A/N: Thank you for favorites, follows and reviews. I don't own any of the characters except my own.

"Yes, it has."

"Come on in."

"Thanks."

Alex and Casey came in and everyone went to sit down in the living room.

"We met your husband. We're the new Assistant State's Attorneys and we will both be working with Intelligence and SVU."

"That's great. Hank never said he met you two."

"We asked him not to say anything. We went to introduce ourselves to Intelligence yesterday and we're going to meet SVU on Monday. When we introduced ourselves, he said the names sounded familiar and asked if we knew you. We said we did. When did you get hitched?"

"May 13th and this is Alexandra Margaret. No, she's not named after you. Hank's mother was Alexandra and they called her Lexie. This is our little Lexie."

"She's beautiful, Liv. She looks just like you."

"Thanks. I hear that a lot."

"How old is she?"

"4 weeks. She was born on Halloween."

Noah came downstairs.

"Here, Mommy."

"I'll take that to Daddy. Noah, these are friends of mine, Casey and Alex. This is my adopted son, Noah."

"Hi, Noah. It's nice to meet you."

"You too."

"How old are you?"

Noah held up 3 fingers.

"Yeah, just about."

The doorbell rang again, so Olivia handed Lexie to Alex and went to answer it. It was Trevor, Lisa, Emily, Tyler, Adam, Ed and Maggie."

"Wait until you see who's here."

"Who are you talking to?"

"You."

Everyone walked in and went into the living room.

"Langan."

"Hello, ladies."

"Uh, Liv, Tucker? Really?"

"Nice to see you too, ladies."

"Alex Cabot and Casey Novak, this is my wife, Lisa and 3 of our 5 children, Adam, Tyler and Emily. We also have 4-week old twin daughters, Rebecca and Charlotte. Lisa, this is Alexandra Cabot and Casey Novak, two of the ADA's I fought with regularly for years."

"It it's nice to meet you, Lisa."

"You too."

"Wow! 5 kids?"

"We're adopting the boys. Lisa's best friend and her husband were killed and they wanted Lisa to take their sons. This is Lisa's aunt, Maggie, who's married to Tucker."

"So, you two are in-laws?"

"Yep."

"Alex, do you remember when SVU became the Command Center for finding missing friends and family members after 9/11?"

"Yes."

"Maggie's son was one of the victims. He was a firefighter."

"Sorry to hear that."

"Thanks."

"Liv, you're a Lieutenant now?"

"Yep."

"What rank are you now?"

"I'm a Captain but I'm no longer with IAB. I transferred to Hostage Negotiation."

"That's great. Liv, how'd you end up with your son?"

Olivia told the story to Alex and Casey from when they found Noah and arrested Ellie through to when Johnny D was killed at the Courthouse.

"Wow! Barba actually told you not to say anything?"

"Yep. I covered my butt though, especially with IAB because I didn't want to get in trouble."

Emily and Noah were sitting together in the same chair.

"They're cute together."

"She kissed him earlier and he actually liked it."

"How long are you two in town?"

"We live here now. We both just started as Assistant State's Attorneys and we were assigned to both Intelligence and SVU. Liv, how much longer are you off?"

"Until after the first of the year. Lisa is my second in command and she's off that long as well."

"Where's Hank?"

"He's in the hospital. He had an incident with someone and got whacked on the head. He has a slight concussion."

"We hope he's ok."

"Yeah, he's fine."

"Liv, I just can't get over the fact that you're married and have kids. You look happy."

"I am. I'm a grandma too."

"What!"

"Yep."

Daniel came out from the basement door with Justin not too far behind.

"I thought you went to bed."

"Night-night, Gama."

"Goodnight, sweet boy."

Daniel gave Olivia a kiss.

"Where Papa?"

"At the hospital."

"Papa owie?"

"Yep. He got one on his head. Can you say goodnight to everyone?"

"Night-night."

"Goodnight, Daniel."

"Olive and I are going to bed too. If you get to the hospital, gave Dad a hug from me."

"Ok. I will."

Justin gave Olivia a hug.

"Love you, Mom."

"I love you too."

"Goodnight, everyone."

"Goodnight."

Justin took Daniel back downstairs.

"He's a handsome one and the little guy is adorable. Of course, Hank is handsome too."

"Thank you and yes, they all are handsome."

"He calls you Mom. That's a good thing, right?"

"Oh yeah. We hit it off from the moment we met. The boys get along great as brothers."

"Hank seems like a nice guy."

"He can also be a bit of a hothead. When we first met just over 2 years ago, he reminded me a lot of Elliot. I had to threaten to arrest him when we first met but he earned my trust a lot faster than others have. We worked together on a few cases over the last 2 years. We got together in January. I basically had 3 men interested in me at the same time in the last year and a half."

"Langan was probably one of them. That was always obvious."

"That would be correct."

"Who was the other one?"

"He's also in this room."

"Ew!"

"That one wouldn't have happened. My first choice was Hank and my second one was Trevor. Moving to Chicago has been the best decision I could have made."

"How long did you two actually date before he proposed?"

"A month and it was long distance. We were engaged for 3 months. We were planning to get married next May but the venue messed up. We basically planned everything in a week. I'm lucky I got people here from New York."

"Is this one the reason you got married sooner?"

"No. I told Hank that if she didn't change things between us, I was ok with waiting. I'm glad we didn't wait though."

"Do you have pictures?"

"Yeah."

Olivia got up and went to get the album from the wedding.

"Alex, I want to hold her."

"Ok."

Alex got up and handed Lexie to Casey.

"This is the one with all the proofs."

"You looked beautiful."

"Thanks."

"Hank didn't wear his uniform?"

"He decided to go with tuxes. Justin and Melinda were the only non-cops in the wedding."

"Fin cleans up nicely."

"Yes, he does. Actually, so does Hank. His entire Squad does too. Hank loves wearing jeans and his leather jacket. He would have been fine wearing that for the wedding."

"This guy is gorgeous. I remember seeing him yesterday but he was on his way in as we were leaving."

"That's Antonio Dawson. That's his sister, Gabriela and her boyfriend, Matt. They're firefighters. This is the group from the Fire Station."

"Oh, my! Are all the men in Chicago this sexy?"

"Pretty much. At least the cops, firefighters and the doctors at Chicago Med are."

"I think I'm going to love Chicago."

"No one special in your life?"

"Not yet."

"How about you, Alex?"

"No. Honestly, I didn't think you'd ever settle down."

"Neither did I, actually. For the longest time, I had such a bad track record with men. I dated David Haden, the Executive ADA for a while. Bayard Ellis found out about it and it didn't last much longer after that. I was with Brian Cassidy for a while and we were living together. He joined the Rat Squad briefly and did undercover stuff."

"Is the IAB thing the reason you broke up?"

"No. We wanted different things. I wanted a family and he didn't."

Olivia ended up telling Casey and Alex about her ordeal with William Lewis.

"Oh, wow! I don't know if I could have been the Prosecutor on that one."

"Me neither."

"Rafael had a hard time with that one. I had to go through being interrogated by the Rat Squad. This was right around the time I became a Sergeant and a little over a year ago, I became a Lieutenant. That request came from Tucker because apparently, they didn't want a Sergeant running SVU. After I left New York, my Sergeant was running it and they didn't make him take the Lieutenant's exam. I think someone was looking for some off duty action."

"It kind of sounds that way. He does seem better though."

"He's not a bad friend to have. I just don't think there could have been anything romantic there."

"Even though I wish there had been, I'm glad things turned out the way they did. Hank obviously makes you happy."

"Yes, he does. I honestly don't think I could have gotten into a relationship with someone else knowing I had such strong feelings for Hank. I know you were just doing your job but I can't forgive you for making my life and the lives of my co-workers a living hell for all those years. At least right now."

"Yes, I was just doing my job. Maybe someday you will be able to forgive me. We're friends and you trust me, so I guess that's a start. I don't blame you for feeling the way you do. I just wish there was more I could have done to help out with that situation earlier though. It makes me feel like I wasn't doing my job even though I was only assisting them."

"I'm the one that suggested they take the Hostage Negotiator with them because you might be useful for something. Obviously, she wasn't going to give in until she killed him."

"Usually, they want money or freedom."

"I know. Not Bunny. She wanted revenge."

"When she asked him who he loved more, I'm not sure I would have known who to choose either. Especially when they're all family or like family. That's something my ex would have done."

"That's how loyal Hank is to his family. He would never choose one over the other with me and the kids because he loves all of us. Our bond has gotten stronger these last 4 weeks since Lexie was born. I wouldn't have been able to choose either. Sure Hank is the love of my life but Justin is also my son. Erin and I have shared a special bond since we first met. We're a lot alike. She has told me that I'm the cop she wants to be like."

The door opened and Erin came in.

"Can I stay here?"

"Of course you can."

"I just need to be with my family right now. Where's Justin?"

"He said they were going to bed early."

"I guess that'll do it. I feel like today is my fault."

"I don't blame you and neither does he."

"Jay asked me if I had to choose between him and Hank in a situation like today, who would I choose? I told him he knows I can't answer that because I love both of them. I guess this means you're my mom now. Actually, I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Neither would I. I just can't help but wonder if I hadn't said what I said about her not hurting my family, would she have killed herself?"

"I don't know but at least it wasn't Hank."

"True."

"I see you've met the new Assistant State's Attorneys."

"I met them years ago. They both used to be ADA's for SVU cases."

"How cool is that? At least you don't have to get used to them."

"That's true. Case, do you want me to see if I can play matchmaker for you and Antonio?"

"That would be great."

"He asked who you were when he came in as you were leaving. He said he thought the red head was cute."

"He's divorced and has kids."

"That's ok."

"Who would be good for Alex?"

"I'm thinking Kyle."

"Lisa, that's exactly who I was thinking."

"Who's Kyle?"

"My third in charge. Maybe we'll have to have dinner one night soon, so you can meet Antonio and Alex can meet Kyle. Lisa and Trevor, you two should join us."

"I'm there whether Trevor is or not."

"When? This week?"

"Let me see how Hank feels. Lisa, I see someone is not a fan of her new Great Uncle."

"Not yet. She got mad at me because I told her it wasn't very nice to say what she said earlier. I told her she can call him Uncle Ed."

"Maybe he needs to spend more time with her."

"I would love to spend more time with her."

Emily crawled up on Trevor's lap, put her arms around him and kissed his cheek.

"I love you, Daddy."

"I love you too, Princess."

"How long have you two been married?"

"A few days less than Olivia and Hank. Trevor adopted her."

"She's how old?"

"She's about 3."

"Are you still trying to get back to the hospital tonight?"

"I'd like to but I have to get them to bed yet."

"I'd like to go back myself."

"Maybe we'll go too."

"Maggie and I can put them to bed."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course."

"Maggie?"

"Sure."

"They both need baths."

"I better do that. I have more experience with children than he does."

"What are you talking about? I've been giving Josh and Jordan their baths and you know it as well as I do."

"Yeah and that one night you ended up in the tub with them, fully clothed I might add."

"What's your point?"

"Really?"

Maggie smacked Ed.

"Ow!"

"Serves you right, you big baby!"

Noah, who would you like to give you your bath, Ed or Maggie?"

"Ed."

"Ha!"

Maggie smacked Ed again.

"Stop!"

"Which one is easier to get to bed?"

"Lexie is usually but Daddy normally puts her to bed. The other night, he was working on a case when I was getting them ready for bed. She had a full belly and a clean diaper but wouldn't settle. I had to call Hank and put the phone up to her ear, so she could hear his voice. That calmed her down. If you have problems with her, call me and I will give Hank the phone."

"Ok."

"Mommy, can Adam and Tyler sleep over?"

"Ask Trevor and Lisa."

"Can they?"

"Sure."

"Me too?"

"With the boys?"

"Uh huh!"

"It's ok with us if it's ok with Olivia."

"It's fine with me."

"Yay! Daddy, get our stuff."

"What do you say?"

"I love you, Daddy."

"That not what I was looking for."

"Thank you."

Emily and the boys headed upstairs after Noah kissed Olivia. Trevor shook his head.

"Well, at least she said thank you."

"Yeah."

Olivia heard the water running in the bathtub and Noah's door shut.

"He did it again. He starts the water in the tub and disappears. The last time he almost flooded the bathroom. You're supposed to find him. He makes a game out of this."

"I'm on it. Check to make sure the bathroom isn't flooded and look for the 4 of them."

"You have to be quick because he moves around and this time, there's more of them."

"Sounds like bath time at our house. I'll go get their pajamas, teddy bears and toothbrushes."

Trevor left and went over to their house.

"Thanks, Ed and good luck."

"You're welcome. He gets a story before bed, I take it?"

"Yes."

"Got it."

Ed went upstairs to shut the water off in the bathroom and went to capture the kids before putting them in the tub. Casey handed Lexie to Maggie and Olivia kissed Lexie on the head.

"All the stuff for her bath is in the kitchen."

"Ok."

Trevor came back as Olivia, Erin, Alex and Casey were leaving for the hospital. He took everything up to the bathroom and then he and Lisa went home. Maggie took Lexie into the kitchen to give her a bath. Erin arrived at Chicago Med and parked her car. They went in and up to Hank's room. Jay, Antonio and Kyle were all there.

"There she is."

"Here I am."

Olivia went over to Hank and kissed him and gave him a hug.

"The hug is from Justin and the picture is from Noah."

"Thank you. Nothing from my baby girl?"

"No, sorry."

"That's ok. I miss her. Did you leave Justin and Olive in charge?"

"No. They both went to bed early. Ed and Maggie are in charge of our 2 plus Trevor and Lisa's 3. Noah wanted Adam and Tyler to stay over and Emily invited herself. Emily kissed Noah today and he actually enjoyed it."

"Just on the cheek?"

"Nope. He had a smirk on his face too."

"Emily is definitely a character. She has always been a little flirt."

"So is Noah. He started the water in the tub again and went to hide in his room. One of these times though he will flood the bathroom. I told Maggie if she has any problems putting Lexie to bed to me call and I will give you the phone. She likes to hear the sound of her daddy's voice before she goes to sleep."

"So does Mommy."

"Guilty. Casey and Alex, this is Antonio Dawson and Kyle Schmidt. Antonio and Kyle, this is Casey Novak and Alexandra Cabot, the new Assistant State's Attorneys, who will be dealing with both Intelligence and SVU. They are former Manhattan ADA's, who worked with me on cases."

"Nice to meet you."

"You too."

Everyone kept talking and got to know Casey and Alex better. Back at Hank and Olivia's, the baths were over, Ed had was putting Emily and the boys to bed and reading them a story when Maggie had come up to get Lexie ready for bed and give her a bottle.

"Ok, you 4, time to go to sleep."

"We want another story."

"I already ready you one."

"Please, Uncle Ed."

"You sound like your Aunt Maggie. You know that, right? How about instead of reading you another story, I show you the pictures from our trip?"

"Ok."

Ed pulled out his phone and started going through the pictures. There was one of him taking a nap that he had no idea Maggie had taken.

"You don't need to see that one."

"Let's see."

He showed it to them anyway and they all started giggling. Maggie came in with Lexie.

"What are you doing to them?"

"Showing them the pictures from our trip. Where'd the one of me napping come from?"

"I couldn't resist. You looked so cute. Your phone was closer, so I used yours and sent it to mine. I guess I never deleted it."

"I guess that's ok then. I took one of you sleeping too."

"I know."

Maggie went over and kissed Ed.

"Ew!"

"Yuck!"

Maggie couldn't help but laugh.

"This one is a lot like you."

"That she is. Her mama is a lot like me too."

Ed finished going through the pictures with them.

"Ok. Time for bed."

"Potty first."

Noah got out of bed and went to the bathroom and everyone else did the same. None of them had come back into Noah's room, so Ed went looking for them. They were in Hank and Olivia's bed all snuggled together.

"Maggie, look at this."

"That is too adorable."

Ed took a picture, while Maggie finished giving Lexie her bottle. She went right to sleep as well. Maggie set her down in the bassinette, took the baby monitor and shut the door on their way out. They sat down on the sofa and Ed sent the picture to Olivia and Lisa. Maggie put her head on his shoulder and fell asleep. Ed put his arm around Maggie, kissed her head, put his head back and fell asleep as well. It had been a long day for both of them. Back at the hospital, Olivia had gotten the text from Ed and could not stop laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"This."

Olivia showed the picture to Hank.

"Oh, that is pretty funny but cute."

Olivia showed the picture to everyone else.

"That is adorable."

"Erin, are you picking me up tomorrow?"

"I could. You are for sure being released tomorrow?"

"They seem to think so. At least that's what Will seemed to think when he stopped up to see me a little while ago."

"I hope you are being released tomorrow because I don't like this arrangement one bit."

"Me neither. You could stay."

"I need to be there when she wakes up."

"Liv, why don't you stay? I'll be there. She obviously went to sleep for Maggie and she's ok with me."

"You don't need to be alone either."

"Jay could come back with me. Just for comfort though."

"You promise?"

"I promise."

"Me too."

"Ok as long as Olivia agrees to stay."

"How could I resist you?

"You can't."

"I know I can't."

"Casey, would you like to get a drink?"

"I'd love one."

"How about you, Alex?"

"Sure. My car is at Liv's though."

"I'll take you to get it later."

"Ok."

Alex, Casey and Erin hugged Olivia and then Erin hugged Hank before they all left. Antonio, Casey, Kyle and Alex headed to Molly's, while Erin and Jay headed to Hank and Olivia's.

"Were you trying to set Alex and Casey up with Kyle and Antonio?"

"Maybe. Ok, yes."

"I think Antonio was interested when he saw her leaving as he was coming in yesterday."

"Lisa kind of suggested setting Alex up with Kyle. I've missed having them both around, so I'm glad they're back in my life."

"Good. I can't wait to get to know them better."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Olivia kissed Hank and fell asleep in the chair with her feet up on his bed. Hank fell asleep after a while as well. Ed and Maggie ended up sleeping on Hank and Olivia's sofa all night. The next day, Hank was released from the hospital and everyone who was heading back to New York headed back to New York.

Reviews are appreciated. I'll write more eventually but I'm not sure when. In the meantime, if you haven't already, please read my other Benoight story, 'I'm Here For You'.
