30

It was several days before Casey Novak the prosecuting attorney against Jordan Parker called olivia. "Hey liv I was hopeing you could bring Brenna to my office so we could discuss going forward with a trial."

Olivia sighed but said "um yeah. I'll have to bring the twins with me cause elliots at work and our sitter is busy today but we can be there in an hour or 2."

"Ok how about we plan for 1:30 that's an hour and a half from now." Casey replied.

"Yeah we can make that. See you then." Olivia hung up and went to get the twins ready first. As she was finishing dressing Naomi, Brenna walked in. "Where are we going?" Brenna asked.

Olivia put Naomi in the baby swing near by and looked at Brenna. "Well sweetheart we have to go see a friend of mine who is going to help you and me put Mr. Parker in jail for what he did to you."

Brenna looked down "Jenna's been texting me. She says I'm a liar and that her dad wouldn't have done that." She said in a saddened tone.

Olivia sighed and sat in the rocking chair and tugged Brenna to her. "She's just upset hunny. He may have never done this to her or she may be just trying to protect him."

"Jenna was one of my best friends and now she hates me." She whimpered.

"Sometimes sweetie we have to let some friends go and make new ones." Olivia said as she heard her cell phone ring and she stroked her daughters hair before answering her phone. "Hello?" Olivia paused "what? Your serious? Um...yeah we can come in at 2:30 after we meet up with Casey. Thanks fin." She hung up and kissed her daughters head and said "go get your coat on my love while I get your sister's in to thier car seats."

"Ok mama" she sighed and went to do what she was asked.

Olivia got the twins and Brenna in the car and drove to Casey's office. Casey sat Brenna down and began to talk with her while Olivia set up a blanket on the floor with toys and put the twins on it.

Olivia went and took a seat by Brenna.

Casey looked at them and said "so I was just telling Brenna that when the trial starts she will be going on the witness stand to speak about what Mr. Parker did to her."

Brenna shook her head "no...no I can't  Jenna already hates me and everyone else will to...and They'll think I'm gross." She said.

Olivia touched her shoulder and shook her head "my love no one is going to think your gross and you won't be the only girl testifying and telling thier story."

Brenna looked at her mother. "What do you mean?" Brenna asked confused.

Casey spoke this time and said "two other girls have come forward with similar stories to yours."

Brenna looked at Casey and her mother "who?"

Olivia sighed "Sadie and Hannah both told thier moms after they found out you came forward. You helped them feel more brave." She said stroking her daughters cheek.

"He hurt them too?" Brenna asked.

"Yes babygirl but we still need you to testify to make sure he goes away and can't hurt anymore girls." Olivia looked in her eyes. "You are such a strong girl I know you can do this."

Brenna hesitated and nodded. "Ok mama I can do it."

Olivia hugged her daughter tightly.
