Chapter 18

Liz woke up to her phone ringing loudly. She reached her hand over on Otis's side of the bed but then she remembered he wasn't home from shift yet. Liz grabbed her phone and answered hoarsley.

"Hello? "

"Hey Lizzie"

"Antonio why are you calling me this early... I don't have to be in for work for another 3 hours! "

"I know I'm sorry...... Can you come over to my apartment real quick I wanted to talk to you about something. "

"Antonio.... You want me to drive over to your apartment at 5 in the morning and talk.... Are you ok? "

"Yeah I'm fine.... I just want to talk to you about tomorrow"

"Toni... Listen.... I.. I'm on my way. "

"Thank you.... I just want to let you know a few things before tommorow.... I love you I'll see you in a minute. "

"Ok I love you to bye"

Liz ground and rolled out of bed. She got up and put on her jeans, shirt, and boots. She clipped her badge to her belt and put her gun in her holster. She grabbed her keys and drove over to Antonio's apartment. She up the steps and locked on the door to see Antonio standing there looking like he had been crying.

"Hey Toni whats wrong" Liz said with a lot of concern in her voice

"I just need to talk to you"

"Ok.... Have you been crying.... "

"What!.... Me no.. I would never hey I'm your big brother I don't cry. "

"Yeah right says the guy who was balling his eyes out at the hospital while he was holding my hand. "

"Hey... I had a good reason to"

"Don't lie to me I know you've been crying. "

"Ok fine... I just... I can't believe that your getting married..... I can't accept it... I don't want to let you go"

"Toni I'm always gonna be there.... I'm never gonna leave you.... I will always be your little sister ok"

"Lizzie... I just I don't know if he's right for you.... What if he hurts you huh!?....would you tell me!  Be honest would you!!.... You wouldn't"

"Toni calm down.... Otis would never hurt me ok.... He loves me.. And I was really hoping that you would like him... But If you don't I understand"

"I... I'm sorry lizzie..... I do like him... It's just I don't want to trust anybody with my little sister. "

"Antonio Dawson look at me.... I am not so little anymore... As much as you hate it I'm grown up... I am very capable of protecting myself... But I know how protective you are and I know that dad isn't in town so u want you to give me away. "

"Lizzie I would be honored....just know I will kill him if he ever disrespects you! "

"I know you will.... now we have an hour and a half until we have to go in so what do you want to do"

"I don't know..."

"How about it make us some breakfast and we can watch some tv"

"Yep.... That sounds good"

Liz got off the couch and messed up Antonio's hair and walked into the kitchen. She made some batter and poured it in the pan, then she grabbed  some bacon out of the refrigerator and started to fry it. She grabbed two plates and put some pancakes and bacon on each, and on Antonio's she grabbed some whip cream and made a smilie face on it and handed him his plate.

"Very funny Lizzie"

"Yep.... Just mama used to make. "

"Yeah weirdly exactly like she used to make"

"Yeah I guess I have a gift"

They both finished eating and decided to head in early. When they got there they turned their computers on and started catching up on some paper work. Liz was submitting her report when she opened up her desk drawer and saw a bunch of cards that had her name written on them. Then it occurred to her this was the first time she was back at work since the incident. She reached in an grabbed a handful of these cards. She opened the first one that said

Lizzie I love you you'll always be my best friend and I know you'll feel better your the strongest person I know ill always have your back we love you.

                      Love, Kevin

Liz teared up and started to read the rest of them.

Liz your the strongest person I know your a great person don't ever change. I'm not to happy about you getting married but hey I'll get over it we all love you and are ready for you to get back to work so we can mess with you and so I don't have to deal with Antonio by myself.

                   Love, Voight

Hey partner I miss you and I hope you feel better your going to get through this we're all here for you and I will always have your back

                    Love your partner, Al

Liz read through all of the letter crying and laughing. She put them in her drawer and sat back in her chair.

"You ok Lizzie? " Antonio asked

"Yeah I'm ok... I'm great! " Liz said wiping her eyes

About that time Voight walked in and Liz shot up out if her chair and hugged him.

"Hey Lizzie"

"Thank you..... So much"

"I take it you got our letters"

"You guys are like family and you don't know how much those mean to me"

"We love you Lizzie"

Kevin walked in and Liz walked over and did their hand shake and gave him a big hug.

"Thanks Kev"

"Your welcome... We love you Lizzie"

Then Jay and Erin and Adam walked in.

"Thank you so much..... I love you guys"

"We love you to Lizzie"

Then Alvin walked in. Liz ran over and hugged him. Alvin held his arms out in shock, but then her wrapped his arms around her and said

"Sorry I'm not a hugger.... I take it you got my letter"

"Yeah I did partner" Liz said laughing

They all sat back down at their desks and started working on paper work for their last case. Voight walked out of his office and got everyone's attention.

"Ok everybody....we have a major breach in security. "

"What are you talking about? " Jay asked

"Miss Dawson is getting married tomorrow!"

"Oh yeah what are we gonna do about it" Jay asked with that evil smile of his

"I think we need to bring our weapons to this whole ordeal." Voight said with a smile

"So help me God if you morons show up to my wedding with guns on your sides I will kill you guys"

"Wow that's a lot of hostility there sis! "

"Listen here Antonio I will knock your teeth out boy and Gabby will help! "

"Wow... Lizzie.. "

"What you would do the same thing! "

"I know I'm just mad you wouldn't let me I  on that"

"Hey.... Since when did I become the enemy.... You know I'm gonna take that back"

"Yep... You should... No but seriously please I beg of you don't screw this up you guys have one job show up and have a good time. "

"You got it... But I'm not promising anything woth these guys" Adam said pointing around the room

"Adam your the one I was most worried about"

"Oh she got you! " Jay said pointing his  finger at Adam

"Jay I wouldn't if I where you..... Im worried about you to.... Just please... This goes for everybody... Don't set anything on fire, don't touch Otis, and please... Please be nice"

"Yes ma'am! " Kevin said laughing

"So where is the dress" Al asked

"I can't tell you that because you guys will try to find it before tomorrow"

"Oh come on..... " Jay said

"Guys she won't even tell me" Antonio said throwing a piece of paper at Liz

"I don't trust you! "

"I know how to get her to tell us " Kevin said walking over and soon Jay and Adam joined them with their puppy eyes and their pouty lips.

"No that's not fair!!..... Erin make them stop! "

"I don't know if I can"

"I'm not gonna tell you"

"Please Lizzie.... Please" Adam complained

"NO! "

"Dang I hope we never have to interrogate her because we won't be able to get anything out of her. " Voight said laughing

"You guys couldn't interrogate me....you love me to much" Liz said smiling

"I wouldn't be to sure about that... I think I could do it"

"Oh yeah.... Why don't we just put that to the test"

"How? "

"Somebody tell me something and Jay can try to get me to talk"

"Alright..... And if anybody ask this is work we are training each other for interrogations. " Voight said walking over and whispering something I  Liz's ear making her laugh.

"Alright here we go.... So miss Dawson what seems to be so funny. "

"Sorry I looked at your face" Liz said and Kevin's jaw dropped.

"Miss Dawson you've got one chance to tell me what he said"

"Or what"

"Or I'm gonna take you down to lock up and your gonna wish you'd never been born"

Those words rang through Liz's ears and remembered what the man who blew her car up said.

"What did you just say"

"I'm gonna take you down to lock up and your gonna wish you had never been born...,."

Antonio caught on to what Liz was thinking.

"Jay shut up" Antonio said

"What......"

"Don't ever say those words again" Liz said doing some manover and pushed jays face in the desk.

"Wow Lizzie hold on" Kevin said pulling her off of him

"Hey Lizzie I'm sorry I didn't mean to..... "

"Wow... You give up to easy" Liz said smiling

"That's not funny... Or fair"

"Life's not fair"

"Fine.... I'm not done with this interrogation sit back down missie"

"Fine go ahead.... Your not gonna win this"

"So what did he tell you"

"What did who tell me"

"Him! " Jay said pointing to Voight who was laughing at jays crappy attempt of interrogating Liz.

"I've never seen him in my life"

"I just saw you talking to him"

"What proof do you have do you have pictures.... Do you even have any evidence for this case detective because if not I am free to leave. " Liz said raising her eyebrow and smirking

"You are not free to leave!  I do have evidence!, and you will not speak to me like that!! " Jay said slamming his hands on Liz's desk.

Antonio stepped in front of his sister and said

"Hey!  Back off before I lay you out!!! "

Jay took his hands off the desk and walked closer to Liz.

"Sorry bro natural instinct" Antonio said backing up

"So miss Dawson... YOUR GONNA TELL ME WHAT HE SAID!! "

Liz got up out of her chair and started to walk out of the unit. Jay ran over and grabbed Liz by the arm and started to handcuff her but she grabbed him with her free arm rolled over his back put him in an arm bar and handcuffed him.

"Now I think this interrogation is over"

"Yeah Lizzie!! " Kevin yelled

"Ok let him up" Voight said laughing

"Aww do I have to! "

"Yeah let him up"

Liz let Jay off the floor and
Unhandcuffed him.

"Can you teach me that move" Jay said rubbing his wrists

"Not a chance.... "

"What did Voight tell you anyway"

Liz leaned over and whispered to Jay what Voight had told her. Jay laughed
And everyone got suspicious.

"Oh just tell us! "

"Ok ok...he said look at Antonio's forehead that vein when he gets nervous or mad is Buldgeing" Liz said laughing

"Really come on!!.... Do I really have a " Antonio ran into the bathroom and looked into the mirror

"Ok so I do"

Everyone laughed at Antonio and they sat back down at there desks.

"Ok people get your paper work done so our lovely bride to be can get home and get some sleep. "

Everyone hustled to get their work done. Once they all submitted their reports they grabbed their coats and said goodbye to Liz and Antonio drove Liz to his apartment.

"Hey I'm gonna head out I've got to go get some sleep and call my makeup girl.... Ill see you tomorro..... Love you"

"Love you to.... I'm so happy for you Lizzie" Antonio said wrapping her in a hug.

Liz walked to her car and drove over to her apartment. She walked in and hung her coat up.

"Hey babe"

"Hey beautiful... How was your day"

"It was great.... How was shift"

"Long and I missed you"

"I missed you to...ive got to make some calls real quick then we can snuggle because I missed you a lot"

"Oh a lot huh... Go make your calls then I'll be on the couch. "

"You got it"

Liz walked into the bedroom and put on her pajamas and plopped down on the bed. She called the photographer and her makeup girl and confirmed the time and location. Liz walked out of the bedroom. And grabbed a glass of wine. She walked over and layed down next to Otis.

"I can't believe we're getting married tomorrow"

"I can't either..... We better get some sleep "

"Yeah come on.... I have to get up at 7"

Otis  picked Liz up off the couch and carried her into the bedroom. The both layed down and tried to drift off to sleep. They where both so excited that when morning finally came they jumped out of bed before the alarm.  Otis grabbed all the things he needed kissed Liz goodbye and headed over to Joe's. Liz grabbed her shoes, a cup of coffee, and her keys and drove over to Erin's place. Liz got to Erin's door and knocked.

"There's our girl" Erin said opening the door and hugging Liz.

"Hey!...hows the dress, did Jay see it, how are you are you stressed out don't be stressed out... "

"Ok Lizzie calm down and come in..."

Liz walked in and saw Jay grabbing his tux and his keys.

"Hey I'm gonna head over to joe's.... Hey Lizzie! "

"Hey Jay... Tell Otis i said I love him"

"I will.... Your gonna look great today Lizzie"

"Thanks"

Liz and Erin waited till Jay left and ran into the closet and grabbed Liz's dress. They got the dress and headed to the car and drove to the fire house. When they got there Liz saw the apparatus floor and her jaw dropped.

"Wow!.... It's Geourgeous"

"It really is" Erin said also dropping her jaw.

The girls walked into the conference room and closed the blinds. Around that time the rest of the girls showed up got into their dresses. Liz sat down and she started getting her hair and makeup done. When she was done she started to get her dress on and then her veil.

"Lizzie you look beautiful..." Gabby said giving Liz a hug

"Thank you.... I'm so nervous"

"Don't be you look beautiful....." Stella said

"Ok let's get some pictures ladies" The photographer said

Liz, Gabby, Erin, Trudy, Brett, and Stella all gathered around and took pictures together.

(In the guys room)

All the guys had driven to the fire house and gone into chief's office.

"Guys how do I look I feel like I'm gonna hurl"

"You look great.... Know I have to go take pictures with liz" Antonio said fixing his tie and walking out of the room.

"You look great man... Just breathe" Cruz said grabbing Otis's shoulder.

"Your right"

(Back in the girls room)

Antonio walked into the room and Liz turned around to face him.

"Lizzie... You look.... You look gorgeous" Antonio said tearing up

"Thank you.... Looking sharp yourself mister" Liz said hugging him

"Ok let's get a picture of the bride and siblings"

Antonio walked to Liz's side and put his arm around her, and Gabby went to her other side and did the same.

"Alright let's get a picture of the bride and her brother"

Liz looked at Antonio and jumped on his back.

"Alright know one with the bride and sister."

Gabby walked over and her and Liz leaned in and held their bouques.

"Alright I'm all done in here"

"Thank you very much"

"Hey Lizzie everyone is starting to get here" Brett said walking back into the room.

"Ok..... Wow this is happening.... I think I'm freaking out"

"Ok hunny breathe... " Trudy said

"Lizzie you look so beautiful..... This is your big day ok enjoy it.. " Gabby said

"I love you guys... Now I have to go get married" Liz said with a smile and Antonio and her walked out of the room.

Otis was already waiting nervously at the end of the isle. Liz and Antonio stood behind the doors of the kitchen and waited for the music.

"Are you sure you want to do this"

"Im sure Toni.... "

"You look beautiful sis... Otis is the luckiest guy in the world"

"Thank you... I love you"

"Love you to"

The music started playing and Liz and Antonio started walking out of kitchen. Everyone got to their feet and  arm in arm Antonio started walking Liz down the isle tearing up. Otis's jaw dropped when he saw her she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"Who is giving the bride away" The minister asked

"Her brother" Antonio said lifting Liz's Vail from in front of her face, giving her a kiss and then getting behind matt.

"We are gathered here today to celebrate the joining of Brian zvonecek, and Elizabeth Dawson. Before we begin are there any objections. "

Liz and Otis looked around the room and Liz saw that look in Alvin and Voights eye and she sort of shook her head and they both started laughing.

"Now Elizabeth Dawson do you take Brian Zvonecek to be you lawfully husband through the hard times and the joyful times, to encourage him in all times, to have and to hold, to love and to cherish in sickness and in health till death do you part? "

"I do" Liz said smiling

"And do you Brian Zvonecek take Elizabeth Dawson to be your lawfully wedded wife through the hard times and the joyful times, to encourage her through all times, to have and to hold, to love and to cherish in sickness and in health till death do you part? "

"I... I.. Do" Otis said smiling and Antonio made sure of it.

"I Now pronounce you husband and Wife... You may now kiss the bride"

Otis smiled and grabbed Liz and leaned her back and kissed her. Everyone began clapping and the music began to play. Otis and Liz starred into each other's eyes as the minister announced

"For the first time ever I give you Mr. And Mrs.  Brian Zvonecek"

They both faced everyone and Liz threw her arms up in the air and cheered. All of the bridesmaids and groomsmen gathered around Liz and Otis and the photographer got a picture.

"Now let me get our bride and groom."

Otis picked Liz up and Liz held her bouque.

Once they all had taken their pictures everyone gathered around Liz and Otis.

"I'm so happy for you guys" Natalie said said hugging them both

"Thx Nat"

"You look so beautiful!" April said giving Liz a hug

"Yeah you look great Lizzie.... I'm so happy for you guys" Ethan said

"Thx guys."

"Congrats you to..... You look so beautiful Lizzie" Donna said as chief walked over to her

"Thank you! "

"Hey babe let's go dance" Otis said grabbing Liz by the hand.

They both headed to the dance floor they had set up where the trucks are usually parked.while Liz and Otis where dancing the song that was playing suddenly stopped and another song started playing and all the guys ran over screaming and picked Otis up and the girls dragged Liz back so she wouldn't get trampled.the guys had Otis in the air screaming and jumping.

"They are insane! "

"Yeah you better watch out I think your next! " Stella said when she saw the guys put Otis down, finally, and start running toward Liz

"Oh crap! "

The guys ran over and picked Liz up and a couple of them picked Otis up again and both groups met in the middle.  Liz grabbed otis's hand and leaned over and kissed him.

"Our friends are crazy! "

"Yeah they are.... I think Voight and Alvin brought their guns! " Otis yelled

"Are you kidding me!....(Liz turned around)  HANK, AL!! "

Voight and Alvin saw Liz and started to run

"Get em boys! " Liz yelled

The guys ran over and put Liz down who grabbed Voight and Alvin on the arm.

"Hold it.... Let me see your waistband."

They both pulled back their jackets and Liz saw their guns.

"Go put them in your cars! "

"We just where making sure this place was secure. "

"Uh huh go put it in your car.... "

Antonio walked over and grabbed Liz's hand and took her over to the dance floor.

"Can I have this dance? "

"You may"

Antonio took Liz's hand and spun her around.

"You still remember that dance competition we did my senior year"

"Oh yeah..."

"You remember our routine"

"Like it was yesterday" Antonio said

Liz and Antonio started to do their tango routine. Everyone's jaw dropped when they saw them, they never would have thought that Liz or Antonio could dance like that! As the song ended and Antonio dipped Liz one more time everyone clapped and whistled.

"Dang Lizzie where did you learn to dance like that!? " Kelly said

"Antonio taught me everything I know..... He also taught me everything I know about boxing"

"Yep sure did" Antonio said with a proud look

"Um excuse me can I have this dance" Otis said extending his hand

"Yes, yes you may"

Otis put his hands around Liz's waist and Liz put her arms around his neck.  Before the song started Antonio leaned over to Otis and said

"Watch your hands bud"

"You got it"

The song started and Liz and Otis swayed to the beat.

"You look so beautiful"

"Thank you... You look very handsome yourself"

"Why thank you....this is the best night of my life.... I don't ever want it to end. "

"I don't either.... I could stay in your arms forever"

"You can" Otis said with I smile

"I love you"

"I love you to" Otis said kissing her slowly as the song ended and everyone cheered.

"Alright ladies gather around im about to throw my bouque! "

All the girls gathered around and Liz got on the back of one of the trucks and threw it backwards. As it flew through the air Bret, who was in the front, jumped up and caught it. Bret turned toward Antonio and raised her eyebrow at him. Otis walked over and whispered to Liz

"My turn"

Liz laughed and sat down in the chair in the middle of the room. Otis got down and reached into Liz's dress. At the sight of it it took every ounce of him not to walk over and deck Otis and everyother guy from intelligence but they cheered any way. Otis pulled off Liz's garter and all the guys gathered around and Otis threw her garter and Jay caught it. Erin raised her eyebrow and looked at him with a big smile. Everyone gathered around Liz and Otis as they stood bye the cake. Otis cut a piece and Liz picked it up and rubbed it all over his mouth and then Otis did the same. They both laughed uncontrollably and wiped the cake off of their mouths. Once they had gotten their cake and had gone back to their table it was time for toasts.

"Excuse me if I could have your attention please...... I would like to make a toast to my wonderful sister and my brother in law that they would have a long and happy life together.... I love you guys.... Cheers" Antonio said raising his glass

"Cheers! " Everyone replied

"I would also like to make a toast... Now I don't know much about Otis but Liz you are the most determined, hard working, and amazing girl I have ever met.... Congratulations to both of you guys love you" Voight said

"I would like to toast to my partner who always has my back and I'll always have hers....we ride together we die together.... Good luck and congratulations partner" Alvin said raising his glass and smiling.

"I wanna make a toast to the both of these crazy people.... From the moment I first met Liz I knew she was gonna be good for somebody and when Otis stayed at the hospital with her I knew they where perfect..... Congratulations to both of you and no more pranks please! " Chief Boden said raising his glass.

As everyone finished toasting Liz and Otis it started to get late so Otis and Liz walked over to the car that was decorated with cans and on the back windshield was written 'just married'.

"Bye you guys! " Gabby yelled to them

"Bye everybodyeverybody!! " Liz called as Otis carried her over to the passenger side.

They both got in the car and Otis started to drive back to the apartment. Liz started to take her hair down and take off her veil.

"What are you doing" Otis said laughing

"Just getting comfortable" Liz said with a grin.

"Oh yeah "

"Yeah" Liz said leaning over and kissing Otis on the cheek

"We're here" Otis said getting out of the car and walking over to Liz's side.

Otis picked her up and carried her to the door fumbling with his keys as Liz held onto him kissing him. Once he finally got the door open he walked in and kicked it closed. Liz kicked off her heels and Otis unbuttoned her dress and unzipped it. Liz unbuttoned Otis's shirt and pulled it off. Otis picked Liz up and carried her into the bedroom and kicked the door closes once again.

(Back at the fire house)

"That was awesome! " Jay said wrapping his hands around Erin's hips and Voight shooting him a look.

"Yeah... Lizzie looked amazing" Adam said

"She really did.... And I have to say Antonio I'm very proud of you" Erin said

"Why? " Antonio asked confused

"Because you didn't deck Otis when he stuck his hand up Liz's dress to get her garter. " Erin said making everyone laugh(except the guys in intelligence)

"Yeah don't think I wasn't thinking about doing it"

"I think we all where" Kevin said straightening his tie.

"Oh come on guys it's a tradition" Matt said walking up behind Gabby and kissing her

"Yeah I guess" Kevin said

"Does anybody want any more Champaign" Trudy said stepping into the crowd holding a now empty glass.

"Yep" Stella said pulling Kelly's arms away from her hips and walking over to the bar with Trudy.

"I'm gonna start cleaning up" Gabby said handing her glass to Matt

"Here let's help" Chief said

They all started taking down decorations and the guys grabbed some brooms. About an hour later they had cleaned up the floor and the guys pulled the truck back in. Once they had all said their goodbyes they headed home. Liz and Otis are married!! They finally are together and can be happy. The hard parts over now it's smooth sailing from this point on. Or is it?  Who knows what could happen next after all this is Chicago... Anything could happen!
