Anyways, thanks for all the reviews, and keep them coming!
The Other Room
While Olivia was still with Jenny, Cragen lead Huang to another room.
Elliot looked up from his seat when the door opened. "George." He greeted. "I would like you to meet Corrine and Arnold Lane, Jenny's biological grandparents."
"Hello." George said, a little taken a back. He shook their hands, and then sat down.
"Mr. and Mrs. Lane, this is Doctor George Huang, our department's psyciatrist. He, along with the social worker and myself, just want to ask you a few questions." Elliot said.
"Anything." Arnold answered.
"First of all, how did Jenny wind up in foster care?" Elliot began.
"Our daughter was very young when she got pregnant. Arnold and I were… less than thrilled, and we, well, we kicked her out." Corrine began. "I know it sounds horrible, but we were upset."
"We thought she'd move in with Matthew, her boyfriend." Arnold added. "Soon we found out that Matthew didn't want to be a father, and left our baby."
"We told her to come home, and apologized for what we had done." Corrine began again. "She came home for a little while, but never really forgave us. Although I can't say that I blame her."
"When Jenny was about seven months old our daughter moved out." Arnold continued. "She lived in a friend's basement for a while, but then was accepted into Manhattan College. She was able to get financial aid, and moved in a dorm that was made for young, unwed mothers."
"She was majoring in communications; wanted to be a journalist." Corrine smiled. "We kept in touch, and she was doing wonderfully, until she got sick."
"In her will she left Jenny in the care of her biological father." Arnold explained sadly.
"Why would she leave Jenny with him?" Elliot asked.
"She was still mad with us, and the last time I spoke with her, she said Matt had come back, and that he wanted to be in his daughter's life." Corrine said, stifling tears. "We went to visit one day, but Matt was gone. We found out… he had decided he didn't like taking care of a two year old, and dumped her at some hospital."
"They couldn't find any ID on her, so she was put into foster care." Arnold added, holding his wife's hand. "By the time we found her, those two monsters had her. The social worker said the papers were signed, and she was legally theres."
"Did you ever try to see her?" Elliot questioned.
"Every day for two years." Corrine said, losing the battle with her tears. "But that witch wouldn't let me see my grandbaby."
"We sent presents, and cards, but I doubt if Jenny ever got them." Arnold said, tightening his grip on his wife's trembling hand.
"Why did you stop trying?" Elliot asked. He needed to make sure these people really loved Jenny.
"Her foster parents got a restraining order. I was arrested twice before Arnold told me to stop." Corrine answered.
"If only we had known what was really going on in there." Arnold said. "Jenny wasfour the last time we saw her. Do you have children Detective?" He added.
"Four." Elliot said.
"Then you can imagine what it would feel like if one of them was taken away. Jenny might not be my daughter, but she may as well be. We just want her back." Arnold almost begged.
"Our Lilly would never have wanted this for Jenny." Corrine said. "She loved her so much."
"Wait, Lilly?" Huang asked, startled at the mention of that name.
"Yes, that was our daughter's name. Lillian." Arnold answered, a little confused. He reached into his wallet and pulled out a photo. He handed it to Huang.
Huang's eyes widened when he saw it.
"Everything okay?" Elliot asked, eying him suspiciously.
Huang just pulled Jenny's drawing out and held the two pictures side by side,
"Look at this!" He said.
Elliot peered over at what Huang was staring at.
"Well I'll be damned." Elliot breathed. The drawing Jenny had made looked eerily similar to the photograph.
"Is something wrong?" Corrine asked.
"How old did you say Jenny was when her mom died?" Elliot asked.
"Two." Corrine answered.
"Did she have a picture of her?" Huang asked.
"No, unfortunately." Corrine answered. "Why?"
"Well, this is Jenny's imaginary friend, Lilly." George answered. He handed the drawing to the Lanes.
Elliot and the Lanes all looked to George for an explanation.
"I don't think I have an answer for this one." He said.
TBC... the next chapter Jenny will be reunited with her grandparents, this one went back in time to before Olivia left the room, and the next one will take place after!
REVIEW! and hopefully the writers on SVU will FINALLY get Elliot and Olivia together (WITHOUT splitting them up!)
It should be interesting, considering Mariska Hargitay is leaving for maternity leave, I'm anxious to see how this is all going to pan out!
