A/N: More fluff and maybe a little angst but ya'll should expect that from me by now.


Chapter 25: I'm Broken Too

The next morning Haylee woke up to find Gen molded into her body, she smiled and brushed raven locks away from the back of her neck before placing a soft kiss to the silky, carmel skin.

Gen sighed but didn't stir, she unconciously moved herself impossibly closer into Haylee.

Haylee got up gently and quietly exited the bedroom, rubbing at her eyes as she walked into the bathroom to shower. When she was dry and dressed she found her girlfriend still sleeping so she decided to surprise her with breakfast. When she walked into the kitchen she spotted Olivia and Alex cooking and speaking in hushed tones.

"Good morning Ms. Benson, Ms. Cabot." She said, stifling a yawn.

"Please call me Olivia Haylee." Olivia said with a friendly smile.

"You may call me Alex." Alex said.

"Olivia and Alex then." Haylee said, returning the smile.

"I was wondering if I could talk to you..." Haylee began.

"What's wrong?" Olivia asked. "Where's Gen?" She started to head towards her daughter's bedroom.

"She's still asleep." Haylee said quickly.

"Oh..." Olivia said relieved.

"Anyway I wanted to talk to you about ... well with your permission ... I'd like to take Gen on a date this afternoon. A picnic in the park. You guys can come too..." Haylee said, a slight blush creeping to her cheeks.

"Of course you may. I'll prepare the food. It'll be fun!" Olivia said.

"So Haylee, what are your intentions with our Genesis?" Alex asked teasingly.

"I know we're young but I promise both of you I'd never do anything to hurt her. We've been friends for a year and she never told me about ..." Haylee paused, swallowing the lump forming in her throat. "I knew I loved her for sure 6 months ago." She said.

Alex looked to Olivia, "That's good enough for me Liv."

"Good enough for me too. But I'm afraid it's totally up to Gen what happens between you two." Olivia said. "Go easy on her." She added after a moments pause.

"I thought I'd surprise her with breakfast." Haylee said, looking back and forth between the two women.

"She may argue with you..." Olivia warned.

"I'll take my chances. She's really skinny, she needs to eat." Haylee said stubbornly.

"No I don't!" Gen snapped.

Alex, Olivia and Haylee all turned around in surprise to face a slightly pissed off Gen.

"Good morning gorgeous." Haylee said, moving towards her.

"Stop right there, Haylee Masterson!" Gen snapped.

Haylee paused and looked helplessly at her girlfriend.

"I wake up to find my moms and my new girlfriend plotting against me? WHAT THE FUCK?!" Gen roars.

"Babe we weren't-"Haylee began, but was soon cut off.

"Shove it!" Gen said.

"Gen what is going on with you this morning?" Alex asked.

Gen looked at her other mother and tears started streaming down her face.

"I woke up and Haylee was gone, I got up and looked for you and mom, you were all gone. I thought you all left me..." Gen said between sobs.

Haylee rushed to her girlfriends side and hugged her.

"I didn't leave, I wanted to surprise you with breakfast in bed and ask your moms if it was ok if we had that picnic this afternoon." Haylee said, kissing Gen's forehead.

Olivia frowned and slowly made her way over to her daughter, placing a hand on her back and rubbing circles.

"You know I won't even ever think about leaving you sweetheart." Olivia said in a soothing tone.


After coaxing Gen into eating, Haylee waited for her in her room while she showered and dressed. She was lost in her thoughts about how two people with so much in common had managed to find each other. She admired her girlfriend because she had never told anyone and for so long she had used her drug habit to cope, now that she no longer had that blanket of security, she wondered if it was time to finally tell someone.

'What will Gen think of me?' Haylee thought.

Last night sleeping with Gen curled beside her she felt safe, no matter how short the feeling of safety would be. Her thought process was interrupted when Gen burst back into the room.

"Mom's making the food for our picnic!" She squealed excitedly.

"Great." Haylee said, with a smile that didn't quite brighten her whole face.

Gen sat beside her on the bed and cupped her face between her hands.

"Hey, you ok? What's wrong?" Gen asked concerned.

"We are so much alike..." Haylee whispered.

"What?" Gen asked confused.

"I said we are so much alike... I'm broken too..." Haylee began. "You know why I use to always be high?" She asked rhetorically. "I'm always high because when I'm at home my stepdad is always drunk and it makes him mean. He beats me sometimes and he ... he..." She said, running her fingers through her hair frantically.

"What Haylee? Tell me." Gen said lacing their fingers together.

"He rapes me!" Haylee said, falling into Gens arms.

Gen sat still, she was unprepared for what she had just been told.

'How can it be?' She thought.

Haylee had always seemed so happy. She started to cry because she knew the pain her girlfriend felt. She stroked her hair and held her tight.

"Haylee, you have to tell my mom. She can help you." Gen said.

Haylee looked up at Gen and shook her head.

"I can't! I can never tell anyone! If I tell we'll lose everything! My mom can't know about this!" Haylee hissed.

"Hay, please. My mom does this for a living. I'll hold your hand and be by you the whole time, unless it's something you don't want me to hear." Gen said.

Haylee stared into Gen's eyes for long moments before biting her lip and nodding.

"Moooom! Can you come in here!" Gen called.

Olivia appeared in the doorway a moment later.

"What's going on?" Olivia asked.

"Is momma here?" Gen asked.

"She went out to get some stuff for the picnic, what's up?" Olivia said.

"You might wanna sit down..." Gen warned.

Olivia grabbed the chair from Gen's desk and pulled it up beside the bed.

Gen squeezed Haylee's hand, encouraging her to tell her story.

"I- I can't." Haylee whispered, as fresh tears flowed down her face.

"Can't what?" Olivia asked.

Olivia instantly went into mama lion mode. Something was wrong with Haylee.

"Do you want me to tell her?" Gen asked.

Haylee nodded.

"Mom she's being abused." Gen said.

"How?" Olivia asked.

She looked at Haylee who kept her head down.

"Haylee, Gen told you what I do for a living right? If someone's hurting you, you can tell me and I can help you..." Olivia said, softly.

Haylee nodded but still wouldn't look at Olivia.

Olivia noticed a blush creeping up the latino's neck.

"You don't have to be embarrassed. I'm not going to judge you." Olivia tried again, reaching out for the girls free hand.

"Hay, please tell my mom, you will feel better. You can be safe again." Gen said.

Haylee looked up and met Olivia's eyes as fat, hot tears spilled down her cheeks.

"It took a longtime to admit it was happening..." Haylee began. "I knew he wasn't my dad but he had been the only father I had ever known. The night of my thirteenth birthday he came into my room and said he was there to collect. He got into bed with me and..." Her lips began to quiver and her voice became thick, she shook her head.

Olivia squeezed her hand.

"Haylee... Did your father rape you?" Olivia asked.

Haylee nodded.

"This has been going on all year?" Olivia asked.

"Yes.." She answered shakily.

"I can't call this in because I'm involved with my unit's ADA so I'm going to have to call in another detective, sweetheart. We'll get him don't worry." Olivia said, getting up and calling the station.

Gen kissed her girlfriends cheek and held her tight.

"See? I told you my mom would help you. She's not going to let him touch you ever again" Gen said.


Alex, Olivia, Gen and Haylee finally got to have that picnic in the park. Alex and Olivia watched Haylee with concern after revealing such a painful secret.

"Do you think it's a good idea we let them be together?" Olivia asked worriedly.

"Liv what could be better?" Alex asked. "Two broken people have found each other. Maybe they are what the other needs to heal. We'll be there for both of them." She said, sipping her coke.

Olivia leaned over and captured the blondes lips and sighed when she deepened the kiss, they broke apart when they felt cool liquid splashed onto them. They stared into the mischevious glance of their daughter and her accomplice.

Gen shrugged.

"We thought you guys needed to cool off." She grinned.

Alex and Olivia looked at each other before grabbing a bottle of water and soaking each of the girls.

After their water fight the four returned to the apartment dripping wet and happy.
