''Okay Liv close your eyes'' Elliot said before he walks to the other side of the car.
'' Yes , Yes I already colsed them'' she giggled.
'' Okay, give me your hand then we can go'' Olivia gives her hand while she had her other hand over her eyes. They walked together to the surprise.
Okay Liv, you can open your eyes now'' He said with a huge smile on his face.
'' Oh El, I like this, I always wanted to go here, but it's so expensive El'' Olivia looked at him with a concern.
'' Don't worry about it, let's enjoy it'. They walked into the restaurant together. Elliot was the first and after that Olivia followed him to the reservation desk. There was a young girl with big brown eyes, chocolate brown hair and a tanned skin.
''I had a reservation on the name Stabler'' Elliot said when he was at the desk. Olivia froze when she saw the girl behind the desk.
'She is a look alike of me when I was younger, Is she real, really my little girl'' Those thougts went through her head.
''Liv is everything okay'' Elliot asked her with a concern in his voice. She nodded and stared at the girl. The girl looked at Olivia
''Mrs did we ever met before'' She aksed with a questioning face. Olivia didn't know what to say. Tears filled her eyes.
'' I don't know what to say. I'm sorry'' Olivia turned around and ran outside of the restaurant.
'' Sorry, I will be right back'' Elliot said to the girl and ran after Olivia.
"Liv" he called, but he got no response.
"Olivia where are you"He called now loudly.
"I'm her" she whispered. Elliot looked around and saw her on a chair. He walked to her and sit next to her. He saw tears in her eyes and they rolled over her cheek. He put his hand on her shoulder
"What's wrong Liv"
"Sorry El, this had to be a nice suprise, but I act like this sorry El"she said sadly.
"It's okay Liv, tell my what's wrong. Why do you act like this"
"El, that ... she... that girl, didn't you saw it, didn't you saw her before"
"No Liv, I didn't, Why what is it. Does it has something to do with that little girl?"
"She is... she look like me when I was younger" there were the tears again.
"What do you mean. Is she related to you Liv"
"Yes El, I think that- I know that she is my daugther" Elliot looked at her with his big blue crystal eyes. For a few moments he doesn't know what to say to her.
"You already had a child Liv, why didn't you told me" he looked suprised
"Sorry El, I don't wanne talk about it" when she tried to continue the conversation she saw the girl walked to Elliot and her.
"Sir do you still want the table"she asked him while she was looking at Olivia. She notice that she has red eyes and tears on her cheek.
"Is everthing okay Mrs."she looked at her from the bottom to the head. Olivia nodded and grabbed Elliots hand.
"Are you sure, is there something wrong with the baby?" she asked concernly.
"Yes everything is okay with the two in here"and she put her hand on her big belly.
"Okay thats good" smiled the girl. The girl walked to the restaurant but she was stopped by Olivia's question.
"Sorry, I know you are bissy, but can I asked you something.
"Yes of course" she smiled at Olivia.
"Can you tell me your name please" Olivia was now looking into the girl's eyes, the same eyes she saw when she looked at the herself in the mirror.
"My name is Macylin, Macylin Benson"
"Your last name is Benson?"Elliot asked.
"Yes that's right. My biological mother gave me her name before when she gave me up for adoption" the girl said and looked at Olivia again. Olivia knew it now for sure, Macylin was the name she gave to daughter when she was born. 'Macylin Olivia Benson' there she was her little princess.
"Mr. and Mrs. Stabler, I would liketo bring you to your table"she said and turned around.
Elliot looked at Olivia "Is it really her"
"Yes El,that's my little girl" a tear rolled down her cheek. She walked to the girl and laid a hand on her shoulder.
"Sorry Macylin but, um- I'm not his wife. My name isn't Stabler. I'm Olivia... "she didn't know if she should tell her last name.
"I'm Sorry, Nice to meet you Olivia... "
Olivia continued "Benson, My name is Olivia Benson" Macylin's eyes looked deep into Olivia's eyes. Big brown eyes meet each other.
"No , No it can't be - you can't be - my full name is ..."
"Macylin Olivia Benson, I know, I gave you that name when you was born"
"You are my biological mother" Macylin said with angry voice.
"Yes I'm Macylin" and she walked closer to the girl.
"I'm so sorry hun, sweety please, I'm so sorry" she said and put her arms around Macylin.
"Sorry because..." she pushed Olivia away.
'' Because you didn't want me, because you didn't love me, because you couldn't look at me, or is it something else that you didn't want me" Macylin was tried to fight the tears that filled her eyes, It didn't work, tears were rolling down her cheeks. She was looking at Olivia how had also tears in her eyes.
"Sixteen years ago you didn't want me so why should you want me now"
"Should we sit down" Olivia asked while she was looking at her belly.
"Of course we can sit down" she said with with sarcasm.
"I should go to or table Liv, if you need me, I'm right inside" Elliot said and kissed her forehead. Olivia sat down on the chair and pulled a chair infromt of Macylin. For a few moments ther was a akweard silence between them. Olivia started but didn't know what to say.
"I understand that you are angry ,but it isn't the way you think it is" she started.
"I was twenty-five when I found out that I was pregnant with you" she wipped a tear of her face.
"Go on why didn't you want me"Macylin said while she was looking at the big belly.
"I want you, I really want you more than you know but your father..."
''Yes what's about my father"she asked with curiosity, hope for something positive.
"Your father and I were three years together. In the three years that I spend time with him I went to the ER 120 times. When they asked me what was happened I always said that I felt or I bumped to a door, But I didn't told them the real story of the bruisses and the black eyes" from the memory she got chills.
"You mean that - He hit you didn't he"Macylin asked.
"Not only that, he hit me and kick me al the time. When the food wasn't warm enough or when I was late" Olivia looked at her belly. " I had always want you Macylin" there was a silence between them.
" When I told him I was pregnant I hoped that the abuse would stop, but it didn't. I was 28 weeks pregnant when we had a big fight about your name. I wanted to call you Macylin but he wanted Jane-Marie, I said that I didn't liked the name and he pushed me down the stairs" Olivia swallowd before she continued.
"He almost killed us both. I was unconsious when the neigbor found me. He left without doing anything. I regained consciousness in the hospital. Miraculously you had nothing"
"I had nothing did you? " Interrupted Macylin.
"Yes, I hada concussion, broken ribs an both my legs were broken. Thats when I told them the true. They already known my by my first name. Then twelve weeks I had left with the pregnancy, I needed to stay in the hospital" There was a heavy breaht from Macylin.
"The day you were born 'august 23th 1998' He took you home before the doctor gave him permission. That's when I decided to gave you up for adoption. I knew that if you stayed with me, that he was going to hurt you to. I couldn't allow that" Tears Olivia had hold in were now rolling down her cheek. Macylin put her arms around Olivia and hugged her.
"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't react like that"
"You had reasons to act like that,but Ireally loved you more than you ever know, It broke my heart when I gave you up for adoption. It was the best thing I could do for you to protect you"
"Sorry, If I had known why... I had been looking for you since I was six. My adoptive parents where good for me but there was something missing in my life" Macylin said shyly.
"I'm happy that you had good parents, It was better than that you had stayed with us"
"What do you mean with us" Macylin was looking questioning at Olivia.
"You stayed with him after he hits you and giving you black eyes" Olivia looked down.
"Olivia please look at me" Macylin commanded.
"Yeah that's right I stayed with him"she whispered.
"Why , why did you stayed with him after al he did to you, He almost killed us" She looked at Olivia and saw that she was looking down again.
"You don't have to be ashamed Olivia"Macylin put a hand on her shoulder.
"I know but..." that's when the most beautiful brown eyes contact with het on brown eyes.
"But I was in love, He hit me because I didn't listen, I thouth back than. I know now that he was the problem and not me, but when youwere born I didn't thought about that"Olivia took a deep breath.
"When He found out that I gave you up for adoption, he agreed with it, I thought"
"Why did you thought that?" Macylin asked.
"Because he didn't got mad and he didn't hurt me anymore. The weeks past by and I never felt so save with him around me"
"So you are still together and this babies are his" Macylin looked at the belly from Olivia.
"No, No we aren't together since one day I will never forget"Olivia started to cry.
"Which day "and she wipped a tear from Olivia's face with her thumb
"The day I nearly bled to death. Four weeks after you were born. I did thelaundry, He was mad because dinner wasn't on the table. So I went to the kitchen to get the food, I felt something weird, a stabbing pain in my chest"Olivia would like to continue but didn't know what to say next.
"So he stabbed you" Now tears filled Macylin's eyes.
"Yes he stabbed me and almost killed me, but the neigbor found me before I was bled to death"
"The same neigbor who found you when you were pregnant with me" Macylin stared with a questioning look at Olivia.
"Yes she saved you life and my twice" There was a silence between tham.
"Was that the moment" Macylin asked as first after a few moments of silence.
"Yes when I regained consiousness I saw two detectives standing beside my bed and I told them everthing and now he is locked up in prison for the rest of his life" I hope he would never see her she thought. Olivia looked at Macylin
"Can you forgive my, I did it for you, to protect you"
"I know now that yougave me up for adoption because you was scaredthat he would hit me, you did it because you wanne protect me. Of course I can forgive you Mom"Olivia didn't beliefe what she heared, she said 'mom' . She closed her eyes and held her tightly "I never let you go ever again sweetheart" she whispered in her ear.
After a few moments Macylin broke the hug "Should we go , I think Mr. Stabler wanne know why it took so long" Olivia nodded and grabbed Macylin's hand. They walked together into the high tea restaurant.
