While Elliot and Oliva were at home with Rachel on Saturday both had gotten a call. They both had to be at a crime scene since Fin had court and Munch he had a previous engagement.
When they got to the crime scene both of them were disturbed at what they saw. A couple was stabbed to death in the middle of Central Park and their five year old daughter had witnessed the whole thing. The man who had done it was now in custody because some bystanders had tackled him and e was arrested when the police arrived. Elliot and Olivia were here because of the girl who was now sitting in the back of a squad car.
Both of them walked up to her but Olivia spoke first, "Hi I'm Olivia whats your name?"
The girl looked frightened and didn't say anything. This prompted Olivia to speek again,"Honey we aren't going to hurt you we want to help you"
"My name is Megan" she said
"Wow thats a pretty name,"Elliot said,"How old are you?"
"I'm seven"
"Are you hungry Megan?" Olivia asked
The girl said nothing but simply nodded. "Ok well lets get you something to eat" Olivia said picking up the girl and carrying her over to their car. They then began driving toward the station house.
When they got there Elliot found something for Megan to eat while Liv sat with the girl in the crib. The girl hadn't talked much she just sat staring into space. When Elliot got back with the food he sat it in front of her and she began to eat. Elliot sat next to Liv on one of the cots and rubbed her back seeing that she had gotten attached to this girl.
When Megan finished eating she sat there siletly until she finally began to cry . She rambled as Olivia pulled her into a hug,"Why did he take my mommy and daddy? What am I gonna do? Whos gonna make me pancakes and take me to school?"
Olivia didn't answer her simply because she didn't have an answer. How do you tell a little girl that she has to go into foster care. You can't . Then Olivia got an idea . She wouldn't have to tell her that if she wasn't going into foster care. She could file for temporary custody until they found a relative.
Olivia lost in her own thoughts hadn't noticed that Megan had fallen asleep on her lap with tears in her eyes.She gently slipped out of the room and went to find Elliot.
When she found him he was in the locker room. He saw her and offered a weak smile."How is she?" he asked
"As can be expected we both know it was a matter of time before it fully hit her"
"Yeah " he agreed
"I was thinking and can I run something by you?" she asked
"Yeah shoot" he said sitting down on the bench
Olivia sat next to him and began to reveal her idea,"Well its too late now to go on a search for family and who knows if anyone will even take her but whether its just for one night or a week I can't let this kid go into foster care not after what shes been through, I was wondering well its up to you but I wanted to file for temporary custody"
He smiled at her seeing she was stumbling over her words and he took her in a hug while saying,"Baby you know I could never say no to you"
"I didn't want to just tell you and you not have a say in it though"she said
"Well I think its a great idea, I knew you were attache to her" he said standing up from the bench
She laughed and said,"You know me too well"
They had called Casey and got the ok to bring the girl home and when they got there she was sleeping so Olivia carried her up the stairs. It was considerably late and they expected Rachel to be in bed but to their surprise she was still awake watching TV. When she saw the looks on their faces she simply laughed and said,"What just because I am not as old as you guys doesn't mean I can't woory I wanted to make sure you guys got home ok"
With that both of them kissed her on the forehead. Liv set Megan down in the spare bed then retreated to the living room. When she sat down Rachel asked,"So whos that?"
"A girl from one of the cases I didn't have the heart to send her to foster care " Liv said
"Do you know how long she is staying ?"
"No we are gonna start looking for some family members of hers tomorrow." Liv said
"Oh cool shes cute"
"You don't mind do you?"
"Liv lets be serious do you remeber all the times I have told you I hate being a single child so now I have a sister whether it be for a few days or just one its awesome"
Liv laughed and patted her shoulder.
"But we are still going house hunting tomorrow right?"
"Oh shit Yea I'm sure Fin and Munch can take her its Sunday so I think it'll be fine"
"Ok cause this place is just too small"
"I agree, alright sweetheart I am going to join her father in bed don't you think you should head that way too?"
"I guess so"
When Olivia got into bed Elliot turned over and surprised her by kissing her on the mouth. She smiled and thats when he asked,"Got something you wanna tell me?"
"Huh?" she asked looking at him confused.
Thats when he pulled an EPT box from the nightstand drawer. She got a surprised look on her face and she hung her head."I'm not pregnant" she said
"But you thought you were?"
"Yes I was late and that morning you and Rachel ha to wait for me I was throwing up"
"But your not?"
"No I guess I threw up because of worry about being late and I got my period today."
"How do feel about that?"
"I don't know we didn't exactly talk about having kids"
"Well lets do it now"
"What El I told you I'm not pregnant"
"Liv I'm not dense I heard you but lets talk about it I want to know what you think"
"Well I think I would love to have kids especially with you but I feel like I shouldn't be aloud to have kids"
"Liv wha are you talking about you would be a great mom"
"The only example I have was my mom , I don't want to be her Elliot"
"You won't if anything she taught you what not to do, Liv I've seen you around children I mean look at how you handled Megan your perfect and you would be the perfect mom" he said taking her face in his hands and wiping away the tear that had now fell .
"Elliot no one is a perfect parent"
"Thats because you haven't had a kid yet just wait as soon as you become a mother you'll be the first perfect parent"
She giggled and just snuggled closer to him. "So what about you what did you think when you saw the box?"
"Honestly I was thrilled I thought wow I bet she is the sexiest pregnant woman on this planet"
She just stared up him as she got tears in her eyes. "I love you Elliot"
"I love you Olivia" and with hat they fell asleep in eachothers arms.
The next morning Megan woke up to the smell of pancakes. When she walked into the kitchen she found Elliot and Rachel eating . Olivia had gone to the store to find something for Megan to wear. When she sat down Elliot handed her a plate of pancakes to her which she quickly covered in syrup. When she was about to take a bite she stopped and looked upat Elliot and said,"Are you my new daddy? My daddy always made me pancakes"
"No baby I am your new friend remember I am a police man"he said in return
"I love my daddy" she said before she went back to eating pancakes. Rachel watched in disbelief as the girl said that and she felt bad for her. She didn't know what happend to her but she could see how confused she was.
After Olivia got back Megan got dressed and the four of them headed to the station to see if Fin and Munch would take over for the day.
When they got to the tation they had found Fin and Elliot aske him,"Hey man can you take over for the day we have to meet with the realtor but we'll be back as soon as we finish"
"Yeah man no problem" he said
"Alright well I'll go get Megan"
When he came back Liv and Megan were with him now. Liv and Elliot had said goodbye to Megan and were about to walk out the door when Megan ran up to Olivia and grabbed her leg.Oliva turned around and squatted down to talk to the girl,"Whats wrong baby?"
"I thought you said you were my friend why are you leaving friends don't leave"
"Baby we are gonna come back this man is nice he is my friend you have to stay with him"
"I don't want to stay with him I want to saty with you" she said
Oliva didn't say anything she just aimply looked at Ellio with questioning eyes. He knew exactly what she was thinking and he nodded his head. Olivia smiled at him and scooped the girl up in her arms while telling Fin,"Will you call us if you find anything on her family"
He nodded and watched as the three of them left to meet Rachel in the car.'This is gonna be interesting' he thought.
