Weddings, Superheroes, and Raisins

Ch.1

A knock rapped at Olivia's apartment door. She fully expected it to be Elliot, coming to invite her for a drink or to visit or perhaps in her dreams, though it would never happen in this lifetime, portray his undying love for her. She laughed at her last thought before opening the door. Her eyes widened in shock, and then she smiled and wrapped her arms around the man. "Simon! What are you doing here?" Her brother had a gleam in his eyes, a gleam she never saw before. His smile was wide and cheerful, not just because of the visit to his sister. "Olivia....I'm getting married." Olivia's eyes widened, and her smile spread. "You proposed to Lucy? That's great! I'm so happy for you two!" She simply assumed he came to tell her, so she turned and nodded to let him know she was glad he told her. He grabbed her arm. "No wait...Lucy and I talked and we both agreed...we want you to be the maid of honor." Olivia wasn't emotional, but her voice was choked with it when she was sure she heard him right. "You want me...to be in the wedding?" He hugged her once again. "More than anything, sis." She took in a deep breath. "Simon, I'd love to be your maid of honor. I've never been at a wedding before though." she replied. "Don't worry, Lucy will explain it to you if you have any questions. We just wanted you to be a part of it. A part of our family." She smiled at the kind man's offer. "I wouldn't miss it for the world."

They hugged once more, an appreciative gesture between brother and sister. And as they said goodbye, about an hour later, she called Lucy. "Olivia! I'm glad you called! Did Simon already come by?" Lucy's sweet voice smiled through the phone. "Yeah, Lucy. Listen, I'm not sure of what exactly I have to do...I mean I don't know what your religion is, and I've never been in a wedding before." Lucy let out a giggle. "No don't worry. It's a piece of cake. And may I say the wedding cake's gonna be fuckin awesome! And by the way, you can't come unless you bring a date!" Olivia rolled her eyes, grinning at her joke. "You could bring a certain tall man, with blue eyes, and short hair. What's his name?" Olivia immediately blushed, almost forgetting about Elliot for a second. "Elliot. Elliot Stabler...and don't think he'll come. He's married." She could feel Lucy's devilish smirk over the phone. "Honey, that didn't stop three of my sisters and look where they are." Olivia laughed. "Yeah, where is your second sister? Still a hooker on St. Paul Avenue?" Lucy giggled. "Hey, it pays well."

"Well if you don't bring a date, my oldest sister, Cecilia will NEVER let you forget it. It's a little immature, but her pet peeve is seeing people without dates at parties. I hate her for it, but I'm giving you a fair warning. She will absolutely embaress you. But don't worry, if you don't have one...I'll slug her for you." Olivia laughed. "I won't let her bother me. I'll be fine." She heard Lucy sigh. "Well, alright. I'm glad you agreed to come. You don't know how much this means to me." She smiled. "No worry. I wouldn't miss it for the world." They said goodbye and hung up, and Olivia grinned, happy she could be part of a family. She laid down on the couch, and turned on the TV, flipping through various channels. She finally got hooked on conveniantly a wedding dress show. It was mixed in with modeling and how to have an amazing reception. She sighed and decided it was the best thing she could find. It was about at the time when they were talking about making the perfect wedding bouquet that Elliot knocked on the door. It was obvious it was him. "Liv, its me." Olivia smiled at the sound of his voice. Getting up, she walked over and opened the door, matching Elliot's grin and stare. "Thought you needed some company?" She nodded her head to let him come in. "Well, I would have liked somebody else, but I'll settle for you." Rolling his eyes, he was moved past her and settled on the couch. "Uhhh...since when did you start watching wedding sitcoms?"

She laughed as he had a clueless face plastered on himself. "Simon came over a while ago." She immediately noticed his muscles tense, almost ready for her to say something negative that her half-brother did to her. ".....He and Lucy are getting married." she softly sighed as she sat down beside him. He half smiled. "Well, thats great. Did he just come over to tell you that?" He sounded irritated then, but she ignored it. "Umm....no....I'm the maid of honor." His eyes widened as he stared at her. Then a few seconds later, he threw his head back, laughing hard and good like it was a joke. "What the hell is so funny?" she asked, annoyed he would laugh at such a joyful thing. "Didn't think he had the nerve to propose to Lucy?" He only laughed harder, and then she elbowed him in the gut, wanting to kick his ass out. "I'm sorry Liv...its just that...you don't know the first thing about weddings." He got up, automatically going to her fridge to get a beer.

She didn't mind that, though she was still pissed he was laughing at her. "It's not funny, you bastard. Lucy said she would tell me what to do, so I think I can do a pretty good job." He was in the middle of taking a swig when she stated that, so he stifled a laugh as not to spit out the beer on her or anywhere. "I hope you choke on that alchohal, you little prick." He laughed softer and then shook his head. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's just not you to be in a wedding. I can't even imagine." She rolled her eyes and playfully punched him in the arm. "Well, if you're so sure I don't know what I'm doing, then you can come with me. Lucy said I could bring someone." He had a sparkle in his eyes that told her something, but he refused to let her see it. "Fine, maybe I will. When is the wedding?" She smiled. "In a month, apparently. I guess they can get it together pretty fast." He grinned. "Fine then. I can have time off for that." Raising an eyebrow, she challenged him. "Don't forget to tell Kathy." His eyes widened a little at that comment, but his grin spread. "I won't. And its a date."
