A/N: Thanks for the support with this story, it really means a lot to me to see your reviews! I like seeing you guys talk about the blood and how it fits into this story. Sometimes in life things don't always go the way we want them to, or planned, and even the best plans fail sometimes. But there is always one person you can count on, and Olivia and Alex will only get stronger through all of this.

I shook my head in shock, this couldn't be right. There was no way Lillian was my mother, Melinda had to be wrong; or Parks stole blood from my real mom. I felt a sudden sadness take over my anger and confusion. I stared at the computer screen, but I couldn't focus, it was like I was looking through the screen. Melinda printed out the information and tried to give it to me, I felt my hand shakily take it from her but I couldn't look at it.

"Are you okay?" Melinda asked me.

I looked at her and shook my head, "No." I replied honestly. My whole body felt numb but I felt my legs walking out of the morgue. I took my phone out and dialled Alex's number.

"Olivia?" Alex said softly.

"Alex I need you." I said, tears caught in my eyes, the lump in my throat made it obvious I was about to burst into tears.

"Where are you?" she asked me.

"Bottom of the stairs outside the morgue." I managed.

"Stay there, I'll be two minutes."

I nodded but didn't reply. I hung up the phone and I heard the door a few floors up, then I heard heels clicking as Alex made her way to me. She looked at me, but before she said anything I threw my arms around her and broke, right then and there everything I'd been holding back crumbled.

"It's okay baby." I heard Alex in my ear, she stroked my hair softly and waited for me to pull away.

I realised I hadn't even told her what was wrong yet, I couldn't find the words so I pushed the paper into her hands and as she read it I saw something in her eyes change, she dropped her shoulders. "She's my mom." I said through choking tears.

Alex wiped the tears from my cheeks, she looked a little choked up herself, "I'm sorry Olivia."

Alex took me back into her arms, she held me close and made me feel safe. I pulled out of the cuddle and looked at Alex, just by looking in her eyes I knew I was safe, no matter what Parks' had planned, Alex was going to be standing at my side. "You have nothing to be sorry for Alex. Just please don't leave me, I can't do this without you."

Alex gave me a look that told me she wasn't going anywhere. "I love you Olivia, I told you before no matter what happens, I'm here. You're not alone anymore."

I smiled and looked at Alex, I felt butterflies in my stomach, like I was a teenager falling in love for the first time. I cupped Alex's cheek and kissed her, as our lips touched all my fears melted away. I felt Alex's hands roam my back, my right hand was on her neck, I felt like I couldn't get her close enough. I felt Alex pull away from me, our foreheads met as she held my hand, she heard footsteps and soon enough, Elliot appeared.

"Captain wants you." he said to me coldly.

I nodded but said nothing, I felt a knot in my stomach that didn't seem to shift. I smiled at Alex, "Can we have a movie night and take out tonight? I want to spend some time with you, away from work, away from Elliot and away from Lillian."

"I'd love that, but only if I get to pick the movie." Alex smiled at me and kissed me again. "We need to go upstairs."

I couldn't help but make her comment slightly dirty, she raised her eyebrows at me which made me smile more. "Sorry..."

Alex took my hand as we began walking up the stairs back to the squad room, "Don't be sorry, just save that energy for later." she winked at me and gave my hand a small squeeze.

I walked up to Cragen's office door with Alex at my side, I knocked and heard Cragen invite us in. "Have you got the results?" he asked straight away.

I sat down in front of him, "She's my mother." I said blankly trying my best not to cry again.

"Do you need to take some time?" he asked.

"No sir, I'm fine." I lied.

"Good because we've got another rape and I need you to focus." Cragen handed me a piece of paper with the young girls address on it. "She's at Mercy General now getting a rape kit."

I felt my insides churn, I hadn't gotten anywhere on the case with the exploding teddy bears, and now I had another victim. This was three in counting, I stood up and made my way out of the office. "We need to make some head way in this case Alex, we're getting nowhere."

"We're doing the best we can given the circumstances."

I knew Alex was right, but I was letting my feelings and emotions rule my head and I had nothing but a sketch of Sadie and our unsub. I felt bad, guilty even for not focusing on the victims more. I took the keys to the Crown Vic off my desk and grabbed my jacket from the back of my chair.

"Detective Olivia Benson, Special Victims." I announced myself to the doctor at the desk.

"You're here for Lucy Rogers." he said, "She's in with an attending now, you can go in." he pointed me in the direction of a private room.

Both Alex and I went in, I looked at the young girl laying on her back, she was fighting tears, and failing. "Hi there," I said softly, "My name's Olivia, what's yours?"

"Lucy." the young girl said.

"Hi Lucy." I smiled softly, "How're you feeling?"

"Sore." she replied.

"How old are you sweetheart?" I asked taking hold of the girls hand.

"Eight."

I nodded, I could see Alex writing down her details, I carried on talking to Lucy whilst Alex asked the usual, any fluids? Bruising? And other signs of sexual assault or abuse. Alex came back over to me and whispered in my ear, "Fluids, bruising and burns."

"Lucy, we're finished here now, so me and my friend Alex are going to take you to the precinct where we can take your statement and find out exactly what happened okay?"

I saw a change in the girls eyes and felt my insides knot, this wasn't going to be easy; there was something very odd about this girl and I had a bad feeling I was about to find out what.

"Can I have a minute to get dressed?" she asked.

"Of course. There are some clean clothes for you on the chair."

I looked at Alex as we walked out of the hospital room. "What are you thinking?" she asked me.

"I don't know, but whatever it is, I'm not liking it."

"She might be able to give us a description of our perp." Alex offered.

I nodded, "Hopefully."

Alex and I walked into the one – six with Lucy. I walked the girl through to the soft interview room, Alex sat next to me. "Lucy, I need to ask you some questions, are you up for that?"

"No." Lucy spat suddenly. "Don't talk to me like I'm a victim, I can handle myself and this crap. I don't want to make a statement, and I don't want to be here."

I looked at Alex and must have given her a look, I was shocked and didn't know what to say. "Lucy, you are a victim, you've been raped."

Lucy scrunched up her face, "No I didn't, I wanted to have sex."

"Okay Lucy, can you tell me who you had sex with?" I felt sick as this little girl started talking like a perp rather than a victim.

"No, anyway it wasn't just a man, it was a woman too. And I liked it. You can't do anything, so I'm going now."

"Okay, well we'll give you a ride home." I offered, it was actually a ploy to meet her parents.

"I'm a street kid. I don't have a family, no parents no nothing. I can walk."

I looked at Alex, she stood up and looked at me, then to Lucy. "Lucy, you're a minor, we therefore can't let you go. We need to put you in a foster placement."

"No! You can't do that. I'll do anything you want me to, just don't put me in care."

"Why?" Alex asked.

Lucy started to cry, "Because I have a baby sister. My mom ran off with her boyfriend and left me and Callie on our own. I'm the only person she has, I have to get back to her."

"Lucy, how old is Callie?" I asked.

"Six months." she replied finding her cold self again.

"Lucy, we can place you both together in foster care..." before I could finish my sentence Lucy was standing up screaming at me.

"NO! You can't take us! I won't let you."

"Lucy I want to help you, and your sister." I tried reasoning, but she wasn't having any of it. "It's not safe for either of you to be out on the streets. It's cold and there are people out there that will hurt you both and think nothing of it. Lucy, let us help you."

Lucy thought about what I was saying, "She called him Tony, then he slapped her and she said 'I'm sorry daddy.' She said I was too young, that the others were older than me but he didn't care, he had me in the back of the van and he raped me. The girl was upset, but she still let him do stuff to her when he was on top of me."

"Did he say her name?" I asked horrified.

"Sadie."

That was all I needed to hear to confirm that this was the same raping couple. "Lucy, when he'd finished raping you, did he say anything?"

"He asked for my address. I told him I didn't have one and he screamed at me. He started shouting that this wasn't part of the plan. So I told him a fake address, he calmed down and told me he was sending me a present in two days. Then I woke up in the hospital." Lucy looked at me, "Please bring my sister to me, she's at the women's shelter with Liberty."

I got in the car with Alex, I'd arranged Lucy to sit down with an sketch artist. Alex looked at me and smiled, "You'd make a great mom, you know that?"

I felt my cheeks blushing, "So would you."

"Yeah, you can be the soft parent and I'll be the disciplinarian."

"You thinking about us having kids already?" I said pulling away from the one – six.

"I think about a lot of things."
