After what seemed like forever, the plane finally landed in Paris. Noah and Rachel were surprisingly good on the flight and played with Olivia's iPad, colored or slept most of the time. They got their luggage and then went to get the rental cars before going to the hotel to get checked in. Both Olivia and Diana spoke French, so they did all the talking. They went up to their respective suites. Hank took the kids' suitcases into their room and his and Olivia's into their room, while Olivia went out onto the terrace, which they shared with the Tuckers, to admire the view. Hank joined her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"This is such an amazing view."
"It sure is."
"I can't wait to experience this city with you."
"I can't wait either."
They started kissing and then Ed and Diana came out. Ed cleared his throat.
"Hey, neighbor."
"Hey."
"Great view."
"It's amazing."
Olivia took pictures with her phone and then Kara, Noah and Rachel joined them.
"Wow! Mom, this is the best vacation we have ever gone on."
"We just got here."
"I know."
"This was your Aunt Olivia's idea."
"Great idea, Aunt Olivia."
"Thank you. See, Ed, you got to take Noah and me to Paris after all."
"Yes, I certainly did. I'm glad things turned out the way they did. We're still a part of each other's lives and Hank and I have become pretty good friends in the last year."
"Yes, you have."
Everyone sat down and enjoyed the view and talked for a while before heading down to the hotel restaurant for dinner. After dinner, they went back to their suites. The 3 kids wanted to go swimming and Hank and Olivia wanted to go see the Eiffel Tower, which wasn't too far for Olivia to walk. Ed and Diana said they would watch the kids, so they all put their swimsuits on and went to the pool, while Hank and Olivia walked over there holding hands.
"This is so amazing."
"It sure is."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Hank and Olivia kissed and then she took a selfie of them in front of the Eiffel Tower. They went back to the hotel and went up to their suite. Ed was there when they got there.
"How were they?"
"Fine. They went right to bed. How was your walk?"
"It was great. The Eiffel Tower was beautiful."
"We definitely want to see that. Did you go up?"
"No. Maybe during the day. I think the kids would like it too."
"I should go."
"Ok. Goodnight and thanks."
"No problem."
Ed left and went to his and Diana's suite. Hank locked up, while Olivia went to change for bed. Hank went into the bedroom, shut the door and locked it. Olivia was laying on the bed in a sexy nightgown.
"Damn! You are so sexy! I'll be out in a minute."
"Ok."
Hand went into the bathroom and did what he had to do before joining Olivia in bed. They started kissing, undressed each other and made love. Afterwards Hank had his arms around her and she had her head on his chest.
"So far this trip has been everything I had hoped it would be."
"I'm glad we did this."
"Me too. When Diana asked what to get Ed for his birthday, I told her that he had invited Noah and me last year but we broke up because I had feelings for you. I'm glad my first time in Paris was with you."
"Yeah, me too."
They kissed and made love again before falling asleep in each other's arms. The next morning, the kids were both awake. They went to Hank and Olivia's room and tried to open the door but it was locked, so they knocked.
"Mommy, Daddy, up."
"Ugh!"
"I know."
Hank and Olivia got out of bed, put their robes on and went into the bathroom. When they came out, they unlocked the door.
"Good morning, you two."
"Morning, Mommy. Morning, Daddy."
"Potty, Mama."
"Ok. Come on."
Olivia took Rachel to the bathroom, while Hank opened to door to the terrace and they went outside to enjoy the fresh air.
"This is unbelievable."
Olivia and Rachel joined them after she ordered coffee and something for breakfast. Kara was sitting out there as well.
"Morning, kiddo."
"Morning, Aunt Olivia and Uncle Hank. Do you think I can hang out with the 4 of you, so Mom and Dad could spend some time alone? They are on their honeymoon."
"No problem."
"Maybe they shouldn't have brought me."
"This trip was already planned before they got married."
"I know."
"Don't worry about it. You still have us."
"Have I mentioned how happy I am that you're now my uncle for real? A part of me used to wish you were my dad."
"I've always been there for you and your mom and I always will be. You know that."
"I know and I appreciate that. Mom does too."
Diana had joined them.
"Mom does what?"
"Appreciates that Uncle Hank has always been there for us and always will be."
"Yes, I do appreciate that. Family is the most important thing to him."
"It always will be."
Then Ed came outside.
"Morning."
"Morning."
"I loved waking up to different scenery this morning."
"Me too."
"Us too. I ordered coffee and something for breakfast."
"Great."
They heard a knock at the door, so Olivia went to answer it. Then she showed Room Service where to bring the food. Olivia thanked him and then he left. The kids had milk and the adults had coffee, while they ate breakfast.
"I need to ask this. What's the story with Olive and Trevor?"
"That's a little complicated. Trevor has very strong feelings for her and she does have feelings for him too but it's only been a year since Justin passed, so she's not sure how she really feels. He knows that he's old enough to be her father though. A part of me thinks he may hanging around the house with us gone and the kids with her parents."
"How does her father-in-law feel about this?"
"Trevor is a good guy and he's crazy about the kids. I don't want just anyone to be a father to my grandchildren. I'd be fine if he spent time with her while we're gone. Sometimes if she's alone, she starts thinking too much about Justin. I get it. The decision is hers to make but I wouldn't be against it. I told her to spend some time with him with us and her kids gone. I said to cook dinner for him or invite him over to go swimming. She said the age difference sometimes bothers her."
"Her one aunt is married to someone over 20 years older than her and they are very much in love. I've had talks with Trevor about this quite a bit lately. He does want to be a father more than anything but he said it's more than just about being intimate with someone. He feels they have a real connection and he can have a conversation with her and they can talk for hours. They also have lunch together almost every day unless he has meetings with Clients or has to go to Court. He told me something about himself that I had no idea about and I told him to tell her. Honestly, I think they have gotten closer as since his accident. Obviously not intimately but she told me that she doesn't feel awkward when she talks to him like she does men closer to her age."
"How old is Olive?"
"24 and he'll be 47."
"Her parents have met him, right?"
"Yes. They met at Hank's party and they seemed to like him. Nicole and I talked a few weeks ago and she said Olive talks about Trevor all the time and how sweet she thought it was that he took time off of work to take care of the kids when we were in California and Lucy was sick. She said the age difference between Olive and Trevor is the same as it is between her sister and brother-in-law."
"When is Trevor's birthday?"
"I think the end of November."
"Daniel really likes him too, so that's a start."
"Yes, he does. I know from experience that you can be close to someone and not be intimate with them."
"Your former partner?"
"Yeah. I never would have crossed the line with him though. I cared for him, yes but as partners, you usually do care for each other because you have each other's backs. I grew to care for Amaro too and I care for Fin, Rollins and Carisi as well. Fin, Amaro and Rollins all became more protective of me after what happened with Lewis. I developed more of a bond with Rollins after she became a mother. My biggest problem is that I never disclose my relationships. I was involved with David Haden, an Executive ADA for a while and one of the Defense Attorneys found out about it and called us out on it. When I was with Brian Cassidy the last time, he was accused of rape and Amaro and Munch found out about us when they came to talk to him. The last relationship I was in almost cost me my friendship with Barba and honestly I wouldn't have blamed him if had never spoken to me again. It was wrong of me not to say anything when you were being investigated."
"That's why I didn't want you involved when I was being investigated. I knew what could happen of you supported me. I'm glad you did anyway. It was good to have someone on my side for once even after all the crap I've put you through. Thanks for that."
"You're welcome. I do appreciate all your help when I was being held hostage by Joe Utley. I'm glad you're my brother-in-law now and still a big part of my life."
"I am too."
"I think I am going to take a shower."
"Me too."
"We should too."
"I can watch Noah and Rachel until you're done."
"Ok. Thank you, Sweetie."
"You're welcome."
Hank and Olivia and Ed and Diana went to take their showers, while Kara took Noah and Rachel to get them dressed. Once Ed and Diana were out of the shower, Kara went to take hers. Once everyone was ready, they went out to explore the city for most of the day. They found a tour that went around the city, so Olivia didn't have to do too much walking and they could get off at each site. They stopped to eat before they went back and then Ed and Diana went to the Eiffel Tower at night even though they had been there during the day, while Hank and Olivia took the kids back to the hotel. The kids all fell asleep right away. Olivia was exhausted and her foot was bothering her, so she went to bed and Hank stayed up until Ed and Diana got back.
"She got ready for bed and fell asleep in Noah and Rachel's room. Let her sleep."
"Ok. How's Olivia?"
"She's exhausted and her foot was really bothering her."
"I bet. Is she going to be able to handle Disney tomorrow?"
"As long as I've known her, she says she's fine whether she is or not."
"I broke her of that. I always tell her that if she's in pain or if something is bothering her, she needs to tell me."
"After the incident with Joe Utley and after Dodds died, I'd ask her how she was and she would always tell me she was fine. I figured it was the exact opposite though."
"A few times today I asked her and she said she was tired. I understand that because she has a broken foot."
"She did mention to me the other day that with Jeff joining SVU, she wants to limit her time in the field. I can understand that. She's been doing this a long time."
"She has. We have all been doing this a long time. I can't wait to be done with it all at the end of the month."
"I don't miss it that much. This is the 3rd vacation we have been on this year."
"She needed it. She works too much and I told her that when we were together. Of course, I should talk."
"I'm guilty of that too."
"Me too. Of course I never really got out of Chicago very much until I started seeing Olivia. The last time I was in New York prior to that was when Yates took Nadia."
"I never left Chicago until I interviewed for the position that I'm currently in. Kara and I rarely went anywhere."
"I never went anywhere either. Hell, the first time I had been anywhere in a long time was when I went to Chicago to help find Detective Lindsay. Thanks for this trip."
"No problem. It was all Olivia's idea. I asked her what to do for your birthday and she said you invited them last year."
"I know she's always wanted to go but it's not like I didn't either. I'd also like to go to Ireland someday too."
"Kara has always wanted to go to England, so maybe next year, the 3 of us can go there, Scotland, Wales and Ireland."
"That sounds like a plan. We should go."
"Ok. We will see you in the morning."
Ed and Diana left and then Hank went to bed. The next morning, everyone got up and got ready before meeting downstairs for breakfast. Olivia's foot was still bothering her quite a bit.
"How are you feeling this morning?"
"My foot is still killing me. I hate to do this but I don't think I should go. I don't want to spoil everyone's fun. Hank, take go ahead and take the kids."
"I'm not leaving you."
"I'll be fine on my own."
"Olivia, don't give me a hard time."
"Why don't Diana and I take the kids? That way the two of you can spend time alone."
"Ed, are you sure?"
"Of course. What kind of uncle would I be if I didn't spend time with them without their mom and dad? Besides, it's not like I've never spent time alone with Noah."
"What do you two think? Do you want to spend the day with Aunt Diana, Uncle Ed and Kara?"
"I do."
"Me too."
"Ok. Thank you."
"No problem."
After breakfast, Hank went to get Ed the kids' car seats, while Olivia said goodbye to Noah and Rachel.
"You two be good for Uncle Ed and Aunt Diana, ok?"
"Ok. Feel better."
"I will. Thanks."
Olivia kissed the kids and then Diana and Kara headed out with them. Hank kissed them as they were on their way out. Once everyone was in the car, Ed drove to Disney, while Hank and Olivia decided to go to the pool. They went up to their room to change and then they went to the pool. They had a hot tub, so they went over to that. Olivia sat on the edge of it, while Hank took her boot off. Hank got in first and then helped Olivia get in. They relaxed for a while.
"This feels nice."
"It sure does."
"Thank you for staying with me."
"You're welcome."
"I hated doing that to Diana, especially when she spent the money for all of us to go. I know Noah and Rachel were looking forward to going again even though they had just been to California a few months ago."
"They're at that age though. You weren't planning to break your foot. Diana knows that."
"That's true. I love you."
"I love you too."
Hank kissed Olivia and then they got out of the hot tub. Hank helped Olivia get out and then he helped her walk over to the pool. They stayed there for a while and then they went back up to the room. They took their swimsuits off and put their robes on. They got into bed and made love before falling asleep for a little while. After they woke up, the ordered Room Service for lunch. The afternoon went quickly but Ed, Diana and the kids had a great time at Disney. Hank and Olivia went out for dinner and were sitting on the terrace when the others got back. Both Noah and Rachel were asleep. Ed and Diana took Noah and Rachel to their room and got them ready for bed, while Rachel stayed with Hank and Olivia.
"How was it and how were they?"
"I had a great time! We need to go to Disney World or Disneyland sometime."
Ed and Diana came back.
"I had fun today."
"Me too. Noah and Rachel had fun too. Kara went with them on some of the smaller rides. She's tall for her age anyway. Ed took her on Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain and then she wanted me to go on them with her. We rode It's a Small World and Pirates of the Caribbean quite a bit."
"They both loved It's a Small World at Disneyland. Even Hank did."
"Ed did too. Surprisingly. We got the two of you T-shirts."
"Thank you."
Kara handed Hank and Olivia their T-shirts.
"We found this for Erin and Jay's baby."
"Oh, that is too adorable. Do I need to get them ready for bed?"
"No. We took care of it."
"Thank you."
"No problem."
"Your daughter said you need to go to Disney World or Disneyland."
"We do."
"I want to take Olive and the kids and Erin, Jay and their daughter someday. Maybe not next year but the following year when Baby Halstead is a little bigger."
"Keep in mind that we will have some of them in school. Noah starts Preschool this fall and then Rachel and Daniel will start next fall."
"Oh, yeah. I know."
"We're going to get to bed. It was a long day and a long drive."
"Thanks again for taking them."
"You're welcome."
Ed, Diana and Kara hugged Hank and Olivia and went to their room to go to bed. Hank and Olivia went in and went to bed as well. The next several days went by quickly. The girls did some shopping and the guys went off on their own. Ed and Diana drove out to one of the wine areas not too far from Paris and spent the night, so Kara spent time with Hank, Olivia and the kids. During their last day in Paris, they went to the Eiffel Tower again and pretty much spent most of the rest of the day at the pool.
They had a late morning flight to New York, so after breakfast, they got their stuff together and headed to the airport. They waited at the airport once they got there and then they boarded the flight.
Stay tuned for more.
