A/N: So suprisingly MAJORITY of you were right in guessing Don, I had tried to make it obvious that it was between John Munch and Don Cragen the whole time but obviously failed at that … LOL but there we have it… I knew it was fucked up as soon as I got the idea but still I went with it.
Chapter 6
When the day for court finally came it wasn't as big an issue as they had first thought. Because both Olivia and Don wanted the same thing there was no fight, just a legal agreement to be made in the presence of two lawyers and a judge.
"Captain Cragen, do you understand that in putting your name on Amelia Jasmine Benson's birth certificate that you take on all legal aspects of being the legal parent? This includes custody agreements and child support of which you know is a large percentage of your annual income?"
"I do your Honour." Cragen said his hand holding Olivia's where they were stood side by side facing the judge received a gentle squeeze.
"And do you Olivia Benson, in the case of putting Don Cragen's name as Amelia Jasmine Benson's birth certificate understand his right to a custody agreement where as he can have unsupervised access with his child?"
"Yes I do your honour."
"Then I guess we can sign the document, will you be going through the court to devise a custody agreement?" The judge asked as both parties stepped forward with their lawyer.
"Not yet." Olivia smiled.
"We've already devised a custody agreement of our own until AJ starts school." Don explained to the judge who nodded, cases like this inspired him especially in knowing that AJ was an anonymous sperm donor originally.
As AJ began sobbing in her pushchair Olivia collected her into her arms and happily passed her to Don. Things were working out for now.
"Olivia, Don, as shocking at it is that you have a child together in the most unusual of circumstances, may I say you both have a beautiful daughter." The judge smiled and Olivia and Don grinned back and nodded, they sure did.
The lawyers bode goodbye to their clients and the two of them decided to go for a walk and then to lunch before going back to the one six.
"The strangest thing is out of all of this Olivia, is when you gave birth, I got to cut the cord, I have the third band, I did everything a dad should do when a child is born not even knowing she was mine." Don smiled as they sat at a bistro enjoying lunch while AJ slept.
"I'm sorry I kept it from you as long as I did Don. It shocked me to say the least… I didn't know how to tell you that AJ was biologically yours. I'm glad I did though." She smiled and he smiled right back at her.
"Me too, the truth is Olivia, I'm not getting any younger… I'll never meet any children she may have, so I'll never be a grandparent really but I'm blessed to have been given the opportunity to be a dad at all, biologically, I mean I've always seen you as a daughter…"
"Which is weird, this is where I saw all of this being strange you know, you're like a dad to me, you have been for thirteen years and all of a sudden I gave birth to your daughter… it took time to come to terms with." She said and he nodded.
"Tell me about it." He smiled.
THE END
