A/N: Contains parts from both of the Season 16 (SVU)/Season 2 (PD) crossovers as well as from a few episodes from Season 3 of PD. As always, I don't own any of the characters. Enjoy!

"Of course she'll like you."

"I just don't know about Dad dating."

"You want him to be happy, don't you?"

"Yeah."

"Liv is amazing."

Carisi came back and Lucy and Noah were with him.

"Hey, Lucy."

"Hey. Thanks for letting me know she was here."

"No problem. Hey, Little Man."

"Uncle Fin!"

"How's Rollins?"

"She's ok. She was feeding Jesse and trying to eat something herself. Lindsay, she said if you have time before you leave, stop over."

"I will."

Fin got a text from Olivia asking if Erin was there yet. He replied back telling her she was and so was Justin. Hank was still asleep, so she came out to the waiting room.

"Erin."

"Hey. Justin, this is Olivia Benson. Liv, this is Justin, Hank's son."

"It's nice to meet you."

"You too."

"Mama!"

"Hey, you."

"Olivia, I'm going to go if you don't need me."

"Ok."

"I got scared when I got that text from you. I didn't know what it meant."

"I knew you'd end up going to the Precinct and they'd know what it meant."

"Carisi didn't but Fin and Barba did."

"Liv, by the way, I ended up telling Voight about that, so he may be asking questions."

"Ok. I knew I was going to have to tell him eventually, especially if we got close. Then it would be a little obvious that I had some explaining to do. Thanks, Lucy."

"No problem."

Lucy left.

"I think I'm going to go too, Liv."

"Me too."

"Ok. Thanks for all your support."

No problem. Call if you need anything."

"I will."

Rafael and Dodds both kissed her cheek and gave Noah a high five before they left.

"Where's Dad?"

"I'll show you. Erin, do you want dinner?"

"Sure."

"Did you eat yet, Buddy?"

"No."

"Ok. Stay here with Uncles Fin and Sonny and I'll be right back, ok?"

"K."

Olivia showed Justin where Hank was. Erin came too. He was awake when they came into the room.

"There you are."

"Here I am. Erin and Justin are here."

"Hey."

"Hey, Dad."

"Hey, Hank."

"Erin and I are going out for dinner."

"You coming back?"

"Yes, I'll be back."

"Good."

"Justin, do you want anything?"

"Maybe a burger or something. Thanks."

"Sure."

Olivia kissed Hank as did Erin and then they went to get Noah, Fin and Carisi.

"So, what do you think?"

"She seems nice. You love her a lot, don't you?"

"Yeah, I do. I still love your mom but I think I'm ready to move on."

"Mom would want you too. Do you think you'd get married again?"

"We'll see. I would like to see where this goes but I could see Olivia being that person. I haven't felt this way about anyone but your mom."

"Whatever you decide, I'll be ok with. I guess I just need to get to know her better."

"I'll always love your mom. That won't ever change but I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life."

"I get it. What about the long distance thing?"

"We'll figure it out even if we have to travel every other weekend. She's worth that."

Hank was moved to a room, so Justin texted Erin.

"Everything ok?"

"Yeah. Hank was moved to a room and Justin let me know."

"Good. I take it things have been busy for you?"

"Yeah."

"Are things any better with your mom?"

"Not really. She just wants to drag me down with her. She thinks Hank is a bad influence on me and will only get me killed. She's more of a bad influence on me. She tried causing trouble for Hank and that ended up putting him, Justin, Olive and Daniel in danger. I hope she gets what she deserves."

"What happened with Hank?"

This guy, Beckett, that he and Olinsky had put away years ago was released because Bunny claimed she had proof that Hank lied about it. Beckett decided to retaliate against all the cops involved by putting bombs in their vehicles. Justin and Olive brought Daniel to visit and they were going to go out for dinner as a family. Hank unlocked the door and heard the clicking, so he was able to get all 4 of them out of the way. Daniel stayed in the hospital overnight for tests but everyone else was ok. This retired cop was killed and Olinsky's vehicle had a bomb in it but he decided not to unlock it."

"Hank's car blew up?"

Yep. If anything had happened to any of the 4 of them or Olinsky, I would have gone after Bunny myself. Hank has been better lately as far as his temper is concerned but I knew he was not going to take this lightly because it put his grandson is harm's way. We got Beckett and he's back in prison where he belongs."

Erin got another text from Justin asking where they were, so she answered him. He replied back saying he'd be there shortly.

"Justin is coming. That could be a good sign."

"Maybe."

"Liv, do you want us to go?"

"No. That's ok."

Their server came by and they told him that they had one more coming. Justin arrived and found where they were right away.

"Is it ok if I join you?"

"Of course."

"Did Hank put you up to this?"

"He fell asleep and I got hungry."

Justin sat down and looked at the menu. The server came to take his order.

"Exactly how long have you and Dad known each other?"

"14 months. We worked together on a couple cases in that time."

"Family?"

"Pretty much just me and my son but I also consider my Squad to be family."

"Have you ever been married?"

"No. I have wanted to but the last guy I was with didn't want the same thing I did. That relationship ended about 2 years ago. Honestly, I've never been good in relationships other than being friends. In a way, your dad reminds me of my former partner, especially with their interrogation style."

"He let his hands do the talking?"

"Yep. I admit that I have had to get physical with some suspects but not so much since I became a sergeant and then a lieutenant."

"You did with that security guard we were after in that case involving Teddy. At least that's what Jay said."

"I did."

"Did you and Dad first meet here or in Chicago?"

"Here. We had spoken on the phone before we officially met. Erin, Jay Halstead and I were after a suspect and Erin collided with a bicyclist. She ended up with a concussion and Hank came out here to send her home but Jay stuck around. Hank came into my office to introduce himself and then went into the Interrogation Room to try to intimidate the suspect onto talking. I got Hank out of there and told him he was here as a courtesy and had no jurisdiction. I told him that if he pulled that crap again, I would arrest him. I later told the suspect when Hank and I were in with him that either he told us what we wanted to know or I was going to leave him alone with Hank, while I went to get coffee. Hank found it pretty amusing that I wouldn't allow him to do what he wanted but I could threaten to have him do it. We went undercover as a married couple looking for our son. The case ended up back in Chicago and I went out there after Hank said he needed my help. I get there and he tells me the Commander was going to take the case away from him at the end of shift. I told him he could have told me that before I came out there. Honestly, I think he just wanted to see me again. Teddy identified the person that ran the operation and Hank went to 'talk' to him in the Cage. I saw him slap the guy and told him not to ruin things for my other cases. I asked him to let me do it my way. I got him to talk and the case ended positively. He invited me out for beers at Molly's. We kept in contact after that and our paths crossed again 5 months later."

"That was the case that involved Nadia, right?"

"Right."

"I think that is when I started realizing that I cared about him. It really upset me when Yates was accusing him of forcing himself on Nadia. If I didn't care about him, it wouldn't have bothered me so much. I also saw how he was with you."

"It really bothered him too. I think he realized it then too but he wouldn't admit it."

"Neither would I. After that case and after we all went out for drinks, he went to the Holding Cell and threatened Yates. He called and told me after he got back to the hotel. He said if I wanted to arrest him, he deserved it. I told him Yates deserved it. I invited him to come over if he wanted to talk but he said no. I was kind of disappointed at first but I also understood why. After that, I started thinking about him a lot. I had a lot going on with taking the Lieutenant's exam, adopting Noah and Amaro leaving. I wanted my main concern to be Noah and our life together. I somehow ended up with an unexpected ally with all the drama associated with Noah's adoption and that was Tucker, the guy from IAB. To complicate my life even more, he admitted that he had feelings for me. In my heart though, I only had feelings for Hank. I told Hank that I've been secretly hoping for a case with CPD Intelligence, so I can see him and you because I have missed you both so much."

"We've missed you too. At least I have."

"Hank said that too. I guess we will have to see how this turns out but maybe Noah and I will have to come to Chicago for a visit for a week or two. I still want to see more of Chicago. I wish I had told him how I felt a lot sooner."

"You wouldn't have to worry about any competition, unless you call a dead woman competition."

"I wouldn't."

"He said he will always love my mom and that will never change."

"I don't expect it to."

"Up until now, she was his first and only love. He did say that he's ready to move on and he doesn't want to be alone for the rest of his life."

"How do you feel about that?"

"I think my mom would have wanted him to be happy. If you make him happy, then I'm happy."

"I know he makes me happy. No one else seems to be able to do that besides my son. I'd like to meet your son some time."

"That could be arranged."

"Hank does talk a lot about him."

"Daniel is probably the greatest accomplishment in my life. I would have brought them but he has been getting new teeth and he has an ear infection."

"This guy had the measles and pneumonia. I almost lost him because some parents are irresponsible."

"Yeah, I know. Daniel is up to date with everything."

Erin got a text again.

"Everything ok?"

"That was Halstead."

"How's that going?"

"Pretty good. We try not to let our personal life interfere with work. The Boss doesn't care unless it starts to interfere."

"Dad told me about that doctor of Mom's."

"He was having a hard time with that."

"I was too after he told me. I started thinking about her a lot after that."

"He called me and we talked about that. He needed to talk to someone who wasn't involved with it in some way. He sounded pretty upset. That was when I started thinking that I had some stuff I needed to tell him but Fin did it for me. I will be more than happy to tell the two of you at some point but I need to see where this is going with Hank first."

"That sounds reasonable."

"Who's going to take care of Dad after he gets out of the hospital?"

"He can stay with Noah and me until he's able to go home. I'll take some time off while he's here."

"Good luck with that. He's a stubborn one."

"So I've noticed. I want him to spend time with Noah as well. If we're going to be together, then it's only right they get to know each other."

"I asked him how you two would make long distance work and he said he would come here every other weekend because you're worth that."

"He's worth that too but I was figuring on every other month."

"Potty."

"I got him, Liv."

"Thanks, Fin."

Fin took Noah to the bathroom, Justin got his food and then after he was done, Olivia, Erin, Justin and Noah headed back to the hospital, while Fin and Carisi headed back to the Precinct. Hank was awake when they got there. Olivia let Erin and Justin go in, while she stayed with Noah.

"Hey."

"Hey. Where's Olivia?"

"She's in the waiting room with Noah."

Hank gave Erin a look.

"Ok, fine!"

Erin went to the waiting room to get Olivia, while she stayed with Noah.

"Dad, I like Olivia."

"I'm glad to hear that."

Then Olivia came in.

"I'll leave you two alone."

"Thanks."

Justin left and then Olivia sat down. Hank took her hand and laced his fingers through hers.

"Fin told me about your ordeal. I'm so sorry."

"Thanks. I was planning to tell you when you called to tell me about Camille's doctor but I didn't think it was appropriate for me to talk about that while you were going through something so tragic. I didn't want to make it about me when you had to relive the worst part of your life. When you called to tell me you had threatened Yates and I had invited you over if you wanted to talk, I really wanted you, probably more than I have ever wanted anyone. I thought about going to your hotel many times but I kept stopping myself. I knew I'd have to tell you before we got close because you'd see my scars."

"I think I can handle it. I'm not one to judge a book by the cover anyway, so chances are, I may not have even paid attention to it."

"Well, it's a little obvious, so it would have been hard not to notice."

"I'm not used to having women tell me they want me."

"I know Camille was your one and only. At least that's what your son said."

"That's true. To be completely honest, that's why I didn't come over. Not that I didn't want to but I was afraid of what would happen if I did. It's been a long time for me. I'm actually ashamed to admit how long."

"Has it been in this century?"

"Yes and post 9/11 too. Not quite that long. It's been about 10 years. That Lewis guy, did he rape you?"

"No. Did Fin tell you he held me hostage again?"

"Yeah. You and a little girl?"

"Right. He was going to rape me but when I quit fighting, he got bored. I would have rather he did it to me and not her. I thought I was getting passed all that but after today, it's been going through my mind again. Joe raped Tess and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I could have lost you too."

For the first time since the day's events took place, Olivia broke down and cried as she buried her face in Hank's chest. He put his arm around her and kissed the top of her head.

"Look at me. None of this us your fault. Do you understand me?"

"Yes. I want you to stay with me when you're released from the hospital until you're ready to go back to Chicago."

"You going to arrest me if I say no?"

"No. I just want to take care of you. You did save my life."

"I know I did. I wanted to."

"I'm glad you did. I talked to Tucker. He needs to get statements from both of us."

"Ok. He mad about what happened?"

"He said Fin, Dodds and Carisi admitted they were in on it but he suspected that you might have been more than a friend when you were here. He did admit to me not too long ago that he had feelings for me. I never responded because I didn't feel the same way about him. I told him when he was here that I loved you and I didn't want to be any more than friends with him. He was supportive with all the drama that came with Noah's adoption and I appreciated that just like I did with what he did today. As far as I'm concerned though, you were the one who rescued us."

"I'd do it again. I wanted to be the one to go in to get you because I wanted you to know how I really felt. If you didn't feel the same way about me, fine. At least you would have known the truth."

"I do feel the same way."

"I know that now."

"I should have told you sooner."

"I should have told you sooner too."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

They started kissing and then Justin and Erin came in with Noah.

"Mama!"

"Busted!"

"Hank this is Noah. Noah, this is Hank."

"Hank."

"Nice to meet you, Noah."

Justin put Noah down and Noah hugged Hank.

"He likes you. He usually doesn't take to people so quickly but he took to both of you right away."

"My son likes you and yours likes me. That should mean something, right?"

"Oh yeah."

That night, everyone stayed at the hospital. The next day, Tucker came to get their statements and Erin went to visit Amanda and Jesse. A couple days later, Hank was released from the hospital and stayed at Olivia's apartment as Erin and Justin headed home. In the length of time Hank stayed with Olivia, they got closer and Hank and Noah got to know each other better as well. As soon as the doctor cleared Hank to go back to Chicago, Olivia and Noah took him to the airport. After a tearful goodbye, Olivia promised she and Noah would come to Chicago for Valentine's Day. Hank kissed them both and went through security. As Olivia watched him walk out of sight, she realized that for the first time in a long time, she felt she was with the person she could spend the rest of her life with. As Hank sat at the gate waiting to board his flight, he realized it was possible to move on with his life. He was ready to start a life with Olivia and Noah. He was sure he wouldn't have to convince her but the only problem would be who was would be willing to change their location in order for them to be together. Was he ready to leave Chicago for the woman he loved? As Olivia and Noah were walking back to the vehicle, the same thought crossed her mind. Was she ready to leave New York for the man she loved?
