A/N: Wow! I loved all of the reviews that I've gotten from my last chapter. I agree, it's one of my best ones, and the humor in it just fell into place. This chapter is sort of a filler, and narrative to fill in the reader on what has happened in the length of time that has passed. My next chapters will definitely be more descriptive and hopefully more humorous. As always, your input is appreciated.
Chapter 10
I'm so Happy
Two months at work had gone by fast for both Olivia and Elliot. Their wedding was the next day, October 30, 2005. The wedding consisted of very few people. Casey was the maid of honor; Maureen, Kathleen, and Lizzie were bridesmaids. For Elliot, his best man was Dickey, who had recently been asked to be called Rick instead. Cragen, Munch, Fin, Elliot's mother, and a few friends were also going to be there to witness the event.
Casey had gone with Olivia to pick out her wedding dress. Even the store owner had asked her to model for the store once Olivia had tried the dress on. The dress was slim fitted, strapless, had scattered sequins sewn into the fabric, and it also had a long train after it. Olivia also purchased a veil which had just a few sequins to match the dress. The good news for her was that she hadn't started to really show yet, at three months, the slimness wouldn't last much longer. Her stomach barely even looked swollen to Elliot when she lifted her shirt to show him.
The wedding was held at St. Catherine's church, and reception was at a local restaurant called Stella's. After the wedding, Elliot and Olivia were treated by their friends to a one week honeymoon on a cruse in the Caribbean. If the couple had their way, they might have just taken a week off from work, but the 1-6 wouldn't have it any other way.
Olivia and Elliot had decided not to have bachelor/bachelorette parties because they couldn't wait to be married, and technically, Elliot wasn't a bachelor since he had been married, and already had a bachelor party. The only person Olivia would have invited anyway would have been Casey, so it wouldn't have been much of a party.
That night, at Olivia's apartment, she and Elliot were watching a made for TV movie together.
"I'm so happy that we're finally getting married, El," Olivia said as she rested her head on Elliot's chest.
"Me too," Elliot replied and placed his hand on her back.
Elliot could tell that there was more that Olivia wanted to say, but he waited for her.
"I'm glad that we can give our baby what I never had; a stable home, two loving parents, and a healthy life. I hope that I'll know what to do as a mother, because I sure didn't have an example. My mother spent her time either getting drunk, or being passed out on the couch after doing so," Olivia said after a minute of silence.
"You'll be a great mother, even though your childhood wasn't good. Trust me Liv, you'll give our baby everything you didn't have, but wanted. I love you, Livia," Elliot said.
Olivia smiled at her childhood pet name. When Serena, her mother wasn't drunk, Livia was the name she used. As a child, the name Livia wasn't heard often. If Serena was drunk, some unflattering adjective placed in front of the word 'bitch' was often used to refer to her daughter.
"I love you too, El," Olivia said as she nodded on and off next to Elliot.
A/N: Let me know if you liked the skip ahead in time, or not. I decided to go ahead and to that instead of trying to describe every day for two months. I want to give this story some direction, not just a no-pointer, although those can be quite cute too. Next chapter will be more interesting, I promise! Please read and review, thanks a bunch!
