Detective Olivia Benson's life changes hopefully for the better. However, she knows that there is going to be some obstacles here and there, but with the help of a love one, she will overcome them. This is an A/O fanfic; I do not mean to offend anyone. Therefore, if you do not like, then do not read.

A/N here is another chapter for you guys. I tried really hard to go more on Brian's story, but I go were my story wants me to go, and it wanted me to carry on with the rest of it. So I am sorry if you are disappointed. Plot twist ahead.

To Bkwrmchar: Christine is Cory's biological mother. I played it like my cousins baby, she has no biological ties to the baby, but somehow the baby has her smile and eyes. Yeah, Olivia should have called Alex, but she was in shock and just wanted to get home.

To: lovingfanfic2death: I do not mind the cursing, in-fact my email kinds of censers it anyway. Therefore I don't get the full aspect, but you are saying nothing I haven't heard before.


Over the next two month, Brian Sanders had plead guilty at the advice of his lawyers, when he had seen the evidence against him. There was a tape and he was also caught in the act. Olivia was now getting back in the swing of things, in fact with the counseling Olivia was nearly back to normal, although she was continuing to see the Psychologist. Olivia and Alex were enjoying the time together as living together, Alex had even had her family over once for family dinner. Casey and Sean had started dating, in-fact they were going out nearly every chance they can. Alex was worried that Casey was jumping into things fast because of her relationship with Brian. Nonetheless, Casey had assured her that she never felt this happy before, not since she lost her fiance' Charlie. After Casey had told her this Alex was happy for her and her brother.

Alex was in the squad room with the Detectives she was looking at the evidence they had on one of the cases. Munch and Fin were guiding her threw it. Alex was keeping up with them. Casey was away in Las Vegas on a personal vacation; Alex's brother Sean had joined her although his was a business travel. He was meeting one of his higher paying clients out there. Olivia looked up when she seen Casey come into the squad room looking happy. "Hey Case, you win big out there in Sin City?"

"Yeah" Casey says to Olivia. Casey did not know Alex was in the squad room. Alex was on the other side of Munch's desk looking at a file, and eating a donuts that Fin had brought in. "I would say so. I got married." Casey says holding up her hand to show her engagement ring and wedding ring right next to it. Alex started coughing, they all turned to look at her, she did the universal signal for choking, and Fin, and Munch jumped into action. Olivia was at her side with a glass of water instantly.

"YOU DID WHAT?" Alex says as soon as she was able to speak. Casey was married to her brother; oh, she was going to kill her brother when she got her hands on him. No her mother was going to kill her brother when she heard about this.

"Sean and I got married. Alex I am sorry that you found out like this. Sean wanted to tell you himself, probably tonight or something." Casey says to her. "Before you say anything, we were not drunk and Sean did not take advantage of me. We both wanted this, Al I love him. I never felt like this." Casey finishes. Olivia looks to both of them. She did not know what to do. For one she did not know what Alex was going to do, but another part of her wanted hug Casey because she was happy for Casey.

Alex sighed; yeah it really was a funny way of finding out your brother married one of your best friends. In fact, it almost killed her. Nonetheless, she was happy for her brother and friend. She could tell that Casey was happy and that her brother was happy as well. She looked around the room and seen that the boys were confused as anything at what was going on. "Well guys I guess I have a sister." Alex says going up and hugged her new sister-n-law. "So are you taking Cabot or staying with your maiden name?"

"I haven't really decided it yet. I think I am staying with Novak for right now." Casey says hugging Alex back. "Are you okay with this." Casey says pulling back a little, "I had almost killed you with that."

"Yeah, it was a little bit of a shock, but I am okay with it. I mean it Case, I am happy for you two." Alex says to her. "I really am. So does mean you are moving out?" Alex says.

"Wow wants her out that fast." Olivia says to Alex. Olivia goes up and hugs Casey. "Congrats Casey, I am happy for you and Sean." She looks to the boys and asked "Drinks tonight? My mom has Cory." Elliot, Fin and Munch nod their heads, they weren't going to turn down a drink.

"No, I don't want her out that fast; I just don't want Sean in." Alex says. Olivia nodded the place was already small enough. "Hey why don't we go to Brendon's place tonight? If I call ahead we can reserve a room." Alex asked.

Olivia thought that was not a bad idea, they can throw Casey and Sean a wedding party. However, she knew that the squad was going to most likely find out whom Alex's mom was. She did not know if Alex was ready for that, Olivia knew that the boys would never do anything about it. Nonetheless, Alex was right some people would assume that Alex was getting special treatment. "Are sure you're ready for that?"

"Why does she have to be sure of it, I know that you guys are trying to throw me and Sean a party, shouldn't we be ready for that?" Casey says to her.

"I was asking if she is okay with the boys meeting her family, you dumb-ass. You and Sean will be fine." Olivia says to her. Casey finally got it; she mouthed the word 'oh'.

"Yeah, I am sure that I will be fine, I trust the boys" Alex says.

"Do we get a say in this, or better yet does this Brendon get a say since you are about to throw a party at his place." Munch asks finally getting a word in for the boys, "Mazel tov, by the way. Count me in for drinks if it is okay with this Brendon guy." He hugs Casey.

"Brendon owns a restaurant that is what Alex is talking about. Brendon is Alex and Sean's brother." Casey says hugging the rest of the boys. "Please come, I would like the idea of celebrating with you guys especially since my family is out west."

"Sure I will bring Kathy, I am sure that she won't mind a night without cooking. Kathleen and Maureen can watch the twins." Elliot says.

"Count me in." Fin says. "I want to meet this other Cabot and scare him if he ever hurts you. Although, I have to say if he is anything like this Cabot I think he might be scaring us at some point. What does he do?"

"He is in Family Law." Casey says already proud of what her husband does.

"Should I be offended at what Fin just said?" Alex whispers to Olivia. Olivia shrugged her shoulders; she did not know how to answer that. Alex could be quite scary when she wanted to be.

"Two lawyers huh, in the family. I guess by the reaction Teflon gave, this was unexpected. Don't tell me Casey Novak just went through a shot-gun wedding." Munch says with a smirk. Both Alex and Olivia look up at her to see if it was true.

"Ahh, no, this was a spur of the moment for Sean and I. We were in Las Vegas, and said, what the hell, let's get married. I know you probably all think it was stupid, but it felt so right to Sean and I, I haven't felt like this in a long time." Casey says with a dreamy look.

"Okay before miss dreamy eyes goes off into la-la land, we are all on for tonight. That way Alex can call her brother now, to reserve the room." Olivia says. All of them nod the head.
