The Wedding
19 Months Later
"Jake! Calm down and stop pacing. You are making me dizzy," Elliot told his son as Jake paced the length of his father's office.
"Calm down? Calm down? Dad, I'm getting married tomorrow. I can't calm down!"
Elliot got up from his desk and intercepted his son, "Jake, you really need to calm down. I was a nervous wreck before I married your mother, but you're behaving like you think Becca is gonna change her mind. She loves you, you love her, don't worry."
Jake looked up at his father, "I know, but I just can't believe that it is tomorrow. I just have so much nervous energy. I mean I can't wait to marry her. I love her with every part of me, but the actual ceremony is nerve racking. I just can't get my mind to turn off."
"I know, I know. The same thing happened to me. But, you do need to remember that I have been through this and I know that once you are at the end of the aisle and see Becca, all the nervousness will go away."
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
Before Elliot could say anything else, one of his detectives knocked on the door to his office, "Come in," he announced.
"Captain"
"What can I do for you Johnson?" (a/n: Marcus Johnson – Replaced Elliot as Liv's partner)
"The labs came back on the Gates case."
"Okay, and…?"
"It cleared the boyfriend. We are back at square one. You got any ideas?"
Elliot rolled his eyes and sighed, "Great! This is just what I need right now. Where is Olivia?"
"She is on the phone. Someone named Becca I think. She kept mentioning the wedding, so I am assuming that she is his fiancé?" he asked motioning to Jake.
Elliot nodded, "Stay here Jake." He walked out into the bullpen and indeed found Olivia on the phone. He turned to Munch and Fin, "John, Fin, is there anyone else we were looking at in the Gates case?"
John looked at some notes from his desk, "Just a weird neighbor. Couldn't shake this odd feeling he gave me. Didn't really have an alibi for the time of the attack."
"Okay, well go back and talk to him again. Ask my politely to volunteer a DNA sample. We need to close this because we are NOT working tomorrow."
"Yes sir," Fin said as he and John left the squadroom.
By the time Elliot was done with the boys, Olivia was off the phone and Marcus had moved to his desk to do paperwork. Elliot turned to his wife, "What did Becca want?"
Olivia rolled her eyes, "Nothing really. She is just nervous and wanted to talk. It is hard for her. Her mom died when she was little, so she doesn't really have a woman to talk to. She just needed to be reassured that everything is gonna be okay." Elliot chuckled, "What?" Olivia asked.
"Nothing. Jake is pacing my office needing the same thing. He showed up about an hour ago. Hasn't stopped pacing since, giving me such a headache."
Olivia stood up and wrapped her arms around her husband's neck. Elliot reciprocated by wrapping his arms around her waist. "What are we gonna do with those two?"
Elliot shook his head, "I have no clue. We should just kidnap them, take them to the courthouse and not worry about this whole big ceremony thing. That will calm them both down and I can get all my money back," he finished with a grin.
Olivia rolled her eyes and swatted him on the chest, "That wasn't very nice. They are going to be fine. Now, go back to your office and calm your son down some more. Make sure he knows that the rehearsal is at 7:30. That goes for you too, you will NOT be late."
The Next Day
Olivia woke up to the sensation of Elliot's lips on the back of her neck. She smiled and rolled over in his arms to face him.
"Good Morning Gorgeous," Elliot greeted with a kiss.
"Morning," she replied returning the kiss.
Elliot ran his hand up her back and treaded his fingers through her hair. He pulled her back towards him and immediately took her into a deep passionate kiss. He rolled so he was hovering over her and continued worshiping her mouth with his own. Olivia threw her arms around his neck and held him close to her. Elliot's hand found its way under her shirt and was caressing her stomach, side and breasts. As he was pulling at her shirt to remove it, he heard little feet coming toward the room. He rolled off of her just in time for there to be a short knock and then two flying four year olds coming toward the bed.
Elliot groaned as his only daughter landed on his stomach, "Good Morning baby girl," he managed to breathe out.
"Hi Daddy!" Elyse greeted her father.
"What's up little man?" Olivia asked Gage.
Gage grinned, "Mornin' Momma."
"I get to wear my pwitty dwess today daddy!" Elyse cheered.
"Yes you do girly! Are you excited to Jake and Becca get married?"
Both children nodded excitedly. Elliot and Olivia smiled at their youngest rugrats.
"Who is ready for a bath?" Olivia asked.
Elyse and Gage whined, jumped off the bed and ran downstairs to the living room. Elliot chuckled, "I guess they don't want one. But I will take a bath if I get your help," he smirked and wiggled his eyebrows.
Olivia rolled her eyes and slapped him playfully on the arm, "No! Right now you need to wake up your son and get your little monkey in the tub." Elliot just sat there smiling and trying to get a kiss, "Move it Mister!"
"Okay, okay, I'm going. But can I get a kiss?" he asked in a fake pout. Olivia glared at him but gave him a short kiss on the cheek. Elliot frowned, pulled some sweats on over his boxers and made his way toward Luke's room.
Elliot walked into Luke's room and tried to navigate his way to the bed without hurting himself. Luke's room was a disaster area and Elliot needed to remember to make him clean it up after the wedding. He made his way to his son's bed and put his hand on Luke's shoulder, "Luke, Luke get up."
Luke groaned and pulled his comforter over his head.
"No son, you have to get up. We need to meet Jake in an hour. Get up!" he pulled the covers off of Luke and chuckled as Luke struggled against the cold.
Luke opened his eyes and glared at his father. Elliot laughed, "Get up, take a shower and get dressed. We need to leave soon!"
"Fine." Luke rolled out of bed and went straight to the bathroom across from his room.
Elliot ventured his way downstairs to see if he could find his little monkey. He found him on the couch watching Bob the Builder with his sister. Elliot walked to the back of the couch, grabbed up his son and tossed him over his shoulder. Gage squealed and Elyse laughed.
"C'mon monkey, we need to get a shower. We are going to see Jake soon."
"Okay," Gage relented.
The two went upstairs and showered together to save time. Elliot got Gage dressed and sent him downstairs then dressed himself. Once all three boys were dressed and ready, they said their good-byes and went to meet Jake at the hotel.
4 Hours Later - The Ceremony
Jake stood at the altar with his father as his best man, his best friend Cody and his brother Luke as his groomsmen. The doors to the back of the church opened and he smiled as Gage and Elyse walked down the aisle as the ring bearer and flower girl. After watching the brides maids and the maid-of-honor, Sam, walk down the aisle, Jake couldn't help but smile larger as he anticipated seeing Becca. Jake was floored as Becca made her way down the aisle Becca took her place beside Jake and joined hand with him.
Neither really listened to the minister, but once it was time to recite their vows, each was very attentive.
Jake went first:
Becca – When we met I was in a dark place in my life. I had lost my father only five years prior and had just moved to a new city. You came into my life and I found out what it was like to be happy again. You stuck with me through the anniversaries of his death and his birthday. You were also there when we found him again, and for that I love you even more. I love you with all my heart and I cannot see my life without you. We have made it through a move across the country, another scary shooting in my life and three years of college. You complete me, heart and soul. I promise from this day forth to be there when you need me, to be your net when you are falling and to stay with you in time of doubt and worry. I love you so much and I am so glad to be standing here today with you.
Becca wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at Jake:
Jake – I love you so much that it hurts. It is the best hurt that I have ever felt and I want to feel it everyday for the rest of my life. You have been my rock through many things including my mother's death. While I may have helped you through some tough times, you help me get through every day. You define love and compassion and I could not as for anything more. Today I promise you that we will grow old together and be next to each other in life and in death. I plan to devote my whole life to showing you just how much you mean to me. I love you with all of my heart and I will until the day I die.
Olivia wiped a tear from her eye and looked at her husband standing next to her son. Elliot's eyes had a layer of tears threatening to fall as well.
"The rings please," the Priest asked.
Gage walked to him and handed him the two wedding bands he had been keeping safe for his brother and soon to be sister.
"Jake, please repeat after me…"
"I Elliot Jacob Stabler Jr take you Rebecca Kathryn Stone…"
"I Elliot Jacob Stabler Jr take you Rebecca Kathryn Stone…"
"To be my lawfully wedded wife…"
"To be my lawfully wedded wife…"
"For richer and poorer, For better or for worse, For sickness and in health, Til death do us part…"
"For richer and poorer, For better or for worse, For sickness and in health, Til death do us part…"
"Now take the ring and place it one her finger…With this ring I thee wed."
"With this ring I thee wed."
"Becca, please repeat after me…"
"I Rebecca Kathryn Stone take you Elliot Jacob Stabler Jr…"
"I Rebecca Kathryn Stone take you Elliot Jacob Stabler Jr…"
"To be my lawfully wedded husband…"
"To be my lawfully wedded husband…"
"For richer and poorer, For better or for worse, For sickness and in health, Til death do us part…"
"For richer and poorer, For better or for worse, For sickness and in health, Til death do us part…"
"Now take the ring and place it one his finger…With this ring I thee wed."
"With this ring I thee wed."
"With the power vest in my by God and the state of New York, I pronounce you man and wife…Jake you may kiss your bride."
Jake smiled, lifted Becca's veil and placed a loving kiss on her lips.
They turned to their friends and family, took each other's hand and walked down the aisle to a car that was going to take them to the reception.
