Olivia opens the door shocked to see Amanda and Scottlynn

"Look who I found at the party." Amanda stated


"Scottlynn!" Olivia announced

"Hi mommy" Scottlynn giggled because she is tipsy and high

Olivia took a breath,"I thought you went to your friend's house?"

"Party at friend house." Scottlynn stated as she tried to step away from Amanda and into the house. She lost her balance and almost fell, but Olivia caught her.

Olivia sighed softly, "You're drunk." Then she looked up at Amanda, "Thanks for bringing her home."

"You're welcome." Amanda replied before walking away from the house.

Inside the house with Olivia and Scottlynn.

"Let's get you to bed. We'll talk about how much trouble you're in in the morning." Olivia explained

Scottlynn whined "Mommy, stop yelling. My head hurts."

"I'm not yelling, baby." Olivia told her daughter "You're just drunk."

Scottlynn slurred, "N..Not drrrrrunk."

"Of course you're not." Olivia stated sarcastically as she tucked Scottlynn into bed.

Olivia took Scottlynn to her (Olivia's room) and Olivia was going to sleep in Scottlynn's room with Finley.

Olivia kissed Scottlynn's forehead, "Goodnight baby. Rest up and I know you probably won't remember this in the morning, but you're in so much trouble."

"Kay mommy." Scottlynn giggled "Night night."

Then next morning when Scottlynn wakes up. She turns over to lay on her back, holds her head, squints her eyes, and groans.

"Ouch." Scottlynn groaned as she rubs the temples of her head "Why does my head hurt?" Then she sat up abruptly, "Finley!"

Scottlynn crawled out of bed and walked out to the living room, "Mom, where's Finley?"

"Oh good. You're awake. Now we can talk." Olivia said

"Finley. Where is he?! Where's my son?" Scottlynn demanded

Olivia placed her hands on Scottlynn's shoulders and looked directly into her eyes, "Calm down, sweetheart. He's with Amanda for the day, so you and I can talk."

Scottlynn nodded, "Yeah I've been meaning to ask you why does my head hurt?"

"From your hangover. Amanda returned you home from a party that she and my detectives raided. You were drunk." Olivia explained

Scottlynn sighed softly, "Of course."

"Go sit on the couch." Olivia instructed "I'll bring you a glass of water and some advil for your headache and then we can talk."

"Okay. And I'm sorry, mom." Scottlynn apologized before sitting down on the couch.

A few moments later, Olivia returned to the couch with a glass of water and two advil, "Alright let's talk. Where did you go when you left last night?"

Scottlynn took the glass of water and the advil. She swallowed the two pills with a big gulp of water before saying, "To Aspen's house. She's my friend."

"Where did you meet Aspen?" Olivia wondered

Scottlynn took a breath, "At the park the other day. The day that I took off from mommy duties."

Olivia gave a nod, "Alright what did you do at the party?"

"Danced." Scottlynn replied simply

"Scottlynn." Olivia said sternly

Scottlynn sighed, "Okay. Okay. There was beer, rum, and bongs at the party. And before you lecture me I know I shouldn't have been drinking or smoking and FYI I didn't get as drunk or high as everyone at the party."

"Why did you drink at all if you knew you shouldn't? Why didn't you call me or Amanda? Or just simply leave the party?" Olivia questioned

Scottlynn shrugged, "I don't know. I just I've never done anything crazy or bad in my entire life. I just want to do something and have fun. And I wanted to forget everything, even if for just one night."

"What do you mean by everything?" Olivia wondered

Scottlynn shrugged again, "Everything I've been through." Then she took a breath, "I just figured that after everything I did to protect Mollie growing up, I deserved just one night to forget all that. To forget the life I've lived and all the horrible things I've been through."

Olivia nodded, "Okay. I understand that, but you still made some very poor choices and for that there are consequences. So you are grounded. You're grounded..."

"What?!" Scottlynn interrupted as she shouted exasperated "You can't ground me!"

"Oh yes I can." Olivia said very seriously "You're grounded for three weeks. And while you are grounded you may not have your phone or see Mollie and Kevin, who I know you are still seeing."

"If you ground me from Kevin, you're basically grounding Finn too. That's his father." Scottlynn argued "And you can't take my phone away. How will you contact me?"

Olivia took a breath and thought for a moment, "Okay you can take Finn to see Kevin for two hours a day, but I will drop you off and pick you up. And you won't need your phone because you will be with me at all times."

"You can't do this to me!" Scottlynn yelled "I'm not one of your prisoners! And you're not my mom!"

Olivia looked Scottlynn in the eyes, "I'm in charge of you and it's my responsibility to make sure you grow up to be a good person."

Scottlynn scrunched her nose angrily, "No it's not. I don't need you! And I don't need a mom. I'm a mother and I can do whatever I want!"

"You may be a mother, Scottlynn, but you are not an adult." Olivia explained sternly "Nobody ever cared enough about you to teach you right from wrong, but I do. I'm going to be that person. That's why I'm grounding you. I want you to be a better person."

"You're wrong!" Scottlynn shouted "Papa cared and still cares about me. He taught me right from wrong. Not that he really needed to anyway, because I taught Mollie right from wrong even before we knew him. I raised her and she is wonderful person. She's sweet and caring and loving. And I made sure she was that way! I did everything for her. To make MY parents proud of ME and to raise Mollie to be the person that THEY would have wanted her to be."

Olivia sighed softly, "I know that. And I understand..."

"No you don't!" Scottlynn interrupted "I hate you and I will NEVER call you mom EVER AGAIN!" Then Scottlynn ran into her room and slammed the door.

Olivia sighed softly and brought her hand to her forehead as she ran her hand through her hair.
