I own nothing but I can dream...

"Liv, it's Kathy. Elliot went to work, wont tell me anything, what's wrong with my daughter?" If you'd been there, one would see she was pacing back and forth worriedly.

Standing up, she made her way into the bedroom closing the door as to not let Lizzie overhear and make it any worse for the girl. "Look Kathy, I think you need to talk to El about this." She was trying not to get any more into it than she already was, besides he really should be the one talking to his wife not her.

"Liv, just tell me, he wont, tell me damn it. What's wrong with my daughter?"

It took a few seconds, she was having an internal debate with herself. "Look first of all, yelling and screaming wont help at all, but I will tell you."

Kathy stared at her phone for a bit, then putting it back to her ear, "tell me already."

Olivia sighed, "Lizzie says Kathleen touched her and made her do stuff, I believe her, so does Casey."

Outside the bedroom, Casey and Lizzie were still at dinner, Lizzie not eating, and Casey trying to tell her it would all be ok.

Growling into the phone, "NO! Kathleen wouldn't do that, she's making it up. My kids wouldn't abuse each other, and never sexually." Kathy just like Elliot couldn't or wouldn't believe that it could happen to them in their house under their nose. "She's been moody, depressed, some failing grades, all kids have an adjustment into a new school as they get older." She was trying to convince herself.

"Kathy, your a nurse, you've seen this before, listen to yourself." Olivia said in a calm voice thinking to herself, could they really be in so much denial?

"Keep here there till she's ready to tell the truth, we don't need her filling Dickie's head with lies." Slamming down the phone, she didn't want to believe that this could happen, how could she be expected to choose between her kids, one claiming she was molested by her older sister, Kathleen wasn't even home to ask, not like she would have asked Kathy thought to herself.

Hanging up, she went back to dinner giving Casey the look they did at work when a parent wasn't going to be of any help at all, Case sighed rubbing Lizzie's back.

"My mom wont believe me either will she?" Lizzie asked as more tears ran down her face.

"They just need some time is all. Your parents love you, they just need to work this out for themselves."

After dinner Olivia set Lizzie up in the guest room, "here's a towel and some green apple wash. why don't you take a shower and then we can watch a movie or you can try to get some sleep."

Lizzie took the stuff and headed towards the bathroom, "ok."

Casey cleaned up the take out, once Olivia was back. "Can they be that blind?"

Shaking her head as she leaned in kissing her girl friend, "no one wants to see one child is doing this to another." Liv was being the voice of reason, but she knew if they didn't come around soon, things would get a lot worse.

"NO! we see it all the time, it happens way to much, someone needs to protect Lizzie." She said pulling out of the kiss, looking as if she would cry at any moment, She knew all to well older brothers and sisters did this to younger ones.

Moving to the couch Olivia wrapped Case in her arms, "hey, hey, you ok baby? we are protecting Lizzie, she will stay with us as long as we can have her."

Casey shook her head not wanting to talk about it, she had to keep it focused on Lizzie, and off of herself, she wasn't ready to talk about it. "Yea, just can't believe it. wouldn't think Stabler of all people would just walk out on this." She curled up on Liv's shoulder as Lizzie came down the hall.

Lizzie didn't want to be alone, but not really able to stay awake, yawned, "Can I stay here for now?" She curled herself up against the end of the couch.

"Sure you can, how about some tea?" Liv watched her for an answer. "Can it be hot chocolate?" Lizzie asked.

"I'll make it baby." Casey nodded at the girl making her way into the kitchen, she got out three cups the cocoa mix and some milk. She knew the warm milk would help her sleep after the long day they had had, and wanted Lizzie to try and sleep some at least.

"Livia, think they will forgive me?"

Liv took her hands wrapping them around Lizzie's leaning in, "forgive you for what honey? You haven't done anything wrong."

Casey sighed listening from the kitchen, sadly she knew all to well and had once thought and asked that herself to people.

"I ruined everything, I should've never said anything." Her head hung down so she wouldn't have to look at Liv.

Liv shook her head fiercely, "Lizzie honey, look at me." She raised the girls chin with her hand carefully. "You didn't ruin anything, I want you to feel you can always come to me with anything, this was not your fault."

Ten minutes after entering the kitchen, Case came out with three cups of hot chocolate, carefully holding them by the handles. "Here you go baby girl," Handing one to Liz as she put the other two down on the table.

Fifteen minutes into the movie Liz was asleep, Olivia scooped her up placing her in bed in the guest room, before taking Casey to bed. "Baby, you ok? Just seam rattled by all this." She asked as she changed into some pajamas.

"I'm ok, just a long day, and I want to shoot El for all this, I can't believe he just left her here like that."

Olivia nodded as they got into bed, "he may be my partner, but he's a hot head too at times, I really hope they come around soon, Lizzie's going to need them."

"Please, please, no I don't wanna.." Lizzie kicked the blankets off, arms pushing someone that wasn't there away. Liv shot up out of bed and ran into the room, "Lizzie it's ok, just a dream, your dreaming, wake up baby girl."

Her eyes shot open, "I'm ok, just.. a.. dream.." she panted out as she looked around.

Liv stayed with her till she fell back to sleep but was up at least every hour with her, the girl had a fitful sleep with no real rest. Casey had at one point come in and stayed as well, then went back to sleep after Liv said she had it.

Lizzie opened her eyes at seven am, to see Liv on the other bed finally sleeping some, she slipped out of bed and headed to the bathroom, then curled up on the floor crying in the hallway not wanting to wake anyone.

While they made breakfast, Lizzie asked to use the phone, she just had to call home, she wanted her parents to believe her and not be mad at her. "Mommy?"

Kathy looked angrily at the phone, "ready to come home and tell the truth?"

"Mommy, she did it I wouldn't lie... I didn't... she made me, please mommy please, I'm telling it please." Lizzie was crying into the phone pleading and begging her mom to believe her.

"Lizzie.."
