When David came home he was surprised to Olivia asleep on the couch with the TV on. Usually she was badgering him about how he always left the lights on when he left a room. He took his jacket off and hung it on the back of a kitchen chair and then went to scoop Olivia up in her arms.

"David?" she mumbled still half asleep.

"Sh, it's okay, I'm just carrying you to the bedroom."

"Okay," she mumbled as she let her head fall back onto his arm as he layed her down on her side of the bed.

It was wedding day and Olivia was nervous as hell. She had gotten up at 5 o'clock and gotten dressed to meet Casey, Melinda, and Alex for an early breakfast before they all got ready to be bridesmaids.

"Are you excited?" Melinda asked as they all sat around a table at the cafe.

"I'm excited and nervous," Olivia admitted as she took a bite of the french toast she ordered, "I just want this day to be perfect."

"If we have anything to do with it it will be," Alex said sipping her caramel latte.

"I can't thank you guys enough for being willing to put on dresses and heels for a day," Olivia teased.

"It'll be good to get out of our work clothes," Melinda said, "I wear scrubs and these two always wear suits."

"That's true," Casey added.

"Everything okay?" Alex asked Olivia when she noticed she was being quieter than usual.

"I'm just so nervous," Olivia answered fumbling with her hands, "I love David and I want to spend the rest of my life with him but, what if something happens?"

"Nothing is going to happen Liv," Alex said, "We are all here for you."

"Thanks."

"It's getting close to time," Melinda chimed in, "We should start heading to the church.

At the church, all the bridesmaid dresses were waiting along with the shoes, makeup and hairstylist. The dresses were hung side by side in a tall standing closet in a back room where their violet color brightened the room.

"These colors are just fantastic," Melinda said as she held the dress up to her.

"David picked these dresses out," Olivia chuckled, "Can somebody help zip me up?"

The girls laughed and Alex made her way over to help Olivia zip the zipper.

"Alex," Olivia said sitting down for the first time in three hours, "Could you please go see if David's here? I just need to make sure he's on time."

"Of course," Alex said, "Calm down and I'll go check on him."

"Olivia you look a little pale," Melinda said taking in Olivia's look.

"I'm fine," Olivia replied, "I just have a feeling."

"Liv," Casey said placing her hand on her bare shoulder, "You need to relax. Everybody gets anxiety on their wedding day. Do I need to get Huang in here?"

Olivia shook her head no. The last thing she needed was to talk to a shrink on her wedding day.

When Alex came back in Olivia was relieved to hear that David and the groomsmen were doing just fine and right on time.

"They look handsome too if I do say so myself," Alex grinned.

"Tell me who they are!" Olivia begged, "Please! David never told me. He said he wanted it to be a surprise."

"A surprise is a surprise Liv," Alex said, "But, since it's you. The groomsmen are Fin, Munch, and Elliot."

Olivia's breath almost stopped.

"What's wrong?" Casey asked noticing the sudden change in her face.

"He didn't ask his cousin to be in the wedding because he knew that I've always wanted them to be in mine," Olivia cried, "He did this for me."

"Aw Liv," Melinda said, "He loves you."

Olivia sighed as she fanned her eyes so her make up wouldn't mess up from the tears and then she stood when there was a knock at the door. Cragen was standing there in a tux smiling once he saw Olivia in her dress.

"Olivia," Cragen said, "If you don't mind, I'm going to be the one giving you away."

Olivia put her hand over her mouth as her eyes began to water again, "Of course I don't mind."

Cragen wrapped his arms around her and embraced her in a hug before the wedding began.

"Are you ready?" he asked Olivia.

She nodded her head and her bridesmaids lined up in front of her. The only thing they were waiting on were the groomsmen.

"They should be out by now," Olivia said getting antsy.

Alex took this has her cue to go check on them again, "I'll go check."

When Alex walked into the room where the men were getting ready she almost screamed. She saw a man with a gun and the four groomsmen facing the wall. They had left all their weapons at home under Olivia's request. Alex knew she would blame herself for this so she debated telling her but she knew she had to tell someone. She quietly closed the door hoping that the gunman wouldn't hear her and ran back to Cragen and the girls.

"Cragen," Alex said with the blood rushing from her face.

Cragen walked away from Olivia and around the corner to where Alex was standing, "What is it?"

"There's a gunman in the room with the guys."

Cragen's eyes turned wide as his face got pale, "Are you sure?"

"I'm positive."

"We have to tell Olivia," Cragen said, "She'll know what to do."

Alex nodded her head and together they walked back to where Olivia, Melinda, and Casey stood patiently waiting.

"Olivia we need to get everybody out of this building," Cragen said getting right to the point.

"Why?" she asked confused, "What's going on?"

"There is a man with a gun in the room with David, Elliot, Fin, and Munch."

Olivia felt her heart stop. How could this happen? Who would bring a gun into a wedding with almost all cops?

"Who is it?" she asked on the verge of tears.

"Liv," Cragen said, "I think it's James Hayden."
