A month had passed since Skylar had been placed with Olivia and Elliot. Olivia and Elliot hadn't been able to go back to work because the Jacksons had placed death threats on Aria, Olivia, and Elliot. Olivia was now about thirteen weeks along in her pregnancy and Aria's birthday party quickly approaching. Olivia had already been told that once she came back to work she was on desk duty. It was 7 in the morning and Olivia was already up along with Skylar because she had a night mare and was afraid to go back to sleep. Olivia and Skylar were the only ones up so Olivia thought that she would get to know more about Skylar. "Skylar, why did you try to kill yourself last month?"
Skylar looked up at Olivia and cuddled closer to her side. "Well the kids at school bullied me a lot."
Olivia asked "Why honey?"
Skylar sighed "because I don't know who my real dad is he hurt my mom and then I got hurt by another man." She cried and Olivia held onto Skylar and comforted her best she could. Skylar just cried "Mommy I don't want to go back to my old mommy she is the one who let this all happen to me she doesn't love me like you do"
Olivia's heart sunk as she heard this little girl call her mommy "baby girl I promise I won't let anything happen to you again. We have court today and you can tell them why you don't want to go back." She looked at her watch and then said "we have to be there in two hours so go and get changed while I get Elliot and Aria up. Then I will fix your hair okay."
Skylar wiped the tears off of her face and nodded and ran to her room to get changed. Olivia then walked into her and Elliot's room "El it is time to get up and shower we have the custody hearing today." Elliot woke up and nodded at Olivia and then walked into the bathroom to shower. Then Olivia walked into Aria's room "Aria, Honey it is time to wake up Skylar wants to see you." Aria opened her eyes and smiled at her mommy. Olivia got her out of bed and then dressed her in a little pink dress with White sandals and put her hair in a white ribbon. Then she went into the living room and she placed Aria in her play pen and sat on the couch.
Skylar came in wearing a white dress which made her auburn hair look much redder and then she went to Olivia and asked "Can you braid my hair for me mommy?" Elliot had just walked out of his room in a blue suit with a white shirt underneath with black dress shoes and he froze when he heard Skylar call Olivia Mommy.
Olivia smiled and got the brush and ponytail holder and said "I sure can baby."
Elliot looked at Olivia "She calls you mommy since when?"
Olivia smiles as she began brushing Skylar's hair "This morning."
Elliot smiled and then went and got Aria out of her play pen "good morning Aria"
Aria smiled "morning." And she kissed her daddy's check."
Olivia smiled and quickly snapped a picture of it then she finished Skylar's hair "Skye go stand with Elliot and Aria so I can take your picture."
Skylar went over to Elliot "Good morning daddy and Aria" Elliot just smiled and picked Skylar up with his free hand as Olivia snapped the picture.
Then Olivia went and changed into a black skirt with a purple blouse which showed her baby bump very good and black flats. Elliot then kissed Olivia "time for your picture with the girls." Olivia sighed and put her arm around Aria and Skylar. Skylar placed a hand on Olivia's stomach and Aria copied it placing her hand on top of Skylar's. Elliot snapped the picture then the family ate a quick breakfast. "It is 8:30 lets go." With that Elliot picked Aria up and then Skylar got in between Olivia and Elliot and held each of their hands. Once they got to the car Skylar got in behind the passenger seat and Elliot put Aria in her car seat in the middle Olivia got in the passenger seat Elliot got in the driver's seat and drove to the court house once they got there Alex was already there along with Don, Serena, Fin, and Munch. They then walked in and Skylar was called to the stand shortly after the court started.
The social worker's attorney then asked "Skylar why did you try to kill yourself?"
Skylar looked at Olivia and Olivia gave her a nod. "Because people at my old school bullied me."
The attorney asked "Why?"
Skylar began crying lightly and looked at Alex and she nodded "Because a man hurt my mommy and I was born and then another man hurt me." This time Skylar was crying harder and Olivia gripped Elliot's hand while hearing Skylar's answers while Serena buried her face into Don's shoulder so that Aria wouldn't see her cry.
After the judge heard what the little girl had to say he didn't take any time to even hear what Alex had to ask. He looked around the court and said "no more questions, I have come to my decision and I think that Skylar is in the best home she can be in and I give full custody to Olivia and Elliot Stabler. This little girl has been through a lot and her mother signed her rights over. Olivia and Elliot you may apply to adopt Skylar if you wish too. This case is adjourned." With that he hit his mallet on the wood and walked away from the stand.
Skylar hugged Olivia and Elliot, then she hugged Don, Serena and Aria then Alex came up "Ice cream? My treat"
The group agreed and all went out for Ice Cream. Skylar looked at Olivia with her big blue eyes and asked "Mommy can I change my name to Skyla instead of Skylar?"
Olivia smiled"if that is what you want honey but Skylar is such a pretty name."
Skylar looked at Olivia "But you started calling me Skye and it could be short for Skyla and you're my mommy so you named me. My old mommy named me Skylar and it sounds like a boy's name."
Olivia looked to Alex and smiled. "I will get the name changing papers and the Adoption papers if you want me to." Olivia nodded and Alex smiled and started texting and emailing judges and the DA.
The group went out for Ice cream and then went to the store to help Skye pick out whatever she wanted for her room and for clothes to wear.
Two weeks Later June 2, 2011 3:00 am
Olivia woke up to a horrible Cry from Skye's room. She got to her feet and ran to Skye's room she seen Skye was sleeping so she went over to her bed and started to wake her up "Skye Honey wake up it is just a dream."
Skye woke up and fell into her mother's arms "mommy it was so scary." She put her arms around Olivia and cried
Olivia patted Skye's back "Honey it was just a nightmare. Tell me about it Sweetie."
Skye rose up off of Olivia's shoulder "Mommy the man came back and hurt you and Aria and then he hurt me again after he shot daddy." Skye Cried even more. Olivia kissed her head Skye looked at her mom through sobs "Can I sleep with you and daddy tonight?" Olivia nodded as Skye got out of her bed and walked to her parents' bedroom. It had been two weeks since Elliot and Olivia had applied to adopt Skye and had changed her name to Skyla Marie Stabler but they call her Skye for short. The adoption was taking longer than expected but it was almost over with no one had tried to fight it so they were only a few days from legalizing the adoption.
Skye got into bed with her parents and went right to sleep. At around 8 o clock Olivia was already awake and fixing Aria's Favorite Breakfast which was Pancakes and Scrambled Eggs. At 8:30 Elliot walked out of his room with Skye walking right behind him. Olivia put the plates on the Table as Elliot went and got Aria out of her crib which was going to be replaced by Elliot while the girls were shopping today. Elliot Brought her in and sat her in her high chair Skye began singing "Happy Birthday to you" Elliot and Olivia joined in "Happy Birthday to you Happy birthday Dear Aria Happy Birthday to you"
