CHAPTER 1
Around Season 2.
Cragen had just broke the news to Olivia about her mother's death, and she just walked out of the precint and found herself driving to her apartment. It's not clear how long she was sitting on her couch for but when she finally came to it, she picked up her phone and scrolled to a contact number.
She was hesitant to dial call. She finally dialed and it was ringing, someone picked up; "Somebody better be dying Liv, it's 3 am." Says the sleepy voice.
"Its mom, you need to come home." Says Olivia. There was silence between Olivia and the receiver.
The next morning Olivia was in her kitchen still wearing pj's , making coffee, when she was startled by the sound of keys in the key hole and finally the door opened. A young woman walked in pushing a suitcase. They just stared at each other for a minute before they walked towards each other and hugged.
"She is dead, isn't it?". Olivia nods, with teary eyes. "What happened, Liv?"
Olivia compose herself and walk towards the coffee machine and taking out a second cup from the top cupboard. "She fell down a flight of subway stairs outside the entrance to a bar."
"Well I can't say I am not surprised." She pulls out a stool and sits by the counter. "Besides coffee, am I getting a nice welcome home breakfast?"
Olivia grab a bowl and a box of cereal then puts it in front the young woman and points to the fridge. "You know where the milk."
The woman scrowl as she walks to the fridge. "So what are we suppose to do now?" "We have never planned a funeral before"
As the woman pours her cereal, Olivia passes the other cup to her and just watches her with sadness but also with a face with no answers. The woman continues stirring her bowl of cereal till she broke the silence.
"I thought I feel something or even shed a tear but I don't know how. Or if I am suppose to cry now or later. Is it wrong that I am relieved?" says the woman.
A month later….
Olivia and Elliot were in the car driving to question a witness on a lead, Elliot was driving. Olivia's phone kept beeping with texts.
"So when does Michelle go back to London?" asks Elliot.
"I hope soon, cause she is getting on my nerves. She texts more than when she is away." Listen to this; "What are we having for dinner?" "Are we eating in or out?" "which restaurant; Chinese or Italian?" "I am down for pizza even and beer" "I think the little mold near your bathroom tap could be serious, I'm going to the store to get supplies and clean it out." "Do you need me to grab something for you?" "I know you can see the texts Liv"
Elliot laughs; She is just trying to spend time with you and I remember you mumbling how you missed having her around.
