(AU where Love survives the house fire)

Due to the Quinn family being rich, Love, Forty, Dottie, and Ray gained a tolerance and immunity to most neurotoxins (including the one Joe uses to paralyse Love)

However, she completely forgot how terrifying it is to be paralysed and at the mercy of your partner who could do anything to you and you can't do anything but take it.

Soon after Joe leaves with Henry, leaving Love to die in the fire, she manages to drag herself out of the house and lay in their backyard to try and wait out the poison's effect

She sees Joe put their child on the neighbour's doorstep and tries to get to him once more of the neurotoxin is worn off, but she couldn't make it in time before Henry was taken in

And now, here she is. Basically stalking her child while her ex husband runs after the new, shiny thing. Henry sees her and isn't frightened despite the burn scars. She comes into his nursery, cradles him, and cares for him

Some nights, she can't be "Mama Love" and it hurts to hear her child cry while his dads try to get him to sleep. She watches as her baby grows from an infant, to a babbling toddler, to a young child. She has Henry keep quiet about her since if he tells someone, then she wouldn't be able to see him

One day, Love just says "fuck it"

"I'm tired of lurking around in the shadows. I'm his mother. I should be raising him. Not Dante and Lansing!"

That night, she sneaks into Henry's bedroom and picks him up. She carefully carries him and walks back to her new house. She has her baby back. Now, time for revenge on Joseph Gabriel Goldberg. Not only for trying to kill her, not only for trying to frame it as a murder-suicide, but for also stealing her baby
