Surgery

*Nobody's POV

"Bradley..", she half whispers, half cries. Everyone lowers their guns in shock of the horror before them. "..baby, its me."

"Mom, you guys have to leave! He's gonna get up again!", Bradley cries as she moves herself back into a comer and pulls her knees to her chest. There was a silent, mutual agreement that Olivia, and only Olivia, would speak to her, calm her.

"I promise you, he won't get up.", Olivia gives her a quick look over and can see that she's been stabbed in the stomach. "Bradley, I need you to put the knife down."

"I-I can't, he'll kill me!"

"No, honey, he won't. You have to trust me.", she takes a huge gulp. She would kill to have Nick here right now. "You got hurt, I need to make sure you're okay."

"No.", she cries. "No, just let me die. Just let me, please, mom, just go."

"You know I can't do that, we can't do that.", Olivia gets closer to Bradley. Bradley's grip on the knife got tighter as her knuckles turn a ghost white. "Please..give it to me.", she puts out her hand. "Please.", Bradley slowly moves her hand up to her mother's and places the knife in it. She instantly starts shaking as she panics. Olivia gives the knife to Fin who bags it. Olivia pulls her daughter into her lap and puts pressure on her stomach where she'd been stabbed. Bradley buries herself into Olivia's open arms. Amanda grabs a t-shirt and presses it firmly where Olivia's hands were.

"Call a bus!", Fin yells. Bradley's breathing slows down..a lot.

"Mommy, I'm so sorry.", she chokes out. "I had to. I-I h-ha..", her eyes roll to the back of her head.

"Dammit, Bradley!", Olivia shakes her daughter's limp body. "C'mon, baby, wake up."

"Liv, a bus is on its way.", Amanda tells her.

"T-tell Carisi to call Nick a-and his mother. I want her to take Alex and I need..", Olivia breaks down in tears. How could she not? Her kids have just been attacked. God only knows what kind of hell Bradley has just been subjected to, but Olivia knows she made sure her baby brother wasn't harmed. She continues to put pressure on Bradley's stomach until the paramedics arrive. Amanda gives them the information they need. They were able to get Bradley to regain consciousness in the ambulance.

"Mommy?", Bradley's voice is raspy and low.

"Its okay, baby.", Olivia holds her hand tighter than before. "Mommy's here, its gonna be okay.", the teenaged girl can now feel every ounce of pain she wasn't able to previously feel.

"It hurts!", she cries. Olivia tries her best to make her daughter feel comfortable, but that's nearly impossible. She's just been stabbed, raped..she just killed a man in self defense. They can never catch a break, can they? "It hurts so bad!"

"I know, baby, I know. Just hang in there, okay? I'm right here."

"Where's-ahh-Alex?", still, when she could possibly be dying, the safety of her brother is her biggest concern.

"He's fine. He's with grandma."

"And daddy? I want daddy.", she cries.

"I had Fin call daddy.", once they're at the hospital, Bradley is rushed into surgery.

(Three hours later)

Nick bursts through the hospital doors and goes directly to the receptionist's desk. The rest of the squad see him and notify Olivia. She jumps up and runs to him. He turns around and pulls her tight against him.

"I don't know what happened, I don't-", his fingers tangled in her hair, keeping her head pressed against his chest, making her sob into him.

"Liv, its gonna be okay. I would've gotten here way sooner-"

"You were in Jersey.", she pulls away from the intense hug. "Nick, the was so much blood."

"I know, Fin told me what happened. Bradley still in surgery?"

"Ye-", a doctor calls for the family. Everyone gets up and rushes to her. "We're her parents."

"Okay.", the woman sighs. "Bradley is out of surgery, she should be awake anytime now. She was stabbed three times, they were deep, but managed to not hit any organs. She should make a fast recovery.", she looks through a couple of papers. "Her doctor will be able to give you more information when he gets back to you, he's just been called for an emergency, so I'll let you know when he'll be done when I know.", Olivia and Nick sigh with relief at the though of knowing she'll be okay..physically. "Bradley is a very lucky girl. There were signs of sexual abuse..", Olivia knew what had happened, she just didn't want believe it. She squeezed Nick's hand as hard as she possibly could. "..we did the rape kit-"

"Without consent?!", Olivia asks furiously.

"Ma'am, you gave consent at the crime scene. You specifically told the paramedics to be sure she had one.", Olivia has no recollection of this. "There wasn't any extensive damage done vaginally or anally."

"When can we see her?", Nick asks.

"Now. Like I said, she should wake up at any moment. Keep in mind, she's under heavy doses of pain medication on top of the anesthesia wearing off. We just ask that we keep the visitors to a minimum at this point in time."

"Thank you.", Nick and Olivia both say as the nurse walks in the opposite direction.
