I own none of the characters but Maci. The rest belong to Dick Wolf

"She's.. Still in surgery." A doctor was sitting down with the squad, "Then she won't be able to wake up for two weeks. The guy really did a number on her. "

"What happened? What did she get?" Munch asked.

"Two bashes to the head ; I think one was with glass I found glass shards in her scalp. Cuts all over her body from a rough bladed knife. Some will heal on their own, some we had to stitch. Her left arm was dislocated so she may have discomfort when she first wakes up." The doctor frowned.

"Was she raped?" Nick blurted out, regretting it right after.

The doctor grew quiet then nodded slowly, "Twice. The tearing was really severe. She barely made it out alive."

"Doctor, you're needed in ICU." A nurse came up and informed him. He nodded and turned towards the group.

"Pardon me."

As soon as the doctor left, Nick cursed."Two weeks until she wakes up? That's a long time."

"She's healing, Amaro," Fin patted him on the back.

"There's nothing more we could've done for her." Cragen said lightly then frowned.

"She will be fine. She'll pull through then you two can go back to making me hate couples." John Munch joked lightly.

"You really think so?" Nick turned and looked at Munch, concern filled his eyes.

Before John could answer, Maci ran up and poked Nick in the leg. He looked at the little girl and smiled. "Hey, Maci." He stood up and she hugged him around the waist .

"Uncle Nick! Uncle Munch! Uncle Fin!" She cried with happiness. Olivia walked up and smiled at the sight.

Maci gave everyone a hug then sat down to start on her homework.

"Where's Brian?" Olivia looked at Nick then Fin.

"He's in the bathroom. Don't feel good." Fin nodded towards a door on the other side of the hall.

"I hope he's okay.." She sighed and sat down, watching Maci trying to read a magazine. "How is she?"

"All cuts. Bruises. Two bashes to the head. She barely made it." Nick put his head in his hands.

"It'll be two weeks until she can actually wake up. No need wasting time here." John frowned and stood up from his chair.

"Munch is right, " Brian walked into the waiting room, "We all need fresh eyes and ears for this. It's too sensitive to us. We should go home, get some sleep, and come back in the morning."

Everyone reluctantly agreed; they hadn't slept much for days. Maci walked up to Brian and threw her hands in the air. He smiled and picked her up as the other detectives walked out of the hospital to their cars outside. Olivia bundled Maci's jacket and her own before takin a step outside. Snow crunched under their feet.

"Daddy I'm sleepy. " she yawned and buried her head in his chest. He smiled and opened the backseat of the car,which she reluctantly sat down in. She pulled her seat belt on as Brian shut the door.

"She will be asleep before we get home, Bri." Olivia looked at him then got into the drivers seat. He slipped into the passengers seat and smiled at Olivia .

"I know. I'll be excited for our alone time tonight." He winked. She smiled and pulled out of the parking lot.

"I'm tired. " she teased. She could hear Maci's little snores from the backseat.

"The hell you are. Liv, you just had your sixth cup of coffee not even an hour ago. "

"What are you? The coffee police?" She smiled and turned at the light. One more street until she could be in his arms once more.

"And if I am? Maybe alone time would be good for us." He took her hand gently in his and she drove with her free hand. She smiled softly and turned onto their street.

Seconds later, they were home. Brian gently lifted Maci from the backseat and walked her to her room. She stirred slightly but fell asleep again. He tucked her in and kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight, my princess." He kissed her head again and walked out. Olivia laid across the sofa and he ran his hand down her curvy body. She looked at him and grinned.

"Ready?" She got up and glided towards their room. He went behind her and picked her up gently. His lips met hers in a second and they kissed softly. He walked her to their bed and laid her down.

She smiled as he took off his shirt and pants. He leaned down and kissed her as he slid her shirt off.

"You're so beautiful. I'm lucky to have an amazing woman like you," he smiled at her, "I wouldn't change that for the world.

"I love you." She breathed as he unzipped her pants.

"I love you too, with my whole heart."
