Chapter 5
*Previously: Elliot immediately, pulled her close. "Shhhh." He soothed, hugging her tight. "Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?" "Bring my parents back?" "No, I cant do that, sorry. But.." Elliot said, digging in his coat pocket. "I can ask you to be my wife." "For real?" She sniffled. "For real." Elliot got down on one knee and opened a small velvet box. "Olivia Benson, will you marry me?" He asked, slipping a gold band with a diamond with aquamarine stones around it, her birthstone. "Yes. Yes!" She exclaimed, hugging him around the neck, and kissing him passionately. Outside the window 2 figures watched them. *
"What do you think is happening?" One man asked the other shivering.
"Shut up Fin." Munch hissed. "I want to try to hear something."
"Okay, have a hernia, why don't you?"
"I will, thanks. Now SHUT UP."
Fin leaned against the wall while Munch pressed the side of his face against the glass trying to hear what was happening between Olivia and Elliot.
*Now back to our lovers. =D *
"Elliot, don't look now but doest that face look familiar?" Olivia laughed.
He turned around and looked. "Yeah. Watch this."
Elliot walked over to the window and pressed his face back. Munch jumped and fell backwards. Fin moved in front of the window, keeling over laughing, and waved.
From the ground, Munch called out, "A little help here?"
"Nah.Fine, hang on, Olivia is about to tell ME what's happening."
Olivia put her index, middle and ring finger up. Fin looked, shaking his head in disbelief, so she opened the window so he could see the ring.
"Olivia! Is that an engagement ring?" Fin asked.
"Yeah." "And who's the lucky man?" Fin asked knowing who it was.
Elliot walked up. "Me."
"Go figure! You're at his apartment and you are engaged. Wow, well, congrats! I think Munch would say the same but he is on the ground." Fin said, looking down at his partner.
"I bet he would" Olivia said, laughing.
"Its not funny!" Munch yelled from the ground.
"Yeah it is."
"Get your ass down here and help me up, already, damn it."
"I'll be right back." Fin said, walking down the steps, to help Munch up. Olivia and Elliot stuck their heads through the window and watched.
"Thanks."
"Sure, well, don't you want to go up there and congratulate them?"
"I guess."
Munch and Fin walked up the stairs and were let in before they could even knock.
"Hey, congrats. Its not very often you hear about partners especially in this precinct get married." Fin said.
"Yeah, well what we have is special. Right El?" Olivia asked, poking him in the side with her elbow.
He rubbed the spot, and muttered something under his breath. Finally a minute later he responded, "Yes, we do."
Olivia half smiled, and half looked like 'what the hell happened?'
(A/N: I use that phrase and if you don't get it right away, don't spend time rereading, it means she looked very confused and puzzled. If you did get it, I'm sure most did, great! Me shut up and you keep reading)
Elliot leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Did you HAVE to jab your elbow into my ribs?"
"I wasn't aiming for your ribs, actually" She whispered back, both oblivious Munch and Fin were still standing there.
They continued to talk and laugh until finally Munch cut in with "Um? Olivia, Elliot? We're going to go, I mean, its obvious you need your alone time."
Olivia stopped laughing for a moment. "No, stay, we'll celebrate."
"Yeah, we'll celebrate." Elliot agreed, opening a cupboard and mini- fridge next to it and peered in. "I have red wine, white wine, champagne, cognac, bourbon." Elliot named off what he had.
"How bout champagne?" Fin suggested.
Munch agreed so Elliot took a bottle out and popped the cork. Olivia grabbed 4 glasses and poured half a glass each.
"Here's to a happy marriage, and happiness to us all." Elliot toasted.
"Cheers" Olivia, Munch and Fin said together.
Clinking glasses, another person appeared.
A/N: The party just keeps getting bigger doesn't it? As I said before, get your minds out of the gutter. I'm not that demented. (at least I don't think I am). =D. Who do you think it is now peering in? Review and find out. Look for chapter 6, coming soon.
