A/N : Thanks for the reviews and faves etc, on this chapter since the last update. I'm on a bit on a writing binge at the moment, and therefore am getting a lot of things typed as there are just many ideas in my head.

So, this chapter sees something of which we know happens in another story; that I have yet not to write of that particular one, but considering this is pretty early on in the start of the relationship for Roderick and Olivia, it just sort of needs to be a stepping point in their story.

As always, all Glee characters belong to their creators and I am just borrowing them. All other characters that you don't recognize from the show, belong to me and cannot be used without my permission.

Thanks for reading

Chapter 4 –

With Kitty and Artie marrying; Roderick invited Olivia along to be his plus one, even though Artie had asked him along with Sebastian to be his groomsmen for the wedding; and that meant that for the most part he would be on after the ceremony a table with the others who were in the bridal party, and Olivia on one with his family, and who at the moment she had only met that of his close family and not the extended family in that of cousins, aunts and uncles.

With Marley, who she had not met before, along with that of Ryder; the two of them having arrived a few days ago, and finally getting to meet them the other night at Roderick's childhood home when they had gone around there for dinner.

Olivia knew that from talks with Kitty, and Mikki who had been helping her with the seating plan that she would be on a table with his aunts and uncles, as well as cousins; since Roderick was one of Artie's groomsmen along with Sebastian as well, and Mikki and Marley serving as bridesmaids for Kitty.

Arriving at the Lexington Country Club where the wedding and also reception was going to be held, and where Kitty also worked. She parked her car in the visitor car park and then made her way, following that of the signs to the area where the wedding was to be, and grabbed her phone from her small handbag and dialed Roderick's number from the contacts.

"Hi" said Roderick, upon answering the call. "Are you at the country club?"

"I am, yes" she replied, with a small nod. "I'm standing near the sign that is announcing the wedding of Kitty and Artie"

"Okay, sure" said Roderick, as Olivia read over the sign and seeing what was written on it. "I'll be there in a minute"

"Okay" she replied, with a smile. "I'll see you in a minute" she continued, and ended the call and then before placing her cell phone back into her handbag switched it to silent in case it was to ring or have any kind of notification come through whilst the wedding was taking place.

Looking around the country club, and thinking to herself that it was a lovely place to get married; she was snapped out of her thoughts, hearing a voice ask if she was okay; and turned to see a brunette haired girl, who she estimated to be around the same age as she was looking to her.

"Hi, umm yes" she replied, with a small nod and smile to the other girl. "I was just waiting on Rod"

"Oh, you're Olivia" said the brunette with a smile. "I'm Sami, Rod's cousin"

"Yes, that's me" replied Olivia with a smile to the girl she now knew to be Sami. "It's nice to meet you"

"You too" replied Sami, with a smile also. "Roddy's told us a lot about you"

"Umm, yeah okay" said Olivia, as a small blush came over her face, and intrigued by the fact that even though they had only been together a couple of months that Roderick had already spoken about her in a manner that his family knew of her. "He's made mention of you and also your family as well"

"I should hope so" said Sami, with a laugh; as Roderick came over to the two of them.

"Hi" he said, as he gently slipped an arm around Olivia's waist and looked to her with a smile and then to Sami. "Looks like your already making friends"

"Hmm, yes she is" replied Sami with a smile and laugh to her cousin. "And don't worry Kenz and I will look after Olivia today whilst you're tending to bridezilla Kitty"

"Thanks" said Roderick, with a laugh and looked to Olivia. "So you're on a table later for the reception with Sami and the others"

"Yes, I remember Kitty and Mikki saying that the other evening" said Olivia, with a smile to him. "I'm sure, as I told them it will be fine"

"Of course it will be fine" said Sami, with a small laugh and smile. "And we can tell you heaps of embarrassing things about Roddy and what he was like when he was little too"

"No, you won't" she Roderick, with a small laugh also and looking to his cousin. "You and Kenz, are going to do nothing of the sort"

"Oh, it won't be just me" replied Sami, with a smile. "I'm sure my Mom and Dad also have heaps as well"

"Just know I have heap of embarrassing stories on your too, Sami" replied Roderick, with a smile to his cousin. "And when the time comes, I will gladly tell the guy you are with those about you"

"Okay, fine" sighed Sami, almost defeatedly. "I won't tell Olivia, how you use to run around with your underpants on your head and call yourself Captain Underpants"

"Samantha" said Roderick, looking at his cousin and going bright red in the face; as Olivia laughed.

"Don't worry, Hartley my brother" said Olivia, as she looked to Roderick with a smile. "He use to wear this old dress of my mom's that she gave me for dressing up, and call himself Queenie"

"See Roddy" said Sami, with a laugh and smile. "Yours is not half as bad as that"

"No" replied Roderick, with a laugh also and shaking his head. "But I am a little concerned about your brother dressing up and calling himself Queenie"

"Hmm, but that's just Harts" said Olivia, with a laugh. "And you've met him" she continued, as Roderick gave a nod. "So you know he is a little weird"

"Yeah, true you're right he is" replied Roderick, with a smile. "So you'll be okay with Sami, if I head back to the others and make sure everything is going okay"

"I'll be okay, yes" replied Olivia, with a nod. "I think Sami and I will get on okay"

"Me too" said Sami, with a small nod also and Roderick looked to his cousin. "And I promise, no more telling her stuff"

"I don't believe that at all" said Roderick, with a laugh and shaking his head. "I'll catch up with at the reception, later on"

"Sure Roddy" replied Sami, with a smile to him. "Olivia, can sit bride side with us for the ceremony"

"Thanks" he replied, with a nod and looked to Olivia. "See you later" he continued, quickly kissing her to the cheek. "I'll come and talk with you once Kits and Artie are married"

"Okay" said Olivia, with a smile to him, and then Roderick headed back to where he'd been prior to her arrival and Sami looked to her.

"So do you want to head in with me and I can introduce you to some of the others that you've not met yet?" asked Sami, and Olivia looked to her.

"Sure that would be good" she replied, with a smile to her; and the two of then headed to where the wedding was going to be held, and Sami introduced Olivia to the remaining Kapowski family, and others that she knew that were also in attendance that she had yet to meet.

Later that day, with Kitty and Artie having married and the reception being in full swing; Olivia was sitting at the table she had been placed on, talking with both Kendrix and Sami.

"That would have been so funny to see" said Olivia, with a laugh as Kendrix gave a nod.

"It was, yeah" she replied, with a smile; as Roderick came over to them and looked to Olivia and his two cousins. "Hmm, speak of" said Kendrix, with a smile to him and Roderick looked to his slightly older cousin.

"Umm, what you talking about?" he asked, as Kendrix looked to him with a smile and Sami laughed. "Oh, man"

"Don't worry, it's nothing bad" said Olivia, looking to her boyfriend and Roderick looked to her. "They were just telling me about something that honestly had nothing to do with you"

"Okay" replied Roderick, looking to both his cousins, who in turn both smiled at him.

"We were telling Liv, something about Kitty when she was younger" said Sami, as Roderick looked to her with a nod. "The catwoman suit, and how she apparently according to something Artie said, still has it and the rest of us not wanting to know things like that"

"Yeah, I totally agree there" said Roderick, with a laugh and nod. "Not stuff I need to be knowing about my sister and now brother in law"

"Hmm" said Kendrix, with a nod as Roderick looked to his girlfriend.

"Did you want to dance?" he asked, as Olivia gave a nod.

"Thought you were never going to ask?" she replied, with a small laugh and smile as Roderick also gave a laugh.

"Well my duties as one of Artie's groomsmen are pretty much over" he replied, with a smile to her. "So if my cousins don't mind my stealing you away for a dance or two" he continued, looking to them. "Then, yeah"

"Don't mind at all" said Sami, shaking her head as Olivia stood from her seat and Roderick took her hand, and lead her to the dance floor.

"So having an okay time?" asked Roderick, as the two of them went to where others were also dancing and started to also dance themselves.

"Yeah, your cousins are really nice" replied Olivia, with a nod. "As are your aunt and uncle too"

"Hmm yeah they are" said Roderick, with a small nod also; as someone came over and tapped him to the shoulder and turning to look saw one of his cousins from Eric's side standing there. "Hey Spence" he said, with a smile to him. "What's up?"

"Nothing" he replied, shaking his head. "Except that you have not yet properly introduced your girl here to me"

"Yeah, right" said Roderick, with a laugh and nod and looked to Olivia with a smile. "This is Spencer one of my cousins on my dad's side" he continued, as Olivia nodded and looked to Spencer with a small smile, as Roderick also looked back to his cousin. "And this is Olivia, my girlfriend"

"Nice to meet you" said Spencer with a nod and smile to her. "Not sure what you see in Paddington" he continued, as Roderick groaned and Spencer looked to him with a laugh and smile. "But it is really nice to finally get to meet you"

"You too" replied Olivia, with a nod and smile and then looked back to Roderick. "And I'm guessing there's a story behind the what guessing is a nickname"

"There is" said Roderick, with a small sigh and looked to Spencer shaking his head; who in turn laughed. "When I was younger, I had this bear that I would take everywhere with me" he continued, looking back to Olivia, who nodded with a smile. "And whilst it wasn't a Paddington Bear; I somehow from the family got nicknamed Paddington"

"It was also because he was a bit of a butter ball as well" said Spencer, with a laugh. "And a little on the pudgy side" he continued, poking his cousin in the side. "Still is as well"

"We all can't be football players" said Roderick, with a small frown to his cousin. "Or grow up on a military base"

"Hey, don't get on the defensive Paddy" said Spencer, looking to him. "I'd kill to be able to have half the talent you have, with music and drawing"

"Yeah, you're right you are a bit of a bone head" said Roderick, with a smile and small laugh; and Spencer looked him to shaking his head.

"Maybe, but I am the best looking one out of all us guys" he replied, with a smile and looked to Olivia. "What you reckon?" he asked. "Am I a stud or what?"

"Umm, you're okay looking" replied Olivia, with a small nod. "But I am not sure what else you're getting at"

"Hmm, nothing actually" replied Spencer, with a small laugh. "I just like giving Rod, a hard time"

"Yeah, thanks for that" said Roderick, with a small laugh. "You done now"

"I think so" replied Spencer, with a nod. "I'm going to go and annoy Miks and Marls" he said, with a laugh. "Need to find out when Rosie, will be having a baby now"

"If she tells you anything" said Roderick, looking to his cousin. "Let us know, because we've not been able to get anything from her in regards to that"

"Roger that, Paddy" said Spencer, giving a somewhat salute to his cousin and looked to Olivia. "Nice to meet you"

"Same" said Olivia, with a nod as Spencer walked away from the two of them. "He's interesting"

"Yeah, he's an odd one" replied Roderick, with a laugh as the song the two of them had been dancing too finished, and he quickly looked around the reception. "Come on, I'll introduce you to my aunt and uncle on my dad's side and also Clint and Joe too"

"Sure, okay" said Olivia, with a smile to him; and Roderick took her to meet the rest of his family, being that of the Kapowski side as the wedding of Artie and Kitty, continued well into the evening before they all then made their way home.

Heading back to Greenville, a two hour drive from Lexington, and with Olivia staying the night at his apartment, and her driving since he had stayed the night before at Artie and Kitty's house. Olivia pulled her car into the visitor parking area and turned off the ignition.

"Hmm, thank god that's over" said Roderick, with a small sigh and Olivia looked to him with a small laugh.

"It wasn't that bad" she replied, as the two of them got out of the car and she also opening the trunk of the car, grabbed her overnight bag. "I do think you all made Kitty out to be worse than she really was in the bridezilla department"

"Not that" said Roderick, with a small laugh also as the two of them headed up to the front door of the apartment block and inside the building. "These shoes are killing my feet"

"Oh, well you could have taken them off in the car" replied Olivia, with a small laugh as well and as she and Roderick headed up the stairs to his apartment on the second floor. "I wouldn't have minded"

"It's okay" he replied, with a smile to her as he unlocked the door to his place and the two of them walked inside. "Just now I can get this suit and shoes off, and get into something much more comfortable"

"Well, if you want to go and do that" said Olivia, with a smile to him as Roderick looked to her. "I'll make us some tea, so we can both just relax"

"Yeah, that sounds amazing" he replied, with a nod and Olivia nodded as Roderick headed into his bedroom to go and change clothes.

Walking into the small kitchen area, and knowing where most things were since she had been to the apartment before, albeit never having stayed the night though. Olivia turned the kettle on, and then opened the small cupboard near the sink and grabbed out the cups from there; before looking at the two teas that Roderick had on the bench along side that of his coffee machine.

Choosing the Charleston Plantation tea and placing a teabag into each cup, she sighed as she waited for the kettle to finish boiling.

"Finding everything okay?" aske Roderick, as he walked into his small kitchen area and Olivia turned to him with a nod.

"Yeah, all good" she replied, with a smile to him and Roderick gave a nod also.

"If you were wanting to slip into something that's a little more comfortable" said Roderick, as she looked to him. "Then I can finish making the tea"

"Umm, I only have my pajamas" said Olivia, with a small smile to her boyfriend of a few months. "So it's all good, I can put them on when we do go to sleep"

"If you were wanting to be more comfortable now though" replied Roderick, with a smile to her also. "I'm sure your pajamas are perfectly fine to wear"

"They are" said Olivia, with a small nod. "It's just this is the first time I am going to be staying the night at your place" she continued, as Roderick looked to her with a small smile and nod also. "And it's making me a little nervous"

"If you're thinking I am going to be expecting something to happen" said Roderick, looking to his girlfriend and also taking her hand and giving it a light squeeze. "Then, you can relax" he continued, as Olivia looked to him. "Because I'm not like that, and to be honest I don't know if I am all that ready either to be going there"

"I just thought when you said stay the night" said Olivia, as the kettle finished boiling. "That it meant you were wanting to take our relationship to that next step"

"Of course, I do hope it will go there eventually" he replied, as Olivia gave a small nod. "I just don't want you to think it's all I am thinking this between us will be"

"No, I didn't think that at all" replied Olivia shaking her head. "And I know we've spent the night together before, when we stayed at my brother's place" she continued, as Roderick gave a nod. "Just we've not yet taken that step, and like I said I am nervous for when maybe it does happen"

"Me too" said Roderick, with a smile to her. "And we'll go at a pace that is the right one for the both of us"

"Okay, yeah" said Olivia, with a nod. "I'd like that" she continued, as Roderick gave a nod also. "I might go and put my sleep clothes on"

"Okay" replied Roderick, with a smile to her. "And I'll make the teas for us" he continued, as she looked to him with a smile. "And we can talk a bit before, getting some sleep"

"We can do that, yeah" said Olivia, with a nod as she went and grabbed her overnight bag and then walked into Roderick's bedroom to change from her dress into pajamas; and Roderick finished making the teas for them, before the two of them talked a bit, before then heading to bed to sleep; not yet taking their relationship to the intimate level, but each knowing even though they were not there in regards to it yet, that they did, in fact, have a special someone now in their live; and one that they each could definitely see a forever with.

End Note: Just to clarify, Roderick and Olivia have only being together for about four months at this point; and whilst they have spent the night together at her brother's place when they went to Columbia (and this also where we learn that Hartley, Olivia's older brother; is dating Patty, who Sebastian once dated) they have not yet taken their relationship to the intimate level.

I do think, they both will take that time in having that happen and also too just go in their relationship at their own pace and what they both feel comfortable with.

Thanks always for reading, and I will catch you with another update soon.

Love always, KJ xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
