Olivia was pacing outside brilynn or Brielles hospital room. She knew if she went back in she would want to hold her daughter and tell her everything but she knew she had to take this slow.

She waited for fin to arrive and he looked at her and seen she had been crying before he showed up. "Does she know yet?" He asked.

"No but it's taking all my strength not to walk in there and hold her and tell her who she really is." She said "but if I do will she hate me for letting her be taken and hurt like she was?" She sighed "I'm terrified fin." She admitted.

"Its gonna be ok liv I'll help you and she's only 4 she'll understand and you will be there to help her through everything. Have you called hayden yet?" He asked.

"No. We haven't even spoken since her case went cold and I'm afraid he will blame me too once he finds out all the details." She replied in a shaky voice.

"I doubt that. He cares about you liv anyone that has seen you two together can tell that." He said.

"Let's talk to her first then I'll call David" she sighed and walked back in the room finally followed by fin.

"Livia you were gone a long time....did I do something bad?" Brielle asked.

"No sweetie not at all. I just got some news and I needed a minute." She said and sat once again by her hospital bed.

"What's wrong?" She wondered.

"Well sweet heart me and my friend fin found out that the man and woman you thought was your mommy and daddy aren't." Olivia started.

"What do you mean?" She asked confused.

"Well inside every person are little almost invisible pieces that can tell us who our family is the ones that have the same little peices inside them that fit but your prices didn't fit with thiers." She said trying to explain to a 4 year old was difficult to say the least.

"Like a puzzle?" Brielle asked.

"Yes sweetie kinda like a puzzle." Olivia paused a moment and then continued "a little over 3 years ago I had a baby girl but one night a bad man and a bad woman took her and I've been looking for my little girl for a very long time. So we tried to put your prices and my prices together and they fit perfectly." She said "hunny...I'm your real mommy and your real daddy's name is David." She said

Olivia could see Brielle slowly trying to connect everything olivia had said and then Brielle finally spoke "so my other mommy and daddy stolded me from you when I was a baby?"

Olivia nodded "yes sweetie...do you understand?"

"I...think so" she said.

"Your real name is Brielle not brilynn"  Olivia said as she opened her wallet and pulled out an old picture of her and Brielle when she was 5 months old just a week before she was taken. She handed the picture to Brielle.

"That's me when I was a baby?" Brielle asked holding the picture.

Olivia noted with a soft smile "yes and that's me holding you" she finished.

Brielle then surprised everyone and sat up in the bed and swung her arms around Olivia's neck and squeezed tight in a hug.

Olivia hugged her back as tears welled in her eyes.

"Can I live with you now?" She asked.

Olivia smiled blinking back her tears "yes baby as soon as your better you'll come home with me" she said and stroked her hair.
