Elliot was awoken by some strange noise. "Elliot!" "Elliot wake up!" He opened his eyes to see Sophie standing there crying. "What, what?!" "It's mom! "What is it?" "what?! What is it?! But then everything turned black.

He awoke, gasping for air as he reached over to make sure Liv and the baby were still there. "aah! " Liv screamed as she awoke to him grabbing onto her. "What are you doing?!" She yelled at him. "I'm sorry babe, I had a dream, something was wrong and I just got scared that you were gone." She smiled at the thought of him being so worried about her. "It's fine babe, we're fine." We, this new plural she found herself using.

Elliot got up and walked to the bathroom, it was almost time to get up anyway. He splashed some water on his face, and walked out into the living room. He sat down and turned on the TV. He was worried, he didn't know why but he was worried. He couldn't find anything to watch so he just turned it off. He started reading, he didn't know what else to do.

Suddenly from the bedroom he heard Liv slowly exhale as if she was in pain. He walked into the bedroom to see her sitting there, hand on one side of her stomach, breathing. "Everything ok?" "I think i'm having one of the cramps the doctor was talking about." she said between breaths. "It's not very bad at all, it's just that the baby doesn't know what going on so he keeps kicking me. "Oh," he said "well is there anything I can do?" "yes, can you rub my back? It really hurts on my back" she said. He did as told and it seemed to help. "Ooh, should I call and make sure that it was only a cramp?" Elliot said. "No babe, it's fine, let's go back to sleep."

At work that day Liv couldn't help but notice that there was always a small air of a cramp, but not like that morning. She just decided it was fine and went on with her day. But after lunch it became almost unhideable, and she knew soon it would be obvious. She went out to her car, turned the air conditioning on, and just sat a moment. It became almost unbearable, she held onto her stomach and shed a tear or two, praying that nothing was wrong. And yet, after one last cramp, it just went away. It was as if nothing had ever happened. She slowly made her way back inside, and sat down.

The rest of the day was cramp-free. Elliot came by a few times to talk for a few minutes, but then went right back to working. Liv couldn't figure out what had happened earlier but she was glad it was over.

That night when they got home, the phone was ringing. It was Cragen "hello?" Liv said " Hey we found a family member willing to take in Sophie" Liv's heart fell to the floor. "What?" "well, she has an aunt who said she would love to take in Sophie." "ok, well does she have to go with this aunt?" "well, kind of yes. She will appear in court to show that she is a good fit, and so will Sophie." "oh, ok. Are you guys still going camping this weekend?" She could hear the smile when he said "of course hon."

Liv quietly crept into Sophie's room. "Hey honey?" She said "hey! What's up?" Sophie seemed happy. "Well, do you remember your aunt alicia?" "oh yeah, god that woman is rude" "well, she said she wants to take you in. I guess you will have to go to court to see if she's ok to take care of you." She could see the fear in her eyes. "What? I don't want to go with her!" "I'm sure that if you don't want to go with her that there will be another family memeber willing." Sophie started to cry. "No you don't get it, it's not just her, I don't want to go with anybody, I don't want to leave here. She hugged Liv as she cried. Liv realized what this meant...
