Sam was in one room while Jessica was in the other. For the last half an hour, Jessica felt like she was in an interrogation room. Of course, she cooperated, answered truthfully, and tried to get it over with so she could see Olivia.

The whole time she just kept thinking how fucked up this all was. things went from wonderful to shit in a matter of days. All she wanted was to see her baby and hold her, but no one would let her. It was protocol because most children end up where Olivia is because of their parents. Jessica was respectful and kept a brave face. deep down she was exhausted and scared. It had been a long night, but it didn't seem like it would be over anytime soon.

During the interview, they talked a lot about the last few months and Olivia's behaviors. It was evident that she was severely depressed. Thankfully, the woman understood that it's hard to help when they block you out so much. She had seen this a lot in her career. Talking more and more about what had been going on with Olivia broke Jessica's heart and shattered it into a million pieces.

"Can we talk about her father now, Daniel I think it is."

"Yes, that's it." Jessica says softly

"She hasn't spoken to him in over a year? Is there any particular reason?" She asks

Jessica sighs. It had been so long, and Jessica had vanished Danny from her mind that she couldn't even remember.

"He just wasn't being the father he needed to be. He lied, cheated, and broke her heart. It was my children's choice to stop talking to him. I want him to be in her life, he's her father, and she knows how I feel. my son talks to him off and on which drives her insane. But I don't want to be the one to nag her about it then have her heart broken again." Jessica stresses

The last nods and writes down on her paper.

"But you said that her and your husband are very close?"

"Yes. He's like a father to my children, he's wonderful. He loves them and they love him. We are really happy." Then, Jessica realized that not EVERYONE was happy. She cleared her throat and sighed.

"Sam would never hurt her? Touch her?"

Jessica widens her eyes "What? No! Never. He would never hurt my children. Never. He doesn't have an evil bone in his body." Jessica insists... She was taken back that someone would ask her such a question, but she had to remind herself... "Its protocol".

"Mhm...." She hums

"Is there something you'd like to say?" Jessica snaps

"It just seems off.... you're giving off the perception that you're children have the most perfect life in the world with you and your husband, but for some reason, we are here." The lady says in a snarky tone

Jessica had never been so angry in her life. This woman was being far more than rude, she was being disrespectful, insensitive, and extremely offensive.

Jessica huffs crosses her arms, then the waterworks begin. "I never said our lives were perfect. Listen, I get that this is your job to tear me down and interrogate me, but you won't get anything bad out of me because I am not a bad mother! I'm not going to let you sit here and degrade me and make me feel like I'm a bad mother either. I'm far from bad, not to toot my own horn but i'm a wonderful fucking mother. I'm not perfect, no, because as you said, we are here. Regarding Olivia, for the last two and a half months I have been doing everything I can to help her.... unfortuantly, she shut not only me but everyone else out. Of course I wish this could have been prevented, and It breaks my heart that it got to this point and I wish there was something more I could have done. My kids and I have been through hell and back numerous times in life. After my divorce, I've made sure that my children had everything. So, no, my husband would never abuse my children or me. No, this is not my fault, and I know, It's fucking protocol! My daughter almost died tonight. It's sick that you're not letting me see her while she is alone, in that room, with a tube down her fucking throat keeping her alive!" Jessica shouts. After her break down with the social worker, she began to cry. She leaned forward and bawled her eyes out. This was torture.

The lady closed her book and huffed. She had had enough of Jessica.

Meanwhile in the waiting room-

Danny sat alone while Jessica and Sam were in their interviews. Just like everyone else, he felt lost. It had been a year since he spoke to Olivia. She cut all connections with him. After the divorce, he lost his relationships with his children. He beat himself up over it everyday. He couldn't help but feel guilty for being the cause of Olivia's current situation.

As Danny was pondering by himself he noticed Sean from a distance frantically running around.

"Sean! Sean! Over here!" Danny says

Sean runs over to Danny with tears in his eyes.

"Is she alive? Is she okay? Mom isn't answering!" He cries

"Sean... breathe buddy, breathe. She's alive. They have her intubated, though, just until she wakes up."

Sean runs his fingers through his hair and cries even harder. As much as it was a relief, it still wasn't a whole lot. He fell into his dads chest and cried.

Fortunately for Danny, him and Sean had a relationship.

"Just let it out, I know, this is scary. Especially since you're the one who found her."

"I don't understand how it could get this bad."

Moments later once Jessica and Sam are released from their interviews thanks to Jessica, she notices Sean and runs to him.

"Baby..." Jessica says running into his arms

He disregards Danny and goes to his mother, crying along with her.

"What are you doing her, sweetie? Logan!" Jessica panics

"He's with grandma.... I'm sorry, I had to call her, I had to be here! She's my sister! If she dies, I need to be here!"

"Buddy, she's not going to die. Please, breathe.... it's okay." Sam says holding his step son tight.

Danny steps back from a distance. Seeing Sam and how he was with Sean made him jealous. He only craved for that type of relationship with HIS OWN kids.

"Updates?" Danny asks

"I ripped into that bitches ass! You wouldn't believe her!" Jessica huffs

"They are going to let us see her." Sam says

"When?"

"Now" Jessica says

"Mom, can I come?"

Jessica sighs and puts her hands on Sean's cheeks. "I'm sorry, sweetie, no.... since she's in the ICU, parents only."

"Sam gets to go but I don't?" He snaps

Sam sighs.

"Sean, honey.... I just don't want you seeing her the way she is. We don't know what she'll look like and it's scary." Jessica cries

"Your mother is right..." Danny says

"I'll stay behind with you, Sean." Sam says stepping next to him

"No, Sam, come with me..." Jessica says

"I didn't mean that, Sam." Sean whispers

"No, you're right. I'll stay with Sean and keep him company. You go.... I'll meet you in there." He insists

Jessica didn't want to waste anymore time. She let Sam go, then her and Danny were off to go be at Olivia's bedside.

If Jessica wasn't nervous already, walking into the room almost put her in full panic mode. Her little girl was much more little. Due to the pumping, she had nothing in her. She was unconscious with her head back. A tube went down her throat to assist her with breathing. Jessica prayed she'd never have to see her children like this, or anyone for that matter. Especially since they all saw her like this after her accident.

This was not the way Danny wanted to reunite with her daughter. She just looked so sick.... he was scared to look at her and see her in this condition.

Deep down inside everyone knew Olivia had a chance of not coming out of this. It lingered in their head the whole night. They only prayed that she could push through and wake up. She took a significant amount of drugs. There was a chance she could wake up, but never be the same. It was all a waiting game. For now, they had to be positive and not think the worst.

Jessica rushed to her bedside, sat down on the floor, with half her body on the bed. She grabbed onto Olivia's cold hands and held them tight to her lips. She cried and cried, not being able to pull herself together. Danny was on the other side, crying to himself.

Jessica stood up and caressed her daughters soft cheeks. She could see the pain that her daughter was going through. She was up close and saw it all. Even though she wasn't awake, the pain radiated off of her. It was overwhelming.

"My sweet baby girl.... please wake up, please wake up for mommy.... you're so loved. Everyone loves you, baby. We all need you here with us." Jessica whispers softly as she leaves a gentle kiss on her cheek.

"I love you, Livy Lynn." Danny whispers

Sam and Sean's POV-

The two of them sat together. It was very quite, just because they were so scared.

"Sean... If you need to talk, you can." Sam says softly

"I don't want to lose my sister." He says

"I know... I don't want to lose her either."

"I can't go back to school on Tuesday. Not now.... I'm not ready. I can't leave." He says

Sam sighs "Sean..."

"You and Mom can't fight me on this. I need to be here for Liv."

"You know that when she's awake and well, she will be hospitalized and won't be home for a while."

"No, they can't hospitalize her! She's not some crazy person!"

"I know, I know. But, she needs help. We can't give her the help she needs right now at home." Sam says

"This isn't fair! To Liv, mom, you, me, Logan! It's not fair."

"You're right... it isn't fair that Olivia felt this way. It kills me that she did this. I love you all more than anything in the whole entire world. You're my life, my family, and I'd do anything for you four. Knowing that she wasn't hurting and I couldn't protect her makes me want to scream and punch a wall. I understand your frustrations, Sean, I really do. I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure not only Liv, but all of us get through this. You're my family.... I need to protect my family."
