Thank you to the people who have reviewed and asked for more...this is my very first SVU fic and I hope I'm doing an okay job at writing the characters how they should be. I hope you carry on enjoying it as much as I enjoy writing it.

Liv's eyes widened and became glazed with unfalling tears. Fin approached her slowly and put a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry Liv, you know we are all here for you don't you" he told her, trying to coax her eyes to meet his own.

"I um, I just need to..." she didn't know what she needed to do, she wasn't sure what she felt or how to follow what she had just found out. She rushed towards the girl laying cold on the lab table and enveloped the teens head in her arms. Her knees were weak and as she let them fail Fin caught her in his arms and she leant into him as Elliot stepped closer to stroke her back. They all knew what was going on, they'd known for years that their colleague and friend had had a daughter when she was 16. At different points over the years she had confided in each of them when she felt down about how her little girl was growing up in foster care. Olivia had always loved children, even at that young age she knew she loved Danielle with all of her heart and wanted more than anything to take care of her herself, but the thing that made the now detective let her baby go was the way in which she had been conceived. A party was thrown for a group of teens who were enrolling in the 'Introduction to Policing' course in her home town to help them build a team spirit. She knew she was drunk, too drunk and knew afterwards what had happened. It wasn't until she was 6 months pregnant that she told her mother who the father was and all Serena could say was 'How can you want that child?' as if forgetting completely that she herself had gone through the same thing. That was the moment Olivia Benson had realized her mother resented her for being her rapists baby. Yes she had wanted her at the time, but as she grew older she looked less and less like Serena, which must have meant she looked more and more like him. She didn't want that for her baby, she knew she would have tried everything in her power to never let Danielle think for a second that she resented her, but at the same time wondered if her mother was right? Of course she wasn't, but in the head of a pregnant 16 year old rape survivor who had just found out what her mother really thought of her it was easy to relate and even easier to want to do what she thought would make her mother resent her less.

Liv sprung back into present day at the sound of Melinda calling her voice, beckoning back into the now.

"Liv...Liv...Olivia!" she looked round to see what Warner had to say.

"What?" she sighed, she felt numb.

"Olivia, the DNA we have for the vic and the DNA we have on the jacket don't match...that's not Danielle Olivia, that isn't your daughter" she spoke strongly and although she wanted the words to sound comforting, she couldn't quite muster the strength to imply that the victims death is better than having another girl on the table.

Liv's hand flew to her head and she stayed where she was in Fins arms for a moment before giving a loud sigh and standing back to her feet. The numb feeling was still there, the memory of feeling like that would never leave her, but she looked at the vic and once again placed a hand on the girls hair.

"I'm so sorry my sweetheart" she said. The others were confused, but Liv knew she had to apologize to this girl for being relieved that she wasn't her daughter!

Fin leaned towards her and placed his hands on her shoulders from behind before pulling her gently away from the body.

"Come on babe, this isn't good for you." he spoke softly and she did as she was told and backed away before storming out of the lab.

Once she was gone and out of earshot Elliot piped up once more.

"So the vic isn't Danielle, but the jacket does belong to her...which means she probably knew our Jane Doe." he stated, Melinda nodded and bit her lip in. They all knew what this meant. "So we need to find Liv's daughter, you know this could open a part of Liv that none of us have ever seen before? I don't think she's seen Danielle since she was a few days old! If we want to solve this case then she's going to have to meet her." he pieced together what they had all been thinking, before Melinda spoke up.

"Unless she's pulled from the case"

Fin shook his head and pursed his lips tight.

"We all know she won't allow that"
