A/N: There is a little something for the Linstead fans in this one. As usual, I don't own any of the characters except my own.

Hank took Olivia, Munch and Lisa back to the house and the 4 of them went inside. The babies were awake and they were having their bottles. Maggie was giving Lexie her bottle with Noah's help and Ed, Adam and Tyler were giving Becca and Charlotte their bottles, while Emily and Daniel were coloring pictures.

"This one has such a good appetite."

"Yes, she does."

"So do these two."

"Ed, can I talk to you about something?"

"Sure."

"I need to head back. Can you meet me at the District?"

"Absolutely."

"I've been told you can tell me anything about any cop that has worked or currently works for the NYPD because you've probably investigated most of them."

"Yep."

Maggie handed Lexie to Olivia and then took Becca from Ed, while Lisa took Charlotte. Ed got his coat and then he and Hank left for the District after they kissed their wives and Hank kissed Lexie, Noah and Daniel.

"Olivia, your tree is beautiful."

"Thank you. The boys made a lot of the ornaments. Alyssa is so good with them. I wish I knew what was up with her and Mouse."

"How long have they been together?"

"They started seeing each other after dancing together at our wedding. I'd be really happy if he was proposing."

Then Justin, Erin and Jay came in.

"Hey, Mom."

"Hey."

"What's up with Dad bringing Captain Tucker back with him?"

"He got an email from someone who used to work for the NYPD looking for work. I know the guy but he wanted the dirt on him."

"Why couldn't he have asked you?"

"A part of me doesn't want Hank to call him for an interview. I'm not sure I want my husband and ex boyfriend working together. Antonio said if he did get hired, he and Olinsky would keep an eye on him and the rest of you probably would too."

"I would."

"If he's hot, I'll keep an eye on him."

"Thanks, Erin. I love you too."

"Shut up! Is this the guy that left you after your ordeal with Lewis?"

"Yep. Tell me, what's the latest gossip in Intelligence?"

"You mean with Mouse?"

"Yes."

"He won't tell me."

"What's the fun in that?"

"I have a feeling that he's getting ready to propose and they are picking out the ring together. Her parents really like him and I know he went over there to talk to them without her knowing about it."

"In the meantime, I'm still waiting."

"For what?"

"You know for what, Halstead. Hank and Olivia got engaged after a month and got married 3 months later. Mouse and Alyssa have been together for 7 months and he's more than likely proposing."

"If I do, I have to ask Voight for permission. He probably won't let us be partners anymore if we're married."

"Yeah, I know. I'll transfer out of Intelligence if and when it does happen."

"Wait, what? You're going to leave me with Voight?"

"Yep."

"Where would you go?"

"Where do you think?"

"Does Voight know about this?"

"Yeah, he knows. They both do because the 3 of us sat down and talked about it."

"Nice of you to talk to me about it."

"Come on, Jay. You can't tell me you didn't see this coming."

"I did but I guess it makes it so final."

"It's not like I'm transferring to New York. We'll still work together on occasion. Liv hasn't worked in a while but Hank always manages to find time to see her throughout the day."

"True."

Erin went into the bathroom.

"She's driving me nuts about proposing."

"You don't want to?"

"I do but I don't want her to keep nagging me about it. I want to do it when she least expects it. I do plan on talking to Voight. I just don't want her to think it has anything to do with her losing her mother. She keeps bringing up the fact that the two of you have been together for 11 months and are married and have a baby. I want to make it memorable for her. I really want to be married to her and have a family with her."

"Does Hank know how you feel?"

"I think he suspects something. I do have a ring too."

"Can I see it?"

"Not right now."

"Ok."

Erin came back into the living room and took Lexie from Olivia.

"Hey, there pretty girl."

"Munch, did you want to hold her?"

"Ok."

Erin handed Lexie to Munch.

"Well, hello there. You're pretty like your mom. I've known your mom a long time."

"You sure have."

"Who does she take after when she gets mad?"

"Most definitely her daddy."

"Oh, yeah."

"Fin said she's loud like me."

"He's actually right."

"I know. The other day, I was in the shower and I heard her screaming with the water on. Alyssa had her in the Nursery."

"She can be a bit demanding sometimes."

"Yes, she can. It was so nice to be able to eat without having her attached to me eating or with a bottle in her mouth. If I'm feeding her, I eat in the family room or the bedroom."

"With our two, someone always wants to eat. I was a chubby baby. They eat but they're so skinny. Rita says they take after their daddy. With my luck, they'll take after him with everything."

"Are you two done with babies?"

"I might want more. I'm not getting any younger though but Trevor really wants a son. He loves these two a lot though but he wants one that's biologically his."

"I felt the same way. I love Erin and the boys but I guess I wanted one that was a part of both of us more than I thought. I am so glad I had her. Thankfully, Hank did it right and got a girl, which we both wanted."

"I take you're done."

"Yes. We're good with 4."

"I wish I could have another one but I'm not so sure I'd want an infant at my age. Kevin is wondering if he is going to be a big brother soon."

"I think Lucia would be very happy about that."

"Kevin loves Josh and Jordan and he wants either a brother or a sister. He's not picky."

"I can see Rafael with a daughter. I really could."

"He's a handsome one."

"Yes, he is but he has a bit of an attitude sometimes."

"I have to show you this picture."

Maggie found the picture on her phone and showed it to Olivia.

"Oh, that's adorable. They look like little Eds."

"Don't they?"

"Oh, yeah. Show that to Munch."

Maggie showed Munch the picture.

"I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it."

Olivia pulled up a picture on her phone.

"Here's mine."

"They're pathetic, aren't they?"

"They are but they're cute when they sleep."

"Trevor is always falling asleep with the kids."

"Mom, let me see the picture of Dad."

Olivia handed Justin her phone.

"Oh, that's funny."

"This one is one of my favorites."

Olivia found the other picture on her phone.

"All my babies."

"Us too, Erin."

"I thought so. My favorite is the one of Hank sleeping on your belly."

The door opened and Hank came in with Ed.

"There's trouble times two. I thought you went back to work."

"I did but I decided to take the rest of the afternoon off."

"What did you decide?"

"I decided not to talk to him."

"Good. I wasn't sure I wanted my husband and ex boyfriend working together anyway."

Hank sat down next to Olivia and kissed her. Ed sat down to Maggie and kissed her. Lexie started fussing.

"Are you hungry again? My goodness. Let's go change you first."

Olivia took Lexie upstairs to change her and then she went to feed her again.

"By the way, I gave everyone the afternoon off."

"Thanks."

"You still need your SUV though."

"Ok. Jay, can you take me?"

"Sure."

"Thanks."

"No problem."

Justin and Jay left to get Justin's SUV at the District, while Hank went upstairs to join Olivia. He got on the bed with her and put his arms around her. They kissed and then she put her head on his shoulder.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"It has been so long since we have been together."

"I know it has. I can promise you that New Year's Eve will be unforgettable."

"I can't wait."

Hank and Olivia started kissing again and then there was a knock at the door.

"Can we ever be alone anymore?"

"Apparently not. Come on in."

Lisa and Maggie came in with the twins. Lisa fed one, while Maggie gave the other one a bottle. Erin came in as well.

"Are we interrupting?"

"Of course you are."

Olivia gave Hank a look.

"Not at all."

"Wouldn't you rather hang out with the guys?"

"Not really but thanks for asking, Erin."

"Hold your daughter a minute."

"I'd love to."

Olivia handed Lexie to Hank and then he patted her on the back until she burped.

"That's my girl."

Emily came into the room as Hank handed Lexie back to Olivia.

"Mommy, why did Uncle Ed leave?"

"He went to check on Jenna and the boys."

"Oh."

Emily left and went back downstairs.

"I think someone has her great uncle wrapped around her little finger."

"She does."

"He really wants a granddaughter."

"Does Jenna want more kids?"

"She does but she's not ready to be in a relationship right now. She was lied to by the boys' father. He told her he was single but after they had been together, she found out differently. She was only with him once but that's all it took. He doesn't know about the boys mainly because she thought he'd try taking them away from her."

"A part of me could have seen Eric doing that but Greg has said he wouldn't have let that happen."

"I could have seen that happening with me too. Dad made sure the guy who raped me went to jail but his dad was a hot shot lawyer and tried getting his sentence reduced. He was 18 and I was 14, so that didn't help his case."

"It usually doesn't."

"My dad told his parents about the baby and they said I should just abort it. I'm grateful my parents were as supportive as they were and my sisters too. I always thought everyone else was ashamed of me because I became a young mother. I expected Pauline to be because that's just how she was with most things especially since she had a brand new baby at home and probably didn't want to be bothered with me. Sometimes I don't know why my parents had me at all. I'm 10 years younger than Pauline and 12 years younger than Ellen. I pretty much grew up with my nieces and nephews. Kevin told me once that he's glad I kept him."

There was another knock at the door.

"Come on in."

Ed came in with Josh and Jordan.

"Nana!"

"Hey, guys. How's Jenna?"

"She's kind of groggy. She's still at the hotel."

"Ok. Kevin would never leave the house without telling me he loved me. I never liked the fact that he wanted to be a firefighter. I never liked that my dad was a cop. My niece is exactly like her grandfather and became a cop. So, what do I do? I marry a cop. I'm happy with the decision I made though."

Everyone else joined them.

"Anyway, that morning was no different. He left to start his shift at the Fire Station and told me he loved me when he left but I had no idea it would be the last time he'd say it. The office I worked in was not that far away, so they called and told me not to come in. I just had a bad feeling most of the day that he would not be coming home. I had that same feeling about my dad the day he was shot before it even happened. I even have this guy telling me he loves me every day before he leaves."

"Yep. I do, you know."

"I hope so. I don't think you would have married me otherwise."

"You have helped me establish a relationship with my daughter. She wants to know if she can call you Mom. I told her she'd have to talk to you. She said you have been more of a mom to her these last couple months than her mother ever was."

"I'd love to. You know I love her like a daughter. After Kevin died, I sunk into a depression that I never thought I'd get out of. I was starting to feel like I didn't want to be her anymore. I really wish Michelle had said something about the baby. That boy is every bit like his father and it's scary sometimes."

Maggie found the picture she took of their freshman year pictures side by side and showed Olivia.

"This is my son at the same age as his son is now."

"Oh, wow! They do look alike. These two look like trouble."

"Yeah, they are."

"Definitely. They take after their grandpa. They have those blue eyes too."

"Erin, did you ever get a hold of Teddy?"

"No. He doesn't care. I've got my family right here."

"Sergeant, can I talk to you about something?"

"Sure, Halstead."

Hank kissed Olivia and Lexie, while Jay kissed Erin and then they we to the office to talk.

"What's going on?"

"You know how I feel about Erin, right?"

"Yeah. I'm fine with you two being together."

"I think I'm ready to ask her to marry me. I know this means that we won't be partners anymore but I love her and want to spend the rest of my life with her."

Jay pulled the ring out of his pocket and showed it to Hank.

"It's beautiful and I hope she does say yes. When are you planning to ask her?"

"Sometime in the next few days. I know Olivia wants to see the ring. We were talking about this earlier when Erin went to the bathroom."

"Does anyone else know?"

"Justin does and so does Will obviously. They both helped me pick the ring out."

"How bad was the one Justin liked? The one he liked when I was proposing to Olivia was pretty gawdy."

"Actually, we all liked the same one."

There was a knock on the office door.

"Who is it?"

"Who do you think?"

"Come on in."

Olivia opened the door and came in. She handed Lexie to Hank and then Jay showed her the ring.

"Jay, it's absolutely beautiful. When are you proposing?"

"Sometime in the next few days."

"Justin and Will helped him pick the ring out."

"Good. I'm really happy you're going to do this. Does this mean I'm getting a new detective?"

"More than likely but I don't know if it'll be now or after they're married."

"I've been doing some thinking about things myself and I've been considering decreasing my workload, so I can devote more time to Noah and Lexie."

"When you had to be on desk duty, you hated it."

"I know. My priorities have changed in the last 7 weeks."

"Hey, I get it. Mine have too."

Hank started blowing raspberries into Lexie's tummy and she smiled at him.

"You look like your mommy when you smile. You know that? Of course, you look like her all the time. Daddy loves you so much."

"So does Mommy."

Hank and Olivia each kissed one of Lexie's cheeks and then they all went back into the other room where everyone else was.

"Dad, can I hold her?"

"Sure."

Hank handed Lexie to Justin and then wrapped his arms around Olivia. Lisa and her family left after a while and then everyone had to worry about dinner. The next several days, everyone prepared for Christmas. Hank and Olivia had taken Noah to the Animal Shelter and let him pick out a dog, which he was beyond excited about. Captain was already protective of his new family. Hank came out of their bedroom at the same time Noah came out of his.

"Hey, Buddy, Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas, Daddy."

Hank and Noah went downstairs and let Captain out. While he was outside, they fed him.

"He's running around out there."

"Yep. Where's Mommy?"

"She'll be right down."

Munch came down first.

"Morning."

"Hi, Uncle Munch."

Noah opened the door and let Captain in just as the doorbell was ringing. Hank was heading to open the door as Olivia came down the stairs with Lexie.

"I got it."

Olivia looked to see who it was. It was Alex and Casey.

"Are we early?"

"Kind of. We just got up."

Captain ran up to them and gave them kisses.

"Captain, come on."

Everyone else joined them and then Hank, Justin and Jay went to fix breakfast.

"What are you two up to the rest of the day?"

"I'm going over to Antonio's."

"I'm going to Kyle's. Good idea for breakfast."

"Other than Noah, this is the first time I have had a real family for Christmas. Noah, did you tell Auntie Alex and Auntie Casey who came to visit us last night when Emily was here with her family?"

"Santa!"

"Wow!"

"When can we open presents?"

"After breakfast."

Noah started pouting.

"We got you the dog."

"I know."

"Why don't we go see what Santa left in your stocking?"

"Ok."

Noah, Daniel, Olive, Erin and Olivia went to look in their stockings.

"Can you get your sister's stocking for me?"

"Ok."

Noah got Lexie's stocking and took it to Olivia.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Can I look in Daddy's?"

"Daddy can look in his own and so can Jay and Justin."

The doorbell rang again.

"I got it."

"Thanks, Erin."

Erin went to answer the door. It was Melinda, Amanda, Jesse, Carisi and Fin.

"Merry Christmas."

"Hey!"

Everyone came in and went into the living room.

"Merry Christmas, Liv."

"Hey, I thought you all had plans."

"We celebrated Christmas Eve with our families and decided to surprise you for Christmas morning."

"Did anyone know you were coming?"

"Your hubby did. Hey, Munch."

"Hey."

"Amanda, what did you do last night?"

"I was with Carisi's family."

"Good. I think there are more people here from New York than not."

Captain came into check everyone out.

"This is Captain."

"Liv, you never seemed like you were animal person."

"I am. Hank and I took Noah to the Animal Shelter to pick him out. He's good with kids and he's very friendly."

"A Beagle, huh?"

"Yep."

"How old is he?"

"He's 2."

"Was this the name he came with?"

"Yes. He walks the perimeter of the house as far as he can go every time he's outside. He also checks on everyone before he settles for the night and that's usually with Noah. Hank likes that he checks everything out. Trevor and Lisa did the same thing and they got his brother, Sarge. We're guessing Captain is slightly older because of his 'ranking'. Trevor and Lisa already said they would take him when we go to Orlando."

Hank came out of the kitchen.

"Hello."

"Hey."

"What did you do?"

"I burned my hand."

"I don't know about you sometimes."

Olivia kissed Hank's hand and then she kissed him.

"Much better."

"Daddy, see what's in your stocking."

"I could do that."

Hank looked to see what was in his stocking.

"Is Lexie talkin' yet?"

"No. She's smiling a lot more."

"Probably gas."

Melinda and Amanda smacked Fin.

"You two workin' on #2 yet?"

"We're not having another one."

"You were so sure you weren't going to have this one."

"I know but I had my tubes tied after I had Lexie."

"So, one little Voight is enough for you?"

"If I was younger, I might consider another one. We're perfectly happy with the 4 we have. I want lots of grandbabies though."

"Justin and I are working on baby #2."

"You two will definitely be grandparents to any of my kids. I would love to name my first son Henry and call him little Hank."

"Hank Halstead?"

"Assuming it's with Jay, yes."

Jay came into the living room.

"Erin wants to name her first son Henry and call him little Hank."

"Hank Halstead. Not bad. Breakfast is about ready."

Justin came out of the kitchen as soon as he put everything on the table.

"Erin, can I say something before we all have breakfast?"

"Sure."

"You know I love you, right?"

"Yeah. I love you too."

"I was going to wait to do this but I don't think I can."

Jay took the ring box out of his pocket and got down on one knee.

"Erin Marie Lindsay, will you marry me?"

"What do you think?"

Jay put the ring on Erin's finger, he stood up and then he kissed her. She went to hug Hank and Olivia and then Olivia hugged Jay, while Hank patted him on the back.

"Did you talk to Hank about this?"

"I did the other night. Justin and Will helped me pick out the ring."

"Justin did? The ring he liked when Hank was planning to proposed to Liv was so gawdy."

"I love you too, Sis."

Everyone hugged Jay and Erin and then they had breakfast. After breakfast, they opened presents as they listened to Christmas music. Everyone that had to take showers took their showers, while Melinda and Amanda got the kids dressed. They got a picture of the 4 little ones together before Olivia and Hank came down as well as one with Erin, Justin, Noah and Lexie. Once Hank and Olivia came downstairs, they took a picture of the entire family. After a while, Alex and Casey left to spend the afternoon with Kyle and Antonio and Erin and Jay went to meet Will, so they could tell him their news. It turned out that Mouse and Alyssa got engaged for Christmas too. Olivia spent the rest of the day with her husband, three of their children, their daughter-in-law, grandson and her former Squad, making this one of the best Christmases she had ever had.
