Sorry these are late responses to past reviews sorry I've taken so long

FaithHopeLove: I'm gonna double check it for now on before sending it off. And you were right I did come up with something but I've only gotten a few pages written down of ideas.

CSIFan4Life: Thanks 

SVU My Life: I'll try my best to and some more Munch. Just so you know all the people that enjoy my writing I'm working on a new story that's just gotten off the ground it's going to have more Munch.

"Is deemed acceptable I grant you full custody. Miss Scott it is the court that wishes you the best."

"Thank you your honor." She spoke with total confidence deep down she knew that there was a good chance that she would get custody.

Jaden knew that Jamie and herself were now really safe maybe just maybe she could make it better for the both of them one day at time. That night around eight Jaden put her sister to bed but not before telling her the good news.

"You mean that I can stay with you?"

"Yeah, you and me together forever."

"Forever is a long time right?"

"Yes, yes it is. Get some sleep my little rag muffin."

She kissed her sister on the forehead before turning off the lamp and joined Kathleen and her parents at the kitchen table. Earlier that night she was told they wanted to sit down with her

"Is something wrong dad?"

"No, but our ADA went a head and pulled a few strings." Elliot explained as he lay the papers down on the table, the same papers he had shown his wife they both wanted to see her reaction together.

"What are these?" she picked up the thick booklet of paper her eyes said it all "You guys want to take care of us, but I don't want to impose on you guys any further then I already have."

"We love having you two around. Your not imposing on anyone." Kathy spoke sincerely

"You guys are really serious aren't you?" Jaden felt like she owed Kathleen's parents the world and then some. "Thank you so much." she got up out of her chair and hugged both Elliot and Kathy "You've both done so much for me and my sister!"

"Believe me you're well worth it."

Jaden really couldn't get over the fact that someone actually cared enough to take both of them in with no questions asked. Just as Kathy was about to open her mouth someone knocked on the door. Kathleen's had set her and Andy up on a date but she ran the idea by her parents first receiving their approval. She figured with everything that happened and taking care of her sister on top of that she could really use a well deserved break. There at the door stood Andy dressed in his best clothes looking very much like a young Brad Pitt. Immediately upon seeing him she ran straight into his arms.

"How did it go?" implying that he was talking about that afternoon he took her chin in his hand and looked at where it had swelled up "Come on I've got the whole night planned it's your night to be taken care of."

Jaden was a bit reluctant to leave Jamie but getting one night off did sound particularly appealing to her. Kathleen's parents gave her a look that said 'go have fun'. Within ten minutes of Andy's arrival the two of them left for a night of fun but not before checking on Jamie finding she was sound asleep with Mr. Flopples. Elliot and Kathy had this nostalgic look on their faces.

"You guys aren't going to get all nostalgic on me are you?" their daughter asked upon receiving no response for either parent she left the room letting them reminisce.

"Poor girl she's had to grow up so fast, she's a natural born mother." Kathy wished that none of this had happened to her. That things were normal for her.

Andy and Jaden's first stop took them to a restaurant by the water it was the perfect romantic spot. Lit candles were set out on the table, the light from the moon reflected off the water it was like something from "Moulin Rogue" which was her favorite movie. The beauty was there and the love was defiantly was making an appearance tonight.

"This place is beautiful." Jaden marveled at it all.

"My brother told me about it he sort of helped plan this all out." he admitted.

"I love it it's been forever since I've been to a restaurant." she said between bites Aww that's so cute.

It was about to get better for her Andy dug into his coat pocket pulling out a box with a neatly tied ribbon that matched her eyes perfectly. The look on Jaden's face let Andy know that she loved it there was pure happiness written on her face.

"Its jade since your name is Jaden I figured that it was perfect."

"I love it! Its beautiful thank you." she squealed with delight as she put the necklace on.

Their next stop was a small theater where they had just re-released her favorite movie the night was perfect she couldn't have asked for more. The movie ran a little past quarter-to-eleven before she would be dropped off at the Stabler's residence Andy decided to stop at a gas station, unknowingly it would be a huge mistake on his part. The gas attendant he smelt of car oil. The smell reminded her of that horrible night tears burned behind her eyes. The smell caused all of those horrible memories to come flooding back to her like a raging river.

"You okay?" Andy asked concern marked his every word.

"Yeah, I'm fine." she lied and knew that something wasn't right.

On the way back to Kathleen's house Jaden fell asleep in the passenger's seat the gentle movement of the car had put her to sleep. Calling her name she began to stir ever so slightly.

"It's in the grill cheese maker!" she began talking in her sleep

"What's in the grill cheese maker?" he laughed at the randomness of it all before gently waking her up.

"I'm sorry about earlier it's just—it's just that rape—the guy—he smelt like oil." it was clear that it was hard for her to talk about it.

"I didn't know, but I'm here for you, everyone is.

Andy walked his girl friend to the door before entering the house they each leaned in locking lips.

The next morning Kathleen and Jaden had gotten up extra early and were ready for the day that sat on the couch going over the details of her date.

"Ugh I can't believe it. It's in the grill cheese maker?" both girls giggled at it but Jaden still blushed.

"You should hear Dickey I swear he carries on conversations in his sleep."

"But I mean it's in the grill cheese maker!" she couldn't imagine how silly she sounded.

"What's in the grill cheese maker?" Kathy asked as Elliot followed her down the steps.

"Someone say something about grill cheese?"

"Hey it could have been worse." offered Kathleen with a grin on her face.

"I guess so but it was so embarrassing."

"Okay let's move past the whole grill cheese thing and get to the juicy part."

"Kathleen!" exclaimed her mother

"What? Dish the details."

"We went to dinner. Oh the restaurant was perfect it was so romantic during dinner he gave me this." she showed off the necklace "Then he took me to a movie afterwards."

"Did he kiss you?" Kathleen's mother once again said her name in that way that you knew you had done something a parent didn't like "Well did he?" this time she leaned closer so her mother wouldn't hear her.

"A lady never kisses and tells." Jaden grinned mischievously but not before sticking her tongue out.

"You did, you kissed Andy didn't you!"

"Ewwww Jaden you kissed a boy?" Jamie looked disgusted as she walked into the room "You have cooties now!" Jaden loved her sister to death she was determined to make sure that Jamie had a better childhood then herself.

"Just think when you're older you'll probably kiss a boy then you'll have cooties." Jaden joked elbowing Kathleen in the side lightly.

"Ewwww Jaden's got cooties." her sister said over and over in a sing song voice.

Pulling Jamie down onto the couch Jaden gave her sister a kiss on the cheek joking infecting her with the deadly cootie virus. Elliot and Kathy watched as Jamie settled down in her lap if Jaden had been several years older then what she really was you would think they were mother and daughter.

"Jaden?" Jamie looked right up at her sister.

"Hmmm?"

"Can I meet him?"

"Meet who?"

"The boy you kissed silly."

"I'll see what I can do."

Jamie motioned for her sister to come closer so she could whisper something into her ear.

"Was it icky?"

"No, it was nice." she looked like she was remembering every detail of it.

"You got it bad." Kathleen smiled at her friend's new happiness.

After breakfast Kathy left to get the twins ready for school leaving Elliot to do the dishes. He watched from the kitchen as Jaden carried on like nothing had even happened. She's so strong, reminds me of someone else he thought to himself.

"Why don't we get you ready for school huh?"

"Do I have to go?"

"Come on."

Jamie slowly sauntered off the couch with Jaden following closely behind her. Getting off the couch herself Kathleen gave her father a hug. A gesture that was uncommon for her. Her actions caught her father's attention.

"What was that for?" it was uncommon for her to hug her father like that.

"For helping Jaden and her sister I didn't know if you were going to be mad at me for sneaking out of the house, I had to help her."

"I'm not mad. Kathleen what you did that night was very grown up and I'm proud of you." he pulled Kathleen in for another hug but not before telling her once again how proud he was.

"What's going to happen to them dad?" she pulled away looking him in the eyes.

"I'm not sure Kat, Novack will want to talk to Jaden—"

"No I mean what's going to happen to them after this is over."

"I don't know we'll figure that out later why don't you go get ready." her father suggested.

Leaving her father to stand there wondering what would happen to them after their father was put in jail Elliot truly really didn't know what would happen to them. Right now he had to focus his attention on the present. Worry about that when the time comes he told himself. He knew that they couldn't just be left alone someone had to help both girls through this, especially Jaden. Maybe she wasn't showing it just yet but Jaden was going to need more help then her sister was. The previous night as Kathy and himself lay awake they talked about how proud they were of their daughter and just about everything else under the sun.

Kathy drove the twins into school before going into work herself. Elliot was to drive the two Scott's in and Kathleen. Dropping little Jamie off Jaden walked her right into the school and straight to class. Before returning to the car she informed the office of the situation leaving out most parts.

"If anyone but myself comes to pick Jamie up for any reason she's to stay here until I come to get her, it's just things are—"

"I'm vaguely aware of the situation you can be assured that Jamie is safe here." Interrupted the principal.

"Thank you."

"Jaden, your sister is lucky to have someone like you to be there for her. But if you need anything."

"I'll be okay I've got it handled."

Later that day Novack sat with Jaden in one of the empty rooms at the Stabler's house. The two of them sat going over what questions could and mostly likely would be asked when she testified against her father and Vincent Whitham. Casey knew that it wasn't going to be easy for Jaden to talk about what happened to her, Elliot had told her that she hadn't given much in the way of details that when ever he tried to talk to her about it she either broke down or became uncomfortable. Jaden was a victim, but unlike the other victims that the special victims unit dealt with day in and day out she was strong. Casey admired her for that.

"This isn't going to be easy is it?" Jaden quietly asked as she mindlessly twisted her hair around her finger.

"No, but in the time I've been doing this I've never had someone say they regretted testifying."

"I guess I have to face both my demons, one shares my blood." she was none too thrilled about it either.

"You'll do great I think we've prepared enough. Do you think you're ready?"

"I guess we'll find out soon enough. Jamie isn't going to have to do this is she?" God I hope not she doesn't need to be put through this.

"I doubt it, just remember what we've covered and you'll be fine."

After Casey had left the Stabler family plus the two new additions all gathered around the television chips and pop corn set out before all of them. The movie of choice for the night was 'Incredibles'. It felt nice to be part of a normal family for once in her life. During the movie Dickey nudged his sister getting her attention and whispered something to her. Picking up another handful of pop corn all seemed normal that was until the pop corn went flying. All of the occupants of the house abandoned the movie and engaged in the pop corn war of the century. The war ended with Elliot and Kathy with the most pop corn in their hair and on their clothes. Their mess took quite a while to clean up but it was worth the fun.

Jaden lay awake on the couch as her sister lay next to her soundly sleeping. Unfortunately for Jaden sleep would not come that easily for her it would be several hours before she would rest. Tomorrow would be a big day for her it would also be the most trying day.

Well I need some people to beta for me if anyone is interested please give me a shout.
