Brittany sighs in relief as the girls fall asleep almost an hour of crying softly and slowly takes her phone out of her pocket, she looks at the time and bites her lip as she sees that it's almost nine in the morning.
She opens the group chat on whatsapp knowing the sleeping girls have their phones on silent and writes out a message.
Hey you guys awake?
She turns her head as she feels her girlfriend stir grumbling softly and kisses her head running her fingers through her hair. '' It's okay my love, go back to sleep.''
'' Mh love you.'' Santana mumbles tiredly burying her face in her neck.
'' Love you too baby.'' Brittany mutters softly, she turns back to her phone as she hears her breathing even out and sees that Puck replied.
Yeah I am, what's up?
I don't want to explain it over whatsapp, any chance you all can come to the hospital after you all woke up and ate breakfast?
The hospital? I am on my way, which floor?
Brittany smiles slightly at his quick reply and types the floor she is on, she looks at the girls as a nurse opens the door entering the room and holds a finger up to her lips. The nurse nods her head and walks over to her holding up a bottle of water and a package of cereal bars. '' I know it's not much, but I thought you girls might want to eat something.''
Brittany nods her head and smiles slightly. '' Thank you.'' The nurse nods her head and walks back to the door after placing the bottle and the package with cereal bars next to Brittany on the chair, Brittany leans back sighing softly and tightens her hold on her girlfriend as she groans softly.
She places her lips on her head shushing her softly and strokes her hand down her back under her shirt, she looks up as the door opens again and smiles as Puck walks in with the group right behind him.
Puck walks over to her as he sees that the rest of the girls are fast asleep and leans down kissing her cheek. '' You alright?'' He asks frowning as he sees the bandage on her arm, Brittany nods her head and looks at the group.
'' Did you all read the text?''
Mercedes shakes her head and kisses her cheek watching the group do the same. '' No, Puck called us right after he drove of and picked us up.''
Brittany nods her head and turns to her sister as she hears her starts whimpering, she leans over tightening her hold on her girlfriend and runs her free hand through her sisters hair. '' It's okay sis, it's just a dream.''
Puck watches them frowning at the concern edged in Britt's voice and sees the frown on the faces of the three sleeping girls. '' What the hell happened B?''
Brittany turns to him after her sister calms down and bites her lip. '' Promise me to not get loud, I don't want them to wake up they didn't sleep the whole night.'' She sighs softly as they all nod their heads and takes a deep breath calming herself down whispering. '' Our dad found us.''
She smiles thankfully as Quinn reaches over slapping her hand in front of Puck's mouth before he can yell and looks at him. '' Please be quiet and I will tell everything.''
She sighs as Puck nods his head and runs her hand over her girlfriends back as she sighs softly burying her face deeper in her neck, she turns back to the group and shrugs slightly. '' Brad called me around twelve and pulled me out of my sleep telling me to come to the hospital with Heath, after I woke her up the doorbell rang and Mario stood there with his car still running.'' She takes a deep breath and gulps. '' Mario told us that our mom was in a bad shape and that Maribel was on her way picking Nay and San up because we would need them which was and still is true, when we got here they told us that our mom got beaten up and was currently fighting for her life in an operation room.''
'' Fighting for her life?'' Rachel asks shocked with tears in her eyes, Brittany nods her head seeing the tears in their eyes and bites her lip knowing they all got close to her mom.
'' Yeah she coded twice and had a ruptured spleen, her face is pretty bruised and she has two fractured ribs.'' She stops as her voice cracks and looks down at her girlfriend, Quinn places her hand on her shoulder and squeezes it softly.
'' You don't have to continue B.''
Brittany shakes her head and looks up at them. '' I want to, I know you all got close to my mom too.'' She grabs the water bottle next to her and takes a sip, she looks back at the group and sighs sadly. '' One of the fractured ribs punctured her lungs and the doctors tried to fix it, after he told us that Heather jumped up because she needed to use the bathroom and scared us all when she screamed.''
'' She saw him walking through the hallway and well after that everything kinda went by in a flash, we ran to the security room where your dad.'' She nods her head to Mercedes. '' Was checking the security tapes and I had to watch it after telling him that my dad got sentenced for abuse and attempted murder, that is where I recognized him and he called for back up and placed two cops in front of my moms room.''
'' After Heath visited my mom she ran out because the stress and sadness always attacks her stomach and I ran after her because I knew she would throw up, well our dad decided to walk right into that bathroom to flip the fuck out about the cops standing in front of moms room.'' She takes a deep breath and looks down. '' He kicked open all the stalls and when he kicked ours open his rage came back ten time worse, I kicked the door in his face the first time and told him to fuck off which set him off more.''
She glances at her sister and runs her piercing over her bottom lip. '' He pulled me down and tried to grab Heather when she yelled for me after he kicked me in the stomach, I made him trip and told her to run. After she left and we both jumped to our feet he pulled out a knife.''
Quinn immediately jumps up hearing the crack in her voice and sits on the arm of her chair wrapping her arm around her shoulders, she pulls her closer making sure not to touch Santana and hugs her mumbling. '' Stop B, you don't have to continue.''
'' Nothing happened.'' Brittany reassures her softly, she glances at her arm and shrugs. '' Well nothing accept that, he tried to rush to me stabbing me but I dodged him and pissed him off more also fueling my anger.'' She looks at the group and looks back up at Q. '' Jack ran in with his colleagues so I knew they got my back and continued pissing him off, after awhile he had enough of it and charged at me asshole just didn't know that I had kickboxing lessons and knew how to put him down in one move.''
'' What did you do?'' Puck asks curiously, Brittany looks at him and smiles slightly.
'' I knocked that fucker out with a roundhouse kick, his lights were out before he noticed what happened.''
Puck chuckles softly and holds his fist out. '' That's my girl.'' Brittany chuckles softly and fist bumps him, Quinn smiles slightly and kisses her cheek moving to sit back down next to her girlfriend. Rachel looks at her and sighs softly.
'' How is your mom doing?''
Brittany turns to her and sighs smiling sadly. '' Don't know the operation was successful, but she didn't wake up yet.'' She turns her head as she feels another head on her shoulder and smiles slightly as Naya cuddles into her, she turns her body and wraps an arm around her. '' We all didn't sleep much, San and I learned until eleven and I am sure Nay and Heath talked on the phone for that long too.''
'' Did you sleep?'' Sam asks softly, Brittany shakes her head and sighs.
'' No but I can't sleep, not until I know that my mom is okay.''
They all turn to the door as it opens and Brittany smiles as the nurse who brought her water walks back in, the nurse looks at her and smiles. '' Hey your mom just woke up, we will move her to a bigger room and I will come back to lead you to her room.''
Brittany smiles brightly and nods her head. '' Awesome, thank you.'' She pulls out her phone as soon as the nurse walks back out and dials Brad's number, she smiles as he answers the call after the second ring and tells him that her mom is awake.
She ends the call after he told her that he is on his way and dials Mario's number, after telling him the same she puts her phone away and looks at the three girls. She softly shakes her sister awake and smiles slightly as she stirs groaning. '' Sis wake up, mom is awake.''
She keeps a hold on her as she shoots up in a sitting position and nods her head to Naya. '' Can you wake up Nay?'' She looks down at her girlfriend as soon as her sister nods her head and kisses her head. '' Time to wake up baby.'' She rolls her eyes as she grumbles and runs her hand up her side cupping her cheek. '' Come on my love, time to wake up. Mom just woke up.'' She tightens her hold as she shoots up in a sitting position and bites back a groan as her hand hits her stomach. '' Whoa easy babe.''
'' Where is she?'' Santana mumbles tiredly, Brittany smiles pulling her hand off her stomach and kisses her cheek. '' The nurses are bringing her up to a bigger room and the group is here.''
Santana looks around and smiles as she sees her friends, she slowly stands up as Quinn walks to her and falls into her best friends arms. Brittany watches her start crying again and watches her sister and Naya walk over to the group too, she slowly stands up stretching her legs and looks at Puck as he joins her after hugging the three girls.
Puck wraps an arm around her shoulders and pulls her into his side. '' How are you really doing B?''
'' Holding myself up for them.'' She mutters softly nodding her head to her girlfriend, sister and Naya.
Puck sighs and squeezes her shoulder softly. '' If you need someone to catch you, I will be there.'' He looks at the group and turns back to look at her. '' We all will.''
'' I know.'' Brittany mumbles softly, she turns around in his arms as the door swings open and smiles as Brad comes running in with Mario and Maribel hot on his heels.
'' Where is she?'' Brad asks softly as he walks over to her, Brittany gives him a quick hug and watches him walk over to her sister.
'' One of the nurses will come pick me up as soon as she is settled in.'' She hugs Mario as he walks over to her after he hugged his daughters and relaxes in his hold. '' She will be moved into a bigger room, so we all can hang around there.''
Mario nods his head and steps back watching his wife hug her. '' Yeah I requested that before we left.'' He turns to look at his daughters and raises an eyebrow. '' Did you all sleep?''
Naya nods her head and yawns. '' Yeah four hours or so.''
Mario turns to Brittany after Santana and Heather nodded their heads and raises an eyebrow. '' What about you?''
Brittany shakes her head and sighs. '' No I didn't sleep at all, I stayed awake because they had a restless sleep and I calmed them down before any nightmares started.'' She sighs in relief as the nurse walks in before any of them can lecture her and smiles. '' Can we go to our mom now?''
The nurse nods her head and smiles as everyone jumps up, Brittany intertwines her hands with her girlfriends and follows Mario out of the waiting room.
After walking to the other side of the hospital the nurse stops in front of a door and nods her head. '' Here she is.''
Brittany steps back and turns to her sister smiling. '' Go ahead sis.''
Heather shakes her head and turns to the group. '' Can you all wait outside for a few minutes?'' She turns to her sister as they nod their heads and sighs softly. '' I want us all to go in, we were all there sis.''
Brittany nods her head sighing softly and nods her head to the door. '' Lead the way.'' She watches her sister walk inside with Naya and smiles as she hears them squeal, she follows Brad inside after Maribel and Mario walked in and smiles as she sees her mother hugging Heather.
She turns to her girlfriend as she watches Maribel walk to the bed and bites her lip. '' Go ahead babe.''
Santana nods her head seeing the pain in her girlfriends eyes and walks to the bed, she joins her sister and Heather on the right side and smiles as she watches Brad hug Susan. She bites her lip as soon as everyone hugged her mother and gulps thickly as she locks eyes with her, Susan holds out her hand for her daughter and smiles sadly. '' Come here sweetheart.''
Brittany walks over to the bed closing her eyes as tears well up in her eyes and blindly takes her mothers hand in her own, Susan squeezes it softly and sighs. '' Look at me honey.'' She sighs softly as Brittany shakes her head and sees a tear drip down her cheek, she slides over a little bit and pulls her daughter on the bed next to her. '' Come on honey, look at me.''
Heather walks around the bed as she sees her sister fighting against her emotions and stands in front of her as she tries to jump up, she places her hands on her shoulders and sighs softly. '' No fleeing now you did that all night, let go sis.''
'' Heath push her down so she is laying next to me please.'' Susan mumbles softly seeing the tenseness in her daughters shoulders, Santana watches the scene in front of her with tears in her eyes and leans into her mother as she watches Heather push her sister down next to Susan.
Susan wraps her arm around her daughter as soon as she lays next to her and kisses her head softly. '' I am okay sweetheart.'' She feels her daughter tense up and runs her hand down her back knowing she is trying to stay strong. '' Let go honey.''
Santana walks over to the bed as Susan glances at her and takes her girlfriends hand as she sees her flexing it, she leans down and kisses her shoulder softly. '' We will catch you mi amor, you don't have to be strong all the time.''
She tightens her hold on her girlfriends hand and closes her eyes her heart breaking as she hears the first heartbreaking sob leave her girlfriends mouth, she moves a little bit to give Heather some space and watches her and Naya both place a comforting hand on Britt's leg.
Susan closes her eyes her heart breaking as she feels her daughter tears soak her top and turns her head kissing her head softly. '' I am okay honey.''
She turns to her friends and smiles sadly. '' Did she cry at all last night?''
'' Once.'' Brad mutters softly ''she managed to escape out of your room before walking over to you and broke down outside. But that was quickly forgotten when she saw Heather run into the bathroom.''
Susan nods her head taking Heather's hand in her free hand and sighs softly. '' Yeah Heath throws up when stress and angst get too much, B knows how to calm her down and always ignores her own feelings to make sure we are okay.''
She turns her head as she feels her daughter calm down and smiles sadly as she hears her breathing even out, she looks at the three girls standing behind her tallest daughter and sighs. '' She fell asleep.''
'' Yeah she didn't sleep at all after Brad called us.'' Heather mutters sadly looking down at her sister, Maribel pulls three chairs over for the girls and nods her head.
'' Sit down girls.''
Susan looks at the time and frowns. '' How long was I out?''
Mario walks up to her and squeezes her hand softly. '' We found you around eleven-thirty and called the girls half an hour later, you were in the operation room for four hours.''
Brad nods his head in agreement and sighs. '' You were out for around nine hours babe.''
Susan turns to her daughter and raises an eyebrow. '' How long did she sleep?''
'' I think we all called until eleven and you know how quick B can fall asleep, so I think she only slept half an hour.''
'' Did you sleep?''
Heather nods her head and sighs softly. '' Yeah we slept four hours in the waiting room, B stayed awake and calmed us down before a nightmare could start.''
'' What happened?'' Susan asks softly raising an eyebrow, she turns her head and sighs. '' I know who it was and I am sure you all know too and the nurses told me that he got arrested again, but what went down?''
Heather sighs and turns to Mario. '' Mario can you call the group in? Britt told them what happened so they can fill the gaps.''
Susan sees Santana watching her girlfriend with tears in her eyes and reaches down grabbing her hand that lays on Britt's back. '' Penny for your thoughts?''
Santana bites her lip and looks up at her. '' Seeing her so broken, hurts like hell.'' She turns back to her girlfriend as Susan nods her head in agreement and runs her hand down her back ignoring the group as they greet Susan, she bites her lip as she hears her father start to tell Susan what happened and scoots her chair up towards the top of the bed. She lays her head down near her girlfriends shoulder and continues stroking her back softly, she closes her eyes as her father starts telling her about the security camera's and kisses her girlfriends shoulder softly muttering. '' Te amo, mi amor.''
