Family: Chapter 1

Merideth Benson felt her whole world turn upside down as tow strangers who she hopes to never meet again lowered her mother and father's ashes into the cold ground. She thought to herself, "I have no one, Mom's family is dead along with Dad's" After the burial a tall man with glasses and spiked up hair greeted Merideth with a gentle smile.

"Merideth? Hi my name is Jim. I'm a social worker" he said

She thought to herself, "Great a foster family, how can my life get any worse?"

"I'm here to take you to your Aunt Olivia, in New York" he said all she could do was nod her head and smile.

"Maybe my life will get better" she muttered to low for Jim to hear.

One week later at the 1-6 precinct

"Liv," Cragen said, "Before you leave, check your mail. Looks like something important came." He said handing her a letter

"Okay, thanks Captain" she replied while shooting a confused look to her boyfriend of six months, Elliot Stabler. Elliot got up from his chair, putting one hand on Olivia's waist, but quickly put it into his pocket remembering no one new about their realationship.

"What is it?" he asked as Olivia read the letter.

"I had another brother… From my mom's side. Anyway, him and his wife died in a car crash and they had a daughter…She's coming in two weeks" she replied handing Elliot the letter. He read:

Dear Detective Olivia Benson,

Your mother had a son before you. He had two children, Merideth age third-teen and Jack; he committed suicide at the age of seven-teen almost one year ago. Eleven months after Jack died his parents Ellen and Nick died in a car crash. You're all Merideth has left. We will be in New York in two weeks. Please contact me if you are un-able to take care of Merideth.

Sincerely,

Jim Brown

"Wow, Liv…" Elliot said speechless.

"I know. We should go home. It's getting late." Olivia said

"Okay" Elliot responded, helping her with her coat. When they were safely out of the precinct Elliot intertwined his fingers with Olivia's.
