A few weeks later,
Deandre ended up dead, so that was a good thing for Amanda and Aniyah.
For that entire week, Aniyah did not want to leave her mom at all. Aniyah has been sleeping with mom every night.
But once Aniyah found out that her father was dead she did not have to be worried about something taking her away from her mom or hurting her mom anymore, but she was still a little worried but she could sleep in her own bed and go to school.
Amanda could not return to work for another two weeks.
Present time
Today Jesse, Billie, and Aniyah were spending the night at Olivia's place while Amanda and Carisi had the night alone. This would be the first time Aniyah would be away from her mother for over eight hours. Olivia was worried about how Aniyah would do tonight, but Aniyah said that she would be just fine. And also Amanda said that if Aniyah freaking out to just call her anytime at night.
Olivia Benson household
Olivia is cooking dinner while Jesse, Billie, and Noah watch TV and Aniyah works on her homework for the weekend.
30 minutes after dinner
Everyone got ready for bed.
Jesse and Billie were going to sleep in Noah's room, and Aniyah would sleep in the guest room.
Once the little one was asleep, Olivia checked on Aniyah to see if she was asleep.
She knocked on the bedroom and waited for an answer. When she did not get an answer, she slowly opened the door and saw that Aniyah was fast asleep.
After she checked on Aniyah, Olivia walked into her room and got ready for bed herself.
A few minutes later, Olivia checks on Aniyah in the guest room.
Once Olivia left the room, Aniyah jumped out of bed. She was afraid to fall asleep. She knew her mom was safe, and that she was safe, but it was just hard for her to leave her mom.
So Aniyah just grabbed her laptop and started working on something for her gang. She was not planning on not going to sleep soon.
A few hours later,
It was now 1 in the morning and Aniyah still had not fallen asleep, but when she tried to sleep, she woke up from a nightmare, so she decided just to stay up till morning.
Olivia had gotten up to check on the kids.
When Aniyah heard Olivia opening the bedroom door, she faked sleeping because she did not know Olivia was worried about her.
After Olivia looked in the room and closed the door, Aniyah went back to what she was doing.
One hour later,
I woke Olivia up with a scream coming from the guest room. Olivia jumps up out of bed and runs into the guest room.
"Stop! Please Stop! You are hurting mommy!" Aniyah screamed
Olivia ran over to the bedside.
"Aniyah. Aniyah wakes up!" Olivia said as she started shaking Aniyah's shoulder.
"No, Daddy, please stop!" Aniyah screamed again.
"Baby girl, it's just a nightmare, it's okay." Olivia said.
A few seconds later
Aniyah slowly opened her eyes and saw Olivia on one side. Aniyah started looking around and saw that she was with her father. She started crying.
"Sh, it's okay, it was only a dream." Olivia said as Aniyah moved a little closer to her.
Olivia pulled Aniyah into her lap and wrapped her arms around Aniyah.
"Do you want to talk about it, baby girl?" Olivia asked
Aniyah shocked her head no.
"It'll help." Amanda said.
"It's a long story." Aniyah said.
"We have time." Olivia said as she looked down at Aniyah.
"Okay." Aniyah said,
"Okay." Olivia said
"My dad was in the military, so he was gone a lot, but when he came home, he was a nice person. I had PTSD, which did not make it easy for me and my mom. He was metal and physical abusive to me and my mom. But whenever my mom was at work, my dad would pick me up from school and take me to places and say that it was father and daughter's day. But when mom found out she was pissed, one day, they started yelling whenever they would fight. Dad would leave and take me with him, even when I did not want to go with them. But one day when I was 4 years old mom, and him were fighting, but this time it was super mad. I was in my room for most of it until I heard a loud crash. I walked out of my room and saw dad throw and hit mom. I started yelling ´stop you hurting her´ and stuff like that, but he did not stop. When he was finally done, mom was unconscious and there was blood everywhere around her. I ran over to her but dad picked me up and said that we were leaving. I did not want to leave mom, but he was really mean, so I had to listen. When we left, I never saw my mom for an entire month and when I did finally see her, she was in the hospital. After that day for a year, I did not want to leave my side. A year after we moved to New York, I was doing so much better with separation anxiety. Until now, mom, since my father came back into the picture. Like I know he is dead but I still have that feeling that if I leave my mom, I won't see her again." Aniyah said.
"I'm sorry that happened, but Aniyah, no one is going to take you away from your mother. No one. I can promise you that." Olivia said
"I know." Aniyah said,
"Okay, how about we get some sleep? I can stay in here until you fall asleep." Olivia said.
"Okay, Goodnight Olivia." Aniyah said as she closed her eyes.
"Goodnight baby girl." Olivia said.
Morning time
Today Amanda and Carisi were picking up the girls, and Lucy was picking up Noah, too.
When Olivia woke up, she was glad to see that Aniyah was still asleep. So she slowly got up and walked out of the room to check on Jesse, Billie, and Noah. It surprised her to see that they were up.
"Yall up early." Olivia said,
"Yeah, because we are hungry." Jesse said,
"Okay, how about yall get ready but be quiet because Aniyah is still sleeping. Then once we are dressed, then we can make breakfast." Olivia said,
"Okay." Noah said
Once Jesse, Billie, Noah, and Olivia were dressed, they started making breakfast.
They are making pancakes, Scrambled Eggs, Sausage Links, Fresh Berries, and Maple Syrup.
After they ate breakfast, Jesse, Billie, and Noah went to watch TV while Olivi went to wake up Aniyah.
"Aniyah, it's time to wake up, sweetheart." Olivia said, as Aniyah slowly opened her eyes.
"Well, good morning sleepyhead." Olivia said.
"Morning." Aniyah said,
"Breakfast is ready if you want some." Olivia said,
"Okay." Aniyah said as she got out of bed.
"Okay." Olivia said as she walked out of the room.
One hour later,
Lucy had just picked up Noah.
Everyone was in the living room watching a movie when there was a knock on the door.
When Olivia opened the door, it did not surprise her to see Amanda and Carisi standing on the other side.
"Mommy!" Jesse and Billie said as they ran over to their mom and gave her a big hug.
"Hey baby girls. Did y'all have fun?" Amanda asked.
"It was fun." Jesse said
"That's great." Amanda said as she looked over at her daughter
"Did you have fun Aniyah?" Amanda asked
"Yeah." Aniyah lied
Amanda and Carisi know she was lying.
"Okay. How about yall go wait outside with Carisi." Amanda said as they walked out of the apartment with Carisi.
"Thanks for watching them, Olivia." Amanda said,
"No problem." Olivia said.
"Was everything okay with Aniyah?" Amanda asked, knowing that Olivia was hiding something from her.
"Yeah." Olivia said
"Okay, Liv, what aren't you not telling me?" Amanda asked
"Well, Aniyah could not sleep last night so we talked about her father and what he did." Olivia said,
"What did she tell you?" Amanda asked
"That he was metal and physically abusive. You end up in the hospital because of him and he took Aniyah away from you for an entire month." Olivia said,
"That's the truth. I don't really want to talk about it and since Aniyah talk about it then you know what happens." Amanda said.
"Okay, I understand you don't want to talk about it, but if you ever want to talk about it, then you know where to find me." Olivia said,
"Thanks Liv." Amanda said
"You are welcome." Olivia said as she watched her daughter walk out of the apartment.
A/N: There is only one more chapter left. I decided I would write one more chapter than maybe write a sequel to this story after the next chapter, but what do y'all think? Should I write a sequel or not?
