A/N: Melinda's song! This one is called "I'd Choose You Again," and it's by the Forrester sisters. Funny thing is, the sister that sings lead on this song has a really similar voice to Tamera Tunie, so I think that's just what Melinda would sound like when she sings! Crazy!

"Hey y'all! We've got a 25th anniversary in the house tonight!" The crowd cheered noisily. "Where'd Melinda go?" he asks. Melinda gets up from the table and heads for the stage.

"I didn't know it was your anniversary," I say to Henry.

"Not today. Tuesday. 25 years I've been married to that beautiful girl," Henry says; a touch of amazement in his voice.

"That's gonna be me someday," Elliot whispers in my ear. I turn and smile at him, kissing him softly.

"Hope so," I say. "If I let you live that long."

He laughs and kisses my forehead. "You will."

"You guys, we have had so much fun tonight, but the hubby and I are getting old, so I think we're done after this song. But first, I want to dedicate it to my wonderful husband Henry. Thank you for the best 25 years and the three greatest kids of my life, baby. I love you," she says, blowing him a kiss as she begins to sing.

Looking in my life through the eyes of a young girl
Growing older all the time, maybe just a little wiser
I can clearly see all my mistakes keep coming back to visit me
Pointing out the roads not taken
So much I'd like to change but one thing I'd do the same

"I'd choose you again, I'd choose you again," she sings as her eyes lock on her husband.


If God gave me the chance to do it all again
Oh, I'd carefully consider every choice and then


"Out of all the boys in the world," she grins


I'd choose you again

Times weren't always good
Seems like the Lord gave all the easy parts away
But every time the road got rocky
You'd look at me and say
Had all you needed long as I was there with you
You're the reason I kept going
If I could start my life anew
The first thing that I would do

I'd choose you again, I'd choose you again
If God gave me the chance to do it all again
Oh, I'd carefully consider every choice and then
Out of all the boys in the world


"I'd choose you again," I smile gently at Elliot who's rubbing his hand up and down my back at the words of the song.

I'd choose you again, I'd choose you again
If God gave me the chance to do it all again
Oh, I'd carefully consider every choice and then

"I'd listen to my heart and I'd choose you again," Melinda sings.

Elliot kisses my cheek gently. "I love you, Liv," he says

"I love you too," I reply, resting my head on his shoulder.

"You again, you again," her eyes drift shut as she finishes out the song to thunderous applause.

"Wow," I breathe. "That was awesome. I had no idea she could sing like that."

"She put herself through medical school singing in a band," Henry explained.

"Seriously?" Elliot asks, totally flabbergasted at the idea of our straight-laced medical examiner singing in smoky bars.

"Crazy, huh?" Henry asks with a grin. "I met her when I was bartending at a place a couple blocks off campus."

Melinda comes back to the table and grabs her purse. "Ready, honey?" she asks, pure love shining from her brown eyes.

"Whenever you are," Henry grins back, placing his hand at the small of her back.

"This was a great idea, guys," Melinda says, pulling me, Casey, and Tiff into a hug.

"Yeah, we'll have to do it again," I agree.

"I had fun," Henry says.

"Really?" Casey asks.

"Yeah. Did you guys have fun?" he questions the other three guys.

"Yeah," Elliot says begrudgingly.

"I guess," John agrees.

"Oh, it was okay," Fin says with a smile, earning him a punch in the shoulder from Tiffani. "Best night of my life," he rephrases.

"That's better," Tiffani grins.

I stand up, stretching my arms over my head to stretch out my back. Can't sit on a bar stool for five hours like I could in college.

"Ready, honey?" Fin asks.

Tiffani nods with a yawn and lays her head on Fin's shoulder.

"Goodnight, guys," Fin says, leading his fiancée to the door, right behind Henry and Melinda.

I wave as they head to their vehicles.

"Are you ready to go?" Elliot asks me, a very distinct look in his eye. Oh lord.

"Whenever you are, sweetheart," I say with a grin, mentally rolling my eyes at him.
