Daughters Chapter one
Elliot Stabler listened as his two oldest fought over something he was sure didn't matter, he glanced at his wife who sat on the couch with a text book reading ignoring the kids. He closed his laptop and files and went up the steps to stop the fighting.
"I'm telling you Mo, something is off me and Dickie are the only two with dark hair! And not only do i have dark hair but i have dark eyes! Dad and Mom both have light eyes that's not how biologically works Mo!" Elliot leaned against the wall listening to one of his greatest fears coming true. His baby realized that she wasn't exactly his and Kathy's baby. He pulled his phone out and texted Olivia.
Is it okay if I bring Kathleen by, she's asking some questions i'm not ready to answer alone
Sure i'll order chinese
Elliot took a deep breath before he knocked on the bedroom door that Kathleen and Maureen shared.
"Hey Katie, I'm heading over to Liv's. Do you want to go with me?"
"Yes! I'll be ready in 5 mintues." He walked back down stairs and seen Kathy looking straight at him
"You're taking her to Liv's?"
"It's time Kath she's asking questions that only Liv and I can answer."
"I know I just thought I would have more time with her." Kathy said quietly
"Liv deserves to know her too." He said quietly knowing that they were going to lead to a fight.
"I mean clearly Liv is who you want so why don't you just stay there, you and Kathleen both can just stay with your precious Liv."
"Fine!" He said putting his laptop and files in his bag and then going upstairs and grabbing a duffel bag and pushing clothes into it. He then knocked on Kathleen's door.
"Hey Katie, pack a bag okay in case it's late when we get done at Aunt Liv's."
"Okay Daddy."
45 minutes later Elliot and Kathleen were getting out of his jeep in Manhattan in front of Olivia's building.
He used his key to get into the building, he smiled as he watched Kathleen skip ahead excited to see Liv. He loved that Kathleen loved liv so much and knew that Liv felt exactly the same. As they waited for the elevator he felt his phone buzz in his pocket. He opened it, not really surprised to see what Kathy had texted him.
I'm filing for divorce, you can have Kathleen and i'll let you see the others every other weekend
Okay on the divorce, we'll talk about the kids. He texted back, even though he should have felt like his world was ending he didn't. He honestly felt relief at his sham of a marriage ending they had hung on to for too long anyway. A few seconds later they were at Liv's door, Kathleen happily knocked on the door till Olivia opened it.
"Hi Katie Bug!" Liv said hugging her
"Hi!" the teenager said as she made her way inside, instantly going to the room she had long ago claimed as hers.
"What's wrong?" Liv asked him.
"Kathy wants a divorce and i'm giving it to her. Liv, I can't keep doing this pretending i'm happy and we're about to destroy our little girl." He said with unshed tears in his eyes
"Oh el. We knew this day was coming on both counts."
"I'm not upset over the divorce I'm more upset about telling Katie the truth."
"The truth about what?" Kathleen asked coming back and hearing the end of the conversation
"Katie bug, we need to tell you something." Liv said leading her to the couch with Elliot following
"I think I know what you need to tell me."
"You do?" Elliot asked.
"Yep i'm your kid, i mean it makes sense i've always been closer to liv and mom has never liked me as much as the others plus i kinda found this in your keepsake box dad." Kathleen said, holding a photo of a young Olivia and Elliot out to them.
"Do you have questions?"
"Lots of them! Why marry mom uh Kathy and not mom, how did you meet? Why not tell me the truth."
"Because Katie Bug at the time I was still living with my mom and your dad was married to your mom-"
"Kathy!"
"To Kathy already, and we had to make decisions that were best for you. We made a choice for me to have you and give you to El and Kathy and I made the decision to move on thinking I would never see you or your parents again but then when I was assigned to SVU I got my new panther which was your dad."
"Why not tell me the truth then?"
"Baby you were 5, you wouldn't have understood." Elliot said as he noticed the tears on Olivia's face.
"Why don't we watch a movie together and we'll talk more later." Elliot said
"Okay! Is the movies in the same spot mom?"
"Um yeah Katie bug." She said, Kathleen went to the shelf and Elliot slid over to Liv and wrapped her in a hug.
"It's going to be okay." He whispered
"I thought she would be angry"

"Kids can be resilient. Especially our kid." He said kissing her forehead as Kathleen came back with a movie and then curled up with them. By the end of the movie Kathleen was curled up asleep on the couch so Elliot pulled Liv into her bedroom and just held her close which is something he didn't let himself do often.
"I love you." He whispered into her hair.
"I love you too." She whispered back burying her head in his neck, he pulled her toward the bed and laid down with her.
"I gotta figure out the next steps."
"Why don't you and Katie Bug stay here? She already has a room." Olivia said quietly, causing him to look down at her.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes El, I'm sure our agreement is just coming up faster than we thought" Liv said, kissing him gently.
