Chapter 17-Bonding
Summary: Don and Olivia are sitting in a diner eating lunch and drinking coffee. They hadn't had a day where they just spent together as father and daughter since they found out that it was all-true. Olivia had left the twins with the older children. Elliot went out on assignment with John and Fin. Casey and Alex were in court together for the first time.
"Alex is in second chair next to Casey in that case with the guy who sold his daughter," Olivia said putting her coffee cup down. "She was so excited this morning to get back in the court room. Liz was jumping up and down for joy if you can believe it," she laughed and he smiled at her.
"I can believe it. Her and Alex were so close before she left, so that kind of makes sense," Don said bringing his cup up to his mouth.
"John told Elliot that they want to get married in front of a judge. Seeing they are both from very different religious backgrounds," she said looking down at her plate. "Liz offered to marry them," she said with a smile.
"Liz would do anything for Alex at this point." They both laughed and Don took Olivia's hand. Olivia smiled at him and he smiled back. "I can't believe I missed your whole life up to this point. I missed the first 35 years f my daughter's life. You didn't deserve that. You deserved to have a loving home with a mother and a father…" Olivia squeezed his hand gently to stop him. A tear rolled down her cheek.
"It's ok daddy. Mom was a drunk and I accepted that. Even if you were around I don't think you could have helped that," she said knowing that he was a recovering alcoholic himself. "Besides, up until I joined SVU my life was just like any normal city girl. You didn't miss much, believe me. Now as for having a family, I have one now. I have my father, a husband who loves me, and I have a chance to show everyone that nature over nurture can help with the result of being a good mother. Sure I had a bad childhood but my kids wont go through that." Her expression turned serious. She went to get up and got up after her. They left the diner and went to the station.
FATHER/ DAUGHTER BONDING, HOW SWEET!
"Dickie come help Lizzie feed the twins!" Maureen commanded to her brother as she picked up a laundry basket.
"Coming, coming!" He said reluctantly coming down the hall to the living room. He sat down on the couch next to Lizzie and picked up Junior out of his carrier. He took the bottle off of the coffee table and began feeding him.
Kathleen looked at her younger siblings all sitting on the couch. "Do you think that we should start calling Liv, mom? I mean only when her and dad are around of course," Kathleen smiled.
"You of all people are suggesting that? You were the one who didn't like her in the first place and now she is 'mom' worthy." Maureen shook her head.
"Well I mean these are our siblings, she is their mother, and she is married to our dad. So…I think it would be nice." Kathleen looked at each of her siblings and smiled.
Yeah. I think it would be a nice idea. She has definitely earned the name," Dickie added as he looked up from his brother to his sisters.
SIBLINGS BONDONG AND TALKING ABOUT FAMILY LIFE HOW CUTE!
Elliot walked over to John and Fin flipping through his note pad. "She said that the man who attacked her and her sister was about 6' 1" and had brown hair and eyes. The sketch artist is with her now," Elliot took a pen out of his pocket. He wrote some more on the note pad and then put both back in his pocket.
"Crazy son-of-a-bitch almost killed two women and we can only get the basic characteristics. He didn't say anything to her and he has no unique features. I mean the description she gave can be the description of over a thousand guys in Manhattan alone." Fin shook his head and cursed under his breath.
The sketch artist came over to the men with her drawing. "Well now that we have a description lets see if there is anyone in her daily life that looks like this." John walked over to the car and got in the driver side.

After they found some suspects to put in a line up they brought the woman in to the precinct. She stood in the room for just a moment before her attention went directly to one of the men.
"Number 4," she choked out.
"Are you sure? Just take your time," Elliot said comforting the woman.
"Yes it's him," she said as a tear streamed down her face.
Casey and Alex looked at each other and nodded." Thank you." The woman nodded and left the room. "You get him and we'll set up the trial," Casey motioned to Elliot.
Elliot arrested the man and he was charged and at the trial convicted on all charges. After the trial the guys went to the bar for some drinks.
"So do you and Alex know when the big day is going to be?" Elliot winked at John.
Whenever we can get the chance. We know that we want Liz to marry us." John smiled at his two friends.
MALE BONDING, WHAT A TRIP!
Alex and Casey were sitting on the couch in Casey's apartment.
"So how are things going with Brian?" Alex smiled and nudged Casey playfully on the shoulder.
Casey smiled. "He is amazing. I haven't felt this way about someone in a long time," Casey began to blush.
"Casey's in love, Casey's in love!" Alex chanted mockingly.
"Shut up!" Casey giggles and puts her face in her hands. She looked up and threw a pillow at Alex.
"Not this again!" Alex laughed.
"It's just you and me Alex!" Casey said throwing another pillow.
Alex ran to the other side of the room. "Catch me if you can!" Alex said laughing and stepping back and forth around the kitchen counter. Casey bolts across the room and grabs Alex from behind.
Ding Dong!
Alex walks over to the door and looks through the peephole. "Hey everyone is here!" She says cheerfully as she opens the door. Olivia and Elliot walk in holding the babies. Elliot's kids and Brian walk in after them. John and Fin walk in last and John goes over to Alex.
"Hey babe," he says going to kiss her. "How was your day honey?" He said smiling at her.
"Casey and I won two cases," she said giving Casey a high five.
"So you guys are pretty tight now, huh?" Olivia smiled at Alex and then Casey.
"What? Do you have a problem with your two best friends becoming close friends?" Brian looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"No, not at all," she said with a weak smile. "I am happy that they are friends. At least now everyone is here. That is all that matters to me," she smiled as Alex and Casey came over to her and squished her between them.
"Love you Olivia!" They said playfully.
"I love you guys too," Olivia smiled warmly.
As Alex and Casey broke away all of Elliot's kids came over to Olivia and ambushed her with hugs too. "We love you mom," they said in unison.
"Awwwww!" The group said as they saw the whole family together.
"FAMILY AND FRIENDS ALL BONDING TOGETHER, ISN'T THAT JUST THE CUTEST THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN?"

I thought I would sneak the end part in there to say kudos to his great work that he did on the show this past week.
