POV of Olivia Benson-Cassidy

It's been almost 5 ½ years since Susan came home to me. Brian and I have been married for 4 of them. I admit I was skeptical at first about accepting Brian's marriage proposal but I now realize that Susan has brought us closer to each other. She is now at Harvard where she is studying Pre-Law. She made that choice after Haden got convicted for raping her twice. I'm so proud of her. Brian is too. With Amanda, Alex, Casey and Melinda's help, Susan planned my wedding. She has grown so much in 5 ½ years. I don't think it would've been possible without Kathleen. After Susan learned about her grandmother, she became more open to me. We share lengthy emails every day. She loves law school. I tell her she's so strong. Every time Brian, Noah and I go to visit her at school, I can see how much she has grown and blossomed. She has pictures of everyone in her dorm room but most of them are of me and her. It makes me want to cry at the way Susan's changed. Dr. Parker says it's normal for me to feel proud. Brian now understands why I kept Susan a secret. I hope Susan will make not only a great lawyer but also a wonderful mother. She's so close to Noah. He's like her son. They love to play together when she's home on break.
