This is it... The last chapter. *Tear* I am really thankful to the people who reviewed this story and for the people who read it. I hope you LOVE this last chapter.

"This is it," Olivia whispered to herself hoping nobody would hear. She was staring out of the window at the chapel she had been at not too long ago. Cragen was standing right behind her when she had muttered the words.

"Olivia Benson I am so happy that we met," Cragen said sitting on a chair across from her. "There isn't a person in this world I'd rather call my daughter."

Olivia felt the tears pricking in her eyes, "Don..."

"I've watched you grow up for almost 14 years," he continued, now crying a little himself, "This is your wedding day. It's suppose to be the best day of your life."

"It is," Olivia said quietly threw her tears, "I'm so glad that I have wonderful friends and family." Olivia stood up and walked over to Don who gave her a hug and then handed her a tissue so she could wipe the eyeliner that had fallen under her eyes.

"David's ready," Alex peaked into the hall.

"Let's get started."

Alex lined up next to Munch and Casey lined up next to Fin. The bridesmaids were wearing a cotton candy blue colored dress that was very simple and elegant. The groomsmen were wearing black ties with a blue flower pinned to them. Olivia thought everybody looked beautiful and even though her nerves were in fire, she couldn't wait for the music to play and the white church doors to open so she could walk down that aisle to the rest of her life.

Don was standing next to Olivia in a tux that matched the groomsmen and Olivia was wearing a gorgeous white wedding dress. It was strapless like Olivia had anticipated and it was simple but elegant. Don had locked his right arm into Olivia's left and the music started playing.

Olivia felt the smile creep upon her face as the people in front of her started walking. It was now her turn, and she seemed to be floating on clouds. As soon as she stepped onto the red trail that had been laid down she couldn't help but let the memories of the past fade away. This was her now, this was her present, and this would forever be her future.

She had caught a glimpse of David who was standing at the altar looking as handsome as ever. Olivia smiled at him and he couldn't help but give the biggest grin. When it was time for Don to give Olivia to away, Olivia gave Don a simple kiss on the cheek and whispered, "Thanks Dad."

Don had taken his seat in the front row of the pews and had been in awe of what was going on in front of him. Olivia Benson. The girl cop he never thought would make it but, hired her anyway. The girl he thought would marry Elliot Stabler. The girl who he had seen go through so much in her lifetime was now a woman. A woman who was marrying the man who loved her more than life itself.

Olivia slipped her arm into David's and together they walked up the altar, hand in hand.

"We are gathered here today to join you, David Hayden, and you Olivia Benson in holy matrimony," the priest announced aloud.

While the priest was rambling on, Olivia looked out into the crowd of people that was there. Don and Liz sitting together. David's cousins and younger sister. Her new family. The family that she had always wanted, she was getting. She looked up into David's eyes and could see her future. She saw them living happily in a house together with two kids running around in the back yard. She saw happiness. She finally snapped back to reality hearing the words of the priest, "The rings please?"

Casey handed the two golden wedding bands to the priest and the priest handed one to David. "Do you, David Hayden, take Olivia Benson to be your lawful wedded wife? To have and to hold? For richer or for poorer? In sickness and in health?"

"I do," David beamed.

"Please place the ring on her finger." David slipped the gold band on Olivia's left hand and this made it real to him that he was finally marrying the woman of his dreams.

"Do you, Olivia Benson, take David Hayden, to be your lawful wedded husband? To have and to hold? For richer or for poorer? In sickness and in health?"

"I do," she smiled.

"Please place the ring on his finger. Olivia did as she was told and couldn't wait for the man to let them kiss.

"I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. David Hayden," the Priest said, "You may now kiss the bride."

David and Olivia connected their lips together and shared their very first kiss as a married couple. There was many more to come. That they were both sure of.

When the kiss was over, the happy music started playing and David swooped Olivia up in his arms and carried her out of the church. Outside, the sun was shining and the sky was a perfect blue. The birds were chirping and the most important people in her life were there. 'Olivia Hayden' she thought, 'It's perfect.'

Together, they drove off into the sunset in a rented convertible with cans tied to the back of the trunk clanking on the sidewalk and the back window saying 'Just Married.' She finally got the fairytale she had always wanted.

I never said there wasn't an epilogue...
