You guys rock...my reviewers that it. Yes, I realize that waiting for a certain number of reviews isn't necessarily a nice thing to do, but I felt that some reviewers needed special incentive.
-But anyway...I got my hundred reviews, so here's the next chapter.
-Also, be sure to check out my other fic,Olivia's Thoughts. It's nothing major, just a collection of poems written by Olivia at various points in her life.

Thanks guys,
Much love from SVU Chicky

Mackenzie was lying on her oversized, queen bed cuddling her sleeping puppy. Since she'd been weaned, Lexie, as Mackenzie had named in honor of her mother, had been her best friend. She may have only been seven weeks old, but she was a damn good listener.

Olivia entered the room. "Kenzie we need to talk about this."

"So talk."

She took the chair next to the bookcase and moved it to the side of Mackenzie's bed. After a few moments of thinking, she began. "Mackenzie, this is in no way my idea. A few days ago, I met agent Hammond again and…he…w…well…" She fumbled with her words a bit, not knowing how much to tell the young teen. Mackenzie is, however, the daughter of the woman who is at the center of all this secrecy.

Olivia looked up and into her daughter's eyes. What she saw was exactly what she had seen earlier.

Anger. Sadness. Confusion. And a total sense of abandonment. So much had happened to this girl in the past six months. Her eyes didn't show half of what she was thinking and feeling right now. But then Olivia was something hiding behind the anger and confusion.

Trust. Mackenzie had never had a positive adult figure in her life that she could really trust. Olivia didn't want to be just another untrustworthy adult in her life. So, she decided to tell her the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help her God.

Olivia moved from the chair to the bed. Mackenzie tried to move away, but Olivia wouldn't let her. "You want to hear this?" Once Mackenzie stopped, she began. "I met with agent Hammond again two days ago. We discussed recent changed in both your and Alex's cases. The FBI feels that your life is in danger because of your connection to Alex and because of the people who kidnapped you. As soon as the trial is over, you will be joining Alex in the program and you'll both be relocated."

She purposely didn't tell her of Alex coming back, but since the risk was too great having them both in the same place at the same time, she wouldn't get to see her mother when she was back anyway. So Olivia didn't feel the need to tell her.

Mackenzie nodded and took in all the information. "Do you want me to go?"

"Oh no sweetie, of course I don't." She took Mackenzie is a big hug. "Not at all…But your mother does." Mackenzie looked up at her questionably. "And I know that you want to be with her too."

"I do, but…it's just the whole Witness Protection thing. A new name, a new history, new home and new relatives and people to know. And not to mention that we'll be away from you, everyone at SVU and New York. What if I slip up or forget something?"

"You won't." Olivia reassured her. "You're like acting and memorizing lines. Just pretend that your new life is a script." She wiped a stray tear from Mackenzie's cheek.

"It's not that simple."

"No, its not." Olivia admitted. "But you'll be okay. You'll be with your mother and she'll help you." They'll be fine. She knew it would be hard, but they'd make it through. Alex Cabot wouldn't have it any other way.

"But enough of that now. I have the next twelve days off, so we have twelve days to do anything you want."

A wicked smile spread across Mackenzie's face. "Anything?"
