Olivia got home on Sunday after the guys told her that they had the case and would find the guy. She got home and expected to hear a lot of noise, but instead she heard silence. It was around the time the babies napped, but usually, Logan would be up still and playing video games.
"Elliot?" Olivia questioned, as she slipped her jacket off before hanging it up on the coat rack.
"Hey," Elliot mumbled as he came into the living room. Olivia turned to look at her husband and frowned when she saw how upset he looked.
"Did something happen?" Olivia questioned, and Elliot frowned.
"You can't hate me for what I'm going to say."
"Do you want to break up or something?" Olivia whispered, and her husband quickly shook his head.
"No. I want to be with you and our children. It's Amanda and Logan... Thursday night they left. They went back to their apartment. Amanda won't answer my calls, and Logan won't text me back. I tried to get them to stay, but they just wanted space. I'm sorry, Liv." Elliot frowned.
Olivia sighed before reaching out and gently touching his cheek.
"I knew it was going to happen. I just wish it wouldn't have. All we can do is drop in and check on them and then just let them be alone." Olivia spoke. She turned around and grabbed her jacket before pulling it back on.
Elliot watched her as she gathered her items again.
"I can go," Elliot spoke.
"I'll go. Just stay here and I'll be back in an hour. I'll pick up dinner too."
"Okay... I love you and I'm-"
"Don't apologize. I love you too."

Olivia knew that Amanda and Logan mostly got take out, so she stopped by the store and got some essentials for them. Milk, eggs, butter, bread, toiletries. She wanted them to have food there and the items they needed since they probably weren't going to leave the house for a while.
Olivia carried the bags up the stairs of Amanda's apartment building before knocking on their door. She waited for several minutes before Logan opened the door.
"Oh." He breathed, and Olivia handed him the bags.
"Here are some groceries. Make sure you put the milk and eggs away right away. I picked up your mother's prescription for her pain medication. Just call me if you need anything else, okay?" Olivia spoke, and Logan eyed her before nodding slowly.
"Yeah, okay." He shut the door and Olivia sighed.
She didn't know why they were both such stubborn children sometimes. Logan used to act so mature and Amanda used to rely on Olivia, but now she didn't even want anything to do with her.
Olivia started to walk down the hall, but then her name was breathed. Olivia turned around and looked at Amanda standing by her door.
"Thanks for getting this stuff for us. We were almost out of shampoo." Amanda spoke, and Olivia nodded.
"Of course." She spoke.
"It kinda hurt me when Elliot told me that you two got married. Without me being there." Amanda spoke.
"Well, we decided that-"
"It would be less stress for me. Yeah, I know. But stop worrying about me and Logan. Worry about your husband and kids. You are gonna have four kids soon, so focus on that. We will come around eventually, but for now, we just need to recover together and without being babied." Amanda spoke, before walking back into her apartment and shutting the door. Olivia just turned back around and headed towards the stairs.

Olivia and Elliot didn't expect that Amanda and Logan would ignore their calls as long as they did. Olivia was on maternity leave and focusing on the nearly 9 and a half-month-old twins and two-year-old Willow.
"Momma, no more," Willow whined as Olivia tried to give her one last bite of corn to finish her dinner. Elliot had taken the twins upstairs to change their diapers before bringing them back down to play until bath and bedtime.
"Willow-" Olivia started, but then Willow knocked the spoon from her mother's hand and started to throw a fit. Olivia sighed before standing slowly and lifting her daughter from her highchair. She carried her into the living room before putting her into time out.
After Olivia gave her two-year-old the usual speech, she stood and went and set the timer for three minutes. Two minutes was never enough, but three usually was. When Olivia was walking back from the kitchen, the doorbell rang. She walked quietly to the door before opening it slowly.
"Amanda? Logan?!" Olivia questioned quickly.
"Hey, Aunt Liv." Logan smiled before he stepped forward and hugged her tightly. Olivia hugged him back before inviting them in.
"What are you two doing here? We didn't even think that you lived in Manhattan anymore because you moved out of your apartment." Olivia spoke, as Elliot walked down the stairs with Pia and Parker squirming in his arms.
"We actually moved to Long Island. We just wanted to get away." Amanda replied. Olivia swallowed hard before nodding.
"We kinda thought you moved to Atlanta," Elliot spoke after he put the twins down. Olivia walked away from the door and into the kitchen. She shut the timer off as soon as it went off before going to talk to Willow again.
Elliot looked at his nephew and Amanda before frowning.
"What's wrong?" Amanda asked.
"Liv's been worrying nonstop about you two since you fell off the face of the Earth. I'm not too happy with either of you, because I cannot tell you how many sleepless nights my wife has had for the last three months. She's two weeks shy of her due date, and she's having more sleepless nights than she should be having." Elliot frowned.
"Uncle Elliot-" Logan started.
"I'm sorry, guys. But tonight isn't a good night to be hanging out. Willow is having a rough day and the twins are heading to bed soon. I think it's time you leave." Elliot spoke. Olivia ran her hands over her face before she picked Willow up and held her close.
"We just wanted to see you all... is that bad?" Amanda huffed.
"You throw us away when we were helping you. Now I can't help but think you need something from us, and that is why you are back."
