A/N I feel like I have to apologize yet again for letting y'all wait so long for the next chapter. I'm still dealing with a major writer's block and I don't seem to be able to write for this story and for 'Behind the scenes and on the screen'. I'm not quitting or giving up on these two stories but I just can't find a way to write for them.
For, I think, obvious reasons this chapter is very short. However, I couldn't let y'all waiting for it any longer so I decided to split up the chapter as I had it in mind and update this part.
This chapter ain't beta read as I don't have a beta reader currently, I don't want to waste her time and let her wait for ages to beta read a new chapter. So all the mistakes are entirely my own and I'm the only one to blame for making them.
I want to thank each and everyone of you that still sticks with me and this story, for leaving reviews and encourage me, or ask me, for a new chapter.
Without y' all I wouldn't be writing or trying to write for it anymore. Since I'm at a point that I'm banging my head at the wall, so to speak, and fighting against the thought to quit writing. It are you, my loyal readers, that keeps me from doing that and wanting to keep writing and get passed my writer's block.
Alright, let's go back to the story...
Chapter 52
"Don't let me get me." - P!nk.
~~~ O O O ~~~
"Are you sure she's in the other room? You're not lying to me are you?" Oliver asked nervously.
Jane rolled her eyes inside her head. She lost count after Oliver asked her the same questions for the tenth time.
"Do you want me to go and check if she's there?" Jane asked, as she already knew the answer.
"You don't mind going and look, do you?" Oliver asked.
"No Oli, I don't mind. Don't worry and stop being so nervous. I'm pretty sure she's there. But I'll go and look for you anyway. Be right back," Jane answered.
~~~ A A A ~~~
The Italian brunette walked out the room and closed the door behind her and nodded at Detective Randolph. Then she walked to the other end of the hallway.
Since both Alex and Oliver were working for law enforcement, and given the fact that Oliver was still recovering from the shooting and other events that had happened, they had decided to have some security at their wedding ceremony and reception. So that their friends and family could enjoy the day with them instead of needing to pay attention to uninvited guests who wanted to cause either one of them harm. They were some Detectives from Brooklyn SVU who were befriended with the Detective and offered their help when they heard that the brunette Detective and the ADA were going to get married. Oliver trusted them professionally so he gratefully accepted their offer. All the detectives were dressed as the other guest would dress for a wedding except they were wearing wireless earpieces and mic's. In the garden where Alex and Oliver would say ' I Do', near every door opening was sitting a detective and in front of both Alex's and Oliver's dressing room door was standing a Detective too. So there were 5 detectives in total who would be there to protect them here and later in the room where their reception would be.
When Jane crossed the hallway she nodded at Detective Toloy, who was standing in front of Alex's dressing room, and knocked on the door.
"Who's there?" Abby asked.
"Who do you think it is?" Jane asked, as she rolled her eyes.
Abby opened the door to let Jane inside.
"Let me make an educated guess, you're here to check if Alex didn't leave in the past 10 minutes," Abby said, as she felt sorry for her girlfriend.
"What else could I be for here. Oli is driving me crazy. You would think it would be the other way around that Alex here would be as nervous and insecure as he is. He's not so much Bad ass anymore right now," Jane sighed.
Alex felt sorry for their friend, she knew Oliver would be scared that she left him standing at the altar. Not that there was even the slightest chance for that to happen, not in a million years would she left him standing there. Nothing could stop her for marrying the love of her life. Suddenly Alex lifted her head up at a thought.
"You know I could make a video for Liv that Jane could show him. With only my face being visible for him. It won't take long to put on my make up again so we have time to do that," Alex offered.
Jane looked like she could kiss the blonde ADA right there and then. Relieved and thankful for the idea the blonde just offered.
"That's a brilliant idea, but are you sure that you have time to do this. Not that I'm trying to talk you out of it, that would be the most stupid thing I could do right now," Jane asked hopefully.
"Yes we have the time to do this. Oli helped me not to get worried of him getting cold feet and leave, now it's my turn to help him with him being nervous. There's nothing that could keep me from marrying my Detective," Alex answered.
~~~ O O O ~~~
Meanwhile inside Oliver's dressing room.
Oliver was pacing from one side of the room to the other and back when the Detective's cellphone went off. For a moment the brunette thought about whether or not to answer his cellphone and decided to look at the caller – id to see who it was and then decide to pick up or not. Oliver raised his eyebrow when he saw who it was before he answered his cellphone.
"Kathy is something wrong? Aren't you sitting inside?" Oliver asked, a bit worried.
"Hi Oliver. Don't worry nothing is wrong. No, I'm not there, I was on the call and I got called in due to a major accident. Anyway, that's not what's important. I'm sorry I can't be there for your and Alex's wedding. I really am," Kathy answered
"I understand it Kathy, don't worry about it. It's a shame you miss it but I know all about being on the call with big happenings. Anyway is there a reason you call me now, besides telling me that you can't be here with us?" Oliver asked.
"Yes, there is. The reason why I call, besides telling you that I got called away, is that I'm at the bureau where they schedule surgeries. I was busy with my own planning when I overheard a colleague. I know you want to talk about it with Alex first, probably, but I didn't want to let this opportunity pass by without asking you it. The point is that a surgery is canceled, a mastectomy like you will have and that spot is open right now. I put in a good word for you and if you want it the spot is yours. The only problem is that it's Friday next week, if you don't want it, which I would understand completely since you're on your honeymoon next week, you have to wait again. You'll be on the top of the list though, but still it takes a couple months if there's not another canceled. I know you are about to get married, but I didn't have another opportunity to make this call," Kathy explained.
"You're right, normally I would discus this with Alex first. But I know that Alex would want me to do this and take this chance. So yes, I would love to do it. This is the best wedding gift ever, Kathy. I'm so happy with it. Don't worry about our honeymoon. Alex and I will figure something out, this chance is way to big to let it pass," Oliver answered, almost squealed.
"Alright, I'll tell my colleague that you take the spot. I'm glad I could make it up with you, with this. Again I'm really sorry. I have to get back to work, and I'm sure you have more important things to do right than talking with me. Congratulations Oli, also for Alex. You two belong to each other. Have a beautiful wedding, Benson," Kathy said.
"Thank you Kathy. Alright, go back to work. Thanks for calling Kathy, we will talk when we're back again. Goodbye," Oliver said.
"Goodbye Oli. And again congratulations!" Kathy answered and ended the call.
After the call ended Oliver almost jumped 3 feet in the air and pumped his fist. Suddenly the Detective forgot about being nervous and was with his head in the clouds. He couldn't believe he was this lucky. Alex and him would figure out what they would do with their honeymoon, but like he had told Kathy, Oliver knew that the leggy blonde would want him to do this and right now he wasn't worry about it.
Jane returned to Oliver's room and opened the door just when Oliver pumped his fist into the air. The Italian brunette also did notice the ridiculous big smile on Oliver's face.
"What happened to you, Oli? You are Oliver, aren't you? Because the person I left behind in this room was nervous as hell and worried about his soon to be wife, and you most certainly aren't nervous at this moment, " Jane asked.
Oliver turned around and smiled widely at Jane.
"I got the best news ever! Kathy just called, she was on the call and got called to get back to the hospital. Anyway, she called to tell me that there is a surgery canceled next week and she put in a good word for me. I'm going to have my mastectomy Friday next week. How awesome is that?!" Oliver said.
To say that Jane was surprised would be an understatement. But the Detective also was very happy for Oliver.
"Wow, Oli. That's great news. Congratulations Benson. It seems like this day can't get any better. You probably won't need it anymore now, but I got something for you. Alex made a short video for you to help you stop being nervous. Like I said, you don't need it now but I'll show you it anyway," Jane answered, and pulled out her cellphone.
Jane searched for the video Alex had made on her cellphone and when she found it she gave her phone to the already happy Detective. Oliver watched the video and at the end he was completely mesmerized with the beautiful blonde, and had tears in his eyes.
"This is one of thousands reasons why I love her so much," Oliver said, his voice a bit shaky.
~~~ A/O A/O A/O ~~~
Since Oliver didn't have any relatives him and Alex had decided that the Detective would walk down the isle with his best man, Jane. Both Detectives were in their dress uniform, not just Oliver, as a surprise for both Alex but more for Abby, Jane wore her dress uniform, too. Standing inside in the Liberty House, to walk trough the garden and to the front of the isle, Oliver took a deep breath.
"Are you ready Oliver Alexander Benson?" Jane asked.
Oliver looked outside to the wedding guest and suddenly he felt like the walls were coming closer and surrounded him and he looked at the Italian Detective next to him with his eyebrows frowned...
