A Protector's Love [Benson and Carisi]

{Forty-Five}

Olivia knew she should have gone straight to where Lola was, but she smelt like the lab and wanted to go home. She raced home and shower, before waking her husband up from where he was sleeping on the couch.

"Dominick." Olivia breathed, as she gently rubbed his chest. She had just made a call to her parents to tell them that she was on her way to the hospital, and now she just had to tell her husband so he didn't get worried when she didn't come home in the morning.

"It's your turn to change Sawyer." Dominick yawned. Olivia brushed a tear from her cheek as she shook her head.

"No, Dom. I need you to wake up and actually look at me. I have to get going soon." Olivia breathed. She watched as her husband's tall frame rolled over on the short couch before he made eye contact with his wife.

"Liv?" He asked quietly.

"I'm not going to be home in the morning. I'm going to the hospital because Lola hurt herself. Stay here with Sawyer, and I'll call you when I know anything at all. Okay?" Olivia breathed.

"What happened? A car accident? Did someone touch her?!" Dominick asked, getting all protective of his wife's baby sister. When he married Olivia, he gained two more siblings, and Lola was so special and he loved her like he loves his baby sisters.

"Dominick, just... I need to go. Alright?" Olivia spoke before she gave his cheek a shaky kiss. She stood and quickly moved to the door before slipping on her sneakers. She went to grab a windbreaker when she felt her husband's arms around her waist.

"What happened to Lola?" He whispered.

"She slit her wrists, Dom... I know that she hasn't told my parents about the baby yet... or Robbie... but it's getting too much for her. I'm going to go to the hospital now." Olivia whimpered. Dominick shook his head as he turned her around.

"I'm going to pack up Sawyer. We are a family and need to be together. All of us. So please, go warm up the car and we will be there soon."

When they got to the hospital, it was scary quiet. Dominick was carrying Sawyer as he snored softly in his sleep. Olivia was carrying the diaper bag as she tried to stay calm enough to talk to doctors or nurses if needed.

"Liv?" Robbie asked as he watched his sister's family approach the small group in the waiting room.

"How is she?" Olivia breathed, as she quickly hugged her big brother tightly.

"She's sleeping... she won't allow any of us to come in. She's waiting for you. She said that you know what's been bothering her and that she wants you to tell us." Robbie spoke. Olivia bit her lip before nodding slowly. She turned to look at her family before glancing over where Dominick was swaying in his spot to keep Sawyer asleep.

"Lola has been rebelling because she is tired of being compared to me... so she has been doing things that I would never do. Like sleeping around. She is so depressed and anxious because she's pregnant. We went and saw Dr. Smith the day after she called me and asked me over to the house. She's around 9 weeks pregnant." Olivia spoke. She watched as her mother's face grew red with anger, and she didn't know if it was towards herself or Lola.

"Are you Olivia?" A nurse asked, and Olivia turned around before nodding.

"I am. Does Lola want to see me?" Olivia breathed.

"She does. Please follow me." The nurse spoke. Olivia passed her husband the diaper bag before following the nurse as tears welled in her eyes.

She knew this was going to be hard, but not this hard.

Olivia walked into Lola's room and saw her laying on the bed with her arms wrapped up with bandages. There were a few bruises on her stomach, and Olivia frowned. Lola seemed okay when she last saw her, but everything had gone downhill. And very quickly.

"Bunny." Olivia frowned. Lola looked at Olivia before swallowing hard.

"I can't tell Momma and Daddy." Lola sniffled.

"Lola... I told them. You told them that I'd tell them." Olivia spoke as she awkwardly gnawed on her swollen bottom lip.

"I know! But I should still at least tell them that I'm pregnant but don't want the baby. That I don't want to be a mother!" Lola sobbed.

"You put me... nevermind... why didn't you tell me you were feeling bad?" Olivia asked.

"You knew! Olivia this is all your fault!" Lola cried. Olivia slowly stepped back before shaking her head.

"I'm sorry that you got pregnant and aren't ready for that responsibility... but this will never be my fault. I have loved you and cared for you since you were born. I have always helped you when you needed it, and this isn't any different."

"Why couldn't you have fucked up?" Lola hissed.

"I don't know, Lola. Maybe because I've had my head on straight. If this is going to turn into you hating me and blaming me for your pregnancy, then I'm leaving. I cannot do this." Olivia spoke. She moved to leave, but Lola started to gasp. Olivia turned around quickly, as she saw her sister sobbing.

"Lola-"

"It hurts." She sobbed. Olivia looked at her sister in confusion before seeing the white bedsheets start to slowly turn scarlet.

Olivia was pulled from the room, and she was pushed back towards the waiting room. She stood their numbly before Serena came over and started to yell at her. It was a common thing for Olivia to get bitched at when Lola got in trouble because she usually tried to help her sister. But this time, Olivia couldn't deal with the yelling. She turned around quickly and stared at her mother.

"Lola is bleeding, Mother. So while you are yelling at me, your baby is in there probably losing her baby. So back the fuck off of me."
