Olivia walked into her office with a smile on her face. This time next week she would be officially off of work and on her way to Paris. She had put in for the time off a couple weeks ago and it was approved, now she had to break the news to her squad they would be flying solo for a couple weeks.

"Fin, my office please," she said standing in her doorway calling into the squad room.

Fin looked from her back to the other detectives.

"Ohhh someone is in trouble," Rollins joked with her partner.

"Yeah, if I am going down I am taking you with me," he laughed heading into the boss's office.

Olivia shut the door after Fin entered and walked back to her desk.

"Sit please."

"Oh man I really am in trouble."

"Would you like to confess now," she laughed.

"Nah I want to see the evidence first."

"Smart man," she smirked. "You are not in any trouble. I just called you in here because I wanted to discuss the next couple weeks with you."

"Umm ok," Fin said clearly confused.

"I am taking a couple of weeks off," Olivia said just coming right out with it.

"I'm sorry I think I misheard you. Did you say weeks as in more than one?"

"Yes Fin weeks…I am going to Paris."

"No shit," he said totally stunned but happy for his boss and friend. "I'll be damned…you're really getting the balance huh."

"I think after 17 years and only taking a couple days off usually coupled with long weekends I have earned a vacation."

"Well, if that is the case two weeks isn't nearly long enough Liv."

"Don't I know it but we are starting with two weeks in Paris and then we will start planning our next adventure."

"We? I am assuming the 'we' is someone other than Noah."

"It is."

"Good for you Liv….so what clueless ass kisser are they sticking us with."

"That would be you," she laughed.

"Excuse me?"

"I told OnePP you would be acting commander in my absence. They are going to loan you a detective from Brooklyn and have another on call if things get really busy."

"They are letting a senior detective being acting commander?"

"Yes….on the condition you sign up for the sergeants exam."

Fin groaned loudly showing his displeasure.

"Nothing is going to change Fin…you are still going to be out in the field just as much…I mean look at me this desk hasn't slowed me down any."

"Yeah, yeah fine."

"Don't sound so excited about it…it does come with a raise."

"It better for the headaches I will have to deal with."

"Can you call everyone in please?"

Fin gather the detectives into Olivia's office, the two new comers a little nervous about what was to come.

"Relax guys since when is coming in here a bad thing," she asked picking up on the apprehension.

"Should I make a list," Rollins joked?

"Yeah, ok I just wanted everyone to know that Fin will be acting commander."

"You're leaving," Rollins asked her jaw nearly hitting the floor.

"Don't get too excited it is just temporary," Fin made sure to quickly add. "Boss lady is finally taking a vacation."

Rollins and Carisi both smiled knowing she had only taken a short vacation around Christmas the first year Rollins joined the squad over five years ago.

"Well, if anyone has earned a vacation it is you Lieutenant."

"Thanks Rollins."

"Yeah, going anywhere fun," Carisi asked?

"Paris for two weeks."

"Wow, Paris I am officially jealous," Rollins smiled. "When do you leave?"

"I finish out the week and then it's the Fin show. We are getting a loaner detective from Brooklyn and other on call detective if needed. The Brooklyn Lieutenant is also on call if needed and Barba knows about the change in command as well. Do your jobs, bring him solid cases and I don't think there will be any problems…honestly I am not worried in the slightest."

"I wouldn't be worried either if I were in Paris," Rollins smirked.

"All right guys back to work."

"Man such a hard ass this one…don't worry guy I won't be a pain," Fin joked as they filed out of her office.

The tri of detectives headed back into the squad room and to their desks.

"So Paris for two weeks huh…that doesn't sound like a trip she would be taking alone," Amanda smirked over to Fin.

"She isn't…Noah is going with her," he shot back.

"Funny…I meant I think a certain Captain might be joining her."

"Oh you want to go ask her that question," Fin wondered?

"No, I have a better idea," Rollins said picking up the phone.

"Who you calling?"

Amanda remained silent and the phone rang.

"Hi, yes I would like to schedule a meeting with Captain Tucker."

Fin shot out of his chair and tried to hang up the phone but Amanda blocked him.

"It's just a quick follow up, nothing pressing to a current investigation. I was thinking I could stop in next week…maybe Thursday or Friday."

Fin could not believe what this girl was doing.

"Oh I see he will be on leave for two weeks. Ok, well like I said it is nothing pressing so I will just give you a call back in a couple weeks to schedule something…thanks have a good day."

Amanda slammed the phone down and did a little victory dance.

"Have fun with the extra paper work Fin…just confirmed Captain Tucker will be on leave the same time Lieutenant Benson is."

"That proves nothing other than he won't be working…doesn't mean he is going to Paris."

"Oh come on what do you want a picture of them making out."

"Before I do your paperwork…yes."

"I'm not stalking my boss this is a clear victory…but I will get you confirmation."

"Never going to happen."

"Funny things happen in Paris."

Fin just smirked at the younger detective. He knew she had won but he was going to drag it out as long as possible. He was going to have enough of a headache without her paper work too.

Friday rolled around a lot faster than Olivia thought it would. She had been preparing all week after work for their trip getting Noah's things together and making sure he had everything he could possible need. She had most of her stuff together but knew if she forgot something she could just buy it there…doing that for Noah could be a little more challenging with him wanting his stuff.

"Did you confirm the car for tomorrow," Olivia asked as she placed the bags by the door.

"Yes, I did. You have everything pack," Ed asked lounging back on the couch?

"God I hope so. I have never been on vacation with Noah before, the longest he has been away from here is probably a single night," she admitted a little nervous.

"You ready to go on the plane buddy," Ed asked Noah who was playing on the floor?

"I fly Tuck," Noah said happily both the adults having talked to him all week about going on a plane and sleeping in a hotel.

"That is right we fly in the sky and we will be in Paris and stay in a big hotel room for two weeks."

"Dat long time," Noah said seriously.

"It is buddy but we are bringing your toys and there will be so much stuff to do."

"Like what?"

"Well, there will be parks and museums…so many cool and different buildings to explore…and I bet there will even be a toy store there," Ed said knowing that would get the kid excited.

"New toy?"

"I think if you're on your best behavior we can get a new toy," Olivia conceded.

"I good mommy."

"I know you are sweet boy…but now it is bedtime."

They both knew going to Paris didn't mean anything to the little boy, but they hoped he would enjoy the vacation. Getting to sleep that night was next too impossible for Olivia, although Ed helped relax her…multiple times.

Olivia thought she was going to have a nervous breakdown getting everyone to the airport and through security. Thank god Ed was there to keep her calm and wrangle in her little boy when he got overly excited about something. Once they were in the terminal Noah immediate shot over to the floor to ceiling windows and was amazed at the planes taking off and landing.

"Tuck big plane," Noah said pointing to a plane that was parked not far away waiting to be boarded.

"Yeah buddy we will be on one of those plane soon."

"We fly," Noah said with a smile. "We fly high," he asked?

"We will fly very high in the air and be in a whole other country when we land again."

"Over da ocean?"

"Yeah, we will fly over the ocean but I am not sure you will be able to see it," he informed the small tyke.

Ed and Noah continued to watch the planes take off and land while Olivia sat back and captured some sweet moments between her two favorite guys. Almost an hour later it was their turn to board the plane and one would have thought Noah had won the lottery. He had a big smile on his face walking down the ramp and his eyes grew wide stepping onto the plane. The initial joy gave way to some uncertainty as the plane started making loud noises which could be attributed to loading luggage and fuel, but Noah didn't know that. Ed brought Noah onto his lap explaining all the noises that were happening. Once they were ready for take-off Ed made sure he was securely fastened in the middle seat and they were on their way to Paris.

Thankfully the flight had been smooth because Noah didn't sleep a wink. Olivia thanked god for the invention of the iPad to keep her child entertain on the long flight. Once they landed and collected their bags it wasn't long before they were checked into their hotel.

"Mommy my ears are fuzzy," Noah said shaking his head trying to fix the problem.

"Your ears need to pop baby."

"How they pop?"

Olivia looked at Ed knowing that when his ears did pop he would not be a happy camper.

"It's going to be slightly uncomfortable but you just hold your nose and swallow," Ed explained.

Noah did as he was told and immediately following the whimpers started which turned into tears.

"Oh I know sweet boy," she soothed. "You're ok."

Olivia knew popping his ears would make him uncomfortable, but also added into the face they had been traveling and Noah hadn't napped he was extra cranky. Luckily with the time difference it was bedtime for Noah and Olivia hoped to get him to bed as soon as they got some dinner.

"How about I order us some room service so we don't have to go back out tonight," Ed suggested as Olivia worked on calming Noah down.

"That sounds like a good idea. I think he might have a meltdown if we went anywhere."

Ed set off on the task of getting room service while Olivia showed Noah his room for their stay. Originally they were going to have a one bedroom suite and put Noah on the pull out couch, but it being the off season they were able to upgrade to a two bedroom for the same price.

"Here we go big boy this is going to be your bed," she said showing Noah the room.

"Big bed," he mumbled into her chest.

"Yeah, that certainly is a big bed," she said knowing they would need to push the bed up against the wall and buffer the other side with pillow.

"You sleep here too," he asked?

"No, Ed and I will sleep in the other room."

"What room?"

"Let's go see so you will know exactly where we are ok."

Olivia walked down the small hallway first coming on the bathroom and then their bedroom. She flipped on the light to reveal the master bedroom.

"Whoa huge bed," Noah said in amazement.

"It is a pretty big bed," she smiled thinking of all the fun she would have in it.

"I sleep here," Noah stated rather than questioned.

"No, sweet boy you sleep in your bed like a big boy."

Noah huffed but didn't put up a fight as Ed walked back into the room.

"Dinner is on the way…how does chicken fingers and French fry's sound," he asked tickling the little boys belly.

"I like French fry," he smiled.

"And chicken fingers too," Olivia reminded him that his didn't wasn't solely going to be fry's.

Dinner arrived a short time later and they all polished off their orders not really having a proper meal all day. Olivia got Noah ready for bed and after laying with him in his room for a little while he went to sleep. When she walked back into the living room area she gasped as Ed stood waiting for her with a glass of champagne.

"What is all this," she asked with a smile also seeing some strawberry's on the table?

"This is to celebrate out first night in Paris," he said kissing her.

"Hmm I will drink to that," she said clinking her glass against his. "Thank you for all of this…not just the drinks…but for this trip and for being so amazing to me and my son."

"You don't have to thank me for that…I love you and I love Noah and I love doing things for you and us. Here is to the first of many more amazing trips."

Oliva kissed Ed again before they finished their glasses of champagne. Both settled on the couch and casually talked about the next few days and things they wanted to see. Two weeks sounded like a long time but Olivia knew they wouldn't be able to see everything they wanted to…at least not to her level of satisfaction. Once they planned out the first few days they settled into some casual conversation.

"You know I got an interesting call before I left," he said popping a strawberry in his mouth

"Oh yeah from who?"

"Rollins."

"What? Why?"

"I don't know my secretary said she wanted to schedule a meeting with me…a follow up that wasn't pressing to a current case."

"Um last I checked she wasn't involved in any IAB investigations."

"She is not."

"Then what was she calling for? Last I checked people…especially my team…don't really willingly go to IAB."

"She said she was going to call back in a couple weeks after I get back…even though I won't be at IAB when I get back."

"I wonder if it is you she wanted to speak to or if it was IAB?"

"Oh I think it was me," Ed smirked.

"What makes you think that?"

"Just a little rumor going around I heard about."

"And what rumor is that?"

"Rollins and Fin have a little bet going on."

"Do I even want to know?"

"Well, it involves Fin doing Rollins paperwork for a month."

"What is going on? How do you know all this and I don't," she asked amused by all this?

"Because I have my sources everywhere none of which I will reveal," he laughed. "Rollins thinks we are together and Fin is holding out and says we aren't…she called to see if we were taking the same time off."

Olivia sat on the couch a little shocked.

"Seriously where are you getting this info?"

"My lips are sealed."

"Oh I bet I can take care of that," Oliva said leaning in to kiss him.

After a few minute of kissing Olivia pulled back and smiled.

"Come on how do you know this?"

"Maybe I am just a better detective than you," he joked.

"No chance," she said joking his sides.

"Yet somehow I have all the answers and you don't," he said kissing her again. "Come here," he said pulling her up.

"Where are we going," she asked with a giggle?

"The balcony."

Ed brought her out on the small balcony which had a clear view of Eiffel Tower all lit up.

"Wow."

"Yeah I know…selfie time," he announced holding up his phone.

He turned them around and held up his phone making sure the tower was clearly in the background. Olivia cuddled into his side before he took the picture.

"Oh I love it…send that to me."

"Ok…and send it to Rollins."

"What?"

"So she has proof we are here and she can officially win the bet," Ed said like it was common knowledge.

"Seriously?"

"Fin gets an extra month of paper work…hell yeah serves him right for doubting my ability to charm you."

"Oh yeah you were Mr. Smooth talker and I was just unable to resist you."

"Great we agree now send the picture and then join me in bed," he said kissing her before stepping back inside.

Olivia shook her head as she composed a new text message with the picture attached. She sent it off before following Ed into the bedroom.

"You can thank Captain Tucker for this one…let's not make it a habit of better on me though."

Amanda was sitting at her desk going through a suspect's bank statements looking for any link to this sex trafficking ring when her phone buzzed. She let it go for a minute wanting to get through the statement before picking up the phone. She was a little shocked to see her boss' name pop up.

"YES," she yelled jumping out of her seat!

"You find the link," Fin asked from a desk over?

Amanda grabbed 10 case files from her desk and proudly walked over to Fin's desk and dropped them in his bin.

"What are you doing," he asked?

"I win."
