This was just one that ran through my mind, based off season 20. Clearly not a fan of Dr. Al and cringed when he asked Amanda to move in with him. Now though we havent gotten a definitive answer of her saying "yes or no" I took it to another level.

Exactly two weeks ago she thought she had made the right decision for her little family to move in with Al. She had moved her little girl Jesse who was getting excited to be a big sister and her beloved pooch Frannie in with the guy who had seemed to change from his cheating ways. She was happy at first, they got along, Jesse was adjusting well and Frannie was just Frannie. This pregnancy seemed to bring them together even though in the beginning Al didnt want the baby and even wanted her to get an abortion.

Being a doctor wasnt easy, especially with all the hours and very little sleep. He and Amanda had a few squabbles since she had moved in. There had been some name calling and so forth but it never amounted to anything. Then to top it off there was a toddler in the house and she wasnt exactly quiet, as well as Frannie when she was talkative; she had aways been a vocal dog. Well today was going to be the worst of the 'true Al' coming out.

Al had come home from work tired and in a real shitty mood. Amanda had been trying to tidy up the place as Jesse wasnt the best at picking up her toys and stuff, then again what child really is? When he walked in the door Jesse said "Hi Mr. Al." giving him a little smile. Amanda smiled as her daughter was trying. He just plain ignored her. She again tried to show him a picture she drew "Mr. Al, I drew this for you." He looked at her, he really didnt have the patience with her so he snapped. "Look Jesse I didnt answer you for a reason. I'm tired and I dont want to be bothered." Jesse looked at him heartbroken as she had spent time on her little picture. She got so angry she started to cry, ripped the picture and went over to her mom, hiding behind her legs. "JESSE GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE AND PICK UP THIS MESS YOU JUST MADE. I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE I DONT LIKE MESSY CHILDREN." Jesse shook her head no, and stayed where she was. He got fed up and came over to Amanda. Amanda while having one hand on Jesse's head and one on her baby bump, backed up just a bit. She didnt like the crazy look Al was getting in his eye. He was close to her once again he raised his voice "JESSE ROLLINS GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW AND PICK UP THIS FUCKING MESS ON MY KITCHEN FLOOR. YOU MADE THE MESS, YOU CLEAN IT UP RIGHT NOW." Amanda trying to make peace, tried to reason with her little girl who was hiding. "Jesse sweetie please go pick up the papers and put them in the trash." Jesse shook her head no, she wasnt usually this defiant but at the same time Al had hurt her feelings.

Al was losing his patience quickly, so since the little girl hadnt listened and stayed behind her mother; he grabbed her elbow and pulled. The little girl screaming, Frannie was going bonkers. Barking very loudly, Al had pulled Jesse over to the pile of papers that she had ripped. "I FUCKING TOLD YOU TO PICK YOUR SHIT UP, YOU MADE THIS FUCKING MESS, YOU ARE PICKING IT UP." Amanda tried to move over to her daughter " AL LEAVE HER ALONE. ILL GET THE DAMN MESS. SHE DREW THE PIC FOR YOU AND YOU HURT HER FEELINGS. LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE." He looked at Amanda, next thing she heard was Jesse tell him once again no and then she called him a "Meany". Oh that lit Al right up. Ever been in the postion you wanted to move and just couldnt get your feet to move where you want? Well thats what happened to Amanda next. Al reached down and slapped her daughter right across the face. Jesse wailed. "MAAAAMMMMAAAA" That set off Frannie. She went right after Al. That bark before that was the warning bark was no more. Now this was a mean bark and Frannie was in attack mode. Just as Al was about to slap Jesse again Frannie leaped into action jumping him and sinking her teeth into his arm. Where she was a pitbull she had that lock jaw and he wasnt able to break free. When Frannie did that Jesse ran over to her Mama. Tears coming down her baby girls face. Al was so pissed "AMANDA CALL OFF THIS PIECE OF SHIT DOG. SHE'S GONNA END UP FUCKING DEAD." He tried to shake her off but she wasnt letting go. Infact her growls were getting more and more mean. Amanda wouldnt call her off, her pup was doing what she was supposed to do and that was protect her daughter. Al got tired of the dog so he took his free hand to punch her then kick her. The dog let go, whimpered as she laid in a heap. Amanda kept Jesse behind her and got over to her dog as fast as she could, which wasnt too fast cause she wasnt exactly moving quickly these days. Quickly checking Frannie's limbs to make sure she was okay she got back up. Without saying a word to Al, calling Frannie to follow her she went to their room to pack a bag. She had no idea where she was gonna go but Al was dangerous. It wasnt just verbal abuse with him anymore, yeah he had grabbed her a few times and even slapped her but this was it. He assaulted her daughter twice and hurt her dog.

Grabbing the essentials she needed clothes, for one and her feminine needs as well as her and Jesse's hair and tooth brushes. She went on to grab Jesse some clothes, her blanket, some toys and she was done. Oh if she thought she was going to just up and leave after he gave her a key she was sadly mistaken. Frannie was at the door, Jesse clung to her mama, not saying a word. Her cheeks were still stained with the tracks of her earlier tears. Frannie got closer her humans as she felt she was gonna have to protect once again. Sure enough it wasnt long that Frannie would get her answer, as Al got even closer to Amanda her fur went up, she barred her teeth and growled. Al pissed as he was, his tone was now scaring Amanda, but she wouldnt show him that. She didnt want to talk to him anymore, her daughter was being traumatized enough tonight. She tried to open the door, he shoved it closed. "I'M LEAVING AL. IM DONE. YOUVE ATTACKED MY CHILD, MY DOG AND BY STRESSING ME OUT, YOU HAVE PUT MY UNBORN CHILD AT RISK. SO GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY." He looked at her, his anger bubbling out of control "YOU'RE NOT FUCKING LEAVING AND THAT'S THAT." Next thing before she knew or could react he slapped her right across her face, resulting in a bloody nose and lip. Frannie once again sunk her teeth into him. He yowled in pain and stepped back, she used this to her advantage getting her and Jesse into the hall. "Come Frannie." Frannie let go and came over to Amanda sitting near her, perched again in the protective stance. "Goodbye you son of a bitch. I regret the day I moved in here and I regret being with you. So kindly FUCK OFF. Ill come and get my things when you are not here." With that she left with her daughter, her dog and a bag of clothes.

Olivia was home relaxing with her wine and reading. Some mystery book that had pulled her in. Since it was around ten at night she had gotten Noah to bed not that long ago. Figure weekends she was a bit lax on the bedtimes. So she took this time to just kick back and enjoy the quiet with a good book. Little did she know her relaxing night was about to take one hell of a drastic turn. She laid her book on her chest and closed her eyes. Just as she had fallen asleep, not into that deep slumber type of sleep; it was the sleep just before that. There was a knock at the door. She glanced at the time and it was around eleven so she hadnt been asleep too long. Just as she got up she heard the soft knock again and what sounded like a cry. She hurried over to the door, looking through her peep hole she saw the sight that was Amanda and her little family. Opening the door, Jesse plowed into Liv.

"Auntie Liv, Mr. Al is a meany." Jesse's eyes revealed a look of hurt, she bent down to the little girl and hugged her. When she hugged her she saw the welt and what looked to be finger prints on Jesse's face. She went to touch it and Jesse flinched. "Sweetie, why dont you take Frannie and go sit on the couch honey." Jesse did as she was told. Liv gently ushered the blonde in and closed the door. Eyes down to the ground, stammering as she talked "We-we-we had nowhere else to go. We can-we can leave." Liv shook her head as she walked the tired, blonde over to her couch. "Nonsense. You, Jesse and Frannie are always welcome here. You know that right?" Amanda nodded, her voice soft and vulnerable "I do now." Liv patted her hand. "Good. Look you sit right here and relax, since Jesse is curled up on the couch I'm going to get her into Noah's room on his guest cot." Liv went and got the cot set up and then came out to get Jesse. Jesse again flinched, Liv took note and prepped herself to ask Amanda. She got the little girl tucked in and covered her with the blanket she had been holding. Kissing Jesse quickly on her forehead and kissing Noah's head she went out to see what was up with her friend.

Liv walked back out to the living room. She watched Amanda for a minute as she had been quiet so Amanda didnt realize she was back in the room. Amanda was talking to the new baby in her belly and gently rubbing it. "my little one in here, I am soo sorry for everything. for how I failed to protect you. I failed you and Jesse. I failed protecting you. Dont you worry little one, he's not going to do it again. I promise you." She felt horrible about what happened. Liv went to the fridge and grabbed some water for them. When she came back over Amanda looked at her with doe eyes. "Let's just say moving in with Al was a huge mistake. If not the biggest mistake I've made." Liv sat there, patiently waiting for Amanda to talk; getting that sickening feeling she was not going to like what she was about to hear. That may be so but regardless she was going to be there for her friend regardless.

Amanda sat there for a while. She hadnt touched her water so Liv asked if she wanted something hot to drink. Amanda told her a hot cup of tea would be ideal. Liv got up and made her a cup of chammomile tea to try and ease her nerves. She handed the warm cup to her friend. She could see the tears welling up in her eyes and the blondes phone was obnoxiously going off. No need to wonder who that was. Liv gently laid her hand on Amandas back as Amanda had leant forward to place her cup on the table. Liv felt the tiny tremors and shivers that Amanda was exhibiting. "Honey can you tell me what happened and where the hell Jesse got that mark on her face?" With tears in her eyes she told Liv about everything. How the verbal abuse had started shortly after she moved in. She did make it clear that this was the first time that he had ever hit Jesse, however her it wasnt the first time he had gone after her. Liv was furious. One he hit her neice two he had been horrible to Amanda and hitting a pregnant woman who just happened to be her friend that was the final straw. "Liv he didnt do much damage. Frannie girl", the dogs ears perked up and she looked at them when she heard her name. "Frannie girl here bit the shit out of him when he struck Jesse, I woulda been the one he hit but I couldnt get my pregnant ass to move fast enough to stop it. I fucking let him hit my daughter. He tried to again and thats when Frannie bit him the first time, the second time he struck me in the face, Frannie bit him again and I got us the fuck out of there. I came here cause..." The blonde started to cry again and her hands went instinctively to her belly.

Liv was pissed, fucking pissed. Amanda didnt need this shit. Now her friend had fled her home in fear of what the father of her baby had done to her child, her unborn child, her dog and herself. "God why did I move in with him? I gave my apartment up. All cause I thought I had made the right decision for me and my family. But did I? No. I'm assed out no where to go. What kind of parent goes and does this and now neither of her kids has home? I'm fucking stupid as all hell." Listening to Amanda tell her story was heartbreaking and infuriating all at once. Liv wanted nothing more than to go and rip Al apart and possibly nail his balls to the wall.

Liv took the blondes hands, gently pulling her up "come on sweetie, let's get you some rest. You can use my bed. I'll take the couch." Amanda began to protest, she didnt want to kick her friend out of her bed. "Liv I cant take your bed. I didnt come here for that, I came over to crash on your couch." Liv shook her head, there was no way her pregnant friend was going to sleep out on the couch. "No Amanda this couch is shit for your back and you have the baby to think of. Not to mention my room is closer to the bathroom and I know how much you have to pee." Amanda didnt have it in her to fight about the sleeping situation. Raising her hands in defeat she reluctantly gave in "Okay okay I am too exhausted to argue. I'll go change. Thanks again Liv."

While Amanda went to change, Liv did the same and then pulled the covers down so the bed was ready to get in. Amanda came out in a tshirt, it was all she was comfortable sleeping in. She saw Liv waiting there. Liv lead her over to the bed as her exhaustion was hitting her. Liv helped her in the bed, not that her friend was helpless but her friend needed some extra tonight and she wasnt afraid to oblige. She saw Amanda's eyes start to close, she kissed her on the forehead and just as she was standing back up Amanda grabbed her hand. Liv looked at her. The soft emotion mixed with exhaustion apparent in her blue eyes.

"Liv can you stay in here with me? Please? After all that happened tonight, failing to protect my daughter and my dog from him; I just dont want to be alone." Olivia couldnt say no. She went to the opposite side of the bed and got in. Then she spoke her mind. "First off Amanda, you in no way failed to protect them. Your dog now protected the both of you. So dont doubt yourself sweetie. You were smart; you got yourself, your child, your unborn child and your dog the hell out of there." Sensing Amanda needed comfort she moved to close the distance between them. Amanda immediately turned into her arms. This made Amanda really let go, crying into her chest, Liv felt the hot tears and her friend's whole body quake with emotion. Liv held her tightly, so tight infact she could feel the baby moving around. She kept one arm under Amanda which was holding her close and put one on the baby to see if the baby would relax and sure enough the baby calmed down. This gesture only made Amanda more emotional. "Liv what am I going to do? I have no place to live. My landlord rented out my apartment. I cant go back to Al's I'm not willing to have another night like tonight. I cant risk my kids getting hurt nor Frannie."

Seeing that Amanda was on the verge of crashing she spoke quicky "Honey dont even worry about it. The minute you walked in my door looking like you did it was already decided that you are staying here. You, Jesse, Frannie and if the new baby comes before we get you a new place, then the new baby too." Amanda muttered a sleepy "thank you." As she fell asleep she cuddled more into Liv. Liv kissed her hair this time. She then reached for her cell phone. She text her number two. She knew Fin wouldnt tolerate this at all.

"Fin, I need you to go arrest Al. When he asks what for, tell him assault on a minor and assault on a pregnant woman. He tries to fight with you add on whatever you feel is necessary." Fin text her back he was on it. He dispised this man as it was. Liv went to sleep shortly after. Fin went to the hospital as he called to see if good ol Al was working and indeed he was. He went to the hospital and lucky for him he didnt have to go inside Al was standing outside on the phone.

"Al Pollack, you are under arrest for assault on a minor, and assault on a pregnant woman" He proceeded to read off Al's rights as he cuffed him and lead him to the car.

So what do you all think of this. It was just a one shot. I despise Al so obviously I made him a prick. Reviews are lovely
