"Get trauma bay one open" A doctor screamed as he ran beside Olivia "I need you to type and cross and lets get the clothes off her."

"She's A positive like me" Elliot said jogging behind the doctor "Here is the paperwork that gives me medical power of attorney."

"What else can you tell me about her history?"

"She has recently suffered a head injury and a gun shot to her left shoulder" Alex said as she stood like a statue watching them cut the clothes off of Olivia "Dr. Mathews is her doctor that she sees for her head injury. She was just cleared for light duty after her last FMRI."

"Do we know if she hit her head?" The doctor asked

"At least one time I know of." Alex whispered as she slowly stepped forward "They went over the railing and I couldn't see how they landed. She may have landed on her head hard then. That was when I heard the gunshots as well. I could only find the one on her stomach."

"Ok get a surgeon and an operating room ready." The doctor said looking up at a nurse "And get him the forms he needs to sign after he gives blood."

"I've already called Dr. Mathews and he's on a flight back to New York as we speak. When it comes to the surgeon it better be the best you have on call at the moment."

"Ma'am may I ask your relationship to the patient." The doctor asked wondering who she was to be giving such orders.

"I'm her "Alex started to say but then closed her mouth and looked at Elliot not sure what to say or what to tell the doctor.

"This is her partner" Elliot informed them as he pulled Alex to him in a hug "She was injured protecting her against an intruder in their home. That is Detective Olivia Benson you're working on at the moment. Not only will she appreciate you doing you're very best but so will the other thirty five thousand members of her family as well sir."

"Detective I swear to you on my life we will do everything we can to save her." The doctor said releasing the brakes on the bed "But if we don't get her to an OR now she's not surviving nothing."

"Ma'am" A nurse said stepping forward "If you will come with me we will have you looked at."

"What?' Alex said looking at her confused.

"Your wrists are bleeding." She said pointing to the blood that was dripping on the floor "Come in here and let me get a doctor take a look at you. At the very least allow me to bandage your wrists for you."

"I'll be ok" Alex said as her eyes followed Olivia on the stretcher until she couldn't see her anymore.

"Ma'am"

"Please call me Alex." Alex said interrupting the nurse.

"Nice to meet you Alex I am Tracy." The nurse said "there is nothing you can do for your partner until she is out of surgery. Why not come in here and let me fix you up. I'm pretty sure you don't want her coming to and seeing blood on your wrists."

"Last time she was in a coma for a while." Alex muttered as she allowed Tracy to lead her into a room "We almost lost her on the first day several times. It was my fault she almost died the first time and its my fault why we're in this same predicament again."

"There's no doubt in my mind that she doesn't blame you. This will sting some" Tracy said as she began to clean Alex's wound.

"She should" Alex hissed at the pain she felt from her wound being cleaned "I'm the one with the psycho ex-girlfriend who has tried to kill her not once but twice."

"Yet she's still with you I think that should tell you something?"

"She was only with me because I insisted that she stay with me." Alex said finally looking Tracy in the eyes "It was my fault that she almost died. I moved her in with me and made sure she received all the medical assistance she needed. That's why she's with me. She's not in my house as my partner and lover she's in my house because I feel guilty over what happened to her."

"Look Liv will not stay some place she doesn't want to be." Tracy said with a smile.

'I'm sorry do you know her?" Alex asked confused.

"We dated briefly about two years ago" Tracy said standing up "The one thing I learned during that time was that Liv does what she wants to do. Anyone who knows her knows that. If she stayed at your house it was because she wanted to not because you made her, unless she's changed her hardheadedness ways which I seriously doubt."

"No not at all" Alex said as she remember the countless arguments they had had over her treatment, her going back to work, her accepting help from Alex.

"You said you two aren't a couple then how long have you known her?"

"I started working with her about nine months ago now."

"You're a detective as well?"

"No actually I'm the Assistant District Attorney assigned to her squad." Alex said smiling "Name is Alexandra Cabot but please call me Alex."

"An attorney really? Tracy said amazed "I could never picture Liv with an attorney but you know what they say opposites attract. You are all patched up and ready to go would you like me to take you to the waiting room for the surgery ward."

"Please and thank you so much." Alex said as she quietly followed Tracy down the hallway till they came to a set of doors that was closed off.

"The detective that you came in with is waiting in this room." Tracy said turning to face Alex "You have a good woman Alex I hope you know that and will treat her right."

"I do" Alex said pulling Tracy into a hug before walking into the room.

Alex walked into the room and looked around at the detectives in the room. She could tell by the look on their faces that they knew nothing on how Olivia was doing. She silently took her seat next to Elliot and leaned back saying a silent prayer that Olivia would survive this one more time.

A/N: I had every intention of this being the chapter where we discovered Olivia's fate but it didn't seem to fall like that. I know you guys are impatiently waiting to know the outcome of our favorite detective. I promise we will be discovering that soon. Please have a little patience with me. Trust me I know how hard that is coming from someone who was born with absolutely no patience at all. Yet I chose Law Enforcement where I have to have the most patience.
