Part 2
It took Bonnie an hour to convince her sister to go home; to get some rest. Katie was very resistant to leave her little sister alone, even after the doctor’s said she would be released in a few days and there was no life-threatening damage; Katie still didn’t want her to be alone.
“You need to get some sleep,” Bonnie said, rubbing her sister’s hand in between both of her own. “And you can’t sleep here.”
“Bon, I can’t let you stay here alone, I can’t.” Katie reached out and tucked a stray flyaway brown hair from her sister’s eyes.
“You have to stop worrying.”
“I’m your big sister,” Katie said firmly. “It’s my job to worry.”
“You didn’t call mum, did you?”
“No,” Katie sighed. “But we should; at least to tell her she’s gonna be a grandmother.”
Bonnie smiled and patted her stomach. “Yeah, you’re right... maybe... maybe after I’m better.”
Katie chewed her bottom lip and nodded, it was her sister’s decision, all she could do was support her. “Okay, whatever you want.”
“I want you to go home.” Bonnie said. “Really, they gave me this stuff,” She shook her hand that had her IV attached to it. “And it’s gonna knock me out for like eight hours, so you may as well get some sleep, too.”
Katie suddenly grew tearful again. “I don’t want to leave you.” She muttered.
“Kate. I love you. And I need you. I need you to go home and get some sleep so you can be refreshed enough to take care of me.”
Katie smirked, and finally relented. “Fine, I’ll go.” She leant in and pecked kisses across her sister’s unbruised cheek. “But I’ll be back first thing in the morning.”
“Sounds good.”
Katie clung to Bonnie’s hand as she backed away, only letting go when she was too far away to hold on anymore. “You call me if you need anything, okay?”
“Okay, but like I said, I’ll be sleeping,” Bonnie smiled, even though it hurt her face to do so, she wanted her sister to go and get some rest.
“Bye, honey,” Katie pressed a kiss to her middle and forefinger and blew it to her sister before finally exiting the room.
She took three or four steps down the hall, swung right into an empty corridor and leant back against the cold, too-white wall. Now alone, she let her fear and worry come to a head and let herself burst into tears. She hadn’t expected to cry so hard, it caught her by surprise, and she found herself slinking to the floor, sobbing into her hands resting against her knees. A strange feeling ran through her that made her feel like she might never stop crying.
With a loud sniffle, she raised her head and through her bleary eyes saw Elliot kneeling before her. “Elliot!” She coughed loudly and wiped her eyes. “You’re still here?”
“Yeah; I told Olivia I’d wait for you, make sure you got home.” He said, smiling kindly. “How’s Bonnie doin?”
“Putting on a brave face,” Katie shook her head and exhaled loudly. “Oh, I just wish this hadn’t happened. I should have kept in touch with her, made sure she stayed in the city... something.”
“I’m not gonna spend the rest of the night telling you this isn’t your fault,” Elliot stood up and lowered his hands down to her. “Come on, it’s late.”
Begrudgingly, Katie took his hands and let him pull her to her feet. “Thank you, Elliot, for everything.”
“It’s my job.”
Katie let out a short laugh as the pair headed for the elevator. “No, it’s not.”
“Ok, maybe not.” Elliot smirked at her. “But we’re friends, right?”
“Yeah, we are.” Katie was busy fishing a tissue from her pocket to wipe her eyes.
“Did you call your mother?” Elliot asked as they exited on the ground floor and headed for the exit. “Or your boyfriend, ah, Ben, right?”
“Yeah, Ben,” Katie suddenly remembered. “God, no, I didn’t call him. I-I was just so worried about Bonnie,” She checked her watch. “I dunno what time it is in Washington...”
“They’re about three hours ahead.” Elliot said. “So it’d be early morning there.”
Katie sighed. “He has early meetings, and he’s been going on about them for months, how important they are, he’s on the cusp of getting this brilliant contract in DC building a range of apartment blocks,” She shook her head as they walked out the hospital front door, tugging her jacket around her shoulders in the cool breeze. “No, if I call him, he’ll come right home. He needs to stay there.” She nodded resolutely.
“Come on,” Elliot’s car was right out the front, he opened the passenger’s door for her. “I’ll get you home.”

The doorman, Donny, was off for the night, it was almost five AM, so Katie used her key to get through the main entrance. Elliot came with her, wanting to make sure she got to her apartment alright, saying he was afraid she might collapse or something.
“I’m fine, see?” Katie said with a grin as she opened the front door to her apartment. Something crunched underneath her foot; it was a letter. “It’s from Alexis - my neighbour.” She said, moving aside so Elliot could come in. It was a sweet letter; just telling her that she’d cleaned up the place for her and to call when she’d had some sleep. Smiling, Katie locked the door and left the note in the bowl by the door.
“Wow, I’ve never really seen how nice your place is,” Elliot said as he looked around the living room. The sun was rising, casting a beautiful, orange glow through the apartment, giving everything a warm radiance.
“Yeah, I got lucky. It was my grandmother’s. She left it to me and Bonnie, but Bonnie was all about Penn State so I took it quite happily.” Now that she was home, Katie felt slightly calmer. She made a mental note to get something or do something for Alexis when Bonnie was feeling better; Al had cleaned up all the broken glass and blood smatterings on the carpet. Katie shrugged off her jacket and tossed it on the couch, joining Elliot at looking out at her view. “Like I said,” She glanced at him. “I got lucky.” He just smiled at her in return, and for the first time Katie noticed what he was wearing, or what he wasn’t wearing. She was used to seeing him in work clothes; black slacks and a business shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a tie, his trench coat... right now he wasn’t wearing any of that. He wore an NYPD t-shirt underneath a navy blue sweatshirt and well-worn jeans. “I’m so sorry; I must have gotten you out of bed!” Katie realized, suddenly feeling quite selfish.
“Don’t worry about it,” Elliot chuckled. “I was alone in a crappy apartment watching reruns; thank you for the distraction.”
Katie nudged him with her hip. “Anytime.” She smiled, noticing his eyes linger in hers for a moment. “Do you, ah, want a cup of coffee or some-” His kiss cut her off, and as much as she was surprised, she also wasn’t surprised at all. His hands were gently cupping her cheeks as he pressed his lips against hers; Katie lifted her hands to his wrists, as if to push him away, but instead she just held him there, letting him kiss her.
Yes, it was wrong. He was married, in the midst of a painful separation, and she was in a relationship; a happy one; she adored Ben, but kissing Elliot seemed like the right thing to do, despite how wrong it was. He was warm, but so strong and commanding; he lowered one hand to her hip and pulled her closer to his body, enveloping himself around her.
Her skin felt like he’d imagined it would; soft and inviting. His fingers ran from her cheek through her hair as he held her face in his palms. He could feel her hands at his waist; gently lifting his shirt and slipping up onto his skin, snaking around his back, pulling him harder against her.
Breaking the kiss for only a moment, Katie pushed Elliot’s sweatshirt off of his shoulders. He was lifting the bottom of her shirt. Smiling, Katie held her arms up over her head and let him pull off her shirt; he then removed her NYPD tee and grabbed her behind the neck, pulling her mouth into a furious kiss. Katie ran her hands up and over Elliot’s muscled shoulders, pressing her chest against him and standing up on her toes to kiss him more fully. Elliot took this as an invitation and plucked her up off the ground, slipping her legs up around his waist.
“Bedroom?” Elliot’s breath was ragged, urgent, wanting.
“Behind you, end of the hall,” Katie whispered, hooking her arms around his neck and kissing him passionately as he carried her to her bedroom, kicking the door closed behind him with his boot. Katie slid her hand down the front of Elliot’s jeans, moaning in pleasure as she stroked him.
Elliot unhooked Katie’s bra and laid her down on the bed, lying on top of her as he did so, and pulling her bra off of her shoulders. She took her hands from his pants and laid them above her head, letting Elliot run his fingers down her sternum, across her breasts and across her soft abdomen, settling at the button of her jeans. He removed them with ease, sliding her panties off in the same motion. She was just there; naked. Beautiful, waiting for him. Fire sizzled through Elliot’s veins, making him quiver as he unzipped his jeans. Katie leaned up on her elbows and met him with a kiss as he lowered himself back down on top of her. He pressed her legs apart, her knees cinching at his waist, and moaned in pleasure as he pushed inside of her. She groaned and grabbed him tightly by his neck, holding him down, as she rocked her hips in time with him.
The difference between Ben and Elliot was tantamount to Katie in that moment, she’d never felt this passion, this heat, this absolute need for Ben to be inside her. She loved him, at least she assumed it was love, and he made her happy, and making love to him was always pleasurable. But with Elliot... perhaps it was the situation. Katie was emotionally exhausted from what happened with Bonnie, Elliot was lonely without his wife and children, and they both flirted at work, sharing smiles, peering at each other when each wasn’t watching. It was almost as if this moment of them actually together was inevitable, perhaps that was why it was so easy. So easy not to think about Ben, or Elliot’s wife, Kathy, or even work and how this would affect them.
Stifling a growl of satisfaction into Elliot’s neck, Katie only felt excitement, and fulfilment. No guilt, no anger, no worry; just pleasure, with no care of how this would change her whole world in the morning.
