She walked into her old apartment and looked around. As she walked through she saw some things were missing. The squad must have been coming to clear out the apartment. Some pictures were still hung up while other items were in boxes. She glanced at all the pictures and smiled at some of them. She stopped at one. It was the only one of her and Fin she had. She took it off the wall and held it. She smiled when she remembered when it was taken.
It was the black and white ball and the whole precinct was there. Olivia and John were talking while sitting at the bar.
"How many more times do you think we'll have to sit through one of these things?"
"You know you are more than welcome to retire John." Olivia said taking a sip of her drink.
"Wow, I feel so loved by you, Liv."
"Oh stop. You know I would miss you if you really retired." Olivia said placing a hand on John's shoulder. John smiled and got up. Olivia laughed and shook her head. She was waiting on another drink when she felt herself being lifted. She wrapped her arms around the person's neck and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Fin. "Really Fin? You think that was smart?"
"No, but it was funny."
Olivia smiled sadly and put the picture back on the wall. She looked around and wandered into Ella's room. She smiled at the light pink painted walls, the toddler sized bed, and the trunk filled to the top with stuffed animals. She smiled sadly at the picture of Ella as a baby on a shelf. She shook her head and realized she had to go back to Fin's house, if not for him then for her daughter. She left and went back to Fin's house. When she got in, she saw Fin sitting at the kitchen table nursing what seemed like his fourth beer.
"Fin?"
"What are you doing here? You're dead."
"And you're drunk. This is what you do with a two year old in the house." She tried not to tell.
"You're the one who left her with me." Fin said opening his fifth. Olivia stormed down the hall to Ella's room.
"Ella, baby, wake up. Come on sweetie." Ella slowly opened her eyes and saw her mom.
"Mommy?"
"Shh, come on baby, we're going on a little trip." Olivia pulled the covers off of her and picked her up. Ella put her arms around Olivia's neck and her head on her mother's shoulder. She was quickly back to sleep. Olivia picked up a blanket and wrapped his around her daughter. She walked out into the living room.
"Where are you taking her? You can't take her anywhere. No one can see you but us."
"I'll take her back to my apartment. We'll stay there tonight so you have a chance to sober up. I'll bring her back tomorrow and if you're still drunk, I'll give Don sole and final custody and you will never see her again."
"Then she'll never see you again." Olivia stopped. "See you need to leave her here." Olivia turned and looked at him.
"I'll bring her back tomorrow." Then she was gone. Fin slumped down into a chair and went over what had just happened. He looked at the beer in his hand and put it down. He may have just lost not only the little girl he viewed as his daughter, but also the love of his life; twice. He dumped the rest of the beer down the drain. He grabbed a glass of water and drank it all before getting more and two Aspirin. He took the Aspirin and went to bed praying that he could fix what he broke.
