Author's Note: This fic came to me in a dream…it played out as an SVU episode, so at the insistence of a friend, I decided to write it out.

Sinclair Residence

443 Park Ave.

September 16

"Audrey, we just had a few more questions." Elliot said when she opened the door.

"Of course, please come in, Detectives. I'll go tell Lauren you're here." She started to walk away and was immediately stopped by Olivia.

"Actually, Mrs. Sinclair, our questions are for you." Olivia said. Audrey showed them into the living room. She took a seat on one of the chairs while Elliot and Olivia sat on the couch opposite her.

"Mrs. Sinclair, who is Lauren's father?" Olivia asked.

"My husband. Why? What is all of this about?" said Audrey, shocked.

"We have evidence that proves that your husband can't be Lauren's father. All we're looking for is the truth." Olivia replied. Audrey closed her eyes for a minute and slouched in her chair.

"Sixteen years ago, I was raped on my way home from work. I was already married to Bob at the time, and when I found out I was pregnant, I assumed it was his." Tears slid down Audrey's cheeks.

"But, that would have been our case. Did you report it?" Olivia continued.

"No, he threatened to kill me if I talked, and I believed him. It was easier to just try to pretend that nothing had happened. I hoped and prayed the baby was Bob's, and he told me that he was her father no matter what…" Audrey said.

"Mom? You were raped?" Lauren had appeared in the doorway. "I heard…I'm sorry. I was coming to get a glass of water." Audrey looked at her daughter and then back to the detectives with a panic-stricken face.

"Lauren, why don't we go get that glass of water together." Olivia said, as she rose from the couch. Elliot continued to ask Audrey about their family dynamics.

"Lauren, are you ok?" Olivia asked.

"I'm fine." she said sharply.

"Lauren, it's ok…"

"It's ok? What the hell are you talking about? I just found out that my mother was raped, and the man I've known as a father really isn't him, and that my real father is a rapist, and that's supposed to be ok?" she spat.

"There are plenty of people out there who were conceived through rape. It's awful, but it doesn't change the fact that the man you call Dad raised you. He's you father, regardless of what the DNA says." Olivia said.

"Oh yeah? How many people do you know who were conceived through rape?"

"I was." Olivia said. Lauren's face instantly changed from wanting to kill her to complete shock. She took a few steps towards Olivia and threw her arms around her. Olivia stroked her head as she spoke.

"Lauren, who raped you two nights ago?" Olivia asked softly. Lauren gripped her even tighter.

"My…my dad's friends. They were here for poker night while my mom went out with her friends." Lauren sobbed.

"Can you tell me their names?"

"Mr. Thompson, Mr. Jamison, and Mr. Thorngrove. They all took turns with me after they tied me up. When they got bored, the put me in another position and tied me up again. I don't remember when I passed out…I remember Mr. Jamison on top of me, and then I woke up in the hospital."

"Thank you, Lauren. That helps us a lot. I'm going to make sure they can't hurt you again, but I have to ask you, did your dad rape you too?" Lauren cried even harder.

"No…he'd never do that. He loves me." she said. Audrey appeared in the kitchen to find Lauren clinging to Olivia.

"Honey? Come here…let's get you back to bed." Audrey said to her daughter.

"Mom!" Lauren yelled and ran into her mother's arms, sobbing hysterically.

"Detectives, do you need anything else? I really need to take care of my daughter."

"No, I think we're finished. Thank you for your time Mrs. Sinclair. We'll see ourselves out." Olivia and Elliot headed for the front door leaving a crying Lauren behind, still wrapped in her mother's arms.

"What did you get from her?" Olivia asked Elliot.

"Not much more. She says they're a happy family, and they always have been. I believe her when she says she didn't know that Lauren wasn't Robert's. So far, she's been nothing but honest with us." Elliot told her.

"Well, Lauren's hiding something. She confessed to being raped and named three of the four men who did it."

"Let me guess, she didn't give up her father."

"Nope." Olivia's phone buzzed, and she checked the screen

I need to see you two ASAP. Melinda

"Warner needs to see us. Let's go."

"Dr. Higgins sent over the results of her examination on Lauren from the night she was admitted. She has vaginal and anal scarring that are years old." Warner reported.

"She was attacked before?" Elliot asked.

"Yes, and multiple times. It looks like this has been happening periodically for the past several years, probably when she entered puberty."

"You can prove that?" Olivia asked.

"Dr. Higgins can, and her report that came with Lauren's rape kit states the same thing. I've looked through all of the medical evidence, and I agree with her findings."

Sorry for the short chapter. There are more secrets in the Sinclair family coming! Please review!
