Ok, so I'm going out of town for a while, and I don't know if I'm going to be allowed to get online, so I felt as if I should upload something new and leave you on a good note.

I'm just going to warn you now, it is a VERY short chapter, but it is needed.

Yay! you finally get to learn what the heck Olivia's been up to, although I'm pretty sure you've all figured it out by now, so it's probably not that big of a surprise...

oh well, on to the story.

Olivia walked out of the courthouse, and was relieved to see Avery on the front steps, sitting, crying to herself. Without a word, she came up behind the girl and wrapped her arms around her, pulling her into a tight hug. Avery, who didn't need to turn around to know it was Olivia, only sighed. "Olivia?" she asked quietly, afraid to talk, in fear that she would start to cry again. "Why are you doing all this for me?"

Olivia sat next to Avery on the steps and wiped her face with her hands. "Because Avery, you are a very special girl. Your mother didn't deserve a daughter like you. She didn't know what an amazing voice you have, how smart you are, nor does she understand how truely talented you are."

"And she never will." Aver let her head fall on Olivia's chest, as Olivia wrapped her arms around her, comforting the girl. "What's going to happen to me now?"

Olivia ran her hand down Avery's head, brushing a piece of hair out of her face and behind her ear. "Avery, I have something to tell you." Avery pulled away from Olivia. The way she said that, scared her, and she didn't know if she could take anymore bad news. Olivia knew Avery was scared, so she placed her hand on top of her leg, trying to assure her she only wanted to share good news with her. "The day you ran out of the courthouse, I had a social worker come to my apartment. It took three hours of intense cleaning, and another two of intense questioning and paperwork, but she allowed me to take you in, and be your caretaker."

Avery looked up and smiled, unsure of what else to do. "What-" she began, but Olivia cut her off.

"Wait, there's something else I have to say first." Avery nodded and closed her mouth, allowing Olivia to finish. "I knew...I knew you were different, and I wouldn't be able to just forget about you once the case was done, and even if I took you in as a foster kid, it would only be until you turned eighteen. I had Alex help me, and with her, I met up with Judge Donnelly. Elliot helped me, and..." she looked down at Avery, as a few tears fell from her eyes.

At this point Avery was utterly confused. A few seconds ago she was happy that Olivia had been allowed to take her in until school was done, but now it seemed like something had gone wrong. "Olivia? What are you talking about?"

Olivia quickly wiped her eyes with her palm and gave a nervous laugh. "I'm sorry. I don't know why I'm crying." She gave another small laugh, as she grabbed the teen's hand. "Avery," she began, looking her in the eyes, the eyes that had such a strong resemblance to her own, it scared her. "How would you like to be a Benson?"

The End!...

haha just kidding...(don't kill me)

(again, sorry it was so short, but it had a key detail you all needed to know)

but it is very close to the end, only one chapter left...maybe

my friend and I were bored in school and came up with two possible stories that could come after this one, but I'll only put them up, if you all want them :) and you know what that means right? I gotta get some reviews telling me you want them, if not, it'll end at the next chapter

Anyway,

A Benson? what exactly does that mean? I know! do you? Do you want to find out?

What does everyone else have to say about his?

How the heck is Olivia going to get away with that?

haha, leave me stuff to read when I come back and review review review...please
