Our Love Story (rolivia)

Chapter 7

A Few Hours Later...7:04 AM

I awaken to the sound of someone calling my name. After wiping the sleep out of my eyes, I sit up, and turn my head to the right.

"Morning baby. I'm sorry I woke you. I just wanted to let you know that the Doctor came in to exam my wounds, and he told me that they look good, and if everything goes ok, I can be released either tomorrow, or the next day."

"That's...that's good. Are they bringing you something to eat?"

"I have to call down to the cafeteria and tell them what I want. Can you hand me the phone please?"

"Sure." I get out of the chair/bed and make my way over to Liv's bed. I pick up the phone and hand it to her. I also hand her the menu that was under the phone.

"Thanks baby."

"You're welcome. Do you mind if I head down to the cafeteria to get myself some food?"

"I don't mind. You don't have to be here all the time you know. You can go to work if you want."

"Captain gave me the next couple of days off."

"Oh...ok then. Did the doctor tell you when I can go back to work? I forgot to ask him earlier when he came in to check on me."

"He said that you can go back to work in two weeks. Desk duty only though, and you can go back out in the field in a month and a half or so."

"A month and a half?"

"Yeah."

"Fuck." Ring! Ring! Ring! I take my phone out of the holder on my hip, slide the slider to the right, and put the phone to my ear.

"Rollins." I mumble.

"Hey Amanda, it's Fin. The guy that shot Liv last night...the one that we killed...he was definitely our suspect. His DNA matched the DNA we found on our victim."

"Thank god."

"How's Liv?"

"She's doing good. The Doctor told her that she could go home tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."

"Ok. I gotta go; but I'll stop by later, after I take a nap."

"Ok. See you later. Bye."

"Bye." I hang up my phone and put it into the holder on my hip.

"Who was...oh...hi...yeah...can I order some breakfast please?" Liv says to the person on the phone. A couple of minutes later, she hangs up the phone, and turns her head towards me.

"Who was that on the phone?"

"Fin. He wanted to let me know that the guy that shot you last night...the guy that you guys killed...was definitely your guys' suspect. His DNA matched the DNA found on Eliz...Elizabeth."

"Good...good...I'm glad he's dead...he deserves to rot in hell for what he did to Elizabeth."

"I...I agree. I agree."

"You ok?"

"No...no. I'm...I'm far from ok. You...you could...you could have died. I...I don't know...I don't know what I would have done if you had died. I...I love you so much. God Liv...you...you have no idea how scared I was. I'm...I'm just glad that you were wearing your vest."

"Come here." Liv pats the spot next to her on the bed. I crawl into bed next to Liv, and she wraps her uninjured arm around me. I bury my head in her neck and start crying.

"Shhhh baby, it's ok. Your ok. I'm ok. We're ok. Every thing's ok."

"I...I was scared. So scared."
