"Hey Liv. What's up?" Asked Nick who was unaware what was gonna happen next.

"Nick, I want you to remain calm as I tell something." Liv said cautiously.

"Liv, you're scaring the shit out of me now. What's wrong? Is it Amanda?" Nick asked frantically.

"Nick…"

"Nick, we were in the precinct when Amanda got shot; she's still in surgery. They won't tell me a damn thing." Liv said frantically.

At first it was silent on the other as if he had hung up. She checked her phone to make sure he hadn't hung up and then she heard him crying. Maybe their relationship was more than what Liv had thought.

"Nick, you should get down here. I'd think your the first face she wants to see when she's out of surgery." Liv said after awhile.

"Yeah. Just text me the hospital and I'll be there." Nick said.

Liv hung up and walked towards Carisi to see if he got any news on Amanda. All of the anger between her and Nick disappeared when Amanda got shot. As she got nearer to the nurses station she heard little bit of the conversation Carisi was having with the nurse.

"Come on, I wouldn't be bothering you about Amanda if I weren't a cop." Carisi said sounding annoyed.

"Look, detective I would give you what I know so far, but you're not on her emergency contact list. Only a Nicholas Amaro. Sorry." The nurse said before looking back at her screen.

Liv asked Carisi to get 4 cups of coffee as it seemed it will be long a w evening. She walked to the nurse that told Carisi nothing and tried a different way to get her to talk. It reminded her about the first time she was shot and how Fin looked like he was ready to shoot the nurse when she gave him some bullshit answer. She was about to ask the nurse about Amanda when she heard her name being called.

She turned around to see Nick. Had he been crying on the way here? His eyes were red and puffy. She'd hate to tell him it took her an hour an half to call him. Olivia walked towards Nick and hugged him. She never seen him so vulnerable. This was a side of Nick nobody had seen and it scared Olivia a little. She let go of their embrace and looked at him.

"Nick, I need to you something." Olivia whispered.

Nick looked at her and nodded. Olivia took that as a yes to continue, so she did.

"She's been in surgery for the past hour an half. I was freaking out and I didn't know what to do. Then Fin came telling me to call you and quite freaking out. I'm sorry I took so long." Olivia said.

She looked at him for a sign, but all he did was bow his head down. Then they heard the double doors open and doctor came out.

"I'm looking for the family of Amanda Rollins." The doctor yelled.

Nick rose his up and Olivia said it was them. They both walked towards the doctor to hear what he had to say.

"Ok, I'm going to need to talk to Nicholas alone, as he's the only the one on her emergency contact list." The doctor said.

Olivia was about to put the doctor in his place when Nick said ok. She looked at him and nodded. She walked towards Fin and Carisi. When did he come back? Didn't matter she saw the coffee with cream and sugar on the side. She sat down and fixed her coffee.

"The bullet was through and through, but it did hit her in the spot were she was shot couple years back. Amanda lost a lot of blood; we almost lost her. She will need to be careful for the next month." The doctor explained.

"Could I see her, please?" Nick asked?

"I see nothing wrong with that. Would your friends like to see her as well? 2 at a time though. Room 118" The doctor said before leaving.

Nick walked towards Liv and Fin. Who was the guy Fin was chatting with? Doesn't matter right now. What mattered was Amanda.

"Uh, you guys want to come see her? Two at a time though." Nick said quietly.

Liv and Fin looked at each other. Liv nodded at Fin to go. She needed to show Carisi how SVU worked anyways. She'll visit Amanda another time. Plus neither of them were talking to her, so that be very awkward.

Fin followed Nick to Amanda's room. Something was off with Nick; he came into the ER with eyes red and puffy. He looked as if he was crying before coming in. Nobody has ever seen Nick cry to his knowledge. They were at Amanda's room when Fin stopped him from entering. He wanted to know what was up.

"Nick, why were you crying? Before you came in you cried. Why?" Fin asked.

"I didn't want to lose her." Nick replied.

Fin nodded his head knowing Nick still didn't give the reason to why he was crying. Amanda was asleep when they entered her room. It was quite except for the machines making their noises. The noises were comforting; it was sign that she was still alive. It's weird how something as small as noise were comforting.

Amanda slightly moved which caused Fin and Nick to sit up higher in their chairs. She moved again like she was trying to get comfortable. Fin chuckled understanding how uncomfortable hospital beds could be. Fin left after a couple hours saying he should get back to the precinct.

She groaned and open her eyes. The room was unfamiliar to her and she looked to her right to see Nick, but the left showed nobody their. Was she in hospital? What the hell happened? Amanda tried sitting up, but a way of pain struck and she yelped. Nick sat up and hit his on the painting.

Amanda looked at Nick and laughed. He was always clumsy when he first wakes. She was gonna ask why she was here, but a doctor came in and asked questions. Once the doctor left she looked at Nick.

"Why am I here? Was I shot at?" Amanda asked.

"Yeah, but I don't know much. Liv called me after she mange to not freak out for a bit." Nick said.

"Oh, I don't know if Liv told you, but I forgave her. She apologized which was shocking." Amanda said quietly.

"I really didn't talk to her. I was scared I was gonna lose you. Amanda I don't know what I'd do without you." Said Nick. His voice was breaking as he said the last sentence.

"Was the tough Nicholas Amaro crying?" Amanda asked in a mocking tone.

"Laugh, but I was scared. I don't want to lose 'Manda." Nick said.

"I know. I'd hate to leave you. Mean to much to me." Amanda replied softly.

"Amanda Rollins going soft on me? They really gave you a lot of medication. I'm kidding." Nick said after calming himself from laughing.

Amanda playful slapped him on his arm. She couldn't help but laugh at his joke. He always made her happy no matter how upset she'd get. One joke no matter how corny it was made her smile. She looked at him and smiled.
