A/N: Since the last chapter was short, I kept writing and here's this one!
Olivia walked into the 1-6 Monday morning and headed straight to the Captain's office. She had wanted Alex with her to tell everyone, but she had a meeting that was scheduled for the entire morning. And, Olivia wanted to be the only one to tell the Captain. He was, after all, the only father-figure in her life.
"Hey, Cap. Got a minute?"
"Sure, Liv. Take a seat."
Olivia shut the door behind her and sat in the brown leather chair across from her Captain. She looked at him, and smiled.
She had thought about what to say for days. She wanted it to sound perfect. Because it was perfect. Her life with Alex was perfect. More so than she could have imagined.
"Liv?"
"Sorry. I, uh, I just wanted you to be the first to know…. Alex and I are engaged"
"It's about time!" he said, as he smiled at her. He could tell from the way that she beamed that she was truly happy. And that's all he wanted.
Olivia left the Captain's office and joined her co-workers in the squad room.
Nick was the first to wrap her up in a hug. "I'm happy for you, Liv"
She had to laugh when Munch handed Fin $20.
"You guys seriously bet on us?"
"Oh yes" Munch was the first to answer.
Then, Fin jumped in. "First, we had a bet on when you two were knockin' boots…"
Olivia blushed. "Seriously?! You need to get lives"
Amanda joined in the conversation, unable to stop from laughing. "When we found out y'all were dating, we knew it was only a matter of time before an engagement."
Olivia glanced at Amanda, unable to believe she was in on it, too.
"Hey, don't look at me. I'm not allowed to gamble. It was all those two."
Just in time, Alex walked through the doors of the precinct. She joined in on the laughter, jokes, and story telling.
September 17 arrived in the blink of an eye, and both Alex and Olivia were full of excitement.
Olivia walked into the spare bedroom of their Hamptons house, and saw her dress hanging from a hook in the ceiling. She gently let it fall off the hanger, and slipped it over her toned, tan body. She spun around and looked into the mirror. Her hair was swept up into a low bun, and a few loose pieces of hair were curled and hanging around her face. Her bangs were swept to the side and pinned. Her makeup was perfectly done- not too heavy, but enough to be noticed. Her strapless dress was perfect. It was slightly puffy- with the perfect amount of fabric. It was a soft cream color, tight at the waist and loose below. She sat down and slipped her matching cream-colored heels on. This is it. Today is finally the day.
Across the yard in the small guesthouse, Alex was looking in the mirror. She had decided to wear her long blonde hair curled and half up, half down. She had simple black eyeliner on her eyes, blushed cheeks, and red lipstick, which stood out on her pale skin. Her dress was strapless, with a sweetheart neckline. Crystals decorated the tight body of the gown, which flowed out slightly past the hips, accenting her figure perfectly. Alex decided to wear red heels under her dress- no one could see them with the length of her dress, but they were the shoes she bought with Olivia before they were even together. I can't believe my dreams are coming true today.
Guests arrived at the Hamptons house at around 3. They were led to the beach, where there was a wooden floor set up, so no one had to walk through or sit in the sand. The wooden aisle was lined with a mixture of dark and light purple flower petals, and the white chairs that were set up had purple ribbons tied around them. At the end of the floor, there was an arch set up, decorated with white and purple flowers. There was satin fabric tied into large bows on either side of the arch. In the background, the waves were washing up gently onto the shore. It was a partly cloudy day- there was no chance of rain and the slight breeze was simply perfect.
Once everyone was seated, soft music began to play. Alex was the first one to walk down the aisle, arm-in-arm with her father. Once she reached the preacher at the front, her father kissed her cheek and gave her a big hug. Suddenly, Alex's jaw dropped. Olivia, who was being led down the aisle by Cragen, looked at Alex standing there and suddenly felt tears form in her eyes.
The ceremony was perfect- everyone who attended the wedding couldn't help but tear up when the pair shared their vows.
After the ceremony, guests were taken up to the back porch of the house. There were tables set up for the meal, and there was a large area designated for dancing. Lights hung from the ceiling, and there were lights in the trees surrounding the porch. It was a magical night.
As Alex and Olivia shared their first dance, they looked into each other's eyes. As brown met blue, both of them smiled. "I can't believe we are married"
"Today has been perfect, Liv. I love you so much"
"I love you too, Alex"
They danced to the music, wrapped up in each other's arms. There's no place I'd rather be.
