Olivia hadn't realized she'd shot Drake until she heard her daughter's piercing scream. Quickly holstering her gun, she rushed over to grab Madison.

Drake writhed on the floor in pain. He had gotten shot in the shoulder. Back-up swarmed in and the three men were led away. Olivia sat on the floor cradling her baby close to her.

"I've got you," she murmured as she felt Madison's tears on her neck, "Mommy's got you." The detective slowly stood up, walking towards Elliot who put his hand on his daughter's back.

"Let's get her to the hospital," he said quietly, leading his wife outside.

Melinda was in the squadroom with Janelle. They had been talking for over an hour and she was really beginning to like this girl. Their conversation came to a halt when Melinda's phone rang.

"Hello? What? Thank God! Is she okay? Uh huh…okay. We'll be here. Bye." She pressed the end button and looked up at Janelle, "They found her."

Janelle smiled a genuine smile, "That's great!"

Melinda nodded and grinned, "I'm going to go tell Casey and Jonah. I'll be right back."

Shae had been sitting with Casey for a while, unable to sleep. Jonah was with them as well. They all looked up when they saw Melinda.

"They found Madison!" she announced, "They're taking her to the hospital and then coming back home."

Shae let out a breath and closed her eyes, "Thank you, God."

"Is she okay?" Jonah asked.

"They said she looks physically unharmed but they're taking her to the hospital just to be sure."

Casey sighed, "All's well that ends well."

Olivia held a sleeping Madison in her arms as everyone headed home. The hospital visit hadn't been very long and although she was okay physically, Madison was scarred mentally. Fin had volunteered to drive the long distance home. Munch sat in the passenger seat. Cragen had opted to take a separate car.

Elliot sat in the back with his wife, his hand brushing Madison's curls, "Thank God we found her. If we had come any later…"

Olivia shook her head, "Don't you dare say it," she whispered vehemently.

Elliot sighed, "I'm sorry, I.."

"No, I'm sorry," Olivia interrupted him, "I didn't mean to be so rude. It's just…the thought of what could have happened…"

Elliot kissed her head and she rested her head on his shoulder, "What's important is that it didn't happen," he said quietly.

"And I'll thank God for that every day," she said, tracing a finger lightly across Madison's cheek.

Olivia sat in her daughter's bedroom one morning, watching as she slept. It had been a week since her return and things were slowly getting back to normal. Fin had introduced Janelle to everyone when they had seen her in the squadroom.

Olivia looked down as Madison whimpered in her sleep. The child had been having constant nightmares since her abduction.

"Mommy!" she screamed in her sleep, "Mommy!"

Olivia gently shook her awake, "Wake up, Maddie. Wake up." Madison jolted awake with a start.

"Daddy?" she gasped out, searching the room, "Where's Daddy?"

"He's at work, Honey." Olivia has been staying home with Madison where as Elliot had returned to work in order to keep at least one source of income. She reached over and picked Madison up in her arms.

"It's only you, me, and Zach," she said, walking to the bathroom and setting Madison down on the floor. The six year old brushed her teeth while her mother got Zachary. The three of them headed to the kitchen.

"I was thinking," Olivia said as she placed a burbling Zach in his high chair, "That you should go to school tomorrow."

Madison shook her head, curls flying, "I wanna stay with you, Mommy."

"Sweetie, you can't stay with Mommy all the time. I bet your teacher and class really miss you," Olivia tried to reason as she pulled out some cereal.

Madison shook her head once again, "Why can't I stay with you? Don't you love me?"

Olivia felt a lump form in her throat, "That's not fair," she whispered to no one in particular before turning to Madison, "Madison Claire Stabler, you are going to school tomorrow."

Tears formed in Madison's eyes before she yelled in anger, "I hate you!" She ran to her room, slamming the door in anger.

Olivia was stunned. None of her children had ever said that to her. She felt a tickle on her chin and realized a tear had fallen. Wiping it away, she got busy getting breakfast for Zachary.

"You don't hate me, do you Zach?" she whispered.

Zach smiled at her, "Mama!"

She gave him a smile because that single word meant so much to her.

Casey circled around the table that Drake was seated at. They were in an interrogation room along with Drake's attorney. The redhead sat down on table, leaning in close to the handcuffed pedophile.

"Twenty-five to life with no parole." She said and Drake's attorney scoffed.

"Yeah right."

Casey smiled; she had prepared for this, "Your client kidnapped a little girl, was carrying a firearm without a license, and do we have to mention the multiple pounds of cocaine the police found when they searched the building?"

She turned to Drake, "Of course, I could get you something else including a comfy little chair and a couple of needles."

Drake leaned in towards his attorney before sighing and turning back, "Fine, whatever."

Casey smirked triumphantly and headed out of the room, calling over her shoulder, "Pleasure doing business with you, boys."

Shae and Angel were eating lunch when Andrew came over and sat down.

"Hey," he said, "How are you guys doing?"

"I'm just glad Madison is back," Shae replied.

Angel nodded, taking a sip of her water, "Same. You and I need to have a chat."

Andrew noticed she was looking in his direction and he turned around, wondering whom she was talking too, "Are you talking to me?"

Angel rolled her eyes, "Yes, come with me."

Shae narrowed her eyes, "Angel…"

"I swear I'll bring him back alive!"

The blonde lead Andrew to a secluded part of the cafeteria before whirling around, "Shae likes you…a lot, and I'm okay with it. I'm going to warn you once: hurt her and I will castrate you with a rusty knife, blend your dick, and then spoon feed it to you. Do you understand me?"

Andrew paled a bit and nodded quickly, not doubting Angel's capability to carry out her threat, "I understand."

Angel smiled, her entire demeanor softening, "Okay, truce?" she asked, sticking out her friend. Andrew took her hand and pulled her in for a friendly hug.

Fin was catching up on some paper work when Janelle entered the room and sat down next to him.

"Fin?"

"Yeah?"

"Instead of Olivia shopping with us, can we go with Melinda?" Janelle asked, "I mean with the kidnapping it's the last thing she needs to worry about and I think Melinda's really cool."

Fin put his pen down and looked up at his daughter, "You really like her, huh?"

"Yeah, I do," Janelle nodded and paused before throwing caution into the wind, "Do you like her?"

Fin wiped his hands on his jeans, "Well, yeah," he stuttered, "She's one of my friends."

Janelle rolled her eyes, "We both know what I mean when I say 'like'."

"Don't you gotta go do some homework or somethin'?"

Janelle sighed and got up, not bothering to tell him she hadn't gone to school for about two weeks now, "Okay, okay. I'm gone!"

Now that he was alone, Fin pondered the question in his head. Did he like Melinda? He was afraid, because the answer to that question was a definite yes.

Shae returned home later on that evening, smiling to herself. She walked into the living room where her parents were. Elliot was what it seemed to be consoling Olivia.

"Hi," Shae said, putting down her bag, "What's wrong, Mom?"

Olivia sighed, "Madison said she hated me."

Shae raised an eyebrow, "Madison said that?"

"Olivia told her she had to go to school and she wasn't too happy about it," Elliot explained, rubbing Olivia's shoulder.

"Do you mind if I go talk to her?" Shae asked.

Olivia shook her head, "By all means, try."

Shae walked to Madison's room and knocked on the door, "Maddie?" she called, "Can I come in?"

She opened the door and Madison was sitting on the latter's bed, holding a well-worn stuffed rabbit. Shae sat down next to her sister.

"I heard you're mad at Mommy," she said, "How come?"

Madison sniffled, "Mommy doesn't love me anymore."

Shae's jaw dropped in disbelief. She picked up her sister, placing her on her lap, "What are you talking about, Mads?"

Madison squeezed her stuffed animal tightly, "She's making me go back to school and then Drake's gonna come back. I don't wanna go back to his castle."

Shae finally understood and squeezed Madison, "Maddie, Drake is gone. You never have to go anywhere with him again," she explained, "Mommy would never make you go back to school if she knew he was there. Do you wanna go talk to her?"

Madison gave a small nod and Shae picked her up, walking to the living room.

Elliot and Olivia looked up as their daughters walked into the room. Shae deposited Madison on the ground, "Mom, Maddie didn't want to go back to school because she thought Drake was gonna be there."

"Drake's not going to be there, Sweetie," she assured Madison, "He's going to go away for a very long because what he did was bad."

Madison cast her eyes down, "Do you still love me?"

Olivia reached over to draw the six year old into her arms, "Of course I still love you, Baby."

Madison sniffled and rested her cheek against Olivia's shoulder, "I don't hate you, Mommy."

Olivia smiled, "I know, Honey." She gave Madison a quick kiss before standing up and handing her daughter to Elliot.

"I'm gonna go get Zach and then we can watch a movie," she said before disappearing upstairs.

Elliot looked down at his youngest daughter, "So, you ready to go back to school tomorrow?"

Madison nodded, "Uh-huh."

Elliot grinned, "Good," he looked up at Shae, "Come here so I can hug you." Shae laughed before complying.
