A/N: I don't own any of the characters except my own.
Olivia was in her last week of maternity leave as she was planning to return to work on Monday. Alyssa had called and said she was sick, so Olivia had to deal with the 3 kids by herself. So far, the day had been going fine. She pretty much stayed in the living room, so if someone came to the door, she'd be right there. Noah and Daniel were in the family room playing and Olivia had just finished up feeding Lexie when the doorbell rang.
"Hi."
"I have a delivery for Olivia Voight. Sign here please."
Olivia signed for the delivery and the delivery guy set it down by the door for her. After she thanked him, he left and she shut the door. Olivia took the card out and read it.
'Happy 1 year. I love you.'
"GUYS."
Noah and Daniel came out of the family room.
"Do you want to go for a ride?"
"Where?"
"To see Daddy."
"Yeah."
"Ok. Go potty first, Noah."
Noah went to the bathroom, while Olivia got Lexie bundled up. She put her in her carrier and went into the bathroom herself. She got the boys bundled up and put her own coat, hat and gloves on. They went out to the garage and she got everyone into their seats. She then drove to the 21st. When she arrived, she got everyone out and headed inside. She ran into Burgess and Tay on the way in.
"Hey, Lieutenant."
"Hello, ladies."
Trudy was at the desk as always.
"Olivia!"
"Hey, Trudy. Can you buzz us in?"
"Of course. Hey, guys."
"Hi, Auntie Trudy."
"Tudy!"
"I can't get over how much Daniel looks like Hank."
"I know, right? Come on, guys."
Olivia took Daniel's hand and they headed up the stairs. Trudy buzzed them in and they continued up. Daniel saw Justin right away.
"Dada!"
"Hey, Buddy!"
Justin picked Daniel up.
"I missed you. Are you being a good boy for Grandma?"
"Yeah!"
"Hey, Noah."
"Hi, Justin."
"Hey, Mom."
"Hey, Sweetie."
"Hey there, Lexie."
Lexie smiled at Justin.
"When are you back to work, Lieutenant?"
"Monday. Sweetie, where's your dad?"
"He said he had an errand to run. Did he know you were coming?"
"No. I wanted to surprise him. I hope he's not doing something he'll regret."
"I think he's done with all that."
Hank came up.
"Hey."
"Hi."
"What's wrong?"
"Did you do something you'll regret?"
"Absolutely not."
Hank wrapped his arms around her and looked her straight in the eyes, so she knew he was telling the truth. He kissed her, took her hand and went to his office.
"I want to take you home and make passionate love to you right now."
"I love that idea."
"I thought you might."
"Thank you for the flowers."
"You're welcome."
"Did you remember on your own that we have been together for a year or did Erin have to remind you?"
"I remembered on my own. Does that surprise you?"
"Yes, actually, it does. How are we going to do this with the boys around?"
"Justin is taking them for a few hours. I took the afternoon off and told him he could too if he did me a favor."
"We still have her though."
"She is going down for a nap in her own room."
"Sounds like a plan to me. Let's get out of here."
Hank and Olivia walked out of his office, said goodbye to the boys, took Lexie and headed down the stairs. Alex was on her way up.
"Sergeant, do you have time to talk about that case?"
"I don't but everyone else is here, so they can discuss it with you."
"Are you coming back?"
"No."
"You were the one who made the arrest though."
"Along with Detective Dawson. The guy was arrested in New York for rape and murder 14 years ago and got paroled. The two of you and Trevor are familiar with the case. He came here and did the same thing. We took over the case from SVU."
"Why would you do that?"
"He threatened to do the same thing to the arresting officer and Prosecutor and murder his former Defense Attorney if he ever found them. I'm thinking Casey needs to take over on this. I didn't want SVU taking on this case and have to worry about something happening to you or worse, our children. I really don't want to see any of you get hurt and that includes Trevor. The kids need you, especially Noah and Lexie and I'm not ready to bury another wife."
Hank's eyes started tearing up and Olivia wiped the tears away.
"As long as I have you in my life, I'll always be safe."
"I just can't be held responsible for my actions if he would go after you."
"Did you contact Manhattan SVU about getting their notes on the file?"
"Yes. Lieutenant Douglas said she would send someone to bring the file out here."
Fin, Barba, Tucker and Trevor all walked in.
"Hey, Sarge. Hey, Liv."
"Hey."
"Hey, yourself. I see you brought reinforcement."
"Yeah."
"I brought the file from the DA's office and Trevor contacted his former partner and had him bring the files on the case to me to pass along to the Cook County State's Attorney's office."
"I remembered the case and that he had made threats to NYPD personnel upon being taken into custody. I went to IAB and asked to see the file on that case, since I was the one that wrote the report. I said there was a possibility that your life was being threatened by this person in another city and I wanted CPD to have as much information on this case as possible."
"I don't remember IAB being involved with this case."
"We weren't until threats were made. Are you sure it's the best thing to have Cabot as the Prosecutor when he also threatened her life? Which team picked up the case?"
"Both Intelligence and SVU got called to the case. My guys ran a check on the guy and everything that he's done came up, including the arresting officer, the Prosecutor and Defense Attorney. While in custody, the guy made threats that if he found the arresting officer and Prosecutor, he'd rape and murder both of them and murder his Defense Attorney for letting him go to jail in the first place. I didn't want SVU taking this case, since it involves Olivia and indirectly, Lisa because of Trevor."
Another cop came in and went to see Commander Crowley. Hank and Olivia both knew who he was.
"Who's that?"
"Lieutenant Bradley from IAB."
"Lieutenant Voight, Sergeant Voight, my office please."
Olivia left the baby with Fin and then she and Hank went into Commander Crowley's office.
"Commander. Lieutenant."
"Lieutenant. Sergeant. Have a seat."
Hank and Olivia both sat down.
"Intelligence is being removed from the Bradshaw case. I understand why you took the case from SVU and Hank, I understand that you want to protect your family. That's why we're removing Intelligence from this. This guy could go after anyone related to or close to them, including yourself or even Justin and Detectives Lindsay and Halstead. Sergeant Langan is at risk. We're taking these threats seriously. Ms. Cabot is also being removed from it."
"Ok."
"We are assigning this case to Major Crimes but need as much information from the previous case as we possibly can."
"It's already here."
Olivia went to get the rest of the group.
"Commander Crowley and Lieutenant Bradley, this is Sergeant Odafin Tutuola from Manhattan SVU and Captain Ed Tucker, who used to be with IAB with the NYPD and is now with Hostage Negotiation. This is the Manhattan Assistant District Attorney, Rafael Barba. Of course, you already know Alexandra Cabot and Trevor Langan, Sergeant Langan's husband."
"Captain Tucker, I think I spoke with you before regarding Sergeant Tutuola taking a bullet for Sergeant Voight."
"Yes, you did."
Lexie started fussing.
"What, Sweetie? Mommy just fed you."
Hank took Lexie out of her carrier and put her over his shoulder as he rubbed her back. She fell right to sleep.
"Lieutenant, when do you and Sergeant Langan return to work?"
"Monday."
"Since he left New York and wasn't supposed to, he will have to go back there as well."
"It's possible it's me that lead him to Chicago. He could have called my former firm and they could have told him that I'm in Chicago now. Olivia's last name is different than it was 14 years ago and Alex hasn't been in New York for years."
"That's possible but he could have had someone following me and Alex around too as well as you, which puts us all in danger, including the kids. One of these times, I'm not going to be so lucky. This had to happen today of all days."
Olivia got upset and ran out of the room.
"Sergeant, what is she talking about?"
"One of these three can explain. I need to calm her down."
Hank handed Lexie to Alex and went after Olivia.
"Trudy, where'd she go?"
"Downstairs."
Hank went downstairs and heard banging. It turned out that Olivia was taking her frustrations out on the Cage and kicking it.
"Hank, why does this have to happen?"
"I don't know, Babe. Everything is going to be fine. I promise."
"What if it's not?"
"If that bastard comes after anyone in my family, you know where I'll be putting him and I won't be playing anything by the book."
The rest of the squad came down.
"I thought you two left."
"Alex came in wanting to discuss the case. Crowley and the Rat Squad are taking us off of it."
"We heard."
"Hey! You down there?"
"Yes, Fin."
Fin, Tucker, Barba, Trevor and Alex came down with Lexie.
"Thanks for your help."
"Glad to. You know that. The Commander suggested that maybe both your family and the Langans get away for a week or so."
"What's that going to prove? Where would we go?"
"You've been wanting to take a trip to New York."
"When it gets warmer. Not now."
"We could get a suite at the Plaza or Waldorf Astoria. Noah will be happy he can see Lucy."
"Trevor, are you going to go somewhere too?"
"I have to talk to Lisa yet."
"I still don't want to go. New York is really the last place I want to be right now."
"Then do you want to go to California to see Nick?"
"No."
"Then where do you want to go?"
"Home to bed."
Olivia took Lexie and went to head up to get the boys.
"Olivia, you're not going by yourself."
"Watch me!"
"Damn it, Olivia, stop being so stubborn! I know what's best for you."
"Do you really, Sergeant? I outrank you."
"Here we go again."
"I outrank you, Lieutenant."
"Stay out of this, Tucker! This really isn't any of your concern."
"Oh, no?"
"You have never cared about anyone but yourself. Ever."
"I could have refused to help you a year ago if that was really the case and left it up to Tutuola, Carisi and Dodds but I didn't."
"Hank, I am so sorry I'm snapping at you. I am just so frustrated right now."
"Trust me, I understand."
"Just hold me. Please."
"You don't even have to ask."
Hank put his arms around Olivia and Lexie and held them.
"Ed, I apologize. I shouldn't have said what I said to you either. I know you care about me."
"It's ok. Yes, I do care about you, which is why I'm here now."
"I appreciate it. Thank you. All of you. Hank, you know where I'd like to go?"
"Where?"
"Back to Hawaii."
"Let's see what we can do."
Everyone went back upstairs and then both Lisa and Olive arrived at the District. Olive and Lisa agreed on Hawaii, so Hank and Trevor made the arrangements for their families to spend the next week in Hawaii to get away from Chicago and the threats. Trevor invited both mothers to come with them and Erin and Jay were also included. At the same time, Ed made arrangements to take Maggie, Jenna and the boys there as well. He cleared it with Michelle and she was fine giving Jenna some time off. Everyone was leaving for either Honolulu or New York the next morning.
