A Protector's Love [Benson and Carisi]

{Twenty-Six}

Months passed quickly for the pair and before they knew it their wedding was a week out and they weren't stressed at all. They had picked a gorgeous venue in Massapequa, that not only Olivia and Dominick fell in love with, but Olivia's parents did as well. Robert had sat down with his daughter and finalized the menu a few weeks ago and everything was running smoothly.

"Four days, " Dominick spoke wrapping his arms around his fiancee.

"Four days, " she hummed gently rolling over to face him.

"God, I can't wait to be married to the most gorgeous girl in the entire world, " Dominick spoke placing a kiss to Olivia's forehead.

She felt her face get hot as a blush crept up her cheeks, "I can bet a million dollars I don't look very cute right now, " Olivia giggled.

"It's not makeup or an outfit that makes you beautiful, baby. It's natural for you, making you beautiful no matter what you look like, " Dom spoke kissing the tip of her nose.

"Dominick, " Olivia sighed gently.

"Sh, you know what makes you beautiful, your nose the way it scrunches up when you smile or laugh. Your eyes, the way they sparkle in the sun or starlight, the way they light up when you see a baby or a dog. Your freckles, the way they make your face sparkle, God I wish you left them uncovered more, " he peppered kisses over her cheeks, "your giggle and laugh make you beautiful, they are music to my ears every day. I love you, Olivia Margaret Benson, not for your body although it does add to my love, I love you for your personality and all the things that are just you."

"Dominick, " Olivia squeaked pulling him into a loving kiss.

"I love you, " Dominick spoke when they pulled apart.

"I love you, " Olivia whispered as their foreheads rested against each other, "but, I have to get up and get ready. I have some last-minute wedding things to do today with my bridal party."

"Sounds good, I have to do a last try on for my tuxedo and pick up my tie and things. I'll see you back here tonight for dinner though?"

"You will, what are we having?" Olivia asked getting out of bed and moving to her closet.

"I was thinking, chicken parm? Italian recipe passed down through Carisi generations, " Dominick smiled perching himself up on his elbows.

"Sound delicious, " Olivia hummed kissing him once more before moving to the shower.

Olivia left for the day to work with her bridal party on some finishing touches. While Dominick moseyed around the house for a while before heading out to the Brooks and Brothers to pick up his suit. The navy three-piece suit looked amazing on Dominick perfectly tailored to every muscle in his body.

"When's the wedding?" The young female cashier asked as she checked Dominick out.

"Saturday and I can't be more excited to marry the love of my life, " Dom spoke swaying on his feet.

"Congratulations and best of luck, " the young girl spoke handing Dominick the bag.

"Thank you, have a nice day, " Dominick spoke leaving and heading back to the apartment.

Across town, Olivia was in a bridal shop trying on her dress for what would be the last time before the wedding. Stepping into the gorgeous white gown the worked helped Olivia zip the gorgeous fabric around her body. The lace A-line top with a gorgeous layered and flowy skirt, Olivia couldn't contain her excitement at how well the dress fit her.

"Wow, " Madalyn spoke watching Olivia enter the room in her dress for the first time.

"Do you like it?" Olivia asked nervously, praying her soon to be mother-in-law approved.
