Chapter 16
POV of Amanda Rollins-Amaro
After Susan told Nick to surprise me at the precinct one day, I ended up not only becoming Amanda Rollins-Amaro and finally making peace with my sister Kim but I am now the mother of a beautiful little girl, Stephanie Grace Rollins-Amaro. It is all because Susan Victoria Benson-Cassidy came into the lives of the SVU squad. I actually attend church now with Nick and Stephanie. I thank God every day and night for Susan. If David Haden had not raped her, Olivia might have never found her daughter that I have grown to love so much. Brian is so happy. He and Liv are now the parents of three children: Susan, Noah, and Alyssa. When Liv gave birth to Alyssa Serena Benson-Cassidy 2 years ago, Susan had taken a leave of absence from her law school classes for 2 ½ months just to help Liv with little Alyssa. Susan has become a great lawyer. I hope her turn at being a mother comes soon. She deserves it for helping us all through the hardest times of our lives. Susan made me call Kim and tell her that I had been raped because I had wanted to keep Kim out of jail. When Kim heard that, she not only promised to clean up her act but she's also married and expecting a little boy. I almost died of shock when I heard that. When I told Susan that the next time I went with Liv, Brian, and Noah to visit her at Harvard where she is studying Pre-Law, she just smiled.
"I told you she would straighten up, Aunt Amanda. Now you'll have a nephew."
Fin is so proud of Susan. Everyone who has met her is. Elliot promised Susan that he'd walk her down the aisle if she ever gets married. She calls him Uncle El. Kathy is Aunt Kat. Susan cannot wait to finally meet Richard, the oldest Stabler boy. He has always suspected Susan is his half-sister. He was excited when he saw a photo Elliot sent of her graduating high school. She was valedictorian all because of Alex and Casey. The whole SVU team was there when Susan got her diploma. Liv and Brian cried when they heard Susan's speech. We all did because we were all mentioned as Susan's heroes but especially Olivia Serena Benson-Cassidy and Amanda Rollins-Amaro who had taught her not to be afraid to speak up when you've been hurt the way she had been. She also said that although she is happy about her attacker being is prison after she testified in court about what he did to her and her mother, Susan forgives David Haden because she knew that it was the right thing to do.
