A/N: Okay, here we go! I hope you enjoy and sorry it has taken me so long. Last week was a bit treacherous. I do want to clarify that HG and I are still working on the horror story. It's just my turn to crank out two chapters and well we all see how my updates have been going. I am working on it. Also, I would love to stress to that HG's love for spiders is a bit over the top and I am arachnophobic...so yes, she has a spider cave.

The Night Before, Abbie and Kim's Apartment...

"Oh my god, Abbie, what did we do?" Kim said nervously as they entered their apartment.

Holding up her hands, Abbie replies, "We made a mistake, we can just call Alex and fix this mess. Everything will be fine." As Abbie picks up her phone to call Alex, Kim grabs her hand.

"Do you think it's that easy? I mean are you sure?" Kim questions.

"Yeah, I don't see another way baby." Abbie replies.

Kim nods and drops her wife's hand and sits on the couch. The phone goes straight to voicemail. Abbie tried two more times and each time she is directed to voicemail.

Looking at Kim, she sighs, "Ok, what's our next plan?"

"Call Charlotte, I am going to call Serena. I've got a plan." Kim says assertively.

"What is it?" Abbie questions softly.

"We are going to trick them back together." Kim says with a smile.

Charlotte Cabot's House...

"Okay, Abigail and Kimberly and I have devised a solid plan. What's wrong? What did your IT people say?" Charlotte questions firmly.

"Andrea do you want to tell her, or do you want me to?" Michonne asks.

Andrea looks up at Michonne and nods, looking at Charlotte the blonde says, "It was Audrey. They traced it back to her IP address. She logged in earlier today and edited the file. Evidently the pictures were duplicated on the cloud. I don't even fully understand what the cloud is, but evidently my cell phone backs up to it and if you don't go directly to the cloud and delete it, it stays there. Anyway, Audrey has been accessing my computer since I fired her. She did this to purposely embarrass us all. I am so sorry."

"Well, there is no time to sit around and wallow on things we can't change. Just take this as a lesson to learn from dear. Now, I need your help." Charlotte says with a smile.

"What can we help you with?" Michonne asks standing.

"I need your help planning a wedding." Charlotte states.

"Whose wedding?" Andrea questions in confusion.

"Casey and Alexandra's of course."

Present Day, Early Morning, Apartment of Alexandra Cabot...

Alex fumbled around her apartment looking for her cell phone. She had a funny feeling she knew why Donnelly was calling her and Casey in for an impromptu Saturday meeting. She knew their antics from the night before in front of New York City's finest lawyers and judges did not bode well for them working together in the future. However, her prayer for death last night was not answered, so here she was scouring her apartment for her phone.

The last thing she wanted to do right now was see anyone. Her eyes were so swollen and red from crying and all she wanted to do was stay buried under the covers in her bedroom. She just wanted to sleep so she could pretend that she and Casey were fine and it was still a possibility to wake up and hold her again.

She was miserable. All she wanted was Casey. She wanted to be snuggled up in bed with her right now, kissing and laughing as they planned their great adventure for life. Alex didn't know how to make any of this right. All she did know was that a life without Casey seemed like a lonely future.

Finding her phone, Alex sat down on the couch and began flipping through pictures of her and Casey. A fresh set of tears rolled down her face as she flipped through goofy pictures of Casey from the morning before...how could she have said such words to the woman she loved more than anything. Could she claim temporary insanity? She may have had some underlying jealousy towards Andrea, but she'd grown quite close to the other blonde. She just never imagined seeing pictures of Andrea and Casey like that. In a way, it caused her to snap. Could she explain that to Casey? Could she make the love of her life see that it was a giant mistake?

Coming back across a video of Casey from the night before while they were getting ready for the party, Alex hit play. Suddenly she saw the still form of the red head singing and dancing in the bathroom in front of the sink while fixing her makeup. She was singing along to Florence + The Machine's song No Light, No Light. She was her beautiful goofy self and Alex had to catch it on video. It made Alex's heart hurt in a whole new way.

Present Day, Casey Novak's Office...

Casey stood and headed to the door of her office. Taking a deep breath, she crossed the threshold and made her way towards Donnelly's office. She was in no way ready for this meeting. She knew there was a good chance that she was going to get chastised for her behavior the night before and Alex probably would too. They would be punished and reprimanded, but to be honest she could care less about all that. What she couldn't stand, what was killing her inside as she made her way down the hall, was the fact that she and Alex would be leaving separately.

Why did she give her back the ring? Why did she say she didn't want to be with her any longer? Why did she say those things? Alex's reactions had been warranted to some degree, and Casey knew had the tables been turned and she'd been viewing pictures of Alex and Audrey she would have probably slapped Alex and killed Audrey. Maybe she could apologize to Alex and beg her to still marry her. Maybe it would work. Maybe she could still save their relationship.

Then again, Alex did owe her an apology as well. The blonde had said some hurtful things as well. Maybe they could both apologize and bury the hatchet. Then they could move forward. That seemed like a completely plausible answer to their problem. That is until Casey spotted Alex sitting outside of Donnelly's office.

Alex looked up and locked eyes with Casey. The feeling of hope for reconciliation quickly drained from Casey as she saw just how fragile Alex looked right now. They had both hurt each other, they both were hurting terribly, how could they possibly fix this?

Before Casey could say anything, Judge Donnelly opened her office door. "Ladies, would you join me please?"

Casey hesitated in moving forward she didn't want to seem to eager to get this all over with, she didn't want Alex to think she didn't want to be around her. All the redhead wanted to do was run and take Alex into her arms and tell her how much she loved her and was sorry.

"Well, come on you two. I don't have all day." Donnelly barked getting both women to instantly move forward and into her office.

Waving towards the two chairs opposite her desk, the judge sat down and observed the two women for a minute. She could tell from looking them over that they'd both been crying. She had witnessed the whole ordeal at the engagement party first hand and she genuinely felt for both girls. Liz could completely understand each of their reactions and she was sorry that Abbie and Kim had interfered. If they hadn't these two would have worked things out last night.

"About last night," Liz starts to be quickly interrupted by Alex.

"You don't need to separate us, I quit." Alex says boldly.

"What? No. I quit." Casey gasps out.

Rolling her eyes, Liz slams her hands down on her desk and firmly and loudly says, "No one is quitting!"

Both Alex and Casey go wide eyed at their superiors reaction. Taking a breath to regain composure, Liz says in a softer tone, "I know without a doubt last night did not go how either of you intended it to. It was a colossal fuck up. I am deeply sorry that both of you had to endure that on what should have been a special and fun night for both of you. All of your guests and colleagues feel the same, at least the ones I have talked to do and let's be honest if they don't who gives a rats ass about them chances are you are wiping the courtroom floor with them."

Looking at Casey, the older blonde continues, "Casey, I am sorry an intimate part of your past life was exposed in the manner it was. That would be embarrassing for anyone. Although, Alex's words were harsh and hurtful, I hope that you are clear minded enough to look within yourself and think about how you may have reacted if the tables were turned on you."

Turning to Alex, she said, "Alexandra, your words are your strongest asset in the courtroom. Most of the time you use them for good, however, you have been known to not bite your tongue when you should and have gotten yourself held in contempt because of it. This yet again is a prime example of a time you should have bit your tongue. Work harder at your filter and you will be a much happier person, I promise you. You have lots of groveling in your future."

Standing to look over both of the women, Liz says in a soft and sympathetic tone, "You two both dropped the ball last night, but it doesn't have to stay down. You don't have to break up, and I genuinely hope you don't. You complete each other. Casey, before Alex you dressed a little less than appropriate for the courtroom and you were just a tad wild, but Alex helped reign some of that in and now you are an amazing prosecutor who is respected by all attorneys and judges which is a huge bonus in your field. Your conviction rate is higher than any other ADA including Alex. As for you Alex, you had your own personal goals set so high that had you achieved them all you'd more than likely died a lonely miserable person because you would have realized that you missed out on the best parts of life. Casey brought fun and true happiness to your life. I have never seen you smile and laugh as much as I have since you and Casey started dating. She brings out all the good in you and reopened a part of you that I was worried died with your father. It makes it easy for me to understand why you are so terrified of losing her, but you have to understand she isn't going anywhere, so you don't have to worry kiddo."

Walking around the couple she puts her back towards the door, "I am going to leave you two to talk now, but before I go I must inform you both of some things. One, Casey, Alex came to your apartment last night to apologize and make up, but Kim and Avbie sent her away. Two, Audrey, is responsible for your slide show fiasco, but Michonne is filing a hell of a civil suit against her and her corporation so your children will be able to thank her utter stupidity for their college and law school funds. Three, I will be down the hall in conference room A with guests when you are ready. Take your time."

With that, Donnelly left the office. Alex looked at Casey. Casey's green eyes were full of tears, watching as the redhead bowed her head to wipe them away Alex feared she was still losing the love of her life. Feeling her own tears start to build in her eyes, Alex decides it's now or never. Taking a deep breath she says, "I'd do anything to make you stay. Tell me what to say. I'll do anything to make it right."

Casey sighs, "You don't have to do anything Alex. I love you and I understand. You overreacted and I followed you right over the precipice. I never should have told you I didn't want to get married. I was mad at you and it was a cheap shot. I am so sorry, but I am so relieved to know you came after me, even if that makes me sound lame."

Kneeling in front of Casey, Alex takes her hands in her own and says, "Stop apologizing. You have nothing to be sorry for, you didn't do anything wrong, I did. I love you more than anything. I can't believe I was such an idiot. I was devastated to see you like that with another woman, nonetheless Andrea, and I let my emotions drive not my brain. I am so sorry. Please forgive me. Please say you'll still marry me. I can't live without you Casey. I know it hasn't even been a full day, but it feels like it's been a lifetime. I missed you so much I was watching silly videos I took of you earlier."

"Oh my god, I feel like it's been a lifetime too!" Casey laughs a little before adding, "Of course I will still marry you." Leaning in she kisses Alex, taking her time to enjoy the feeling of the blondes lips against her own.

Breaking the kiss, Alex removes Casey's ring from her own finger and slips it back on to Casey's finger. Looking back into Casey's eyes she softly says, "I love you Casey, I can't wait to make you my wife. If I could I would marry you right now."

Casey smiles and replies, "I love you too, and you know there is a judge down the hallway. I am sure if we promise to name a child after her she might just marry us."

"A child? That's a hard bargain, maybe we should offer dinner first." Alex jokes standing and helping Casey up.

Opening the office door, Casey laughs, "Really and I thought you said you'd do anything for me."

"I did, and I happily will. Elizabeth it is then. Ha, I still win in a way, since my middle name is Elizabeth!" Alex jokes.

"And to think that anyone ever thought you were an Ice Queen." Casey says.

"I think it's Ice Bitch if I remember correctly."

Casey nods, "Right, we should never misquote Abbie. Hey wait, did you just say you have goofy videos of me on your phone?"

Alex takes the conference room handle and laughs, "I don't know, did I?"
