"Yes?" She answers. Still not knowing who the twins are.
"Olivia, it's me" dickie says
"Dickie? Lizzie?" She asks
"Yeah" Lizzie replies
"Oh, wow! Hi!" Olivia says
"Hi, it's been a while" dickie says
"Mom?! Am I missing something?" Noah asks
"Erm.. Yeah.. I will talk to you later about it okay?" She says
"Okay" he says
"Erm, it's kind of late. I think we should go. Lizzie come on" Dickie say
"Erm, do you need a lift?" Olivia offers.
"I don't think that.."
"Is okay, I'll drive you if you want" she smiles
"Okay" Lizzie replies
"No! We don't need a lift from you! Come on Lizzie!" Dickie says yanking her arm.
They leave the apartment and take a cab back to their house.
Ashley and Sam decide to leave as well been as there is so much tension.
"Noah, I need to talk to you" she says
"Okay, yeah I am really confused" he says.
They sit down at the table.
"Wow! Where do I start!? Erm... You know how I work at SVU, yeah I'm lieutenant now. Well when I was just a detective I had a partner, Elliot. We were really close. And his wife always accused me of trying to steel him from her. I didn't, I really didn't. I helped deliver their child.
Anyway, we were 12 years into our partner ship. And we got a case. Long story short, a girl started to shoot in the squad room. And Elliot shot her, dead. He couldn't live with himself, so he put his papers in.... I erm... I'm not gonna lie, I was really upset. He was my best friend. I don't know if there was anything else between us, but, I really miss him.
And, the child I helped deliver, that's Eli, and his other children, are Lizzie and Dickie. I don't think thy you have met Kathleen or Maureen" she says
"Wait, Lizzie and Dickie are related to our new teacher, it's their sister" Noah says
"Oh, wow. Erm. I'm happy for her, she always wanted to be a teacher.
Anyways, erm, Kathy, Elliot's wife. She had probably told Dickie things about me.." She starts but is cut off by Noah
"Wait! You used to work with, Lizzie, Dickie and Eli's dad?" He asks
"Yeah, but that isn't even the thing that I wanted to talk to you about" she says
"Okay, then what?"
"Look, I know that you know that you were adopted. But when you were a baby, I was the one that found you. You were" she stops to take a deep breath. "You were with, child pornographers. I took you out of there. You were put into care, because your mother was in jail, and your father was a pimp. I fostered you, until one day in court. Your father took a gun from an officer. He shot her along with the judge and my other ex partner.
Then you were pronounced an orphan, after he was shot. The judge asked if I wanted to adopt you, so I did" she smiles
"Mom, thank you" he smiles back.
"What for?"
"For finding me. For taking me in. For looking after me. For loving me. Thank you so much mom. I love you" he says
"I love you too" she smiles back.
There was a silence, then a memory pops into his mind.
"Noah, you have to look after your mother okay? A nasty man hurt her, before you were born. She is really hurt. Promise me you will look after her?" Uncle Finn asks
"Okay, I will" I reply.
"Mom?"
"Yeah?"
"A while ago, Uncle Finn, he told me that, before I was born, a nasty man hurt you. Who was that?" He asks
She is shocked that he would even ask that.
"Noah, sweetie. You really don't need to know about that" she says standing up.
"Mom please. Tell me. I want to know who hurt you. I will kill him!" He stands up with her.
"Sweetie, he is already dead. Please don't worry about me. I'm fine. I've been hurt more than once, and I survived" she walks over to him, and kisses his forehead.
"Mom, I don't want anyone to hurt you. Please tell me" he says
"Noah, you don't need to know the details. You just need to know, that I am here now. I'm alive, and we are doing great. Just the two of us. We are fine. I am fine" she replies
"Mom.."
"So what do you want for dinner?" She asks, cutting him off.
