It's My Party
The next month seemed to fly by. Elliot and Olivia had worked out a pretty good schedule for Andrea. She stayed with Elliot whenever the twins were with him, and when Olivia and Mike went out he watched her.
It got harder for Elliot to get up and go to work each day. He hated the fact that he sat close enough to touch his Olivia at the precinct, but he had never been so far way. All he wanted to do was to tell her how much he loved her, to kiss her just one more time, to hold her in his arms at night and breathe in her scent, but he knew that that could never happen again. Even though he was alive and well, he felt like a part of him had died that day four years ago, and he was never getting it back. He didn't know how he was going to make it through the ceremony the next day.
He lay alone in his bed as his daughter slept in her now fully finished room. He had moved Maureen's stuff into Kathleen's since they only came over when they were home; and as soon as her residency was over, Maureen was getting an apartment of her own.
Elliot couldn't help but think about the woman who he used to share his bed with quite frequently. She had her perfect family now; the perfect daughter and the perfect husband. Was there any more room for him in her new perfect life?
Unknown to Elliot, Olivia wasn't as sure about her "perfect" life as he was. Mike was at his bachelor party, and Olivia was sitting in her living room surrounded by her own friends for her bachelorette party.
Sitting to her right was newly wed Casey, and sitting to her left was a very pregnant Alex. Across from her was her sister in law, Maureen, Kathleen, and a few friends she had made through Andrea.
"I told you guys not to do anything." Olivia complained.
"What, and miss what may be out last chance to attend a bachelorette party?" Casey asked.
"Yeah Liv, you're the last one to be getting married. Plus, this is probably going to be the last time I'll be going out for say, oh, the next 18 years." Alex joked, causing the rest of the room to laugh.
"So, you nervous?" One of the women asked.
Olivia wanted to say "yes", but her sister in law to be was sitting across from her, and she already was having issues with her future in laws.
"Surprisingly enough, not really." Olivia lied.
Before anyone could add onto the conversation there was a knock at the door. Olivia looked at Casey who had a huge grin on her face.
"Casey, you didn't! I told you not to!" She scolded.
"What, I didn't do anything." Casey said innocently.
"Well, aren't you going to see who it is?" Alex asked coyly.
Olivia glared at her friends, but gave in and opened the door to find a very built, very attractive, tall, tan repair man. Being that he was only wearing tight khaki pants, a repair man's hat, a tool belt, and had a tool box in his hand, Olivia could tell this was no repair man.
"I hear that you have a broken pipe in need of fixing." He said seductively.
"You are very shiny for a repair man, aren't you." Olivia smiled. "Well, come on in, let's get this over with."
"I take it you're the bride to be." He smiled.
"You would be correct." She smiled back.
"Well sit down, and take it all in." He answered.
"I hate you all." Olivia laughed to the women in the room who were all hooting and hollering already.
After the show was over, and the "repair man" had left, Olivia was left with a workman's hat and a very pleasant image that would be burnt in her brain for a while.
"Considering that we all need to be up bright and early tomorrow, I say we call it a night ladies." Mike's sister offered.
"Sounds like a plan." One of Olivia's friends agreed.
After thank yous and hugs all that was left in Olivia's apartment was Casey Alex, herself, and three bowls of ice cream.
After helping her pick up a little the three women changed into their pajamas and sat around the living room.
"Thanks for staying over here tonight; it's always so quiet when Elliot has Drea." Olivia said.
"Hey, you're offering a night away from the husbands complete with stripper, girl talk, and ice cream Liv. Believe me, the pleasure was all ours." Alex answered with a smile.
"So, wanna tell us why you lied before?" Casey asked out of no where.
"What are you talking about?" Olivia asked beginning on her dessert.
"When Laura asked if you were nervous about tomorrow, and you said, 'no'". Casey pushed.
"I didn't lie." Olivia said through a small, uncomfortablelaugh.
"Bull." Casey called her, eating her own cold treat.
"I have got to stop hanging around with lawyers." Olivia smiled.
"So..." Alex took her turn to push her friend.
"I didn't want to start anything with Mike's sister." Olivia answered honestly.
"You know, it's perfectly natural to have cold feet." Casey comforted. "I almost barfed on my way down the isle."
"Thank you for that image." Olivia smiled. "But seriously, I'm fine."
"Olivia, I don't think I've seen you smile once when we've talked about your wedding." Alex pointed out.
"This wouldn't have to do with any certain hunky father of your child coming back into your life, would it?" Casey asked.
"No, no." Olivia answered. "Okay, so I'm nervous. I mean, I've never really been all that good with commitment." She continued. "But I love Mike, and I want to marry him. I mean, Elliot and me, that was an entire life time ago." She finished.
"As long as you're sure." Alex said.
"I am. I love Mike." Olivia assured them, and herself she finished her ice cream, and concluded the converation. "Look, maybe we should get to bed. Bree is right; we do have an early morning." With that, she went off to bed.
TBC... I know it was a little boring, but I had to get it in somewhere! REVIEW anyway PLEASE!
