Thought I would spoil the best followers ever! Love you guys!

"'N-No...' Nicole told the man in front of her.

'Why not?' the man replied angrily.

'B-Because I-I don't love you anymore! How are you even out of prison? You got 25 years with no parole!'

'None of your damn business. Now come with me.' His voice was low. Too low to truly be her father's voice. But it was.

'No.'

'Did you just say no?' Peter came into view, his face red with anger.

'I-I'm not going with you!' Nicole said, trying to step back, but her feet were glued to the ground.

'You're a bitch just like your mother. You don't get to tell me no!'

His voice was increasingly in decibels, just below a yell in his final words. His hand came up and struck Nicole across the face.

White searing pain traveled all through her left cheek. That's when things went blurry for her. It was a lot of nothingness, followed by lots of hits, punches and kicks."

She woke to the sound of her own screaming and the heart monitor beeping wildly.

She then heard the voice of another man, but this one was trying to settle her back down to bed.

"Calm down!" he urged. "It's okay."

When Nicole realized where she was, she calmed down, lying back against her mattress.

She stared at the young nurse who was staring back at her. "You're not my nurse," she said coldly.

"I am at night."

"Whatever," Nicole muttered. She rolled back over and pretended to sleep until he left.

When she actually did fall asleep, there were drying tears across her cheek.

Olivia didn't sleep at all. She was too worried about her daughter. At 5AM, when Elliot's alarm went off, she jumped, but pretended to be asleep.

Elliot quietly and swiftly rose for the mattress, running his fingers through Olivia's hair, to move the locks in her face, as he went to their adjoined bathroom.

He showered and dressed, all while Olivia watched him. He didn't notice, though.

He went downstairs to get some cereal, are quickly, then came back upstairs. After brushing his teeth, Elliot sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over to kiss Olivia's forehead. She could smell his minty breath.

"Do you have to go in today?" She asked, our of nowhere. Her eyes were still closed, but her hands found his and hung on.

"I figured I'd stay home the day Nicole came back. Why? Do you want me to call off?

He took his right hand from her grasp and brushed it against the smooth skin of her cheek. She was cold.

"I mean, I guess not. I just don't want to be alone today."

"Paige is here. Go have some girl time with her. Pick out stuff for her new baby brother or sister."

That was a really good idea. And they were pretty behind on the baby shopping. Olivia smiled. "Yeah. I guess we'll do that."

"Okay, call me if you need or want me."

"Well I'll always want you," she told him.

"Fine. If you need me," Elliot replied, leaning over to kiss her.
