I recently became a shipper of this ship, so bare with me for now. I've also only seen a few episodes of CPD, so if I wrote any of those characters wrong, don't hesitate to tell me. I own nothing, but the plot. This is also a gift to my Twitter mom. I hope you guys enjoy.

"Come on, Noah. You're almost there." Olivia said as she watched Noah walked towards her. He had just started walking a few days ago, and Olivia couldn't be happier.

He giggled and continue to stumble towards her until a knock at the door startled him, and caused him to fall down. He was scared for a moment, but broke out into a smile.

"Coming." Olivia got up from the floor and helped Noah stand back up so they both could walk to the door. She looked through the peephole and was surprised to see Hank. She smiled and opened the door. "Well, look what the wind blew in."

"Nice to see you too, Olivia." He said in that raspy voice that Olivia loved so much.

"Please don't tell me we have another case." She said as she noticed his suitcase.

"Nope. This is personal. Can I come in?"

"Of course." She picked up Noah and moved over so he could come in.

He walked in the apartment, the apartment he was very familiar with. "I hope you don't mind me dropping by. I wanted to surprise you this weekend."

"How can I ever mind when it comes to you?" She smirked. "Why this weekend, though?" She asked as she placed Noah in his walker.

Hank put his suitcase in the corner and walked up to Olivia. "Mother's Day, Benson. Old age getting to you?"

"Shut up, Voight." She said before she kissed him lightly on the lips. "I didn't forget about it, I just didn't think you would remember." She said in her doubtful tone. Hank had told her before that he was in this one hundred percent, and that included Noah.

"Don't start, Olivia. I know how important this is to you, especially since it's your first Mother's Day. I wouldn't have missed this for anything."

"And your squad?"

"Doesn't need to worry about my personal life." He wrapped his arms around her waist and looked her in her eyes. "This is just about you, Noah, and me." He looked down at Noah in his walker, that was at their feet and slightly smiled before he looked back up at her. "I told you that from the beginning, and I don't break my promises."

She couldn't help but to smile. Their relationship was not one she had seen coming, nor did she expect it to go as well as it was considering the distance. They had tried to see each other at least once a month, without their squads getting suspicious. "Okay. So you're just staying for the weekend?"

"Unfortunately. Gotta head back out Sunday night. You off for the rest of the weekend?"

"I am now."

"Can you say pops? I'm not a big fan of dada." Hank said to Noah as they laid on the floor together.

"Mama!" Noah squealed.

"Yes, I know you can say that, but let's say pops."

Noah fixed his lips to say pops, but Olivia walked in the room. "Mama!"

Every time she heard him say that, she could have sworn her heart grew three sizes. She was finally someone's mom and that's all she wanted in her life. "Yes, that's me, cutie." She said with a smile on her face as she approached them.

"Aw, that's no fair. He was about to say pops before you walked in." Hank sat up with Noah in lap.

"It's Mother's Day weekend. You can hear pops next month." She sat on the floor next to them.

"You're lucky it's your weekend. What were you planning to do tomorrow?"

She softly smiled and laid her head on his shoulder. "Take this little one to the museum, stop by my mom's grave, and spend the rest of the day watching Elmo and Shark Week."

Hank nodded. "We can do all of that except the last part. I'm taking you out for dinner."

"Shall I call Lucy?"

"Nope. Need this little guy around to give you your gift."

"When did you get so sweet?" Olivia asked a little surprise at his behavior. The surprise trip, the dinner, and now a gift. This side of him she was seeing was a side that she was starting to fall in love with.

He looked down at her and rolled his eyes. "I don't know if I should be offended or not. I think I'm a pretty nice guy."

Olivia scoffed. "I had to threaten to arrest you the first time you came here, because you were out of control."

"And now look at us. You've used those handcuffs on me and not because I broke the law." He smirked.

Olivia sat up and turned beet red. "Henry! Not in front of Noah." Memories of the night came back to her and she couldn't help but to smile. She was already trusting him more than anyone she has trusted anyone else in her life, including Elliot.

He laughed and looked at Noah. "Close your ears, kid."

She playfully slapped his arm and rolled her eyes. "You're such an ass."

"Oh, he can hear you call me an ass, but he can't hear about¾"

"No." She said firmly, but jokingly at the same time.. "I don't want to scar him even more at such an early age." She said with a hint of seriousness in her voice.

And of course sensed the tone change. He placed his free hand on her thigh and looked at her. "Hey, you're doing a good job with him. He's going to remember that you saved him from hell and loved the hell out of him." He said from experience. He had the same doubts when he first got Erin. Granted, she was sixteen, and the damage was already done.

He was right. She wasn't going to tell him that, but he was right. "I just worry sometimes. What if it's too late?"

"Lindsay was sixteen when I finally got her out of that hellhole. Noah was an infant. Does she have her problems? We all do, but I'm very proud of the woman she has grown into. If I can raised that, you're raising a future president." He looked at Noah and tickled his sides. "Isn't that right, my little Commander?"

Noah laughed and kicked his arms and legs.

Hank always had a way with words, and knew how to make her feel better. Even with everything she went through in her life, she didn't turn out as bad as she could have. "Maybe you're right. You didn't do so bad with Lindsay, though."

"I know, to both of your statements." He said with a sly grin.

"Can you go back to being sweet Hank? I enjoy him a little more than the cocky Hank."

He cleared his throat and plastered a huge fake smile on his face. "Sweet Hank is at your service."

"I'm really glad you came." Olivia whispered out of nowhere.

"I knew you would appreciate my surprise visit. I'm glad I came too, though." He pulled her into his body. "I may be a hard ass to the world, but I don't mind cuddling with my girl."

She inhaled his scent as she buried her face into his chest. Emotionally, they acted like they were in a relationship, but when it came to the physical aspect they tended to act like high schoolers, not really knowing what to do. "I hate the distance." She admitted to him.

He sighed and wrapped his arms around her. "I do too." He wished they could be like this every night, but with both of them head of their squads, there was no chance of either of them moving right now. "Right now, we're making it work. We'll be fine."

"I've been thinking about¾"

"If you say you've been thinking about leaving New York for me, you can stop thinking about that right now. Your life and family is here. I refuse to do that to you. We'll fine a way." He said in a no nonsense tone that meant he was done with the conversation.

"Okay." She simply said and tried to get as close to him as physically possible. She didn't want to ruin the mood right now, especially since he was leaving so soon.

"I've been thinking about telling my squad about us. I don't want to hide this any longer."

She pulled away from his chest a little to look at him. "You sure about that?"

"Of course. The question is, are you ready for people to know about us?"

She was quiet for a moment before she answered. "I don't know, to be honest. Every time my squad finds about my relationships, they usually go downhill from there. Ellis found out about David and we broke up a few days later. When they found out about Brian, it was to tell him he was being charged with rape and we never really recovered from that. It's like a curse." She paused. "And I don't want to mess this up." She confessed.

"Hey," He lifted her chin up so he could look her into her eyes. "This isn't going to get messed up, got it? There isn't a curse, they're just idiots that let you go, and I'm a little upset you compared me to them. We're both to old to be playing games. Stop living in the past, Benson."

"Easier said than done."

"How about this, every time I notice you living in the past, I'll stay in Chicago an extra day."

She kneed him in the thigh and rolled her eyes. That was a low blow and he knew it. "Screw you."

He grinned. "Literally or figuratively?"

"Ha, not tonight, Voight."

"Kid, does your mom like sausage or bacon?" Hank asked Noah like he could reply. He was going with the cliché breakfast in bed thing today. His real gift had to wait until tonight. "I'll make both."

Noah just ignored him and continued to eat his cheerios and watch Elmo.

After quickly cooking both sausage and bacon, he placed the rest on the breakfast, eggs, toast, and pineapples, on the tray. He grabbed her cup of coffee with two creams and two sugars, just like she liked it, and placed it on the tray too. He walked over to grab Noah out his highchair and put him down on the floor. "You wanna try some more walking?" He grabbed his hand and walked back into the kitchen to grab the tray, and they made their way to the bedroom.

Hank was grateful he left the door slightly opened since both of his hands were full. He expected Olivia to still be asleep, or at least pretending for his sake, but she was wide awake waiting for her breakfast. "Seriously?"

She chuckled. "I like bacon, by the way."

"Mama." Noah said with a satisfying smile on his face. Hank was the one to wake him up this morning and make him breakfast, so he was glad to see his momma. He let go of Voight's hand and gingerly made his way to the edge of the bed. He put his arms up so Olivia could pick him up. "Up."

"I'm a cop. There's no such thing as me sleeping light. At least I stayed in the bed." She said as she picked Noah up and sat him next to her.

He shrugged his shoulders and walked to the bed. "I can't argue with that. Happy Mother's Day." He said with a genuine smile on his face and placed the tray on her lap.

"Thank you so much, babe. This really means the world to me." She said as she looked at the breakfast he made her. She felt so wanted and cared for. She would never get over the fact he flew out here just to make sure her first Mother's Day was unforgettable.

"Babe?" He smirked and sat on the bed. "Hmm, kinda like the sound of that, just not in public."

"Of course not, Sarge. Wouldn't want to ruin your bad boy reputation."

"Good. Hurry up and eat, we have a long day ahead of us, and we have to stay on schedule. We can't miss our reservations."

"Um, how long have you been planning this trip?" She said a little shocked at the face that he was able to get reservations at any restaurant in the city on Mother's Day.

"A couple of weeks, and don't ask how I got the reservations. I know some people, and that's all you need to know."

Olivia smiled and looked down at Noah. "Your pops has been going around the city beating people up to impress me."

Noah looked at Hank and smiled. "P..pops."

Hank's eyes lit up and Olivia could have sworn she saw him melt right there. "Yeah, I'm your pops. Good job, little man." He picked Noah up and attacked him with kisses.

Olivia looked at her two favorite boys interact and felt at home. Maybe Hank was her happy ending.

After cutting the trip to art museum short because Noah started to get fussy, and the rain prevented them from staying at the cemetery for too long, they came back home to change their clothes for dinner.

"Seriously, what do you have up your sleeve tonight?" Olivia said as she watched Hank get dressed in a suit. He was a jeans and button up shirt type of guy, so the fact that even was dressing up meant something.

"Don't you worry your pretty little mind. You're going to love it." He actually had to pull a lot of strings to make tonight happen. He probably used every favor he's saved up over the years just for tonight. It didn't matter to him, though because Olivia was worth it.

"I don't like surprises." She got up from the bed and walked over to the door as she heard Noah's cries.

"You liked me coming here." He said after her.

She shook her head and chuckled as she was walking into Noah's room. She put him down for a later nap, so he could stay up tonight during the dinner. "Hello, lovey. Are you ready for tonight?" She picked him up out the crib and moved him to the changing. "Apparently even you have to dress up tonight."

She quickly changed his diaper and changed him into the suit that Hank bought him. From the looks of it, they were matching suits. She couldn't help but to wander about what was really happening tonight. It was way too early for a proposal, and she even went through his suitcase and didn't see a gift. He had her completely on her toes, and she didn't like it.

"I can feel you thinking." Voight walked up to her as she was struggling to put on Noah's bowtie. He wasn't having it.

"The fact that I don't know what is going on is driving me crazy." She said slightly frustrated, but not at him, but at Noah ripping off the bowtie every time she got it on. "This isn't going to work." She gave in, and just let him chew on. She picked him up and turned around to look at Voight.

"You know that's a sign of being controlling." He poked at her.

She raised a brow and smirked. "Pot calling the kettle black?"

"Touché." He looked at Noah and smiled. "You clean up good, kid, just like your pops."

Olivia could never get tired of Hank referring to himself as Noah's pops. She was a little apprehensive at them getting close, but Noah needed a male figure in his life, and Uncle Nick and Fin, couldn't do it all. She just didn't want Noah to get used to Hank around, and they break up. "I have to admit, my boys do look pretty handsome."

"And I have to admit you look pretty damn sexy." He said eyeing her up and down.

Olivia had settled for a simple, black cocktail dress. She didn't want to under or over dress, and of course Hank didn't even tell her what restaurant they were going to tonight. She slightly blushed and looked down at the ground. Only he could make her blush, and she secretly loved that. "Thank you."

"Is that a blush, Ms. Benson?" He asked with a smile on his face. He loved the effect that he had on her.

"Yes, it is." She proudly admitted. "You made me blush. Don't let it go to your already too big head."

"Can't promise that."

"Look who I ran into in the parking lot." Hank said as he pushed the curtain over to reveal the back room.

At the table was both the Chicago and SVU squads. New York on the left, Chicago on the right.

Olivia walked in behind him with Noah on her hip and her jaw dropped. She immediately felt herself get emotional and looked over at Voight with a soft smile on her face. "Hank." She whispered.

The squads, knowing their bosses, knew something was up between them. They looked back and forth between each other to see who would be the one to ask, and everyone's eyes landed on Fin and Erin.

"Seriously?" They both said at the same time.

Olivia and Hank sat at the head of table, and Noah tried to get to Nick as soon as possible. "Seriously, what?" Olivia asked as she let Noah go into Nick's lap.

Fin sighed and decided he would ask. "How long has this been going on?" He waved his finger between her and Voight.

She cleared her throat, and was a little shocked at the question, but knew it would be coming. She looked at Hank for support, and he grabbed her hand under the table to signal that he was there for her. "About six months."

"Pay up, all of you guys." Jay held his hand out. "I told you, guys. I told you."

Everyone groaned as they fished for twenty dollars out of their pockets and purses.

Olivia rolled her eyes. "I should be surprised, but I'm not. I'm more surprised that my own squad didn't know."

"Actually, I knew, but you know." Amanda spoke up.

Olivia nodded to show her understanding. "I knew you were favorite."

"Well, I'm surprised at my crew." He said with a hint of seriousness in his voice.

"Oh, come on, Hank. Lighten up. We didn't have secret meetings about your relationship. We just knew something was up, and we left it at that. Plus, all your sudden trips to New York kind of gave it away."

"Noah told me." Nick joked. "He started saying pops a few weeks ago, so I knew someone was around."

"Pops? You have the kid calling you Pops?" Adam asked.

Hank smiled. "Dada just seems a little too uptight."

"I'm just glad you're happy, Sarge." Carisi said and lifted his glass. "Cheers to our grumpy bosses finally finding love."

"I'll definitely drink to that." Platt said and raised her glass.

"You guys don't know the half of it. I think even Noah should drink to this." Nick joked and raised his glass and Noah's bottle against his protests.

"I'm glad someone is around to keep the hothead a little cool." Erin joked and held up her glass.

Olivia looked at Voight. "We should just fire them."

"I agree." He said laughing.

"You guys love us too much." Amanda smirked. "Cheers."

"Tonight was a blast." Olivia said as she walked in the bedroom from putting Noah to bed. She climbed in the bed and immediately crawled to Hank's side. "I'm also glad you're staying another night."

"I'm glad you had fun." He kissed her forehead. "However, I didn't get to give you your actual Mother's Day gift."

She looked up at him with wide eyes. "There's more to the surprise? Hank, this is too much."

"Shh." He reached over to the nightstand and opened the drawer. He pulled out of black box. "I knew you would look through my suitcase, so I hid it there, because why would you look in there for your own gift." He smiled.

She rolled her eyes and grinned as she grabbed the box. She opened and gasped at the gift. It was silver locket with a picture of her, Noah, and him in it, and on the other side and said DNA doesn't make a family, love does. "Oh, babe." She whispered as tears formed in her eyes. "I love it, and I love you." She leaned up and kissed him, putting all her emotions into the kiss. She pulled away. "Thank you so much for making this the best day of my life."

"I love you too. Just remember you'll never know how it feels not to have a family."

"You're really amazing, you know that?"

He smiled. "You bring out the best in the me. You can put that on later. It's time for your finally gift." He grabbed the box and necklace and put it back on the nightstand before he flipped her onto her back. "Happy Mother's Day, Benson."
