Baby Benson, gone in the night

you've been served

It was 2 weeks later while Olivia was at the squad room that a man walked over to her and said "Olivia Benson?"

Olivia looked at him "yes?"

"You've been served" he said and handed her the papers and then left the squad room.

She figured she knew what they were but she opened them anyway and sighed banging a fist slightly on the desk as fin and amanda noticed.

"What's up liv?" Fin asked.

She sighed "it's David he filed for primary custody of Brielle" she said.

"What? Come on he wasn't even around that much when she was a baby why does he seem so interested now?" Fin asked.

"He's getting married I think he wants an instant family with her since his ex hasn't been letting him see his other kids for the last couple years." She replied.

"Don't worry about this liv we will help you figure it out" he said.

"Before I got pregnant with Brielle I tried to adopt and they told me I wasn't prime parent material and really I haven't changed that much since then. He makes good money, is going to be married and have a woman in the house to be a stay at home parent. So yeah I am worried that he could win this." She said.

He sighed as he watched her leave for the day.

She arrived home not long after with pizza for her and Brielle as she let herself in and smiled as her daughter ran to her and hugged her around her waist and olivia touched her daughters hair. "Well someone is excited to see me" Olivia laughed as she gave the pizza to her new nanny Lucy before picking up her daughter. "So how was your day my love?"

"It was fun mommy. Lucy took me to the zoo and I seed all the animals it was so cool" she said.

Olivia smiled "sounds very fun." She set her daughter back down and said "go get your hands washed for dinner ok sweetie?"

"Okay mommy" she smiled and ran off.

Olivia pulled some money from her wallet and paid Lucy "thank you Lucy we will see you tomorrow".

Lucy nodded "yes of course bye Olivia" she said as she left for the night.

Olivia dished out some food for herself and her daughter. She poured herself a glass of wine and some grape juice for Brielle.

Brielle ran in the kitchen with her hands still wet and was about to grab her plate and olivia stopped her laughing "sweetheart you have to dry your hands after you wash them." She said finishing drying her daughters hands and then handed Brielle the plate.

"Can we watch frozen mommy?" She asked plopping on the couch and olivia smiled with a sigh "my love I swear you know that movie word for word by now. How about we watch inside out instead?" She suggested.

"Ok mommy" she half smiled and cuddled up to Olivia's side as she began to eat as the movie started.

Olivia ate and put an arm around Brielle.

A couple hours later Brielle was out like a light on the couch and olivia picked her up and put her to bed kissing her head as she sat on the edge of the bed and gently touched her forhead to her daughters holding back tears hateing that she may not be able to do this every night with her soon.

She sat just watching her sleep for a bit and then left the room and poured one more glass of wine sitting on the couch and looking over the papers she had been given. She took a breath and texted her lawyer Rita Calhoun.

(More to come soon. Who will get custody? Will olivia lose her daughter again so soon after finding her?)
