A/N: I don't own any of the characters except my own.
The next morning, Olivia woke up and went to take a shower. She really hadn't slept all that great. The baby was kicking like crazy and she missed Hank so much. Daisy had stayed with her and the girls all night. This was the first time since she had moved to Tampa that they had been apart. She would give anything to have his arms around her calming both her and their baby down. Once she was out of the shower and dressed, she went to see if anyone else was up. Justin was.
"Morning, Sweetie."
"Morning, Mom. You sleep ok?"
"Not really. I miss your dad so much and your sister was kicking like crazy all night."
Justin put his hand on Olivia's belly.
"Cut Mom some slack, ok?"
"She's a Voight just like Emma and Vanessa are. Thanks for letting us stay here."
"You're welcome here any time."
Justin finished making breakfast and everyone else started getting up. After everyone ate and got ready, they said goodbye to Justin, Olive, Daniel and Katelyn and headed for Chicago. Olivia texted back and forth with Hank for a while. The first time they stopped, Alex went with Olivia and she drove for a while, so Lucy could relax. Olivia was very uncomfortable, so it seemed like they were stopping more often. She kept apologizing and everyone was very understanding about it. The baby was very active and every time they had stopped, Trevor rubbed her belly to try to soothe the baby, just like he had with Alex when she was pregnant with the boys and had so far with the baby she was carrying now. Lucy switched and went with Trevor's parents and then Trevor drove Olivia's SUV. By the time they finally arrived in Chicago and went to the hotel, Olivia had started to have contractions. She called Erin to let her know they were there and at the hotel. She called Hank as well.
"Hey, Beautiful."
"Hey. I'm in Chicago and I'm in labor. The trip from Kentucky from Chicago was like the trip from hell. We had to stop too often because of me and now I'm in labor. I might as well have someone take me over to Med. You may want to think about getting your ass up here if you don't want to miss your daughter's birth because I don't want to go through this alone."
Before Hank could respond, Olivia hung up on him as she heard someone knocking at the door to their suite. Lucy went to answer it. It was Erin.
"She just went into labor."
"Uh oh! Liv, does Hank know?"
I told him and said he better think about getting his ass up here if he doesn't want to miss his daughter's birth because I don't want to go through this alone."
"Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
"That might be helpful. She's going to come whether he's here or not."
Erin took Olivia down to her car and then she drove to Med. Meanwhile in Tampa, Hank had gone into Ed's office to talk to him.
"I have a problem."
"What?"
"Olivia just arrived in Chicago and is in labor."
"That is a problem. We have a full staff here, so I don't think it would be a problem as long as you are able to get a flight out."
"Had I known she was that close, I wouldn't have been so insistent that she leave."
"You had no way of knowing that she'd go into labor early. I miss Anne and Luke like crazy but the two of them and Abby are safe in New York with Don, Eileen and my family. She told Caroline to keep an eye on me and vice versa. I love her like she was my own."
"That's how Olivia is with Justin and Erin."
Then Jason came in.
"I miss Abby already."
"I know. I miss Anne and Luke like crazy. At least you still have Caroline here."
"True."
"Olivia is in labor, so I need to figure out if I can get a flight to Chicago."
"That sucks."
"Yeah, it does. This is exactly what she was afraid of. I'll never hear the end of it if I don't get there."
"See if you can get a flight. I'll take you home if you need to and take you to the airport."
"I think I'm ok with stuff. I just need to be where she is."
Hank went back to his office and checked to see if he could get a flight. They had something leaving for Chicago within the hour if he could get there. He told them to book it and he gave them his credit card info. He grabbed his stuff and went back to Ed's office.
"They have a flight leaving for Chicago O'Hare within the hour. I already paid for it. How fast can you get me there?"
"Let's go."
Hank said goodbye to everyone and then Ed drove him to the airport.
"Have a safe trip and I hope you make it in time."
"Thanks. I do too. Can you call Olivia or Erin?"
"Sure. I know I have Olivia's number but give me Erin's just in case."
"Ok."
Hank wrote Erin's number down for Ed.
"Thanks."
"Thanks for driving me."
"No problem. Send a picture of the baby."
"I will."
Hank got his stuff and went to check in. He went through security and went to the gate. Hank barely made it to the gate before they started boarding. Ed headed back to the Precinct. When he got there, he tried Olivia. It went right to her voicemail. He hung up and dialed Erin's number.
"Lindsay."
"Detective, this is Ed Tucker."
"Captain Tucker, what can I do for you?"
"I just got back from dropping Hank off at the airport. He said the flight to O'Hare was within the hour."
"Great. Olivia will be happy."
"How is she?"
"She's doing ok. I think she'll be better once Hank is here with her. How are things there?"
"So far, not too bad. We'll see what happens in the next few days when the storm hits. Hank wanted me to let you or Olivia know that he was on his way."
"We appreciate that. Thank you."
"No problem."
Ed and Erin both hung up.
"Erin, what did Tucker want?"
"Dad is on his way here. He was able to get a flight and he just dropped him off at the airport. The flight was in the hour."
"He is?"
"Yeah."
"Aw! I hope I can wait until he gets here before I give birth."
Erin checked online to see when there was a flight from Tampa coming in and then she called Jay.
"Hey, Babe."
"Hey. Can you head to O'Hare around 10? Dad is flying in to be with Olivia."
"Yeah, sure. Did he call you?"
"Captain Tucker did. I'm assuming that's the flight he's on. She's hoping she call wait until he gets here before she gives birth."
"No problem. I'll get him there."
"Thanks."
"Yep."
"Love you."
"I love you too."
Erin hung up the phone and then helped Olivia through another contraction as Sharon and Maggie came in.
"Olivia, what brings you here?"
"Hank wanted us to evacuate because of the hurricane coming. We stopped in Kentucky on the way to see Justin and his family. Hank wanted us up here just in case because I already had a doctor up here."
"That makes sense. So they needed a full staff of first responders?"
"Yep and a full medical staff at the hospitals. Hank's Boss' stepdaughter is a nurse and she had to stay. His wife took her grandson and her daughter's boyfriend's daughter to New York. Her boyfriend is in Hank's unit."
"Do you like it down there?"
"I do. We have a beautiful house with a pool and we're not too far from the beach."
"So far the only problem is the hurricanes?"
"I've been through hurricanes before. New York was hit by Superstorm Sandy. I've been through worse though."
"How much worse can it get than a major hurricane?"
"Try September 11th."
"Oh, that's right. Shame on me. We were glued to the TVs that day. Chicago had 100-some firefighters go out there and several police officers. Hank and Alvin Olinsky went out there."
"Yeah, Hank mentioned that."
Olivia had another contraction.
"Olivia, that was a pretty strong one."
"I know. I was really hoping the baby would wait until Hank got here, which I guess his flight doesn't get here until 10."
"If it happens before he's here, you have me."
The doctor came in and checked her out and she was 4cm dilated already.
"It could still be a while at 4cm. Is this it after this one?"
"Yeah. I can't go through this anymore. I'm as in love with her as I was with the twins when I was carrying them though."
Then Alex and Trevor came in.
"How are you doing?"
"About as good as can be expected. Hank is on his way and should be in Chicago by 10. Alex and Trevor, this is Sharon Goodwin, the Hospital Administrator and Maggie Lockwood, the Head Nurse in Emergency. Sharon and Maggie, this is Trevor and Alexandra Langan. I've known them both for years. Trevor is the lawyer that helped me with Noah's adoption."
"It's nice to meet you."
"You too."
"I need to get back to the ED, so I will come check on you later, ok?"
"Thanks, Maggie."
Maggie left as Gabby and Sylvie came in.
"Hey, Olivia."
"Hey, you two."
"We heard you were here."
"Yeah. Hank sent us up here to get us out of harm's way. They needed as many police officers as they could get. He's now on his way up here, since I called him and told him I was in labor and he needed to get his ass up here if he wanted to be here for his daughter's birth."
"Do you have a name picked out?"
"Yeah. We liked Hailey Olivia."
"That's a cute name."
Erin's phone rang. It wasn't a number she recognized but she answered it anyway.
"Lindsay."
"It's me. I'm calling from the phone on the plane. Is everything ok?"
"So far, yeah. The last they checked, she was at 4cm."
"Let me talk to her."
"Ok. Hold on."
"Ok. Thanks."
"Liv, it's for you."
"Who is it?"
"Your hubby."
"Thank you. Hi Honey."
"Hey. You doin' ok?"
"Yeah. I hope you'll get here soon. I don't want you to miss this."
"I know. I don't either."
"Hold on. I'm having another contraction."
"Ok."
Olivia got through her contraction.
"Sorry."
"Don't apologize."
"I just want you here with your arms around me."
"I'll be there as soon as this plane lands at O'Hare and I get to you."
"Erin is getting Jay to pick you up."
"Ok. Then at least I know who to look for. I better go."
"Ok."
"Hang in there, ok?"
"Yeah."
"Are you crying?"
"Yes. I love you so much."
"I love you too."
Olivia hung up the phone.
"Do you feel better now that you talked to him?"
"No because he's still not here. I won't be happy until he's here."
"If I remember correctly, he almost missed the twins' birth."
"Yeah, he almost missed that too. He and Al were interrogating a suspect and he thought he needed to be at the District instead of here with me. You were nowhere to be seen either."
"I forget where we were."
"At least I had Justin. Olive was watching Noah. I remember that. She also had 1-year old Daniel."
"I can't believe he's 3 already."
"I know and he loves being a big brother. Noah loves being a big brother too. I'm not so sure about the girls being big sisters. They love all the attention they get from me when Noah isn't around, so I'm figuring they won't be too receptive to Hailey right away."
"We're expecting the same things with our boys too. Trevor almost missed the boys being born."
"Let's not get into that."
"Why? You were stuck in court."
"That was a bad case. The Judge kept asking me if I had somewhere more important that I needed to be other than in her Courtroom because I kept checking my phone. I said my wife was in labor with twins and really needed to be there. She was not too pleased with me. Alex was already in the Delivery Room by the time I got to the hospital. I am not going to miss it this time."
"Good."
"Truck 81, Squad 3, Engine 51, Ambulance 61 and Battalion 25, multivehicle accident with injuries at Lakeshore Drive and Congress Parkway."
"This is Ambulance 61. We're at Med right now but we're on our way."
"We will see you later."
"Ok. Thanks for stopping by."
"You're welcome."
Gabby and Sylvie left and went to the scene. Erin got a phone call from Antonio and said they had a call. She said Olivia was in labor and Jay was supposed to be going to get Hank at the airport by 10. Antonio said he needed Halstead. Then Erin hung up the phone.
"Do you have to go?"
"He said I can stay but he needs Jay. You two are going to have to stay here with Liv, so I can go to the airport."
"We can stay."
The doctor came in again and checked Olivia. She was now at 6cm. A few hours later, Olivia was even closer to being fully dilated and Erin had just left for the airport. Trevor and Alex stayed by her. Erin told them to let her know when Olivia was fully dilated. Erin had her work vehicle, so she could used the lights if she had to. When she got to the airport, the flight was in and Hank was outside. Erin pulled up and Hank got in after he put his stuff in the backseat.
"What happened to Halstead?"
"We got a call but I got out of it because I said I had to stay with Liv."
"Who's with her now?"
"Alex and Trevor are there with her."
"Ok. Good."
Erin's phone rang. She saw it was Trevor.
"Answer that. It's Trevor."
"Ok. Hey, Trevor."
"Erin said to let her know when Olivia is fully dilated. She's just about."
"Ok. Thanks for calling."
Hank hung up.
"She's almost fully dilated."
As soon as Erin got out of the airport, she put her lights and sirens on and drove to Med. As soon as she arrived, she dropped Hank off and went to park the car. Hank went up to Olivia's room and she was still there.
"You just made it."
"I'm glad I did."
Hank kissed Olivia and then they took them to the Delivery Room, while Alex and Trevor went to the waiting room.
"Ok, Olivia, whenever you're ready."
Hank took Olivia's hand and she started pushing.
"Good. We're getting there. Give me another big push."
Olivia pushed again.
"You're doing great, Babe."
"Olivia, I see the head. I need a couple more big pushes."
Olivia pushed again as hard as she could.
"Almost there."
Olivia pushed again and then the doctor pulled the baby out. She started crying right away.
"Hank, do you want to cut the cord?"
"Sure."
Hank cut the umbilical cord and then they wrapped the baby before placing her in Olivia's arms. Hank kissed her.
"We did it."
"We sure did."
