The Healing Process: Adopted by Olivia Benson

Chapter 13

*A/N*

Hey y'all! So first of all.  I Changed my account name. To my pen name, so dot let that throw you off! So at the end of the chapter is a court hearing. I'll be the first to admit, the only court knowledge I have is what I've seen on LAOSVU, and Jugde Judy, etc. So If it sounds inaccurate, or unrealistic and I'll totally fix it. Also, I have sort of forgotten if I gave Bristol a last name... so if I did, please remind me!! Love you all, Enjoy!

*Bristol

I've been in the Hospital for two weeks now. Which means I'm now 9 weeks along. Which is farther than we originally thought, but Dr. Walker did a 3-D ultrasound and we were able to see more detail, like their eye lids, and earlobes, both of which don't form until 9 weeks.

   Liv brought me some of my own clothes, so I wasn't stuck in the awful hospital gown the entire time. Dr. Walker also put me on a blood pressure med, that's been working really well. It's a shot though, but I don't mind. She said that it was safer for the babies, because it goes straight into my blood stream and they don't absorb as much of it. I've had a lot of visitors too.

  Since I've been here, most of the people Liv works with came to visit, apparently they're "the squad".  I met Amanda first. Well other than Captain Cragen. She's so nice! She stayed for about two hours, and I enjoyed every minute of it. She's definitely my favorite. She's got an awesome accent too.

  Next was Nick, he's pretty nice, he has a daughter who's a few years younger than me. She's pretty cute. She asked if I was going to be a momma, that I had a belly like her friends mommy.

*Flashback*

  Zara was sitting next to me on the bed. She looked at my stomach.

  "Are you going to be a mommy? My friend Leah's mom has a newly like yours. And she's gonna be a mommy again." She said putting her hand on my belly.  I smiled a little smile.

  "Yeah I am. They're still growing though."

  "But you're too young to be a mom." She said. and she said. Okay that kind of hurt.. I thought about it for a second, and realized she's just a kid, she doesn't understand things like that yet. Heck, I'm not supposed to understand things like that yet.

  "Bristol, I'm sorry... Zara, that was really rude." He said blushing.

   "It's okay." I said, looking at Zara. "I am little young. But sometimes, age is just number. Sometimes, even though someone is young they have a better understanding of life than someone who is older." I said, more to myself that to Zara.

  "Well, I think you're gonna be a really good mommy Bristol." Zara said.

  "Well, I think it's time to go." Nick said awkwardly. Zara gave me a hug, and said she can't wait to see me again. Putting her head by my belly.

  "Bye baby number one." She whispered as she kissed the left side of my belly. "And bye baby two." She said softly kissing the right side. I giggled and Olivia cooed as Zara hugged her.

  "Bye Auntie Liv." She said then walked over to where Nick stood at the door. He waved then joined hands with Zara as they left.  

  *end flashback*

They'd visited a couple more times, "coincidentally" the same time as Amanda. Each time Zara did the same thing. Telling the babies bye. She's so stinkin cute.

  I'd also met Fin. He's nice and really funny. I'd also met John Munch. He doesn't work with them any more, but he said he still wanted to keep in touch. He's kind of weird. But in a good way. He's got all these ideas about the government, and some of them actually make sense.
