"She'll be home with her kid in time for dinner." Abbie sighed as they walked out of the interrogation room. Olivia nodded and smiled sadly. Abbie saw the look in her eyes and stepped closer.

"Hey, you busy later?" She asked her friend. Liv shook her head and Abbie nodded.

"Be at mine at six, you look like you need company." She said softly, smiling at Olivia. Her only response was a slight nod. Abbie walked away and Cragen glared at his detectives.

"My office, now!" he growled, stalking away. The two looked at each other with matching confused expressions on their faces.

Once they were inside the office, they proceded to get chewed out. Their captain yelled for a good five minutes before releasing them, and Olivia left the office feeling properly abashed.

She survived the rest of the work day, albeit barely, and she left at 5:30. She quickly made the decision to change before heading over to Abbie's.

She arrived at the feisty ADA's apartment at five after six, and quickly made it up the stairs. She knocked on her door aprehensivly, because, Abbie was a force to be reckoned with at times. Abbie opened the door dressed in comfy sweats, and Olivia sighed gratefully. Obviously now was not one of those times.

"Hey Benson. Glad you came." Abbie smiled, though worry lit her eyes at the dejected look on the brunette's face. She ushered her into the living room, and Olivia flopped down on the familiar couch.

"oh sure, just make your self right at home!" Abbie teased, and Olivia grinned for the first time since they had caught the case. She wasn't sure why, but the feisty, and debatably crazy lawyer had that effect on her.

"Yep, you forget that I helped buy this couch, councelor." She laughed. Abbie conceded, and flopped down at the other end of the couch. The two women had known each other since Abbie had been assigned to Olivia's precinct, fresh out of law school. Liv had just been a rookie then, and they had helped each other learn the ropes in the world of law and order.

"So, you gonna tell me why this case affected you so bad?" Abbie asked, cutting straight to the chase. Olivia sighed.

"If I don't you'll just bug it out of me." she groaned. Abbie grinned.

"Damn right I will!" she teased, but her face grew serious again. Olivia sighed and ran a hand through her short dark hair.

"The kid." She begins looking down.

"The Stevens kid?" she asked, slightly supprised. Olivian nodded, and sighed.

"Look, there's something I never told you." She said softly. Abbie reached over and grabbed her hand. Olivia took a deep breath and looked her dead in the eyes.

"My mother was raped, nine months before I was born." She whispered. Abbie gasped and pulled Liv in for a hug.

"I'm sorry." She said softly, holding the distressed detective close. They stayed that way for a while. Then Abbie pulled back.

"there's something I want to tell you." She says softly. The detective looked slightly confused but nodded.

"When I was 19, my room mate went on vacation with her family. While she was gone, a man I believed to be my friend crawled through the window, and raped me." She said softly, tears beginning to fall.

This time its olivia's turn to pull the brunette in for a hug.

"thank you for telling me." she whispered softly. Abbie nodded, beyond words, against olivia's shoulder.

"Hey," she said pulling back, some of the usual fire lighting her eyes. "You should come out with me and a few friends on friday, we're celebrating the fact that a friend I met in law school just got hired at the DA's office."

"Okay, but im not getting drunk again!" olivia laughed. The women smiled at each other.

"Hey, you wanna stay over? We can watch legally blond!" she said, with an evil grin on her face. Olivia sighed, looking scared.

"Fine, but we only watch the first one, and only once!" she growled, throwing a pillow at Abbie. They laughed and Abbie put the movie on.

"Thank you for this." Liv whispered as they cuddle on the couch.

"No problem Liv," is the sleepy response that she gets.
