A/N: This idea came to me after watching the Season Premiere of SVU but focuses on the ending with Noah. ****Warning**** mentions child sexual abuse. I don't own any of the characters except my own.

Remaining Silent

Olivia hated that she had spent so much time away from her family. After marrying Olivia 3 years ago, Hank had transferred to the NYPD and was working with Ed Tucker in Hostage Negotiation. Much to her surprise, they got along and worked well together. They adopted their daughter, Megan, who was now 4. Olivia knew she needed to be spending time with the kids but they seemed to understand. She had come home after an aggravating case and Hank was in the living room with the TV on. She went over to him and kissed him.

"Hey, Honey."

"Hey, Babe. Everything go ok?"

"I really don't want to talk about it right now."

"Ok."

Olivia saw Noah.

"Hey, Sweetie. I am so sorry I missed your game. It's time for bed, ok?"

Noah went over to her and pushed her.

"No!"

"Hey! You do not do that! Upstairs. Now! Don't you dare slam that door! I don't want you to wake your sister up."

Noah stomped up the stairs, went into his room and slammed the door. Olivia rolled her eyes and went upstairs. She looked in on Megan, who was sound asleep. She kissed Megan's forehead and then she went into Noah's room. He was standing with his arms folded in front of his chest. She pulled the covers down.

"In bed now!"

Noah glared at her and got into bed.

"I love you."

She got no response out of him.

"Hey, I love you and I am sorry I missed your game."

Noah turned over, so he was facing away from her. She ran her fingers through his curls, kissed his cheek and left. She went back downstairs.

"Is he really that pissed at me?"

"He hasn't said much since I've been home either and I was at his game."

"Thanks for rubbing it in."

"I didn't mean it that way."

"I know you didn't. Has Lucy said anything about him acting up at all?"

"Nope."

"He wouldn't even look at me when I tucked him in."

"Come here."

Olivia sat on the sofa and Hank wrapped his arms around her.

"Can we snuggle upstairs in the bedroom?"

"Yeah, sure."

They got up off the sofa and made sure everything was locked up and the lights were turned off before heading up to the bedroom. They looked in on both kids and both of them seemed to be asleep. They both got ready for bed and got into bed. All Olivia wanted was for Hank to hold her. He turned the light off and wrapped his arms around her again. They kissed each other and Olivia fell asleep in Hank's arms. Noah had pretended to be asleep but every time he shut his eyes, he got scared. He figured it would go away but it wouldn't.

The next morning, Hank and Olivia got up and got ready for work. Hank went to make sure Noah was up and noticed that his bed was wet.

"Take your sheets off your bed and put them in your hamper before you leave, ok?"

"Ok."

Hank went into the bedroom.

"Noah wet his bed."

"He hasn't done that in a long time."

"This is the first I've noticed it."

"We'll talk about it when I get home tonight."

"Ok."

Hank went to make the coffee and something for breakfast, while Olivia finished getting ready. Megan woke up and had come into the bedroom.

"Hi Mommy."

"Hey, Pumpkin."

"Potty."

"Ok."

Olivia took Megan into the bathroom and then they went downstairs.

"Hi Daddy."

"Hi Princess."

"Hi Noah."

"Hi Megan."

Noah looked at Olivia and gave her a hug.

"I'm sorry."

"It's ok."

Hank gave Olivia her breakfast and coffee and after she ate, she went back upstairs to finish getting ready. As she was on her way back down, Lucy came in.

"Morning, Liv."

"Morning. Can we talk for a minute?"

"Of course. Did I do something wrong?"

"Not at all."

They went into the office and shut the door.

"Have you noticed anything unusual about Noah lately?"

"Other than the fact that he's been pretty quiet lately, no."

"He seemed upset with me for missing his game because when I told him it was time for bed last night, he pushed me and he's never done that before. Hank hasn't noticed anything out of the ordinary either other than he wet his bed last night. He hasn't done that in a long time."

"Right. I'll keep an eye out and let you know."

"Thanks. I appreciate that. Megan is up but she isn't dressed yet."

"Ok."

They walked out of the office and Hank was heading up to get ready.

"Someone is all sticky, so now she needs a bath."

"I got it."

"Thanks."

"Sure."

"NOAH, YOU ABOUT READY?"

"YES."

Noah came out of the kitchen and went up to brush his teeth. He grabbed his backpack, while Olivia went to get his lunch. She grabbed another coffee to go and then she kissed Megan and Hank. She took Noah to school and as he went to his classroom, Olivia stopped by to talk to the Principal.

"Good morning, Lieutenant."

"Good morning. Do you have a minute?"

"Of course."

"Can we get his teacher in here too, please?"

"Certainly."

The Principal sent for Noah's teacher and then she came in.

"Lieutenant Voight."

"I'll be brief. Have either of you noticed anything suspicious with Noah's behavior lately?"

"Now that you mention it, he has been keeping to himself but then again, so are some of the other boys."

The teacher started naming some of the boys.

"They're all on the same baseball team as Noah."

Then some of the mothers of the other boys on Noah's team came in.

"Have any of you noticed any suspicious behavior with your boys lately?"

"That's what we're here for. They've been pretty quiet and reserved lately."

"Would you ladies be able to come to the Precinct with me?"

"Is Noah acting like this too?"

"I missed his last game but Hank was there. I came home just before his bedtime last night. I told him it was time to go to bed. He pushed me and said no. I tucked him in but he wouldn't even speak to me. He was better this morning. Hank said when he got Noah up this morning, his bed was wet. He hasn't done that in a while."

"I noticed that with my son too."

"Me too."

"So did I."

"I have a bad feeling about this."

"You don't think the coach is doing something to them, do you?"

"That's exactly what I think."

"How would we know?"

"Sexually abused children hide things under their beds, balled up in the drawers, in the back of the closet or sometimes under the mattress."

"We'll look and then we'll meet you."

"Great. If I find out that bastard has been touching my son or any of your boys, there will be hell to pay and I'm not talking from me. My husband does not tolerate that type of behavior."

Olivia left and headed home, while everyone else did the same thing. By the time Olivia arrived at home, Lucy had already bathed Megan and took her to Preschool, so there was no one there but her. She went into Noah's room and started looking for clues. She found his underwear balled up in a drawer and found his pants in the back of the closet. She was on the verge of breaking down. She could not believe that someone would do that to her son. She drove to Hank's Precinct, got out of her SUV and went in. She went to Hostage Negotiation.

"Hey, Lieutenant."

"Hey. Where's Hank?"

"In Captain Tucker's office."

Olivia went to Ed's office and knocked on the doorframe.

"Hey, Olivia. Come on in."

"Thanks."

"What happened at school?"

Olivia sat down, started crying and then Hank wrapped his arms around her.

"Some of the mothers of the boys on Noah's baseball team came in and said they have been noticing things with their boys too. Hank, I think that son of a bitch coach is molesting our son. After I left school, I went home and found his underwear balled up in the drawer and his pants in the back of the closet. I can't handle this. This is my son."

"Shit! Why didn't we see this?"

"I have no idea."

"Liv, I realize this is what you deal with all the time but you need to let Tutuola take the lead on this case. You are too emotionally involved this time around."

"I know. The other mothers are meeting me at the Precinct. Hank, I want you there."

"Yeah, I'll be there."

"If I can do anything to help out, let me know, ok?"

"Yeah. Thanks, Ed."

"No problem. We should be fine. Stay with her."

"Ok."

Hank and Olivia left and headed to the 16th. Fin, Amanda and Sonny were at their desks when they got there.

"Guys, we have a case."

"What's the case?"

Olivia told them everything she knew.

"Oh, hell no! You are not telling me that some dumb ass coach is molesting my favorite 6-year old."

"That's exactly what I am telling you and you are going to have to take the lead on it. I am too emotionally involved with this."

"Got it, Liv."

Olivia got a call from the school and then she sent Hank to go get him. He went to get him and then he brought him back to the Precinct. They came in and Olivia nearly broke down again.

"Sweetie, we need to talk."

"I know. Daddy already talked to me."

"Was it your coach that did this?"

"He said if I told, I'd get into trouble."

"Come in my office with me, Baby."

Olivia took Noah into her office and Hank followed.

"I've done this for a long time, so I've heard a lot of excuses over the years. When the victim is a child, the person that hurt them will always tell them they will get in trouble but they also think that child won't ever say anything. They keep getting away with it for as long as they can and more and more kids get hurt the longer this goes on. You should have come to Daddy or me when this first happened."

"I was scared."

"I know, Baby but we're on your side not matter what."

"He said the police wouldn't believe me. I said you and Daddy are the police."

"Have Daddy and I ever lied to you?"

"No."

"I want him to get a rape kit done just to be sure. You can take him and I will send Carisi with you. He can't be examined without one of us present anyway."

"Ok."

"Noah, I want you to have some testing done. I'm going to send Uncle Sonny with you and he is probably going to ask you a bunch of questions, so I want you to answer them the best you can. Daddy will be there with you."

"Ok. Yes, it was my coach and he touched me in my private area."

Hearing those words come out of Noah's mouth nearly broke Olivia's heart.

"Mommy, was I bad?"

"No, Baby, you weren't."

"Then why did this have to happen?"

"I don't know, Baby. There are some sick people in the world."

Olivia had tears running down her cheeks and so did Noah. Hank also had tears in his eyes too. Olivia hugged Noah and then they went out to the Squad Room.

"Carisi, I'm sending Noah to have a rape kit done just to be sure. I want you to go with them. I told him that you'd be asking him a bunch of questions."

"Got it, Liv."

Hank and Noah left and Carisi went with them just as the other mothers were coming in.

"We just saw Noah."

"The school called and wanted one of us to come get him. He said he was told he'd get into trouble if he told but he confirmed that it was the coach and that he touched him in his private area. I'm sending him to get a rape kit done just to be sure. Maybe we can get something."

"Should we do the same thing?"

"Probably. Sergeant Tutuola will be taking over on this case."

"That's understandable. We called our husbands to let them know."

"This entire thing just breaks my heart. Hank and I are both cops and we didn't see this coming."

"My husband is a medical professional and didn't see the signs either."

"What's his specialty?"

"Psychiatry, so he deals with stuff like this all the time."

"I just feel so useless right now."

"This guy turned out to be a real sicko."

"He sure did."

"Liv, do you want us to started looking into this guy?"

"Yeah. You might as well. His name is Michael Jensen."

"Ok."

Fin and Amanda started looking into the guy. The other moms got calls from the school, so they went to pick their boys up and brought them to the Precinct to talk to Fin and Amanda. Then they all went to get rape kits done as well. Hank took Noah home and told Lucy what was going on. She couldn't believe it. Hank went back to the Precinct.

"Anything new?"

"Nope. How could we not see this coming? What kind of cop am I?"

"Babe, quit blaming yourself."

"How can I not blame myself, Hank?"

"You don't need to yell at me."

"I'm sorry. I am just so damn frustrated right now."

"I know. I am too. He answered everything Carisi asked him. I told Lucy what was going on and she could not believe it. He seems to be relieved that everything is now out in the open."

"That's usually the case."

"Nothing came up on this guy?"

"No."

"I really want to wring his neck."

"Believe me, so do I. Our son is 6-years old, Hank and now he has to deal with the fact that he has been molested by his baseball coach for the rest of his life."

"He has you to help him through it. Megan didn't have a great start and she was molested as well. Thankfully, she probably won't remember much about it. Now, she's a happy 4-year old."

"She has you wrapped around her little finger."

The Fin came in.

"Liv, the hospital just called. They have a vic."

"Ok. I'll take care of it. Honey, go home and be with Noah."

"Ok."

Olivia kissed Hank and then she headed to the hospital, while Hank headed home. Olivia found out that the victim was a teen and she knew her attacker. Michael Jensen. After she was done talking to her victim and the rape kit was done, she headed back to the Precinct.

"Well, the vic from this case said her attacker was Michael Jensen. Apparently this guy gets some charge out of doing things to minors."

"How old was the vic?"

"She's 13. Go pick him up. Now!"

Fin and Carisi left and went. They went to the address they had and when they got there, they knocked on the door. When he didn't answer, Fin kicked the door down. The searched the place. When they went into the bedroom, he was having sex with a girl, who barely looked like she was out of her teens.

"Michael Jensen, you're under arrest."

"For what?"

"Rape and child molesting."

"Yeah, right. Go to hell!"

Fin pulled him up.

"Carisi, grab the sheets on the way out. I'm sure we can get some DNA."

"Got it, Sarge."

"Excuse me but you can't just come in here and accuse him of raping someone and molesting some kid."

"He didn't just molest some kid. He molested some of the 6-year old kids on the baseball team he coaches and he raped a 13-year old girl. One of those boys was our Boss' kid. Get dressed, Dumb Ass! How old are you anyway?"

"I'm 20 but that's none of your damn business."

They let Michael get dressed, cuffed him, read him his rights and then they headed to the Precinct after Carisi grabbed the sheets. They arrived at the Precinct and Fin took him up to SVU, while Carisi took the sheets to the Crime Lab. They took him into the Interrogation Room and went to find Olivia. Hank had come back and Erin and Ed were now there too.

"Liv, you want us to handle this?"

"Oh, yeah!"

"I'll do it."

"I know how you will handle it."

Amanda and Fin went into the Interrogation Room but he was refusing to talk until his lawyer got there, so Amanda did most of the talking and was giving him an earful for what he had done to the kids. Peter had come in shortly before Buchanan did. He of course denied everything. He was released for the time being until the rape kits came back. As they walked out, Buchanan had a smug look on his face.

"If this gets to trial, he is going to scare those poor boys."

"Noah has been here when he was here and he's already afraid of him."

"So, now what? He's released until we have sufficient evidence but then he can start doing this again."

"I already spoke with the ones in charge of the baseball teams and they said as of now, he can't come anywhere near the boys. They have zero tolerance for that. They said if he shows up, they will call the police immediately. They canceled practice for Noah's team today and possibly tomorrow, so that'll give them a few days to find a new coach."

"It really bothers me that this guy gets to go home and act like he didn't do anything."

"I know."

"How long until the results come back?"

"It depends on how busy the Lab is. I told them that the rape kit from the 13-year old girl was related to the case with the 6-year old boys, so hopefully we will get the results as quickly as possible."

"We took the sheets off the bed when we brought Jensen in, since he was banging some 20-year old, who didn't really look 20, when we got there."

"Good thinking. Hopefully we can get a positive match."

Olivia's phone rang. She noticed it was Lucy, so she picked it up.

"What's going on Lucy?"

"Noah's coach is outside pounding on the door."

"We're on our way."

"Ok. Please hurry."

Olivia hung up the phone.

"Lucy said Noah's coach is outside our house pounding on the door. I think he knows Noah said something."

"I'll call our Unit and meet you there."

"Thanks, Ed."

"No problem."

Olivia and Hank left and Hank drove home as fast as he could. Fin, Amanda and Sonny left and headed there. Ed called his people and headed there and Erin headed there too. When they arrived at Hank and Olivia's, everyone geared up. Michael had already broken a window and got in. When Hank and Olivia went in, he was holding a gun to Noah's head and Lucy was tied up. Olivia went over and untied Lucy,

"Let our son go!"

"No! He's gonna pay for snitching on me."

Hank released the safety on his gun and put it to Michael's head.

"How about I put a bullet in your head right now for what you did to my boy?"

"You sat in the Interrogation Room not even an hour ago and said you didn't do anything but then you come straight to our home and go after our son for telling the truth."

"He deserves everything he has coming to him."

"So do you. Release my son or I will put a bullet in your head. So help me."

"Screw you!"

They saw Erin in the window Michael had broken holding her rifle waiting to get a clear shot. Michael saw her and shot his gun at her but she shot her rifle simultaneously and hit him in the head. She got hit in the vest. Olivia took Noah in her arms and wouldn't let go. Hank wrapped his arms around both of them.

"Erin, thank you!"

"No problem. You ok, kiddo?"

"Yeah. Thanks."

Noah gave Erin a hug.

"Lucy, we are so sorry about all this."

"Don't worry about it. I'm just glad Noah didn't get hurt any worse."

Fin, Amanda, Carisi and Ed all came in.

Did she get him?"

"Yeah. She got him. Put a call in to Warner's office."

"On it, Liv."

Fin called the Medical Examiner's office.

"We can stay at a hotel for a few days or something until we get the place cleaned up."

"Ok."

"Liv, take a few days off. You need it."

"I will if Hank does."

"Yeah, I will too."

Peter had shown up and then they told him what had happened. Erin called her Boss and told him what had happened as well. Olivia had Fin contact the parents of the other boys and told them what happened. Hank and Olivia packed some things for themselves and the kids and went to check into a hotel for a few days until things got cleaned up at home. Both Hank and Olivia took some time off of work to spend some quality time with the kids. They both talked to Noah about what had happened as much as they could and let him get his feelings out in the open. Olivia even offered to help the other boys and the 13-year old girl as well but they were all relieved that Michael Jensen was dead and would never hurt anyone again.
