Hey here's the update! Hope you enjoy!

Captain Cragen's POV

I'd just got off the phone with CPS for the fourth time in two weeks. They really want Wyatt to go into foster care. But he's been doing really well with Hope and she's gotten him to open up and relax a little. I'm in my office and Hope comes in, I'm not really sure what she wants to talk about but this is a perfect chance for me to tell her. "CPS called again"

She sighs, "About what?" I have a feeling she knows what's happening and she doesn't want it to.

"Wyatt... they aren't really happy that he's been staying with you" I tell her, her face changes to one of anger and she's upset already.

"Seriously? I'm the only one he doesn't curl up and hide from!" She snaps, I know he's learned to trust her and I've fought as hard as I could to keep him with her but it just won't work anymore.

I sigh, "I know. I've been telling them that. I've been pushing it back for a while now, but he really should be with them"

"They wouldn't get anywhere with him" She protests, this may be true but I know there are people there that can help him.

"they have some counselors that can work with him. they said he's high priority for a foster home" I explain to her, she just looks so skeptical I'm a little worried about her.

She sighs, "I don't trust them"

"why?" I ask her, something had to have happened to her for her not to trust CPS. But then some people just don't.

"I just don't... too much stuff slides with them" She says, this makes me think something happened to her or someone in her family.

"Hope I'm gonna make sure he gets taken care of" I tell her, I'm gonna keep checking in on him since he's got some issues that really need to be worked on

She just gives me a very skeptical look, but I have to reassure her it'll be okay, even though I'm not completely sure it will be.

"Hope it's gonna be okay. I was gonna give him our number incase something happens" I tell her. I want Wyatt to know that we're still here, even if he's not with Hope anymore. We can still help him if he needs us.

"Alright... you better make sure he goes to a good home" She tells me, I really hope he does too. Hopefully I'll have some say in where he goes.

"I will. I'll talk to them before he goes with them. I don't want him getting hurt anymore" I reassure her. The little boy just needs a good home and someone to take care of him.

"Let me find out who they are too" She says, I can tell she's devastated she's losing him but at the same time she's being really protective over him.

"I was planning on it. I'm gonna make sure they're good people. I want Wyatt to meet them before we just let him go" I tell her, I want to show Wyatt that we really do care and we're taking the time to make sure he gets a good home.

She just sighs and gives me an angry look.

"if he doesn't seem like he likes them I won't make him go" I tell her, hopefully they'll let my opinion mean something. If Wyatt is just completely terrified of someone I'm not going to make him live with them, but I know it's not my decision.

"Then where will he go?" She asks, still giving me a skeptical look.

"he'll stay here until we find a good family. I won't let him go to a group home. it's not what he needs" If he goes to a group home he won't get the attention and support he needs. It will be another big change and it won't be good for him.

"Well that's good. Just make sure he stays with me if anything happens" She tells me. I was planning on that.

"I will. I'm gonna call the social worker back and let her know that she can give some families to look at" I tell her, and her face falls. She knows what has to happen and she just doesn't want it to.

She sighs, "Alright"

"don't tell him anything yet. I don't want to scare him" I tell her, I just don't want to upset the little boy just yet. He's getting a lot better with Hope.

"I won't tell him. He'd only get upset" She tells me, I can tell she's already upset about this.

I sigh, "I know. but when we do tell him I can talk to him too"

"You should" She replies, it's short, but I know she's upset and trying to hide it. I think she'd have a really hard time talking to him and just wants me to do it.

"alright, I'll try to explain it to him" I reassure her. I just know he's going to be so upset.

"He'd probably just think I'm mad at him if I told him" she says, which is probably true.

I sigh, "probably... let me talk to him first when that happens"

"I will" she replies, I don't want to force her to talk anymore about this, since I can tell she's upset.

"it's gonna be fine. I know we'll find him a good home" I reassure her, but I can tell she doesn't believe me at all.

Hope's POV
After talking to Cragen I can't help but be a bit mad about this. I know he said I can take Wyatt for now, but that still isn't good enough. He just said I can take him tonight but what about after that? It seems like I'm the only one that doesn't scare him so I should be taking care of him. Rescue kids like Wyatt always need to be around someone they can trust and right now I'm the only one he's warmed up to at all.

Still frustrated about this whole thing I storm out of the bathroom where I was thinking about it. I must have been showing how I feel because Olivia, I think that's her name, comes up to me.

"Hope…"

I sigh. "What?"

"You okay?" she asks. I hate when people ask me that question, I never have a fully honest answer I can give them so I usually just say the same thing.

"I'm fine," I tell her, starting to walk away.

"You seem pretty angry."

"I'm fine," I repeat. I wish she'd just leave me alone. I'm not gonna talk to her, or anyone else for that matter.

"You can talk to me, Hope…"

"Olivia, I'm fine."

"I can tell you're gettin attached to Wyatt," Olivia says. Ugh. She's gonna start guessing now, isn't she…

"I'm not," I say, "I just hate these kinda cases."

This is actually true. I really hate working with these child cases, they always hurt more than the rest even though this is the reason I joined the police. I wanted to help this kids so they won't have to suffer…

"These cases are never easy," Olivia says, "But I could tell you got really angry when the parents denied everything."

I sigh. I really do hate when the parents won't own up to what they did. It's bad enough they hurt their kid but ignoring them or hitting them, but it seems even worse to me when they won't even own up to it. Obviously they won't wanna get caught but it still just makes me so mad when they try to lie. It's just so painfully obvious when they did it but they still just try to deny it.

"CPS will take care of him, I know they can be kinda hard to trust sometimes."

"I don't trust them," I say flatly. I've never trusted CPS. They rarely ever help the kids they're supposed to and they just never take care of things.

"Why not?" Olivia asks. Ugh, I wish she'd stop asking me all these questions. It's not like I'm gonna tell her the truth about everything…

"I just don't," I say, trying to walk off again, but Olivia is still in my way.

"You can talk to me, Hope…" she says again. That doesn't mean that I will.

"There's not much to tell," I reply as I walk back to my desk.

"You sure?"

"Yeah," I say as I pick up some papers I'll need to fill out to take Wyatt home. Hopefully Olivia will stop asking me questions about this case if I'm busy with something else…

Please review guys! Your feedback means so much to me! :]
