Chapter 2: Do you want to come home with us?
"I'll do everything I can to make sure they never get out, and I know how Liv and I can help her. I think I am going to make a call and get her released into our care. We will both help her. She can count on us."
"I know. You two are really good people. It's nice to have people like you and Olivia in this cruel world."
When Elliot and I hung up, I woke up Liz. " , you better have one damn good reason to wake me up."
"I do Liz. We just got a case involving a 13 year old girl whose parents have been abusing her since she was young. Olivia has gained her trust and I was wondering how hard it would be for her to be released in our care?"
"It shouldn't be that hard. If you will let me get my sleep I will make a call first thing tomorrow morning and see what I can do."
"Thank you so much Liz." I pulled up Olivia contact and hit call.
"Hey, I have good news."
"Really?"
"Yes. I called Liz and she said she'll help us as long as we let her sleep. So as long as Child Protective Services will wait long enough for Liz to make the phone call."
"I hope so. I really want to help her Alex. She is literally me, and I can't bear the thought of her going into foster care. She's not like the other cases we have had."
"I know honey. I know. I will everything that I can do. We will get her. Working with you guys I don't have many work related favors anymore, but I still do have a lot of personal ones."
"God, you are so perfect."
"Alex is just fine thank you." That made her smile and I'm glad it did. You can tell because when she smiles her voice changes.
"You are a dork, you know that."
"I am your dork, do you know that."
"I do know that. The doctor just came back with the x-rays I will call you back as soon as I hear what's going on."
"Please do. I love you."
"I love you to. Talk to you later."
"Of course."
Olivia's POV:
I go back in the room and sit next to the girl.
"How are you doing?"
"Better than I was before, the doctor came in and said he will come back in a minute he needs to get the rest of the results."
"Ok, so can I talk to you about something?"
"Yea what's up?"
"My girlfriend is the ADA, but because we were talking she is going to recuse herself. We would like to have you to come into our home. And stay with us."
"Really?"
"Yes, if you would like to."
"If I wasn't injured I would totally give you a hug. I would love to go home with you and your girlfriend."
"We are going to make sure you know what love is."
"Thank you so much."
Alex POV:
It's 7:15 on the dot and she is getting ready to go to the hospital. She gets in the car and thinks to herself. Olivia and the girl were both in the hospital all night, I think they would like some food that came from the outside world. First I know Olivia is going to want a coffee, that woman cannot function without her coffee. Hospital coffee while it is not bad it isn't exactly good either. I know it is the complete opposite way but Olivia's favorite coffee shop is over near the precinct. It's mid winter I don't think the doctor mind me bringing the girl a hot chocolate. After 35 minutes and 20$ later, I leave the coffee shop with two coffees, a hot chocolate, a half dozen donuts and a change of clothes for Liv. It takes me a little while longer to get to the hospital mainly because I went out of the way to begin with and the morning traffic. When I finally get to the hospital, check in, and make my way up the room. Both of their eyes light up when I walk into the room, obviously Olivia because she saw me and the girl because she saw the hot chocolate. While Olivia changed and the girl ate I went to get some information from her doctor. I mean we are taking her home and I have some questions I would like to ask the doctor privately, I am not judging her at all. I see that she is a cutter, I want to give her the best kind of treatment I can. I couldn't find the doctor and I really wanted to catch up with Liv and the girl. I go back to the room but before I go in I look through the window. They are sitting there joking with each other they both have the biggest smiles on their faces I find it absolutely adorable. I walk in and they both fall silent, I take this time to introduce myself.
"She may have already told you, but I am Alex Cabot I am the ADA for the special victims unit. I am also Detective Benson girlfriend, I made a call I don't know if Olivia has told you already but if you want to you can come live with us."
"I've heard, it is nice to meet you and thanks Olivia is chill she gets me. You know."
"She is that way for a lot of people they don't call her the angel of SVU for nothing. She is great at what she does, even when it is tough for her."
"She really is a great person."
Olivia is over there blushing so hard. Then she finally pipes up and says, "You do realize you are standing right here."
This makes me chuckle and I say, "Yes we do love, and you look beautiful. I am going to go catch up with her doctor I shall be back."
