"Wake up baby, please." I begged her. The doctors had to give her much needed blood she had lost from the cut. They also had to put five stitches in her head as well as six where he had cut her with a knife in the below area. I couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of pain my wife had gone through. Brittany's parents as well as my mother and stepfather were in the waiting room as well as her crew had stayed all night.
She had told them they could all go home but she knew they wouldn't. They loved Brittany almost as much as she did. Brittany's fingers started to move a little. She grabbed Brittany's hand and gave it a squeeze." I am here baby. Everyone is here." Brittany's eyes started to flicker as she started to wake up more." Britt." Santana cried. She had been praying to see those big blue eyes she loved so much since the doctor let her come in.
Opening her eyes she instantly closed them back. The light hurt her eyes. Reopening her eyes this time was easier the lights were now off." Hey love." Santana whispered giving her that smile that was just made for her and no one else. Moving a little she found she was in a hospital bed and couldn't remember getting there" How?" Santana knew exactly what Brittany wanted to know." You passed out babe scared the hell out of me for a while there. You promised me forever not half our lives Britt. "Santana lectured.
Brittany smiled a little. It was when she moved her eye brows that the pain shot through her forehead. "Ouch." Brittany cried instantly putting her hand up to her forehead to find a big bandage on her forehead." Sorry should have tried to warn you sooner. You have stitches in your head and your well where he cut you." Santana said sadly." I feel like I got ran over by a bus." Brittany said trying to change the subject. Santana lifted her head and looked at the love of her life." I am sorry Britt this happened." Brittany shook her head" Don't you dare blame yourself. I am the one that ran away from security."
Santana's eyes widened." How?" thanks to Richie she knew but she didn't want to mention that." Just figured it out you didn't rip that man's head off when I was dancing like that on him. You didn't even show any bit of jealously and since you said nothing has changed in our relationship I knew you had to have known these men." The Latina's cheeks turned bright red" Sorry. You know when you said you were going to dance with random people I got jealous and scared all at once and now I know I should have just handcuffed you to my side." Brittany could imagine Santana doing that.
"Come here." Santana quirked her eyebrow a little but did as she was told. As soon as Santana was close enough Brittany pulled her to her. Her lips meeting hers Santana let Brittany lead. Brittany deepened the kiss until she needed oxygen." I love you San and I am sorry I was so angry at you and didn't want to listen." tears started streaming down my face and I knew Santana was on the verge of losing it as well." As he was, as he started hitting me I prayed to god that he would let me live long enough to kiss you again. That is all I wanted to do." it hurt so bad Santana and I just wanted to give up but I knew I couldn't. I couldn't leave you I had promised a lifetime." Santana was crying harder as she pictured Brittany trying to fight this man wanting her and she was nowhere near her." I am so sorry Brittany." Santana cried as she took Brittany's hand in hers and started kissing it as many times as she could." Dame" Brittany said finally feeling the stitches down there." What is it?" Santana asked concerned that Brittany looked like she was in real pain now." my vagina is on fire." Brittany bluntly came out and said. Santana had to hold back a giggle because the way her wife had just said that. But having a big gash in your vagina was not funny. Brittany had lost a lot of blood." It really hurts San. I need some medication or something." Brittany begged with her eyes teary up. She didn't have to be told twice. Pushing the nurse call button not even a few seconds later a voice came through the speaker." can I help you?"
"Yes my wife is in pain. She needs something right away please." "Certainly be there in a few." "Thank you." Santana said through the speaker before turning to her wife. Brittany smiled a little at her trying not to concentrate on the pain." I think I am going to go tell the rest of the army out there they will have to see you tomorrow." Santana announced just remembering the crowd of people out in the waiting room waiting to hear something about Brittany. Brittany shook her head. This was the first time she looked like a little lost girl." Don't leave me, please." Brittany begged. Santana was scared as she nodded. Her wife had never sounded this broken or scared of anything in her life." I will just call your mom to tell them." Brittany's eyes widened." Please can you have my mom come back here? I want to see her and your mom." Santana's mother had become like a second mother to her a long time ago when Santana and her started becoming friends and it has never changed. She could tell Maria anything she could tell her own mom.
"Hey Susan could you do me a favor. Brittany is up but they are about to give her some pain medication. She wants to thank everyone for coming out and being here but they can visit tomorrow or call. She wants you and my mother to come back here though." Susan understood and promised to tell everyone her message before getting off the phone. The nurse and the doctor Santana had met earlier came in to the room. Doctor Jones wore a smile as he inspected his patient. He was glad she was up. The young woman had a few close calls earlier when they brought her in.
"Hello Brittany I am Doctor Jones." Brittany smiled at the man." So happy you are awake. I heard you are having some pain, which is normal giving the circumstances of where you were cut. We are running some tests." Brittany frowned as she grabbed out for her wife's hand. Santana rushed to her side and allowed Brittany to take her hand in hers." we got your wife's permission to test you for STD's that was a few of the test we have already done while you were asleep. As well as a pregnancy test but we will have to test you again to make sure." Brittany' heart started to race. He wasn't wearing a condom then the scene came through her mind like she was watching it on a movie screen. She tried to shake the image of him on top of her off but it wouldn't go away. Brittany started shaken violently as the scene played over and over in her head." Brittany?" Santana asked." Brittany?" this time it was Doctor Jones asking. She could hear them talking to her but she couldn't respond. She heard his words over and over telling how much she needed this as he took his pocket knife out. She thought he was going to kill her right there. Screaming as loud as she could the nurse and doctor moved to both sides of the bed now alerted what was happening." what is going on?' Santana cried not understanding.
"She is having a flashback. She is seeing what happened to her like a movie playing on a movie screen." the doctor begins to shoot medicine in her IV while the nurse soothed her. Santana immediately jumped to action this nurse didn't need to soothe her own wife. She could do that. Taken the nurses place Santana pulled Brittany to her chest as Brittany cried and trembled." Try telling her it's not real, you are here. She needs to understand that she is not going through the experience anymore, that she is safe." Santana nodded whispering exactly what the nurse had said in her wife's ear. Brittany calmed down after a couple of minutes. Santana didn't know if it was due to the medication or not." Will she be alright?" She asked scared to death of what she just witnessed.
"Yes she will be alright with the right medication and therapy. You should get some therapy as well." The doctor added causing Santana's eyes to widen. Why would she need therapy? She didn't get raped or hurt by this bastard." She is your wife and she has gone through a tremendously awful ordeal. Your feelings should be heard as well." Santana nodded understanding now she did have a lot of feelings about this situation but her first priority was to get Brittany the help she needed. As the doctor and nurse were exiting Maria and Susan appeared. Santana couldn't hold the tears in as she wrapped her arms around a sleeping blonde now." I love you Brittany." she whispered in her ear before she gave her a kiss on the forehead. Brittany was white and clammy looking thanks to her attack but she wore a peaceful look as she slept.
"Hija?" Maria rover asked still standing by the door of the hospital room." Mami" Santana cried rushing over to her mother. Maria wrapped her arms around her daughter trying to soothe her." Hija everything is going to be alright." Then Maria said a few sentences in Spanish Susan did not understand. Susan quietly looked her daughter over she first noticed the peaceful look she wore but Susan couldn't believe she felt that way at the moment with everything that had happened. Brittany was her baby. Her only child, her husband had two other daughters from a previous marriage that she claimed and loved but Brittany was her only.
Grabbing Brittany's hand she prayed to god that he would heal her and she would be once again the happy free go lucky girl she had always been her whole entire life. She hoped this did not change that. She played with Brittany's wedding rings as she talked about how everyone sent their best wishes and hoped she got out of the hospital soon so they could get together. We could have cake and watermelon." Susan laughed a little as the tears started to stream down her face. She knew those were Brittany's favorite foods. Santana came behind her mother in law placing a hand on the woman's shoulder letting her know she was there." she'll love that Susan. "Santana said having overheard the conversation."
"Thank you dear." Susan knew what Santana had done for her daughter. Susan didn't know everything of course, she had no clue her daughter in law was an assassin she had thought she was a high celebrity lawyer that made a lot of money. Maria knew exactly what her daughter did but she didn't even know the whole story." San Papi and I will go get food and stop by your house and pick up some comfortable clothes for you." Maria said looking down at her daughters outfit. Santana looked down as well and realized how much blood she really had on her she was pretty sure the corset was ruined but the pants might have a chance. But that didn't matter right now." Gracias Mami." Santana let go of Susan's shoulder to go hug her mother but she didn't even get to hug her when Brittany's body started to shake. The machine started to beep and Susan stood straight up from her seat still holding Brittany's hand. Susan looked over frightened to Santana" What is happening?" Maria was right by Susan's side now." She is having a nightmare or panic attack." Santana said remembering earlier. Pushing the nurse button" We are on our way." A nurse said in a rush tone. "Everyone out please." the same nurse from earlier came in with two other nurses and two doctors. For the first time since Brittany started shaken Santana was terrified. She had a feeling this was not like last time.
"What is happening?" Santana demanded." She is going to crash if we don't get her to calm down." the words played around in her head for a moment she didn't understand. Her wife was alright. Wasn't she? The nurse grabbed her attention again by grabbing her arm." Please if you want us to help your wife you need to leave. Go to the waiting room and the doctor will come out as soon as we get her to calm down I promise." The nurse pleaded also with her eyes. Santana didn't realize she was walking until her stepfather handed her a cup of water in the waiting room. Somehow she had made it to the waiting room she just couldn't remember how. "Gracias Papi." Gerardo nodded kissing his stepdaughter on the forehead before turning and sitting down beside his wife. Santana noticed Susan was crying in her husband's arms across the waiting room. Her mother sat beside her with her stepfather on the other side." How long has it been?" Santana finally found her words." Not long." Her mother whispered. She looked up to the ceiling." Please God please keep her safe." Santana prayed out loud.
