When Olivia and her family went home, she couldn't be happier. Calvin was her son, and this was her family. Elliot came to sit by her and kissed her forehead. he noticed slight tears running down her cheeks, and turned her face towards his. He wiped them away, and she held him close.
"Liv, what is it? What's wrong?", Elliot asked.
"Nothing, baby, I am just so happy right now. I've never really been happier.", Olivia said, and looked up to see Noah and Calvin playing on the floor.
"Then, what's with the tears, sweetheart?", Elliot asked.
"It's nothing. I guess, I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I don't know long this happiness is going to last.", Liv admitted. She turned away from Elliot to see that Noah had come towards her. She picked him up and sat him in between Noah and El.
"Honey, I am here for you. I am going to make sure that nothing gets in the way of your happiness.", El said, and kissed her.
"I can't wait to marry you. I mean, I love this life, but it'll be better once we are married, and I can called myself Sergeant Olivia Stabler.", Olivia said.
"I can't wait either because that's so amazing. Why don't we start setting down some details?", El said. Liv's smile grew larger and she nodded.
"What do you think, little man? Wanna be a ring bearer with Eli?", Olivia asked. Noah clapped, although he didn't understand and Liv laughed and kissed his head.
"So, we have that settled. The ring bearers are Eli and Noah. i know I want Dickie, Nick, Fin, and John as my men. I think that'll do.", El said.
"That's great, because I'll take Maureen, Katie, and Lizzie, and Amanda as my bridesmaids with Melinda as my Maid of Honor. She'd love that. I know Alex and Casey were there for us during our days in work, however, I haven't seen them in years.", Olivia said.
"I know, you miss them, but if we want them there, I'm sure they'd come.", Elliot said.
"Okay, great so we have the people. Now, I want to ask Don to walk me down. What do you think?", Liv asked.
"I think that's a great idea. I mean, he's your father and has been there with you and us through it all. Liv, I know he'd be proud.", El said.
"Yea, me too. I just want a small church wedding and then a reception to follow. I know that's asking a lot, but El, this is my first wedding. I want it to be special. I want my special day.", Liv said.
"You'll get that. Honey, look at me, it will be perfect.", Elliot said, and kissed her head.
"Okay, so, I'll make the appointment for the bridesmaids and bride's dress shopping day. I love you.", Olivia said.
"I love you too." Elliot said. He pulled her close and kissed her. Then, he turned around and placed her on the sofa and kissed her more. They made out for a few minutes, and then got up to fix the dinner. While making dinner, Elliot's kids came over and spent the time with them, finding it appropriate to spend this time with them. This was just what they needed right now.
"So, girls, what do you say about going bridesmaids shopping with me and of course wedding gown?", Liv asked.
"Of course, we want you in our family. Yes, yes!", Maureen said, and cheered. The other girls nodded and laughed at their sister's excitement.
"So, let me guess Dad, I am just going to be there.", Dickie said.
"Nah, I want you right up there with me. You okay with being my groomsman, while Fin is my best man?", El said.
"Absolutely dad, I am just happy for you.", Dickie said.
"Oh and uh mom knows that you and Olivia are getting married. We kinda let it slip the other day when we were with her.", Katie said, and looked nervously at her father and Olivia.
Elliot sighed. He held hands with Olivia and said that it was okay. But he was nervous about what Kathy was going to. He made a mental note to contact her later.
"Eli, guess what bud, you and Noah will have a special job at the wedding. You and Noah will bring the rings down. Noah, we'll have to see how we will do this if Noah's not walking yet, but this is fine.", Liv said.
"Yay, I get a special task!", Eli screamed, and everyone laughed.
"What about me, momma?", Calvin asked.
"You're gong to be with El on his side. We want you there. I want you there.", Liv said, and hugged him. Liv smiled, and Calvin hugged her again.
"I love ya Momma. Thank you for including me in your day.", Calvin said.
"Oh sweetheart, I wouldn't have it any other way. You are part of the family now.", Olivia said, and kissed his head. Then, Dickie called him and he went over to play with Dickie.
"God, how did I get so lucky to have him? I mean's he's like me in so many ways.", Olivia said.
"You, Liv, are one beautiful and wonderful person and Calvin was placed here for you to have as his mother. Sure, Vivian gave birth to him, but he's yours, ours.", El said, coming over to her, holding her close.
"I love you, so much Elliot.", Olivia said.
"I love you, Olivia". Elliot replied and they kissed. Then, the kids came in and they ate dinner and watched a movie today. Calvin wanted to pick the movie. He chose "The Brave Little Toaster", and even though it was a cartoon, everyone seemed to like it.
"Why did you choose this one?", Maureen asked him, smiling.
"Well, the toaster was brave, and fought for what he believed was right. That's mama.", Calvin said. Liv smiled and hugged him.
"You're right, bud, Mom is the best.", Dickie said, smiling up at Liv.
"Yea Livi!", Eli said, and the others laughed. After the movie, every one got settled in for bed.
"You know El, I don't know what I would do without you right now. After….. After Lewis, I was torn apart, and I knew that Brian wouldn't understand. So, that's why I couldn't be with him. It was always you that could understand me. You.",Liv said, holding him close, laying in bed.
"I love you so much Liv, and you've always been it for me. It just took me too long to see it. I am sorry about that. I know things were crazy back then. I just wanted to make sure that my family was safe and that included my marraige, and to tell you the truth, it never was. That night when I found you, I was hoping that you'd take me back. When you did, I knew right then and there that this is who God intended me to be with.", Elliot said. Tears flowed freely from Olivia's eyes and she turned over and hugged him close.
"I love you so much, Elliot Stabler.", she said, before she kissed him and fell asleep, laying on his chest. Meanwhile, outside outside in the shadows, even though she knew that it was over with Elliot, and that she'd never have that back, Kathy still wanted to torture Olivia for taking her family. It was her family that she had now and she had actually heard Lizzie say Momma. That wasn't right, and she needed time to find someone wotorture Liv again.. just so, she can have her kids back.
The next day, Liv and El got up and laid in bed for a few minutes. Liv trend over and at first sw Lewis, but then sat there and waited for the memory to go away. Then, she looked up and saw Elliot. She smiled and kissed him and then went to get up and get ready. When Liv got up, Elliot didn't let her go.
"El, baby, we need to go to work. Plus, I'm boss. I need to be there.", Liv said.
"I know, I just don't want to let you go just yet.", El said.
"I know baby. but we have to. Plus, in about three months, we can be in bed together and not go anywhere for a week.", Liv said.
"Alright.", El said, and got up. Then, Liv went to jump in the shower, while Elliot went to see Noah. He was sitting in his crib.
"Good morning, buddy. How did you sleep? You want some breakfast?", El said, picking him up. He realized that he needed to be changed and so Elliot changed him, and then he went down to get his breakfast ready. Before he went down, Liv came out the shower, and he saw how beautiful she was wrapped in a towel.
"Buddy, look there's momma.", El said, and Liv looked up and smiled.
"Hey, momma's boy. You gonna help Daddy make breakfast.",Olivia cooed.
"Liv, you look…", El said, and reached for her. He pulled her close and almost took her there, but Liv smiled and kissed him and then pushed him away towards Noah.
"El, baby, down boy. Noah is going to get fussy.", Liv said, and Elliot relented.
"Alright, but when we get married, there ain't going to be any holding back.", El said, and Liv giggled.
"You better not.", Liv said, and left him to head back to the bathroom to get dressed. For a minute, Elliot sat there and was taken aback, but then Noah tapped his face, and he remembered the breakfast.
"Come on Noah, let's go get that breakfast.", El said.
"Nannas?", Noah asked, and El smiled and kissed his head.
"You can have some bananas buddy. I'm going to make momma some coffee too.", El said, and put Noah in his high chair. He kept a close eye on him, while he made the coffee as well as the bananas for Noah. Then, Maureen, Kathleen, and Lizzie came down. Maureen and Katie fixed themselves a cup of coffee and said that they had to go in to work today too, and Maureen went to go see her boyfriend. Katie said that she had to go to work too, and went to get ready. She was a worker in the clinic for kids and struggling teens. Elliot smiled and kissed his daughters and wished that he could still capture their youth, but he knew that he couldn't. Then, Liv came out the bathroom and came down the hall. Noah was happy to see her and he hit the banana off his high chair. Liv laughed, picked it up and threw it away, knowing that it may be dirty. Noah cried but then Liv gave him another piece and he was happy again.
"Good morning sweetheart, listen, I've planned to take half the day and go wedding dress shopping with the girls and Amanda. You think the boys can hold down the fort?", Liv said.
"Yes, we can. Don't doubt us.", Elliot said, acting macho. Liv looked at Elliot and asked him what he thought. Noah patted Elliot's face, and Liv laughed. Then, Calvin came down and was ready to leave. Liv said that she'd drop him off.
"Liv, when we get to the precinct, I uh, have something for you.", Elliot said.
"What?", Liv asked, curiously.
"I said, at the precinct.",he repeated and kissed her. Then, Calvin called her and she went to drop him off. Elliot had stopped by the flower shop and jewelry store, knowing that she needed to be reminded of how much he loved her. He got her a heart shaped locket and in it, he placed his family on one side, and Calvin and Noah on the other. He knew that she'd like that. Then he went to the precinct. When he got there, he told the boys that it was just going to be them for half the day and that Liv would be in soon to fill in the details. They looked at Amanda, and she laughed.
"Oh, you boys can handle it. Come on, look, try to keep this intact huh? I got to help Liv.", Amanda said, and then Liv walked in.
"Hey, you ready?", she turned and asked Liv.
"Um, gie me 5 and we will roll. First, guys, yes, Amanda and I are doing some wedding stuff, and I'm going to be out for the day. El, and Fin you've got the precinct. If you need me, I'll be here in a few minutes. Please, let me have this time to myself.", Liv said, and that looked at El, who smile at Olivia and then gave a stern look to Nick and Fin. They nodded.
"Liv, can I see you for a second?", Elliot said.
"Sure, detective.", Olivia said, sounding professional. She went to her office and closed the blinds and licked the door. Then, she turned and kissed him.
"I am going to miss you today.", Liv said.
"I know, but you'll be okay. But if you're lonely, this will keep you company.", El said, and produced the locket.
"Oh El, it's beautiful.", Olivia said, and he put it on her. She opened it, and saw the photos and teared up.
"Now, you have my kids and your boys close to your heart always.", Elliot said.
"I love you.", Olivia said.
"I love you too. Now go, before they send someone in here.", Elliot said. She kissed him one last time and then they went to the bridal shop. Amanda had made reservations at Kleinfelds, and with Sarah.
"Hi, I'm Sarah, and I'm your consultant for the day.", Sarah said.
"Hi, I'm Olivia. I'm a sergeant in the SVU team. This is my coworker Amanda, my soon to be step daughters Lizzie, Maureen, Kathleen, and my maid of honor Melinda.", Olivia said.
"And what are we looking for today?", Sarah asked.
"We are looking for something simple and classic. I wear suits everyday, so I just want something beautiful and romantic. I love lace.", Olivia said.
"And where would you like to be price wise?" Sarah asked.
"Um, maybe 5000", Liv said, and the girls smiled. Sarah then brought Olivia back.
"So, tell me about your fiancée.", Sarah said. Liv smiled just at the thought of Elliot.
"His name is Elliot Stabler and he works in my unit. We were partners for 12 years and then he took a break. For those three years that I didn't see him it was like I just wanted him back. Then, he ate back after a bad case and we reconnected and it was like lee all over again.", Olivia said, smiling with a few tears.
"Okay, let me go get you some dresses.", Sarah said, and Liv nodded. She sat there for a few minutes and then Sarah came back. She tried on a fuller skirt, like a princess ball gown and said hat she liked the detail, but didn't know. She went out and showed the girls.
"Liv, you're beautiful, and we know how Dad feels, but this, isn't you. You're not a ball gown type.", Maureen said.
"Yes, Lv, although I love the details, it's just not you.", Melinda said.
"Okay, let's try on the slimmer fit.", Olivia said. She and Sarah went in the back and tried on the slimmer fit gown. It was a sheath style and had a keyhole back. Olivia burst into tears at this dress.
"Oh Liv, this is you!", Amanda said.
"I love it, Mom. Dad will love it.", Katie said.
"Liv, this is you.", Melinda said, and Olivia said yes to the dress. Liv was in tears and then after she was done, they went back to the precinct. Maureen said that she would take the dress home with her. In the car, Liv still was a bit down, and Amanda saw it.
"Hey, you should be happy, this is one step closer to getting your dream.", Amanda said.
"I am, I am, I just …. Things are so good right now, Amanda, I just don't want that other shoe to drop. I don't know, I keep waiting, thinking something is going happen.", Olivia said, and looked at Amanda.
"Olivia, listen, I know we haven't really seen eye to eye on a lot, but I believe in happiness and Elliot makes you happy. Nothing is going to happen, because Elliot will be there for you.", Amanda said.
"I know, Amanda, just with Noah entering my life, and the entire mess with Calvin, and then Stuckey, I feel really uneasy about everything. I have never questioned my relationship with Elliot, but I'm wondering if I am enough.", Liv said.
"You are, trust me. Elliot wouldn't want you any other way.", Amanda said, and Liv nodded. Then, Amand texted Elliot.
'Hey, Liv is doubting herself if she's enough.'" Amanda sent and when Elliot got it at the precinct, he sighed. He went out and met her at the door.
"Hey, how was it?", Elliot asked her .
"It was fun, but I guess I feel like I don't deserve all this.", Liv said, and El pulled her aside into the pit.
"Talk to me.", Elliot said, and held her close.
"I guess, it's like we talked about earlier. I don't want anything to happen to anyone. Am I good enough for you? You've had Kathy and five beautiful children with her, and I have my own baggage that doesn't include my sons. I mean emotionally, and I don't know, El.", Liv said, putting her head down on his shoulder.
"Liv, honey, you are mine. You deserve everything and more. You've been strong and resilient through so much, and you deserve the best. That's what I am going to bring you, the best. You deserve all my love and more.", Elliot said.
"But El, it's hard for me. I don't want your family yo suffer because of me.", Olivia said.
"Liv, we won't suffer because of you. You enhanced our lives from the moment we met you. Remember when Kathleen had her issues. You were there for her and helped her realize what her potential can be. Maureen has blossomed into a smart and beautiful young lady and you have helped that. Remember when Lizzie was on that website and I went raging mad. Who talked me down? Who made me realize that that pervert wasn't worth it? It wasn't Kathy. It was you. You made me realize that everything was with it. You are worth it to me, and I love you. I remember it all Liv, every little thing and that's what I love about you," Elliot said.
"You're sure that I am enough for your family?", Liv asked.
"I'm positive.", Elliot said. Then, he pulled her close and kissed her. But before things got heated, Fin came in and said that they had a case.
"Hey, sorry to burst your PT, but we have a case.", FIn said.
"No problem. We will finish this later.", Liv said, and winked at Elliot. He smiled and they went to work.
"So, we found out that an officer was doing a routine car stop, when the young girl said that the cop was trying to have sex with her. The cop denied it. He said he was just doing his job.", Nick said.
"So, let's talk to the cop again, his partner, and the girl.", Olivia said. They separated into the different pairings and went to talk to the girls.
"So, I know i was wrong to wrongly accuse the officer. I am sooo sorry. But something did happen to me. I can't say it, because it's terrible.", the girl said. She was an actress. Olivia and Amanda were interviewing her.
"Okay, well we can't help you if you don't say it.", Amanda said, looking at Olivia.
"I can't.", the girl said, and Liv sighed.
"Well, the falsely accusing an officer was what? A lie? We saw the dash cam footage.", Olivia said.
"Yea, I gyess, it was a way to cover up what really happened to me.", the girl said, and looked down. She began crying and Liv came over and put her arm around her.
"I feel like I can't catch a break.", the girl said, and Liv looked up and was saddened for the girl. Then, they left to get her something and saw that Elliot and Nick who were interviewing the cop was back.
"So, what did the cop say?", Olivia said.
"Basically he said that the girl told him that she's a big celebrity and had been drinking. But when she tried to resist arrest, or anything, she was asked to turn around, and she sexualized the entire thing. Then, we saw the dash footage and that explains what we saw.", Fin said. Elliot went next to Olivia.
"So, do we do research? Find out what's going on? Where she's supposed to be filming?", Elliot asked.
"Yes, you and Nick do that. Fin should be coming back soon with information from the partner.", Liv said, and they all went off separately.
"Okay, so we press her?", Amanda asked Olivia.
"Let's see what she can give us.", Olivia said, nodding.
"Okay, so we got you some water. Now, can you tell us, what you tried to tell us before?", Olivia said.
"He will just deny it.", the girl said.
"Who? What we he deny?", Amanda asked.
"It's the psych director at the probation house. They don't understand what I am going through. They try to, but they can't", the girl said.
"So, what is it that they don't understand, Tenley?", Olivia asked.
" I mean, at first he was nice and he listened to me and he let me lay down on his couch in his office when I was overwhelmed with everything.", Tenley said.
"You're saying he manipulated you into raping you?". Olivia said.
"I just should have know what would have happened.", Tenley said. They thanked Tenley and said that they would check up on her and they let her go.
"So, something happened in that office. Let's see if we can get in there and talk to the dear psych director.", Olivia said. Amanda nodded and went to look up the information. Then, Olivia saw that Fin had returned and said that he was handling another drunk girl, when she passed out and Tenley drove off. He said that the officer said that he had it. Liv sighed and then sent Nick and Fin to interview the psych director. She learns from Rollins that he has no priors and nothing on his record.
"It's always the good ones that go bad.", Liv said, and Amanda nods. Elliot was there with her, and she told him that he needed to go home to Noah, and that she can handle it. He shook his head and said that his kids were going over there and that they can take care of Noah. Liv nodded and smiled.
"I love having you here again.", Olivia said, and kissed him.
"Trust me, I love being here.", Elliot said, and kissed her again.
With Fin and Nick, they speak with the psych director and learn how the facets works. Nick is skeptical because things are done under the radar. Then, they realize that the girl had sex with a boy who was sixteen at the center. This was definitely something that had to be investigated although the doctor told them that the boy didn't want to press charges.
"So, now let's go talk to the boy. I'll update Liv.", Nick said, and calls Liv. Liv tells them that they have the green light. When they talk to the boy, Amaro and Fin speak with them and hear the story. Gregory got Tensley some weed and Tensley gave him oral in a closet to thank him. Amaro explains that Gregory is underage and they have security cam footage and he is the victim. But Gregory thinks this was exciting and doesn't want them to ruin it. Then, they head back to the precinct.
"You know what, now that this evidence has come into play, arrest her.", Liv said, and Rollins nods. She and Fin go to arrest her. Nick stays back and writes things down, while El watches Liv at work. He smiles when he sees her working so hard for this young girl.
"What?", Liv said, when she saw Elliot looking at her.
"Just looking at my gorgeous fiancée, and watching her do what she doesn't best.", Elliot said, and Liv smiled. Then, Amanda and Liv brought Tenley in and she said that this was something that she didn't understand why she was in trouble. Olivia explains that she was in trouble, but if she would talk, she would ask for just probation. Then, Tenley spills the beans that when she was younger at a camp, the director said that she would be a big star, if she made him happy and made her have sex with him. Then, he brought in more guys.
"I was just trying to do what they wanted to get further in my career.", Tenley explains.
"Did your mom know?", Rollins asked.
"I mean, I think she didn't, but she knew something was going on, and put me on the pill. I was fourteen.", Tenley said.
"Okay, listen, we will figure it out, for now, just stay with your mom. Don't do anything crazy.", Olivia said, and they left the office. Amanda looks at Olivia and they walk out for a team meeting.
"So, this was all done because she wanted to get ahead.", Fin said.
"Yea, she claims that this was done by the producer as a party favor.", Amanda said.
"So what do we do?", Nick said.
"I present Alex with the facts and see, but for now, research the big time producer and see if he has any films in the area with young actresses.", Liv said. Elliot got up and went with her.
"Babe, you don't have to come.", Liv said, taking his hand.
"I want to, I always have your six.", Elliot said, and Liv smiled. Then, they went to go see Alex.
"You need to arrest her for the allegations of the abuse.", Alex said.
"But the boy isn't coming forward and we are here to see if you can get us a search warrant for the producer's house and film spot.", Olivia said.
" Yea, but, she's a victim and now acting out. How many cases have we seen where the victims are connected to other crimes.", Olivia said.
"Yea but she's accusing one of the biggest producers. Now, I have a complaint for indictment against Tenley for Gregory, so we have to indict.", Alex said.
"Fine, if that's the way you want to play it, we'll play it our way.", Olivia said, and leaves. Elliot who was watching the whole time, walked out with her.
"You were brilliant in there, Liv, and she didn't see it coming.", Elliot said.
"I just hope that she'd still want to work with us.", Olivia said.
"She does, she's just following her law, instead of her head.", Elliot said, and Liv smiled. Then, they research where the producer is and that's where she sends Amanda, Fin, and Nick.
At the Marsden Hotel Pool, a party is underway with lots of young girls and older men as Amaro, Rollins, and Nick arrive with additional officers. One young actor approaches commenting on his admiration of NYPD. The detectives ask for Brubeck and when the kid points the direction, Amaro nudges him over and walks past him. Rollins was looking around, and sees many girls there. Fin said that this is despicable for the movie, and Rollins comments she counts about 2 dozen underage girls in bikinis and tells Nick and the other officers that no one leave and to start checking IDs. When all have the IDs, the trio go looking for the producer. When they find him, he says that they have severed ties with Tenley, and then dismisses them. They note that it was strange and head back t the precinct. When they get back, they explain to Liv and El, that this was just a party for the movie and that no one was underage. However, Liv is still suspicious of the producer. Fin says if they keep digging deeper they will find something and when he tells them he made a few calls, Rollins cuts him off and says so did she. She did research on other child stars of Brubeck's and gives them examples of others that have crashed and burned – arrests, porn, and in rehab. Barba asks if any filed a lawsuit or pressed charges, and Rollins says nothing. But Sonny says he was almost charged in LA, adding he has an ex at LAPD ho told him an actress names Amber Forbes drowned at one of Brubeck's pool parties 9 years ago when she was 15. The ME ruled it an accident but there was alcohol and ecstasy in her system. Brubeck and Dennis were questioned by police and on the witness list was Brody Clark. Benson tells them to talk to Brody and find out what he knows.
Brody explains that their engagement was just for PR. He then tells Rollins and Nick that Tenley was upset at the death of Amber for months. She reports back to Liv, who went to see Tenley. Tenley doesn't really want to talk about it and leaves the room. When the mom says that Tenley has been gone a while, Liv goes to check on her and finds her cutting herself in the bathroom. Liv brings her to the hospital and they get her on the right track to healthy. Then, they arrest the producer for what he had done to her and the others that they talk to.
At the precinct, Liv and the team are watching the news story on Tenley's recovery, when Liv's phone rings. It's Maureen. Elliot moves towards her when he senses her panic.
"What's wrong, Liv?", Elliot said.
"Nick, hold down the fort. Elliot and I have to go.", Liv states, almost breaking down.
"What is it?", Elliot said.
"Noah, he's in the ER.", Liv said, and ran out the room praying that her little boy was okay. Elliot followed her and held her close in the car, before they got to the hospital.
