Chapter 1

Noah and Sabrina Benson gave birth to a beautiful baby girl that they named Serena. They had the perfect life in New York City. They had family support, great careers, and money. Noah always strived to be the best and became a lawyer. Sabrina was a model in her teenage years, grew up, and became a doctor.

They grew up just fine in the city and had no reason to think their daughter would be any different. Serena was quite different though. She was a wild teenager. She didn't like her parents' rules and didn't care that her father, a prominent ADA and her mother a doctor, came from money.

They wanted to give her the world, but wouldn't stand for her disobedience. When Serena went to high school the problems only got bigger. She snuck out to a party one night, even though she was grounded. She met her best friend Elizabeth Donnelly outside and they took a cab to the party. "Serena, aren't you tired of getting in trouble?"

Elizabeth was a year older and knew both their parents had better expectations of them. She loved Serena, but they were getting older and the behavior was getting worse. "Never! I want to have fun. We're kids, that's what we are supposed to do. And it's almost the end of the school year. Wait until summer." Elizabeth sighed, she didn't agree, but followed her anyway.

When they got to the party, it was the usual, older boys, alcohol, and drugs. "Hi Elizabeth!" Serena giggled at her best friend's crush. "Hey Don! Are you ready to graduate?" Donald Cragen was the school's senior quarterback and he was in love with Elizabeth. He held his drink, "Yeah. Can I get you something." Serena hit her arm, "Sure, can you get two?" She pointed to Serena. "Munch, grab two drinks!"

Robert Munch didn't play football, he wasn't athletic at all. He was kinda a nerd, but he liked Serena. When he came over, she thanked him. They all danced and had fun. Serena drank a little too much. Munch saw her, "Hey, are you ok?" She laughed at him, "I'm great and you're cute." She kissed him on the lips and he smiled even though he knew she was drunk. "I need a bathroom. I'll be back."

She was stumbling and trying to find a bathroom. She opened a door and saw Don and Elizabeth. They were kissing and doing a lot more. His free hand was in her panties and she was really enjoying it. She heard a voice and thought it was Munch at first, but when he pulled her into a bedroom and said "Don't scream" she realized quickly it wasn't.

Serena never found the bathroom. She heard more voices and felt her panties come down, but the alcohol made it way too hard to react. She didn't know who and how many, but she remembered the pain and grunting as they took turns on top of her.

She remembered hearing their voices and the sound of the high-fives as they made her body react. Serena was wild but a virgin. The last thing she remembered was seeing shadows leave and the door close. Elizabeth, Don, and Munch found her passed out on the bed completely naked. They called for help.

When she woke up, she was in the hospital. Her parents told her she was raped. The police talked to her, they did a rape kit, but unless the boys were in the system wasn't much to do. Things were bad for Serena and when she found out she was pregnant it made everything worse.

Elizabeth, Don, and Munch all blamed themselves. Elizabeth came by everyday when Serena didn't come back to school. "Mr. and Mrs. Benson, I should have been with her. We shouldn't have been there at all. I'm so sorry." Serena refused to talk to any of them. "She didn't blame any of them. She knew it was her decisions and her fault that caused it.

Her parents didn't agree with abortion and they told Serena she would have the baby. She was homeschooled and on February 7th, at just 15 Serena gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. When Serena looked at her she only saw a reminder of the awful night. "Her hair is brown and so are her eyes." She looked at her parents, her family had a mix of strawberry blonde and bleach blonde color hair and most had blue eyes.

Her mother knew what Serena was saying. The baby had the features of her rapist. "She's beautiful and that's all that matters. Have you made a decision?" Serena looked at her baby, her parents said she had to have the baby, not keep the baby. She had options, adoption or her parents would raise her. "You keep her. I'm tired." Sabrina looked at her daughter, "You need to give her a name Serena." Serena turned over holding her sore still swollen belly, "You do it."

Noah and Sabrina named the baby after both of their mothers, "Welcome to world Olivia Margaret Benson." Serena never really warmed up to the idea of being a mom, especially at 15. Her mom and dad raised Olivia and Serena was more like a sibling.

After the baby she went back to school and she and Elizabeth graduated. Homeschool did something positive, pushed her ahead a grade. Serena changed after the rape and pulled it together, but their friendship wasn't the same. Serena and Elizabeth moved on to college. Serena wanted a career in literature and Elizabeth went with law. By the time Serena and Elizabeth were in their mid twenties they rarely spoke and were at the start of their careers.

Serena was a professor at Hudson University and Elizabeth was an ADA for New York City. She married Donald Cragen who was now a Sergeant for the New York police department and was quickly making his way up the ranks. After a shoulder injury it was his next best move. Munch was a detective and worked with him in the SVU unit.

Noah and Sabrina held onto the hope that Serena would take more of an interest in Olivia now that she had her life together, but Serena had different plans. Olivia was 10 the day she came home crying from school. Serena watched her daughter run to her mother sobbing, "Mommy! The kids at school are mean."

Olivia was completely different from Serena. She was a rule follower and always did the right thing. She made excellent grades and never gave them any trouble. "Am I adopted?" Serena looked up at the same time as her mom. This was the first time the subject really came up.

When Serena didn't take an interest in Olivia, her mother and father stepped in and took care of her. "No sweetheart you aren't adopted." She could see Olivia thinking through her eyes, "I'm the only one with brown hair and brown eyes. They all say I don't look like you. And last week Serena picked me up and I told them she was my older sister and they said I must be adopted."

Sabrina and Noah always agreed to tell her the truth when it was time. Serena never wanted Olivia to know, but her parents called the shots. "Olivia, you aren't adopted, but we do need to talk. When your daddy gets home we will sit down together and explain." Serena huffed and walked away. "Serena, let me remind you, when she was born you had a choice. I thought when you asked us to keep her it was because later you would at least take an interest in her."

After dinner Noah and Sabrina did just that. They made Serena participate, because even though the rape wasn't her fault, her choices lead to the situation. Her parents did everything they could, family therapy, more love, and attention. They never really did break through with her. "Serena, I won't lie to her, it's not fair."

Sabrina started, "Olivia, we aren't your mom and dad." Olivia, who was really smart, piped up, "But you said I wasn't adopted." Serena braced for the news, she had been dreading to hear out loud. Noah smiled, "You aren't sweetheart, but it wouldn't matter if you were. The only thing that matters is that we all love you. A family's love is forever."

Sabrina continued, "Olivia we're really your grandparents." Olivia squinted and blinked. She was only 10. They watched her carefully. Olivia looked at Serena and back at her now grandparents. "That means…" Serena stood up, "I'm your mom ok."
