You guys are the best!
Olivia wondered how she got here. It was three a.m. She was on her kitchen counter. In her hand, was a graham cracker with whip cream and chocolate sauce. It was all going down her throat to feed her craving for something extremely sweet.
She froze when the kitchen light turnd on behind her. "Liv? What are you doing?" He was tired, she knew it. Olivia turned slowly with the cracker in her mouth. She smiled innocently at him. He walked over to her, rubbing his eyes. He took the cracker from Olivia and bit it. "Not bad." He smiled.
Olivia chuckled and bit into the cracker. "Your son has a sweet tooth." Olivia rubbed her stomach and licked her lips. "He doesn't want to sleep tonight."
Elliot kissed her stomach. "Dickie, Mommy needs her rest. You have to go to sleep there."
Olivia laughed. "Yeah, he's not stopping anytime soon. Hey, what did you here about that Marine postition?"
"Oh yeah, they gave it to me. I'll be working for 4 year here in New York. Then, I'll be done. Apparently, they like me too much to see me there for too long." Elliot shrugged.
Olivia smiled. "So, it's basically going to be the same hours as your job now."
"That would be correct. I can't believe we're graduating tomorrow." Elliot smiled. "So happy."
"I'm glad that I don't show in my cap and gown. I actually look like a normal senior." Olivia smiled.
"Well, that's because Dickie isn't that big yet. Wait until you reach the eighth month. My mom said that she got huge since I was such a big baby." Elliot smirked.
Olivia rolled her eyes. "Dickie don't listen to your father."
"You'll be saying the opposite thing when he's a teenager." Elliot smiled.
"Well, that's a long ways away. For now, I'm sticking to this." Olivia kissed his nose and took the cracker finishing it. "I think Richard should be good until the morning."
"Okay then." Elliot smiled lifting Olivia off the counter and setting her onto the floor. "Let's go to bed."
The next day was hectic. There were pictures and hugs and Olivia was a fricken petting zoo to his sisters. He had to physically remove them from Olivia so they could leave to get ready backstage.
They were soon on the stage. They could easily pick out their family. The principal and some of the teacher spoke. The principal called the Valedictorian up to the podium. Elliot kissed Olivia's cheek and watched her go up to the podium.
"Well, thank you everyone for coming! Most of you here are family or friends. You came to support all of us on this special day. This is a big step for all of us, but you helped us prepare.
High school has its moments. In the middle of class, you could here a pin drop or it could be so loud that a siren couldn't stop us. It has some of the most dramatic experiences, some of the happiest, and even some of the saddest moments we have ever had.
I would encourage anyone and everyone to do as much as they can in high school. It's meant to be the time where you learn what you are into. It's the time to learn who your friends really are. Or, in my case, it's the time where I became a Mommy of 25 football players and I married the Team Daddy." Olivia smiled. The crowd chuckled.
"Some of us here won't see each other again for a long time if ever. It's heartbreaking to think about that. I have come to love all of my classmates. I've come to look forward to coming to school to hear about some of their messed up weekends or idiotic ideas. I love every idea no matter how weird it may be. They all can make you laugh. I will miss all of them." Olivia smiled and went back to her seat.
The crowd clapped and some of the football player who weren't seniors started whooping. They were soon silenced when the principal anounced for the Salutatorian. Elliot stood up and walked up to the podium.
"Everyone, thank you for coming. Since my beautiful wife told you about high school, I will tell you about some of our memories. Our class, like many, has very weird debates. For example, just last week we were sitting in class and someone made the suggestion that we should get a bunch of watermelons and have some sort of contest for our last week.
Of course, there were people who thought it would be a waste of food and money. So, our classmates did this." Elliot said gesturing to his class.
Everyone stood up and started shouting random things. Of cours, of all things, Will would stand up. "Let's just go home! Let's just go home!" He yelled over everyone. This went on for a couple of minutes.
"Anyway, you have seen some of our best moments. For instance, you watched us win our state volleyball match. You came to our football games and basketball games. Some of you were willing to bring the players brownies or cookies for after the game. Most of you saw the one of the best moments I've had.
You all watched as our class and some of our under classmen ran onto our football field and helped me ask a very important question. They each held up a sign that asked will you marry me. I will be thankful for them forever. So," Elliot said turning to his classmates and became his goofy self again. "Thanks guys!" He smiled.
The crowd chuckled and clapped as he sat down. More whoops were heard. It was time to hand out diplomas. The principal started anouncing their classmates one by one. "Elliot Stabler." He said. Elliot's family stood up and clapped.
"Go Elliot!" Joe shouted. Elliot had to smile as his father's voice boomed through the gym.
"Olivia Stabler." The principal called.
Again Elliot's family clapped and cheered for her. Olivia giggled as Joe yelled. "Go Livvie Bear!"
Olivia groaned quietly to herself from embarressment, but pride. It's better than having no one here at all.
The ceremony soon ended and they walked back to Elliot's family holding their tassels that had a gold emblem that read 1995. "There's my graduates!" Joe smiled as they walked up. "How's my grandson?"
"He kept your daughter inlaw up last night." Elliot smiled.
"He's got a sweet tooth." Olivia chuckled.
"You guys wrote very beautiful speeches." Bernie complimented.
"Thanks. It was fun being up there." Olivia grinned. Elliot just stared at her. "It's not my fault I like public speaking."
"I just think it's funny. I didn't say there was anything wrong with it." Elliot defended himself.
"Well, let's go. You guys have a graduation party in two hours." Bernie said heading out to the parking lot.
Olivia and Elliot drove to his parents' house where they were having the party on the beach. Elliot watched as Olivia walked onto the beach. She was wearing her favorite blue denim shorts and a bright yellow t-shirt.
Olivia turned around to look at Elliot. He was wearing jeans and a white v-neck t-shirt. "What are you looking at?" Olivia asked.
"The beautiful view, I can never get enough." Elliot smiled walking over to her.
"I think I have the better view right now." Olivia grinned putting her hands on Elliot's chest when he put his on her hips.
"In three weeks it will be our one year anniversay." Elliot smiled nuzzling his nose with hers.
"I know. It's almost hard to believe. It's been a busy year." Olivia said kissing him.
Elliot moaned when they parted. "But, it's also been the best year."
"I'm not going to fight you there." Olivia smiled. "Now, your mom said that she had some food out already. Let's go." Elliot laughed as she dragged him towards the house.
