Me and You
A love story
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Law and Order: SVU- they belong to NBC and Dick Wolf. Nor do I own the song that inspired this story- it belongs to Kenny Chesney.
Author's Note: Well here is my first attempt at what will be a story with multiple chapters. It's inspired by the song "Me and You" by Kenny Chesney and a verse of it will appear at the top of each chapter. I truly hope you enjoy this. This first part is quite short because it is just the prologue. Please read and review! I will take any feedback-whether it is good or bad.
Prologue
Ordinary? No, really don't think so
Not a love this true
Common destiny
We were meant to be
Me and you
Elliot couldn't believe that he had been married to the love of his life for 25 years today. It seemed to have passed in just an instant but at the same time it seemed like a blissful eternity had already passed. These had truly been the best 25 years of his life. That's not to say that they had been perfect- far from it actually. Up and down, good and bad, had been a constant part of their lives. And it was something that he wouldn't change for anything.
They were renewing their vows today in front of all their family and friends. Elliot stood at the front of the church gazing in awe at the amount of people in attendance. He saw his children- all 7 of them- sitting with their husbands or wives and children. He saw all the cops and ADAs that he worked with for over 20 years. He felt the presence of his mother even though she had long since passed away.
Before he knew it music began to play and the double doors at the back of the church opened to reveal his bride. Although her hair was gray (his was nearly nonexistent) and her skin was wrinkled, to him she was still the most beautiful woman in the world. Her warm, chocolate brown eyes still held the fire and spark that he had noticed when they first met 40 years ago.
She met him at the top of the steps and he took a moment to look at her and whisper in her ear to tell her how beautiful and amazing she was. The renewal ceremony was short but incredibly poignant. At the end they repeated the vows they had written for each other a quarter of a century ago and re-exchanged their wedding bands.
And as Elliot kissed his wife a million memories began flying through his mind. Each one was a special moment in their lives together. Ones he knew that he would never forget no matter how much time passed. Each one was special to him- to them.
When they broke apart she whispered through tears that had begun to fall, "I love you so much Elliot."
He whispered back, "I love you even more Olivia. Partners for life- me and you."
To Be Continued…
Author's Note: In the first real chapter we start a multi-chapter series of flashbacks that will eventually lead back to these moments. We'll begin with their first meeting in 1999. Don't forget to review!
