Chapter Seven

Olivia is sitting at her desk, filling at some paperwork. At the moment her office phone decides to ring, "Special Victims Unit, Detective Benson here." Olivia says into the mouthpiece. She gathers a notepad ready to take notes or an address.

"Hey, Babe," Olivia hears Alex say, "I was just calling to see if you are at the office? I am on my way up." Alex says to her wife. Olivia can hear some urgency in Alex's voice and fears the worse. Did Alex get attacked from work, one bad thing about Alex working in a different agency is that she did not hear things. Unfortanly Alex hangs up before Olivia can press for information.

Olivia turns to see Alex coming through the doors, she is on her before Alex can get a word out. "Are you alright? Did something happen?" Olivia says checking Alex over. Olivia is unaware or she does not care that she is drawing attention from other officers. Her only concern is for Alex.

"No, no, I am okay everything is okay. We just have to go." Alex says going over and getting Olivia's bag out of Olivia's drawer.

"Lex, I cannot leave without explanation," Olivia says reaching for her bag.

Fin can see that Alex is stressed about something, and decides to step-up. "Go, Liv. I will tell the Cap something came up. Don't' worry about it. Go, apparently, Alex is freaking out about something, she needs you more then we do here."

"Thanks, Fin, I will buy you coffee for a month," Alex says grabbing Olivia's hand and heading out. Before Olivia can ask, Alex decides to tell her what is happening, when they get to the elevator and sees that it is empty, Alex decides to unload, "Mrs. King called, there is a baby boy ready to be adopted. We are going to meet our son."

"Oh my god, Tell me you are not joking, please do not be lying to me," Olivia says bringing her hand up to her mouth, she was in shock.

"Babe, I will never do that to you. We are officially mothers," Alex says pulling Olivia into a hug. Olivia is crying right now, her dreams of becoming a mother are coming true. She has a baby boy, that they are heading to meet.

"How old is he, what is his name? Is he okay?" Olivia has a million questions, but these are the one that decides to come out first.

"I don't know, Mrs. King only called saying that there is a baby in New Jersey that is available for adoption. We need to meet her up at the hospital. She has already text me the address, to the hospital. That is all she gave me," Alex says.

Two almost three hours later the newly mothers arrive at the hospital and find Mrs. King in the lobby talking to women and a little girl, of Hispanic heritage who appears to be ten. Mrs. King sees the women arrive through the doors, and tells the woman something, the woman and the young girl walk off, the girl clearly upset. "Alex, Olivia hi. I see that you got my message."

"Yeah, is everything all right, You didn't exactly give us much information. How is he?" Alex says taking control of the situation.

"He was just born today, regrettably under tragic outcome, his birth mother was beaten by her ex-boyfriend. Tragically the mother could not be saved," Mrs. King says. Alex's hand is brought to her mouth, and tear threatens to spill. Olivia sadly hears this kind of information a lot, so she is a little more composed. "He is healthy, he was just about full-term, a week or two shy of delivery."

"The bastard that did this?" Alex asks, "Is he the father?"

"No, he is not the father, the father is not in the picture, and he signed his rights away when Katherine found out she was pregnant. Apparently, he is married. The guy who did this is in police custody,"

"Was that little girl related to the case?" Olivia asks, she needs to know the details, the detective in her.

"Umm, yes, she is Katherine's oldest. She is ten-years-old." Mrs. Kings says.

"What is going to happen to her?" Alex asks.

"She is going to head to a group home until we can find a home for her." Mrs. King says. "So would you like to meet your son?" She turns to start to head down the hallway.

Alex and Olivia look at each other. Neither of them could sit well with this. "Mrs. King, we want to meet our daughter as well," Olivia says. Mrs. King turns with a confused look. "We can't separate them, especially after so much that happens to the little girl, we want to adopt the little girl as well.

"Oh wow, I assumed that you two being newlyweds, you would want a newborn. Okay, I will need to fill out some more paperwork. Her name is Chelsea, I have yet to have an interaction with her. So I don't know much about her." Mrs. King was relieved that these two women are willing to adopt both of these children. "Okay, just wait here, and I will get Chelsea, then we will get your baby boy.

A few moments go by, and Mrs. King returns with the little girl, "Hi sweetie, my name is Olivia and this is my wife Alex." Olivia says squatting down to be at the same level as the little girl. "I hear your name is Chelsea, that is a pretty name."

"Hi, are you going to take my brother away," Chelsea says.

"You are also coming with, You are always going to be with your brother. We won't separate you." Alex says standing behind Olivia. The little girl smiled at this and then moved into Olivia's arms. Olivia wrapped her arms around the little girl and gave her a hug. Alex smiled at the scene.

"Can I name my brother. Mommy wanted to name him Brooklyn." Chelsea says to the woman.

"Chelsea Cabot-Benson and Brooklyn Cabot-Benson, I like them, "Alex says looking at Olivia.

Olivia looks up at Alex, "I like it too." Olivia smiles at the little girl, who just stays in Olivia's arms. The three girls go off to meet Brooklyn for the first time. He is the gorgeous baby any of the women see, but they might be biased. He is also of Hispanic heritage as well.
