Elliot stared at his sleeping daughter. He was sitting in the rocking chair in her room just watching her. She had been abused; she was a victim. He didn't want his daughter to go up on that stand. If Mike was out of the court room, that'd be better. Summer couldn't even look at Mike's photo without gripping onto him for dear life.

He wished that he had never met Mike. He wished his daughter had never seen him in her entire life. His daughter wouldn't be scared to let go of his hand when they went to different places where Mike had been. There were so many signs, but he didn't see them. Why didn't he see them?

Whenever they picked Summer up from Mike's, she would cling to either Olivia or himself. She would always be gloomy the entire day. If they mentioned Mike's name, she would snap herself to attention to make sure he wasn't coming by. She hated going there every time they brought it up.

Just then, there was a light tap on the door and Olivia walked in. The light from the hallway flooded into the room. "El, let's go to bed."

Elliot looked at his wife and held his arm out for her. She walked over to him and sat in his lap when he brought his hand over her hip. He kissed her shoulder. "I just don't want to leave her; that's all."

Olivia smiled sadly and looked into her husband's eyes. She knew he blamed himself for what happened to Summer. She blamed herself too. She didn't see the signs. They work sex crimes and they didn't see the classic signs of child abuse. "I understand that." She breathed. "She's safe here. Nobody in this house wants to hurt her. I would love to stay and watch her all night, but...we still have two other kids we have to take care of. We need our sleep."

"Yeah, you're right." Elliot sighed and smirked. "You always are."

"Now you're learning." Olivia smiled and kissed his temple. "I love you."

Elliot looked into Olivia's eyes. "I love you too." He looked at his daughter again and smiled lightly. She looked so peaceful. "Let's go to bed."

The next morning, Olivia walked down the stairs carrying a sleeping Kendle. She smiled when she found Dickie and Summer on the couch watching TV. They were both huddled under the same blanket. She walked into the kitchen and saw Elliot sitting on the dining room table eating breakfast. "Morning." She smiled walking by.

Elliot kissed her forehead. "Morning gorgous." She rolled her eyes at him as he winked at her. "I am going to make you believe that someday. You are beautiful. Why can't you just except that?" He asked smiling.

"I only feel beautiful when I'm with you because I some how brain washed you into believing that." Olivia smirked and grabbed a bottle out of the fridge before giving it to Kendle. "By the way, Bernie called and is wondering what we want to do for Summer's birthday. I said I didn't know because you usually want to plan birthday parties." She smirked.

"Well, it is my specialty." Elliot grinned and hopped off the table. "You are going to be planning Summer's when she gets older because she isn't going to like Barbie forever."

Olivia laughed. "It'll probably turn into dance parties or kareoke parties. Pretty soon, she is going to want boys at these parties."

"No, we are not going to let her." Elliot said shaking his head. "I don't care how much she begs; she is not having boys here for her party."

"Oh shush!" Olivia chuckled. "As soon as she gives you her big puppy dog eyes, you go weak at the knees and wonder why you are denying her."

"Well, it's not my fault she has your puppy eyes. They are blue, but they are big like yours." Elliot said defending himself. "The boys don't have your puppy eyes though. I can say no every time."

Olivia smirked. "But, you won't." She kissed Kendle's head. "Yeah, Daddy won't say no to you either. He wants you to go out and date girls. Yeah, you're going to be a real ladies man, aren't you?"

"You got that right." Elliot grinned. He kissed her head and then looked at Kenle. "Yeah buddy, I'm going to show you how to get the ladies. I got your mom, so I'd say my skills are pretty good."

Kendle grinned and clapped his hands together. Elliot took him from Olivia as she laughed. "Daddy is a little full of himself, isn't he?"

"Hey, I got you, didn't I?" Elliot asked grinning and lightly bouncing Kendle on his hip.

"Yeah, you did. You'll have me forever." Olivia smiled and pecked his lips. "I still can't believe it has been seven years since we met in high school."

Elliot smiled. "But, they have been the best seven years of my life."

Olivia pecked his lips again. "Where's Beethoven?"

"He's over my right shoulder, in the hallway, eating Dickie's breakfast." Elliot grinned. "Dickie didn't really want oatmeal."

Olivia laughed watching Beethoven try to eat while keeping the bowl in place. "Beethoven?" He looked up at her with his ears perked and his mouth covered in oatmeal. "You need a bath." His tail started wagging. "Should Daddy give you a bath?" Beethoven ran to the back door, waiting for Elliot to come and let him out for his bath.

"I think Mommy should give him a bath." Elliot smirked.

"Nope, Daddy knows Dickie does not like oatmeal. He's not going to like it any time soon just because you want him to." Olivia chuckled taking Kendle from him and putting him down in the living room. "Dickie, do you want cheerios?"

"Yes!" Dickie yelled running into the kitchen. "Daddy gave me oatmeal."

"I know he did." Olivia said kissing his head. "Daddy knows better." She smirked at Elliot. "El, why don't you go get Summer? We have the day off. Maybe she'll want to help you."

Elliot smiled. "Good idea." He went into the living room to find Summer singing along with the TV. He grinned and leaned on the back of the couch. "Murmur?" She turned towards him and smiled. "You look like you're having fun dancing. Would you like to dance outside in your swim suit and help Daddy bathe Beethoven?"

Summer nodded. "Let's go!" She ran over to Elliot so that he could take her upstairs.

Olivia smiled watching Elliot use their daughter as an airplane while going up the stairs. She looked over to find Kendle smiling and walking towards her. "Hey buddy! What are you thinking about?" Kendle blew bubbles and smiled. "That's what I thought." She picked him up and kissed his head before going back into the kitchen. She ruffled Dickie's hair on the way by. "How is it little guy?"

"Good Momma." Dickie said with his mouth full. He glanced up at her and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "Hey Mommy?"

"Yes baby?" Olivia asked sitting Kendle down in his high chair.

"How come we can't go see uncle Mike?" Dickie asked.

Olivia opened her mouth, but then closed it. She looked towards the living room to make sure Elliot and Summer weren't coming down. Pulling out a chair, she sat down and leaned towards Dickie. "Uh, Mike hurt Summer badly. He's a very bad man, Dickie. We want you to stay away from him. Mike is going to go to jail because of what he did to Summer."

"He hurt Summer?" Dickie asked and looked towards the living room and then back at his mother. "I don't like him anymore."

Olivia smiled sadly at her son and kissed his forehead. "None of us really do. Hey, did Daddy take you shopping for your sister's birthday gift?" Dickie nodded. "Good." She brushed back her son's hair and looked into his eyes. "Dickie, did Mike ever hurt you?"

Dickie shook his head. "No, he would always leave with Summer and go into his room. Kendle and I slept in the other room." He took another bite of his cerel and looked at his mother. "Why?"

"No reason." Olivia said shaking her head.
