Who Was My Mother?

Chapter 2

Dad's POV

"What was her name?" Noah asked.

"Her name was Ellie Porter."

"But Porter, that's not rig-." "Shh, let me tell the story now. Let's go back 16, and a half year."

"We had a young women in the interrogatiom room. We needed her to testify against a man called Lil Tino. Her testimony was crucial.

But she wouldn't. We work all night to find something on her. Her weak point. Then out of the blue, a lawyer comes in. This lawyer only deals with adopted children, fostervare children or orphans. She asked us if we had a Ellie Porter in custidy. Surely we answered yes, and then she turned to one of the detectivs and said, that we had to tell this Ellie that her som was alive and in a childrens home."

"Was it me dad?"

"Yes Noah, it was. But you see, we didn't know your name back then. We just called you baby boy, and stuff like that. When we showed Ellie the pictures she started crying. 'Is Noah alive?' She asked us, and she was so happy when we confirmed it. She thought you were dead. We had to tell her where we found you in the first time. You were at a married couples house. They had three other kids, older than yoi, who they used to make rape videos of. Lickily we found you before they did anything to hurt you.

Ellie Porter was put in a safe house, where other womens were too. There were leaders too, who watched out for drugs and alcohol.

Ellie got to see you, and was so happy. She agreed to testify, and wanted to clean up so she could get you back.

But the Night before she had to give her testimony, she escaped from the safe house.

We searched all night, and found her, burned up near some train tracks...

We knew some guys were sent by Lil Tino, as we found dna from six different guys on her. Yet, Tino took all the blame for it.

Now your case was in the family court. Offcourse you were looking at living in the childrens home untill appropriate fosterparents came along. But the judge came with a surprising deal. One of our detectives had always appeared in court when your case was in. She was always there. The judge asked her, if she would like to be your fostermom for a year, and then it would be up for questioning if she would permanently adopt you. All eyes were on her. She was speachless, but then she said yes. Now this is all I've heard from the family court room, since I wasn't there by myself. But next thing we know, she comes back to the station with you, little baby Noah Benson."

"Dad. What was her name?"

"Her name was... Olivia Benson."

||/so the next chapters will be more exciting. You probably knew all this, but in the next ones, you'll get to know bits of what happened to Olivia. Why she doesn't have Noah anymore.\\|
