Filler chapter to set up the rest of the story. And for all you lovely reviewers who spoke and let me know how much you love Simon and Liv, this chapter is for you.

''Do you realize how inappropriate it is to have brought me with you for this?'' Kathy looked at her daughter as she pulled up along the sidewalk opposite of her father's building. They had high tailed it out of there early that morning, both in shock of what they had discovered. Especially who they had discovered to be in Elliot's apartment, in his bedroom. They had gone for coffee, and did some shopping, Kathleen had decided she was going to confront her father about his night... and morning, and she decided that she was taking her mother along for the ride.

Kathleen looked at her mother as she put the car into park, she sighed as she removed the keys'' Because sometimes no matter how old a girl gets, she just needs her mommy'' She smiled at her, a hint of sarcasm on her face as Kathy rolled her eyes.

''I just want to know… I want to know if he's still going through with it, and If he is I want to know why? Why when he can obviously have what he's always wanted, and if he loves her so much, why was he banging his Ex-partner into next week all night?''

''Kathleen…'' she took a breath. ''I know your upset''

''I Love her'' She wiped a tear from her eye, looking down into her lap

''I figured you didn't mean all the bad things you said''

Kathleen rolled her eyes. ''Liv Mom, not Carrie, I love Liv''

''I know you do, she was wonderful with you kids growing up, I love her too for that, especially for Eli. But you may have to face it Honey. This could very well have been a drunken onetime thing; you don't know what is going on… Your dad may end up Married to Carrie and you all will have to accept it.

''that's exactly why I wan…'' She stopped mid-sentence '' Look'' points her mother in the direction of his apartment, Elliot stepped out the front door, Liv stepping out after him, she was older, her hair a lot longer, but it was her. He grabbed her arm gently pulling her to him in a sweet, but longing kiss before letting her go, she walked down the stairs and got into an SUV parked on the curb, he smiled as he watched her pull away, sadness overcoming his face once she was gone, he turned and walked back into the building.

'' There's you chance'' Kathy sighed, feeling sad for him, for them both. Kathleen stuck the keys into the ignition and whipped the car around in the middle of the street quickly ''New Plan'' She said as she started to follow Olivia's car.

''Kathleen! Are you insane? You cannot confront Olivia''

''I promise I won't do anything stupid'' She followed her, they drove for about 15 minutes until the SUV pulled into a parking lot across from central park, she got out of the car, and started walking across the street towards a playground, Kathleen and Kathy getting out and walking over toward where she had headed, they saw Liv walk up and sit down on a park bench next to a man, he looked over and smiled at her lovingly, greeting her.

''What in The Fuck?'' Kathleen whispered to her mother, Kathy took her daughters hand and led the over to bench behind the two, facing the other way so the pair wouldn't realize they were eavesdropping, Kathy patted her daughters leg to remind her to stay calm and not say anything.

''How was he last night?'' Liv Looked at Noah on the playground and back to her brother

''He was good, they got a little rambunctious this morning... note why were at the park'' He smiled teasingly at her

''I'm surprised I had him so long, usually you pick him up in the mornings'' He looked at the children, keeping his knowing gaze away from his sister

''I'm sorry… I was tired last night'' Her lie not sitting well with him

''You went home with him, didn't you?'' It wasn't angry, or judgmental, just a statement to let her know the floor was open, she could talk

''Not intentionally'' she said softly, she was on the brink of a meltdown, Simon could see it, he knew he had to tread lightly, he sat back and waited for her, giving the few moments she needed to open

''I fucked up…I fucked up bad'' Her voice cracked a bit, she let a lone tear escape her eye, swiping it quickly. ''He's engaged. He's engaged, and I knew that, he straight with me, he was out for his fucking bachelor party'' She spoke softly, avoiding her brother's eyes.

''Liv'' Simon sighed

''How could I have been so stupid?'' Another tear fell ''I was fine... It's been 5 years and I was fine, I thought this whole time he was there, in queens, tucked safely away with his wife and his kids, until last night, I accidentally run into him and find out he's divorced? He's been divorced for 4 years and he's getting married in a week… 7 days Simon, he's getting married in 7 damn days, so what do I do? Huh? I congratulate him, sorry I don't have a gift, how about I sleep with you instead?'' She rolled her eyes, wiping the flowing tears with her hands. She leans up, resting her elbows on her knees, her hands holding the sides of her face as she watches the kids, trying to calm herself down. Simon placed his hand on her back.

Kathy and Kathleen turned to each other, sadness in both their eyes as they listened.

''You didn't fuck up. I know how you feel about the guy, I know how you have for a while now, that wasn't just gonna go away just because he did. ''

The two glanced at each other once again ''who is that?'' Kathleen mouthed to her mom as she shrugged.

''Does he know your leaving?''

Kathleen looked at Kathy raising an eyebrow.

''No…No I didn't tell him''

''You should'' Simon spoke softly

''Simon… Why would I do that, last night was it... I can't ever see him again… The fact that I'm moving to Phoenix will just help me stay away''

The two women looked at each other in shock, Kathleen biting her tongue to keep from saying something

''I think it was mistake''

''Yeah'' she spoke softly, looking toward her lap as she twirled the hem of her shirt between her fingers

''I meant accepting the job in Phoenix... It's a mistake'' She looked up at him quickly

''Look Liv, it's your life, your decision, I'm just saying in my opinion it's a mistake. A good opportunity, and I think now your running harder than ever''

''Si...''

''No matter what, no matter what happens or where you end up, I'm your brother, I'm your brother and I love you, this bond that you and I have is unbreakable, and it gets stronger as we grow. No matter how much time passes, or how many miles are between us, nothing will stop me from being there for you. We disagree and we Bicker, but in the end, there will never be two closer friends, I'll always look out for you, and I know that's sappy… I just wanted to make sure I said it'' He looked at his sister, tears in her eyes

The two women behind them looked at each other, tears in their own eyes

She wiped her eyes, smiling softly at him.

''You remember when we first met? When you told me your whole life all you wanted was a sister?'' She smiled a bit

''Yeah'' He smiled back at her

'' I think, nobody should have to go through life without a brother'' She smiled nudging his shoulder softly. '' And I'll always look out for you two''

He chuckled, touched by her admission

''Id shoot a fucker over you'' she smirked playfully as he rolled his eyes with a laugh

''Only my sister'' shakes his head

He stands and holds his hand out to help her up. ''Come on, let's get our devil children and grab a pizza''

She smiled, taking his hand as she stood up, she wrapped her arms around him in a tight embrace. ''I love you'' she said softly, he smiled as they walked over to the playground and got Noah and Olivia, Kathy and Kathleen stayed on the bench quiet as they pass with their backs to them, Simon Carrying a small girl, and Liv holding the hand of a young boy as they walked across the street and got into her SUV. Once they were gone the two women stood

''I am talking to my father! Right now,'' Kathleen looked at Kathy, tears still in her eyes

''No… No, you're not'' She looked at her daughter

''Mom… We can't just let this go, no way in hell that blonde bimbo feels half for him what Liv does…No way''

Kathy looked at her, something in her eyes had changed, she spoke softly but firmly. ''You are not talking to him, I am…''

Kathleen raised an eyebrow. ''You are? Why?'' She looked at her in confusion

''Because I just became Team Benson''
