Chapter 10: Closure
A/N: The last chapter. I'm still wondering about if I'm going to do the sequel or not. I've already put a poll weather or not to do a sequel of not. By the way Richard's nick name is Dickie. It took me 2 days to prewrite this chapter, so just pay attention to who is speaking, is all I wanted to say,so last chapter read and review.
Liv, Elliot and Jason had finally arrived at the zoo. Jason was quickly amused at all the animals and at the same time sad. Elliot looked and got knee length to Jason.
"What the matter son?"
"Dad, why are the animals in cages and behind bars?"
"So they can't hurt people son."
"Oh." Jason started walking away when he noticed a sad lion cub near the side of him whimpering. Olivia and Elliot were about 5 feet away from Jas when they realized that he was not with them. Liv turned around and started going back relaxing as he was in the same spot.
"Come on Jason, we don't have all day." He then looked at the cub smiled, waved then left. It was around lunchtime when Jason told them he was hungry. They had all left the zoo and continued on to McDonalds. While Elliot ordered their food, Olivia watched Jason as he played inside the McDonalds PlayPlace. After waiting about 10 minutes they finally had a chance to eat. Elliot and Olivia laughed as Jason gulped down his Big Mac in a matter of minutes.
"Do you like your food Jason?"
"Yeah, it's good, can I get some more?"
"Well can I Liv?" Elliot asked her as they both had gotten up.
"Sure go ahead." The guys both and went to the checkout line. She was glad Elliot wasn't mad at her and that she told him. She saw how happy Jason was and realized that she should have raised him all along. Just then Elliot and Jason had finally come back from the counter. After another 10 minutes had passed, they left and began driving to Elliot's house.
"Where are we going now dad?" Jason asked him as his face was glued to the window.
"My house."
"Why?"
"To meet your other sisters and brother."
"Oh, ok." Liv and Elliot bother giggled a bit and then continued on their way.
4:30 P.M
Stabler Residence
They had finally arrived at Elliot's house, Jason jumped out the car and stood at the front door waiting for Elliot to pull up in the driveway and unlock the door. Elliot parked the car then helped Olivia out.
"Stay here, I'll let you know when to come in."
"Alright." Liv and Jason plopped down on the stairs while Elliot, on the inside was starting to call his kids down.
"You guys hurry up; I got something to tell you." It took them a while before they came downstairs. The other Stabler children had ran down the stairs to see what the matter was with their father.
"Dad, what's up?" Kathleen asked then as they all began sitting down on the couch.
"OK, I know this is going to come as a surprise to all of you guys, but you have a……"
"A what dad," Dickie asked him scratching his head.
"A little brother." They all looked among each other and busted out laughing. Elliot looked at the surprised at their reactions. After a brief, short, good laugh they finally calmed back down.
"For real dad what did you want to tell us?" Elizabeth questioned her father.
"You have a brother."
"Oh really? What's his name?" Richard questioned.
"Yeah, his name is Jason."
"Jason what?" Maureen asked.
"Jason Benson." They all looked at Elliot weird before a whole rampage of questions began being asked.
"Jason Benson?!...Is Olivia his mom?...Did you donate sperm?...How old is he?...How could you cheat on mom?...Why did this happen?" Before another question could be asked Elliot yelled for quiet, which got them to hush for about a minute.
"One question at a time." Dickie raised his hand first, so Elliot picked on him to still have some peace in this discussion.
"Just tell me his name and how old he is, and his mom and that's all, even though you told us his name already." All of them nodded agreeing that was a reasonable question to ask their father. Eliot sighed and took a deep breath.
"Jason is 5, and Olivia is his mother."
All their eyes had widened as soon as he said Liv's name. "So you had an affair?"
"No, see one night Liv and I had a one night stand after going to the bar one day after work. She got pregnant and I just found out about it yesterday. He's a good kid."
"Alright."
"Wanna meet him?"
"Sure." They all replied anxiously to see their little brother. Elliot got up and opened the door for the Liv and Jason. Jas was clinging to Elliot's leg as he closed the door. Olivia tried her hardest to pull Jas off of Elliot, but he wasn't budging. Olivia and Elliot had decided to let him be, after a while of his older sibling staring at him he faunally came out of some of his shyness and began talking to them.
"Hi." Jason told them with his hand near his mouth as shyly as he could.
"Hey Jason." The girls had told them as he began walking toward them.
"Mom, what do I say now?" They had all begun laughing when Dickie decided to end it. "So this is what it's like to have a younger brother?" He commented as Jason sat on the side of him.
"Yeah, I guess, I don't know." Jas shrugged his shoulders a bit then started asking Richard more questions.
"Do we look alike?"
"Yeah we look like dad, a lot." They both smiled and hugged each other.
Benson Residence
7:30 P.M
Olivia, Jason, and Elliot had finally come back home for the day. It had been 2 days since Olivia and Jason started living together that she noticed he still hadn't talked a bath.
"Elliot, why don't you give Jason a bath?" She had suggested to him as she laid on the couch.
"OK." He picked Jason up and took him in the bathroom, closing the door behind them. Elliot sat on the toilet noticing that Jason had begun crying. He let Jason go noticing he was in the corner crying his heart out.
"Please don't hurt me." Jason pleaded to Elliot. Ell got up furious at what his son had been thought going to talk to Liv.
"What the hell did they do to my son?"
Olivia looked at him stunned. "What do you mean what happened to him?" They both left the living room now going into the bathroom. Olivia hugged Jas comforting and assuring him that everything would be ok.
"What's going on buddy?" Elliot asked Jason as he sat on the opposite side of Liv.
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Please tell me, you won't get in trouble."
"Please don't make me tell dad."
"Jason, I promise they will never hurt you again."
"No please, I'll be killed if I tell."
"If you don't tell me I can't protect you son."
"OK."
"Just tell me Jason, you'll feel better when you tell."
"Gary."
"What?!" Olivia looked at him surprised that he would do something to Jason. She never got that pervertish vibe from him except the time he touched her inappropriate when she was staying with them for her pregnancy.
"Liv who is Gary?"
"My friends husband, the one who raised Jason theses past 5 years until I decided to step up to the plate."
"Well you see what your actions do?" He began to raise his voice at her.
"Elliot, I didn't think…..," she had just been cut off.
"Yeah, you're exactly right, you didn't think." She rolled her eyes at him and went back to Jason. Elliot turned off his bath water as Olivia took off his shirt. While she took off some of his clothing, they had bother seen several bruises all over him. Jason put his head down embarrassed of what his mother and father would though when they saw this.
"Gay did this to all of you?"
"Yeah." Jason finished undressing himself and went into the bathtub. Liv and Ell left him so that he could be alone; they then went into his bedroom and sat on his bed.
"Olivia how could you let this happen?"
"It's not like I asked."
"Where does this guy live?"
"In Chicago, I'm not about to help you destroy my friendship with Ashley."
"A real friend wouldn't support a rapist."
Olivia stared at him for a while then broke the silence. "Ok, but we report it out there, its stay out there."
"Ok fine."

5:00 P.M
Gary, Ashley, and the girls were all home alone when the doorbell tang. Sofia answered the door reveling 2 uniformed officers.
"Is Gary home miss?" The one police officer spoke in a heavy deep Russian accent.
"Yes," she turned around and closed the door up a bit, "Daddy!" Gary came to the door signaling for his daughters to go upstairs.
"What can I do for you officers?"
"Please turn around with your hands behind your back." The other officer told him.
"For what?"
"Gary Davis, you are under arrest for child molestation, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say will and can be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney, if you do not have an attorney, one will be appointed to you." As they finished telling him his rights his family was watching, along with the other neighbors. Gary was now in the back of the police car awaiting interrogation.
3 Weeks Later
It had been 3 week since Gary had been arrested for molesting Jason. It didn't take Ashley long to figure out who had reported it to the police. During his trial, 2 other boys had testified that Gary had molested them years ago. Gary had been sentenced to jail for 30 years along with probation. It had been about 2 days later when Ashley found out she was pregnant with Gary's 3rd child. After this case Liv, Elliot, and Jason had finally come back into New York.
November 7
7:30 A.M
Benson Residence
Olivia and Jason had both gotten a late start today due to having to catch the redeye flight last night. This morning Jason barely wanted to get ready, while Liv did the same for work. She just wanted to go ahead and face Cragen already. She knew he would be mad at both of them leaving and going way beyond jurisdictions. Olivia was now putting on her shoes while going into the kitchen to make them both some toast when the doorbell rang.
"Jason go buzz up your father." Jason locked the door and waited for Elliot to come in. Ell had brought with him a cup of tea, hot chocolate and coffee for all 3 of them. Elliot handed Jason his hot chocolate as Olivia tied his shoes. Olivia came out of the kitchen grabbing their coats heading out the apartment. Elliot managed to hand Liv her tea before they got outside. They were now on their way.
"Mommy?"
"Yes Jason?"
"My teacher said she wanted to see you and dad for my report card."
"Oh, ok. Just tell her to call me on my cell."
"Okay." They continued eating and drinking until they got to the school. Jason hopped out and began running towards the building when Elliot called his name. He came back opening his mother's door. "What?"
"We love you." They both told his as Olivia kissed him and for forehead and told him to go ahead. Jason smiled at them before he continued running back towards the school. Liv and Elliot had continued their ride to work smiling and giggling at each other.
"What?" Elliot asked her as calm as he could.
"Cragen's gonna have a field day with us."
"I agree."
"And you're not one bit mad at that?"
"Nope, it was all for a good cause. Jason's happier and I've noticed you are too."
"Yeah, Ashley isn't that mad at me. She doesn't want what happened to ruin our friendship, so we're cool now."
"That's good." Elliot took her hand and started holding it.
"What are you doing?" Olivia asked him as she stared at his hand. Elliot quickly moved his hand after she asked him.
"Uhm nothing, just being friendly."
"Yeah ok." Olivia smirked and continued applying her lipstick.
SVU Precinct
8:10 A.M
Olivia and Eliot had just entered the squad room. Everyone was there talking and drinking Munch's day old coffee, Liv walked over to throw away her tea cup when everybody started greeting them back.
"Nice to see you back Liv."Fin and Lake had both told her.
"We missed you." Casey, Huang, Warner, and Much told Elliot. They all went to sit down. When Olivia looked ahead past Elliot's desk she noticed Cragen was staring her down. She then looked down on her desk noticing that there was a note on her desk. After she read and folded back the note. "Busted." They both got up and went into his office. After they got inside, Cragen closed the door behind them along with the blinds.
"Elliot, Olivia sit." They sat at the front of his desk with Cragen on the side of Elliot. "What the hell is wrong with you two? You guys went to Chicago just to get a rapist. I could of made called and arranged everything if you would of just of told me. You guys no better than to bring your guns outside this city. I'm very disappointed in the both of you; by the way what case was this?"
"Its personal captain," Olivia told him.
"Tell me now detective."
"I was just trying to help my son find justice." Cragen looked at her strangely before he started asking questions.
"How old is your son?"
"Jason is 5, and he's our son captain."
"So the both you of played your part in this."
"Yes sir, we did." Elliot looked at him waiting for him to reply.
"When?"
"Do you remember that 6 month vacation I took?" Olivia asked him.
Cragen looked at her and nodded. "You lied to me; your friend didn't really have cancer."
"I know I feel horrible about this."
"Well you should."
"Sorry."
"Sorry's not good enough." Cragen got up and left out along with leaving the door wide open.
"I take it we can leave." Elliot told Olivia as they both got up and headed back to their desk.
"Yeah, I guess." After they left his office, everyone in the squad room was looked at them, which was quiet embarrassing. Casey was sitting on the corner of Lake's desk.
"You guys ok." Fin asked them laid back in his chair.
"Yeah, just got our ass busted by Captain." Elliot told him as he turned his computer on.
"How bad was it?"
"Enough to get him pissed off at us."
"That sucks."
"Yeah it does." Elliot had continued to go back to his work. That morning had gone by quiet. It had been a couple of hours before Fin and Lake had suggested that they all go get some lunch. They all agreed as they grabbed their things and headed to Subway.
Subway Restaurant
2:00 P.M
Liv, Elliot, Lake, Fin and Much were all inside Subway eating their subs when Olivia's phone rang.
"Benson……ok…..will be there as soon as possible….ok…Bye." All the guys were looking at her wondering if everything was ok.
"What?" Olivia asked them as she began wrapping back up her sub.
"What happened?" Elliot asked her as he took another bite out of his food.
"We gotta go?" Olivia told him as she began putting back on her coat. Elliot looked at her surprised not knowing what she was talking about. "You-know-what." Liv and Elliot both got up and without any explanation to the gang about what was going on, they just assumed it was urgent by the way they had quickly left out. They were now in the back of the car when Elliot started asking questions.
"What's going on?"
"Jason's teacher called saying that his eye was a little red, the nurse told him it was pinkeye."
"If looked fine earlier."
"Yeah, I know, but he's been rubbing his eyes lately."
"Oh." They had finally arrived at Jason's school. Olivia went in and came back about 10 minutes later with Jason. He had hopped into the back seat of the car while Olivia put his backpack in the trunk. After she came back inside the car they were back on their way.
"Where are we taking him?"
"To work with us?"
"Sure?"
"Yeah, it's about time."
"Alright, let's do this."
SVU Squad Room
2:45 P.M
Olivia, Elliot and Jason had all entered the squad room. Cragen had been sitting on the corner of Liv's desk when he noticed that a small boy was holding Olivia's hand.
"Who is this detective?"
"This is our son Jason." As soon as Olivia had said that, all of her fellow co-workers looked surprised at her. They didn't have no idea Olivia was a mother and that Elliot was the father. Lake left his desk and shook Jason's hand; Jas smiled at him then sat in Olivia's chair.
"Cute kid, probably a bad ass like Elliot."
"No total opposite."
"Maybe when he gets older."
"Yeah, maybe." The rest of the gang introduced themselves to Jason. Olivia and Elliot both felt relieved that everyone knew they knew that it was the only right thing to do.
December 24
Christmas Eve
Benson Residence
It had been about a month since Liv finally stepped up to raise her son, tell Elliot, put Gary in prison, and move from her small apartment to a reasonable house for her and Elliot to watch Jason grow up in. This was the first Christmas all of them had ever been together. Everyone was in the living room watching "The Santa Clause", one of the specials ABC Family was showing, along with drinking the hot chocolate Elliot had made all of them. Jason was sitting in Olivia's lap taking up most of her cover. As it got later into the night, Elliot watched as his children and Olivia drifted away to sleep. While they were sleeping, Ell decided to put her gift next to her. The next morning Olivia woke up only to find a small present next to her hand. After opening it, her present from her him was a heart shaped locket with Elliot's and Jason's picture inside it. Ell watched her from a distance while she put it on; Elliot came out from the corner and looked at her smiling. Olivia got up, putting Jason where she was at and went to hug Elliot.
"Thank you so much Elliot."
"You welcome."
"Thanks for everything."
"Liv?"
"What?"
"Thanks for letting me meet my son."
"You welcome, besides I didn't want him remaining a secret child forever."
