A/N: Hey guys, I deleted The 25 Days of Christmas since the chapters were so late, and decided to make my newest story idea a Christmas story. Anyways, I'm so terribly sorry that I haven't updated in a while, I've been swamped with homework, I've been riding my four wheeler, watching and reading L&O, I went to my cousin's house Saturday, and stayed till Sunday, and we watched Tinkerbell: Secret of the Wings, and we watched L&O, and I've been reading Tinkerbell, so anyway, I'm sorry, and I hope this story will make up for me being so late in updating. And, I don't know if Milori is really Italian, I don't think it's even a name, but I got Clarion and Milori's names from a movie, and they really were together, so just ignore the fact that Milori probably isn't a name, and if it is, then it's probably not Italian.
Monday December 17, Olivia Benson's apartment, 9:43pm:
"Mom, dad's on the phone, and he won't go away without talking to you!" 16 year old Clarion Benson called to her mother.
"Just hang up on him!" her mother Olivia Benson yelled back from the kitchen.
Clarion hung up the phone and joined her mother and identical twin sister Nikki in the kitchen.
"So mom, when are you gonna let dad explain?" Nikki asked.
"I'm not, I saw it, so there's nothing to explain." Olivia replied, putting the top back on the pot of green beans she was making, and turning back to face her daughters.
"But mom, you could've have seen wrong, it could have been just getting coffee." Nikki reasoned.
"Clarion, what do you think? Was your father just having coffee, or was it a date?" Olivia asked, turning to her other child.
"I honestly don't know mom, but from what I saw, it was a date." Clarion said, shooting an apology glance at her sister. Olivia shrugged and turned back to the stove. Nikki stood up and walked into the living room. She grabbed the phone and called her father.
"Hello, Liv is that you?!" Elliot Stabler asked anxiously when he picked up the phone.
"No dad, it's Nikki." Nikki said, smiling sadly.
"Hey Nikki." her father said.
"Dad, I need you to tell me the truth, were you on a date with Kathy, or were you just having coffee?" she asked cautiously. Elliot sighed. He hesitated before answering.
"Nikki honey, I'm gonna admit that it was a date, but-" Elliot started.
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe I defended you!" Nikki cut him off and hung up. She turned around and saw Olivia. Tears were openly flowing down her face.
"It's true, he was on a date, with her." she stated. She walked to her room and locked the door. Clarion walked up beside her sister.
"What are we gonna do Claire?" Nikki asked, using the nickname her father had used for her sister.
"Nik, please don't call me that." Clarion said, also using her father's nickname for her sister.
"As long as you don't call me that." Nikki replied. There was a knock on the door, and Clarion went to answer it. She didn't look through the peephole and screamed when she opened the door.
"Dad!" she yelled. Nikki ran in and glared at her father.
"What are you doing here?!" she screamed at him.
"I need to talk to your mother." Elliot stated calmly.
"Well you can't, she's busy crying her eyes out!" Nikki yelled at him. At that moment, Ready or Not by Bridgit Mendler started to play. Clarion picked up her phone.
"Hello." she said. The voice on the other end spoke.
"Yeah sure, I'll meet you there ok." she replied. The voice spoke again.
"Ok, should I bring Nikki?" Clarion asked. The voice spoke one last time before they both hung up. Clarion turned to look at Nikki.
"Nikki, Milori, Aaron, and some of the others are going to the mall, and they want us to come, you in?" she asked her sister. Nikki nodded. Clarion turned and knocked on her mother's door.
"Mom, can Nikki and I go to the mall with Milori, Aaron and a few other friends?" she called.
"Sure honey, just be home by eleven and make sure to stay safe ok, and there's money in my purse if you need it." Olivia's voice floated through the door.
"Thanks mom, by the way, dad's here, and he won't leave." Clarion told her mother.
"No problem honey, he'll leave soon, call if you need anything, I love you." Olivia called.
"We will, love you too!" Nikki called.
"Wait a second, who's Aaron and Milori, and what the heck kind of name is Milori?" Elliot asked. Clarion turned to him and rolled her eyes.
"Aaron is Nikki's boyfriend, and Milori is mine. His name is beautiful, and I happen to love it. It's unusual, creative, and Italian." she answered, defending her boyfriend. She turned on her heel and she and Nikki walked out of the apartment.
1 and half hours later:
Clarion and Nikki walked back into a very quiet apartment.
"Mom!" Nikki called. She walked around, and then motioned for Clarion to see something.
"Oh my God, is that…blood?" Clarion asked, her voice trembling.
"I think so." Nikki answered, her own voice breaking a bit. She walked into her mother's room with her sister following. They both gasped.
"Oh my God, mom!" Clarion exclaimed.
