Getting home from the hospital, Liv and El reassured the children, who were worried that everything was fine.
"Just take it easy, Mom. You are in the last week of your sixth month. In about three months, we'll have another family member. Now's a great time to take it easy.", Katie sad.
"I know Katie, but I just want to be able to do my job as a parent to. I don't want to be on constant bed rest, cause that doesn't work for me.", Olivia said, and sighed.
"We know you wouldn't go for that, so we arranged a few things here. You need this time to relax and have the baby be the focus. So, while we all are at work or school, daddy can set up a chat for Facetime and you can still help with the cases. When we get home, all work stops and it's just resting and relaxing. We may throw in a surprise here and then, but things are for you and the baby", Maureen said.
"You would do that? You would stay home for me?", Liv said, turning to Elliot.
"Of course, now I've already told Fin that if we are desperately needed that we'll go in, but other than that, we won't be going.", Elliot said.
"Love you guys.", Liv said, and then hugged each one. That night, they rested as a family and then they were making sure that Liv had everything that she needed. It was going to be perfect.
The next morning, no one really knew what cases were coming in, and Liv and Elliot woke up feeling refreshed.
"Good morning", Liv said.
"Good morning, sweetheart and little one.", Elliot said, kissing her and then placing a soft sweet kiss to her stomach.
"Ooh", Liv said, as the baby kicked.
"Guess, we know what he wants, food.", Elliot said, and chuckled.
"I know. I am starving.", Liv said, and Elliot smiled. He kissed her once more and they went over to the kitchen to get their food. Serena and Chris were already in there rockers, and Noah was sitting at the table in his high chair, eating breakfast.
"Good morning, all.", Liv said.
"Morning mom. Remember, you are off." Mo said, and Liv sighed and nodded.
"I may miss my unit, but it's for a good cause.", Liv said, then she looked at the time. "You guys better get to work."
"We know, we called our bosses to let them know we'd be a few minutes late, just so we can help out around here.", Katie said.
"I appreciate that, but please don't be late. Go to work. El and I already called Lucy and Bernie and told them that we don't need them for a few weeks because I am here and so is daddy. Don't stop your lives.", Liv said. Maureen nodded and then her and Katie left for work. Just then, Calvin came down the stairs and smiled.
"Morning, momma. How are you?", Calvin said.
"Great, my love. Listen, eat breakfast, so daddy can take you and Eli to school. Momma's gonna stay home with Serena, Chris and Noah.", Liv said.
"Babe, you are sure you are going to be okay?", El said, grabbing his coat.
"Yea, it's just a few minutes, and the twins are fine. We are all good.", Liv said. He placed another sweet short kiss on her lips then headed out with Eli and Calvin. Right after he left, Liv received a phone call. It was a face-time request from Barba.
"Hey Liv, how's maternity leave?", Barba said.
"It's okay. What's up?", Liv said, sitting down with Noah. Noah cuddled with his momma, and Liv made sure that the twins were okay.
"Well, this morning my office received this week's trial and I wanted to inform you of what it was.", Barba said. He knew that this case would bring out the fighter in Olivia and he knew that her emotions would go awry.
"Why? Is it someone that I arrested? What's it got to do with me?", Liv said. Just then, Elliot came home. Liv mouthed that it was Barba and he nodded. After saying hi to his daughters and son, Elliot went by the play pen and saw that Noah was playing with his blocks. The twins were napping in their swings, which was adorable to him. He walked over to his wife, and smiled when he saw Serena stretch and go back to sleep. He sat next to her and Let Liv lay on his lap. He entwined his hand with her free hand and listened.
"It's Clarabelle Drecker.", Barba said, and Liv sat up. Elliot moved nowhere he could see her and Olivia looked like she saw a ghost.
"What is it?", he asked. Liv looked at him and told him Clarabelle. Barba knew Elliot was there and heard her sharp intake a breath.
"She's not going to get out, Liv. I promise you, I will make sure that she never comes after you or Calvin again.", Barba said, and then he hung up. Liv sat there for a minute in a haze remembering what had transpired between Clarabelle, Calvin and herself. She was scared that she was going to do something again, or try and persuade the judge that she did it because Calvin was hers.
"What is it babe?", El said, getting up to get a crying Chris.
"That was Barba. A trial has come up this week, and it's because it's taken a while to get her here. Clarabelle will be on trial this week." Olivia said, breathing slowly out.
"Does he need us to be there?", Elliot asked.
"Yes, and Calvin. El, I am worried. I am worried because she might take whatever means necessary to get him back. She can't have my son!", Liv said, and Elliot asked Maureen to come down. She came into the room and he gave her Chris.
"Mo, gather everyone in here. We need a family meeting.", Elliot said and Mo nodded, she went with Chris to get everyone while Elliot comforted his wife.
"Liv, listen to me, we will not let her. We know the truth and we won't let her make false accusations. He's ours, Liv, and nothing is going to change that.", Elliot said, and Olivia curled into him.
"I just don't want to put him through that again. He was traumatized for a while after the ordeal and he will be again, as will I and I can't have that.", Olivia said.
"Momma, what is it?", Calvin said coming into the room and seeing her upset.
"Calvin, come here. We need to talk.", Liv said, and he came and sat by her. He rubbed her stomach and she hugged him.
"Tell me what's going on!", Calvin said, and Liv took a deep breath.
"Cal, Clarabelle goes to trial this week.", Elliot said, answering for his wife. Liv looked over at him and mouthed a thanks and he nodded.
"Mom, she's going to try and take me away. I know it, but I won't let it happen. I am yours, forever, and if there's one thing that you've taught me is to be fearless with everything. She thinks she can win by separating us, but we can win and stay together, I know we can.", Calvin said. Liv held him tight and let the tears flow.
"You are my son. She can't take you away.", Liv said.
"She won't. Whatever Clarabelle tries, we will be prepped for. Mom, please calm down. I am fine, and we are all here.", Calvin said.
"Cal's right baby, calm down, we don't want anything to happen to the baby. Nothing will happen at this trial.", Elliot said. Olivia looked at him, and even his eyes saw the uneasiness about her getting so worked up. She nodded, and took a deep breath.
"Momma, we won't let anything happen, and I promise everything will be fine.", Katie said.
"I know, sorry guys.", Liv said, wiping her tears. They all came near and had a family hug.
"So, what's the plan?", Maureen said.
"Well, tomorrow when we go into work, we'll check with Barba and make sure that we are going to a trial, and not just a hearing and then mom and I will let you know.", Elliot said.
"I am going to let my boss know that there may be times this week where I come in late.", Maureen said.
"Yeah, me too.", Katie said.
"And I know that I can get the notes for classes from somebody and so can Dickie. We'll be there.", Elizabeth said.
"I'm gonna be there too. Cal needs me.", Eli said, and Liv smiled.
"Guys, we'll be fine. I'll inform Calvin's school tomorrow, but we….", Liv said, but Dickie cut her off.
"Mom, we want to be there. Calvin needs all of us and we need to make sure that Clarabelle doesn't come after him or you, especially now that you are pregnant.", Dickie said.
"Fine, but take tomorrow and handle everything and then we can be there for this trial.", Olivia said. They nodded and then they went to their respective rooms.
"Great, now we are dealing again with this maniac. I know Calvin was trying to be strong for me, but El, he's scared. I know that.", Olivia said.
"We'll be there for him every step of the way, Liv. He will not be anywhere near here, and trust me, she won't get him back.", Elliot said. Liv sighed and leaned into him.
"How's my baby doing in there?", El asked, rubbing Olivia's tummy.
"Good, he's moving a bit more. But he's doing good.", Olivia said. Elliot kissed her and she kissed him back. Then, they went and relaxed with the kids before going to bed that night hoping that nothing would go wrong.
The next day, Olivia got up and went to the bathroom. When she felt the baby move, she smiled and rubbed her tummy. "Good morning my angel", she said and wished Elliot was up. But no later than the thought crossed her mind, her husband got up and moved toward the bathroom and behind her. Olivia smiled and leaned into him.
"Good morning", Liv said.
"Hi! Good morning", Elliot said, turning her around. He kissed her soundly, and then he kissed her tummy.
"You are so beautiful.", Elliot said.
"I'm not fat?", Liv said, looking at him earnestly.
"No, where would get that idea? Honey, you are seven months pregnant.", Elliot said.
"I know, but I feel like a blimp. I mean, I don't fit in anything and it is just so hard to keep up with everything, since I get up and then a few minutes later I am exhausted.", Liv said, sighing.
"Baby, listen to me. You are not fat, and you are beautiful. We will find something that fits for today and then we can just take it one day at a time. Don't forget that I am here for you.", Elliot said.
"I know, but El, we have work, which I have taken off from, and then we have 9 kids already and then adding this one, and it's just a lot with everyone's schedules and then the trial today and I am very just overwhelmed.", Liv said, leaning into him at the end.
"Liv, you know that we will be fine. I promise you all the kids are taken care of and we always give them all the attention that they deserve. Everything can be handled. This case is going to be fine, I promise you that.", Elliot said, and kissed her.
"You're right and I know that, but still it doesn't stop me from being worried.", Olivia said.
"I know you're worried, but please until we leave for court, relax.", Elliot said.
"Thank you.", Olivia said and kissed him. Then, she heard Calvin dreaming about Clarabelle.
"Listen, El", she said, and he nodded. He heard, "What are you doing? No, let me go! I will never be yours!", Calvin screamed.
"Come with me.", Liv said, and Elliot nodded. He took her hand and they went to Calvin's room and saw him tossing and turning. Elliot walked Liv over to the bed and when they sat down, Calvin sat up!
"Don't hurt her!", Calvin said, and had a look of panic on his face. Liv scooted toward him more and held him.
"Calvin, sweetie, it's okay, Momma's here.", Liv said, holding him close. Calvin looked up and scooted closer to her and cried in her shoulder. Elliot came closer and held on to her. Olivia looked at him and sighed. She had known that the trial would frighten him. This was something that he would need to testify at and she and Elliot knew that things were scary for him. She remembered how he was when his grandfather was at trial and prayed that things would be easier for him.
"Momma, I'm so sorry, I know I was supposed to wait for Katie and I was, but she came up and walked me to her car. I kept trying to get away but she held on to me so tight. Then, that's when she put the cloth over me and I blacked out. I was freaking out because at first I thought that she was going to hurt you and make me watch, but then we drove to the cabin. I kept looking around and she threw me in the back room. She would be in the front room pacing and then would come and yell in my face that I would never see you guys again. That's when you came.", Calvin said. Olivia was shocked because she hadn't heard this before because they wanted to make sure that he was safe first and then that he would be okay mentally. They had forgotten to ask him what happened. Liv closed her eyes, and quietly cursed herself for never asking him what had happened.
"Listen, Cal, it's not your fault, bud. She is the one to blame. You are our son, plain and simple. Remember, how you would always say that mama rescued you, well we did it because we love you. You are going to be okay.", Elliot said, looking Calvin in the eyes. He knew Liv felt bad about not asking Calvin about this and knew that he had to take the lead.
"But she could go off on the blood thing. She kept yelling at me that we are not blood so we couldn't be together and that I belonged with her because I have her blood in me.", Calvin said.
"Blood isn't the only thing that makes a family, Calvin, you know that. A family is one who loves a person, no matter what, and cares for them. We love you and we want you here with us. I want you here with me. I couldn't imagine what Noah's life or my life would be without you and that's the truth. Noah loves you and so does Katie, Maureen, Eli, Dickie, and Lizzie. You know that Chris is latching on to you more and realizes that you are his big brother and Serena follows that as well. Honey, we want you here. I had never forgotten about you ever since we met all those years ago, and you were always on my mind.", Olivia said.
"I know you love me, but I just don't know how I am going to handle this trial.", Calvin said.
"Stick to me, baby, because we will be there for you. Barba already got the permission that when you testify I will be there to help you and sit next to him. You'll be fine.", Liv said, and Calvin nodded.
"I'm sorry for this morning's freakout. The trial really has me worried.", Calvin said, getting out of bed.
"Trust me, it's going to define because momma and I are going to be there for you every step of the way.", Elliot said.
"And so will we.", Katie said, coming into the room.
"Guys, we can handle this.", Liv said.
"No, mom. Clarabelle hurt our family and she will not get away with it.", Maureen said, and Elliot smiled. He helped Liv up and she hugged all f her kids then went down for breakfast and to check on the twins. Noah was in his high chair and the twins were in their play pen.
"Mom, twins have been fed already and Noah's waiting on you to feed him. He wouldn't let me feed him.", Lizzie said.
"Thank you for doing this while we were helping Calvin.", Liv said.
"We'll always help.", Dickie said.
"Eh, really?", El asked.
"Yes. My family is my life. I know that things haven't always been perfect, bt Iknow I need to help.", Dickie said.
"Thank you.", El said, and hugged him. Liv smiled at the sight of her son and her husband hugging and knew that at one point things were strained between the two.
"Alright, so what's the time plan?", Maureen asked.
"Well, Barba said that the trial starts at 1. There's another case that is this morning and then we have Clarabelle's event. So, I was thinking we all could do our own thing till around noon, and it's 8:30 now, and then we can grab a quick bite and head over.", Elliot said.
"Okay, sounds good. Let's meet at that little café that Mom likes, 7th street Café, and then head down to the courthouse. We can do this.", Maureen said.
"Well, I am going to check in with my boss and then let them know about this afternoon and that I may be in sporadically this week. I just need a few minutes.", Katie said.
"Yea, me too.", Maureen said.
"Well, I'll let my professors know that I may not be in class, but that I will still check with someone to get the notes and see what needs to be done.", Dickie said.
"And I am sure that my professors will let me go too, because this could be a good thing for me to watch. But I can also get the work too.", Elizabeth said.
"I'll call Calvin's school. This is something that he wjll be needed for.", Liv said.
"What about me?", Eli said.
"We didn't forget you bud. I'll do the same for you as Momma is doing and we can all be together.", Elliot said.
"Yay", Eli said.
"I want everyone there.", Calvin said.
"We may want to keep the twins and Noah with Lucy only because they might get fussy.", Liv said, and El nodded. Serena let out a whimper and Elliot picked her up. Elliot kissed her and Liv smiled.
Sensing her mother's emotional block, Maureen asked Olivia, "Momma, are you ok?" Maureen said, and Liv shrugged. She had tried to hold everything in and even though the trial having even begun. When Maureen had asked her that, she looked away. Elliot came over to her and let her sit down next to him on the couch.
"I am trying not to cry and let things go, but I'm freaking out.", Olivia said, letting a few tears drop. Liv took a big deep breath, but more tears came through and she let it out. Maureen and Katie came closer and held her hand and her shoulders.
"I just don't want anything bad to happen. We all have seen how she is, and she may push the judge to make her take Calvin. This I don't want because he's mine son and I can't imagine my life without him. I mean I know we have all of you, but it would feel like a part of me was missing.", Liv said, and let it out.
"Calvin's here, mom. He's with us and she can't take him away. She won't, and we won't let her. There's no way that things will be perfect but, things won't be going her way.", Katie said.
"Katie's right, Momma. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere, no matter what she says. I will be here with you and I am always in your heart.", Calvin said, and Liv hugged him.
"Alright, let's get everything done so we can focus on this case.", Olivia said, taking a deep breath.
"You sure you're okay?", Elliot asked.
"I have to be. The baby needs me to be and then Calvin needs me to be. I am fine.", Olivia said. Elliot knew those words were her "safe" words and things were not fine, but he was going to make sure that nothing happened.
A few hours later, after meeting for lunch, all of the Stablers piled into the court room. Barba saw them and nodded. He knew that the whole family except for the little ones was there and he smiled.
"Barba, how are we today?", Elliot said.
"Fine, how's your family?", Barba asked.
"Kids are here to make sure Calvin is protected, and I am here for Liv. She's putting up a front but we know that she's stronger than all of us.", Elliot said.
"Listen, do you still want Liv to sit next to me while you testify?", Barba asked Calvin.
"I do, even though I am older, I just feel more secure knowing that momma can help me through it.", Calvin said, and Liv smiled, and held his hand. Just then, Clarabelle came in and Liv and Calvin both inhaled loudly. Clarabelle looked right at them, and especially at Calvin and told him that he was hers. Maureen held him and Clarabelle just laughed.
"She's just saying that bud, don't listen to her.", Maureen said.
"I belong with Momma.", Calvin said, and leaned into Olivia.
"You bet you do.", Olivia said and Maureen smiled. Just then, the judge came in and Olivia smiled because it was Judge Linden. After everything technical happened, Judge Linden welcomed everyone and then asked Barba to produce his first witness.
"Our first witness is Sergeant Olivia Stabler.", Barba said, and Liv made her way to the stand. She was sworn in and then the questioning began.
"Sergeant, when did you first encounter the defendant?", Barba asked.
"The defendant first met me in court when she went after my son for his parental rights because she claimed that I wasn't a good mother.", Liv said.
"Why do you think she came to that conclusion?", Barba then asked.
"Well, a few months ago, I was walking Calvin to school and I had a call from work and before I knew it a cab came. Calvin had begin walking to show that he was old enough and I caught him right before the cab came and hit him. I saved his life, but I left a hand print on his arm and the teacher notified the cops. Because of the case, her lawyer found out that Calvin was her grandson and then we met in court.", Olivia said.
"And what happened after that?", Barba asked.
"Calvin was allowed to see her with visits. However,, when the visits started, she was very set in her rules and wanted Calvin to follow them in my house. We have a certain family time every night and she had said that Calvin couldn't do that since he was not finished his work for school. When I allowed Calvin to watch the movie, she tried arguing with me and then backed off. When my husband and I let Calvin be alone with her, she tried to convince him that the life that he had with me and my family wasn't good enough for her grandson. Calvin didn't agree and she left.", Olivia said.
"So, she decided to take matters further?", Barba asked, egging Olivia to continue.
"Yes, she did. She planned a revenge scheme on my family. She became a sub to "watch" him at the school, and when the school was notified of her being there and her being the one who was trying to take Calvin away from me, she decided to go with the next plan of action which was to kidnap him. She kidnapped my son after school and brought him to a cabin. I was scared for my life and for his and I then went to find him. Thank God I found him in one piece and un harmed.", Olivia said, shedding a few tears. Barba nodded and sat down. Then her lawyer got up.
"So Mrs. Stabler, I see here that you've adopted Calvin after another case. Was this the same case that you mentioned earlier?", the lawyer asked.
"No, this case was different. The case mentioned earlier was about an abuse charge that was then taken off the table. The case that you are referring to is when his grandfather on his mother's side abused him for several years.", Liv said.
"And when you tried to get Calvin back, was there a struggle?", the lawyer asked.
"Of course there was. She was going to pass of her grandson, my son, as her own child. She claimed that blood was stronger than paperwork. But it isn't the only thing that makes a family and I tried explaining that.", Olivia said.
"That is a strange statement to make. Blood isn't the only thing that makes a family. How can you be so sure? Legally and technically, he is her grandson, so shouldn't she get to raise him?", the lawyer asked.
"He doesn't want to be with her.", Liv said, and began to let more tears out.
"Did he give her a chance?", the lawyer asked, then said that she was done and sat down, leaving the court to think that Olivia never gave that woman a chance with her grandson.
"No wait!", Olivia said, but Linden asked her to step down. Olivia was upset because this was not the way that she wanted this to go.
"We gave her the chance! We gave her every cahnce to be a part of his life, but she wanted to control it.", Liv cried in Elliot's shoulder.
"I know baby, and so does Barba. We'll get her.", Elliot said.
"I just wanted that to go well, and now it just seems like Calvin was made to not like her. Calvin, you know that we didn't want that for you. We thought that you were old enough to figure out this on your own.", Olivia said.
"Mom, we tried. I tried making sure that she knew that she was welcome, but she never wanted to listen. You said it yourself, she wanted to make sure that I followed her rules in my house. I didn't like that. I gave her the chance.", Calvin said.
"I know but somehow she felt unwelcome and now that things came out in court, it could look like we were plotting to keep you from her.", Olivia said.
"Liv, there's no way that she thought that.", Elliot said.
"But…", Liv started, but Liv was cut off by Calvin.
"No, momma, we tried. I tried to be okay with her but when she started in on the way that we lived, I got angry. This was my home and now that she is doing this, it's not fair.", Calvin said. Liv smiled and breathed. She knew that she was proud of her son and now he was proving to her why. Elliot smiled and rubbed her tummy and kissed her.
"See Liv, there's nothing to worry about.", Elliot said, and Liv smiled.
"Alright guys, let's go in. Calvin, remember I am there for you if you need me.", Olivia said.
"You got it momma.", Calvin said, and hugged her. She whispered that she loved him and then returned to the court room. Barba smiled and then called the next witness, which was Calvin.
"We ask the court to allow Sergeant Stabler, who just testified to be seated at the prosecution table, for protection.", Barba stated and Linden nodded. When the lawyer tried to object, and say that this could be coercion of a witness, Linden told her that there was a need of a sense for protection of the victim and the one who was there for him was his mother, Olivia Benson-Stabler. The lawyer looked dejected and sat down.
"Mr. Arliss-Stabler, how do you know the defendant?", Barba started.
"She's supposedly my grandmother. I met her a few times when she found out about me and things just didn't seem right to me.", Calvin said.
"How did things not seem right?", Barba asked.
"She wanted different things for me than I wanted myself. When she came over the first night that we actually met, she tried to tell me that I could not do a family night because I wasn't done my homework. My mom was okay with this because she knew that we would all get the work done that we needed to, so she allowed it, but Clarabelle tried to talk her out of it. After the movie, she came to my room and tried to let me know exactly what she thought of my parents. I didn't like that.", Calvin said.
"But then what happened? How had you seen her again?", Barba asked.
"You lying little weasel. You know that they aren't good enough for us!", Clarabelle stated.
"Will the defense please control her witness.", the judge stated, and Calvin looked a little freaked out. He looked at Olivia and Liv mouthed that it was okay and that she was right there. Calvin took a breath and once Clarabelle had calmed down, he continued.
"A few days later, I went to school as normal, and she was waiting there for me. I tried to go to the building but she cut me off saying that I needed to come with her. Luckily my mom saw this and I was able to go.", Calvin stated.
"Was anything ever said that was a threat?", Barba asked.
"Yes, she threatened my life and my mothers' and my family. I was scared for them. She said that if I didn't go with her that she would hurt my mom. I didn't want to go with her.", Calvin said, then looked down.
"I never wanted to hurt you. I wanted you for my own son! You have to believe me Calvin, you deserve better than this.", Clarabelle stated and stood up and took a few steps toward Calvin. Liv got up and went to Calvin and blocked him. But when Clarabelle saw this, she lost it.
"You can't have him Olivia. He's mine, by blood. He's my grandson. I want my grandson back!", Clarabelle stated.
"Back off Clarabelle.", Olivia said.
"No, he's mine and he will be mine or there will be hell to pay.", Clarabelle stated, and Olivia heard Calvin scream. She held him close to her and Elliot came up behind him. The judge then issued the final warning, however, Clarabelle kept charging and the judge finally issued the notice that Clarabelle will be locked up forever and be put in Bellevue for the insane.
"I'm insane? No, your honor, they are insane if they think that they can get away with my grandson. He's my blood.", Clarabelle stated.
"Only by a small part because as it was told me, your son didn't want him. So, my ruling stands. Baliff take her out of the courtroom.", Judge Linden said and the kids came over to Calvin. He was shaking and his face read that he was scared. Olivia and Elliot went out the side door with him and then went to a bench. Liv sat next to him, while the kids and Elliot and Olivia tried to get him to realize that things were okay.
"Cal, listen, she's gone for good. Come on, snap out of it.", Dickie said.
"Momma's right here, Calvin. She's got you. It's okay. She's gone now.", Olivia said, and held him close.
"Momma, I am scared.", Calvin said, and cried.
"It's okay buddy, let's go home and we can have a family night. We can watch movies and do things together. Calvin, you are a part of our family. We want you here. We need you in our lives.", Maureen said, and Olivia smiled.
"But what if she gets free somehow and comes after me?", Calvin said.
"Bellevue is a safe place, Calvin. Trust me, she can't get out of there. Plus, I heard the judge say that she needs maximum security. She's not going to get out for a while.", Katie said.
"I just don't feel safe yet. I am sorry. I know I must seem like a brat.", Calvin said, and Liv held him close.
"No, Calvin, you don't. You've been through a lot today and you are allowed to feel uneasy. We've all been there, and now we need the time to grow and be a family. We need this time together to show you that the Stablers can handle anything.", Elliot said, and Calvin nodded.
"I want to go home.", Calvin said, and Liv nodded. They all piled in the car and went home. Calvin wanted to be alone, but Olivia knew that this wasn't good for him, so she told him that he needed to stay with her for a bit and just relax with her.
"I just want this day to be over.", Calvin said.
"It is baby, it is, and now we can heal. We knew she was crazy and today proved it. But sweetie, let me tell you just how proud of you I am. You were fearless in that court room when Barba was interrogating you. You felt no fear facing her, until she went nuts. You were showing me that you are not a little boy anymore.", Olivia said.
"But I am still a little boy mom. I am your little boy and you will always carry me on your shoulders. My help comes from your strength and from you. You were right there pulling me through anything that I have been through. You carried everything that I've been through, that you've been through or that any of us have been through on your shoulders. It was always you.", Calvin said, and Liv held him close, letting the tears fall that threatened to earlier.
"I love you Calvin.", Olivia said.
"I love you too momma.", Calvin said, and then went to his room and went to bed.
"We've got a great son, there, Liv. But he was right. You do carry all of the weight of the world on your shoulders, and I wish that you would share some of that. But I love you no matter what.", Elliot said.
"I know, it's just that I want everything to be perfect and this is how I do it. I love you too. Thank you for helping me protect him today, El. You were amazing.", Liv said and kissed him.
"You're amazing too.", Elliot said, and Liv kissed him again and then they headed off to be for their next adventure.
Author's note: I am sorry that this is so late. School has been a been crazy and things have gotten away from me. I hope that you enjoy this chapter. This chapter was all about the Stablers being invincible towards Clarabelle. Hope you enjoy! Up next, we see the eighth month for Olivia's pregnancy and the Braxton hicks starting again. We also see a case an issue for Chris and Serena. What happens with the babies? Will Olivia be okay with it while trying to prepare for the birth of her baby? Wait and see. Oh and if you have any suggestions for me, please keep it constructive. I don't mind cirticism, but if it's tearing something down then I don't like that. I have had a few people question Calvin's age due to the fact that he is emotional. He is a freshman in high school. However, since he had a rough child hood, he is finally able to be the kid that he has wanted to be. Hope you don't mind that. EO forever!
