This is so sweet. And, yeah, they were both programmed that if they needed something, they wouldn't get it...so...they learned not to ask and not to want and not to need...and when they NEED...it's so, SO hard.

Well done.

Keep this going! Love it!

Another great Rolivia story. I really like your take on their relationship, and how you portray Rollins, so stubborn, so scared of disappointing Benson, but so lost at the same time.
This story is no exception, I really enjoyed it : the way Benson get through Rollins, the way Rollins accepts the help and realises she's not alone in this, and the way you wrote poor, frustrated Frannie (seriously though, Frannie was well written here).
It was also pleasant to have some take on what could have happened after Maternal Instincts, the show having the habit to throw bad things at its characters without really offering any follow up (except for Benson).
Can't wait for another of your stories.

Please update!

I'm so happy you're back! I've missed your writing, and a new story from you was the perfect way to start my day. I love how compassionate and caring Olivia was with Amanda, and I wish we could have seen something like this on the show when Amanda was pregnant. I'm glad she agreed to stay with Liv for awhile. I love the last line, where Amanda acknowledged that she had already chosen her own family for herself. Great work! I hope you post another Rolivia fic soon. :)

This was so sweet! Any chance of a chapter 2 where we get too see Amanda at Olivia's place?

Awwww, This sweet beautiful chapter between Amanda and Oliva was soooo CUTEEEEEEE! xx
