Chapter Twelve
The next few days Olivia took some family time to be with Emma and Noah. Olivia got a phone call from Langan. "Hey," she answered. The conversation didn't last very long, "Thank you, again."
"Who was that?" Noah asked, coloring on the floor.
"That was Trevor Langan. Emma, Wheatley and anyone related or associated with him can never touch you, or try and adopt you." Liv said smiling.
"So what does that mean for you and me?" Emma asked.
"We start the process next week." Olivia smiled. Her phone rang again. It was Elliot, this conversation was a bit longer than the last one. "Thanks El," she hung up the phone. "That was Elliot, they've added the shooting charges to Wheatley's case."
"Good," Emma said.
The rest of the week flew by pretty quickly. Olivia went back to work and both Emma and Noah went back to school. Olivia saw a lot of Kathleen in Emma, hard working, yet caring. Noah on the other hand was your typical 4 grade boy, refusing to go back to school.
"Welcome back Cap," Fin said, as Olivia walked in.
"Hey Liv," Amanda said.
"Hey guys," Liv said. "What you got for me?"
"We got two date rapes, same suspect though." Amanda said. Just then Langan walked in. "Ketch me up in a minute." Olivia walked to her office.
"Sorry to barge in unannounced." He said, closing the door behind him. "I just have some last pieces of paperwork for you to sign and I also have one Emma needs to sign."
"Alright, I can get Emma down here."
"I can come back." Trevor said leaving. "Congrats Liv," he said walking out.
The rest of the day went by pretty slowly. Wasn't too busy. Elliot came in with Emma and Eli.
"Hey," Amanda said to Emma and Eli.
"Hi," they both said.
"Amanda, this is Eli, my son. Eli, this is Detective Rollins."
"Please, call me Amanda." she said, shaking Eli's hand.
"Nice to meet you." He said with a smile.
"Is Liv here?" Elliot asked.
"In her office."
They walked away. "She's pretty, dad." Eli said, walking away. "Yeah, and about 20 years too old." Elliot said, pushing his son's head in the direction of Olivia's office. Emma just laughed. Elliot knocked on the door.
"Come in," Liv said. "Hey," She said, realizing it was Elliot.
"Hi, Langan here?" Elliot asked.
"Right behind you." Langan said, squeezing through the doorway.
The five of them sat around the coffee table in Liv's office.
"Alright the last thing we need to do is Emma, you need to decide what you want to legally change your last name to. It can be anything you want." Langan mentioned. He pushed the paper towards Emma. She took the paper and pen in her lap and wrote something down and signed at the bottom. "Congratulations, Captain Benson, and Emma Benson. I'll get this filed tonight" Langan said, shaking both of their hands. "Should we go out and celebrate?" Liv asked Emma. Emma set the stack of papers on the table. "I'll walk you two out." Langan said, following the two girls out of the office.
"You ready to go too?" Elliot asked Eli. Eli nodded. Both men got up from the couch they were sitting on. Eli looked at the papers on the table and suddenly stopped. "Dad," he said, stopping Elliot from walking out the door. Elliot looked back at his son. "Look at the name," he said pointing down at the stack of papers. Elliot walked over near his son and picked up the papers. He read the name, Emma Benson-Stabler. He set the papers back on the table. "Let's go," he said wrapping his arms around Eli.
