Elliot held the paper in his hand and they watched stunned as the man walked away.

"Elliot, what did you do? What could that be from?"

"I guess there's only one way to find out, I'm going to open it."

Elliot read it in his head then said out loud,

"Kathy is trying to gain full custody back of the twins."

"How can she do that? You were just given full custody not even a full two weeks ago."

"I don't know but the hearing is in a few days."

"El, it will be okay. The judge will see how well you take care of the twins and how happy they are with you. It will be okay, I promise and I will be with you ever step of the way."

"Thanks Liv, I'm just grateful that the twins were finally happy again and that I got you back. I don't want to lose them again."

"We won't lose them, El. We won't, we can't."

"We…?"

"Yes we, I love you and we are in this together. I love those kids as much as I love you maybe a little more. I will do whatever it takes to make sure they stay with us because with us is where they belong."

"I love you too, Liv."

"I have to go call my lawyer, I have so much to do."

"Go, I'll stay here; Brian is with Dickie and Ella till Casey can get there and I'm sure Lizzie will be fine with me."

"Come here."

Elliot pulled Olivia close, kissed her gently, then looked down at her and said,

"Have I told you lately that I love you and you mean so much to me?"

"Hmm, I'm not sure but it sounds amazing to hear you say it."

"Bye, Liv. I'll bring you back something to eat. I love you and tell Lizzie I love her too."

"Bye, El, I love you too."

Kathy couldn't believe that it hadn't even been a week and Lizzie was already back in the hospital. She guessed she should go and see her since she was filing to try and get back full custody of the twins. It's not like she really wanted to have full custody, she already had her hands full with Eli and Sarah. But she was the twins' mother and they should be with her. She arrived at the hospital, found a parking spot, and then went inside in search of the nurse's station. She finally reached it and was trying to get one of the nurse's attentions but they all seemed to be ignoring her.

"Excuse me!"

"Yes, I'm sorry, I can I help you?"

"I'm looking for Elizabeth Stabler's room."

"Are you family?"

"I'm her mother."

"I'm sorry, but her mother is in her room, who are you?"

"I already told you, I'm her mother."

"And I told you her mother is with her."

"Okay, I don't know what kind of hospital it is you are running, but I am her mother; I don't know if my ex's girlfriend is playing Mommy in there with my daughter, but I am her biological mother."

"Miss, Lizzie was in here last week, the same woman that was in here last week with her the whole time is in there with her now. I can bring you to see but, I didn't ONCE see you in her for her. So you may think you are that girl's mother, in theory but you definitely are NO mother. Where were you when she needed you most?"

"That is none of your business. Please bring me to MY daughter."

"Right this way."

Kathy followed the nurse up to Lizzie's floor and made a mental note of her name. She would be hearing from Kathy's lawyer for the way she had treated her.

"Miss this is Elizabeth Stabler's room."

"Thank you."

Before Kathy went in, she looked to see who this mysterious woman was that called herself Lizzie's "mother". Olivia. She should have known better. She watched as Olivia and Lizzie sat on the bed and played Barbie's. She could see about six boxes that lay on the floor next to the bed, they were new. Olivia was trying to buy her way into her daughter's life and she would not have the walked into the room loudly enough to make herself noticed.

"Hi, Lizzie; sorry it took me so long to get here. Olivia, I'm sure you have better things to do then play with Barbie's you can leave now."

"Oh, I really don't mind; we were having fun weren't we Lizzie?"

"Yea Mom did you see all the pretty new Barbie's Liviee got me for being so brave?"

"Yes, I see them. So Olivia, what happened that Lizzie is back in the hospital so soon?"

"The doctor gave the nurse the wrong prescription to give to me. So Elliot and I didn't know any better because it was an antibiotic, but since she gets three doses a day and she was given the wrong stuff that caused some problems."

"Can I see you in the hallway, Olivia?"

"Sure, Lizzie you stay here. I'll be right back."

"Olivia, I think it's time for you to leave and if you don't, I will not think twice about calling hospital security."

"You know, Kathy, I know you are Lizzie's mother and all but have you even once stopped and thought about what your daughter wants or even your son for that matter?"

"Olivia, I think you need to leave, NOW. Trust me I won't think twice to call hospital security."

"Let me go get my jacket and purse."

"Liviee, are you ready to play again?"

"No Baby, listen I have to leave and go do some things but don't worry, I'll be back."

"But Liviee, I want you to stay."

"I know you do baby, but I'll be back don't worry. What did I tell you last time?"

"That no one could pay you enough money to stay away from me."

"That's right. I'll be back before you know it."

Lizzie watched Olivia walk out the door and her eyes filled with tears. She stared at her mother, who was sitting in the chair across from her bed, but she had her head deep in work. She didn't understand why Olivia had to leave all of a sudden, but she had a feeling that her mom made her. Lizzie dried her eyes and then asked her mom,

"Hey mom, will you play barbie's with me?"

"Lizzie, don't be silly I don't have time to play games. Just sit there, play with yourself and watch television."

Lizzie didn't even respond to her. Olivia felt the tears roll down her face, as she heard Kathy talking to Lizzie. All she could think was what kind of mother doesn't have time to play with or comfort their sick child. She walked away from Lizzie's room because she could bear to hear anymore the Kathy might possibly have to say, so she went and sat down in the waiting room.

Brian was just finishing up cleaning the kitchen when Casey walked through the door.

"Hello, where is everyone?"

"Hey Casey, we're all in the kitchen."

"Hey, I'll finish that I'm sure you have tons of stuff to do."

"It's okay I don't mind. Casey, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"I'm never going to get Olivia back, am I?"

"Brian, you guys were never together, so no."

When he heard Casey say that he stormed out of the apartment. He felt like a fool, like he was just being used. They all saw him as the nice guy, they would never expect anything.

I got alot of different ideas going through my head all at once. But what did you think of this chapter. Sorry its been a little while I've been busy with school. Should I keep it going?
