A Case of Mercy and Grace

by No Fate 1990

This story serves as a sequel for my story called "The Never-ending Sacrifice". In this story, Elliot juggles raising Brody (his and Olivia's son), Olivia (died in childbirth), Mercy (Olivia's birth daughter and his adopted daughter that died from Leukemia), and his own issues.
