Chapter 10

Livie stared at him "no" she said "no, no, you are not my father" he smiled at her "sorry sweetheart but I am, I got your mother pregnant when she was 18,Olivia not long after I met her, we were both pretty surprised by it, I told her to get rid of you but she refused, saying she couldn't, though she planned to give you up for adoption because there was no way she could look after you" he looked at her "I was mad at her I have to say, I told her I wasn't sticking around and I left her, I never heard anything about her until I was handed her picture and asked to put a bullet through her heart, I did my usual research, tracked her down where I saw you, I looked at you and realised that you had to be mine, there was no other explanation, I was surprised that she had kept you, after all how was she to support you at 19, I learned everything about her, how her mother had been killed, how she had become a cop, how her precious little secret daughter had been kidnapped"

Livie stared at him terrified, then he moved forward "no" she cried "no stay away from me" she scrambled backwards away from the others but he followed her and April and Tali backed away again, tears were streaming down Livie's cheeks as she scrambled into a corner and turned away from him, sobbing, he continued towards her, placing a hand on her shoulder but she pulled away angrily.

He frowned at her "I understand it is hard" he said "to hear it so suddenly, and to learn what your mom has been hiding from you over the years, I will give you some time to digest that" he stood and backed away from her watching her, his eyes hard, then he turned and left the room, shutting the door and locking it behind him.

Instantly Tali and April crawled over to Livie and wrapped their arms around her as she cried "shh Livie" April whispered "it's ok it's ok" "he can't be my father" she sobbed "he is probably lying" April whispered "but he knows so much about my mom" Livie whispered, "Livie don't worry" Tali whispered "it's ok, we are all going to be ok" but all of them felt growing dread inside of them now, this was not anything anyone had expected, nor something anyone was prepared for.

XOXOXO

Kate sighed as she awoke the next morning looking around, trying not to let the pain crush her again, she was still lying on top of Rick as was Alexis, and his shirt had two wet patches on it from their tears, looking over she saw Booth still held Brennan and Libby tightly but Ziva was sleeping on her own still clutching AJ but the tiny boy was beginning to stir in his sleep mumbling, Tony was nowhere to be seen. Slowly Kate sat up careful not to wake Rick and Alexis and moved over picking the baby up not wanting him to wake Ziva, the young Israeli shifted in her sleep and mumbled Tali's name before slipping back into a deep sleep.

Kate carried AJ out of the office bouncing him gently as he mumbled, then he rested her head on her shoulder and settled back down and closing his eyes, she walked around slowly trying to keep her mind busy and she focused on sending the little boy back to sleep, once his grip on her shirt had lessened as he dozed off she looked up and spotted Tony sitting on the top platform, slowly and quietly she made her way up there.

He was sitting on a sofa staring at a picture of his family as though wishing he could go back to that day when they were happy, he was different now, he wasn't the cheeky prank loving agent he had been before this mess, he was a broken family man who had lost part of his family and was struggling to cling onto the other part as Ziva slipped away deep into her pain.

He looked up as she approached, staring blankly at her before registering that she had his son "hey" he said "did he wake you" Kate shook her head as she sat down next to him, shifting AJ into a more comfortable position "no I was already awake, I just didn't want him to wake everyone else, they need as much sleep as they can get" he nodded "couldn't sleep any more either" she shook her head again, then she glanced at the photo in his hand, it showed the four of them all grinning at the camera sitting in the grass, he had one arm round Tali grinning down at her, his daughter was laughing as he tickled her in the stomach, her eyes shining at the camera a huge grin on her face as she leaned against her dad, his other arm was around Ziva who leaned against him hugging Aiden to her chest smiling down at him as he giggled and clapped his hands at whoever was taking the photo.

Tony traced his thumb over Tali's smiling face and sighed "you would think that I would be used to this by now" he said softly "I mean over the last year and a bit I have had Tali ripped from me more times than a father should have to have his child ripped away in a life time, Tali is a magnet for danger I swear and I should be used to it by now but it doesn't get any easier" Kate reached out and took his hand squeezing it gently "Tali is strong" she said softly "hell I have never seen any child stronger than her, she can get through this, you know she can", very carefully she slipped his sleeping son into his arms and a small smile slipped across his face and he nodded to her "how are you coping" he asked looking up at her.

She sighed and ducked her head "not good" she mumbled "I hate how the last words I spoke to my daughter were words of hate and anger, and I might never get to tell her how sorry I am" he looked at her "Kate" he said softly, she looked into his gentle green eyes "Livie knows you didn't mean those things, she loves you so much, all of them are going to get through this, they are strong girls, put the three of them together and I know that they will look after each other" Kate gave a small smile and they both sat in silence for a minute.

"I think it has to be hard on Brennan and Booth" Tony said, she looked at him "Alexis understands enough, AJ doesn't understand a thing but Libby, god she is right at that age, too young to know the truth, but too old to be kept completely out of it, she knows something is wrong and that we are lying to her but we can't tell her the truth" Kate nodded "you're right" she said

"you know I had another partner before Ziva" Tony said suddenly "her name was Cait too" Kate looked at him "what happened to her" she asked, he sighed "she was killed, shot through the head by a sniper" he looked at her "you want to know the worst part" she looked at him again "her killer, Ari Haswari, he was Ziva's paternal half-brother" Kate stared at him, "was" she questioned "he was killed" he said softly "not many people know this, they think Gibbs killed him but it was actually Ziva, she shot him protecting Gibbs" she looked at him before giving him a sad smile "what was Cait like" she asked, a small smile slipped onto her face "a lot like you" he said "strong and confident, very snarky, well to me she was but I drove her up the wall, annoying her to hell, she was like a sister to me, I can still feel the cast off blood spray up into my face as I watch her crumple to the ground, that is why I hate snipers, I hate how easily they can take a life and how easily they can tear a family in too, NCIS is my family"

Kate squeezed his hand comfortingly "we named Tali after her" he said "her full name is Talia Kaitlyn, Talia was the name of Ziva's little sister, she died in a bomb explosion" Kate smiled "Livie's full name is Olivia Johanna" she said "after my mom" he gave her a weak smile "and isn't April's full name April Christine" he said "after Brennan's mom" she nodded "we all named out children after strong people who meant a lot to us, and our children are strong" he said looking at her "they are going to get through this, together, because they are going to keep their namesakes memories alive" Kate nodded and for a moment she felt slightly more confident.

They headed back down in time to see Ziva exiting the office, she looked tired but worried, though she relaxed when she saw Aiden with Tony, Gibbs appeared through the door just then holding a large bag of food, he moved over and kissed Ziva's head "I stopped by your home" he said "picked up some things for you and saw to the dog" Ziva smiled "thank you" she whispered, he nodded and hugged her gently.

Kate saw Rick standing in the doorway looking at her, slowly she moved over to hug him tightly, he rubbed her back comfortingly holding her tight, her phone dinged then and she pulled it out to see that she had a text from Lanie saying that they hadn't been able to get a flight at such short notice but they were driving down now, so they would be here by this evening at the earliest and she asked if they had heard anything, Kate responded that they had heard nothing and to drive safe, then she looked at Rick who kissed her gently "you ok" he asked "been better" she mumbled and he smiled weakly at her.

They moved back into the office and placed the food Gibbs had bought on the table, by now, Brennan and Booth were awake, as was Libby, the little girl was sitting on the sofa not speaking, staring at the floor, it took a while for them to persuade her to eat.

They all sat quietly picking at the food, nobody felt like eating. Once they had all forced as much as they could bear to stomach down they turned back to the boards looking at what they had, when your children were missing it looked like even less than before. "right" Gibbs said, taking over point as the only leader without a child missing though they could still see the pain in his eyes "we know the barstard is watching us, so until McGee puts up extra firewalls we don't use computers ok" everyone nodded "so" he said "what do we have"

"security tapes from the fairground" Tony said quietly holding up some DVDs "you ok to watch them" Gibbs asked, he nodded and stood heading over to a TV in the corner and he slotted the disk in and picked up the remote, he sat down and stared at the screen, slowly Rick moved over and sat down next to him to help.

"anything else" Gibbs asked "evidence" Booth said "the crime scene guys collected it from the bench and the places where we found the phones, Hodgins can run it, and why don't you bring your forensic scientist in" Gibbs nodded "Ziver" he said pronouncing Ziva's name in a way she only let him use, he looked at her with his bright blue eyes "why don't you call Abby" he said softly, she nodded and slowly stood, she placed AJ on the rug in the middle of the room with some toys before heading out of the room pulling out her phone.

"McGee put the best firewalls you can up" Gibbs said "then I want you to get traffic camera footage from anywhere around the fairground ok" McGee nodded and got to work. Quietly Brennan got up and headed towards the platform to work on the remains, no doubt to keep herself busy and Cam and Hodgins headed off to do their work too, Booth disappeared to call Sweets and get him to update his profile of their guy. Kate sighed before she moved over to sit with Rick and watch the footage, she saw Alexis slide onto the seat beside Libby to try and comfort the little girl and keep an eye on AJ for them.

They sat and watched the footage waiting for their daughters to appear and slowly they plotted the timeline of where they had gone, and they even watched the first part of their abduction, Tali swinging punch after punch, launching herself frantically at the men holding her friends assisting them to free themselves before the three of them bolted away from their abductors into the woods, the only way to get away. There had been no cameras where they had found Tali's knife and the tyre tracks, but they had taken a mould of them and hopefully when the NCIS forensic scientist Abby Sciuto arrived she would be able to tell them the make and model of the tyre and to which type of car they belonged to.

XOXOXO

They watched the footage from the fairground and traffic camera's for hours, barely stopping, they didn't notice the time slipping away until they heard a cry of "Kate" and Kate leapt up whirling round to see Lanie, Ryan and Esposito coming in followed by Booth who had obviously gone to gain them clearance.

Kate ran out of the office and the moment she saw her Lanie rushed forward catching her up into a big hug, the tears came out again as she hugged her best friend tightly as she whispered words of comfort, then Lanie stepped back allowing Ryan and Esposito to hug her murmuring comfortingly to her, she was surprised by how much better she felt now that they were here.

They made their introductions to everyone also meeting Abby Sciuto when she came in, she rushed straight over to Hodgins who looked shocked by the young Gothic scientist but accepted her help willingly.

Everyone went back into the office where to everyone's surprise Esposito went straight over to Libby and introduced himself to her, she sat and looked at him as he began to speak gently to her, but after a couple of minutes everyone was relieved to see a small smile creep onto her face and she quietly began to talk to him, Espo really had a way with kids when he wanted too, Kate decided

XOXOXO

Kate groaned in frustration and paced back and forth in Brennan's office, she had come in here for some privacy to think, the pain had subsided now, mostly she was now angry and frustrated, determined to get her daughter and the other two girls back. They had been missing nearly 48 hours and despite them pulling in every resource they had between them, they were nowhere closer to finding them than they had been before this whole mess started.

Her phone rang just then and she pulled it out expecting it to be Ryan or Esposito telling her that they had found nothing in their interviews and were on their way back, but it wasn't and her heart skipped a beat when she saw the name flashing on the screen, she almost punched the answer button gasping "Livie, Livie can you hear me Livie" there was no response "Livie" she tried again "no" said a deep smooth almost gentle voice "guess again"

Kate took a choking breath unable to speak, "how are you coping Kate" the voice asked "I bet you are missing your little girl loads, I bet you all are, I am sorry that I have to keep them from you, they are sweet girls really if you know how to keep them in line" Kate clutched the phone "where are they" she demanded "oh they are right here and unharmed aren't you my dears" "I want to talk to them" Kate demanded angrily "hmm no, not talk but check your phone" Kate pulled the phone away from her ear and saw that she had received a picture, trembling she clicked on to and gasped.

It showed the three girls crouched on the floor huddled protectively together, to her relief they were alive and relatively unharmed, Tali had a huge bruise on her forehead and a split lip, April had a slightly blackened eye, as for Livie, she looked the least harmed physically with a couple of marks where she might have been slapped but mentally she had been beaten, Kate could see that, her daughter was staring at the camera tears of misery still dribbling down her cheeks and her face was filled with shock and denial though Kate was not sure what about, they were all glowering at the camera, angry at their abductor, they were covered in dirt and hungry looking cowering together to protect each other from the cold.

Slowly she placed the phone back to her ear in time to see him say "see they are fine, all of them", she swallowed nervously "what do you want from us to get them back" she heard him chuckle "ah that was easy, tell me Kate do the others know you are talking to me, now don't lie remember I have them right here" Kate looked out into the lab, the others were in Angela's office "no" she said "they don't know I am talking to you, I am alone at the moment" "good" he praised "keep it that way" she sank onto the sofa as he continued "I want you to meet with me Kate, I want you and only you to meet me without the other's knowledge, I will discuss what I want in return for your girls then ok, you don't come and your little one will get hurt before the others"

Kate bit her lip, she could hear sounds in the background, it sounded like Livie crying out 'no', he snapped at her "shut up", quickly to divert him away from her daughter she said "I will meet with you, where and when" he laughed in delight "good girl Katie, you are doing the right thing, I will meet you by the reflecting pool in one hour, tell no one or I may have to hurt one of these little ones and they might come home with one less digit" "don't touch them" Kate snapped "any of them" he laughed again "aw very protective mama bear there Kate" he said "do you agree to the meeting" "I do" she said

"good" he said sounding very pleased "very good, now come unarmed as well, no guns no knives no nothing ok, and no phone, leave your phone at the lab if you would please" "fine" Kate snapped "anything else" "no that will do" he said lightly "see you alone in an hour Katie" and he hung up.

Kate slowly ended the call before she looked at the picture she had been sent, she stared at the faces of the three girls, sitting on the floor, Tony was right when he said that the three of them would look after each other, they clung to each other and April had positioned herself slightly in front of the other two, defensively, she was protecting her younger friends, Livie was holding onto Tali supporting the youngest who had obviously put up the most of a fight, but Tali was still tense ready to fight if need be, to protect her friends.

She sighed as she looked at them, then she lowered her phone to the table and placed it carefully on the hard surface, then she picked up a pen and a piece of paper and slowly began to write, when she was done she folded it up and placed it next to her phone, then she took her coat and slowly left the office, she paused as the doors swished open to allow her to leave and studied the group assembled, they were looking at traffic camera footage trying to spot their daughters in it, she sighed, they had become great friends to her and she was going to miss them when this thing ended, so she slipped out oblivious to them all, to go try help their daughters.

XO

Tali looked up at him as he hung up Livie's phone, his usual smug happy self, he grinned happily at Livie "that went well" he said, then he moved forward towards them and grabbed Livie pulling her away from them "stay back" he growled at Tali and April and he glared at them warningly as he produced a bunch of keys and proceeded to unlock the cuff around Livie's ankle.

Livie looked up in terror then something else flashed in her eye and her hand slowly slid up to her hair and they watched as it closed around something and came back down to her side, he finished unlocking her cuff he hauled her to her feet "where are you taking her" Tali shouted, he didn't respond he just began to drag her out, Livie struggled desperately before turning and tossing something back into the room towards Tali, instantly Tali reached out and caught hold if it closing her hand around it before bringing it back in as he turned around to glower at them before dragging Livie clear of the door and slamming it shut.

"Livie" they both shouted leaping up and running at the door as far as their chain would let them "dam it" April shouted angrily "we have to help her" Tali shouted "how, we can't even help ourselves" April shouted back, "that might not be true" Tali said quietly and April turned to look at her as Tali opened her hand and they both saw what Livie had risked her safety throwing at them.

A single bobby pin.

XO

Kate pulled up her car at the reflecting pool and sat for a minute breathing deeply, she looked down at her left hand and began to slowly twist her wedding rings around her finger nervously until the clock struck five to the hour and she slowly climbed out of the car and walked towards the pool, when she got there she stood at one end staring at the strip of reflective surface, showing the moon and the stars, she looked around, this was where it had all began, where they had first met NCIS and only a few hours later the Jeffersonion team, this was where it had begun, and this was where it would end.

She heard the sound of someone approaching and made to turn but before she could she was grabbed from behind and something suddenly restricted her airway as her attacker used a cord or something to throttle her, she gasped her hands going up to grab at it as she struggled, but he held the cord tightly pulling her body against his, and no matter how hard she scrabbled clawing at it she couldn't loosen it.

Just when she was beginning to think she would die here without getting to say goodbye to her little girl a voice spoke softly in her ear "I am glad you came Katie Kat, it has been to long", then the cord loosened and she fell to the floor unable to move as she sucked in great lungful's of air, weakly she shifted trying to roll over to see his face but it was shadowed by the hood he was wearing as he bent over her, he chuckled at her as he bent and lifted her up and to her horror he began to carry her off towards the road, she struggled weakly but to no avail, he carried her towards a big black SUV and opened the boot and placed her inside, he bound her wrists behind her back and placed a gag in her mouth, then he picked up a cloth and tied it over her eyes, blindfolding her.

Frantically she struggled and she heard him sigh "stop struggling Katie Kat, I am taking you to see your daughter" gasping through the gag though she continued to struggle until something was placed over her mouth and nose and the boot of the SUV lurched as the world spun, dizzy she fell still and she heard him chuckle "good girl" he said "now relax and get comfortable my darling, enjoy the journey" she heard the boot get slammed shut and felt the engine start underneath her and the car pulled away, she felt a tear of despair slide down her cheek and more soon followed until dizzy and weak she closed her eyes and fell unconscious.

XO

She awoke not long later and instantly realised they were no longer on the road, they were driving down an uneven dirt track that made the car shake, jerking her around, struggling to stay calm she struggled weakly straining against her bonds, trying to shift the blindfold but it had been tied on tight, everything was tight, the ropes bit into her wrists and the gag dug into the corners of her mouth.

She was still struggling when the car came to a sudden stop slamming her against the back seats knocking the air out of her, winded but still determined she continued to struggle until she heard the boot open and cold night air rushed in, she felt him grab her arm and she was jerked roughly out of the car to her feet, she stumbled and tried to get away but he held her tight, shutting the boot before he began to drag her forward, blindly she was lead forward into a building where she was thrown into a chair, she felt the gag come away and instantly she sucked in a deep breath ready to scream "don't bother Katie Kat" he said calmly "no one can hear you way out here" she dropped her head gasping until the blindfold was removed and she looked up at him terrified staring at him, he smiled at her and stood there as though he was waiting for something.

"where are they" she demanded "where are the girls" he looked at her for a minute before he leaned forward and grabbed her, yanking her up and he dragged her over to a corner where he pulled aside a rug to reveal a trap door, he opened it and forced her down the steps, she staggered and stumbled but he held her up, preventing her from falling, he led her to a door and pulled out some keys and slotted one into the door unlocking it, then she felt the ropes around her wrists being untied before he pushed the door open throwing her in, she heard to identical cries of "Kate" and she looked up as two girls rushed at her.

"April" she breathed in relief "Tali" she caught hold of them both pulling them into her arms hugging them both tightly as she heard the door shut and lock behind her. They hugged her tightly and she hugged them back relieved to know that they were alive "are you ok" she asked and she felt them nod before she pulled away to examine them gently examining their cuts and bruises "we're ok Kate" April mumbled, she looked at them "has he done anything else to you" he asked, to her relief they shook their heads.

Then she looked around "where's Livie" she asked quietly trying to keep the worry out of her voice, Tali and April looked at her and she could see the fear and worry in their eyes "he took her out of here" Tali said quietly and for the first time she looked scared, an average 13 year old girl rather than the one who had been broken and forced to fight, "he took her out of here after he hung up with you", Kate looked at them and sighed

"Kate" Tali said, she looked at her "you shouldn't have come Kate" she whispered. Kate looked at her "I had to" she said softly "I wasn't going to let him hurt any of you", April looked at her "we have been hurt before Kate" she said "we could have managed" Kate looked at them sadly "I wasn't going to take the risk" she whispered.

"You still shouldn't have come Kate" April said "why not" she asked, they both looked at her indecision on their faces, they knew something she didn't, they wanted to tell her, they just didn't know how too. They were saved by the door opening and he entered again, instantly Kate stood in front of the two girls, he looked at her "how sweet of you Katie Kat" he said "to protect to girls you barely know" she glared at him "now why don't you come with me darling" she stared at him as he held out his hand and came forward "come on" he coaxed "let's leave these two alone shall we" she stared at him breathing hard before she took an uncertain step forward, instantly April and Tali leapt forward "no Kate" Tali cried grabbing her arm as April leapt in front of her "leave her alone" she snapped "she is not yours anymore"

Before Kate could work out what April had meant by that he struck her hard across the cheek with an angry snarl, sending her flying, he moved towards Tali who was still clinging to Kate, but Kate pushed her back "no" she shouted raising her arms in front of them "I will come" she said defiantly and he stopped. Kate turned and moved towards April who was pushing herself into a sitting position dragging Tali behind her.

She caught hold of April "look at me" she said and slowly the girl did so, Kate looked at her gently "I will be fine" she said quietly "your parents will find you ok" April nodded "look after each other" Kate whispered gently kissing their foreheads "and Livie" they both nodded at her and she gave them the most convincing smile she could muster before she turned to look at him, he held out his hand to her but she ignored it and walked past him, into the hallway, he caught hold of her shoulder as he locked the door but she didn't fight him.

Then he pushed her forward and unlocked another door pushing her in so that she fell, she stumbled to catch herself, that was when she saw the small figure curled up by the wall with her back to them, lying unmoving.

"Livie" she breathed and she stumbled forward until she heard a click, then she froze "no closer or I shoot" he warned and slowly she turned round to stare at him pointing the gun at her, she glanced down at Livie, her daughter wasn't moving, she lay there eyes closed, breathing slowly and deeply, she looked back at their captor "what did you do to her" she snarled, he raised his eyebrows "I simply gave her a drug to get her to calm down, she wasn't very happy when I took her away from her friends and told her that I was going to go get you, she started screaming bloody murder at me, I didn't want her to hurt herself so I knocked her out with a drug, it should be wearing off soon"

He moved towards her but she raised a hand "stay back" she hissed as he approached, and suddenly he smiled "ah same feisty attitude is still there Katie Kat" she stared at him "what" she said, "you don't remember me do you my darling" he said, she stared at him in confusion as he approached again "don't come any closer" she warned, he laughed "oh Kate the last time I saw you, you were asking me to get closer" he smiled at her "a lot closer". Kate stared at him and then suddenly it hit her and she gasped as the memories came flooding back, the passion, the love, the laughter, the smiles, the feeling that she had with him that she was the only girl in the world. Until her life changed and when she needed him most, he left her and not only her.

"Adam" she gasped in shock and his smile widened "long times no see Katie Kat" he said grinning, her breathing got faster and faster as she stared at him in shock, he leered at her "you're looking good Detective Kate Beckett" he paused "or is it Detective Kate Castle now".

She didn't respond, she just stared at him before finding her voice "what the hell Adam" she screamed "you abandoned me, you kill people for a living, you tried to kill me, you start killing people for the fun of it, to tease us, you kidnapped three girls…oh". She remembered her daughter still lying behind her and she whirled round to face her.

The pain her daughter had had written across her face in the picture, the confusion and denial, April and Tali wanting to tell her something but not knowing how to. Kate felt tears trickle down her cheeks, she saw Adam smirking "you told her" she whispered, she was horrified, she had never told Livie, to protect her from him, he had always had a temper, she didn't want him anywhere near her daughter. She whirled round to face him again "what did you tell her" she hissed, "oh I told her everything" he said "about how we were in love, about how you became pregnant at 18, how you told me you didn't want our baby, how you were going to turn your back on her and give her away like some animal"

Kate stared at him angrily as he stared at her, neither of them noticed that Livie had begun to stir, her eyelids fluttering, she lay still though when she heard the voices above her.

"did you tell her about how you turned your back on us" Kate hissed "how you left me the moment you found out I was pregnant" he smiled "yes" he said calmly "I told her that", he looked at Livie "I told her how she was an accident, how you were distraught when you found out you were pregnant" "I was 18 years old" Kate snarled "I had nothing, nowhere to live, no means of supporting myself, there was no way I could have cared for a baby, no thanks to you" she glared at him "I needed you Adam, I needed your help, but you turned your back on me and treated me like trash the moment I told you" he smiled "I was young too Kate" he said "young and eager to get every life experience, a baby would have held me back" he looked at her "I mean look at you, you could have been anything but no, you became a cop, talk about taking any job you could get"

"I wanted to be a cop" Kate shouted "I wanted to help people, to catch the bad guys like you and stop them hurting more people" "bang up job you have done of catching me" he said "I believe it is the other way round, I caught you" she glared at him angrily "you are a coward Adam" she said "taking three young girls because you were afraid of us, that is nothing but cowardly" he looked at her "I am not a coward Katie Kat" "stop calling me that" she screamed, he ignored her and carried on "I am not a coward, I think I was rather inventive myself, I wanted you Katie, I wanted you and obviously the easiest way to get you is through your daughter, I admit yes the others were getting close, and I took the other two girls as leverage, but now that I have you, I have no further use for them"

Kate stared at him; he wasn't seriously going to kill April and Tali was he? "What do you want with me" she asked, instantly he moved forward catching hold of her "I want you to acknowledge that she is mine" he said forcing her head round to look at Livie, "I want her to be mine, I want to be able to see her, I have a right to do so, I mean I am her father" Kate glared at him "maybe you should have thought about that before you walked out on her before she was even born" she hissed "you have done nothing for her for the past 14 years, why do you want her all of a sudden"

"Because she is mine" he said simply, she stared at him before realising what he meant "you are jealous" she said, he snorted "why would I be jealous" he said, "because you found out I got married" she said "you were always very possessive of what you considered to be yours, and now that I have found someone you are possessive" he looked at her "might have had a part to play in it" he said "but actually the main reason I never had anything to do with her for 14 years was because I didn't know you were going to keep her, you told me you would get rid of her, then I was asked to kill you, I tracked you down and saw her, and realised you had kept her" Kate stared at him "you really think that I am going to let you be a part of her life" she said "after you killed people and kidnapped her and drugged her, you are crazy Adam" he looked at her "we shall see" he said "have you ever considered that she might want a father"

Kate stared at him and he smiled "I had better go check on the others" he said "don't you touch them" Kate snapped at him, he smiled at her "I won't" he said "not yet anyway" and with that he left, locking the door firmly behind him.

Instantly Kate flung herself down on her knees beside her daughter, gently reaching out to brush hair out of her face, tears were streaming down her cheeks as she stroked her little girl's cheek, she was icy cold to the touch. She let out a sob and placed her head in her hands and cried, but not for herself, for her innocent little girl.

"mommy" she looked over as Livie slowly rolled onto her back blinking groggily up at her, "oh Livie" she gasped and instantly she pulled Livie up into her arms hugging her tightly as Livie weakly clung to her, "no you shouldn't have come" Livie sobbed, "I know" Kate whispered stroking her hair "but I had to honey" Livie clung to her before pulling away "so it's true" she whispered, Kate looked at her miserably "yes it is true" she whispered, Livie's face crumpled "I was hoping it wasn't true" she whispered "I wish it wasn't true too Livs" Kate whispered as Livie's shoulders wracked with sobs "I really wish it wasn't true"

They sat there clinging to each other before Livie sighed "so everything he told me was true" she said, she looked up at her mom "I heard you two arguing just now" she mumbled, Kate blinked back tears "yes" she whispered "I won't lie to you anymore Livie" her daughter looked up at her "you have never lied to me about him mommy" she whispered back "you protected me from him" Kate sighed and looked at her little girl.

"you have heard his side" she said softly "do you want to hear the truth, or my side of what happened, I won't lie, I will tell you everything baby, if you want to know" Livie looked at her "he didn't force you did he" she asked her eyes wide, Kate hurriedly shook her head "no" she said "when I knew him he was a kind sweet loving man, I thought I was in love with him" Livie looked at her "yes" she said "I would like to know" Kate took a deep breath and nodded, she kissed the top of her daughter's head before she leaned back against the wall and whispered "I will tell you my story…"

Hope you liked it, next time we get the truth about Kate's past...
