Olivia nodded and took a deep breath. "Casey Julianne Novak will you marry me?"
"YES! OF COURSE! I DO! I WILL! I LOVE YOU!" Casey screamed.
"What's with all the screaming?" James asked as he entered the kitchen.
"Your little sister's getting married."
"What?! Before me?"
"Oh my god and you asked her parents first?" Olivia nodded. "That's so sweet and romantic." Olivia blushed. "Why don't you ever do anything that romantic for me?" Melanie slapped James on the arm.
"Now look what you've gone and done." James told Olivia.
"Oh shut up James. It's not her fault you're an unromantic boob." Everyone in the room laughed except James.
"I'm romantic."
"Yeah whatever, I don't consider me making dinner and you wanting to have sex after romantic." James gave Melanie an incredulous look. "Again I say unromantic boob."
"What's going on in here?" Asked Kellie.
"Casey and Olivia are getting married."
"Congratulations." Casey and Olivia smiled. "So got a date picked out yet?" Liv shook her head. "Well might I suggest December?"
"Sure, but why December?" Casey asked a little confused.
"Because it's soon, the snow, it's prefect."
"That does sound nice but there are a few problems with that, one the freezing cold, two it's less than a month away and I don't have a dress, and last but not least where are we going to find a place in December?"
"You could use my wedding dress honey." Casey smiled at the thought of wearing her mother's dress. Stacey looked at David and he nodded knowing exactly what his wife was thinking. "And as for the place you could always have it here we wouldn't mind in fact we'd love if we could be apart of it."
Casey looked at Olivia hopefully. Casey wanted her family to be apart of her wedding but if Olivia had other plans that would be fine with her to because after all Liv was the one who had proposed and Liv wasn't the type of person to do things half-assed. "What do you think honey?"
Olivia smiled a small sad smile. This wasn't exactly what she had planned but if it would make Casey that was all that mattered. "Sounds great."
Casey could sense that something was wrong even though no one in Casey's family noticed.
"Well then we'll get started on the arrangements bright and early tomorrow morning."
"No mom." Stacey looked at her daughter with a surprised confused look. "Baby, if this isn't what you want just tell me." Olivia looked up at Casey.
"It's what you want so it's okay."
"Liv! Talk to me sweetie."
"It's just not what I had in mind."
"Well what did you have in mind? Maybe we can come up with a compromise."
"I wanted to get married in Canada." Casey looked at Olivia in confusion. Olivia sighed. "It's legal for gay couples to get married there and I just want it to be legal somewhere. I wanted you to know that this more than just a commitment to me I want you to be my wife legally even if it's just in Canada."
"Oh honey. I love you so much and that sounds great." A thought popped into Casey's head. "Why don't we do both?" Now it was Olivia's turn to look at Casey in confusion. "We could get married in Canada just you and me and whatever witnesses we need and then have a commitment ceremony down here with our family and friends." Olivia smiled. Casey looked at her. "Yeah?" Olivia nodded. "Good it's settled. Now mom you can start making arrangements in the morning."
Stacey stared at her daughter and her daughter's fiancée in bewilderment. 'Casey was the only one that noticed that Liv wasn't being completely honest. Wow they'd both give up their dreams to make the other happy now that's what I call love. '
"Mom? Mom? Mom, are you okay?"
"Huh, I'm fine. Just thinking. So do you know who you guys want to invite?"
Olivia looked ay Casey and smiled. Casey knew who Liv was going to invite. "It's going to be a lot of guys but we have to invite them." Olivia laughed. As Casey started to rattle off the names of their co-workers. "Well there's Don, George, Fin, Munch…"
"Fin? Munch?" Casey's mom asked.
Casey and Liv laughed. "Fin is short for Odafin and Munch is John's last name. Last of the guys but certainly not the least Elliot of course." Casey smiled at Liv.
"Of course, don't forget about Kathy and the kids. Serena, Megan, Alex Eames and who am I forgetting?"
"Alex?"
"She already said Alex."
Something hit Casey. "Mom we know a lot of Alex's."
Liv started to laugh because they knew at least three. "I'll leave that one up to you. Do you want to invite Branch, Mary or Donnelly?" Liv stated when she stopped laughing.
"Yeah it would only be fair if we invite Don to invite them and as for Alex I think that we should invite her."
"If you say so."
"I'm guessing Alex is an ex?" Olivia nodded. "I'm also guessing you two are still friends?"
"Kind of. It's complicated, she left then she came back then she left and came back again. She didn't tell me she came back the last time I didn't find out until Casey told me. And then I was even angrier at her than I was before, until the whole Sarah thing and I haven't really spoken to her since."
"What Sarah thing? Casey?"
"Sarah just dropped by unexpectedly. She said that she wanted me back and that we belonged together. I told her to get lost. Liv was waiting for me outside, when I guess Alex walked by."
"Why didn't you tell us Sarah was back?"
"Why? There wasn't much point. I was never going to take her back I had and still have Liv. And nothing she said or did would have changed my mind." Casey smiled at Liv. Liv smiled back.
"Okay so forget about Sarah already. How did the two of you first meet and when did you two fall in love?" Asked Lillian.
Liv let out a sigh of relief that Lillian hadn't asked about their first date. And Casey caught the gesture smiled and squeezed Liv's hand. "Well let's just say it wasn't the best start. I do believe that my first words to you were 'Who the hell are you?" Casey nodded remembering the day. It was her first day and she showed up to the crime scene to get a better feel for what she was getting herself into. She didn't think that she'd be getting in the way and once she saw Olivia she didn't want to leave.
"You told my sister that?!" James was getting mad.
"You have to understand Alex had just…We'll let's say she just left and she had been our ADA for the past four years and we were all used to the way she did things and trying to be there while we were processing a crime scene was not something she did often."
"That's no excuse to be rude to my sister."
"James shut up. It was my fault. I was getting in the way but I had a good reason." Casey smiled at Liv.
"So anyway I knew that I loved her from what I always say day five. She on the other hand says that she loved me from the first time I spoke to her even though I asked her 'Who the hell are you.'" Liv said with a smile.
"So let me get this straight she was rude to you and you still fell in love with her?"
"Well I knew there had to be a reason for her hostility that she couldn't just be mad at me for getting in her way especially after the line up conversation. And I vowed that if I stayed with SVU I'd figure what it was."
Olivia wrinkled her eyebrows in confusion. "What do you mean if you stayed with SVU?"
"I didn't tell you this especially after your reaction to Sarah and you already felt bad about when I first got there so I decided it was better not to tell you, but after we found Courtney I wanted to quit I told Branch I didn't want it, he told me 'Don't worry you will.'" Olivia looked at Casey her eyes asking 'Why?' "Because I couldn't let go of what she went through, believe me baby it had nothing to do with you." Olivia nodded but looked like she was going to cry so Casey got up sat in her lap and gave her a hug. "I love you." She whispered and hugged Olivia again. "Branch was right of course I did want it but for very different reasons."
"Wow. So from dislike to love in less than a week? But how come it took you two so long to get together?"
"Well that was my fault. I was afraid that she might not feel the same way. I didn't even know if she was a lesbian or not especially after the Tate case."
"What happened with the Tate case?"
Casey pulled back and looked at Olivia. "How did you know about that?"
"I was going to ask you out then but I over heard what you said to Ian and I just left. Then later it seemed like you were flirting and I hoped…" Olivia trailed off.
"Yeah about that we were on the courthouse steps and I was still fairly new I wasn't about to out myself to thousands of passerby's and maybe Branch if he happened to be walking by at that particular moment."
"I figured that."
"Wait a minute you were going to ask me out then?" Liv nodded. "Damn it you mean we could have been together longer?" Liv nodded again. "Oh well at least I have you now and forever." Casey kissed Olivia passionately.
Casey forgot about their audience until James said "Oooh, kissy, kissy, kissy."
Melanie slapped him up side his head. "What are you five? Would one of you please explain the Tate case or at least what you two are talking about?"
Casey laughed. "Ian Tate was this gay kid whose homophobic father killed his boyfriend and I pled him out, but anyway we were talking and he said that his boyfriend James said 'Guys are so much more fun.' And I said 'Yeah I agree with James. I had no idea you were standing there and if I'd known I wouldn't have said it." Casey mock pouted. "Do you forgive me?"
Liv smiled. "How could I not?" This time Liv kissed Casey. When they broke apart Liv whispered in Casey's ear. "Do you think we could call it a night?"
Case looked at Liv knowingly and nodded. "Okay so I think that that's it for us were going to call it a night." Casey got off of Liv's lap and gave everyone a hug then she pulled Olivia to her feet. "Good night everyone." She said as she dragged Olivia into her bedroom.
