Chapter 14
Three days later, the SVU team plans an engagement party for Amanda and Declan. They decide that the party will be at a restaurant that has the best food besides Amanda's father's restaurant. Tony is happy to be planning his daughter's engagement party. He can't wait to see the look on his daughter's face.
"I can't believe my little girl's going to have an engagement party." Tony says.
"Mr. Rollins, we're glad that you decided to plan Amanda's engagement party." Olivia says.
Fin and Carisi get the decorations ready so that the party will begin. All of Amanda and Declan's friends and family will be at the party. The only three people that won't be at the party are, Tony's fiancée since she's living in another state temporarily, Amanda's mother and her sister. Fin sees Amanda and Declan coming into the restaurant holding hands.
"Amanda and Murphy are coming." Fin says.
"Everyone, get into your positions." Tony says.
Amanda and Declan find the decorations and they wonder what's going on. They don't know what to think or say. The gang comes out of hiding and they surprise Amanda and Declan.
"Surprise!" Everyone yells.
"Who's idea was this?" Amanda asks.
"It was your father's idea. We celebrated his engagement party last night with Carisi's cooking so we thought that we celebrate your too." Olivia replies.
Amanda and Declan realize that her father planned the entire party for them. The last time he planned a party for his daughter was when she got her bachelor's degree in forensic science.
"Thank you, Daddy." Amanda says to her father.
"Your father might be a restaurant owner but he sure knows how to plan a party." Declan says.
Amanda, Declan and the gang sit down at the table and they eat the food that's party of the party. Everyone is happy to be there. Baby Jesse is having fun at the party too. She just sits at her high chair and stares at everyone. After the food is gone, the party guests decide to have some fun by listening to music.
"This is a great party." Fin says.
"I can't believe that Rollins is getting married." Carisi says.
The party guests are happy that Amanda and Declan are getting married. Amanda has always wanted a nice wedding since she was a little girl. Her father is going to be getting married a few days after the party. He wants to plan everything else for his daughter without her knowing.
"We did the engagement photos and we sent them to our friends and family." Amanda and Declan tell everyone.
"My mom and sister didn't get a photo but my dad's fiancée did." Amanda says.
Amanda is relieved that she didn't send her mother and her sister the engagement photos. Amanda did send her mother a picture of Jesse. The gang agrees that Amanda made the right choice not to send the engagement photos to her mother and her sister.
"You did the right thing. After what you went through with your mom and your sister, they don't deserve an engagement photo from you. Your father has been your rock ever since you reunited with him." Carisi says.
"My daddy's going to have a new wife in a few days." Amanda says.
The gang get back to the party and continue dancing. A few hours later, the gang leave the restaurant to go home. Amanda and Declan leave the restaurant together holding hands and they take baby Jesse home with them. They had fun at the party. Amanda and Declan lean in for a kiss. A few days later, Tony goes to Turks and Caicos and he marries the woman that he met in rehab. His daughter is unable to attend the wedding. After their honeymoon, Tony brings his new wife Christina Rollins to live in New York with him so that he can be close to his daughter.
