Chapter 1

It has been almost a year since Rafael Barba and Olivia Benson finally expressed their love for each other and they both couldn't be happier. The reason I say almost a year is because tonight is their one year anniversary. Rafael has the whole night planned out but hasn't indicated to Olivia that he's doing anything for it. She thought he must have forgotten but that is not the case whatsoever.

It was a very dull day at the office, no calls, no nothing. Olivia sat at her desk just waiting for the clock to hit the number five so she could finally get out of this place. She kept looking at her phone for some indication from Rafael that he didn't forget about their anniversary but of course, no call nor text. She started to get a little irritated with him but she had no idea what was in store for tonight. She fought the urge to call him to yell at him for forgetting but maybe he was busy.

"Uh, Liv, you alright?" She put her phone down to see Nick standing in the doorway of her office.

"Yeah, I'm fine. What's up?"

"It's dead here, Liv and I was wondering if…"

"Go home, Nick. I'm about to head out myself."

"Got any plans for tonight," he reminded her of her very forgetful boyfriend.

"Nope. Probably watching Frozen with Noah for the hundredth time." Nick smiled and shut the door behind him.

Olivia went home to relieve Lucy of her babysitting duties for the day but she refused to leave. Ok, what's going on with her?

"Are you alright? Is there something wrong?"

"No, I'm fine. I just…can't…tell…"

"Can't tell me what. Lucy you know you can tell me anything."

"Not this," she smiled. Olivia looked at her questionably. Ok this is really weird now. Just then, she felt her phone go off. She took it out to see Barba's face on her phone, she looked up at Lucy who just smiled.

"Where the hell are you?" She was beyond irritated at this point.

"I'm on my way home. Do me a favor, go in the bedroom and find that lovely blue dress I like so much."

"You have some nerve, Rafael."

"I know you're mad at me but please, you have to trust me." She rolled her eyes and reluctantly agreed.

She fumbled with the dress for a while, of course it looked elegant on her but it was the biggest pain in the ass to put on and take back off. She had no idea what was going on. Rafael usually gets home before she does but this time he wasn't and then told her to put this thing on. Then she heard the sound of the door slam in the kitchen, she knew Barba was home. She had half the mind to run out and smack him but she thought better of it, she knew there would be an explanation at some point. But when she went into the kitchen, she was stunned. There he stood in a snow-white tuxedo and a blue bowtie that matched her dress. She was in complete and utter shock at what stood before her; he even shaved. He was almost in much shock as she was, her blue dress complimented his blue vest and bowtie under his white tuxedo very well.

He walked over and kissed her cheek and said, "You look more than stunning. Happy anniversary."

"Oh so you didn't forget," she joked.

"You really think I'd forget this?" She felt her cheeks get hot then she turned to Lucy.

"So this is why you didn't want to leave."

"Guilty," she laughed.

"Oh no, she's innocent until proven guilty," Barba joked. Olivia rolled her eyes and held out her hand, saying her goodbyes to her son and Lucy. They walked into the night life of New York City, hand in hand, cherishing every moment they had with each other on this night. Olivia looked at the light shining of Rafael's face and smiled. "What are you thinking about?"

"Our lives. And how I want to start it."

"Oh but mi amor, we already started it," he said as he kissed her forehead.
