Walking into the bullpen I was met with the sound of ringing phones, doors opening and closing, cops talking; and the usual hustle and bustle of my job. Elliot's desk was empty, his jacket, and keys gone. Cragon's office door shut, and I could see him sitting in his chair talking on the phone. With a sigh I walked over and sat at my desk to wait for Elliot to come back. "Hi we didn't get a chance to meet yesterday, I'm Amanda." Rollins introduced herself holding her hand out. "Olivia." I automatically reply as I shake her hand. "Sorry but Stabler's not here today, he got a phone call and went home." Rollins explained as she leaned against my desk. "When did he leave?" I ask worried. "About an hour ago, someone named Kathleen called him." Rollins stated with a shrug of her shoulders. "Thanks for telling me, I should probably head out before Cragon sees me here." I say as I start to gather my things only to see Rollins look behind me. "Liv I thought I told you that I didn't want to see you in here until Monday?" Cragon asked rhetorically. I slowly turned around in my chair only to come face to face with Cragon as he folded his arms across his chest, and before I could even open my mouth to respond he held up his hand keeping me quiet. "My office now." Was all he said as he turned and walked to his door.

"You wanted to talk?" I ask as Cragon shut his office door behind me. "What are we going to do?" Cragon asked as he sat behind his desk. "What are we going to do about what?" I ask confused while stepping forward. "About us. Do we act like usual, or do we actually admit that you are my daughter?" Cragon stated throwing a pen down on his desk. "Legally you are my father, but we both love our job to much to say anything and risk one of us being transferred. Maybe we just start with getting to know each other a bit better, and see ware it goes?" I state questionably as I put my head in my hands. "Get to know each other, I understand; could I meet my grandchild at least?" Cragon said with a big smile. "I don't know, you would need to call her and ask." I say thoughtfully as I saw Cragon nodding his head. "I told her about you this morning, when I went and saw her. She's so excited, she has a grandpa; you should have see her face, she had the biggest smile and her eye latterly lit up." I chuckle shaking my head. Cragon and I sit there in silence for a while, when suddenly I remember why I even came to work today. "I should go, I need to talk to Elliot and explain everything to him." I announce as I stand from the chair and only hesitating a moment before I quickly hug Cragon and leave.

Summing up all my courage I stood to my full height, set my shoulders, and knocked on the door. After a moment I heard the locks turn, and Kathleen opened the door as she talked on the phone. "Hi Liv, what brings you here today?" She asked as she let me into the entryway. "I came to talk to your dad, is he around?" I asked hesitantly. "He's in the kitchen fighting the disposal again." Kathleen said with a giggle as she took my hand and dragged me with her. "We really need to get this thing replaced, I'm tired of fixing it!" El said as Kathleen pulled me into the kitchen only to find Elliot still starring into the sink. "Daddy, look who's here!" Kathleen squealed letting go of my hand and ran over to El. "Could we talk for a moment?" I ask putting my hands in my pockets. "Kathleen sweetie why don't you go play with your siblings in the back yard." El said as he wiped his hands of on the red hand towel hanging of the stove. "I need to explain some things, but first I'm going to need to ask you a question." I say looking El in the eyes as we heard the back door shut behind Kathleen. "Why don't we talk in the living room?" El asks starring right back into my eyes. For a few moments there is nothing but an awkward silence between us as I try to get the courage up to have this talk with El. "Do you remember the BBQ right before Kathy told you about the twins?" I ask nervously. "Somewhat." Was all El said as he sat in the recliner in front of me with his arms crossed. "What is it you do remember, and please don't leave everything out." I ask as I scratched at my neck. "Mostly all I remember is drinking a lot, meeting a beautiful women, and waking in a broom closet in my underwear alone." El stated glaring at me. "Well you see, um, that women you met...was me. We talked that whole day, you told me about the pending divorce between you and Kathy, and I told you how I had just recently broke-up with my collage boyfriend We drank to much and ended up sleeping together in the broom closet." I confess trying to look El in the eye. "Why didn't you say anything?" El asked starting to get pissed as he shifted in his seat. "Because when we woke up I didn't think anything had happened between us, but two months later the stick turned blue, and by that time you were back with Kathy and expecting the twins. I just didn't know what to do after that." I explain as my face flushed and my eyes dropped to my lap out of shame. For a few minutes we sat there in an uncomfortable silence, the only sound was that of the clock ticking, and the kids outside. "Look as hard as it is for me to say this I understand why you did what you did, at the time you thought it was the best option...but know this you have lost my trust in you and I haven't forgiven you yet." El said sternly as we locked eyes. "I understand El, and just so you know I'll do anything to get your trust back, anything." I said as tears burned my eyes. "Anything?" El clarified with an evil smile. "Yes?" I said nervously. "Then you are going to sit down with me and Kathy, and you will tell my wife about our daughter." El said as he stood up from the recliner.
