This is the last chapter! Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed and I hope you've all enjoyed this story! The support meant a lot.
It had been three weeks that Olivia had been back in SVU. Of course it had come as a shock and Cragen had almost needed to be hospitalized after being so surprised but he seemed to be okay after pondering it over.
Ed Tucker finally realized that everyone hated Dani Beck and Elliot's success rate was dropping so he transferred Beck out to be put back in a different division, and once again, Olivia was allowed to be his partner.
"I'm only allowing this because of the fact that you will be getting married and it won't be considered inter department dating anymore, and well your close rate was so good." Tucker stated to the pair looking as if he'd rather eat dung.
"Thank you," Olivia said holding onto Elliot happy they were together again.
"Finally, someone gave you your brain back." Elliot said rudely. Olivia's eyes widened but Tucker only chuckled before he left.
Melinda and Alex were excited about having their best friend back and of course Elliot's children were excited about getting a mother again. Olivia couldn't believe how good life was and hoped it never changed.
"Olivia?" Olivia turned around and saw Dean Porter standing on the corner waiting there.
"Dean!" Olivia said hugging him. "How have you been?"
"I've been better." He said laughing almost in a sad tone. He had heard through the grape vine that Olivia was getting married to Elliot.
"I wanted to say Congratulations," Dean said as he quickly kissed her cheek and pulled away not wanting it to be true, but he also wanted her to be happy which she was.
"Thank you, I wanted to send an invitation, but well, you hid yourself well."
"When is it?"
"This Saturday, everything's planned. Just be there."
"I will, I'll get the address later, be safe okay? I can't be watching your ass all the time." He teased.
"I got someone else now." Olivia winked as she began walking away back to the precinct.
"Olivia, you look so beautiful!" Alex said as she looked at her friend in her wedding dress.
It was a simple strapless dress with a very faint floral pattern that went around the bust and slid down on one side of the dress. It was almost a corset like dress with it completely containing her breasts but also letting them be visible. She also noted it helped her stand straight since it was so fitted. It then flowed out completely to reach the floor with a slight train.
"Elliot is really lucky." Melinda said softly. She knew that Elliot and Olivia deserved each other and were happy.
"Thank you, I can't believe I'm getting married!" Olivia said glancing at the beautiful sapphire ring Olivia had gotten. She remembered their conversation they had one time from the Marines.
"Do you like diamonds?"
"Why?"
"Just answer the question, Benson." It was rare that he called her that except when she would try to avoid a question.
"Well, I actually like sapphire...it matches your eyes." Olivia said as she reached up to touch his cheek.
"Sapphire?"
"Yes, it's a gem, and I think of it when I see your eyes."
"Okay, sapphire it is."
"Why?"
"That is something for me to know and you to not find out."
And of course, Elliot had remembered and when he knelt down on one knee and asked the most important question in his life.
"Olivia Benson, I love you from the first day we met, you were my rock and you are the love of my life, you have made me become the man I was supposed ot be, I love you and I would be the happiest man if you married me."
"No." Olivia said before she leaned down with Elliot and held his cheek.
"I love you Elliot, but you don't have to ask me, I will always love you." He picked her up and swung her around laughing as the snow began falling down.
So here he was standing in the dressing room of the wedding wall waiting to get married. Fin, Munch, Dickie, Javier and Cragen were with him.
"So you nervous?" Fin asked as he helped Elliot adjust his bow tie.
"Yes, this is the first time I'm marrying someone I love." Elliot looked at himself, looking at his dark blue bow tie matching the bridesmaids dresses and the ribbon in Olivia's hair.
"I can't believe this day has finally come!" Munch added as he straightened his bow tie too.
"Dada!" Javier said from his seat as once again he had pulled off his bow tie. Elliot walked over and picked him up and adjusted the bowtie back on. Since Javier was young he was wearing a jumpsuit tuxedo with a clip on bow tie but he had more fun ripping it off than keeping it on. And over the three weeks he had attached to Elliot like glue.
"Daddy, where are my sisters?" Dickie said as he yanked on Elliot's pant legs.
"They are with Olivia."
Olivia looked at herself again in the mirror and looked at the three girls around her, they were also wearing the same shade as their father except theirs was in their dresses. Maureen, Kathleen and Lizzie stood around Olivia glancing at themselves.
"I'm glad you're becoming our mother." Lizzie whispered as she held onto the dress.
"Me too. You've been our mother than Kathy ever was." Maureen said as she smiled at the smile on Olivia's face.
"Dad's lucky." Kathleen commented as she adjusted her hair.
"Oh Elliot is definitely a lucky man." Alex said as she looked at Olivia's beautiful frame and shape and how the wedding dress made her glow.
"Are you ready?" Melinda asked as she began to hear the processional music play.
"As ready as I'll ever be." She said as she grabbed her blue bouquet and her future children grabbed their white ones. Alex and Melinda quickly followed to get in front of Olivia and behind the children.
Elliot was waiting for Olivia at the front of the altar, and while he hadn't seen the wedding dress yet he knew it would be gorgeous. Lizzie walked down the aisle first, with Kathleen and then Maureen following after. Alex walked down slowly and then Melinda and finally, Olivia stepped into the doorway with Cragen walking her down the aisle. True he wasn't her father, but she felt like he'd be a good substitute since he acted like a father to her.
Elliot's jaw dropped when he saw the beautiful dress she was wearing and couldn't believe he was marrying her. She smiled at him as she walked slowly down her breathing become more excited as she realized this was the moment.
Finally she stood in front of Elliot and held his hands.
"Do you Olivia Regan Benson take Elliot Thomas Stabler as your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, and promise to be faithful until death due you part?"
"I do." Elliot slid the gold band onto her hand next to her engagement ring.
Do you, Elliot Thomas Stabler take Olivia Regan Benson as your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, and to promise to be faithful until death due you part?"
"I do." Olivia slid his golden band onto his left finger and gave a squeeze.
"You may kiss the bride." Elliot slid his hands from her hands and one at the nape of her neck as he pulled her into the most passionate kiss he could give in public. A huge whoop and shouts came from the crowd as they kissed. As they turned to look at the crowd they saw their children smiling and waving.
Epilogue: 3 years later
"Javier you will make us all be late if you do not hurry up!" Elliot yelled upstairs to his son as he was getting dressed.
"Oh Eli, come on, don't cry, Mommy is trying to help you get dressed." A 2 year old toddler fussed in the arms of Olivia as she tried to get him dressed in a nice jacket.
"Mom! Dickie's doing it again!" Kathleen shouted.
"Stop Dickwad!" Kathleen shouted at her 15 year old brother who had just thrown something at her.
"Stop calling me Dickwad than!" He shouted back.
"Knock it off you two!" Maureen said in a bossy voice.
"Oh who died and made you master?" Dickie said.
"Yeah?" Kathleen asked.
"Come you guys let's please try not to be nuts." Olivia said sastified that Eli was dressed.
"Javier!" Olivia shouted.
"I'm coming!" The 5 year old boy trudged down the stairs hating the fact that he had to wear a ridiculous outfit.
"This looks stupid, Mom!" He whined to her.
"Well, tell that to you Aunt Alex when you see her, she chose this wedding scheme. Javier looked at his pink and green suit.
"She was on crack." Dickie whispered to his younger brother who promptly giggled.
"Don't teach him that!" Elliot boomed as he finished tying his hideous tie.
"He's right." Olivia whispered as she shaded her eyes from his bright pink suit and green tie. Adjusting her necklace and watch, she picked up Eli and his stroller.
"Let's go!" Elliot said as they climbed into the sedan.
Alex's wedding was beautiful except for her color scheme. She married Trevor Langan in the middle of the day and when the ceremony was over all Olivia congratulated her and hugged her best friend.
All 8 Stablers stood looking at the sunset on the dock. Olivia was leaning into Elliot while holding on to Eli, Javier was in Elliot's arms. Maureen leaned into her mother with Kathleen on the other side and Dickie and Lizzie on their father's side.
After All the stops and starts,
We keep coming back to these two hearts,
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall.
After All that we've been through,
It all comes down to me and you.
I guess it's meant to be,
Forever you and me, After All.
"I love you, El."
"I love you, Liv."
The End.
