Chapter 6

POV of Olivia Benson

When Carisi and I interrogated David Haden about raping my daughter, he denied it of course. After we presented the evidence, Haden cracked like an egg. He admitted to not only raping Susan once but twice. I swear I wanted to punch the shit out of him. I can't believe he did that to my little girl. I jumped out of my seat, making it skid across the floor behind me. Carisi made me leave the room. Susan was sitting in the squad room with Amanda and Fin talking. When she saw the look on my face, she immediately began to cry. I went over to her and hugged her tightly, kissing her hair.

"Baby, calm down. Please. I'm just upset at Haden for saying he raped you twice."

Fin jumped up and threw his desk chair across the room. Amanda and Susan both jumped. I just buried my face in Susan's hair and held her as I rubbed her back trying to calm her down. Hell, I was trying to stay calm myself. A few people walked in. When Fin saw who they were, he tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up. I was shocked to see Don, John Munch, Alex Cabot, and Casey Novak watching us.

"Olivia, what's this I hear on the news that your daughter has been raped?"

Don sees Susan in my arms still crying. He stares at her.

"Is this Susan, Liv? She's beautiful."

I smiled down at my little girl. She is beautiful. I slowly led her over to where the others were standing.

'Baby, these are some people who used to work here too. This is Alex, Casey, Capt. Cragen, and John Munch. They care about me."

Susan smiled at them.

"It's nice to meet you all. I-"

Susan stops when she sees someone walk into the squad room. I freeze when I recognize Brian Cassidy glaring at me. I push Susan towards Amanda. Susan doesn't want to be away from me but Amanda holds her tightly while Brian follows me into my office. He slams the door behind him, causing me to jump out of my skin. I turn to look at him. His eyes are on fire as he stares at me.

"Bri. I wanted to-"

He cuts me off when he pulls me against him. At first, I just stand there as he holds me. He begins to cry. I finally wrap my arms around him holding him as he cries. He kisses my hair softly.

"Liv, I heard on the news what happened. I'm sorry for scaring you like that. I'm so sorry."

I just hold him tightly. I kiss his cheek softly.

"I know, Bri. But you didn't hear who hurt Susan, did you?"

Brian just continues to cry. We stand in each other's arms for what seems like forever. I hear the door open. Susan walks in staring.

"Mom, is this Dad?"

Brian turns and looks at Susan. He smiles. Susan walks towards us. Brian wraps his arms around her. Susan hugs him back. I smile as I watch them.

"Guys, we should get out of here before I kill Haden."

Brian looks at me in shock.

"Liv, Haden raped our daughter?'

I nodded. Brian stormed out.

"Brian! Don't do anything stupid!"
