A/N: Thank you all for the reviews from last chapter! I'm kinda glad that Olivia wound up saving herself last night, but at the same time I kinda wanted things to go a little more like my story here. I think it's the writer in me. Anyway, here's the next chapter... Enjoy!

Olivia woke up and looked at the clock. It was 8:30, Brian was still asleep. She sat up and kissed him softly and got out of bed, putting on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt she walked out of the bedroom and saw Calvin sitting on the couch, watching TV. She smiled and walked over to him. "Hey, kiddo, you're up early." She sat down next to him.

He looked over at her. "Habit, I guess. I always had to make breakfast for myself."

Olivia smiled and kissed his head. "Well, I will make breakfast for you today. What do you want?"

Calvin shrugged. "Whatever you want to make, I'm not picky."

Olivia hugged him gently. "You sure you're okay?"

Calvin shook his head. "I just don't understand why Mom can never give up the drugs. She tells me all the time she wants to get her head on straight and be there for me, but that only ever lasts a couple weeks."

Olivia took a deep breath. "I know honey, but you have to know that her addiction has nothing to do with you. Honey, she's sick. Addiction is a nasty disease, and it's one that affects each member of the family. Your mom loves you; I know she does, but that addiction… once you're in it, it's nearly impossible to get out of. I know; my mom was an addict too."

Calvin looked at her. "She used heroin too?"

Olivia shook her head. "No, her drug of choice was alcohol. She drank all the time when I was growing up. I don't think I saw her sober until I was in my twenties. She was a mean drunk, and I was the constant reminder of the worst day of her life. She hated me. When she finally got sober, we finally had a real relationship, but that only lasted so long. I wouldn't talk to her when she was drunk. I couldn't. Then one day she got really drunk, and fell down a flight of stairs, and died."

Calvin hugged her and started to cry. She hugged him tight and rubbed his back gently. "It's okay, sweetie. Let it out." She rocked him gently. Her heart was breaking; she hated seeing Calvin this way, but she made sure she was never going to feel like this again. She would make sure that he always had someone to come home and talk to, a shoulder to cry on. She would make sure he had someone to make him breakfast and have fun with. She would make sure he had a mom.

Calvin looked up at her. "You're the closest thing to a mom I've ever had."

Olivia smiled, feeling the tears in her eyes. "We're going to make sure that never changes. Brian and I will do whatever it takes to give you the family you deserve." She wiped the tears away from his eyes and hugged him again. "So, how about I make breakfast and we get ready to head down to CPS and get this whole process started?"

He nodded with a smile. "That sounds good."

Olivia kissed his head again. "How about eggs, bacon, and hash-browns for breakfast?"

Calvin nodded. "Sounds good. I didn't know you could cook."

"That's because last time I was always working. I've taken some time off, well… I had to."

"What happened?"

Olivia took a deep breath. "Um, I was attacked. I'm on my way to getting better, but my ankle and wrist are still weak, so I'm in physical therapy to help strengthen them. I can't hunt down bad guys with a bum ankle and wrist, now can I?"

"Are you really okay?"

Olivia nodded. "Yeah, it's still hard sometimes, but I'm getting there. Brian's helped a lot, plus I have a counselor I see on a regular basis and I'm on some medication to help me too. I'm going to be okay."

Calvin smiled. "Good, 'cause I don't know what I'd do if you turned out like mom too."

"I can promise that won't ever happen."

Olivia made breakfast, brewed some coffee and smiled. "Help yourself Calvin, I'm going to go wake Brian up." She walked into the bedroom and crawled into bed, getting on top of him and kissing him passionately. She felt him start to kiss back, felt his hands on her hips and she smiled, breaking the kiss gently. "Good morning, Sunshine," she whispered against his lips.

He smirked. "Mmm, good morning, sexy." He flipped them over so he was on top of her and she giggled. He started hissing her neck, his hands started to explore her body.

She let out a soft moan and she rested her hand on the back of his head. "Mmm, Bry… Baby, Calvin is in the other room eating breakfast. We can't."

He let out a sigh and kissed her. "You're right. He'd be too suspicious."

Olivia smiled. "Later, love. Later."

He smirked. "Don't be making promises you can't keep, Pancakes."

She bit her bottom lip. "Who says I can't keep that one?" She pulled him in to a kiss and smirked. She nipped at his bottom lip and broke the kiss. "Come on, breakfast is ready. Bacon and eggs."

"You, baby, are a tease."

She smiled and sat up, kissing him again. "But you love me for it."

He kissed her back and ran his hands over her body. "I do, and I may have to tease back."

She raised an eyebrow. "But see, I can tease you all day long, and not have it be obvious. Just brushing against you accidentally, subtle touches, and no one would be any the wiser."

He looked at her. "Is that a threat?"

She kissed him and bit his lip again. "Not at all, it's a promise." She ran her fingers through his hair and gently tugged. "It's going to be a fun day." She winked and pushed him off her and walked out of the bedroom, swaying her hips. She looked at Calvin and smiled. "Hey, sweetie, how was breakfast?"

He smiled up at her. "It was really good. I didn't know you could cook that well."

Olivia sat next to him and gently ran her hand over his head and kissed his head. "How about you hop in the shower and get ready?"

Calvin looked at her. "You just want to make out with Brian."

Olivia smirked. "Listen to you. Is it that obvious?"

Calvin nodded. "A little. It's okay, I'm glad to see you happy."

Olivia smiled. "Go hop in the shower, get ready, we'll be ready when you are." She saw him get up and walk to the bathroom. She got up and walked back into the bedroom and closed the door, taking Brian's hand and pulled him into their bathroom, starting the shower, and shedding her clothes. She stepped in the shower and started kissing Brian, running her hands over his chest. "Mmmm."

Brian broke the kiss and smiled. "Not that I'm not happy, but what's going on?"

"Calvin's getting ready, we need to get ready and be able to make out for as long as possible."

Brian smirked and pressed her against the wall, starting to kiss her neck. He gently bit her neck and she moaned. Her hand shot to the back of his head and she smiled, he smirked and his hands moved down her body, starting to play with her clit.

Olivia moaned, her head falling back and she closed her eyes. "God, baby!" She ran her hands down his chest and took him in her hand, starting to stroke him. They didn't need to have sex, they just needed a release. Their hands found a similar rhythm and they brought each other over the edge quickly. They kissed for a while longer and then they washed each other. They got out and Olivia slipped into a light blue flowered dress and a pair of flats. She blow dried her hair and did her make up. She walked out into the living room to see Brian and Calvin both ready and waiting. "Sorry, boys, wanted to look nice."

"You look really pretty, Olivia."

Brian was awe struck, "Uhm, yeah… what he said."

Olivia smiled and giggled. "Thank you. Thank you both."

Calvin looked at Brian. "Smooth, man. Smooth."

Olivia and Calvin started walking out and he just watched, a smile on his face. That was his woman and she had an arm wrapped around the boy that they had come to love as a son. That was his family, and he couldn't have been more proud. He started walking and caught up with them, taking Olivia's other hand, and they walked out of the house, hand in hand, and hailed a cab to head to the CPS building to get everything started.

They walked into the CPS building, where a social worker Olivia knew from work approached them. "Detective Benson? Is everything okay? I heard about what happened, I wasn't expecting to see you in here during your leave."

Olivia smiled. "Everything's fine. We just wanted to talk about Calvin here. He was almost put in foster care last night, his mom got picked up again last night, his dad is in jail too and he doesn't have any other family that can take him." She saw the social worker nod and she took a deep breath. "Brian and I want to adopt him."

"Oh, Olivia, that's… that's going to be hard to do. His parents would have to sign over their rights."

Olivia nodded and pulled the social worker aside. "Look, that little boy has been tossed aside his entire life. His mother is a hopeless drug addict. She only stays clean for a few weeks, and she's out on the street using again. His father was never in the picture, and he's now in jail for murder. His grandmother died, his grandfather is paralyzed and in a nursing home. With that kind of history a judge can revoke custody."

"You find a lawyer who is willing to represent Calvin, and a judge to do that, we can get the process rolling."

She nodded. "Can we please just get the paperwork so we can get started; make this as fast as possible?"

She took a deep breath and nodded. "Yeah." She went to the filing cabinet and grabbed a folder out of it. "Just fill that all out, get a judge to revoke the custody rights of the parents and we'll start the adoption process."

Olivia took the folder and she smiled. "Thanks. I owe you one." She turned and walked towards Brian and Calvin and she smiled. "Some paperwork, a few phone calls, a little bit of time, and it'll be settled." She smiled and kissed the top of Calvin's head. She looked up at Brian with a smile. "I know it's not Sunday, but how about we go watch those rollerbladers in the park." She winked.

He smiled and took her hand. "I'd rather check out that art museum."

Calvin looked at the two of them, confused. "Do you guys need a room or…?"

Olivia giggled and pulled Calvin into a hug. She felt Brian's arms around both of them and she closed her eyes and smiled. "I love you. Both of you."

Brian kissed Calvin's head and then Olivia's lips. They didn't realize that the social worker was watching this. It brought a smile to her face. She wished she could find families like Olivia and Brian for all the Calvin's out there. She just knew that this would be an amazing family.

Olivia, Calvin, and Brian walked through the park, enjoying the fresh air and people watching. They were having family time and they were just enjoying each other's company. Brian sat between Olivia and Calvin on a bench and Olivia rested her head on his shoulder. He put his arm around her and she closed her eyes, feeling the sun on her face, feeling the breeze hitting her face. She let out a contented sigh. "This is perfect, guys."

Brian kissed her head and smiled. "All of our Sundays are going to be like this, Pancakes."

Calvin looked up at them. "This is nice. I think the last time I remember really doing anything as a family was when I was with you, Olivia." He saw her smile. "I… Can I call you guys Mom and Dad?"

Olivia lifted her head off Brian's shoulder, her heart fluttered. She remembered Elliot asking her how long she was going to be playing mom, but she pushed the thought out of her head and reached across Brian, and took Calvin's hand. "Sweetie, you can call us whatever you want." She touched his cheek gently and saw him smile. She checked the time. "I should make those phone calls." She gently kissed Brian's lips and then kissed Calvin's cheek, getting up and walking around to call lawyers and judges, determined to make this happen as soon as humanly possible.

After about fifteen minutes she came back and sat down, a smile on her face. "Luckily, Trevor Langan owed me a favor, and Judge Donnelly said she would gladly listen to our case. She remembers Vivian, so with any luck, between the two of us and Calvin, we'll legally be a family by the end of the week." She said with a smile. She got hugs from both men and she smiled. "What do you say we head back and fill out this paperwork, I'll whip us up some munchies and we can spend the rest of the day watching movies and pigging out?"

Calvin's face lit up. "You mean stuff other than healthy food."

Olivia giggled and she nodded. "I'll make a ton of junk food and we can just all get sugar highs."

"Oh, COOL!" Calvin hugged her tight. "Thanks, Mom."

Olivia's breath hitched and her eyes filled with tears, holding him tight. "You're welcome, sweetie." She kissed his cheek and smiled. She pulled away gently and wiped her eyes.

"You okay?"

She smiled and nodded, tears still falling from her eyes. "You don't know how long I've waited to hear someone call me 'Mom'. And to hear it from a kid as great as you…" She wiped her eyes and shook her head. "There is nothing better than that."

Calvin hugged her again and spoke softly. "I love you."

Olivia gently rubbed his back. "I love you, too, Calvin."

Brian smiled. "And I love both of you!" He kissed Calvin's head and placed a chaste kiss on Olivia's lips, pulling them both into a hug.

The next few days were filled with a lot of appointments, especially for Olivia. On top of all the appointments with various and sundry people to get the matter of the adoption settled, but she had her counseling appointments and physical therapy appointments, too. But luckily the adoption was settled quickly and by the end of the week, sure enough, the adoption papers were signed and the adoption was final. They left the courthouse and went out for dinner, and spent the rest of the night just hanging out as a family.

It was time for Calvin to head to bed and Olivia walked him into his room. "We're gonna have to decorate this for you." She smiled and got him under the covers, sitting on the bed next to him. "Calvin, I am so proud to call you my son… officially."

He smiled. "I'm lucky to have the best mom in the world." He hugged her and she smiled, hugging him back tightly.

"Alright, bed time, you have school tomorrow. And yes, you HAVE to go." She gently rubbed his back and smiled. "Good night, Calvin. I love you."

Calvin smiled, drifting off to sleep as she rubbed his back. "Love you, too. Night, Mom."

She got up and shut off his light, and walked back into the living room and sat next to Brian on the couch, snuggling into him. "Today was amazing."

He looked down at her and kissed her gently. She kissed him back, smiling against his lips. He broke the kiss. "Well, Mama, this daddy wants to carry you in the bedroom and kiss you all night long."

She smiled and kissed him again. "Hmmm. I think that's doable… Daddy." She kissed his nose and smirked, feeling him picking her up. She giggled and wrapped her arms around him, gently kicking her feet. He laid her down on the bed and she smiled up at him. She bit her bottom lip and ran her hands over his shoulders and his chest, pulling him into a kiss. The kiss was soft and slow. It was loving, tender, and perfect.

Brian smiled and kissed her back, keeping the kiss soft and slow. This kiss wasn't about getting worked up, this wasn't about who was going to rip each other's clothes off first. This kiss was about love, and that's all. He rolled off of her, so they were lying on their sides. He broke the kiss and smiled, resting their foreheads together. "Liv, I don't know when the last time I told you how beautiful you are. Not pretty, or sexy, or hot… Beautiful. Ever since Calvin's been with us, you've gotten even more beautiful than you were before, and I didn't think it was possible. But for the past week you've been absolutely glowing." He gently caressed her face.

She smiled and looked into his eyes. "You know, something about you has changed since Calvin's been here too. Good change… I guess I just never got to see this side of you before, the dad." She shook her head. "I love it. And I love that we're a family, and that we have a kid. Especially that we have Calvin." She snuggled up to him and felt him run his fingers through her hair and she let out a contented sigh. "I love you, Bry."

He smiled and kissed her forehead, gently rubbing her back. "I love you, too, Liv."

A/N: Thanks for reading! Please review here or on Twitter SVUConnoisseur! As a side note, I know the adoption was fast, I took a certain artistic liberty with it, as I also couldn't remember EXACTLY how adoptions go down, as I haven't dealt with DCP&P (Formerly DYFS, here in NJ, or CPS in NY) in years in terms of adoption. :) Next up, a bit of a backslide for Olivia, and some more family time!
