Disclamer: I do not own these characters. Dick Wolf does, but I think you know that.

Olivia only had one more day to get ready and have the resersal at the church. After Olivia had her fitting and she had made sure that everything was set and ready she headed over to the church.

"Is everyone here?" Olivia asked Casey storming into the church.

"Olivia dont worry everything is ready."

Olivia sighed in releafe.

As they practiced walking down the aisle and saying their vowes Olivia noticed that one person, the person who was supposed to be there, the one person who she needed to be there wasnt there. Elliot wasnt there. She knew why. She knew it was about the day before. About the kiss. The one that she would never regret. The one that was so passionate.

"Michael I think you should stay at Deriks place tonight. We dont need any bad luck."

"Are you afraid of bad luck?" Michael didnt think it was a big deal.

"I do." Olivia answered sternly.

Michael kissed her and began to leave. "Im going to go pick up some things though."

"Okay."

After Micheal had left and everyone else had gone out for some drinks Olivia got into her car and drove to the precinct. She just wanted to be near a place she loved and knew...her work. As Olivia walked into the squad room she noticed no one was there. She walked over to her desk and walked around Elliots tracing the edges with her fingers and than finally sitting down in her old beat up chair which she had asked Captain to have replaced months before. Olivia than went into deep thought about when she first came to SVU, all the jokes that her and the squad played on each other, and all the times she looked into Elliots eyes and felt like she was drowning in the ocean.

"How did I know you would be here?" Captain asked walking into the squad room.

"I needed to think."

"Ill be in my office if you need me."

Olivia nodded as Captain walked into his office closing the door.

Soon after Olivia got up and began to walk to the elevator when she bumped into Elliot.

"Elliot." was all she could say.

"Liv."

"Can I talk to you?"

"Sure." Elliot didnt know what to say. He wanted to see her and yet he didnt.

He followed her a very short distance to the wall by the elevator.

"I want you to be there tomorrow. I really missed you tonight."

"Ill try."

"Please." Olivia said leaving to the elevator which opened instantly when she pushed the button.

As Olivia went down the elevator she realized that she wasnt the only one feeling this way. He did too. She wasnt alone. At this point in time it was too late to leave Michael. She loved Mihcael, or thats at least what she thought.

On the way home Olivia thought hard about what she should do. She wasnt sure she could get out of the wedding. There was so much she loved about Michael, but she loved more about Elliot. "What about work?" she thought. She knew that Captain would be upset and might seperate them. She couldnt help to think negatively.

Once she got to her apartment and settled in she noticed there was a message on the answering machine. She pressed play.

"First unheard message, sent today at 10:26pm. 'Hi honey its Michael. I just wanted to say goodnight. No bad luck tonight. I hope you are getting your beauty sleep. Love you.'" Olivia quickly deleted the message.

"Sencond unheard message sent today at 10:58pm. 'Hey Liv. Its Elliot. Call me. I dont think I can make it tomorrow. I love you.'"

Olivia sat down on the couch letting the words sink in. As she began to cry the phone rang. "Benson." it was Michael. "Michael Im going to bed now. Ill see you tomorrow." She quickly hung up. She wanted to talk to Elliot. She wanted him to hold her in his giant bear arms and tell her everything would be okay. She wanted to feel the muscles in his arms hold her tight. She wanted to feel like she was the most loved women in the world.

She picked up the phone and called Elliot. It rang three times before he picked up.

"Hello." he answered in a groggy voice.

"El its Liv."

"Did you get my message?"

"I love you too Elliot." she answered with tears coming down her face.

"Dont cry Liv." he aways knew every emotion she was feeling.

"I have to. Elliot Im marrying Michael tomorrow. Tell me how Im not suppose to cry."

"Ill be there for you tomorrow.

"Thank you."

"Olivia?"

"Yes."

"I love you."

"I love you too Elliot."

It was now the morning of the wedding. Olivia had never been more nerious. She wondered if she was doing the right thing. As she got into her dress she thought of Elliot. She was so happy that he was going to be there, but she wished she wasnt getting married. She was so confused as to what she thought she should do. She didnt want to hurt anyone.
"Olivia you look great." Casey said as she walked into the room.

"Thank you."

Olivia followed Casey to meet Captain to get ready to walk down the aisle. Everyone lined up and was ready when the organ began to play.

"Is Elliot here?" Olivia neriously asked Captian.

"No. Im sorry."

"Its okay." Olivia lied.

They followed the brides maides down the aisle and soon they had reached Michael. Captian turned her vail and gave Olivia to Michael before he sat down.

"Dearly beloved we gather here today to bring together Michael and Olivia in marriage. Is there anyone here that believes for some reason that these two should not be wed?"

Olivia bit her lip hoping that someone, anyone would raise their hand or stand or do anything. Most of all she wished that Elliot was there.

Michael said his vows and than it was Olivias turn. There was a slight commotion which caused Olivia along with everyone else to look back to the doors. It was Elliot. Olivia took out the letter and silently read it over again. Than she looked back at Elliot. She smiled at him and he smiled back. Olivia looked at the letter, than at Michael. She picked up her dress and ran. She ran to Elliot and they ran out of the church and stopped where no one could see them.

"What are you doing?" Elliot asked out of breath.

"Running to you. I dont want to marry Michael. I love you."

Elliot took Olivia's face in the palm of his hand and kissed her.

"We have to get out of her." Olivia laughed.

They quickly ran to his car, but when they got to it Michael and everyone from the church was there. Olivias smile quickly turned to a frown.

"Olivia what are doing running to this scum bag?" Michael asked with anger.

Olivia was mad. No one talked about her partner like that. "I love that scumbag." Olivia brought back her fist and punched him so hard he fell back.

Elliot walked over to her and picked her up to carry her to the car, but first he put one foot on Michael and pushed down.

"Didnt anyone tell you that youre the scumbag?"

As Elliot turned and went to the car Olivia kissed him and everyone cheered. Elliot turned to see that Captain was cheering and clapping too.

"Where are we going?" Elliot asked.

"Can we go to my apartment so I can change?"

"But you look so beautiful."

"Elliot I am going to burn this. And if we ever get married I am not wearing this piece of crap."

Elliot laughed. "We will."

"We will what?"

"Get married."

Olivia giggled and took Elliots hand in hers.
