A/N: Thanks for the reviews guys!

Olivia grabbed onto Elliot's arm to steady herself. There she was, standing in front of them looking straight at them with a smug look on her face, Vivian Arliss.

Fin began to lead her into the interrogation room, but Vivian moved toward Elliot and Olivia. "Hey Olivia, Elliot." She said with malice in her voice.

"Vivian" was all Olivia could manage to say. She knew she had to get Vivian alone to speak with her, to find out what the hell she was doing in New York, but didn't want to get Fin caught up in what she and Elliot had done.

Fin put Vivian in the box and began to interrogate her regarding Walter Burlock's death. Olivia and Elliot watched from the other side of the mirror. "Fuck, El. What if she tells Fin we paid her to leave town?" Olivia said with panic in her voice.

Elliot looked at her, put his hands on her shoulders and said "Liv, you need to calm down and keep quiet. Don't say stuff like that in here. You never know who is listening. You also need to remember that WE didn't pay her anything. It was all me. Remember that."

"Fuck that, Elliot!" she screamed not caring who heard her at this point. "There's no way I will let you go down for this."

Cragen walked through the door, just in time to hear the tail end of their conversation. "Who's not going down for what?" he asked.

"Nothing Cap" Elliot responded. "Liv and I were just having a friendly disagreement about something" he said staring at Olivia telling her with his eyes to keep her mouth shut.

"Okay, whatever. You two really need to relax though. Fin get anything out of her yet?" Cragen said looking at his two detectives.

"She just confessed to killing Burlock" Elliot began.

From out of nowhere, Sarah, Vivian's girlfriend appeared and confessed that she was the one who killed Burlock.

Cragen dragged Fin out of the interrogation with Vivian and had him talk to Sarah. Against his better judgment, he let Elliot and Olivia talk to Vivian. They informed her that Sarah was in the other room confessing to everything. Vivian finally relented explaining that she was trying to protect Sarah, as Sarah had done for her by killing Burlock.

Vivian changed the subject abruptly "How's Calvin?" she asked looking at Olivia.

"Vivian, this isn't the time or place for this." She responded.

"I'm asking how my boy is Olivia! I deserve an answer!" she screamed.

"Deserve? You don't deserve anything when it comes to that boy Vivian! You basically sold" she was immediately cut off by Elliot, who knew Cragen was on the other side of the mirror listening to everything.

"Look, Vivian, you're free to go. Sarah confessed. She'll be arraigned tomorrow." Elliot said helping her up and leading her toward the door.

She whispered in Olivia's ear "You and Elliot meet me in Central Park by the north fountain in an hour. We need to talk about Calvin." Olivia's heart sank. She nodded her head to Vivian, hoping the Captain would not notice.

Fin took Sarah down to Central Booking, while Elliot and Olivia made their way back to their desks. He could see that she was visibly shaken and wondered what Vivian had said to her. He looked at her, asking what was wrong without speaking.

Olivia walked around to Elliot's desk and leaned over as if they were discussing the case. She moved papers around on his desk in case anyone was watching them. "Vivian wants to meet us in Central Park in an hour to discuss Calvin." She whispered with a clear sound of panic in her voice.

"Okay….okay…so we will meet her. Liv, let's not borrow trouble okay? We'll talk to her and find out why the hell she's back."

"I know why she's back, El. She either wants Calvin or more money." Olivia responded stoically.

"There is no way she went through all the money I have her in a few months Liv."

"You never told me how much you actually gave her, El. I think full disclosure is in order right now."

"Liv, if I tell you…..if I just don't tell you then you don't know and when it comes time to deny it, you won't be lying."

"Elliot! Dammit! Just tell me" she said seething.

He knew that look. There was no way she was letting up. "I have her nine grand" he said.

"Holy shit Elliot! Where the hell did you get that kind of money? I thought you gave her enough to eat and a bus trip for two to Florida a thousand bucks, maybe."

"I had to make it worth her while to leave, Liv. Don't worry about where I got the money. Point is I got it, but I don't have any more to give her. If that's what she wants, I got nothing." He explained, feeling as if he were somehow letting Olivia down.

"Hell no El! She is not getting another dime out of either us. I will not be blackmailed. Let's just go now to the park and wait for her. I need some air. I can't breathe in here."

They told Fin they were going to lunch and might be a little longer than usual as they each had a couple of errands to run. Fin said he would cover for them and told them to enjoy. The park was about ten blocks from the squad room. They began walking down the streets of Manhattan. Elliot grabbed Olivia's hand and intertwined their fingers. She looked at him and smiled. Somehow even during this clusterfuck that has now become her life, Elliot always had a way of making her feel like everything would be okay. He was her rock, and she needed him now more than ever.

They arrived at the park and saw Vivian already there waiting for them. Elliot bought Olivia's hand to his mouth and kissed it. "You ready for this?" he asked.

"Yeah….I can do this" she responded.

Vivian stood up, looking disheveled and high as a kite. "Well look at you two. The perfect little fuckin couple and my son just makes your family complete doesn't he?" she said viciously.

"What do you want Viv?" Olivia asked shaking.

"You know what I want Olivia. I want to see my son."

"That's not a good idea. He's doing really well. I think seeing you might upset" Vivian raised her hand and cut Olivia off.

"You think my son seeing me would upset him? I'm his mother Olivia! Not you!"

"Lemme ask you this Vivian" Olivia began with more confidence building in her voice. "What the hell kind of mother sells her kid for nine grand?"

Vivian's voice became loud as she raised her hand to slap Olivia, "You bitch!" Before she had a chance to connect with Olivia's face Elliot was all over her pulling her away.

"You ever try to touch her again, I'll haul your ass in for assaulting a police officer" he said to her.

"Oh big bad Detective Stabler coming to Olivia's rescue. Well, gee then I might have to tell someone how you paid me nine grand to get lost so you could have my kid. How do you think your Captain would like that little story?" Vivian said smugly.

They knew she had them. They were screwed either way. She would have to let Calvin see his mother.

"Okay, Vivian. You win. Come by my place tonight and you can see Calvin, but so help me God Vivian if you upset that child I will throw your ass out!" Olivia said as she and Elliot walked away.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Olivia had explained to Calvin that his mother was back in town and would be coming by to see him tonight. He seemed visibly upset by the news.

"Calvin, honey what's wrong? Do you not want to see your mom?" she asked concerned.

"No….no it's not that….I'm just a little…a little scared Olivia. I don't wanna leave here. I love being here with you and when Elliot comes over we have an awesome time."

She felt the tears trickle from her eyes at his words.

"I know you love Elliot honey. He loves you too. I love you. I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure you can stay with me. I promise." She said wrapping her arms around him hugging him tightly.

Elliot watched from the doorway of Olivia's bedroom. Olivia was facing him. He could see the tears streaming down her face and knew she needed a break. He knew she didn't want to explain to Calvin why she was crying.

"Hey" he shouted coming out of the doorway. "What'd ya say I let you beat me at that new video game you got?" he said looking at Olivia motioning for her to go into the bedroom.

"In your dreams!" Calvin shouted back.

Olivia made her way to the bedroom. Looking back at Calvin and Elliot, she smiled. She had a family, sort of. They may not be the most conventional family but they were her family. Her smile quickly faded as she heard the doorbell ring. Elliot looked at her waved her into the bedroom. He knew she wouldn't want Vivian to see her so distraught.

"That's gotta be your mom, kid. You wanna answer it?" Elliot asked.

"Umm, yeah sure…umm Elliot?" Calvin stuttered.

Elliot turned around to look at him. "Yeah?"

"You're not leaving right? You'll be here while I visit with my mom right? And Olivia too?"

"I'm not going anywhere kid. I promise. Liv will be out in a few minutes."

Calvin made his way to the door. Putting his hand around the knob he slowly turned it. As soon as he opened it, Vivian grabbed him pulling him into a hug. He hugged her back, but quickly pulled away.

"Hey baby" Vivian said cupping his face in her hands. "You've grown."

"Hi mom" he said softly. "You want something to drink? Olivia has a lot of stuff in the fridge" he asked as he lead her to the couch to sit down.

"No, I'm fine baby but thank you." She replied.

Vivian looked up at Elliot and nodded, acknowledging his presence. He gave her a look of disgust that he hoped Calvin missed.

Olivia walked out of the bedroom and immediately went to stand with Elliot. He put his hand on the small of her back to let her know he was there.

Calvin proceeded to tell Vivian all about school and the new friends he's made. He showed her his room and all the things Olivia had bought for him.

They all sat around the living room, each of them knowing how awkward the situation was. Vivian broke the silence with a startling question to Calvin "Hey baby, what'd ya say to moving back in with your mom and Sarah?"

"Mom, I have friends here. I love my school. I love Olivia and Elliot. I don't want to leave them." He said as he began to cry.

"Vivian!" Olivia said sternly. "I told you not to upset him, didn't I?"

"Calvin, baby I understand that you love it here but you'll make friends again. You, me and Sarah are gonna get a great apartment. You'll have so many new friends you won't know what to do with them."

"I don't wanna leave!" he screamed at Vivian.

"Calvin, I am your mother. Olivia is not your mother. Elliot is not your father. This is my decision, not yours and it's been made. You are coming back to live with me. I'll let you stay here tonight, but I'll be back tomorrow to get you, so make sure you have your stuff packed."

"Can I go to my room?" Calvin asked looking at Olivia.

"Sure, honey. Go ahead. I'll be there in a minute" Olivia replied.

She watched as Calvin went to his bedroom and waited until she heard the door shut. She quickly turned around with so much anger in her face, Elliot was even shocked.

"Vivian! What the hell are you doing? You traumatized that boy! Elliot and I have been the only family he's known for months and you just told him you're taking him away from us! We had a deal. We walk away, you leave and I get Calvin!"

"Yeah, well I changed my mind, Olivia!" Vivian screamed back.

"You don't get to change your mind about something like that! He's a child not something you return to the store when you can't be bothered then go buy again when you want him back!"

Hearing the commotion from his bedroom, Calvin came running out and screamed "Stop it! All of you! Stop fighting over me! I can't take it anymore!" He ran for the front door and stormed out.

Elliot put up his hand and said "I'll go talk to him." "Do you think you too can relax enough not to draw blood while I'm gone?"

Olivia slapped him in the arm an appreciated the fact that he was trying to lighten the mood. She walked Elliot to the door and said "Find him, El. Please. He's so upset."

He rubbed his hands up and down her arms and said "I will. He's fine, just blowing off some steam. I'll call you as soon as I find him" he said kissing her goodbye.

Olivia closed the door behind him and turned to Vivian. "You are some bitch Vivian!"

"You know what Olivia? Think what you want about me, judge me all you want but at the end of the day, Calvin is my child not yours!" Vivian replied.

Vivian then made her way to the door but turned to Olivia and said "I'll be back tomorrow night at 8 p.m. for him. Make sure he's ready. Oh by the way, I almost forgot I'll see you in court" she said smiling reaching in her pocketbook handing Olivia an official looking paper.

Olivia opened up the paper and turned white as a sheet. Although she didn't want Vivian to see she had gotten to her, she couldn't help the tears that began to fall. "You're suing me for custody?" she whispered.
