Upon entering the room, Olivia smells the sweet smell of perfume invading her nostrils and smiles, as she hears the sound of water in the bathroom. The lieutenant walks to the bathroom door and, leaning against it, observes Alexandra's silhouette under the shower, singing softly. She smiles in a corner and says, feeling a joy to realize that Alex was better after the weekend:
— It is very nice to hear your lively voice...
The noise of water stops, Alexandra gets out of the shower, while grabbing the towel for dry your damp body and look at Olivia, who blinks saying:
— Good morning, my love.
— Good morning. — Alexandra responds by lightly kissing the lieutenant's mouth and, already dry, deposits the towel in the sink, walking to the bedroom and crossing it to the closet, being followed by Olivia.
— I'm glad to know you're fine. Now tell me — the lieutenant sits on the bed and picks up a nightgown that was lying close to the floor, lifts the clothes close to her eyes and smiles, feeling the silk. — How was the weekend with Anastácia's family?
The answer didn't come immediately, Alexandra chooses her clothes for that morning and appears throwing the clothes on the bed, walks to the bathroom and takes the body cream, returning to the front of the bed.
— Let's say it was good, as always, my sister is still beautiful and very happy with the family. My nephews are impossible and very beautiful! Elizabeth is so cute, so sweet!
Alexandra stops talking, clinging to the cream, and Olivia realizes that traumas are appearing in her wife's mind again. Then the lieutenant gets up from the bed, dropping the silk nightdress on the floor, and grabs Alexandra by the hair in a loving way so that she looks you in the eye. The two look at each other for seconds until Alexandra releases the cream and grabs the lieutenant's neck, which hugs her around the waist, hiding your face in the long, blond hair of the crying woman.
— I miss my little princess so much, Liv. Why?! Tell me, why is that?!
The lieutenant says nothing, because there is nothing more to say and she knows that no words would comfort that heart, so she simply remains in that embrace in which Alexandra cries sobbing and Olivia just kisses her hair and caresses her waist.
"— Olivia, your daughter will be found alive, I just ask you to leave the case for an obvious reason, a personal reason! Let Elliot and Fin take care of the case, go home to take care of your wife who is in need of you right now. — Captain Cragen warns the detective, who was trying not to break everything by the kidnapping of her daughter.
At the Blalock mansion, police and other people were already ready, Elliot and Fin were talking to Alexandra's brother-in-law, Alfred Blalock. Olivia watches her wife appear in tears and follows her with her eyes up the stairs
...and that's how Alexandra and Olivia began their end, in a complicated and difficult situation in their lives: Alexandra and Olivia's daughter had been kidnapped by a pedophile that Olivia was in the case of his persecution and the man kidnapped her daughter Alice, a 3 years old little girl.
During all the investigation of the case, Olivia didn't go home where Alexandra was in tears, being supported by your parents, sister and friends. The two barely spoke and Olivia was obsessed with finding the bastard and your little daughter. She could no longer bear to see your wife in that situation, dying little by little day after day. Furthermore, she could no longer bear to go through that torment in not knowing about your daughter and not even know what the bastard could be doing to Alice.
After a week and a half, the case ended... tragically.
The pervert was in Olivia's sights and her fingers, pressed against the gun in her hand, failed the moment the bastard put Alice in front of him. She was a little girl of 3 years old, with short brown hair and light blue eyes.
The moment Olivia squeezed the trigger, the bastard cut Alice's throat and laughed as he fell to the floor bleeding. At the same time, Olivia ran to meet her daughter's body and, crying in tears, grabbed her, trying to stop the blood. Meanwhile, the little girl let out little sobs, until she could no longer breathe, and her body softened in the arms of the detective, who was crying uncontrollably...
— NOOOOOOOO... ALICE! MY BABY GIRL! MYBABY GIRL! — the detective screamed, while the other detectives and police arrived...
Olivia didn't want someone else to tell Alexandra about the death of her daughter, as she felt responsible for what happened and decided to get out of the car to enter her house..."
— Liv?! Liv?!
The detective blinks hard to return to the present, six months after Alice's death, facing Alexandra half-naked, wearing only her panties, and smiles sheepishly, as she sits back on the bed:
— Sorry, honey, I was lost in memories. — Olivia comments looking from the corner to the half naked woman in front of her and wished to touch that pair of pink breasts that she hasn't touched in months. — What were you saying?
Alexandra does not respond immediately, remains standing holding the dress in her hands and looking hard at the detective. Then she shakes your head and puts on your clothes when she answers:
— I was saying that we are going to have lunch with Laura today, are you all right?
— Oh, you are in charge, my lady! — Olivia joked, while smiling as she watched the woman finish putting on the dress and stand on her back admiring herself in the mirror.
Olivia and Alexandra have not actually kissed on the mouth for months, don't have sex and have no physical contact other than holding hands and kissing on the cheek. After their daughter's death, they both moved away, Olivia can't take away the guilt she feels about it and she doesn't forget Alexandra's harsh words when she said that it was the lieutenant's fault.
Alexandra doesn't stand the lieutenant's touch, doesn't even support her breathing, she has slept away from Olivia in bed and always tries to do things so as not to be alone with her.
But Olivia can't take the situation of her marriage anymore, she won't let her daughter's death keep her away from Alexandra, she knows she needs to do something to save her marriage, because, if it depends on Alexandra, it's all over! They fought so much to be together, they need each other more than anything else.
Then, realizing that Alexandra wants some privacy, Olivia points to the door and leaves, walking down the stairs to the kitchen, while Alexandra remains standing in front of the mirror, looking at her tear-stained face as she remembers her little Alice.
Late at night, Alexandra sighs heavily before opening the door to her duplex, she doesn't want to talk to Olivia and would rather spend a few days at her parents' house than there. After entering the house, the blonde locks the door behind her and is greeted by her bull terrier, who barks frantically:
— There, my beautiful boy! Mommy arrived! Mommy arrived! — Alexandra exclaims in a child's voice as she picks up the dog.
She walks into the living room, where she places her purse on the sofa and kisses Thunder's snout several times, who licks her excitedly.
— Hi! — a female voice with british accent says next to Alexandra, who looks scared at the woman beside her.
— Ah, hello! — the blonde greets the smiling red-haired woman. — You must be Merida, Olivia's friend!
— That's me! — Merida kisses Alexandra's hand. — And you must be the wonder woman married to Olivia! Dr. Alexandra!
— I don't know about the wonder woman, but I'm Dr. Alexandra, still married to Olivia!
Alexandra responds bitterly and snorts impatiently when she gets up. She walks to the kitchen, where she takes a glass from the shelf above the sink, depositing it there, and then opens the refrigerator to get the water bottle, closing the door with her feet, while putting water in the glass. Alexandra realizes that she is being watched by someone on the other side of the kitchen counter that divides the living room:
— I see that I'm disturbing something between you two... Don't worry, cause tomorrow I'll go to my house that I bought it here. — Merida comments, feeling the bad energy of the environment.
Alexandra doesn't say anything right away, with her blue eyes on the woman in front of her and notices her with some attention: somewhat tall, with broad shoulders, athletic body, strong arms. The orange hair is long and wavy, matching the green eyes. She needed to assume that Merida is a somewhat charming and very beautiful woman, who has a strong look that makes Alexandra feeling a bit... hot.
The red-haired woman is a Welsh woman and a friend of Olivia for years, who had come to NY to work, as a traumatologist and considered one of the best in the UK, where she lived before going to America.
— You aren't in the way of anything, Merida, feel free. I'll just change clothes and I'll be right back!
Alexandra responds harshly in the words and goes up the stairs, reaching the upstairs corridor, she looks to the right, where there are two closed doors and one of them is from little Alice's room. Alexandra walks heavily to the purple door, painted delicately with kitties, and passes her hand, beginning to cry silently. The prosecutor lays her body there and falls to the floor, leaning against the door, crying desperately, she puts one hand on her belly and the other on her mouth to stifle the groans of suffering.
Olivia leaves the suite and finds her wife crying on the floor in front of Alice's bedroom door, then immediately runs over to her, kneeling in front of her and takes Alexandra's face in her hands:
— My love.. — the lieutenant looks into the tearful blue eyes and her heart sinks. — Oh, my love... — Olivia tries to hug her tight, but Alexandra pulls her away, standing up.
— Don't touch me, Olivia! — the blonde walks irritably to the suite and closes the bedroom door, leaving Olivia kneeling in front of Alice's door.
The lieutenant swallows her tears, gets up, fixing her hair, and opens the door to the little girl's room: everything is as it always was, it's as if Alice still lived there. The smell of watermelon lingers throughout the room and Olivia enters slowly. She takes a plush hippo from the purple bed and strokes it, remembering her little baby...
"— But look what a beautiful hippo, what does he call it?
Olivia asks affectionately to little Alice sitting on the floor of her little room and hands her the plush.
— Mr. Hippo, mom! Mommy gave me... — Alice answers, grabbing the hippo, and Olivia picks her up, lifting her high, making the little girl laugh and exclaim happily: — AHHH... fly Mr. Hippo...
The detective smiled lovingly seeing your little girl laughing happily. She has never been so happy in her life, because she has everything she ever imagined: a wife who loves her and a daughter! So much happiness that there was no room for anything else...
— HOW DID SOMEONE TAKE HER INSIDE THE SCHOOL?! — Olivia screamed in the hallway of the school where Alice was studying and which is the most expensive in the city. — I WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW AN UNKNOWN MAN ENTERS NY'S MOST EXPENSIVE SCHOOL AND KIDNAP A 3 YEAR OLD GIRL?!
— Easy, Olivia, easy! — Elliot puts his hand on his friend's shoulder, but your hand is pushed by her.
— DON'T ASK ME TO BE CALM, ELLIOT, MY DAUGHTER WAS KIDNAPPED INSIDE THE SCHOOL BY A STRANGER! HOW COME?! — the detective shouts, opening her arms, while the security guards and the director try to calm her down.
— Benson, please stay calm, we're doing our best!
— YOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH, ALLOWED AN UNKNOWN MANIACAL TO ENTER SCHOOL AND KIDNAP MY DAUGHTER! — Olivia screams, feeling the cell phone vibrate and, when looking at the small screen, freezes when reading "Love". What could she tell your wife? What will Alexandra say about Alice?..."
— Liv? Liv? — Merida's voice sounds close to the lieutenant, who shakes her head returning to the present, to the little girl's cold room, with her friend looking at her sadly.
Olivia doesn't answer, puts the plush back on the couch and turns her friend over:
— She was cheerful, shy, sweet... just like Alexandra used to be, Mery...
— Liv, it wasn't your fault. You did your best to save your little girl and, unfortunately, that maniac killed her and I'm sorry for that, but it wasn't your fault. — Merida speaks, stroking the crying lieutenant's shoulders. — You and Alexandra should have taken careful of each other not to allow that fact to take you both a part, but now it's difficult.
— She looks at me and everything I see in my wife's eyes is guilt... She blames me for Alice's death, for her kidnapping, for the disgrace of our marriage. — Olivia mumbles looking at her hands. — She doesn't even touch me, look at me... I haven't touched my wife in months, I haven't kissed my wife, we haven't done anything except put up with each other... I feel like my marriage is about to end a close call and Alexandra doesn't even care about that… I'm the other mom that lost her little girl as well! Why doesn't she remember that?!
