"Want me to walk you inside?" Olivia asked as she stood by the car. She was being a typical Mom taking her kid to a new school away from people he knew.
"No Mom I'll be fine." Calvin smiled looking over at the school. He just wished she'd go already before he'd get caught hanging out by the car with his Mom.
"Ok there's your cell phone, remember to only switch it on in emergencies or when the last bell rings. You've got your lunch in your backpack and I'll pick you up around six if there's a problem I will call you and tell you who is picking you up and you wait ..."
"Inside the building until they come get me. I know Mom." Calvin sighed, she'd been repeating the same piece of instructions all morning. She kissed him on the head and watched as he ran off.
"Have a good day!" She yelled.
"Bye Mom!" He called waving without looking back. Olivia climbed back into the car.
"He's a big boy, he'll be fine!" Elliot smiled.
"I know, I'm just ..." Olivia's voice broke as a tear made its way down her cheek.
"A worried Mom." Elliot finished the sentence for her. "Every parent goes through it on their kids first day at school doesn't matter how old they get, I remember Maureen starting, I was a mess." He laughed as he pulled away from the sidewalk.
"I know he'll be fine." Olivia smiled.
"By the way I didn't tell you what Katie told me yesterday." He said as they drove towards the 1-6 precinct.
"What's that?" She asked already checking her phone.
"That Kathy has a new obsession with a camera and a laptop she bought, and apparently she hasn't been using it with the kids." He explained.
"Really so you think Kathy is our stalker?" Olivia asked not really believing it.
"It's a strong possibility Liv." Elliot sighed.

Once at the precinct they both sat at their desks. Olivia had already had a picture of her and Calvin but she had removed it when he was taken as it hurt too much to look at it. Luckily, Maureen had taken one of her and Elliot with him and so she had it framed and now she placed it on her desk.
"Guys." Elliot said going over to Munch and Fin. "My ex wife apparently has bought a new camera and laptop so can you stop dancing around and drag her in for questioning."
"Ok Elliot." Munch smiled and he and Fin headed straight out of the front door.

It had taken Munch and Fin almost four hours to collect Kathy Malone and dump her in the interrogation room. They were now giving her some time to sweat before going in to question her.
"How come it took you so long?" Elliot asked.
"Because she wasn't home." Munch shrugged.
"Then where was she?" He asked feeling a little confused.
"Outside the precinct. There was a camera in her car too so we have called both Alex and Casey to see which one of them can get the warrant first.
"Right enough talk go and question Kathy. Elliot and Olivia you can come and listen in." Cragen said and they all headed towards the interrogation room.
"So Kathy do you know what stalking is?" Munch asked taking the seat opposite her whilst Fin walked around the table.
"Yes." She replied.
"And you know it's against the law." Fin said.
"Yes." Kathy replied sighing.
"So why d'ya do it?" Fin said stopping behind her and leaning in to her ear.
"I didn't." She replied. "And unless you're arresting me I'd like to go now. I know the Law my ex husband is a cop."
"You can go." Fin sighed.
"That was a waste of time." Olivia sighed as Kathy walked out the door.
No one had expected anything to happen but Kathy flew at Olivia and threw a punch at her. Elliot grabbed Olivia knowing that she was about to punch back and Kathy spat at her.
"You stole my husband you Bitch!" She yelled as Munch and Fin dragged her away.
"Kathy Malone, you are under arrest for assaulting a cop ..." Fin's voice died away as he dragged Kathy out.
"Olivia are you alright?" Cragen asked.
Olivia was dumbstruck and kept her hand to her cheek.
"Let me see?" Elliot asked turning her to face him and prying her hand away.
There was a little bit of blood and already a dark purple bruise.
"Get cleaned up, I don't see why we won't get a warrant now." Cragen said leaving them alone.
"I'm sorry." Elliot sighed wrapping her hands around Olivia.
"Why? You didn't punch me." She sighed.
"No but I didn't know she could act like that." Elliot explained.
"Ouch." Olivia groaned as Elliot's shirt brushed against her cheek.
"Come on you need an ice pack." He smiled leading her to her desk. He sat her down and went up to get an ice pack. Olivia laughed to herself, she didn't steal Elliot but she thought it was amusing that Kathy thought she did.
"Olivia, stay away from the lock up till we can take Kathy to central booking." Munch said coming back into the squad room.
"I want to talk to her." Olivia said getting to her feet.
"Not until she's been booked, she's asked for a lawyer." Cragen said coming towards her.
Olivia sighed but she didn't argue back. Elliot returned with an ice pack and gently pressed it to Olivia's cheek.
"Ouch." She groaned as the cold made contact with her skin.
"I'm sorry baby." Elliot whispered.
Baby? She could get used to that.
"Can you take it, I need to arrange that the kids come to ours tonight as Kathy will spend the night in a cell." Elliot explained.
"Of course." She smiled sitting back in her chair and pressing the ice pack to her cheek.
"I've got the warrant." Alex smiled coming into the squad room.
Olivia spun her chair around to face Alex.
"Olivia what happened?" She asked coming over to her.
"Our stalker punched me." She explained.
"So she's under arrest?" Alex asked.
"Yes and invoked too so she's going to central booking." Olivia smiled.
"Well the sooner we have the camera the sooner we can add stalking to the list of charges." Alex explained.
"Yup, I just want that woman far enough away from me as is humanly possibly, I didn't know she was capable of this." Olivia sighed.
"Got the camera." Munch smiled coming back into the squad room.
"That was fast." Alex smiled.
"Yeah well she is sat in our lock up and her car was just out front." He smiled and he took the card out of the camera and loaded the pictures up onto the large screen.
"Ok so all of these were taken today I'm guessing Liv, unless you were the same outfit twice in a row." Munch laughed as he went through the pictures.
Kissing outside the precinct, holding hands walking towards the precinct.
"No!" Olivia gasped jumping to her feet and throwing the ice pack onto her desk. "She took pictures of me with my son?" She yelled. "I'm gonna kill her!" Olivia roared heading towards the lock ups.
Luckily Elliot was near the stairs and ran to grab her just as she was arriving.
"Stay away from my son you bitch!" Olivia yelled as she fought against Elliot's arms.
"Your son?" Kathy laughed.
"Yes my son! Stalking me and Elliot is one thing but my son is another you cow. I will ..." Elliot cupped his hand across her mouth to stop her from finishing what she was going to say. Fin grabbed Olivia around the ankles and he and Elliot carried Olivia into the squad room.
"Put me down!" She yelled. Elliot and Fin did as she told them.
"Olivia we can get her on a different charge with taking photos of a minor without parental consent or stalking a minor if we can find more. He is under eleven isn't he?" Alex asked turning to Olivia.
"Yeah he's nine." Olivia answered angrily.
John continued going through the photos, there were some taken in the park that Sunday. Some of them leaving Church, entering church, leaving their home.
"Oh my God she knows where we live." Olivia sighed putting her head in her hand.
"It's ok Olivia she's going to stay away. I'm getting TRO's for you and Calvin until this is cleaned up." Alex smiled rubbing Olivia's shoulder.
"Ok." Olivia smiled, it was a small comfort.

"She's out on bail." Alex said coming into the squad room.
"She's what?" Elliot asked.
"I'm sorry, I tried to have her sent to Ricker's but the judge set bail at fifty thousand dollars and her parents bailed her out less than an hour ago. But she has the restraining order and she knows she's not to come anywhere near you." Alex explained.
"I'm looking for Detective Stabler and Benson?" A man came into the squad room.
"Yeah over here." Elliot said putting his arm around Olivia's waist.
"Just sign for this please." He said handing Elliot a clipboard which he then passed to Olivia who also signed as Elliot read the letter.
"Oh my God Liv listen to this. I Kathy Malone relieve myself of all parental responsibility of Maureen Stabler, Kathleen Stabler, Elizabeth Stabler and Richard Stabler. These rights I pass to their father Elliot Stabler and his partner Olivia Benson. I understand that too invoke my rights I would have to file through the justice system in the state of New York."
"Are you serious?" Olivia asked taking the letter and reading through it herself.
She was finally their parent, it didn't matter that she and Elliot wasn't married, this paper now proved that she was the Stabler kids mother.
"Wait there's a letter here too." Elliot said taking it out of the envelope. "Dear Elliot and Olivia, I know I can't provide for my children what you can so I hope that you don't mind that I have done what I have done. Once my prosecution is over I am leaving the state of New York and moving with my parents. The children may have contact with me if they wish to do so however after what I did I doubt that they would want that. Take Care." Elliot read.
"Wow, I don't know what to say." Olivia sighed.
"I don't have to fight her for my kids that's one thing but leaving the state? I didn't think she'd go that far." Elliot explained.
"Well as long as she waits until after the court case." Alex laughed. "Otherwise I'll have the feds chase her down and drag her back." Alex spoke but Elliot nor Olivia heard her.
"You ready to be a mom to four more kids?" Elliot asked.
"I hope so!" Olivia giggled with excitement. Not that she hadn't been playing Mom to them anyway.
"Why don't the two of you take the afternoon, pick the kids up early and spend time as a family." Cragen smiled.
"Thanks Cap." Olivia smiled leaning over and hugging her Captain. He hadn't expected it but he gladly embraced her back.
"I'll see you tomorrow." He smiled.
What's wrong with Kathy? Just giving up her kids like that? Oh well who cares, Olivia's now a mom to five beautiful kids and life is perfect ... but for how long? Mwahahha!
