"Thanks for keeping an eye on her Amanda." Olivia thanked the young detective.

"No problem. So did you talk to…" Amanda was unsure of how to start the conversation. Elliot had ended up going with Fin and Carisi to grab coffee for the women.

"Yes. I told Elliot." Olivia answered. "I appreciate you being discreet with the information by the way."

"Fin really didn't know?"

"No one knew. I didn't even tell Cragen about it when I transferred."

"You went through the whole pregnancy and adoption alone?"

"Yeah, there was a lot going on between Elliot and I at that time and between him and his wife."

"Well, you know we are all here for you now." Amanda smiled.

"Thank you Amanda, I appreciate it." Olivia rubbed Amanda's arm and went into Emily's room.

"Olivia." Emily smiled lightly as Olivia entered the room.

"Hi sweetheart, how are you doing?" Olivia sat in a chair beside the bed.

"I'm sore but alright. The other detectives told me about what happened to my mom and dad."

"I'm so sorry for your loss."

"I'm not really that sad. I mean I knew they weren't my real parents and my dad was always using something. I don't know why my mom stayed with him. I mean look where it got all of us. They're dead and I'm…" Emily stopped for a second. "Alone."

"You are not alone. I promise you that."

"Are you ok?" Emily changed the subject. "I mean, with what happened in the shed?"

"I am. But you don't have to worry about me."

"But I mean...I didn't mean to look but…"

"You saw my scars?"

"Yeah…" Emily was reluctant but asked anyways. "Were you actually attacked? Like Ricky said?"

"Yes. About 2 years ago. I was abducted for 4 days. He tortured me a lot. Burned me with just about anything he got his hands on." Olivia solemnly replied.

"But did he...have sex with you?"

"Did Ricky have sex with you?" Olivia diverted the question. Emily just stared at her. "I know you didn't let the nurse do an exam on you."

"I don't want anyone to touch me. I've heard about what they do in those exams. I don't want anyone to do that to me."

"Emily, did Ricky rape you?" Emily started to have tears in her eyes. "Honey, you can tell me."

"It wasn't just him." Emily admitted. "He let some of his friends do it too. They took turns."

"I'm so sorry." Olivia shifted to sitting on the bed beside Emily and wrapped an arm around her. Emily sobbed and clung to Olivia. "It's alright sweetheart, let it out. You're safe now. I'm right here." Olivia soothed, stroking Emily's hair. Elliot appeared in the doorway with a coffee in each hand. Olivia looked over towards him; Emily didn't notice.

"I'll come back." Elliot mouthed and Olivia nodded. He backed away and signaled for Fin to shut the door to give them more privacy.

"Do I have to do that exam?" Emily asked after she calmed down a little.

"It would be beneficial to be able to catch the other men who did this to you." Olivia wiped a tear off Emily's cheek. "But you don't have to do it if you really don't want to."

"Would you be able to stay? I don't think I can go through with it alone."

"Of course, I can be by your side, holding your hand the whole time. I won't go anywhere."

"Thank you Olivia." Olivia stood up.

"I'll go get the nurse and let her know you're ready and then I will be right back. Do you want me to have Amanda come back in while I'm gone?"

"No, I should be ok." Olivia gave a small smile and left the room. The tears she was trying to hold back, began to slowly fall. Elliot ran over.

"Is she ok? Are you ok? What's going on?" Elliot grabbed Olivia by both arms. She just leaned into him and he in turn wrapped his arms around her.

"She was gang raped El. He let his friends take turns on her. She's only 13."

"Hey, look at me." He moved her to look at him face to face. "We will get her through this."

"Can you grab a nurse and let them know Emily's ready to get the kit done? I don't want to leave her alone for too long." Olivia freed herself from his grip and wiped her tears.

"Yeah, I can do that." Elliot turned around and grabbed the coffee he got for her. "Can you please tell me or anyone else if this is getting too much for you and you need a minute?"

"Yeah." Olivia simply answered, took the coffee, and went back into Emily's room. "My friend is going to grab the nurse for us."

"You were crying." Emily observed. Olivia tried to wipe any stray tears away. "I triggered something for you, didn't I?"

"No. You didn't sweetheart."

"Do you always get emotional with the victims you deal with?"

"Sometimes, not always."

"So why me? I'm just a girl who was adopted into a messed up family that hid their secrets from the world. Why cry over me?"

"Well, there is a reason. I'm not sure how you would take it. I didn't want to talk to you about it until after you were done with the kit."

"I don't think there is anything else that you could drop on me that would make the past couple days any worse so just tell me please." Emily looked Olivia dead in the eyes. She was a very sensitive girl but she still was a feisty teenager at the same time.

"Ok um, I'm your mother. Your biological mother." Olivia admitted, never breaking eye contact.

"So Ricky was right? That's why we look so similar." Emily broke the eye contact and looked down.

"Yes, I gave you up for adoption because I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to give you the life that you should have. My career was, well is, so demanding."

"It's not because you didn't want me? I always wondered if my parents gave me up because they didn't want me."

"Of course I wanted you, I had wanted to have children for a long time. It was just a very complicated situation at the time. I never stopped loving you. Giving you up was the hardest thing I have ever done in my entire life." The nurse knocked on the door.

"Hi, Emily. My name is Tracy, I'm a SANE nurse here at the hospital and I'll be performing your rape kit today. Is that alright?" The nurse introduced.

"Yes." Emily answered. "My mom is allowed to stay with me right?"

"Of course she is." The nurse replied. Emily reached out for Olivia's hand. Olivia was in shock at how quickly Emily had referred to her as her mother. "I'll be as quick as I possibly can. I know this will be difficult and we can take as many breaks as you need. If there is something you don't want to do, just tell me or your mom and we won't do it. Alright?"

"Ok." Emily replied. She squeezed Olivia's hand as Tracy began to ask questions about her assault and previous sexual history.
