Chapter 17
Amanda is sitting at her desk with Olivia and Reese and they take her statement. Declan sits with Carisi and he takes his statement. While Amanda talks to Olivia and Reese about the assault, Declan talks to Carisi about the assault.
"I tried to get away from Patton. I told him that I was almost a married woman but he wanted to hurt me again." Amanda says.
"Well, he's going to get his revenge." Reese says.
"So will your father." Olivia says.
Carisi and Declan are sitting at his desk talking about Amanda's assault. They both know that Patton is a bad man who needs to be far away from Amanda and Reese. Hopefully everything will go back to normal. Carisi asks Declan about what's going to happen between him and Amanda.
"What's going to happen between you two now?" Carisi asks.
"Amanda and I are still getting married." Declan replies.
"You love her, don't you?" Carisi asks.
"Yeah, I do. I love her." Declan responds.
As Fin brings in Patton, Declan sees him and he is furious. He wants to hurt him just like Patton hurt Amanda. Fin gets ready to walk Patton into integration.
"You son of a bitch." Declan says, angrily.
Declan lunges for him and the detectives have to pull them apart.
"Take it easy, lieutenant." Carisi says.
"Relax, Murphy. We'll teach him a lesson." Fin says.
"You attacked Amanda! I know what you did to her in my apartment and in my bed!" Declan yells.
Fin takes Patton into integration where he meets with his lawyer. Carisi and Fin are in the integration room integrating Patton for what they did to their friend. The lawyer asks why is Patton here.
"We have your client on video trying to rape Amanda Rollins." Fin says.
"It was consensual." Patton says.
"She said no and there's a ring on her finger." Carisi says.
Fin and Carisi get rough with Patton. They don't like him because of what he did to Amanda.
"And you slapped her across the face in order to keep quiet about the attack." Fin says.
Patton is just sitting there in the chair. He doesn't know what to think or say. He doesn't want to be in integration.
"She was trying to get me in trouble. Murphy will let me take her back to Atlanta." Patton asks.
"No he won't." Fin says.
"You're not taking Reese either, Patton. I love her." Carisi says.
"You think you can attack my client?" the lawyer asks.
"You're lucky we didn't keep them together." Carisi replies.
The lawyer leaves the integration room. Carisi and Fin start ganging up on Patton. They hope to get justice for Amanda.
"Her father knows that you attacked his daughter." Fin says.
"He's not too happy about that." Carisi says.
Patton is booked and processed in the New York jail. He then is taken to a jail and he sits there. An hour later, his wife posts bail and they leave New York and they go home to Atlanta. The SVU teams tells Patton to never return to New York. He is still on the sex registry list. He got probation and he is not allowed to leave Atlanta.
"It's over, Amanda. He can't hurt you anymore." Tony says.
"Good. We have a wedding to plan." Christina says.
"I love you." Declan says.
"I love you." Amanda says.
Declan and Amanda share a kiss. They walk out of SVU holding hands. Tony and Christina walk out of SVU with them. They go up to Amanda and Declan's apartment and they play with baby Jesse.
"We're getting married." Amanda says.
"It's going to be a beautiful wedding." Declan says.
"My little Mandy, I can't wait to walk you down the aisle." Tony says.
"You're going to have a beautiful dress for the wedding." Christina says.
Amanda is happy that she will marry Declan in the summer. Her father and stepmother are happy that she will be getting married. They want to plan a wedding for them. It will be a surprise that Amanda and Declan can't know until the day of the wedding.
"Are you still going to walk me down the aisle, Daddy?" Amanda asks.
"Of course I am, Amanda. I'm your father." Tony says.
"I bet your dress will be beautiful just like you." Declan says.
Amanda leans in to kiss Declan. They say I love you to one another. They make the perfect couple and now they're getting married. Declan, Amanda, Tony, Christina, Jesse and Frannie sit in the family room eating Chinese food at 7 PM and they are watching 27 Dresses. They decide to get ideas for the wedding that will be in the summer. Patton got his revenge and now Amanda doesn't have to worry about him coming back to New York. She is free from him and now she can start planning her wedding without Patton trying to ruin it.
