1Please review! Some of you guys have read my 'How I Used to Know You Series". It'll make more sense if you read them first.
Olivia walked into the squad room, coffee in hand and smile plastered on face. She was not happy, but excited at the same time. It had been a month since Elliot left the squad. Today, a detective from Denver was coming in.
Apparently, her and her partner had the best arrest record there. That was herself and Elliot a few months ago. She sat down at her desk and looked over at Nick. "Is the Denver detective here?"
"Uh, yeah she came in about ten minutes ago. She's talking with Cap right now. He wanted you to show her around once you got here." Nick said.
Olivia stood up. "Well, I'll go do that." Olivia went over and knocked on Cragen's door before going in. "Cap, Nick said you wanted to see me." "Yes, Olivia this is Detective Parker Small. She's here from Denver for the week to see how we run things here." Cragen said.
Olivia froze at the name. That can't be. "I'm detective Olivia Benson." Olivia said as she shook Parker's hand.
"Nice to meet you. I have heard a lot about you back in Denver." Parker smiled.
Olivia smiled back. "I didn't know I was that popular."
Cragen rolled his eyes. "Liv, why don't you show Small around? She can be your partner for the day."
"Okay, let's go." Olivia smiled. Parker and Olivia started walking through the building. "So, you work Special Victims in Denver?"
"Yeah, my partner and I have been working together for six years. Longer than anybody else in our unit." Parker smiled. "My partner wants to break your record. Twelve years as partners is a long time."
"You don't have to tell me twice, but I got my best friend out of it." Olivia smiled and then mentally slapped herself for basically slapping herself in the face about her partner, and best friend, leaving and not talking.
"So did I. Actually, my partner kind of turned into my boyfriend. IAB checks on us every few months, but they think it's great if we can keep up our arrest record." Parker smiled.
Olivia's eyes widened. "You're dating your partner."
"Yeah." Parker smiled. "We've been dating for almost a year now. He has the best kids."
"He has kids?" Olivia asked.
"Yeah, he has two. A nine year old daughter and a seven year old son. They are adorable. He gets them every other night and weekend. He doesn't complain much." Parker said. She sat down on a bench.
Olivia joined her. "Have you ever been married?"
"Uh, I have actually. It lasted about a year and a half. I filed for divorce when he drove home drunk." Parker said linking her fingers together.
"I would've done the same thing. Most people find it strict." Olivia said thinking of her mother.
Parker looked at Olivia. "Well, I don't know who affected you, but... the reason behind that is because of my adoptive parents and first boyfriend. They were all in a car coming to meet me for my volleyball game. A drunk driver came out of no where and hit them. My parents died on impact. My boyfriend bled out before the ambulance could get there. I've been looking for my birth parents ever since."
"Wow, my mother was an alcoholic. That's my reason why I'm strict about drinking. My mother died when she fell down a flight of stairs." Olivia said. "Do you know anything about your parents?"
"Uh, not a whole lot. Just mainly that they were both drunk and in high school. I believe my mom was sixteen when she had me. I don't know about my father." Parker said. "I think about that and it makes me wonder how I ended up like her."
"What do you mean?" Olivia asked furrowing her eyebrow.
Parker sighed. "That boyfriend of mine that died when I was in high school, was also my son's father. I was only four weeks pregnant when he died. My son is six right now. He's the quarterback of the football team."
Olivia smiled. "What's his name?"
Parker smiled. "Charlie, he's been my baby ever since he was born. He hates it when I call him that in front of his friends." There's a moment of silence before Parker speaks again. "Sorry, we're talking all about me. What about you? Kids? Family?"
"Actually, I have never been married. I don't have a boyfriend, but I have a daughter. She was born here in New York on February sixth, nineteen eighty eight. I gave her up to Jessica and Patrick Small. I kept my daughter for a month after she was born. I still have her baby pictures. I named her Parker Lee Benson." Olivia smiled looking at Parker.
"You figured it out when Cragen said my last name was Small, didn't you?" Parker asked smiling.
Olivia's jaw dropped. "You knew?"
"Oh please, I'm a detective. Plus, the adoption was void since you didn't know who my father was. I'm still Parker Lee Benson." Parker smiled.
"Do you know your father?" Olivia asked.
Parker smirked. "All I know is that he's in the system. The power went out before I could read the name."
"He's got a record. Oh god, who did I sleep with in high school?" Olivia asked.
"How should I know?" Parker chuckled.
"I wonder... that could work." Olivia said.
"What?" Parker asked.
"A few years ago, I ran my blood through the system to find my brother. If we run yours through, we should find him." Olivia said.
"We've got time." Parker said looking at her watch.
Olivia looked around and then grabbed Parker's arm. "Let's go."
Parker was sitting on a table while Olivia paced the room. "Calm down. I'm sure it's nothing major." Parker said.
"If he has a record, he could have killed someone." Olivia snapped still pacing.
"He could have just stolen something. Maybe, it was a misunderstanding." Parker suggested.
"It's still a crime." Olivia said.
"I didn't say it wasn't." Parker sassed.
"Are you seriously sassing me?" Olivia asked stopping to look at her.
Parker smirked. "You are my mother after all."
Olivia exhaled sharply and jumped when a beep came from the computer. Olivia turned to it and was soon joined by Parker. "Isn't that?" Parker asked.
"Yeah, it is." Olivia said. She stared at the blue eyed, brown haired, son of a bitch she had known for over a decade. "Elliot Stabler."
