Chapter Nine: Last Nights of Freedom

"Hey mom." Fitz greeted his mother, just as he quietly stepped out of his grandmother's room. She had taken one of her pills and they made her drowsy, so he left to let her rest. He had come by early this morning since he didn't have to be at the office until late. Fitz hadn't been by in a while to see his grandmother, and he knew she would enjoy his visit. He sat and talked with her for a while, she got lost and confused a few times but Fitz helped her back. He's keep correcting her whenever she was wrong, but he couldn't bring himself to correct her on one thing. Verna seems to think Olivia and Fitz are still married. He tried once before to tell her that they were divorced, but she got upset. So from then on, he just let her think they were still married. He didn't think there was any harm, since she wouldn't remember the conversation the next day anyway.

Verna spent almost an hour just talking about Fitz and Olivia. How she couldn't wait for them to give her some great-grandbabies. She knew how much Olivia and Fitz were in love with each other and how much they both wanted kids. Seems like that part of her memory was just fine. It was the years that followed, that she had a problem with. But with the big grin on her face at the thought of great-grandkids, Fitz couldn't tell her the truth. What's wrong with making her happy for now?

"Hey baby. Your grandmother sleeping?"

"Yeah, she just took her pills."

"They seem to be making her more drowsy than usual." Carol walked into the kitchen, where Gerry was already sipping his coffee and reading the paper.

"Has she been back to the doctor recently?" Fitz asked his mother, as they both joined Gerry at the table for breakfast.

"Yeah, but they're all still saying the same thing."

"Which is?"

"To make her comfortable and enjoy the days with her." Gerry answered for Carol, who was already getting a little emotional. Carol was trying to make peace with her mother dying, but it was difficult as it would be for any daughter.

"That's it? There's nothing they can do?"

"We told you about your grandmother's condition son." Gerry said. "Her heart is just giving out on her."

"Does grandma know what's going on?"

"She knows she's sick, but I don't know if she fully understands. On some days she understands, but on her bad days… she doesn't understand much of anything."

"I'm uh, going to make another pot of coffee." Carol said, before standing and leaving.

"Maybe we should table this conversation until later Fitz."

"Yeah, sorry. Has Olivia been by here?" Fitz asked, changing the subject.

"Yeah, she was here just yesterday before she and the girls left."

"Left?"

"She and the girls are driving down to the Vegas for a couple of days. The bachelorette party."

"Vegas? Olivia and Las Vegas are not a good mix." Fitz laughed, remembering their vacation to Las Vegas.

He could only imagine what she would be like in Vegas as a single woman. They had decided to have the bachelor and bachelorette parties a few days before the wedding instead of the day before. This way they could do it all, and not have to worry about being hung over at their wedding. No one wants to see an entire wedding party hungover.

"Vegas. I bet they're staying at Caesar's palace. It's her favorite hotel in Vegas. Best views from the rooms. She certainly is an overachiever."

"Yeah, they rode down in some party bus. And they're flying back on Friday before the wedding."

"Today's Wednesday. Do you know how much mess they're going to get into with Olivia as the maid of honor."

"Oh please, not with Olivia she's a doll." Carol said, coming back into the room with a fresh pot of coffee and a clean face. She had a small smile on her face as she sat back in her seat.

"You don't know Olivia like I do." Fitz said.

"So what are you doing for the bachelor party Fitzgerald?" Carol asked.

"Um…" Fitz cleared his throat. The itinerary for the bachelor party was not something he wanted to go over with his mother. "Um, dinner…steak dinner. Maybe hit a few clubs, some drinks, a few Cubans."

"Cigars or women?" Fitz's mom asked.

Fitz nervously laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. He scowled at his father, who couldn't seem to hide his amusement. "Cigars mother."

"That's it?"

"Well not everything is planned right now, but uh so far that's about it."

"Well you just make sure Stevie has fun, but not too much fun. Same thing I told Olivia about Abby."

"I will keep that in mind mother."

"Speaking of Olivia, have you spoken to her recently?"

"Uh no, why?"

"She was just acting a little weird yesterday."

"She was probably hoping not to run into me."

"Oh well I know that. But there was something else off about her."

"I wouldn't know anything about that." Fitz said, stuffing a piece of toast in his mouth.

"Hm. You know, your grandmother doesn't seem to remember your divorce. She thinks you all are still together."

"Yeah I know. She spent like an hour just talking about Olivia."

"Olivia was like a granddaughter to her." Gerry said. "Your mother and I didn't get a chance to give her anymore grandkids, so she lived through you two."

Fitz changed the subject once again. He didn't want to talk about Olivia or listen to talk about Olivia. Especially not after everything that's happened between the two of them. He hadn't spoken or tried to speak to her after Huck and Quinn's anniversary party. He knew she was angry, when she said what she did in that closet. But still, angry words or not, they got to him and he got the message. He was gonna back off and leave her alone. She wanted to move on with her life, and he was going to try his hardest to do the same.

"I can't figure out which one I want to wear." Abby groaned, looking down at the bathing suits on her bed. She'd brought plenty of bathing suits with her, now she couldn't decide between two bikini's to wear.

This was day two of their mini vacation in Vegas. Quinn was the only one not in attendance, since she was pregnant. She wouldn't be able to partake in most of what Olivia had planned anyway. Besides, there was no way Huck was going to let Quinn go to Vegas at seven months pregnant.

They'd spent their first night low-key. After spending hours in a bus on the road, they wanted to relax. They ate dinner at a swanky hotel and went back to the room for massages and a girl's night in. They were staying in at Caesar's Palace in the Constantine Villa, curtesy of Olivia. Abby knew Olivia only stayed in the best places but damn, this place was nice. Abby would've been happy with a regular room, but she knew her best friend could be eccentric at times. Abby wasn't complaining though.

Olivia, Erika, and Althea all walked through Abby's door laughing with a cocktail in their hands. They were all dresses in their bikini's and ready to hit the pool.

"Abby, what the hell are you doing?" Olivia asked. "Our cabana is ready and we're missing the sun."

"I can't decide. Which one." Abby held up two bikinis, one neon yellow and the other white.

"Neon." Everyone answered at the same time. Abby smiled, and flung the white one back on the bed before going to the bathroom to change.

"And hurry up." Olivia yelled after her, checking herself in the bedroom mirror. She was wearing a demi cup, multi-colored geo Aztec print bikini with matching bottoms. She had a on a white off the shoulder cover up. Erika shocked her with a scandalous little bikini of her own. Olivia was sure she would have on a one piece with her clothes over it. Instead, she had on a flounce bandeau top with matching bottoms. And Althea wore a triangle baby blue top with a high waist strappy bottom.

"Olivia do you have to look at yourself every time you see a mirror?" Althea asked.

"Well I don't have too, but I choose too." Olivia retorted, tearing her gaze off the mirror and checking her watch.

"And why do you keep checking your watch?"

"Abby's next surprise is waiting downstairs, and she's getting antsy."

"She?"

"Okay I'm ready. Let's go." Abby came out the bathroom dresses, with her sunglasses and hat just as everyone else had.

"Great, let's go."

Olivia heard her name being called, and she pushed past the line of people waiting outside the pool.

"Ms. Pope?" The man at the podium called again.

"Right here." Olivia slid past a group of particularly muscular men and to the front. "Hi." Olivia crooned to the six foot Adonis standing in front of her. Tall, tanned and muscular just like she liked them.

"Good afternoon ladies, I'm Liam. Welcome to Venus pool we have your cabana all ready for you."

"I'm following you."

"Right this way ladies." Liam turned towards the pool and the ladies followed after him. The music wasn't too loud, the sun was shining bright and the drinks were flowing. Perfect way to spend the afternoon in Vegas. Now when the sun went down, that was a different story.

"Olivia is this a topless pool?" Erika asked, as two blondes strolled past them in nothing but their bathing suit bottoms.

"Of course it is Erika. Why do you think the line was so long?"

"I love you Olivia!" Abby squealed. "This reminds me of that nude beach we went to in Cancun."

"Yeah, only it wasn't a nude beach, we were just nude." Olivia laughed. "Why do you think we got that citation from that cop."

"It's not like there was anyone else on the beach, it was like two in the morning. And it was Charlie's dare. I miss her, I really wish she could've made it to the wedding."

Charlie was Abby and Olivia's friend from college. They stayed in the same three bedroom suit on campus. The best room in their hall, Curtis would have it no other way. Charlie was a lot like Olivia, only multiplied by three. Charlie was a free spirit, she did what she wanted and she said what she wanted. She was boisterous, loud, funny, charming and it was just a good time whenever she was around. She was currently backpacking through Europe, having the time of her life. Charlie had gotten Olivia and Abby into a lot of sticky situations over the years. They had some stories to tell.

"Here we are ladies. I hope this meets your satisfaction."

"It's exceeded, thank you Liam."

"No problem, enjoy your day ladies." Liam winked once at Olivia, before turning to go back to his post by the entrance.

"Can I get you some drinks?" A voice behind them asked.

"Oh yes, can I get a mojito plea- Charlie!" Abby shrieked, seeing her second best friend standing in front of her. Abby hugged her very excitedly, gaining some annoyed stares from people around them. "What are you doing here? I thought you were in Europe."

"Well I couldn't make it down when you first asked me to come. But you didn't actually think I would miss your wedding did you?"

"I'm so glad you're here, now my wedding party is finally complete!"

"Hey Charlie, sorry we're late. But miss thing here couldn't decide what to wear." Olivia said as she hugged Charlie.

"It's quite fine. I kept myself busy with this hunk of a man in red speedo, which oddly enough works for him. Alright ladies you all need some drinks! We are going to get completely shit faced and not care about it." Charlie ordered a bunch of drinks from the bar for all of them.

"Abby are you really going to take your top off?" Althea asked, once Abby started pulling at the strings of her bikini top.

"Yes she is. Why not? We don't know any of these people, we're never going to see them again. Abby is going to enjoy her bachelorette weekend. Besides, this is one of her bridesmaids dares; topless at a pool." Olivia said, marking this one off her list.

"Abby you're an engaged woman, you're getting married in less than a week." Althea tried again.

"Oh please, Fitz and Huck are planning Stephen's bachelor party. I'm sure he's gonna have about three different asses in his face by tonight." Abby said.

"And knowing them, they probably won't even wait until tonight. He probably has a fat ass in his face now." Olivia laughed. "And you know it's a fat one, because Stephen is an ass man. Which is why I am so confused about him and Abby. You must have an awesome personality, because you sure as hell ain't got nothing back there."

"Olivia!" Abby playfully smacked her arm. "Did you get a head start on the drinking?"

"I did actually, because this weekend I am not a psychiatrist, you are not the woman about to get married, Erika you're not the shy one And Thea, you're not a mother. Okay we're just women of a certain age having a good time."

"That's right!" Charlie second, "Now we're going to drink these shots, ditch the tops and go play some volleyball with those guys. I'll lead by example." Charlie said. She took a shot before pulling off her top and jumping in the water yelling 'Vegas bitches!' with the crowd cheering her on.

Abby was next. She took a shot, giving one to Erika as well. And when she jumped in the water, she pulled Erika with her.

"Come on Thea. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. I promise when the weekend is over you can go back to being Susie homemaker okay. You don't even have to take your top off, just don't be a Debbie downer this weekend." Olivia took her shot and pulled off her top and jumped in the pool. She needed this time in Vegas for herself, before she had to go back to being a responsible adult.

"I am not a Debbie downer." Althea said to herself. She took her shot, and then another. Why does everyone think she's such a prude? Just because she has kids doesn't mean she can't have fun. She could have fun. Althea pulled her suit top over her head, thankful that her one perky breast hadn't turned to complete to complete shit after having three kids. She certainly didn't look like a mother of three. She was going to prove to everyone that Olivia wasn't the only fun Pope daughter.

"And of curse gentlemen, we are here to celebrate Stephen's last couple of nights as free man, before his balls are on lockdown." The men in the room laughed. "So without further ado gentlemen, please raise your beers and Jansen you raise your water to that sad sap over there. Stephen your player card has officially been revoked. To Stephen!"

"Stephen!" The room full of men all cheered, while Fitz chained a black ball to his ankle. On the side, 'Abby' was written in all caps. Stephen had done the same thing to Fitz at his bachelor party.

Stephen laughed, "Really Fitz?"

"Payback man."

It was almost ten o'clock at night now, and the night was just beginning for Stephen and the boys. They had started light; steak dinner, hit a few clubs, a little gambling, just as Fitz had told his mother. Now they were at strip club in a private room. One of the better strip clubs L.A had to offer. It wasn't anything trashy, all the girls were top grade and no one had to worry about sitting in a chair and catching an STD.

Fitz had planned a long night out with the boys, just what Stephen wanted. He wanted one last blow out, before he got married. He knew Abby was definitely going to see some strippers in Las Vegas, so it was only fair he got to see some too. It was expected of him.

All night long, he had been served by half dressed women in bikinis and skimpy outfits. Stephen felt like royalty, being served his drinks and food, he didn't have to lift a finger if he didn't want to. He had gotten more lap dances and seen more women strip than he could count. And the night wasn't close to being over.

"Alright gentlemen, if I could get the groom on center stage please." The DJ said. Stephen looked over to Fitz who had a devilish grin on his face.

"What'd you do?"

"Why don't you get up on stage and find out."

The lights dimmed, and a spotlight flashed on Stephen sitting in a chair on the stage. "Gentlemen the Starlight lounge is proud to present of our most hidden treasures. I'm talking about the sexy and beautiful Bubbles."

The curtains opened, and out came a woman covered in balloons. She had clear balloons filled with silver glitter and confetti connected to her body some kind of way. Stephen knew he'd figure out sooner or later. This night was turning out to be better than he expected. But come Saturday morning, none of this would matter to him.

"Fitz! You tell Abby I looked, but didn't touch." Stephen yelled, just before Bubbles popped one of her balloons, and some confetti burst on his pants.

"Copy that."

"Should I keep going handsome?"

"Hell yeah."

The guys cheered on, throwing their money on the stage as Bubbles popped a few more balloons. From her waist down was visible. She had on this scanty little white thing, and a pair of extremely high heels. She sat in Stephen's lap the last two balloons on her breast rubbing against his chest.

"Do you mind?" She held out the little pin she was using to pop the balloons. Stephen didn't waste any time taking the pin and popping the last two balloons. Her breast, now covered in glitter, were resting against his chest.

"Shit." Stephen sighed.

"Congratulations Mr. Groom.

Bubbles danced for a little while longer, picking up as much cash as she could before she left the stage. After Stephen got off the stage, Huck and another guy grabbed Fitz. They made him take off his suit jacket and shirt, so he was only in his pants sitting on the stage.

"Alright gentlemen. That was something fun and flirty. Now for something sweet and sugary, please welcome Candy!"

Cameo's 'Candy' started playing, and the curtains opened once again. This time a girl about 5'5, light brown skin and curly hair came out. The men all howled, because she was wearing a white thong, but her breast were covered with whipped cream and two carefully placed cherries.

"Hello blue eyes." She sauntered over to over to Fitz, sucking on a cherry sucker. Fitz tried to pay attention to the woman as she dance in front of him, but all he could think about was a similar moment he had with Olivia on their first wedding anniversary.

Flashback

Fitz sat in a wooden chair in the bedroom. His eyes blindfolded and his hand cuffed behind his back. Tonight was his first anniversary with Olivia. One year of marriage had sure gone by quick. He had treated Olivia with reservations to one of the best restaurants in LA, he had to book the reservations months in advance. He wined and dined her all night long, giving her a tennis bracelet and matching necklace at the end of the night. Olivia gave him an engraved watch, and courtside tickets to the Heat game. His favorite team at the time, he since then has jumped on the Golden State Warriors bandwagon.

After their dinner, they headed back home where Olivia said she had her final surprise for him. When they got in the house, Olivia made him strip down to his boxers. She handcuffed him to the chair and blindfolded him.

"Don't go anywhere." She teasingly whispered in his ear before walking off to the bathroom. He heard the bathroom door closing behind her. Fitz sat patiently for a while, until the minutes started to tick by. He was getting restless and anxious waiting for Olivia to come back.

"Livvie." Fitz whined. "Baby what are you doing?"

Just then, the lights dimmed and he heard a song began to play. Cameo's 'Candy' started playing through the speakers.

"Don't open your eyes until I say." Olivia said, before she took off the blindfold. It was a second later, that she told him to open his eyes. Fitz obediently opened his eyes, and his mouth involuntarily fell open.

"Happy anniversary baby." Olivia stood before him almost nude, with nothing but what looked like cake frosting and sprinkles covering her breast and below her waist.

"You like?" Olivia gave him a complete spin around, in her incredibly high stiletto pumps. "This…" She pointed to her breast. "…Is strawberry frosting." She sauntered over to his chair. "And this…" She swiped a finger between her legs. "…Is your favorite cherry infused chocolate frosting." She spread the chocolate from her finger on his lips. Fitz caught her finger between his teeth, before she pulled back.

"Before I uncuff you, there's something I want to tell you." She slowly and languidly kissed his lips, licking the icing off his lips. She kissed from his mouth to his ear, as she straddled his lap. Fitz was puling against the cuffs on his wrist, wishing like hell he was loose so he could touch her, hold her.

"Livvie uncuff me." Fitz demanded.

Olivia rolled her hips in his lap, as she whispered in his ear. "I've been eating pineapples all day long."

"Shit…."

"Oh Disney World my ass, this is the happiest place on earth!" Abby shouted from the sunroof of their limo as they traveled down the Vegas blocks. They had just left a club, where they all dance and drank everything that was sent to them by admirers. Olivia was glad Althea and Erika were loosening up more and having fun. This weekend wasn't just about Abby, and she wanted them to have fun as well. She knew that sometime she, Abby and Charlie could be like the three stooges in their own click, and she didn't want them to feel left out. Especially Erika, she was surprising everyone by how loose she was being. She was the one who jumped on the bar and started dancing, everyone else was just following her lead. Olivia was sure it was from all the liquid courage she had consumed tonight.

It wasn't hard for them to get buzzed, with their drinks hanging around their necks. Olivia shopped online for the party favors and other things they could use for Abby's bachelorette party. She was scrolling through the same site she got Abby's tiara, when she came across these small penis shaped bottles. They had beads connected to them, so they could be worn as a necklace. Olivia knew she had to get some. She ordered one for each of the girls, and got Abby's customized. She bejeweled it with 'Mrs. Finch'. Abby thought it was hilarious, she vowed to always keep it.

"Stephen and I should honeymoon here instead." Abby said, when she dropped back in the limo. Her hair going in five different directions.

"You don't honeymoon in Vegas Abby." Althea said. "I don't think sin city is where you want to start off your marriage." Thea joked.

"Yeah."

"Where are you two going anyway?" Charlie asked.

"Ooh Honolulu. I cannot wait. Two weeks soaking up the sun, it's going to be heaven."

"Jason and I went the colder route and headed to Aspen. It's so beautiful in the winter time." Althea said.

Charlie vowed she was never getting married, while Erika shared where she hoped to go on her honeymoon. All this honeymoon talk was making Olivia think about her honeymoon with Fitz to Italy. The two weeks they spent there were amazing. They made love constantly, swam daily and Olivia dragged Fitz to every shop she could find. The food was so good, Olivia didn't want to come home after their two weeks.

She hadn't thought about their honeymoon in years.

Flashback

"And over here of course is the ocean. We have the best Villa on the beach. Nothing's too much for my new bride." Fitz turned the camera back over to Olivia who was lying in a bed, with the white sheets wrapped around her. The breeze from outside, brushing the curtains on the windows and French double doors. She looked angelic in make-up free face, curly wild bed head and a lazy smile on her face. The diamond bracelet he bought her earlier that day at a little shop, shining bright as it caught the light in the room.

"Baby how much longer are you gonna be playing with that camera?"

"I'm not playing sweetheart, we have to document this honeymoon, so we can show our kids how much we love each other." Fitz focused the camera on her. He had bought the camera specifically for their honeymoon. He had barely put it down since they got off the plane. He was determined to document every moment of their honeymoon, everything. Even the non PG moments.

"Fitz we are not showing our kids this video."

"Why not?" Fitz asked behind the camera.

"Baby during this entire video, either your ass is showing or mine, or both of our asses are shown. Hell I'm naked now. Our kids do not need to know what I do to you in the bedroom."

Fitz laughed, "There are some kid friendly things in this video. What about the hike to that waterfall we went on. That was PG." It was barely PG, since Fitz kept focusing on her ass as she hiked up the hill in front of him. He couldn't help it with the little shorts she was wearing.

"Oh you mean the waterfall we had sex in?"

"Well we'll just fast forward through that. Now do you have anything to say to your husband of three days?"

"Hmm, let's see. I want to say that I am so happy right now. Happier than I've ever been in my entire life…"

"That's a lot of happy baby."

Olivia giggled, and continued. "…And that I love you so much and I can't wait to build my family with you, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you Fitz." She blows a kiss to the Camera, and Fitz pretends to catch it.

"I love you more Livvie."

"You better. Now come make love to your new wife again."

"With pleasure."

"Liv?" Abby tapped Olivia's shoulder.

Olivia hadn't realized they were talking to her, she was still lost in thought. Her fingers playing with the bracelet on her wrist. It had just occurred to her, that this was the same bracelet Fitz bought her on their honeymoon. She hadn't realized it until now, she didn't know how considering this was her favorite bracelet until Fitz gave her this beautiful sapphire and diamond bracelet for her birthday.

Come to think of it, over half the jewelry in her jewelry was a gift from Fitz. Some anniversary and birthday presents, others just because gifts and some were apology gifts. Fitz loved to shower her with gifts from jewelry, to a single rose on her pillow when she woke. It was one of the things she loved most about him, his generosity to other people.

"Hey, where'd you go? You've been zoned out for like five minutes."

"Nothing, just thinking about something. Now you miss missy, need to fix your hair because we are almost at out next destination." Just as she spoke, Charlie started cheering at the billboard sign that was coming up.

"Oh Lord." Erika said, making everyone laugh.

"Alright bride to be, for your last dare of the night."

"Anything is better than taking a shot off that guy's abs."

Olivia rolled her eyes, "Oh please you loved it and you know you did."

"You loved it, that's why you and Charlie did it twice."

"Hey I didn't say I didn't, and he wasn't complaining. Now, for your dare which really shouldn't be a dare because you've done it before. But anyway, you have to get a lap dance from a big, hunky and oily stripper!"

"Yes! I accept"

Twenty minutes later, the girls were sitting at their table, one of the best tables in the building. Enjoying the show. There was currently one sexy Santa on the stage and one of his little helpers giving Erika a lap dance. She was being shy at first, then the guy grabbed her hand and rubbed it down his abs and down to his crotch. Erika got excited then and after one more shot, she became giddy. This was a whole new side of her.

"Alright ladies do we have any bachelorettes in the building?" The announcer on the stage asked. He was wearing a particularly low pair of leather pants with a nice chiseled chest. The room exploded with women screaming, all of them wanting to be pulled on stage for a lap dance. "We're gonna pick three lucky women up for a lap dance." He pulled a folded piece pf paper from his back pocket and read the first name.

There was a high pitched scream from the back of the room and a woman in a barely there dress came running to the stage. Olivia could tell she had probably had one too many drinks tonight. But it was still hilarious how she fawned over the man that came on stage to give her a lap dance. She was grabbing as his ass, his chest and any other part she could get to.

When the first girl was finished, the second name was called. This time it was a shy woman, her friends had to push her to the stage, before two men carried her to the stage. The guy tried to coax her to play along, but she was too shy to even look at him.

When it was time to call the last girl's name, Olivia looked at Abby with this silly grin on her face. "Abby, can we get Abby up on the stage."

It was no surprise to Olivia, since she had called the club ahead of time and planned this.

"I love you Olivia!" Abby said as she made her way to the stage. She was sat in the same chair as the other two women. The first two men were sexy doctors and policemen. Abby's guy was a sexy fireman, she always did have a thing for men in uniform. Abby was far from shy as the guy dance for her. She participated a little too much if it was possible.

When she was finished, she said to Olivia. "If Stephen ask, I looked but didn't touch."

"Roger that."

Later that night, well early morning since they didn't get back to the hotel until four that morning, Abby and Olivia lay on the couch in the living room. They were in their hotel complementary white robes watching reruns of law and order: SVU, the ones with Stabler were their favorite, and eating chips and candy. Olivia always got the munchies whenever she drank. Everyone else had passed out the minute they got back to the room. Charlie didn't even bother with her clothes before she crashed in her bed.

"Thanks Liv."

"For what?" Olivia asked, eating flaming hot Cheetos.

"For this weekend obviously. I've had a blast, and we're only on day two. I can't imagine what you have planned for the rest of the week."

"Well tomorrow morning, or in a couple of hours I should say, I don't think we're going to be doing much. I don't think those light weights can take it." Olivia joked and Abby laughed because it was too true. She didn't remember Charlie being such a light weight. "And you're welcome, you have to enjoy your last days of freedom. Thea didn't have a bachelorette party, so you're the only sister I'll have the chance to do this for."

"Aww Liv." Abby hugged her around her neck.

"Oh come on now, don't start. I know how emotional you get when you drink or just in general."

"Yeah, well that'll be Stephen's problem come Saturday." Abby said. "I don't think I'll make it past the vows before I start crying."

"You won't even make it to the vows, you'll be crying coming down the aisle." Abby laughed. "You were crying at the rehearsal. You're just overly emotional. I pray for Stephen, the day he gets you pregnant."

Abby laughed out loud again, still a little buzzed from the previous hours. "I can't wait to get married Liv."

"And I know that Stephen can't wait to marry you."

"You think?"

"I know so. He's a lucky man and he knows it."

Abby smiled. "I love you Liv."

"I love you too."

Did anyone else catch that scene from Private Practice? I loved that show, and you may or may not see a few more scenes from Private Practice in future chapters.
