he went back to Atlanta. I wanted to go with him, but I also needed to stay and help out, and everything fell onto my shoulders.

I took Tyler and Sadie to school, and then Hazel and I spent the day together, either she played while I cleaned the house, or she helped me make dinner and bake cookies.

It was nice to just spend time with my youngest sibling, because I have been in college and busy with other things since she was born.

"Harper!" My father called as he came running into the kitchen through the garage door.

"Dad, what's wrong?" I asked, as I picked up Hazel and placed her on my hip.

"She woke up." He spoke, as smile covering his face.

"What are you doing here then?" I questioned quickly.

"She sent me here to get her some stuff. Can you pick up the Ty and Sadie from school and bring them over to the hospital right away?" He questioned, and I nodded.

"Of course!"

I waited in the main office of the school, and a teacher's aide walked down with Tyler, and Sadie was walking from the other way.

"Harper, what is this about?" Sadie questioned quickly.

"Mom woke up." I smiled, and their eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Dad took Hazel up there, and I'm in charge of getting you two there." I smiled, and Tyler quickly hugged me.

"I can't wait to see Mommy!"

I drove to the hospital, and we all got out. Sadie and I held Ty's hands, and walked towards the ICU.

"Um, we are looking for Olivia Stabler's room." I spoke, and the nurse sighed.

"She was moved to the recovery wing. Take those elevators to the 6th floor and walk all the way down till you reach the 610 room."

When we got into the room, Olivia was sitting up and watching as Hazel played at the end of her bed. She had a confused expression covering her face, and I bit my lip.

"Mommy!" Tyler exclaimed, and he ran over to the bed. She looked down at him, then at Sadie and me.

"Who are all of these people?" She questioned, and my worst fears were confirmed.

"You don't know who we are?" Sadie questioned, and I frowned.

"Dad, I'm going to take the kids home now." I whispered, and she looked at me.

"You are Elliot's daughter?" She spoke, and I swallowed hard.

"Yeah. But, lets not worry about that right now. Sadie grab Hazel." I spoke, and she nodded slowly.

We walked out and I felt a tear run down my cheek, but I quickly wiped it away.

"Why doesn't Mommy know who we are?" Tyler questioned, and I swallowed hard.

"Mommy just woke up from a long nap. She'll remember us soon." I replied.

What if she never did though? What if she doesn't remember everything that has happened? I want her in Tucker's life, but that might not happen.

My father came home and wanted to talk to the kids, so he sent me back to the hospital. Olivia was sleeping, and most likely wouldn't wake up until the morning. He just wanted me to be there in case something happened.

I sat in the chair on the far side of the room, and I shifted in it until I was comfortable. I then closed my eyes slowly.

It wasn't long before I heard her speak.

"Who are you?" She whispered, and I opened my eyes. I sat up and ran my hands over my stomach to calm Tucker before speaking.

"I'm Harper. Your oldest daughter." I spoke, and she nodded slowly.

"And those other kids?" 

"The youngest is Hazel, then the little boy is Tyler, and the next oldest is Sadie."

"Your children?" She questioned, and I laughed.

"No. I'm not a mother yet, I will be soon." I smiled.

"Really?" She asked, and I nodded.

"Yeah. I'm having a little boy. We are naming him Tucker Elliot Thompson."

"Are you married?"

"Yes."

"Name?" She spoke.

"Lark. He and I met through Aunt Amanda."

"Amanda? Where is she?" She spoke quickly, and I smiled softly.

"She is at home in bed with her husband and daughter."

"Nick?"

"No, Dominick. Then her daughter is-"

"Jesse." She spoke.

"How did you know?"

"I guess I remember some stuff."

"I just wish that you would remember us."

"Why don't I?" She whimpered, and I moved over to her side of the bed, and sat on the chair there.

"You were being the fearless Olivia Benson. You were shot saving people."

"Benson..." She trailed off.

"Yeah, your maiden name."

"My mom?" She spoke, and I swallowed hard.

"She passed away."

"Yeah." She spoke quietly.

I looked at her, and didn't see my mother.

"Um, M-. Olivia, I can go get something to eat or go for a walk, if you feel more comfortable if someone you don't know wasn't here." I replied.

"I know you, but I don't know you." She replied, and I nodded.

"I'll be back in a hour or so. Try to get some sleep." I replied.

"No, please. I don't want to send you out to just walk around. Can you tell me more about you? Like did we have a good relationship?"

"We did... I hope we can get that back." I breathed, as I sat back down.

"Harper, I want to remember. I swear." 

"I know you do." I smiled, and she ran her hands through her hair and sighed.

"Elliot is really handsome and sweet." She spoke, and I laughed.

"Happy that he is yours?" I questioned, and she smiled.

"I am. I remember everything with him, but with you and your siblings, it isn't there."

"Olivia, I can take the kids back to Atlanta with me, and you and Dad can go home and you can recover. Once you are better, and maybe start to remember, I can bring them back." I spoke.

"The younger two are so small, they must be just as scared as I am about this."

"Hazel and Tyler won't remember this."

"God do I hope they won't." She breathed.

"Want to sleep?" I asked.

"Can you tell me more? Like about you and your husband. I want to know everything about the two people giving me my first grandson."
