A/N: I don't own any of the characters except my own.
"That is completely understandable. I'm not sure why Dad chose now to tell you how he felt about you."
"I don't know that I ever could have been in a relationship with him even if he and your mom had gotten divorced years ago when we still worked together. I didn't want to be the reason for the breakup of their marriage."
"We would have understood if you were. We know Dad cared about you and Mom knew too. She always referred to you as Dad's work wife."
"We had always suspected something was going on between the two of you. Why do you think I asked you that one time if you had ever slept with your partner?"
"Because you were being a smart ass."
"More than likely."
"He's always being one."
"How long have you two been seeing each other?"
"Since just after Christmas."
"Does he know everything?"
"Yes. He seems to like me despite all the baggage I have. I want my sons to have a father and I do want more kids."
"I know that feeling. I wanted the same thing for Noah. I didn't expect Lexie to come along but I'm glad she did. On top of that, I love being a grandma."
"I really want a daughter."
"If we stay together, you could end up with another set of twins, since I am a twin."
"I'll probably end up with them myself."
"Any of us could end up with twins."
"I just want someone to love me and my sons. I'm glad I found my dad but I'm ready to settle down. I don't want to live with him forever. I also don't want to rush into anything."
"We can take things as slowly as you want. I like you and the boys a lot. I'm ready to take parenthood on. I know what happened to you in the past and I can assure you that I would never hurt you or the boys."
"Thank you."
Trevor, Lisa, Ed and Maggie found them as Dickie put his arms around Jenna and kissed her cheek.
"You're lucky I like you, Officer Stabler."
"Daddy, please."
"I haven't been a father to her all that long because her mother kept us apart for 25 years. I'm not sure I'm ready to lose her to you yet."
"We're still trying to get to know each other. I care about Jenna and the boys a lot. I really want this to work between us. I swear to you, I won't let anyone hurt her again."
"I'm going to hold you to that. Hank, how's the eye?"
"It's fine. How's yours?"
"I'll live."
"He's been whining about it."
Ed gave Maggie a dirty look and then she kissed him.
"I love you."
"I know. I love you too."
"The boys wanted to know if Noah could stay with them tonight."
"The boys or Emily?"
"This time it was the boys."
"Noah, do you want to stay in Adam and Tyler's room tonight?"
"Yeah."
"Ok. Let's go get your pj's on and then Daddy can take you."
"Will you miss me?"
"Of course we will."
"Can you take me?"
"I have to feed your sister."
"You always have to feed her."
"I have to. She needs to eat. I'm sorry if you feel that I'm not paying enough attention to you. Come here."
Noah wrapped his arms around Olivia and she wrapped her arms around him.
"I love you, Mommy."
"I love you too, Sweetheart but I also love Justin, Erin and Lexie so much. I'll never stop loving you though. You know what?"
"What?"
"I'm proud of you for protecting me before."
"Good."
"I am too, Little Man."
"I had all my boys protecting me, including Jay."
"I need to stay on Voight's good side."
"Also on mine."
"We know he's our dad but he deserved it. He shouldn't have just kissed you like that."
"I don't like when Hank resorts to violence but I was pretty sure he wasn't going to take any crap from Elliot after he shoved him down on the chair and kissed me. I would have been very surprised if Hank hadn't done something in response to Elliot's actions."
"I think he's been waiting to punch me for years."
"No doubt. A lot of people have. There were many times when I would have loved to take a swing at you. You came after SVU many times over the years."
"Were you the only one from SVU that he arrested?"
"He arrested Rollins too."
"Her sister was a piece of work."
"Yeah. Tell me about it. Her mother is too. Amanda has done such a great job with Jesse. I can understand what she's going through because I've been a single mother. It's so much easier parenting with someone else. Hank is an amazing father. He's been great with Noah from the moment they met but he's even more amazing with his daughter."
"He's a softy when it comes to the women in his life."
"I can see you being the same way with a daughter."
"I won't deny that. I want a daughter."
"Jay, do you want to be a dad?"
"Oh yeah."
"We're naming our first son Hank."
"Ok. I'd like to name our first daughter Nadia."
"That works for me."
"Hank Halstead?"
"Why not? It's a strong name. It could be Henry Jay, Henry Justin or Henry William. Who knows?"
"Our daughter could be Nadia Erin or Nadia Margaret."
"Nadia Camille too."
"Our first daughter will be Camille Olivia. That way I'm including both of my mom's in my daughter's name."
"Is Olive ok with this?"
"I am perfectly fine with it."
"Being pregnant is amazing but exhausting."
"I agree with Olivia."
"I'm looking forward to being pregnant one day soon. I'm just grateful that the two of you are going to be my kids' grandparents. I would not have wanted Bunny to be a part of their lives."
"Do you ever wonder about your father?"
"Sometimes but I'm guessing he was a loser like Bunny was. The only real dad I've known is Hank and honestly, that's enough for me. I loved Camille like a mom and she loved me like a daughter. She didn't have to. Justin became my brother the moment I moved in. Sure we fought like siblings at times but that was to be expected. I was heartbroken when Camille died. I felt like my own mom died at that moment. These two fell apart. Hank basically declared that he would never be put through that again. Little did he know was that 4 years later, his life would change for the better. That happened all because I got an concussion and Hank came to New York to send me home."
"That didn't go too well. She threatened to arrest me."
"You earned my respect but most of all, you captured my heart and you gave me the greatest gift anyone could have ever given me. I love you so much."
"I love you too. I'm glad Erin told me to go to New York."
"Oh, me too."
"I thought you two would be perfect for each other and I thought Liv would be a great mom for us."
"Erin, you did good."
"Thanks Justin."
"Bonus, we got a new brother and a new sister out of it."
"We sure did."
"I'm quite happy being the mother to 4 children. I love the 4 of you so much."
"We love you too."
Both Justin and Erin sat down and hugged Olivia and Hank.
"Love you, Dad."
"I love you guys too."
"You make such an awesome family."
"Thanks. Olive, do you want me to take her?"
"I'm good."
"It's about time for bed anyway. Noah, you want to stay with Adam and Tyler, right?"
"Yeah."
"Ok."
"It is so beautiful here."
"I know. It beats freezing cold Chicago."
"It beats New York too. At least we didn't get 2 feet of snow again."
"Apparently it's snowing in Chicago. I just got a text from Casey."
"Oh goody!"
"The last case I worked on with CPD when I was with Manhattan SVU, it was so cold in Chicago."
"Did you always stay at the same hotel?"
"That time I didn't. Where I stayed, I really didn't care how cold it was outside."
"Gee, you must have been staying with Hank."
"Yep. That was a busy weekend for us."
"It sure was. We got engaged that weekend and that's when our daughter was conceived."
"Exactly. Hank said Lexie was born at the right time. In his world, history was made two days after her birth."
"I said the same thing about Nicky."
"I said the same thing about Becca and Charlotte."
"I was rooting for the Cubs even though I'm still a Mets' fan. I did it for Hank."
"Me too. I knew it was important to Lisa."
"I rooted for them. Over 100 years without winning a World Series was a long time. I'm glad they won. I really like Chicago now that I've been there multiple times."
"Hank said he didn't root for the Mets when they were in the World Series the year before."
"Because I don't root for the team that beat mine. Besides, I've never liked the Mets anyway. I tolerate Mets' fans though."
"Oh, so now you only tolerate me?"
"I'm crazy about you."
"That's good to know."
Hank kissed Olivia's cheek.
"What team does Noah prefer?"
"Noah?"
"Cubbies like Daddy and Justin."
"And me."
"Yeah."
"I'm outnumbered."
"I am too, so don't feel bad."
"Mommy."
"Yes, Emily."
"Can I stay with Auntie Maggie and Uncle Ed?"
"I think they have Jenna and the boys in their room too."
"Actually, we don't. They're in their own room. We'll take her."
"Yay!"
"Ok, Noah, let's get you ready for bed."
Noah got up and then Olivia got up. Hank got up and then everyone headed back to the hotel. Olivia got Noah ready for bed and then she took him to Trevor and Lisa's room, while Hank gave Lexie a bath. She came back ad joined them in the bathroom. She kissed Hank's cheek.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"How's your eye?"
"It's ok."
"Good. I'm going to take a quick shower, so I can get all this sand off of me."
"Ok."
Olivia kissed Hank and took a shower as Hank finished giving Lexie a bath and got her ready for bed. Hank heard a knock at the door, so he went to answer it. It was Elliot.
"What do you want?"
"I came to apologize. I shouldn't have kissed Liv or punched you. I'm sorry."
"It won't happen again?"
"No. I just want to be a part of Liv's life again."
"That's up to her."
Hank heard another knock at the door, so he went to answer it. This time it was Ed.
"Stabler asked me to meet him here."
"Come on in."
"Thanks."
Ed came in.
"Can you hold Lexie for me?"
"Yeah sure."
Hank handed Lexie to Ed and took some clothes into Olivia.
"I have a nightgown I was going to put on."
"Stabler is here to apologize and Ed is here too. I don't want anyone else seeing you look sexy in a nightgown."
"You're absolutely right."
"As soon as they're gone and Lexie is asleep, I plan on taking off whatever you are wearing and making passionate love to you."
"I will be looking forward to that."
Hank kissed Olivia and then he let her get dressed.
"She'll be right out."
"Ok."
Hank took Lexie and held her until Olivia came out of the bathroom.
"There's Mommy."
Olivia got on the bed and then she fed Lexie.
"Liv, I wanted to apologize for how I acted earlier. I want to become a part of your life again."
"As long as you understand that I am truly in love with Hank and you and I can never be any more than friends. You also have to respect that I'm friends with people you don't necessarily approve of, like Ed."
"Well, I guess since my son and his daughter are dating, we need to learn to get along. I'll try if you will."
"Why not?"
"I'm sorry I hit you too. Although it felt good after all this time."
"I probably deserved it after everything I've done over the years. I'm not that guy anymore though."
"If Liv can forgive you after all this time, maybe I can too eventually."
There was another knock at the door, so Hank went to answer it. It was Trevor with a pouty Noah.
"Someone forgot his teddy bear."
"We can't have that, can we?"
"No."
Noah ran in and found his bear. He crawled up on the bed and kissed Olivia.
"Love you, Mommy."
"Love you too."
Then Noah kissed Lexie's cheek.
"Love you, Lexie."
He then stood on the bed and wrapped his arms around Hank.
"Love you, Daddy."
"Love you too, Little Man."
Trevor took him back to their room.
"Does Noah know the real reason you're here?"
"No."
"You in trouble?"
"An old case is coming back to haunt me. Do you remember the Bradshaw case 14 years ago?"
"Yeah. He's the guy that threatened us when he got hauled off to prison and threatened Alex and Langan if I remember correctly."
"Yep. He showed up in Chicago after being paroled. He told Hank's Unit that if he ever finds me, Alex and Trevor, he will rape and murder Alex and me and murder Trevor. Hank takes threats to his family seriously, so we're here for a week."
There was another knock at the door, so Hank went to answer it. It was Lisa, Kyle and Alex.
"Kyle."
"Sergeant Voight."
The 3 of them came in.
"Hey Lieutenant."
"Hey Kyle. Alex, did you know he was coming?"
"Nope."
"Did you leave Stephanie in charge?"
"I did. Is that ok?"
"Yes, that's fine."
"Has anyone heard anything?"
"Nope."
"How long are you here?"
"Through next weekend."
"Your brother is here too."
"I did know that. I didn't want Alex to go through this by herself and I also wanted to be here for you and Trevor as well."
"Thank you. We don't need Alex going back into Witness Protection."
"I hated that so much."
"That sucked."
"I understand Kathy knows what you did to bail me out of jail."
"Yep. She was mad at first but understood why I did it. Your attorney was a bit pricey."
"I can imagine."
"Cragen was advised that you needed a good Defense Attorney if we wanted to prove your innocence."
"After Sealview, I don't think I would have dealt with being in prison very well. Hold your daughter."
"Ok. Come on, Pretty Girl."
Hank took Lexie from Olivia and patted her on the back until she burped. He handed her back to Olivia, so she could finish feeding her. Everyone left and then Hank went to take a quick shower. Olivia put Lexie to bed and waited for Hank to come out of the shower. Once he was done, he got on the bed, they started kissing and then they made love. Afterwards they fell asleep in each other's arms.
