"This cannot be happening." Olivia breathed as she sat down on her desk.

"Wait, does this mean I'm no longer from a broken home?" Gemma asked, raising her hand as she remained sitting on the couch.

Elliot held up his hand, silencing her. "Let's not use sarcasm right now." He turned his attention to Olivia. "Liv, you okay?"

"No, I'm not okay." Olivia stated calmly before running a hand down her face. She looked between Fin and Gemma. "Could you take her while we talk, please? Just keep her away from the coffee."

Fin frowned. "She wouldn't like it anyway." He looked over at Gemma. "C'mon, I've got lots of questions, and apparently you are the one to ask." He rested his hand on her back when she stood up. They started for the door. "Have you seen them sneaking into each other's rooms?"

Olivia's eyes widened. "Fin!"

"Sorry." Fin mumbled over his shoulder, making Gemma chuckle. He opened the door before resuming his conversation. "Well?"

Before Olivia could reprimand him again, the door closed, leaving her and Elliot in her office alone. She refused to look at him. One look and she would cave. She wasn't sure what she would cave to, but she knew that it would only send them spiraling on their path again instead of handling it like adults, like parents. "What the hell was that?"

Elliot frowned and shrugged his shoulders. "The truth, Liv. I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it."

"So, that's how you decide to tell me you love me. By shouting it at Fin in front of our daughter who barely knows us?" Olivia questioned, shaking her head. "You can't say those things and expect everything to be okay."

Elliot scoffed. "I don't know if you've noticed, but we never do anything the easy way. Even when we were partners, well into our careers together, our simplest decisions weren't easy. We're both pigheaded, stubborn, strong to our beliefs." He shoved his hands into his pockets. "I've spent nearly two decades loving you, and it hasn't been easy. I've had to watch you go out with guys who never stood a chance with you. Some of them scared off way too easy."

"I wonder who scared them off." Olivia smirked before finally looking up at him. Those damn blue eyes of his. "It wasn't easy watching you go home to Kathy."

"Is that your way of saying your feelings are the same?" Elliot asked.

Olivia closed her eyes. "I don't know exactly what my feelings are. I've always had to shove them aside because you were with Kathy. When you left, I was just left with anger. I haven't even fully processed the fact that you are here." She ran a hand through her hair, looking out to find Fin and Amanda talking to Gemma. "I just know that whatever my feelings are towards you, they won't be acted on until we figure out what's best for our girl."

Elliot nodded his head. "I completely agree." He followed her gaze, smirking when he saw Gemma beating Fin at some hand game. "She's warming up to us, though. I can see it. She may not like it, but she is."

"Well, she couldn't really have hated us anymore after telling her we gave her up to keep our affair a secret." Olivia replied, crossing her arms over her chest. "We broke up her relationship, told her that her boyfriend was a sex trafficker. I'm surprised we found her. She could've escaped to Canada if she really wanted to."

Elliot looked back at her, shrugging his shoulders. "Like I said, we never do things the easy way."


"That is so cool!" Gemma grinned as she looked through Fin's computer. "So, you can just look up anybody and you know what they've done?"

"I'll know if they urinated in Central Park." Fin nodded his head. He frowned when she typed in her own name, a rap sheet coming up with numerous charges. "What have you been up to?"

Gemma stared back at her mug shots, seeing the list of charges and details on what she did. "A lot of things I'd rather forget." She looked up when Elliot and Olivia walked out of her office. "So, will I still be a bastard child?"

Elliot fake chuckled. "You'll be that whether we get hitched or not."

"No, we're not getting together. There are other things that require our full attention right now." Olivia stated, pointing to Gemma.

"Me? What did I do?" Gemma asked with a frown.

Fin continued to read the computer, squinting as he tried to look around the teenager. "According to this, prostitution and soliciting money." He continued to read, despite Gemma's hand trying to block the screen.

Olivia sighed. "I've already see your rap sheet, Gemma."

"Hey, that's intrusive." Gemma said, protesting against her mother's actions.

Olivia cocked an eyebrow with a smirk. "I spent nearly three hours pushing you out of my body. That was intrusive." She turned the monitor off on Fin's computer, preventing him from reading the rest of the rap sheet. "We need to talk though about the case at hand. Like we said this morning, Danny was our main suspect and now we know his only connection to sex trafficking was through you."

"I'm well aware." Gemma sighed before standing up, slapping Fin's hand when he reached out to turn his monitor back on. "Respect a woman's privacy. You're like a peeping tom when it comes to rap sheets."

"Hey, I might find something for the case." Fin said, his smirk victorious as he turned his monitor on, facing Gemma's mug shot photos once again. "I'll let you know if I find anything pertaining to the case."

Amanda walked over, a stack of files in her hands. She pushed passed Olivia to sit down at her desk, ignoring Elliot and Olivia's presence behind her. "I hope he didn't bug you too much while I was gone." She said, looking up at Gemma.

"He's not a problem. I've dealt with worse." Gemma said with a roll of her eyes. She turned back to her parents. "So, you said you wanted to ask me about the case? Are we going to the interrogation rooms?"

"Conference room." Olivia said, pointing towards the room off of her office. She watched as Elliot and Gemma headed towards the room, Elliot poking her sides playfully along the way. Before she followed them, she turned to Amanda. "Are you okay?"

Amanda continued to write in the files in front of her. "I'm fine."

Olivia glanced at Fin, seeing his knowing look. "Is this about Gemma?"

Amanda shrugged once. "None of my business." She stood up with a paper and looked at Fin. "I have to make a copy of this and then we have that victim waiting at Mercy for us."

"Right." Fin nodded before watching her walk away. He looked back at Olivia. "We have a right to be mad."

"You weren't there. I never lied to you." Olivia reminded him. "You don't get to be mad I decided to keep this private. It was hard enough going through it. I didn't need to relive it telling you when I never told anyone. There were only four people in the world that knew she was ours, and all four of them happen to be her parents in same way shape or form."

Fin shook his head. "We're your friends, Liv?"

"And, he was my best friend, Fin." Olivia snapped back, her tone sharp. "We spent twelve years as partners together, and we tried to avoid the topic as much as possible. It was too painful. So, excuse me if I didn't tell you that I gave up a daughter after carrying her for nine months and raising her for nearly two before giving her up to a couple who moved across the country. I didn't know that information was imperative to know in our friendship." She walked around Fin, headed to the conference room.

"Liv?" Fin called. She stopped and turned to him, her jaw somewhat clenched. "You didn't have to tell me the whole story. But, being your friend for almost nineteen years, I figured we were close enough to tell me that you at least had a kid out there."

Olivia scoffed. "You nearly ripped my head off for trying to help your kid, and you hated the father of my child. Telling you wasn't exactly on my to do list." Before he could defend himself, Olivia entered the conference room, slamming the door shut behind her.
