Fin pulled in front of the two story brick house that Mary and Olivia had bought a few months back. He walked around the back of the car and opened the door. "Liv, honey wake up so I can get you inside. Liv…Olivia Benson-Blackwood wake up so I can get you inside." Olivia just rolled over. She was passed out. Gently Fin pulled her from the car and lifted her in his arms. Man she is lighter than my dog he thought to himself.

He sat her down easy on the porch bench careful to make sure she didn't hit her head. He began digging in her coat pocket trying to find her keys. He found two sets. Why do you have two sets he asked out loud? He began going key to key that he thought may have been a house key. Luck was on his side. The third key he tried was the correct one. Thank god he muttered as he pushed the door open.

He walked back and picked Olivia up. He carefully maneuvered through the door with her and up the stairs to her bedroom. He laid her on the bed and removed her shoes, jacket, badge and gun. He laid her back on the pillows and covered her with the blanket at the bottom of the bed. She rolled over and extended her arm across the bed taking a deep breath in. A smile spread acrossed her face and she whispered Mary's name. Fin shook his head. It was so oblivious that she loved Mary. Swallow your pride and go talk to her he thought.

Fin went into the kitchen and put a pot of coffee on. Liv was definitely going to need it when she came to. He walked around the house looking at the pictures. The love they have for each other could clearly be seen in their faces. That was it Fin decided he was taking matters into his own hands.

"What is it Fin? What does she need?" Mary asked answering her phone. There was no need for a hello when he called. The calls meant Liv needed something and Mary would make sure she got what she needed.

Fin took a deep breath "You" was his only answer.

"Fin, she doesn't want me anymore. She told me to never call her again and she never wanted to see me again."

"Damn it Mary she is as hard headed as you. Now get your ass to your house and work things out."

"It's no longer my house Fin. I gave it to her. That way she wouldn't have to worry about finding a place to live. She will always be safe."

"I don't really care anymore. Tell yourself whatever you want. But know this. Your wife…YOUR WIFE is upstairs passed out drunk….DRUNK…because she misses you so much. Now get your ass over here."

"Fin I can't...She" Mary was cut off

"I don't give a damn. Either you bring your ass over here or I will call Stabler in from his honeymoon to drag you over here."

"NO Fin don't. You know he's gonna want to kill me and that will only hurt Liv more."

"Yeah, I know. But you guys have got to talk. She cries herself to sleep and I'm sure you do to. Why not cry in each other arms?"

"It's not that easy, man. There are factors here that no one knows about. It's best like this."

"Best hell. Face it together."

"I wish we could man."

"You can" Fin heard a knock at the door "Just talk to her. I'll call you later someone's at the door." Fin snapped phone shut and headed to the door. What he didn't realize Mary was screaming don't answer the door when he hung up.

Fin opened the open the door and there stood Melinda Warner. "What are you doing here?" Fin asked.

"I came to talk to Olivia. What are you doing here?"

"Liv got drunk. I went and picked her up and brought her back here."

"Olivia got drunk? Now that's something serious. I'm glad I came over. We have got to find a way to get them together. Can I come in?"

Fin stepped back and motioned for her to enter and have a seat. "I just put some coffee on. Would you like some?"

"Sure. Do you remember how I like it?"

"How can I forget?" Fin answered with a smile as he walked into the kitchen. A few minutes later he returned with two cups of steaming coffee. "So what's your plan?"

"Simple tell Olivia the truth."

"She's not listening. She's determined that Mary is cheating on her."

"You don't know the whole truth either do you?"
"No what are talking about."

"Trust me you want to sit for this." Melinda gave Fin time to sit down and get comfortable before continuing. "There is a contract hit out on both Mary and Olivia. The DEA finally caught the guy who killed Mary's first wife. She has to testify. They want to kill her to stop her from testifying and they threatened Olivia's life because they know Mary will do whatever is needed to protect her. That's why she's not fighting any harder."

"There's what? Didn't Mary think that was something we needed to know so we could protect her? Why the hell hide it"

"Calm down. Maria, the woman she overheard Mary talking to, also an ex-girlfriend apparently, has a protective detail on her. Mary is also thinking that as long as she stays away Liv will be safe. No need to hurt her or kill her if Mary no longer "loves her". "

"Oh my god this is Mary's way of protecting Olivia. Liv would rather have her by her side and looking over her back than live without her. When all this blew over she was what just going to walk in the squad room and say sorry this is what happened I love you forgive me."

"No she figured by the time it was over Olivia would never talk to her again. She said it would be the price she paid to know she would always be alright. She's determined but one look at her and you can tell it's tearing her apart."

"It should be. Hell..."

"Oh and she was shot ten days ago. I had to re stitch her a little while ago."

"Shot? Liv never got the call."

"I know. That would have probably got them back together and we wouldn't be sitting here breaking confidences."

"Amen. Have you thought of any solutions to our problem?"

"Lie"

"About?"

"Olivia being hurt. I know it's risky but it will definitely get Mary to her side."

"And from there what?"
"I have no clue. Trap them in a room. Handcuff them together. Hell I don't know. We can worry about that later."

"No now because Mary will come in with guns blazing trust me."

"Fine how about calling Mary to the station to sign divorce papers. Put her in the interrogation room with Megan acting as Liv's attorney?"
"Can't Megan is on her honeymoon with Stabler. They're not due back for almost two more weeks."

"Well shit. I'll call Alex. She owes me a favor."

"That could work Melinda. Let's do this."

Melinda stood up to leave. "I'll call her on the way back then."

"Don't leave."

Melinda turned around "What?"

Fin smiled at her "Hang out here with me. It will probably be a while before Liv wakes up and she did drink a whole lot. You may want to go check on her. She didn't come too when I tried to wake her."

"I'll check on her" Melinda said as she started up the stairs.

About fifteen minutes later Melinda returned. "She's going to be fine but she will have one hell of a headache. I hang around with you till she wakes up. To make sure she's ok"

"I appreciate it Mel." Fin said as he grabbed the remote. "Let's see if a game is on to kill the time." Melinda settled next to him.
