{name:Livia#|#picture:37}Livia shook her head. "Nothing, except I can't even save myself against an attacker. I'm a police officer," She said angrilly, "And yet I can't even protect myself, much less little kids."

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}"Hey, Liv, you can't blame yourself! That could've happened to anybody - gettin' ambushed in the middle of the night isn't exactly something you can be too prepared for. You can't let that affect how you do your job, 'cos let me tel you; you are great at what you do, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna sit by and let you blame yourself for this," Jess said sincerely.

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}"But I should have been prepared!" Livia said angrilly. "I could have just spent the night in the crib," She continued to exclaim, staring darkly at the coffee table.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}"Hey, hey, hey!" Jess exclaimed, "it was not your fault that some bastard decided to jump you in the middle of the night!"
She wasn't surprised at Livia's behavior, she'd seen it plenty of time with victims.

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}"It couldn't have been a coincidence though, could it Jess?" Livia asked, finally daring to meet her partner's eyes. "He had to have been following me, and some detective, I can't even realize it!"

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Remaining calm, Jess looked Livia straight in her eyes. "Liv, no one could have known this, and no one could have predicted it. Don't blame yourself for somthing you had absolutely no control over."

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}"I'm not stupid Jess," Livia exclaimed suddenly. "I know that this could have been prevented, if I had just kept my eyes open!" She stood and limped away from Jess. She stood at the window facing the street, hiding the tears that had suddenly started to rise in her eyes.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess sighed and stood. She followed Livia over to the window and stood a step away from her. Not wanting to startle her, she gently laid a hand on her shoulder. "Liv, you can't keep blaming yourself. It wasn't your fault."

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}"But I could have stopped it!" Livia continued. She felt Jess' hand on her shoulder and she roughly shook it off, angrilly. She was so sick of being babied all the time.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess felt Livia shake off her hand from her shoulder. Deciding to dive in head first, Jess grabbed a hold of both Livia's shoulder and turned her around, still holding her firmly.
"Liv, listen to me. This was not your fault, there was nothing you could have done."

{name:Livia#|#picture:37}"What do you know Jess?" Livia said angrilly, tears now rolling down her cheeks. "You're always on my case over the littlest things! Why can't you just let me be sometimes?" She paused for a moment to take a breath. "I didn't ask you to follow my every footstep!"

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}It broke Jess' heart when she saw tears rolling down her partner's cheeks. Not knowing what else she could do, she grabbed Livia and pulled her into a hug. "It's gonna be fine, Liv," she cooed.

{name:Jess#|#picture:40}Jess felt Livia collapse into her arms, and just held her tightly as she cried. "It's gonna be okay Liv," she said gently, "you're a strong person, and I know that you'll get through this."
