I need a Quick Diversion

Olivia stared at herself in the mirror. She had been to seven dress shops and nothing seemed to say "this is the dress I'm going to wear when I marry the most perfect man in the world." With a heavy sigh she sat down on the couch that was in the dressing room and put her head in her hands. The day had been long and she was getting tired. So she had decided that the dress she was wearing was going to be the last dress she tried on that day. As she was unzipping the dress she heard a knock on the door.

"Olivia, its Casey, me and Alex we were talking to the store owner telling her about your personality and story about you and Elliot. Well she got all excited and ran to the back of the store and picked out something for you to try on."

"Casey, I'm tired, my feet hurt and I just want to go home"

"Olivia, please just humor me and try on the dress" Olivia opened the dressing room door and snatched the black garment bag out of Casey's hand.

"Olivia have we told you today that you look very pretty, like a glowing bride-to-be." Alex said with a laugh. When they heard Olivia mumble a few choice words, they both started laughing uncontrollably.

Because of their laughter they did not hear Olivia gasp when she unzipped the garment bag. Tears immediately flowed from her eyes as she touched the delicate lace. She carefully put on the gown and a rush of more tears flowed. The dress had a collar that stopped mid neck but it wasn't constricting because it was made out of lace. The gown flowed gracefully over her curves; she turned around and saw that the lace revealed most of the skin down to the middle of her back. The simple body gathered at the back into a sweet lace bustle and her arms were bare. She was thrilled in the fact that it was off white because it made it seem like she stepped out of a classic novel. Her mind then immediately imagined the wedding day, her walking down the aisle in a dream like state.

"Olivia the anticipation is killing us out here!" Casey yelling at Olivia snapping her out of the daydream. She had the urge to say a snappy one liner but she was in such euphoria she said nothing as she opened the door of the dressing room. Both Casey and Alex's mouth fell open, and then the tears escaped from their eyes.

"I think this is the ..." Before she could finish her sentence, the cell phone that was in her purse went off. She grabbed it and noticed it was Elliot, the first time he called her all day. She flipped open her phone to answer. "Hi El."

"Hey Liv, I was thinking I could come pick you up and we go out to dinner." Olivia felt that was another sign that the dress was the "one" because she felt a sudden wave of panic.

"NO!... Um I mean me and the girls were going to go meet Melinda at S'nice for dinner. I forgot, sorry."

"Oh Ok, see you tomorrow then. I love you Olivia."

"I Love you too Elliot." With a sigh of relief she closed her phone. She then felt two sets of eyes on her.

"So you are buying us dinner?" Alex said as she was putting her jacket on.

"This is the dress and Elliot said he was coming here, so I needed a quick diversion. Hey but we are still going out to dinner, so call Melinda. We can discuss the bridesmaid's dresses."

"We can also discuss who the Maid of Honor is gonna be." Casey at that point started to point to herself causing Olivia to roll her eyes.

"I think I might have two Maid of Honors… Alex and Melinda. HAHA" Casey's eyes dropped to the floor and Olivia did immediate damage control "Casey the Maid of Honors is going to be you and Alex. Melinda is going to be the Matron of Honor." Casey and Alex started jumping up and down.

"Ok, while you two act like high school girls, I am going to get change out of this perfect dress and pay for it."

Alex then dialed a number on her cell phone and started whispering into it. "Ok its time."

" Ok thanks." Munch had a huge smile on his face as he closed his phone. "Let's roll. We don't have long."

************************************************************************************

Olivia walked up to the counter and pulled her wallet out of her back pocket.

"It's been paid for." The store owner had a huge smile on her face. Olivia's face on the other hand had the look of pure confusion.

"What do you mean it has been paid for?"

"Let's just say you have an angel looking after you. Have a nice day"

"Umm thank you…and you have a nice day too."

"Hey can we stop by my apartment before we go meet Melinda."

" Sure we can get dolled up and make it a girl's night!" Casey started go off on all the plans they could do that night and did not hear Olivia mumble a couple profanities under her breath.

***************************************************************************

As Olivia, Alex, and Casey were walking down 45 8th Avenue, Olivia kept asking them who bought the dress.

"Olivia you are such a cop, I can honestly say it was not me or Casey. Now can you please stop the interrogation, were here.

"It seems closed for a party, let's go somewhere else." Olivia was not in the mood to crash some ones party. She started to walk away but Casey grabbed her wrist and started dragging her into the restaurant. At that moment her jaw dropped. Everyone important in her life was standing there with giant smiles on their faces.

"Surprise!" everyone yelled in unison and Olivia brought her hand to her mouth. Elliot then pushed his way through the crowd and wrapped his arm around her waist. As he kissed the top of her head he spoke in a low sweet voice." Welcome to our engagement party"

Olivia's eyes scanned the restaurant. It was covered in white and gold balloons, gold table cloths were draped over each table with three candles place on them. That's not what she cared about, what she loved the most was that her "family" was there. Cragen, Munch, Fin, Melinda, and Hueng were joined by Casey and Alex as they were all standing there with huge smile painted on their faces.

As the evening digressed Olivia started wondering about the dress." Was it Elliot who bought the dress, oh my god, does that mean he saw it?" At that moment Olivia punched Elliot in the chest.

"Hey what was that for?" Elliot chuckled but rubbed the spot where she punched, confused.

"You bought and saw the dress, didn't you? I wanted it to be a surprise till the wedding day!"

At that point Munch stepped in. "Nope Liv, he wasn't the one who bought the dress….. It was Fin and I."

"See Olivia, we didn't lie!" Alex laughed as her and Casey high fived each other.

"Why would you too do that…. You didn't have to do that." Her mouth was still hanging open and she was trying to soak in everything that was happening to her.

"Hey we wanted to take care of our little sis'." Fin then walked over to Olivia and gave her a hug.

"Hey, it's bad enough that I am seeing the love of my live about to marry a pure ass, but now I have to see her hugging another man!" With mocking pain, Munch put his hand over his heart and pretended to cry.

"Oh John, I'm sorry… come here you big softy." Munch then walked over and gave Olivia a hug. She then started to hear that he was then actually crying. "What's wrong John?"

He then removed his glasses to wipe away his tears. "I'm so happy to see you happy. This has been the happiest I have ever seen you. I know that Elliot is the happiest he has ever been… Sorry, I don't mean to be a party pooper. I guess this gives me hope for true love.
