Chapter 4
Olivia and Nick were finishing up paperwork. "This has been the longest day…. EVER!" she said throwing her hands up in the air. Nick laughed and agreed. "This day has been dragging and tonight I need to get home." Olivia looked up "Why? What's so special about tonight?" she asked. "My wife comes home from Afghanistan tonight" Nick said looking at the wedding photo on his desk. "Nick go home" She said. Nick smiled at his partner "Thanks Liv" he said grabbing his coat. Olivia smiled "Anytime Nick"
A few minutes later, Olivia felt her phone vibrate. She pulled it out. It was from Elliot. She smiled as she read it:
Hey babe don't work too late tonight I have a surprise for you when you get home –Elliot
Olivia smiled and replied
A surprise? I wonder what it could be. And don't worry I'll be home soon. I've been engulfed in paperwork all afternoon long. I miss you –Liv
Olivia put her phone down and continued to work until she heard another vibration
You'll just have to wait and see but I guarantee you're going to love itJ. And oh the joys of paperwork ;) and I miss you too. Love you –Elliot
Olivia laughed and Munch looked up. "Text from Mr. Amazing?" he said giggling. Olivia rolled her eyes and nodded. "Tell him we said we miss his ass" Fin said. "Tell him the government is possessed" Munch said. Olivia and Fin rolled their eyes "Munch don't start" they said in unison.
A few seconds later Olivia replied
I can't wait babeJ. Well let me finish the rest of this paperwork and I'll be home shortly. Munch and Fin say hello and that they miss you. Love you too-Liv
Olivia sent the text and got back to work. She couldn't wait to get home to Elliot to see what he had planned for them. "Liv you look eager to get the hell out. What up?" Fin said looking at Olivia. Olivia shook her head and smiled at the photo of her and Elliot on her desk. Fin was still watching her. "Hot date Liv?" Olivia laughed at his comment "A surprise. I don't know what he's planning." Fin laughed "What do you think it is?" Olivia shrugged "Who knows"
Just then Casey and Alex came running in. "Olivia! Olivia!" The sound of their screaming startled Olivia and made Fin and Munch jump. "Jeez Case trying to give me heart attack?" Casey laughed. "What?" Olivia said looking at the two girls who had a bag in their hands. "Come with us now" Casey said as Olivia stood up. "What's in the bag Case?" Alex looked at Casey and then at Olivia. "It's for your date tonight come on" before Olivia could reply Casey and Alex dragged her into the cribs. "Put this on with these heels." Olivia nodded and put the dress on. The dress was a backless red cocktail dress and the heels were strappy and sexy. Alex curled her hair and Casey did her makeup. "Liv you look amazing." Olivia looked at herself. "Wow. Thanks guys" she said hugging Casey and Alex. Olivia walked out. Fin and Munch were still in the room and Cragen walked out just in time to see Olivia's amazing transformation eels." Olivia nodded and put the dress on. The dress was a backless red cocktail dress and the heels were strappy and sexy. Alex curled her hair and Casey did her makeup. "Liv you look amazing." Olivia looked at herself. "Wow. Thanks guys" she said hugging Casey and Alex. Olivia walked out. Fin and Munch were still in the room and Cragen walked out just in time to see Olivia's amazing transformation. All three men were speechless. "I think they like the dress" Olivia said to Alex and Casey. They nodded. "Cragen I'm taking off. Elliot has a surprise that apparently Casey and Alex knew about so I am going to leave. Is that okay?" Cragen nodded. Olivia grabbed her coat and left.
Olivia made her way outside with Casey and Alex behind her. Just then Casey and Alex ran in front of the door. Olivia was confused. "Guys? What's going on?" Casey and Alex grinned. "You'll see." Casey opened the door. Olivia gasped at what she saw. There was a red carpet with rose petals down it that lead to a white limo where Elliot stood with a bouquet of red and white roses. "Casey, Alex did you know about this?" they nodded and smiled "You deserve this Liv. Go to your man" Alex and Casey nudged Olivia closer. Elliot came up and took her hand "You ready?"Olivia nodded. She had so many questions but chose not to ask them. "Elliot this is... Amazing I love it" Elliot handed her the bouquet of roses and gestured her to get into the limo. Olivia nodded and got into the limo. Elliot got in after Olivia to get in. "Thanks girls" Elliot said to Casey and Alex. They nodded and smiled "Good luck" they said before Elliot shut the door. "Good luck?" Olivia said looking at Elliot. "What does that mean?" Elliot looked at her and kissed her. "You'll see very shortly" he said grinning. Olivia decided not to push it so she snuggled closer to Elliot. Elliot pulled her in. "You look amazing by the way" Olivia laughed. "You should have seen the looks Munch Fin and Cragen gave me and I think Munch stopped breathing for a good 2 minutes." Elliot laughed "Oh Munch" Olivia laughed "The one and only" Elliot nodded agreeing with Olivia.
The two sat in the limo in silence lost in each other's thoughts. Elliot was thinking about how his and Olivia's lives were about to change. Olivia was thinking about how different things were. It was like a parallel universe she was living in. She couldn't remember when she and Elliot got together but chose not to worry about it because for once everything was perfect.
"Liv?" Elliot said placing his hand on her leg.
"Hmm?" Olivia said still looking out the window
"What are you thinking about?"
"About how amazing my life with you these past few months have been. I love you Elliot. I always have and I always will." She said looking deep into his icy blue eyes
Elliot smiled and looked into her chocolate brown eyes. He loved the way they sparkled and they only sparkle when she looked at him. "I love you too Liv. I have loved you for such a long time. I was going to do this when we got to Madison Square Garden but I can't wait any longer" Suddenly he pulled out a small velvet black box. Olivia gasped when he opened it. "Olivia I can't imagine my life without you. I love you so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" Olivia's eyes watered as she looked at the diamond engagement ring. Then she looked up at Elliot. "Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes!" She said smiling the biggest smile. Elliot smiled wide and slipped the ring onto Olivia's finger. He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her. "My life is finally complete." She said smiling at Elliot then back down at the ring. Elliot smiled "So is mine. I'm glad I can finally spend it with you" he said taking her hand and kissing it. Olivia scrunched her nose and laughed. "And this ring may I add is absolutely beautiful" She said smiling down at it. The ring was a princess cut. It had a diamond in the middle and two medium sized sapphires on the sides then smaller diamonds on both sides of the sapphires and the band of the ring was platinum. It was just like Olivia imagined. She loved it. Her life was finally becoming better.
