No one's POV:

It was the next morning and as the children were upstairs with Their Uncle Chase and both all three lawyers of Cassidy, Bell and Dakota were discussing matter with Alexandra and Rafael.

Both Olivia and Elliot were in the small kitchen, and drinking Their favorite coffee, as They were enjoying each other's company, Fin walked in.

"Liv, Elliot, I gotta talk to You about something," Fin said as He was walking over.

"What's the matter, Fin?" Olivia asked, as Elliot was drinking His coffee.

"Our idiot Lake asked if We could take custody of the children, and I couldn't help but agree with Him," Fin explained.

"I have no idea what is more surprising that the fact that this is the first time You are agreeing with Lake or think that taking custody of a total 18 children is easy," Elliot commented and Fin glared.

"I know it's not, but either something is wrong with Me or these kids have some kind of super power to make Me attached to Them, especially Tegan and Faith," Fin explained.

"Can I say, both?" Elliot asked, then Olivia stepped forward.

"I feel the exact same way," Olivia said.

"I mean, once this is over, these kids will be right back in the system," Olivia explained, Fin let out a sigh.

"I am not the one who becomes a soft heart and a total teddy bear, but sometimes I wonder why children can't be in safe and happy families?" Fin asked, as He was walking over and making Himself a cup of coffee.

"Why don't We make a deal, Cabot?" Cassidy's laywer asked.

"2 degree of murder and probation," Lawyer Sanchez explained.

"No," Alexandra declined immediately, and Lawyer Sanchez was pretty offended with Alexandra's rejection.

"Why not?" Lawyer Sanchez asked.

Alexandra rolled Her eyes.

"Because I am not giving any chances to any child abuser and killer or any deals," Alexandra answered.

"Are You saying that because of personal reasons or You are actually being serious?" Lawyer and asked.

Alexandra shot a glare right at Lawyer Sanchez.

"You think that I was kidding!?" Alexandra growled, as She opened the door, and walked out, but Cassidy's lawyer followed.

•••

"I am just saying that You are being a bit too harsh," Lawyer Sanchez explained, but then, that caught attention to everyone in sqaudroom and Alexandra once again shot a glare at the lawyer, at this point, this was the final straw...

"HARSH!? This woman had been abusing a total of 19 children for the past 6 months, then Her and Her partner killed one, and You are saying that I AM BEING A BIT TOO HARSH!?" Alexandra screamed in anger.
