Chapter 1- Derailing (Eva)

You have no clue what it's like. Being the eldest daughter of a doctor and a detective. Some think its great, I mean both my parents are serving the community. Giving something back to society.

Yeah. Bullshit.

I was adopted by Olivia Benson and Allison Cameron when I was almost four. They had only been together maybe a month or two, I don't know all the details.

We then moved permanently to New York, well Allison and I did, Olivia was a native New Yorker, and so went back.

After I turned four, Olivia went into Sealview, a female prison as an undercover cop, to help weed out a guard rapist. The tables turned and she was raped. She doesn't know I know the details, she gave me the basic outline, but well, the file was locked in her desk, and I was bored.

Six months after that, Allison's sister Hayley died. We made the trip back to Princeton to say our respects. I only met Hayley a couple of times. Before that I became really good friends with my cousins, but mostly with Janie and Cody, who are my age.

Three months later, I gained a baby sister, they named her Hayley Serena. Hayley after Allison's sister, and Serena after Olivia's mom. She's now 13, and a pain in my butt. She looks like Olivia in miniature, but has Allison's personality, but has Olivia's need to help people, but I personally think she gets that from both of them.

One of my aunts, Casey, also had a baby girl, and named her Stephanie about two months before Olivia had Hayley. So naturally the two girls are best friends.

When I turned 12, Nicolas, Hayley's widow, he was diagnosed with cancer, I think it was lung cancer. Stage 3 or something. Eavesdropping on conversations with big medical terms is hard, but whacha going to do? Unfortunately a year later he died. Sammy was already at medical school and Lisa was in college, so Olivia and Allison offered to take care of Janie and Cody.

That pretty much brings us up to today. We live in a five bedroom house on the outskirts of Manhattan, its nice and big, and we all got our own rooms. Janie, Cody and I are all in the last year of high school, which is fantastic. We actually made it through.

Hayley is about to enter the 8th grade, and has just turned 13, and she is absolutely ecstatic, for some unknown reason.

Mom [Allison] still works at Mercy, but took a job in the Immunology Department when Janie and Cody came to live with us, which has worked out for the better. Liv still works at SVU but was promoted six months ago to Captain, because Cragen retired, and Elliot didn't want to take the job.

Speaking of Elliot, Kathy and he totally broke up. Eli is now 13, almost 14 and he and Hayley are good friends, and he is also going into the 8th grade.

'Eva Benson-Cameron, Janie Roberts! Get your butts down here.'

Oh shit. Janie and I were supposed to do the washing today, and so in the last possible minute before Liv and Mom came home, we threw the stuff in the wash.

I found Janie in her room, with her iPod in her ears.

'JANIE!' She pulled the earplugs out of her ears, in an attempt to understand and hear what her cousin was saying.

'What?'

"We are in so much shit..' I gave her a pointed look.

A look of confusion flicked across Janie's face, to be replaced with a dawning look of comprehension.

'The washing.' Janie said.

'Run?' I asked.

'Run.' She nodded.

'EVANGELINE! JANE!' This time it was Mom who was yelling.

'Uh oh, full first names. We'd better go and see what the hell is going on.' I ran downstairs, followed by Janie.

We found Mom and Liv at the kitchen table, and there was something wrapped in paper towel sitting on the table.

'Take a seat guys.'

I looked at Janie, this was so not about the washing.

'Whats up Aunty Al?' Janie asked.

Mom unwrapped the paper towel, it was a pregnancy test. She pushed towards Janie and I.

'Is this either of yours?' She asked.

I looked at it, it was positive.

'It's not mine.' I replied.

'Nuh. It isn't mine either.' Janie answered.

'Are you guys sure?' Liv asked us.

'Uh, yeah.'

I stood up, and turned to leave the room.

'Oh and next time you guys forget to do the washing, just leave it. Cody's soccer shorts are now pink, and you three's school shirts are too.'

I looked at Olivia's face. The look on it was priceless. I knew she was imagining Cody playing soccer in pink shorts.

Alrighty. This was the first chapter of my sequel. Reviews make my day, but also the reader counter does too, so either way I'll be happy. Sorry for the short chapter, this was basically to bring up to date the twelve year gap between the end of Fight for All The Wrong Reasons and this story. I have a vague idea where I'm taking the story, and I have all of the summer to develop it. However, additional small plot points are useful, and if I choose the plot point you put in, I can give you a cameo in the story. So how's that for incentive?
