A/N: This is the 2nd part to the last chapter titled 'Trying to Move On'. I don't own any of the characters except my own.
A Mother's Worst Nightmare
Olivia had gotten ready for bed when she heard a knock at the door. She went to the door to see who it was. It was Trevor, so she answered it.
"Hey."
"Hey. Can we talk?"
"Of course."
Trevor walked in and they went to sit down on the sofa.
"What's going on?"
"I think we need to break up."
"What? Why?"
"Because I really don't think you love me the way I love you and I know a lot of what Justin was saying got to you."
"Trevor, I do love you."
"You don't. You're still hung up on Hank and you do care what he thinks. I've been thinking about this ever since I got home tonight. I still want to be in your life and if you need anything, you know can always call me."
"Are you sure this is really what you want?"
"It's for the best. Goodbye, Olivia."
Trevor kissed Olivia's cheek, got up and left. Olivia had tears running down her cheeks but deep down, she knew Trevor was right. She had a feeling that she was going to end up spending the rest of her life alone and miserable. She locked up again and headed into the bedroom after she looked in on the kids, who were both sound asleep. She ended up crying herself to sleep.
The next morning, Olivia got up and went to get ready for work. When she got out of the shower, she made sure Noah was up. Lucy was already there and had gotten breakfast ready for both kids, along with Noah's lunch. Olivia grabbed something to go and headed to the Precinct after she kissed both kids. Once the Noah was ready to go, Lucy and Sami walked him to school. As they were walking to school, someone came up behind them, knocked Lucy out and took both of the kids. It had been a slow morning for SVU. Olivia was in her office avoiding everyone and Fin and Carisi were at their desks doing paperwork. Olivia had gotten rid of all the evidence of yet another failed relationship that she had had in her office. Fin and Carisi could tell Olivia was in a mood, so they stayed away from her. Ed had come in.
"Tutuola. Carisi."
"Hey, Tucker. Liv's in a mood."
"Got it."
Ed went to her office and knocked on the door.
"What?"
Ed opened the door.
"You ok?"
"Not really. Trevor broke up with me last night."
"You two seemed to be going pretty strong."
"Yeah, I know. Hank's son, Justin showed up yesterday and we were talking. Trevor could tell that a lot of what he was saying was starting to get to me and I still have feelings for Hank. He is the father of my daughter."
"You probably always will have feelings for him whether you're together or not."
"Yeah, true. Trevor said that he doesn't think I love him the way he loves me. My life is so screwed up. I'll probably end up alone and miserable."
"You won't. I know we haven't always seen eye to eye and I came down hard on you and other members of SVU over the years but that doesn't mean I don't care. We started getting along better when you adopted Noah and I even asked you out but you were pregnant with Hank's baby at the time. If you need to talk, I'm here."
"Thanks. I really appreciate that."
Olivia's cell rang, so she answered it. Ed could tell it wasn't good news by the look on her face. Then she hung up.
"What's wrong?"
"That was Noah's school. He never showed up and they called to ask me if he was sick. I have a bad feeling about this."
Olivia tried calling Lucy but got her voice mail.
"FIN, CARISI!"
Fin and Carisi came into Olivia's office.
"What's goin' on Liv?"
"Noah's school just called asking if Noah was sick this morning. He never showed up at school. I called Lucy and she didn't answer. They walk to school all the time. Get someone to check the cameras on the route between my apartment and the school to see if we can find out what's going in."
"On it."
Fin and Carisi did as Olivia told them and then she tried Lucy again. Still no answer. Then her phone rang. This time it was the hospital. Olivia grabbed her coat, ran out the door and headed to the hospital. When she arrived, they told her where Lucy was.
"Lucy."
"Hey, Liv. I'm so sorry about all this."
"What happened?"
"We were walking Noah to school and the next thing I know, I woke up here."
"Where are Noah and Sami?"
"I don't know."
Olivia called Fin.
"Hey, Liv."
"The kids are missing."
"Oh, shit!"
"Put out an Amber Alert and see if you can get a hold of Erin Lindsay. I think Justin was staying with her. I need to call Hank."
"On it, Liv."
Olivia hung up.
"Liv, I am so sorry."
"It's not your fault."
Olivia found Hank's cell number and called him.
"Hey. Everything ok?"
"No. The kids are missing."
"What? What the hell happened?"
"Lucy and Sami walked Noah to school but the school called me and asked if Noah was sick because he never showed up. I called Lucy several times and got her voice mail. The hospital called me and told me Lucy was there. She remembers walking Noah to school and then waking up in the hospital. She doesn't know what happened. I told Fin to put out an Amber Alert. They are checking the cameras between my apartment and Noah's school. I told Fin to call Erin because I think Justin was staying with her."
"Justin is there?"
"Yeah. Hank, I need you. This is our daughter and my son."
"I'll get the squad and get on a plane as soon as we can."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Olivia hung up and headed back to the Precinct. By the time she got there, Erin and Justin were just arriving.
"Liv, what's going on?"
"I'm hoping Fin and Carisi have a lead by now. Hank said he was going to get the squad and get on a plane as soon as they can."
They went up to SVU.
"Anything?"
"We now have a suspect from the video."
They showed Olivia the picture and Erin and Justin both looked at it. Then they looked at each other.
"Shit! That's Bunny."
"Who's Bunny?"
"My mother. I can tell you her motive without even talking to her."
"What?"
"Revenge. She thinks Hank took me away from her, so she's getting back at him by taking his daughter from him. She was probably having him followed. Liv, I feel responsible for all this."
"Don't blame yourself. Fin, update the Amber Alert."
"Got it."
Erin gave Fin the info on Bunny and then they had the Amber Alert updated. Olivia texted Hank about what they knew. Then her phone rang.
"Bunny Fletcher took Sami?"
"That's what the video showed and Erin identified her. She said she already knows the motive without talking to her."
"Revenge on me for supposedly taking her daughter from her. She takes my daughter. I am so sorry about all this."
"It's not your fault. I am just so scared. What if I never see either of them again?"
"Don't think that way, ok?"
"I can't help it."
Olivia was in tears and couldn't even speak. Justin took the phone and finished the conversation with Hank before he hung up. Olivia was sitting in her office with her head in her hands. Fin went into her office.
"Do you want me to call Langan?"
"No. We broke up last night. He said he didn't think I loved him as much as he loved me and he knows that Hank is always going to be a factor in our relationship. I love him but a part of me is still holding out for Hank. I want us to raise Sami together and that is what I have wanted all along. I just need to convince Hank of that."
"You can't force the guy to love you, Liv."
"I know that. Right now, I need to concentrate on getting my kids back."
"I'm takin' the case over. You need to keep your head on straight."
"Thank you."
"No problem."
Fin, Carisi and every available Patrol Officer went out looking for and asking questions about Noah and Sami. Erin contacted her Boss at the FBI and they were more than happy to lend a hand. Erin and Justin stayed at the Precinct with Olivia. Several hours later, the group from Chicago arrived in New York and Hank was not happy. He wasn't upset with Olivia or with Lucy but he was upset that his daughter had been kidnapped in broad daylight. They got their bags and headed to the Precinct after they got their cars. When they arrived, they went upstairs to SVU.
"Any leads yet?"
"Other than what we already know, no. Fin, Carisi, every available Patrol Officer in the NYPD and the FBI are out searching and asking questions. They have already notified the 3 area airports, the bus and train stations and all the area cab companies. The Port Authority Police, New York State Police, New Jersey State Police and some of the local authorities in New Jersey have been notified as well."
"CPD is aware of it in case she comes back into Chicago. The Illinois State Police and the State Police in the surrounding states have also been notified."
"Ok. I can't concentrate on anything. Maybe you were right. I am a bad mother."
"I never said you were a bad mother."
"What kind of mother allows her children to be kidnapped?"
"It could have happened to anyone. We both deal with it all the time. I take it you tried pinging Bunny's phone."
"Yes, we did."
Then Peter came in.
"Hey, Olivia. I just heard about the Amber Alert. Is there anything I can do?"
"No."
"Hey, Antonio."
"Hey, Peter. Lieutenant, tell us what you want us to do."
"Fin is in charge of this. He told me that I need to keep my head on straight."
"I told Voight the same thing."
"The only thing I can think of was that Bunny was having me followed or following me herself to get to Sami. She won't rest until she ruins my life for trying to keep Erin away from her."
"I'm a big girl and quite capable of making my own decisions."
Justin got up.
"I'm going to go call Olive. I'll be right back."
Justin left and went to call Olive.
"Lindsay, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure."
Erin and Olinsky went to talk about what he and Hank had talked about at dinner. Olivia contacted Fin to find out what he wanted the group from Intelligence to do. By the time the group from Intelligence left, Ed had come back and Chief Dodds had come in as well. Erin and Justin were still there and Peter had stuck around as well.
"Any more leads?"
"We know who did it. That's about it. She has a connection to Hank's family. He thinks she was having him followed or following him to get to Sami. The FBI is also involved thanks to Erin."
"Ok. Are you off the case?"
"Yes. Fin told me that I need to keep my head on straight."
Then Amanda came in with Jesse.
"Liv."
"Rollins, you're supposed to be on bedrest."
"I know but Noah and Sami are missing. I need to be here for you. Where's Trevor?"
"At work."
"He doesn't want to be here with you?"
"We broke up last night. More like he broke up with me. He doesn't think I love him as much as he loves me and there are other factors as well."
Both Justin and Erin looked at Hank.
"I bet I know."
"Me too."
Hank gave both of them a look.
"Sorry to hear that, Liv."
"Thanks. I'm probably going to end up alone and miserable for the rest of my life."
Olivia's phone rang and it was Trevor, so she talked to him and told him what was going on. He told her to keep him informed as to what was going on. Olivia got up and went into the Interrogation Room that wasn't next to her office and broke down again. Hank got up and followed her. She was sitting against the wall on the floor. He sat next to her and put his arms around her.
"We will find them."
"What if we don't? You at least have Justin, Erin and your grandchildren. Noah and Sami are all I have."
"I've been a jerk for no reason. A part of me never wanted to be with another person after I lost Camille because I was afraid of getting hurt again. Camille was the love of my life. The thing is, I do want to be with another person but I'm just not good at expressing my feelings. I never have been."
"So, it is me that you want to be with?"
"Who do you think?"
"All of a sudden you want to be with me? You didn't yesterday."
"It's not that I didn't want to be with you because I did. You're the mother of my daughter. Of course I feel something for you. I wanted you to be truly happy, which is why I wasn't going to stand in the way of whatever relationship you were in. Am I the reason Trevor broke up with you?"
"Pretty much. I knew he was too good to be true. I did love him but a part of me had always hoped that you and I could have given it a chance. He loved the kids. I'll give him credit for that."
"Maybe we should work on getting the kids back and then we can discuss us."
"I can live with that."
They were moving their faces closer to each other to kiss but then there was a knock at the door.
"Yes."
Erin opened the door.
"We think Noah is on the phone."
"What?"
"There's a call than the 9-1-1 dispatcher put through to SVU."
They went to the Squad Room and then Olivia took the phone from Chief Dodds.
"Noah?"
"Yes."
"Are you and Sami ok?"
"We're scared."
"Do you know where you are?"
"I'm not sure. We're in a room
"Are you sure you're ok? Did she hurt you?"
"Sami is tied up and she left us here by ourselves. I was tied up but not very good. I called 9-1-1 from my iPad. Is that ok?"
"Yeah, Baby. That's fine."
Olivia kept Noah on the phone long enough to get a location, which was the abandoned granary. Chief Dodds radioed Fin and everyone else
"Got it."
"Noah, Sweetie, we're on our way."
"Please hurry."
"Ok. I love you both so much. Tell your sister that."
"I will. We love you too."
Olivia ended the call and then she, Hank, Erin and Justin took off. Olivia and Hank got into her Police SUV and she drove to the granary as quickly as she could with the sirens and lights on. Erin and Justin followed in her car. When they arrived, Fin and Carisi were already there. Everyone put vests on.
"I know where they are."
Olivia went up the stairs to the room where Lewis had held her. She felt sick but she knew she had to be strong for her children. By the time they got up there, Bunny was there.
"Well, well, well. Look who emerged."
"Let them go, Bunny."
"I would but I need a little insurance."
"What's that?"
"I want you out of my daughter's life for good."
"Cut the crap, Bunny. I'm 33 years old and very capable of making my own decisions. I'm trying to be an adult and you won't let me. All you want is someone to get drunk and high with. I'm passed that."
"Hank poisoned you against me. The only way for me to get back at him is to take his precious daughter from him just like he did to me. Prison will be worth it just to make Hank's life miserable one last time.
Bunny released the safety from her gun and held it to Sami's head.
"Leave my sister alone! She never did anything to you. I can see why Erin doesn't like you. You're mean and don't care about anyone but yourself. Hank is a good daddy to my sister. He may not be mine but I would give anything to have a daddy like him."
"Shut up!"
"Don't tell me to shut up!"
"Brat!"
"Don't call me a brat!"
Noah stuck his tongue out at Bunny.
"I see you were never taught any manners."
"I don't like you."
"I don't like you either, so I guess that means we're even."
Noah and Bunny glared at each other. Sami was watching everything around her and she was afraid to even move. Hank could see the fear in his daughter's big, brown eyes.
"I have to go potty."
"Hold it."
Sami started squirming and she was starting to get whiny.
"I have to go potty now."
"I told you to hold it."
"You can't expect her to hold it."
"No one asked you, Erin."
"Let them go."
"I can't do that."
"Now!"
Sami couldn't hold it any longer and started going.
"You damn brat!"
"You can't tell a 3-year old to hold it."
Sami then started crying.
"Stop whining!"
Bunny pushed Sami off her now wet lap and then she ran to her parents and Noah ran over to them as well. Bunny was then taken into custody by the FBI. Neither Hank nor Olivia would let go of either of the kids. They all headed back to the Precinct, so Olivia could clean Sami up. Ed, Peter and Chief Dodds were still there when they got there. Olivia cleaned Sami up and then she held Noah, while Hank held Sami.
"I love you both so much."
"I love you too."
"Me too. Love you, Daddy."
"I love you too."
"Thanks, Hank."
"Sure. I love you too, Noah."
"You do?"
"Yeah, I do. I like having you around."
"I like staying at your house. Mommy."
"What?"
"Where's Trevor?"
"He and I broke up last night."
"Oh."
"It's always been Hank."
"Does this mean we're going to be a family?"
"We're going to try to work on that."
Hank leaned toward Olivia and then they started kissing. Hank realized they were being watched and pointed toward the door. Erin, Justin, the group from Chicago, Fin and Carisi all high fived each other. They were glad to see Hank and Olivia working on things with each other, not just for Sami but for themselves.
Everyone but Fin and Carisi left and Olivia and Hank took the kids to see Lucy, who was staying overnight in the hospital. Once they got back to Olivia's apartment, she called Trevor to tell him the kids were home. Bunny ended up being charged for the other crimes she had committed, so she was going to be in prison for a while. Hank continued coming to New York every other weekend but Olivia had started taking the kids to Chicago more often when Noah had a long weekend or when he had any time off from school. They knew they loved each other but they were in no rush to get close. Hank wanted to give her time to get over her break up with Trevor. It would all happen with the time was right.
