6: 15 PM
"We have to stop by Haley's school to pick her up," Olivia said looking at Elliot as they were driving away from the precinct to go home.
"I thought Jeff was going to pick her up" Elliot replied as he looked at her and then back at the road.
"He got stuck at work and Sarah said she didn't mind watching her since she is in her class and Haley has toys and stuff in the room to keep her occupied until one of us picks her up" Olivia said as she rested her head on the headrest.
"Ok, sure," Elliot replied as he started driving toward Haley's school. He looked at the clock in his car. "It's only 6 in the evening and its already dark"
"I know. Its already October, and its cold like its December." Olivia said as shivered her body as if it got colder when she mentioned it.
"Your so weird" Elliot said smiling.
"Why?" Olivia asked smiling looking over at him.
"Every time you say its cold or it's hot you act as if the temperature suddenly changed," Elliot answered.
"It's just my way" Olivia said smiling and taking his hand. He just smiled and held her hand as they drove to Haley's school.
They got to the school and headed toward Haley's kindergarten room.
"Jeff and Sarah are serious huh?" Elliot asked as they walked down the hall holding hands.
"They've been dating for about 5 months now, so I think so" Olivia answered as they came by the room.
Both of them went in but no one was there.
"Sarah?" Olivia called out looking around. They heard someone groan behind the desk. Olivia and Elliot quickly ran to see who it was. Sarah was lying by the desk barely conscious and bleeding from the head.
"I'll get a bus," Elliot said as he pulled out his cell phone. Olivia kneeled down by Sarah.
"Honey where's Haley?" Olivia asked concern completely covering her voice.
"They took her," Sarah groaned with her eyes closed.
"Who took her?" Olivia asked as tears formed in her brown eyes.
"I tried to stop them," Sarah mumbled still being knocked out.
"Who did you try to stop? Sarah who took Haley?" Olivia tried again but knowing she was still unconscious from the obvious hit on her head.
"Olivia I'm sorry, I tried" Sarah mumbled.
"It's not your fault honey" Olivia whispered as she wiped a tear from her cheek.
"Paramedics are on their way" Elliot said coming back by the desk.
"Call Jeff" Olivia said looking up at him. Elliot looked at her "Call him now" Olivia repeated. Elliot nodded and flipped open his phone and walked away again.
7: 30 PM
Hospital
"He was really big, and he was bald," Sarah said as she sat in the doctor's office. Olivia and Elliot standing by the door. Jeff was standing next to Sarah and holding her hand.
"Did you ever see him before, like hanging around the school?" Elliot asked.
"No, first time I saw him." Sarah said as she started crying "I'm so sorry honey" She choked through the tears and hugged Jeff. Jeff wrapped his arms around her and held her.
"You got hit in the head, you did enough" Jeff whispered smiling. Sarah chuckled a little as she cried. Elliot and Olivia smirked and left the room.
"Are you ok?" Elliot asked as he closed the door behind him.
"I don't know, I...I…I don't know" Olivia said as she sat down on one of the chairs. Elliot sat down next to her and hugged her.
"We'll find her," He whispered. Olivia nodded and rested her head on his shoulder.

SVU Squad room
"I have been through every perp in the system, not one matching the description" John said as he took off his glasses and rubbed his face and put his glasses back.
"I checked all my former perps as well," Jeff said sitting at Olivia's desk on the computer.
"Fin and Elliot are at the school trying to find cameras or anything they can" Cragen told them as he went into his office.
"John enter a different color then green for the eyes," Jeff said as he took off his tie and threw it on the desk and started typing on the computer again.
"Why?" John asked looking at him.
"Contact lenses" Jeff answered. John nodded and started typing on the computer. "I had a perp once that switched colors every time he attacked someone" Jeff said as he started looking through the computer for his own perps.
"You guys got anything?" Olivia asked coming out of the bathroom.
"No, nothing yet, were trying to find other color of eyes other then green like Sarah said" John told her.
"Jeff your AD called and he wants you back to finish your case" Cragen said coming out of his office.
"Tell him to fuck off" Jeff said still typing on the computer intensely. Everyone looked at him "Or just tell him I can't and that I'm busy" Jeff said shrugging still focused on the computer. Focused on finding his daughter.
"Hey, we have a person by the school around 5 o'clock" Fin said coming in and carrying a tape, Elliot following him. Everyone looked up and got up from their seats to as Fin put the tape in a T.V.
"And re-wind" Fin said as he pressed the button. Everyone gathered around the T.V. watched.
"Who is she?" John asked looking at the women on the screen.
"Looks familiar" Olivia said looking at the screen.
"Oh wait its um…Billy something, it's his mom" Jeff said looking at the screen.
"Oh yea, Billy…Billy" Olivia repeated trying to find the last name in her head.
"Billy Jacob?" Jeff asked looking at her.
"No, that's the other kid" Olivia answered looking at him.
"Oh, I got it, Billy Anderson" Jeff suggested.
"Yes, that's it" Olivia said throwing her hands up in the air.
"Lets go wake her up" Jeff said and grabbed his blazer.
"It's almost midnight," Fin said looking at him.
"That's why I said were waking her up" Jeff said and headed toward the door. Olivia grabbed her jacket and followed.
12: 30 AM
Anderson Residence
"Were looking for Gloria Anderson" Olivia said when a man answered the door.
"Who's asking?" The man asked.
"Agent Michaels and Detective Benson" Jeff answered as he and Olivia flashed their badges.
"Jeez people its midnight, cant this wait?" The man asked in annoyance.
"No it can't. Is Gloria here?" Jeff asked crossing his arms on his chest.
"Yea, hold on" The man said as he moved away and closed the door.
"You think we interrupted their night?" Jeff asked smirking.
"Considering he was in his boxers and shirtless and annoyed, I think we did" Olivia answered smirking. The door opened again.
"Ms. Benson, Mr. Michaels, can I help you?" Gloria asked standing in the doorway only wearing a robe.
"Yea, what were you doing around the school today at 5, since the school closes at 2?" Jeff asked.
"Is that a crime?" Gloria asked raising an eyebrow at him.
"Look, were not trying to be rude, Haley is missing and were just trying to see if someone saw anything" Olivia said looking at the woman.
"Oh, I'm sorry, is she ok?" Gloria asked.
"We don't know, were trying to find her. Did you see anyone around there that you didn't recognize?"
"Yea, this man, he was pretty huge, he was bald, I never seen him before"
"Around what part did you see him at?" Jeff asked.
"The soccer field"
"Thanks" Jeff said as he wrote it down.
"No problem, do you need anything else?"
"Was there anyone else around?" Olivia asked.
"No, I was picking up Billy from tutoring when I saw him, that's about it"
"Ok thank you, goodnight" Olivia said
"Goodnight, I hope you find her" Gloria said as she went back into her apartment.
"Lets go to the school and find tapes of the soccer field" Jeff said running a hand threw his hair. Olivia nodded and followed him.
3: 18 AM
SVU Squad room
"Here's some coffee" Jeff said handing Olivia coffee and sitting down next to her as they watched security tapes.
"Thanks." Olivia said as she yawned.
"Where's Elliot?" Jeff asked as he took a sip of coffee.
"He went home to get a couple of hours of sleep since he has to wake up early to drive the kids to school" Olivia answered. "How's Sarah?"
"Good, I called her earlier, still in shock. But she's at her sisters so she should be fine there" Jeff answered as he grabbed another tape from a box with all their security tapes they had.
"You two are serious huh?"
"Yea" Jeff answered smirking.
"That's good. I'm happy for you" Olivia said smiling a little, she really meant it, she was happy that Jeff was finally really happy in the last 5 years.
"Thanks" Jeff said quietly as they watched the tapes together. Together trying to find their daughter.
7: 20AM
SVU squad room
"Morning" Cragen said as he entered the room.
Olivia and Jeff just put their hands up as in a wave but neither said anything and kept their eyes on the T.V.
Cragen could tell they were tired and they didn't sleep all night.
"Why don't you guys get a few hours in the crib?" Cragen suggested.
"Can't sleep" Olivia said as she took a sip of coffee.
"Same here" Jeff said as he sipped his own coffee.
"Morning" John said coming in. Jeff and Olivia replied the same way and kept watching the security footage.
One of the phones rang. Cragen was behind the two watching the tape so John just went to answer it.
"Munch" He answered "Haley honey, yea mom's right here" John said quickly, everyone turned around at the same time hearing her name, Olivia quickly got up and grabbed the phone.
"Honey its mom, where are you?" Olivia asked, Jeff got up and put it on speakerphone.
"…I don't know, I found a cell phone so I just dialed the number you told me to dial when I'm in trouble" Haley choked out through tears.
"Baby its dad, can you tell us what's around you?" Jeff asked standing by the phone and leaned on the desk with both hands.
"Daddy I'm scared" Haley cried.
"I know baby, but you need to talk to us, your being very brave, tell us what you see outside" Jeff said as he ran his hand through his hair.
"I can't see anything, its very dark but I hear the ocean…. AAAHH" Haley screamed and the phone went dead.
"Haley!" Jeff yelled picking up the phone. "Haley do you hear me?" He yelled. He grabbed the whole phone and threw it at the wall, shattering it to pieces.
Olivia flopped down on the chair and started crying. Cragen and John just looked at the ground and said nothing.
Jeff kneeled down and hugged Olivia and held her "We'll find her, I promise" He whispered stroking her hair. Olivia just nodded.
Jeff got up and sat on the computer and started typing. Everyone looked at him type extremely fast on the computer.
"What are you doing?" Olivia asked looking at him as she wiped her tears away.
"She said ocean so there cant be that many places where you can hide a little girl and the ocean is hearable." Jeff answered. "Got it" Jeff mumbled and printed out a paper. He pulled it out and grabbed his blazer and ran out the room. Olivia grabbed her jacket and ran after him.
10: 18 AM
Beachside
"It should be around here," Jeff said as he looked around the beach at the houses.
"Jeff, look" Olivia said pointing to a house that had boards against the windows. Both of them quickly ran to that house.
They pulled out there guns and started looking around the house. Both of them heard something they wish they never heard and never wanted to hear. Haley scream hysterically. It was one of those screams that break's you heart instantly.
Olivia kicked the door put it was sealed shut.
"Move out the way" Jeff said as he pulled her behind him "Haley if you're by the door, move away as far as possible" Jeff yelled as he put his gun up. They heard the scream again. Jeff shot at the door handle and kicked the door down.
"Oh my god Haley" Olivia yelled as she put her gun away and saw Haley tied up and bees crawling all over her. Olivia quickly cut the rope and took off Haley's shirt to get most of the bees off. The bees stinging her but she couldn't feel anything at that point. Just Haley's screams cutting through her.
Jeff took off his gun and badge and threw them on the ground and scooped Haley up into his arms and ran out of the house. Feeling the bees sting him but not caring at all at that point.
"Haley its me, its daddy, listen to my voice don't pay attention to anything, just listen to my voice baby" Jeff said as he ran down the pier as fast as he could. Haley kept crying and screaming. "Baby take a deep breath just like I thought you at the pool" Jeff said he reached the ocean. Haley took in a deep breath as she tried to stop crying.
Jeff ran as fast as he could and jumped into the water holding Haley as close as possible.
Olivia ran to the edge of the pier as Jeff came back up from the water holding Haley close to his chest.
"It's ok baby, its over" Jeff whispered as he stroked Haley's wet hair from her face.
"Is she ok?" Olivia asked watching Haley cry and hold Jeff around the neck.
"I'm cold" Haley whispered shivering, being in the cold water with only her pants.
"Liv get my blazer from the car" Jeff said as he pulled off his own shirt and wrapped it around Haley. Olivia nodded and ran to the their car.
"Can we get out of the water?" Haley asked.
"We have to make sure all the bees are off of you" Jeff answered as he held her closer and took off her jeans that had bees inside of them, leaving her only in her underwear. He wrapped his shirt around her more and held her closer to warm her up with his own body.
"A bus is on its way" Olivia said as she came back to the pier with Jeff's blazer in one hand.
"Ok, lets get her out of the water" Jeff said as he swam to the pier and held up Haley. Olivia took her and took off the Jeff's wet shirt from her and wrapped his dry blazer around her.
"Mommy it hurts" Haley said as she hugged Olivia.
"I know honey but your being very brave, I'm very proud of you" Olivia said as she hugged Haley to keep her warm. Jeff pulled himself out of the pier with only his pants on and shivering.
"What if they come back?" Haley asked as she started crying.
"No one is coming honey, mommy and daddy are here and nothing is going to happen now," Olivia said as she took off her jacket at put it over Jeff's back and hugged Haley again.
12:15 PM
"How she doing?" Elliot asked Olivia, watching Haley with a blanket around her sitting in the ambulance and a paramedic putting lotion on her bee stings.
"Scared, and hurting, but luckily she isn't allergic to bee stings like Jeff" Olivia said watching Jeff in the ambulance with a blanket around him getting shots.
"He took a big risk doing that. How you holding up?" Elliot asked as he took her in a hug.
"I'm ok now that Haley is safe and I asked her if she got raped, she said no, that they just tied her up" Olivia said resting her head on his chest.
"Mommy!" Haley yelled out from the ambulance.
"I'll be right back," Olivia said as she let go of Elliot
"I'm going to see if CSU has anything." Elliot said letting go of Olivia. Olivia nodded and went over to the ambulance.
"Yea honey?" Olivia asked as she sat down next to Haley.
"My stings wont get like daddy's will they?" Haley asked, Olivia turned around and looked at Jeff's arm that was swollen and really red.
"No, I'm allergic to them and your not, yours will just be pink and will hurt for a while…" Jeff said but started gagging and ran out of the ambulance and threw up by the side of the truck.
"That's an allergic reaction to the sting," Paramedic said as he got a water bottle and came out of the ambulance and handed it to Jeff.
"Daddy are you ok?" Haley asked.
"I'm fine baby," Jeff answered as he drank the water and leaned on the truck.
"Maybe you should go home and get some rest," Olivia suggested placing a hand on his shoulder.
"No, I'm fine" Jeff said as he sat in the ambulance next to Haley as the paramedic put lotion on her.
"I want to go home," Haley said as she took Jeff's hand.
"Ok honey I'll take you home" Jeff said stroking her hair.
"I want to go to your house and mommy to spend the night with us" Haley said taking Olivia's hand with her other hand. Jeff and Olivia looked at each other the same time.
"Honey, you can spend the night with Daddy but mommy should sleep at our house" Olivia said kneeling down by Haley and holding her hand.
"No. I want both of you with me!" Haley said as she started crying and hugged Olivia.
"Don't cry sweetheart, daddy will be with you all night and mommy will stop by in the morning" Olivia said rubbing her back gently.
"NO!" Haley yelled through tears and turned and hugged Jeff. "Why did you two have to get divorced, I hate it" she cried even harder and held on to Jeff. Jeff and Olivia looked at each other and it broke their hearts to see her cry.
"Ok baby, I'll spend the night, don't worry" Olivia said as she stroked her hair gently.
"I just want to be with both of you, cause I'm scared," Haley said through tears.
"We know honey, we know" Jeff whispered as he rocked her back and forth to calm her down.
"Mommy will be right back," Olivia said kissing Haley on the head as she slowly stopped crying and buried her face into Jeff's chest and just let out a small nod. Olivia looked at Jeff who just nodded as he held Haley. Olivia nodded and went toward Elliot who was talking to John.
"How she doing?" John asked.
"Better,thanks. You mind if I talk to El for a second?" Olivia asked.
"Of course" John said nodding and walked away.
"What's wrong?" Elliot asked looking at her.
"Haley wants me to spend the night at Jeff's house with them" Olivia said running a hand through her hair.
"Ok, that's not a problem" Elliot said nodding
"I know I just wanted to let you know, cause I don't want you to feel weird about me spending the night in the same house as him"
"Haley needs both of you after this, I completely understand" Elliot assured her and kissed her on the forehead gently.
"Thanks. Did they find anything?" Olivia asked looking around the house.
"Well…um…Captain said that you shouldn't work on this case cause its way to personal" Elliot said looking at the ground.
"What? I need to work on this case…"
"Honey maybe its better if you don't" Elliot interrupted her, she just looked at him "I don't want you to get hurt by things that we find so its better if you take a couple of days off and spend them with Haley"
"What kind of things did you find?" Olivia questioned suspiciously, those words calling out to her.
"Nothing" Elliot said and walked away. Olivia quickly followed.
"Elliot stop" She said in a low voice and got in front of him. "What kind of things?" She asked.
He just looked at ground and bit his lip and finally looked up "The bee thing, that wasn't by accident, the hive was brought in intentionally and the bees were mad angry before putting it on Haley" He answered quietly.
"How…how do you know?" Olivia asked as tears filled her eyes. She hated that Cragen was right for not letting her have this case. It was way too personal. It was her daughter, how more personal can it get.
"The CSU guy told me when we found the hive, it was bought at a farm, and by the tearing on the hive, he could tell they were made angry" Elliot answered quietly.
"Where was it bought?" Olivia asked quickly.
"C'mon liv, don't ask cause I wont tell you, cause you shouldn't be on this case for your own good" Elliot said stroking her shoulder.
"I know" Olivia said quietly knowing if she were on this case where her daughter was the victim would tear her apart.
"Go get Haley and go with Jeff, try not to think about this ok?" Elliot said as he took her in a hug.
"Ok, Call me later?" Olivia asked giving him a kiss on the cheek, Elliot smiled a little and nodded, Olivia managed a small smile and walked away toward the ambulance to join Haley and Jeff.
They arrived at Jeff's house at 10 at night, Haley sleeping and Jeff carrying her up the stairs.
"Keys are in my jacket," He whispered to Olivia. Olivia nodded and went for his right pocket knowing he always kept his keys there. She unlocked the door and Jeff headed to take Haley to her room.
Olivia looked around his apartment, he had pictures with Sarah and Haley together and some with Haley and him and some with Sarah and him.
She noticed at a picture behind all of them and moved the picture to see what it was. Jeff and her on their first anniversary. They were at the beach, which he made a nice picnic for them; Olivia was sitting in between his legs as he took the picture of them together. Both of them smiling happily.
She smirked a little and put the picture back as she heard Haley's door close. She sat on the couch and just waited.
"She is sleeping and she is enjoying it" Jeff said smiling as he came in the living room and took off his leather jacket.
"Good, at least she wont have to feel the pain of the stings for a while. How's your sting?" Olivia asked as he sat down next to her.
"Luckily only two of them, I have to go tomorrow to get another shot, if I was allergic to pollen like normal people this would be so much easier" Jeff said with a smirk.
"Well if you weren't allergic to anything that would be easier," Olivia said smiling. Jeff smiled and nodded. "But for what its worth you took a chance doing that even though you knew you were allergic, so I applaud you for doing that" Olivia said with a small smile.
"Well thank you but I want a standing ovation" Jeff said smiling as he got up and went to the kitchen. Olivia smiled and rolled her eyes.
"I'll take the couch and if Haley wakes up or something just call me" Olivia said looking at him grab a sprite and lifted it up which was his way of offering, Olivia just shook her head.
"Don't be ridiculous, I'll take the couch and you can take my bed its not a problem" Jeff said as he opened his sprite and took a sip.
"No its ok, I'll just sleep on the couch, you don't have to"
"I insist," Jeff said smiling sitting next to her.
"I suggested" Olivia said smiling.
"I offered" Jeff said smiling. Both of their smiles faded realizing they went back and forth like that about an agreement when they were together. They let the awkward silence play its part.
"I'll get a blanket and a pillow and you take my bed," Jeff finally said getting up and placing his soda on the table.
"Ok, thanks" Olivia said quietly and got her bag that she had her things in.
"Of course" he said and went into his bedroom to get an extra pillow and blanket and came back into the living room. "If you need anything you know where to find me" Jeff said smiling and placing the stuff on the couch.
"You got it, goodnight" Olivia said with a smirk and went to his bedroom.
She tossed and turned for more then 2 hours not being able to fall asleep. She could smell Jeff's cologne on his pillows. It wasn't the same as Elliot's. She didn't know if it was in a good or a bad way. She got out of bed and slowly opened the door.
"Sneaking out somewhere" She heard Jeff whisper from the kitchen. She smiled and walked over to the kitchen. He was making hot chocolate and only in his boxers and a t-shirt.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Olivia asked walking over to him.
"Same as you," He answered. Olivia smiled and nodded knowing he was meaning Haley, which was the exact reason she wasn't sleeping. "Want some hot chocolate?" He asked pouring some in his cup.
"Of course" She answered taking that cup, he smiled and took another cup for himself. Olivia sat on a stool, he sat across from her, just a small light in the kitchen was on.
"You know they wont let me work this case," Olivia said as she took a sip of the hot chocolate.
"Maybe that's better, I wasn't satisfied myself about not being able to work to get this bastard but Haley needs her parents now and not cops" Jeff said as he took a sip of his hot chocolate.
"I guess" Olivia said shrugging.
"Stop guessing, you know I'm right" Jeff teased smiling. Olivia laughed and rolled her eyes.
"You know me and you have to be very lucky people." Olivia said looking at him.
"How's that?" Jeff asked putting his cup down and looking at her.
"She didn't get FAS even if I did drink by accident while I was pregnant with her, and this today…I'm just glad she didn't get raped" Olivia said and whispered the last sentence as her eyes started tearing up and she wasn't able to hide the tear rolling down her cheek. Jeff said nothing and got up and went over to her and hugged her and just held her.
She didn't want to feel comfort from her ex-husband but she couldn't fight the feeling. She felt comforted by him, she wanted Elliot hugging her and telling her it would be ok but she was glad Jeff was doing the same great job of making her feel safe and comforted.
They heard Haley scream. Both of them let go of each other and ran to her room quickly. Jeff turned on the light when he ran in. Haley was sitting up on her bed and hugging her blanket and crying, Jeff and Olivia both sat down next to her. Olivia hugged her and held her as Haley sobbed into her chest.
"It's ok honey, were here" Olivia whispered rocking her back and forth.
"Don't turn off the lights" Haley choked through tears.
"We wont" Jeff whispered as he gently rubbed her back to settle her down.
"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Haley asked looking up at Olivia.
"Of course. C'mon" Olivia said as she picked her up, Jeff took her blanket and followed them into his bedroom.
Olivia put down Haley into the bed and got in.
"Here you go baby," Jeff said as he covered Haley with her blanket which he knew she loved.
"Daddy stay here" Haley said grabbing his hand.
"I'm going to be in the living room if you need anything, mom is right here next to you" Jeff whispered as he gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"No, stay with us" Haley said but before he could object again, "Please" Haley added. Jeff looked at Olivia, Olivia nodded slightly and moved Haley closer to her so Jeff can lay down next to Haley.
Jeff climbed in and pulled the blanket over all three of them. Haley wrapped one arm around Jeff's and rested her head on his shoulder and held onto Olivia's hand with the other. She was finally happy having both of her parents next to her. All three of them fell asleep together as a family.
A/N: I hope that makes it up for the Jeff and Olivia voters, but don't worry EO shippers its still EO!
