^^ Picture of Liv's Outfit and the Song 
                          
 I turn off my blow dryer, shaking out the loose curls. 
                          
I step out of the bathroom and I hear music blasting through the speakers in the living room.
                          
"Baby, I could die a happy man..."
                          
He loves that song. So do I. 
                          
I feel his hands on my waist and I smile. He spins me around grin, wrapping my arms around his neck as he twirls me back and forth. 
                          
"Dance with me..." He whispers against my lips. 
                          
"Honey, you already made me late..." I say with a soft smile. 
                          
I was supposed to be getting ready for Melinda's baby shower. 
                          
But Elliot had pulled me into a kiss and we had tumbled into bed. 
                          
He kisses me again as he grabs me by the waist. 
                          
"You look good like this..." He says with a soft smile. 
                          
"I was thinking of wearing this to the baby shower, what do you think?" I ask with a grin. 
                          
"Yes. My button up and a thong. Perfect for a baby shower." He says laughing. 
                          
The laughter fades away and I look into my husbands eyes. He has a soft smile on his face and tears brimming in his eyes as I press my palm to his cheek, my thumb brushing away the tear that had escaped. 
                          
"Good god I love you..." He says, kissing me again, "Always have and I always will..."
                          
I step up on my tip toes, connecting our lips. 
                          
He dips me backwards and pulls me up into a kiss again. 
                          
"Go..." He says pulling away and slapping my ass, "Go get ready, I don't want to make you any later."
                          
I smile softly as I walk into our bedroom. 
                          
I pull on my favorite black dress and my red heels. I grab the cream clutch off the bed and walk into the living room. I put in the sapphire drop earrings Elliot bought for me awhile ago. 
                          
"Holy fuck." Elliot says, his mouth open slightly, "I mean... Wow..."
                          
"You like the dress?" I ask, biting the corner of my lip. 
                          
"You could say that." He says pulling me into another kiss. 
                          
I pull away, putting a little more sway in my hips than usual as I walk out the door. 
                          
Elliot whistles and I laugh. 
                          
I pull up in front of the restaurant and hands the keys to my Lexus to the vallet. 
                          
I walk through the restaurant and am greeted by all my girlfriends. 
                          
Alex, Casey, Melinda, and Abbie. 
                          
"You look great, Mel..." I say, giving her a hug. 
                          
"Never better than you, Liv..." She says with a chuckle. 
                          
We eat lunch altogether before my phone starts ringing. 
                          
"Stabler." I say into the phone, having listening, but still laughing with my friends. 
                          
Goddamnit. 
                          
"Sorry guys..." I say, "Cragen needs me."
                          
I say goodbye to all of them, hugging Melinda before I leave. 
                          
Cragen wants me to head to the hospital. A pregnant 16 year old showed up after having fallen in the shower without her parents. One of her friends drove her. Her friend looks only slightly older and is about six months pregnant.
