The flight had finally arrived in Honolulu. They got off the plane and went to get their luggage. They got the shuttle to the hotel on Waikiki Beach and then once they arrived, they went to get checked in and went up to their suite.
"Oh, Hank, this is gorgeous!"
"I'm glad you like it."
"I love our view and I love you."
"I love you too."
Olivia took a picture of their view and then she texted it to everyone. She and Hank started kissing and headed into the bedroom. They undressed each other, got on the bed and then they made love. Afterwards Hank had his arms wrapped around her and she had her head on his chest.
"Thank you for doing this."
"You're welcome. I just wanted to make this special for both our anniversary and your birthday."
"Last year's birthday sucked and it's been a hell of a year."
"I know. That's why I wanted to do this."
Thinking about everything she had been through over the years, Olivia had tears running down her cheeks.
"Hey, don't cry."
"How much more physical and emotional pain am I going to have to go through in my life? My mom was physically and emotionally abusive. What happened at Sealview caused me to have PTSD. Elliot leaving caused me emotional pain for a long time but I am completely over that and like I told Fin, as far as I'm concerned, Elliot is dead to me. What happened with William Lewis was pure hell and sometimes he's still in my head. That situation with Joe Utley is still in my head sometimes too. I almost lost you completely because I couldn't be honest with myself. I'm surprised you forgave me and I'm surprised Ed wants anything to do with me. I ended up losing our baby and really hoped that I didn't have cancer. The anticipation of that surgery scared the shit out of me because I didn't know what the outcome was going to be. I am very grateful that everything was ok. Breaking my ankle wasn't the end of the world but I felt like I ruined Paris for everyone. Then there was the accident and I probably should be dead right now. I don't know how much more of this I can take."
Olivia buried her face in Hank's chest and broke down. Hank held her tighter and rubbed her back.
"Let it out."
After a few minutes, she finally calmed down.
"I know I said some pretty harsh things to you when you told me about you and Ed and yes, I was pissed. I know I should have told you how I felt about you sooner but that's how I am. I'm trying to be better with that. I know I can't take all the pain of everything you have been through in your life away but I am always going to be here for you no matter what. I have always taken my marriage vows seriously. As much as I wanted to be mad at you for not telling me about the baby when it happened, I just couldn't. I know what Camille and I went through when our daughter was born dead. I still haven't gotten over that and I may never. I may never get over Justin's death. Yes, losing our baby was just as hard but we never got to see what he or she looked like. The hardest thing for me was holding my lifeless daughter. I have no idea what Camille felt when our daughter died inside of her or what you felt when you lost our baby but it's just as emotional for me, since they were also a part of me. You should not have had to go through that by yourself."
Hank now had tears running down his face.
"Hank Voight, are you crying?"
"Someone once told me that it doesn't make me any less of a man if I do."
"You do listen to me!"
"Smart ass! You don't know how scared I was when I got the phone call that you and Ed were in that accident. I won't lie. I was also scared when that guy asked me to choose my own life or Diana's."
"I was too when I saw him pointing the gun at you because either way I'd lose someone I loved. I love helping people the way I do but sometimes dealing with the perps is too much to deal with."
"Don't I know it? My heart just wasn't in it anymore after I lost Justin. I want to be a father to Noah and Rachel that I never was to Justin or Erin."
"I don't think Erin blames you. That's all on Bunny."
"I know it is. I've said before that I would rather have a good relationship with the man Olive ends up with because I need to know that he can be trusted with my grandchildren and I do trust Trevor with them. With everything she has been through lately, she needs someone that will protect her and them."
"She has told me that she is starting to feel whole again when she's with Trevor. She knows that may never get over losing Justin and I know you won't ever completely get over losing Camille."
"Being with you helps and I started feeling whole again when I started having feelings for you. Olive needs to stop worrying about what I think. Trevor is good guy and all I want is for her to be happy."
"If she came to us when we got back and told us that she was pregnant, would you be ok with that?"
"Do you know something I don't?"
"No. I'm just asking."
"Yeah. I'd be fine with it."
"I think they'd make a cute baby. Do you think we would have?"
"If he or she looked like you maybe."
"I think you're handsome."
"I'm no Trevor or Jay though."
"It doesn't matter to me. I could have seen our son or daughter having your stubbornness."
"Oh, you could, huh?"
"Uh huh."
"I could have seen our daughter having your feistiness."
They started kissing and made love again before getting dressed and going to find something for lunch. After lunch they went back to their suite, changed into their swimsuits and went down to the beach. They found a spot and put their stuff down. They went into the water and swam around before relaxing in the sun for a while. They went back up to their suite and took a shower. They got dressed and went out for dinner. When they came back from dinner, they got ready for bed and sat out on the terrace for a little while.
"This is so perfect."
"I'm glad you like it. What do we want to do tomorrow?"
"We could go to Pearl Harbor or something."
"We could do that. I had actually thought about including Ed and Diana but I decided we needed some time alone."
"I'm glad you didn't but I'm not opposed to going somewhere with them again."
"He said he's thinking about taking her on a cruise for Valentine's Day and leaving Kara with his sister."
"That'll be good for them, since they really didn't have much of a honeymoon either. I had a great time on the cruise we went on."
"I did too. Sometimes it didn't feel like much of a honeymoon with people we knew there."
"It actually helped me get to know them better on a personal level."
"Trudy can be a hard-ass sometimes but she gets stuff done."
"Sounds like someone else I know and love very much."
Olivia moved over and sat on Hank's lap. Then they started kissing. They got up and Olivia took Hank's hand. She led him towards the bedroom and then they made love again after they undressed each other. Afterwards they fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning they woke up and kissed each other.
"Good morning."
"Morning. Did anyone ever respond to the pic you sent them?"
"Yeah. Everyone did. Diana's jealous. She told Ed they need to come here now."
"Maybe will have to consider coming here again with the kids and Ed, Diana and Kara. I'm just talking Noah and Rachel though. Not the whole family."
"Is this where Erin and Jay stayed on their honeymoon?"
"Yeah, it is."
"Why don't we put some clothes on and video chat with Noah and Rachel?
"That works."
They got up and put some clothes. Olivia went into the bathroom and then once she was done, Hank did. They called Lucy's phone and video chatted with the kids. Once they were done talking to the kids, they video chatted with Erin and Jay and then they went to take a shower. They went to have breakfast and then they went to Pearl Harbor. They found some shops to do some shopping and they pretty much spent the afternoon at the pool. They had seen a restaurant while they were out, so they decided to try it for dinner. After dinner they went back to their suite and made love.
The next few days they spent time at the beach, at the pool or taking tours around the Island and going to the different sights. Hank was trying to think of something special to do for Olivia's birthday. While Olivia was taking a nap, he went to talk to the Concierge and they told him they had a Spa, so she could have a Spa day. Hank liked that idea, so he set up a time for her to do that and then they also made reservations for them at one of the most romantic restaurants on the beach.
The next day was Olivia's birthday. Hank had ordered room service for them for breakfast and then he kissed her to wake her up.
"Happy birthday, Babe!"
"Thank you."
"I ordered room service for breakfast."
"Sounds like a plan."
"I also scheduled a Spa day for you."
"Aw, aren't you sweet?"
"I want today to be all about you."
"Thank you so much."
Olivia kissed Hank and then breakfast arrived. They ate breakfast and then Olivia got had gotten calls and texts from her family and friends wishing her a happy birthday. After breakfast, Olivia went to get ready. Hank was just planning on spending time at the pool while she was at the Spa. When she was ready to go, Hank kissed her and told her he would see her in several hours. Hank went down to the pool. During the next several hours, Olivia had had a facial, a manicure and pedicure, a massage, which she really enjoyed and had gotten her hair cut, colored and highlighted. She enjoyed the massage so much that she scheduled to get another one before they left but did one for Hank as well because she figured he would enjoy it too. She went up to the suite and figured Hank was still at the pool. She went to the pool and found Hank.
"Hey."
Hey, yourself. You look gorgeous."
"Thank you. I scheduled another massage before we leave and did one for you too. I highly recommend that."
"Sounds like a plan."
"Thank you for this."
"You're welcome."
"Do you like my hair?"
"I do. It's a little shorter."
"I'm glad you like it. I decided to get a few inches cut off."
"It looks nice."
"Thank you."
Hank got up and kissed Olivia. Then they went up to the suite, so Hank could take a shower. They got ready for dinner and headed to the restaurant. Once they got there, they were taken to their table and they looked at the menu. The server came and took their order. He then came back with their drinks and salads.
"You spoil me too much."
"You deserve it."
"This birthday has definitely been much better than last year's was. Thank you for that."
"You're welcome."
Hank leaned over the table and kissed Olivia. They talked and then their food arrived. After dinner, they had dessert and then after Hank paid the bill, they headed back to the hotel hand in hand. When they got back, they made love and spent the rest of the night in each other's arms. The next day, they did some more shopping and spent more time at the beach. The rest of their stay was pretty much the same. They called home almost every day and even talked to the twins via video chat on their birthday. The day before they left, they went for their massages.
When the 19th arrived, neither of them wanted to go home. They got up and got ready. They went down to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast and then they went to get their stuff. They checked out of the hotel and got on the shuttle for the airport. Once they got there, they got checked in, went through security and headed to the gate. Once they boarded the plane and it took off, they both fell asleep.
After flying for what seemed like forever, they arrived in New York in the late afternoon. They got off the plane and went to get their luggage. They knew Erin had taken Olivia's SUV home, so they weren't sure who was picking them up. They went outside and saw Ed.
"You're in charge of airport pickups, huh?"
"Yep. I have come pick up Shauna and Eddie tomorrow."
Hank put the bags in the back of Ed's SUV and then they got in, so Ed could head home.
"So, how was it?"
"It was amazing! Hank told me he thought about including you and Diana."
"That's what he said."
"We decided we want to go back with Noah and Rachel and the 3 of you. Hank treated me to a Spa day on my birthday."
"I did notice your hair looked different. It looks good."
"Thanks."
"I booked a cruise for Diana and me for Valentine's Day. I did it through a Travel Agent and picked up everything before I came to get you. I'm givin' it to her for Christmas."
"That's great. Did everyone behave themselves?"
"Yeah. Diana has been working out of your office."
"Good."
When Ed arrived at Hank and Olivia's, they all got out, got the luggage and went in.
"HELLO."
Noah and Rachel came running to the door.
"Mommy! Daddy! We missed you."
"We missed you too."
Hank and Olivia hugged them and then Daniel ran to the door.
"Gama! Papa!"
"Hey, you!"
They both hugged Daniel and then they all went into the kitchen. The kids went back into the family room.
"Welcome back."
"Thank you. How were they?"
"They were great."
Erin hugged both of them.
"You hair looks cute."
"Thanks."
"Where are Camille and the twins?"
"She's sleeping upstairs and they are sleeping on their favorite blankets in the family room.
"Hank talked to Al and he and Meredith were planning to come for Christmas."
"That's great."
"What are you, Diana and Kara doing for Christmas?"
"Christmas Day we are spending with my family. You're welcome to come too."
"We have people coming for dinner. Christmas Eve for us was always dinner and movies and then presents on Christmas Day. If you want to come over for that, fine. We also usually do a big breakfast, so you can come for that instead. Most years Diana and Kara were always included in our Christmas Eve and a few times once Shauna moved into the neighborhood, we included her and Eddie."
"I'll talk to Diana and see what she wants to do. Thank you for including Shauna."
"No problem."
"How many are you planning to have for dinner on Christmas Day?"
"Fin, Melinda, Amanda, Sonny, Jesse, Rafael, Lucia, Don, Eileen, John, Alex, Casey, Al, Meredith, Jay, Erin, us and the kids. Olive and the kids are going to Denise's with Trevor. The other two kids are coming in. Adrienne was invited too. Dan and Nicole aren't coming in until they close on their new place in January. Al and Meredith are actually planning to stay until their closing. Where we're going to put them yet, I have no idea. It makes more sense for them to stay in New York instead of having to travel back and forth as often as they have lately. Everyone had Christmas Eve plans, so they were all available Christmas Day. John doesn't even celebrate Christmas but he said he still has to eat. He's just like Fin. Those two were great partners."
"If Al and Meredith need help doing anything, I can help."
"Ok. Great. The place is move in ready. I think they're staying at the hotel for now. Did Olive get a lot moved?"
"There is still quite a bit here. She packed up all the warmer weather clothes and those got moved over there. She figured she's start moving the stuff she wasn't using right now."
"That makes sense."
"Jay said he is starting to go through stuff but he's coming in tomorrow, since he's talking with the one in charge of ESU just as a formality. Apparently I get to do the same thing before I officially transfer to SVU."
"When can you come in?"
"Whenever."
"Are you gonna be ok if Meredith stays in New York?"
"Yeah. We won't be out there much longer anyway."
"Can you come in tomorrow?"
"Sure."
"10?"
"Works for me."
"Ok. Just get it over with. As far as I'm concerned, you have the job."
"So, Shauna met your squad the morning you two left."
"Oh, that's great."
"Everyone seemed to get along. Tutuola was fine with splitting the workload as Sergeants if she decides to come here."
"I figured he would. I don't have a problem with it."
Hank took the clothes out of the suitcases and put them in the washing machine. They then gave Erin, Ed and the kids the gifts they bought for them. A little while later, the doorbell rang, so Olivia went to answer. It was Diana and Kara.
"Hey, welcome back."
"Thanks."
"Your hair looks adorable."
"Thanks. Come on in."
Diana and Kara came in.
"Hey."
"Hey. I thought Erin was picking her up."
"I called and told her I would. I left the 4 of them doing their paperwork, went to pick up my daughter and came home."
"Sounds like a plan."
"Are you still doing the dinner and movie thing for Christmas Eve?"
"Yep."
"I was gonna talk to you about that."
"I'm in."
"Ok. Then I guess we're coming over here Christmas Eve."
"If that's a problem, we don't have to."
"It's not a problem at all. We're goin' to my parents on Christmas Day anyway."
"Right. I know we didn't do it last year because we both had the flu."
"We didn't have it anyway. I was back and forth between here and Chicago. Olive and Nicole had gotten into it and they went back to Indianapolis. I went out there to help her with the newborn twins. The group from Intelligence had come out here with Daniel and then they flew back there with Olivia and the boys. If Olivia is willing to keep my traditions, then I'm more than willing to continue them."
"Honestly, I don't care what we do. I'm just glad to be able to have someone to share the Holidays with."
Justin and Nikki came crawling into the kitchen.
"Pop-Pop. Ga-Ma."
"Hey, you two. Did you miss Papa and Grandma?"
They both smiled at Hank and Olivia.
Hank picked Nikki up and gave her a kiss, while Olivia picked Justin up and gave him a kiss. Then they switched. Olivia then gave Diana and Kara their gifts. Kara went to work on her homework and then once Olive and Trevor got there and the laundry was done, they all went out for dinner after she gave them their gifts. By the time they got back, Hank and Olivia were so exhausted that they kissed the kids goodnight and went to bed so Erin and Olive got them to bed. Olivia got up to get ready for work the next morning and she gave her squad and Barba their gifts. Erin went to talk to her about officially joining SVU.
