16th Precinct

9.36 am

Olivia was in hospital for three days. As soon as she was discharged on the fourth day she made her way into work.

"Olivia what are you doing here?" Cragen asked as she shuffled awkwardly into the bullpen.

"House is still a crime scene till FBI have finished going over it with a fine tooth comb." Olivia shrugged taking her seat in front of her desk and lifting up the closest file. "And to be honest I missed work."

"But you're on desk duty." He reminded her. "That includes no interviews and no interrogations."

"I know." She replied as Elliot walked in carrying Sophie and Amy's car seat's one in each hand as Olivia wasn't allowed to lift anything heavy.

"Hey Stabler bring me the girls!" Fin smiled happily, he could keep them quiet between feeds and seeing as he was just piled up with paperwork he needed the distraction.

Elliot placed the car seats in front of Fin's desk and made his way over to his own just as Jessie walked into the bullpen with bright red eyes and deep black bags underneath them, she had tried to hide them but had done a very poor job.

"Jessie?" Olivia questioned as soon as the rookie was close enough.

"Hey." She said weakly but Olivia wasn't going to drop.

"Come on." She said taking Jessie's hand and as stairs was a bit of a bother she opted for the closest interrogation room to talk with her partner.

Olivia closed the door and took one of the chairs, standing for too long caused her some pain so she didn't want to stand while talking to Jessie.

"You wanna tell me what's wrong?" Olivia asked and Jessie's eyes instantly watered. "Jessie?"

"Ryan." She managed to hiccup before wrapping her arms around Olivia's neck.

"Oh Jessie what happened?" Olivia asked as she ran her fingers through Jessie's fiery red locks.

"He said… he said…"

"Ok calm down sweetie you're going to make yourself sick." Olivia cooed trying to calm the hysterical Detective down.

"He said he'd never forgive me if I had an abortion…" She cried and Olivia's heart broke for the young woman who was like a daughter to her.

"Oh Jessie." Olivia cooed softly. "I'm sorry."

"I'm not… ready… to… be a…. Mom…" She hiccupped.

"It's ok, Jessie he can't make you keep the baby." Olivia told her gently.

"But I… I ... love him… I don't… wanna… loose him…" She said and Olivia really felt for the girl that clung to her.

"I'm sure you do Jessie but you really need to talk to Ryan properly…"

"I tried… but he… he just kept yelling… saying I didn't… deserve to be pregnant… said that lots of women… would kill to be in my… my position…" She sobbed hard and Olivia thought about how hard she'd fought to keep the small infant growing inside of her and how if anything would have happened to her baby she would have fought to be in Jessie's position but that didn't make what Ryan was doing ok as it was Jessie's decision whether or not she went through with the pregnancy.

"Jess go and lie down in the cribs, get your head together ok?" Olivia told her softly. "You need to get some sleep."

"Ok." Jessie nodded.

"I'll clear it with Cragen." Olivia told her as they walked to the door.


Once Olivia had made sure Jessie had gone to get her head down and spoken with Cragen she made her way out to the parking lot and took the car. She didn't know why but she felt drawn to help Jessie. The young rookie was like a daughter to Olivia, heck Olivia was just old enough to be her mother so she wasn't surprised especially with how quickly the two had bonded over things they had in common.

She pulled up outside the one police plaza labs and she knew that she had to intervene, even if it wasn't really her place. She would do it for Maureen or Kathleen or Lizzie so she'd do it for Jessie took.

"Olivia?" Ryan questioned seeing the older Detective shuffle awkwardly through the door.

"Ryan." Olivia said folding her arms across her chest trying to his the pain in her abdomen from the stab wound.

"Here sit down." He told her vacating his seat and giving her his hand to help her move.

As much as she didn't want to accept his help she did anyway because she was in too much pain to argue.

"Talk." She told him and he sighed and ran his hand down his face in frustration, he knew Jessie would run to Olivia.

"What do you want me to say Liv?" He asked.

"The truth." Olivia told him firmly and he sighed and sat down on the edge of the desk.

"I've wanted to be a Dad for so long Olivia, and Jessie… God I've fallen in love with her and to hear her say she doesn't want to have my baby… it killed me to hear that Liv…" He told her and Olivia sighed softly, she understood his frustration.

"She loves you too Ryan. And she is so scared of losing you right now but she's not ready to have a kid, she doesn't know if she wants kids and now isn't the right time for her personally … it's nothing to do with you Ryan, she is terrified of losing you because of this but she isn't sure she wants to be a Mom either." Olivia told him and he sighed heavily.

"I don't want to lose her…" He whispered.

"Then don't screw this up!" Olivia snapped. "Be there for her whatever decision she makes because just because she doesn't want this baby it doesn't mean she won't have babies with you in the future Ryan, she understands she's blessed to be pregnant but mentally… mentally she isn't ready Ryan you don't know half of what she's been through to understand what's been going through her mind." Olivia explained best he could and he nodded. "If you don't want to lose her tell her that you'll stand by her whatever decision she decides to make and make sure she knows you love her regardless of the decisions she makes. Because if you don't Ryan you're going to have a big problem on your hands, you're going to have a problem because you won't just lose Jessie but you'll lose friends in El and I too, I will defend my kids to the ends of this earth and Jessie falls into that category, she's my daughter and I won't let you hurt her."

"I'm sorry Liv."

"Don't apologise to me, apologise to Jessie." She replied getting to her feet. "Before she makes a drastic decision on her own."

Ryan nodded as Olivia left and he knew she was right. He was glad to have a friend like Olivia who spoke sense and even intervened when it wasn't her place too. He also knew he had to tell Jessie Olivia had said she was a daughter to her, he knew that would make her feel loved something Jessie didn't let herself feel easily.

He grabbed his car keys with one destination in mind but hundreds of words that he would have to speak to his girlfriend.


So should Jessie and Ryan keep the baby? What's happened to the case? All that next chapter!
