Olivia raced across town to the daycare. She knew exactly where it was because she had driven there several times in hopes of getting a glance of the child she had to give up. Olivia parked the car at an awkward position and ran towards the daycare. A security guard tried to stop her but she flashed her badge and continued to run towards the entrance. When she got to the office she was slightly out of breath. She told the secretary who she was and was quickly pointed into the direction of the playroom where Isabel was. As Olivia got closer to the room she could hear Isabel crying. Her heart broke and she went from a fast run to a slow jog. Then she slowly began to walk. Realization of what was happening slowly set in for her. Her hand was shaking when it slowly reached out for the door handle. She took a deep breath and slowly began turning the door. She nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard her name being called. She looked over to her right and saw Bridgette standing there.

"Olivia. Thank you for coming. She won't go to anyone else, not even me."

"I'm sorry, but what does that have to do with me? Do you intend to call me every time you can't control her?" Olivia got defensive.

"I know you're mad at me, but this ain't about you or me. That little girl in there needs you and you got to look past your unlike for me and realize that." Olivia crossed her hands across her chest and listened to what Bridgette was saying. "She has not been happy since I got her. She won't talk to me, she won't play with the other kids, and she cries herself to sleep every night."

"Well what did you think would happen when you yanked her from the only home she's ever known? It's going to take some time, but you can't call me every time there is a crisis. You wanted her, you have her. It's hard enough as it is without having to come to your rescue."

"Olivia I'm sorry, but you need to shut up. It's going to be hard enough to say this without you interrupting every 2 seconds. I love her. That's the only reason I came back for her. I never meant to do you or your family no harm. Dat little gurl is all I got. She all I had. No matter how much I want to, I can't make her love me. I can't make her forgive me for anything that has happened. She never smiles and she won't let me comfort her when she cries. I don't want my child to live like that. And I've realized that the only way that she is gonna be happy is if she with you. But you have to promise me that you will take care of my little girl. I already called my lawyer and she said she would have the paper work for you tomorrow. I'll sign over my rights to her."

"I don't know what to say. If this is a joke, it isn't funny."

"I guarantee you this ain't no joke." Bridgette said as she rubbed the ball of her foot against the wall.

"Then all I can say is it was very noble of you to think about what was best for Isabel. I'm glad you finally realize it. I guess I also need to thank you. She is a wonderful girl. I love her with all of my heart. And I promise you that I will take care of her. My family has always loved her as if I birthed her myself." Olivia stopped talking for a moment. The silence between them brought their attention back to Isabel's crying.

"I guess you want me to go in there and calm her down." Olivia said beginning to get anxious.

"Yeah, she been crying like that for hours. But that ain't all." Bridgette turned around pointed at a box that sat by the door. "This has all of her things in it. She may not want it, but it's there if does. But worry about that later. Go to her, she needs you."

"Alright." Olivia turned around and placed her hand on the door. She couldn't believe it. This wasn't happening. Wait until Elliot finds out. Wait until the kids find out. Olivia's heart swelled with joy. She turned around to say one final thanks and was surprised to find that Bridgette had already gone.

Olivia opened the door and the sight broke her heart. There was a teacher trying to hold Isabel but Isabel was thrashing in her arms. There was no telling how long it had been going on, and Olivia wanted it stopped.

"Isabel baby." Olivia said quietly, she wasn't confident that her voice sound as strong as she would have liked. When she was positive that Isabel hadn't heard her she said it even louder and kept repeating the name until Isabel looked in her direction. When Isabel looked over and saw Olivia, she immediately became silent and still. Then slowly, Isabel climbed down off the lap of the teacher and walked over to Olivia.

"Come to momma baby." Olivia said kneeling down with her arms outstretched.

"Mommy, mommy" Isabel said beginning to run to her mother. She jumped into Olivia's arms and Olivia stood up while hugging her daughter.

"Baby, I've missed you so much." Olivia said placing kisses all over her daughters face. She could hardly believe she was holding Isabel in her arms, even more so the fact that when she left today she would have Isabel with her. Forever! The thought made Olivia cry even more.

"Mommy, where's daddy?"

"He's at work with Uncle Don, and Fin and Munch. I have a great idea. Why don't we go and see them? Would you like that?" Isabel began to shake her head up and down furiously. Olivia smiled at her little girl and then placed her down on the ground. "Well, what do you say we get out of here?" Olivia took Isabel's hand and started to walk towards the door. She was surprised when Isabel didn't follow. "Baby, what's wrong?"

"I can't go. Bridgette said I couldn't leave with anyone but her." Isabel said looking down at the ground.

"Oh baby, don't worry about it. I talked with Bridgette and got special permission. Baby, you're coming home. You'll be living with me and daddy again."

"The judge said so!" Isabel said getting excited.

"Not yet, but she will soon."

"I can see Maureen, and Kacheen, and Dickie?" Isabel was beaming from ear to ear with hope of going home.

"Yes baby, everyone will be there. Come on, let's go." Olivia took Isabel's hand again and this time she followed.

The drive across town was better than the one coming. Isabel and Olivia sang silly song with each other on the way. Isabel also told stories of her days away from her family. When they pulled into the precinct Olivia all but jumped out of the car and ran to the other side. She grabbed Isabel and started for the door. The ride up the elevator was the longest Olivia had ever experienced. When she turned the corner she saw the men still huddled in a circle. When Isabel saw her father she turned around at Olivia. With a small nod of confirmation from Olivia, Isabel ran screaming for her daddy.

"Daddy, daddy, daddy!" Isabel said running and screaming for her dad. At the sound of her voice Elliot turned around and saw his little girl running for him. He barely had time to brace himself before she came flying into him.

"Hey baby girl, what are you doing here?" He looked quizzical at Olivia.

"Mommy came and got me." Isabel kissed her dad on the cheek before beginning to squirm trying to get out of her dads hold.

"She did, did she."

"Hey Isabel, why don't you play with Uncle Fin and Munch for a minute ok. Daddy and I will be back really soon." A sudden look of panic came over Isabel's face. "Don't worry sweety, I promise we'll be back. What did I tell you? I'm here, always, from now on." Olivia hugged her baby girl then got up and walked Elliot over to a corner.

"Olivia, what's up."

"Bridgette doesn't want her. I mean, she wants her, but she wants Isabel to be happy and she said that Isabel wasn't happy with her. She gave me a box of Isabel's stuff and then left. We talked and she said that her lawyer would be contacting us tomorrow to make it legal, but she was signing over her rights. She wanted it to be perfectly clear that she was doing this for Isabel, and not for her. She loves her and made me promise that we would take care of her. Of course, I told her that we loved her and she would be fine. I can't believe it El. I mean, it all seems surreal. I could hardly believe it, driving all the way over here with her in the backseat. She was smiling and singing all the old songs we used to sing."

"Man, I can't believe. So, You're absolutely positive that she's ours for good?" Elliot was a bit skeptical. "I mean, she could try to take her again."

"She can't Elliot. If she signs over her rights, she won't be able to take her again."

"But what if she doesn't sign over her rights?"

"Stop being so pessimistic. Right now we have her and that's all that matters. Let's go enjoy our daughter." Olivia said.

"Alright, we'll deal with it tomorrow. I love you Olivia." He kissed her and gave her a big hug before leading her back to Isabel.
