The next afternoon, everyone was surprised when Fin's son, Ken, walked into the precinct accompanied by his husband, Alejandro, and their son Jaden. Olivia greeted the two men and smiled at the baby who smiled back at her.

"I need my dad." Ken said, looking upset.

"He's in Interrogation One, I'll pull him out." Elliot got up from his desk.

"I'll take this little guy to play in the kids' interview room. Come here, sweetheart. Shhhhhhhhhh." Amanda took the baby from Alejandro's arms and turned to walk away, soothing him as he fussed a little.

"Hey, man. Long time, no see." Fin walked in and greeted Ken with a hug and then turned to greet Alejandro. "Where's little man?"

"Amanda took him to the kids' room. We came straight here, we need your help. We were grocery shopping on sixth and Colfax, and I got this weird text. We thought somebody was messing with us, but none of our friends sent it." Ken pulled out his phone.

I'm watching you no matter where you go.

"We're putting you guys and Jaden up in a hotel. I'll pay for it." Fin said immediately.

"What's going on?" Alejandro asked.

"We're dealing with an escaped psycho who somehow is getting a hold of our cell phone numbers to try to intimidate us into leaving her alone, and apparently she's not above harassing our families either." Fin explained.

"Can we have the phone to put a trace on the text?" Olivia held out her phone.

"I need it for work." Alejandro hesitated.

"You don't have to leave it here, it won't take that long if you guys want to just hang out for a little while." Olivia explained.

Olivia took the phone and called Morales.

"I'm afraid you've got the same problem as before, detectives. The text was sent from a phone belonging to someone named Sarah McPherson. This time around, I tried to find a location on the phone, but the signal is bouncing all over the place, the phone could be anywhere." Morales said.

"Could this phone have the same virus as the one that was used in the Maria Recinos case?" Olivia asked, thinking back to her time as a detective.

"More than likely. It won't take that long to get the virus removed, let me make a call downstairs."

When Morales had done his job and removed the virus connected to the phone that was registered to Sarah McPherson, the detectives thanked him and he left.

"Now we just have to wait for Melissa to text or call another one of us before we can figure out where she is." Elliot said.

"Can't we just call the number the text came from?" Ken asked.

"We can only get a location on the phone when it makes calls or texts, not when it receives them." Olivia said, "But you guys are free to get Jaden and be on your way to a hotel. I promise we will do everything in our power to make your stay there as short as possible."

"Your dad's mellowed out a lot in his old age." Alejandro commented as they walked into their hotel room.

"I guess that's the beauty of becoming a grandparent." Ken laughed as he walked in and set Jaden down on his feet.

"'Toons!" Jaden cheered happily as he eagerly toddled toward the TV, losing his balance in his pursuit and plopping down on his bottom, "Dada, 'toons!" In his eagerness, Jaden decided to skip walking and just crawl to the TV.

"We've got to figure this out, Captain, who knows which one of us is gonna get hit next. Melissa's clearly on the warpath, she's not gonna stop until we find her." Fin said.

"Did you have any luck talking to Chad Roper?" Olivia asked.

"None. He flat out denies flirting with Melissa, or any other inmate, or forging Nabeel's signature, and he immediately wanted his union rep when I asked for his signature to compare to the writing on the transfer order, which is sketchy in my book, but I didn't have too much time to think about it when Elliot told me that Ken And Alejandro were here with the baby."

When it was time to clock out for the day, Olivia drove to Cragen's apartment and let herself in as usual, and was greeted by the sight of Grace asleep on the couch. Olivia carefully sat down next to Grace's sleeping form and slipped a gentle hand underneath Grace's t-shirt to lovingly rub Grace's belly to rouse her.

"Grace. Wake up, my baby, it's time to go home. Let me see those pretty eyes." Olivia coaxed.

"Feels good." Grace mumbled in her sleep. She began to stir and her big blue eyes slowly fluttered open, gazing about the room before they focused on her Mistress's loving face.

"Hello, there, sleeping beauty. Where's Eileen?" Olivia continued to rub Grace's belly to keep her calm.

"Was in the kitchen." Grace replied as she sleepily rubbed her face.

"Were you a good girl today?"

"Yes, Ma'am… um… mostly. I got grumpy and disrespectful, so Eileen said I had to take a nap." Grace blushed lightly.

"I see."

At that moment, Eileen walked into the apartment with a basket full of laundry on her hip.

"Hello, my darlings." Eileen smiled, "I just had to go down to collect the laundry. How was your nap, dear? You've been sleeping for nearly two hours."

"It was fine, thank you, Ma'am. I'm sorry I disrespected you." Grace apologized genuinely, and Olivia gave her belly a gentle rub of approval.

"I forgive you, dear. We all get grumpy sometimes, I'm glad to see that a pop on the bottom and a nap helped. Would you girls care for tea before you leave?"

"Thanks, Eileen, but I think it's time I get this little one home." Olivia said kindly.

"Ma'am? Are you going to spank me for being disrespectful to Eileen?" Grace asked hesitantly from the passenger seat of the car on the drive home, prepared for Olivia to tell her that she was going to get a spanking. Olivia contemplated Grace's question.

"No. Eileen already popped your naughty bottom, I see no reason to do so again. However, when we get home I am going to wash your mouth out with soap to help you remember to keep a civil tongue in the future. If you are disrespectful in the future, toward me or toward anyone else, I will spank you before I wash your mouth out with soap. Whether you are feeling grumpy or not, you are in control of your behavior and I expect you to mind your tongue, especially towards those who have been given authority over you. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Ma'am." Grace struggled to blink back the tears that suddenly filled her big blue eyes, and Olivia reached over to hold her hand.

"Thinking about it is worse than doing it, I promise you. You survived your first spanking, you survived your first time on restriction, and I promise you will survive your first mouthsoaping. It's going to happen and then it will be over and I will hold you if you want me to." Olivia explained gently.

"Even though it's not a spanking?" Grace asked.

"It's still a punishment, and I will always hold you after any kind of punishment until you feel better if you want me to, even if it's just a time-out in your corner. I love you, baby, I'm not punishing you to be mean or because I'm angry, I'm doing it to help you learn. I understand that getting punished is hard, and I am here to support you through it, not just to administer it."

When they arrived home and Grace had shed her clothes down to her underwear, she squeaked when Olivia took a gentle but dominant hold of her hair and guided her through the apartment into the bathroom. Grace sat down on the closed toilet seat lid when she was instructed to do so and watched nervously as Olivia prepared a cloth with soap suds. With the cloth in one hand, Olivia turned to Grace and placed her other hand on the nape of her neck.

"All right, I want you to open your mouth and breathe through your nose. Keep your mouth open and don't close it until I am done, and don't pull away from me. When I am done washing your mouth out, you are going to hold the bar of soap in your mouth for a few minutes, and then your punishment will be over and you can rinse your mouth with water." Olivia explained.

With tears beginning to stream down her pretty face, Grace squeezed her eyes closed and obediently opened her mouth. She immediately gagged on the foul taste of ivory. Olivia thoroughly scrubbed the inside of Grace's mouth, including her tongue, the sides of her mouth, and against her teeth. When Olivia deemed that Grace's mouth had been sufficiently scrubbed, she removed the cloth and placed the bar of soap in Grace's mouth, causing the submissive brunette's tears to fall harder. Grace was grateful when Olivia gently guided her to rest her head against her hip and held her hand to support her through the ordeal while gently stroking her long brown hair with her other hand. The young submissive listened while her Mistress delivered a scolding lecture on the importance of speaking respectfully, and since she couldn't speak with the soap in her mouth, Grace instead nodded her understanding. After what seemed like forever, Olivia finally removed the bar of soap from Grace's mouth.

"Okay, sweetheart, all done. You can go to the sink now and rinse with water." Olivia gently kissed Grace's forehead and stepped aside to allow her access to the sink.

Grace hurried to the sink and spent several minutes rinsing her mouth with water. Finally, she accepted the fact that the awful taste wasn't going to go away completely, and she turned the water off. Feeling strangely emotional over the whole ordeal, she burst into heavy tears and turned to bury her face on Olivia's shoulder, immediately feeling Olivia's strong arms wrap around her protectively. She hadn't anticipated feeling this way over a punishment that wasn't a spanking, but she really wanted her Mistress to hold her now.

"Such a good girl. I know that was hard, my baby, come here and I will hold you."

Olivia led Grace out to the couch where she sat down and cuddled her crying submissive on her lap. Grace wasn't crying nearly as hard as she would have if she had gotten a spanking, but she still appreciated her Mistress taking the time to cuddle her and comfort her and reassure her. Grace laid her head on Olivia's shoulder and cried while Olivia's gentle hand lovingly rubbed her back.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. I'll be a good girl." Grace wept sadly.

"I know, sweetheart. You just relax now, my good girl is all forgiven. That's my good girl. I love you, baby, I'm so proud of you. You were very good and very brave."

It didn't take very long before Grace stopped crying, but she stayed cuddled in Olivia's arms, now embarrassed, and Olivia seemed to sense her embarrassment.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, little one, it's just you and me here. You were punished and forgiven, that's the only thing that happened today and you have no reason to be embarrassed. You have a clean slate, as if nothing ever happened, just the same as always."

"Yes, Ma'am. Please rub my bottom." Grace requested quietly, and the hand that had previously been rubbing her back now moved down to gently rub her panty-clad bottom. Olivia cuddled Grace close to her heart and rubbed her bottom while Grace snuggled down into her arms and sighed happily, having no intention of moving for a while.

That night, Olivia soothed Grace to sleep at the foot of the bed and then crawled into bed herself to go to sleep. In the middle of the night, Olivia's cell phone rang, startling both women out of their slumber. Olivia rolled over and reached for her phone.

"Benson." Olivia had to quickly pull her phone away from her ear when she was once again startled as she was greeted by Elliot yelling a string of obscenities. "Elliot. Elliot! Calm down, what happened?" Olivia listened carefully, "Okay, I'm on my way."

Olivia quickly got dressed and then she kissed Grace's head and rubbed her bottom for a few minutes to soothe her after being startled awake.

"Such a good girl. I have to go to work, baby. Go back to sleep now and don't open the door for anyone unless you hear the special knock, I'm going to have Eileen come pick you up later. I'll call you when I can, I love you."

"I love you, Ma'am." Grace replied, and settled down to go back to sleep in her spot at the end of the bed.

Olivia ran outside and cursed under her breath when she realized it was starting to pour down rain. She drove as fast as she safely could and pulled up in front of Elliot's house, seeing that all the lights were on and the rest of her squad was already there, and she was pleased to see that somebody had already called Morales. She ran up the front steps and let herself into the house. She found everyone in the living room; Kathy was sitting on the couch sobbing and Elliot was sitting beside her looking livid while Olivia's squad attempted to comfort Kathy and four of the five Stabler children stood around looking sleepy, confused, and frightened.
