(Two weeks later)
"I found a hit on Jay," Fin called out, "Jayden went missing when he was six months old. There isn't a family listed though..."
"No Hemings looking for their child?" Cragen wondered .
"That kid looks nothing like the missing child." Munch frowned and pointed to a picture on his computer. A young baby with dark brown hair and green eyes smiled back at the detectives.
Olivia's phone went off and she frowned at the screen, "Melinda said the DNA came back... Nick and Amanda both matched Jay's DNA..."
"How is that even possible? Rollins never went on a pregnancy leave.." Fin frowned.
"She's been here a year.." Cragen looked around the room, "The kid is five. The numbers make sense.."
"She would've told me," Fin frowned, "I trust her. The DNA is somehow screwed up."
"We can't keep focusing on this. We are short of two detectives and I need everyone's mind on the task at hand. Everyone go downtown . There's a robbery with hostages." Cragen commanded while grabbing his coat.
Everyone looked at each other uncertain then raced out of the precinct.
" You come out now , or we will come in shooting!" Fin yelled through the bank's doors.
"You won't do that! There's children in here and I don't think you will risk their lives, would you detective Tutuola?" The perp yelled back.
"Olivia. Go in." Cragen whispered to her. She nodded and quietly ran into the building with her gun drawn.
"Snipper are you ready?" Cragen commanded into his walked talkie.
"Affirmative , Captain."
"Let's hope this works.." Cragen frowned.
"PUT THE GUN DOWN. PUT IT DOWN!" Olivia yelled as she came into sight of the perp. He looked at her confused.
"No! I'm not going down." He yelled back .
"Listen to me, there's a sniper ready to take you out with one wrong move you make. I'd rather to take you out alive then dead."
"Mommy?" A young voice called out. Olivia turned to the group of hostages and saw a young African American boy walk out of the group and towards her.
"Stay back, sweetie. Someone please grab your kid!" She called out while her gun was still trained on the perp.
"You're my mommy!" He insisted and ran to her. He hugged her leg tightly, causing her to lower her gun.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the perp raise his gun to her.
Suddenly, a shot rang out and Olivia flinched. The perp fell to the ground; his gun clattered away.
Olivia looked down at the young boy clutched to her leg then at the hostages. "Is anyone missing their son?"
"N-no," an elderly man stepped foreword, "When he came in the bank, he was alone. Asking for his mommy, Olivia Benson. Do you know her?"
"Uh, yeah." She bent down and picked up the kid, "What's your name?"
"I'm Marcus. Im four." He smiled brightly at her. A bruise peeked out from his shirt and Olivia frowned.
"Come on, Marcus. Lets go outside." She walked out of the door towards the group of detectives.
"DADDY!" Marcus screamed and reached towards Fin.
"You have got to be kidding me." Fin frowned and looked at Munch.
"Where's Cragen? " Olivia asked and looked around the group.
"He went back to the precinct," Munch informed, "Someone called him in."
"This is the same M.O. As Jay. Same bruising and cuts.. "
"The master said I was bad.." Marcus frowned and buried his head in Olivia's neck.
"Well, apart from getting a son, Cragen wants all of us at the precinct ." Fin informed and they all walked towards their cars, Olivia holding Marcus tightly.
******************
"Are you serious?" Cragen yelled as Olivia walked in holding Marcus.
"I'm a proud father, I guess," Fin smiled jokingly.
"You're not the only one. Liv. My office. Now." Cragen commanded. She handed Marcus over to Fin and walked into the office.
"Captain?" She questioned and shut the door behind scene in front of her made her freeze.
Blue eyes met hers and he let out a sigh. Elliot got up from the chair he was sitting in and stepped towards her. She stepped back and tears formed in her eyes.
"Daddy, mommy's back." A little girl smiled up from the toys she was playing with. Her blue eyes pierced into Olivia's and Olivia backed up against the door.
"Mind explaining this, Liv?" Cragen frowned.
"W-who is that?" She stuttered.
"She says her name is Maci. She's seven." Elliot looked at Olivia and frowned.
"I never..had..anything with you?" Olivia frowned at her old partner.
"I know that, Liv. No matter how much I wanted to, I know we didn't have a kid. " Elliot looked at her then the captain.
"Liv, I don't want to do this to you.." Cragen sighed, "I need both you and Fin to hand over your badges and guns, get DNA tests, and you both are suspended until this blows over. It's already on the news."
"CAPTAIN! They aren't mine! You know that!" Olivia yelled.
"Benson. That's an order."
"Who is going to work svu then?!" She flung her badge on the desk, "Why the hell do I have two kids and Rollins get stuck with one?"
"We have some new detectives. It'll blow over soon enough. And you both didn't choose this. Whoever is doing this knows everyone on the squad and their lives." Cragen sighed and put the badge in his desk, "Take Maci and Marcus with you. Ill figure something out."
"Oh god.." Olivia groaned and walked out of the office, Elliot and Maci close behind.
"Elliot? You're back?" Munch looked at Elliot shocked.
"Cragen wants you to turn your badge and gun in. We're both suspended. Go to Melinda and get a DNA test after." Olivia informed then walked towards Warner's lab. Maci, Marcus, and Elliot followed.
