A/N: I don't own any of the characters except my own.

Lexie had woken up during the night. Hank woke up and saw how peacefully Olivia was sleeping, so he put his robe on, fixed Lexie's bottle, picked her up and fed her.

"Daddy loves you so much. He loves Mommy, your brothers, Erin, Olive and Daniel too. I think I love your mommy more and more every day. I will do anything to keep our family safe. I promise you that. More like you have my word."

Olivia was so sound asleep, she was snoring.

"Mommy must be tired. Usually when she hears you up, she wakes up. That's ok. We're on vacation. I don't mind."

Hank kissed Lexie's head and then he finished feeding her her bottle. He patted her back until she burped and then she fell asleep in his arms. He fell asleep as well. A few hours later, Olivia woke up and saw Hank sleeping in the chair with Lexie in his arms. She decided to take a picture. She took the picture and sent it to Erin and Justin. She put her robe on and went into the bathroom. After she came out of the bathroom, she heard a knock at the door. It was Justin and Erin.

"Hey Mom."

"Hey."

"That picture was so cute."

"Wasn't it? Now you can see it for yourselves."

Erin and Justin walked in and saw Hank sleeping with Lexie in his arms.

"How cute is that?"

Olivia kissed Hank on the forehead and then she kissed Lexie's. Hank woke up.

"Hey."

"Hey yourself."

"Look who's here."

"Morning Dad."

"Jay and I are going to go exploring. We want to go hiking up Diamond Head."

"I don't think my knee could take that."

"Mine neither."

"I wanted to do that the last time but I didn't think it was such a good idea being pregnant. Mind if I tag along?"

"Not at all."

"Olive will probably go to. Dad and I can hang out with the kids."

"Maybe we could go to Pearl Harbor."

"Sounds like a plan."

Hank handed Lexie to Olivia, so she could feed her and then everyone went to get ready for their day. After Olivia was done feeding Lexie, they met the rest of the family for breakfast, once Trevor brought Noah back to them. After breakfast, Olivia kissed Hank, Noah and Lexie and Olive kissed Justin and Daniel. Then the two of them headed out with Erin and Jay, while Hank and Justin took the kids to Pearl Harbor. Trevor, Lisa, Maggie, Ed, Jenna, Dickie, Alex, Kyle and Elliot were all going on the hike as well, while Trevor and Lisa's mothers spent some time with the kids and the 4 Stabler girls spent time together.

"So, Liv, no hubby?"

"No. He had a bad fall a little over 6 months ago and had knee surgery. On top of that, he broke his foot and his tailbone and bruised his back. Justin had knee surgery a few days after Hank and I got married. Hank and Justin were going to take the 3 kids to Pearl Harbor."

"That's where the moms were taking our kids and Josh and Jordan."

"I've been wanting to start exercising more but it's been too cold in Chicago to go out walking. I really haven't done much walking since just before the baby was born. My big thing lately is swimming, so I can't wait until it gets warmer and we get the pool ready for summer. We had thought about signing Noah up for swimming lessons at the Y, so he can swim all year. I'm thinking about getting a membership there, so I can swim all year or go work out there."

"Maybe that will be an incentive for me if you do. We can take the kids swimming and go work out after our shift. I need to get rid of more of the baby weight."

"Yeah, me too."

"Liv, I think you look beautiful as always."

"Yeah, Hank thinks so too but his opinion is the only one that matters."

Both Ed and Trevor tried not to laugh.

"Casey and I have been thinking about starting to get a workout routine. Maybe we'll all have to meet up."

"I've been thinking about it myself. At least when it's nicer out, you, Lisa and I can go out walking after dinner."

"Very true."

"That might even get me to go work out. Kim and I both want to start a routine either before or after our shifts. We need to start our Friday girls' night out again."

"Yeah, we do. As long as I can count on Hank to watch Noah and Lexie, we can start up again."

"The same with Justin."

"If one of them is home, we'd be fine."

"Count me in. Even if Trevor isn't home, his mother is watching the kids."

"Casey and I will probably join you if we're invited."

"You are. Gabby and Sylvie join us if they're not working. Trudy, Cindy Herrmann and Donna Boden join us all the time. Sometimes Sharon, Natalie, Sarah, Maggie and April from Med join us but not all the time."

"Trudy?"

"She's a character but she and I get along so well and she and Hank have been friends for over 20 years."

"Trudy is great. She was so supportive after Camille died."

"Are you two looking forward to coming back?"

"Not really."

"Me neither."

"We need to discuss the possibility of me coming to SVU."

"We will."

"Erin is coming to SVU?"

"Eventually, yes."

"For good?"

"Yes."

"That'll be great. Sergeant Voight is ok with this?"

"He doesn't want Erin and Jay working in the same Unit."

"SVU is the only other Unit I'd work in anyway."

"Intelligence is probably the only other Unit I'd work in."

"Me too."

"I wouldn't mind being in Intelligence myself."

"Do the two squads ever work together?"

"All the time."

"Hank responds to you more than most."

"Oh yeah!"

"Erin that sounded gross."

"Get your mind out of the gutter, Halstead!"

"That way too, actually."

"Geez, Liv!"

"I have that effect on him. I can't help it. I know how to get my way with him."

"He has definitely been in love with you from the moment he first met you. I think threatening to arrest him was a real turn on for him."

"For me, I think it started when I was in Chicago that first time. I should have told him I has feelings for him during the stuff with Yates. When he called to tell me he threatened him, I should have told him then. Honestly, I don't know what I would have done if he hadn't felt the same way about me. I have never been this in love with someone before."

"I don't think he has either and I know he was in love with Camille. It's different with you though."

"I owe it all to you and Fin."

"Liv, how is Fin?"

"He's a Sergeant now."

"Fin, a Sergeant? I can't picture that. Of course, I can't picture you as a Lieutenant either."

"Things were a lot easier when I was a Sergeant. I'm not in it for the politics. That's for sure. The NYPD is definitely more about politics than CPD is. Cragen got me to take the Sergeant's exam before he retired. Munch had already retired. I was told that NYPD Brass wanted a Lieutenant running SVU and not a Sergeant. I tried to get Fin to take the Sergeant's exam around the time I took the Lieutenant's exam but he said no. I'm now trying to talk Hank into taking the Lieutenant's exam."

"He doesn't care that you rank higher than he does?"

"Not really. The last case I worked on with them before I moved to Chicago, he didn't want me going with the rest of them. I told him that I outranked him, so he didn't have a choice. I know he did it because he's only worried about my safety."

"Now I understand why he didn't want me going to get Yates myself."

"He does know what's best for both of us."

"That's for sure."

Everyone continued walking. Olivia ended up stepping wrong and hurt her foot.

"Damn it!"

"You ok?"

"No. I just hurt my foot."

"Can you walk on it?"

Olivia tried walking on it.

"It really hurts."

"I'll take her back to the hotel."

"I will too."

"I can take her."

"I'd rather have Ed and Trevor take me."

"I hope you feel better, Liv."

"Thanks, Erin."

"Me too."

"Thanks, Olive."

Erin and Olive hugged Olivia, while Trevor and Ed kissed their wives. They both put an arm around Olivia and headed back towards the hotel.

"Thanks you two."

"No problem."

"I see you didn't want Stabler taking you back."

"I still don't quite trust him not to pull something if we're alone. I don't think Hank would appreciate that. He trusts the two of you."

"Do you think it's broken or just sprained?"

"I think it's just sprained. Is it wrong of me not to trust Elliot?"

"Honestly, no."

"I agree."

"I don't mind if he wants to be a part of my life again but he shouldn't have done what he did."

"No, he shouldn't have."

"I never thought I'd see the day where I'd trust you two over Elliot. I'm still hurt by the fact that the just left without a goodbye. I know you said the two of you talked about it. I don't know if I can every really forgive him for that."

"That's your choice."

They saw Kyle's brother running towards them.

"Kyle texted me and told me what happened. Do you think it's broken?"

"Probably just sprained."

"Do you want anything for the pain?"

"I would prefer not taking anything since I am nursing."

"True."

They saw Hank coming towards them.

"Babe, you ok?"

"I'm better now that you're here. Did you lose the kids?"

"They're with Justin, Pauline and Rita. Erin texted me."

"Are the kids behaving?"

"Daniel is surprisingly and so is Noah. Noah offered to hold Emily's hand, so she decided to smack him. Adam and Tyler are fighting with each other and so are Josh and Jordan."

"Those two are trouble."

"Like their grandpa?"

"I'm not trouble."

"Really?"

"Ok, maybe I am."

"They certainly look like you."

"I won't deny that."

Ed pulled something out of his wallet.

"This is a picture of me at their age."

"Oh my God! You were two once?"

"Very funny!"

"I'm teasing. You haven't changed much."

"Not really."

"Jenna looks like you too."

"I hear that from Maggie all the time."

"How'd you end up with these two coming back?"

"They offered. So did Elliot but I went with these two instead."

"Wise choice."

"I figured as much."

"I apologize for Emily's behavior."

"Don't worry about it."

They found a bench and then Kevin wrapped up Olivia's ankle.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

Erin sent Olivia a text when they reached the top of Diamond Head."

"They made it. What a view!"

She showed it to Hank.

"That is pretty."

Trevor and Ed had gotten texts from their wives.

"That looks amazing."

"It sure does."

"Do you want to go back to the room to rest?"

"Yeah, I guess."

Olivia got up and then Ed and Trevor walked her the rest of the way to the hotel. When they got to the room, Hank called to have some more pillows brought up."

"Thanks for your help, you two."

"No problem. Hope you feel better."

"I'm sure I will eventually. I really need to enjoy the peace and quiet while I still can."

"I can't blame you for feeling that way. Emily, Adam and Tyler are enough to drive me nuts sometimes."

"The twins drive me nuts sometimes but they're usually good for Maggie. Jenna still wants more kids?"

"The boys are two don't forget."

"Yeah, true."

"Noah can be a little crazy sometimes and Daniel is getting closer to two, so sometimes they drive us all nuts, including Olive and she's pretty patient with both of them. Once I'm back to work, Alyssa will have to deal with all 3 of them on her own. She is so good with the boys, especially when I'm trying to have some one on one time with Lexie. I already told her that if Lexie doesn't want to go down for her nap, she should put them all in the car and take them to see Hank. He can get Lexie to sleep very quickly."

"So, she's definitely Daddy's girl."

"Completely."

"That's a good thing."

"It is."

"Believe it or not, I think Richard is good for Jenna and the boys."

"Good. Are you and Rafael getting along?"

"We're not best friends or anything but for Kevin, we get along ok."

"I've never seen him this serious about anyone before. I'm glad he's willing to take on being a dad to Kevin."

"Maggie really likes him. Maggie and Lucia get along really well."

"Babe, can I get you anything?"

"Ice please."

"Of course."

Hank went to the ice machine to get some ice and then he put it on Olivia's ankle.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Hank kissed Olivia as he sat down next to her.

"I'm sorry you two had to come back here with me."

"Don't be sorry."

"Like I said, I didn't trust Elliot not to pull something."

"Personally, I trust these two more than I'd trust Stabler."

"That's kind of what I though."

"I probably should have gone with you."

"I didn't know he was going to be there."

"I knew since he came with Richard to get Jenna. I knew you were going because I took Emily back to Lisa and Trevor and Lisa had already talked to Erin. I knew Jenna was going because she came to our room and said they were going. I didn't want to go but I figured I needed to. I don't think I'll ever completely trust Stabler."

"I don't blame you. A part of me needed closure and I got that now. Even if I was still single, I doubt I'd start something with him romantically. I would like to have the kids in my life again but I'm not so sure I want him back in my life. I never expected the two of you to be a big part of my life, especially when I hated both of you from Day 1 but I'm glad you are."

"I'm glad you allowed me to be in your life."

"Me too. I'm glad you called me when you were being held hostage."

"I am too. I know you wanted more but I'm glad we became friends."

"Same here."

"I'm glad that both of you look out for her. I wasn't too sure I liked either of you at first. I know when we first met, we both wanted to get her out of that townhouse safely. I had a feeling that you were not necessarily going to tell her that I was there when you told me to go back to Chicago because you had it under control. I knew how I felt about her at that point. Camille told me many times that I was never good at communicating how I felt. She and I were married for over 20 years and after she died, I had promised myself that I wouldn't be put through that again. It happened again but obviously, I didn't quite know how to tell her that I had feelings for her. I wasn't sure the long distance thing was what I really wanted. In the 9 months between the stuff with Yates and me showing up in New York a year ago, I did a lot of thinking. I realized I couldn't see my life without her as a part of it. I could have told her how I felt and had my heart broken into a million pieces because she tells me she wants to be with someone else. I would have had to accept that if that's what it had come to."

"I admit that it did cross my mind but one of the other four would have told her that you had been there, so I probably wouldn't have gotten away with it. I developed feelings for her too. I've never been good with communicating my feelings either, especially after my divorce. It took me a while to accept that Olivia wanted to be with someone else. I don't even know what I was thinking. She is the first person I learned to trust. After the divorce, I had trust issues, which is why I joined IAB in the first place. I wanted to confirm that I couldn't trust people. I'm trying to move passed that now. I have felt so much better about a lot in my life since I left IAB and fell in love with Maggie."

"I can understand you not liking me at first. I did kiss Olivia unexpectedly. Like both of you, I developed feelings for her over the years. Of course I felt like a total idiot when I admitted to her that I had feelings for her and she tells me she's engaged to someone else. If I hadn't met and fallen in love with Lisa and Emily, I wouldn't have had the chance to get to know Olivia on a more personal level, allowing us to have the friendship we do now."

"Before Jenna became a part of my life and Maggie's life, Maggie and I had discussed the possibility of moving to Chicago once I retire. She wants to be closer to Sarah and Lisa. She's also starting to have a better relationship with Pauline. Then Jenna came into the picture and now we bought the new place. Maggie doesn't want to leave New York when she is just starting to establish a relationship with her grandson. I'm establishing one with him as well and with my own grandsons. A part of me thinks leaving New York would be better for Maggie because of her losing her son."

"It's a hard decision to have to make. I didn't think I'd ever get out of there but it's the best decision I could have made for myself and for Noah."

"I certainly never thought I'd leave New York. The moment Lisa and Emily came into my life, I knew I had a decision to make. I never expected my parents to follow me to Chicago but I'm glad they did. Family is important to both of us. She helped me have a better relationship with my brother again and I helped her have a better one with her mom."

"I never knew what family life was like until Noah came into my life. I never had much of a relationship with my mother. I tried to establish a relationship with my half brother but felt he was just using me most of the time. For the longest time, my squad was my family. The fact that I had no family was the reason the Prosecution said I was a flight risk at my arraignment in the Vandyne case. All I can say is, I'm glad Elliot got me a hot lawyer."

"You weren't too happy when I showed up though."

"I know I wasn't. All I remember about that was I was sick with the flu and I was asleep in Cragen's office. This giant rat woke me up and arrested me for something I didn't do. I should have just thrown up on him. I thought I was having a nightmare or maybe I was hallucinating because I was delirious with a fever."

"Babe, I don't think it's amused."

"I guess not."

"I thought it was funny."

"Thank you Trevor. I appreciate that."

"Pick on the IAB guy. Why don't you?"

"Serves you right."

"I'm sorry."

"Mark this day down. Ed Tucker said he was sorry. I'm teasing you."

"I'm trying to be a better person for my family. It seems so weird to say that."

"You have family though."

"I know but never one of my choosing. I don't spend that much time with my family as it is. I managed not to see any of them during the holidays. No one knows I'm married and they certainly don't know that I have a 25-year old daughter. Maggie, Jenna and the boys are my family and that's all I'm worried about."

"Hank, Justin, Olive, Daniel, Noah, Lexie, Erin and Jay are my family but I have friends that are also like family to me as well. All I have ever wanted was to have someone to love and to have them love me back. When that little boy came into my life, I finally knew what it felt like to love someone more that life itself. I knew I had feelings for Hank since we first met but I wasn't really sure how he felt. Brian left during the hardest time in my life, which was my recovery from my ordeal with William Lewis. My so-called best friend/partner of 12 years walked out on me because he couldn't deal with the aftermath of the shooting in the Squadroom. Did he not think I'd have problems with that? Of course I did. Now he shows up and tells me after 5½ years that he has feelings for me. He certainly has a funny way if showing it. To me, when you love someone, you do everything you can for that person, even if you risk your own life to protect them. That's why I love Hank as much as I do. A year ago, he was not afraid to risk his own life to protect me. I know he could have been killed but as police officers, we know it's our duty to protect each other and those around us."

"You know I'd do it again if I had to."

"I know you would."

"Not only is it my job to protect you as a fellow officer but it's also my job to protect you as your husband."

"You know I'd do the same thing for you."

"I know you would."

"I love you, Sergeant Voight."

"I love you too, Lieutenant Voight."

Hank kissed Olivia and then everyone who went on the hike had returned back to the hotel. Hank and Olivia were alone, so before Justin came back with the kids, they made love. Justin, Olive, Erin and Jay took the boys to the beach, so Olivia could stay off her foot. By the next day, Olivia was feeling better, so she and Hank had gone to the beach with Lexie and Noah. They got word from Chicago that Bradshaw and any of his 'friends' were behind bars for a very long time.

Their week in Hawaii seemed to go by quickly. Olivia chose not to see much of Elliot for the remainder of the trip because she wanted the trip to be all about her and her family. If they ran into each other, they were civil but she didn't make much of an effort. By the end of the week when everyone was getting ready to head back to their respective cities, Elliot and little Olivia had already gone but Olivia told the rest of the Stabler kids that she wanted to be a part of their lives again and they could come visit her in Chicago whenever they wanted. They all agreed. Elizabeth being the closest hoped to see her quite often but everyone else said they hoped to be visiting their sister soon, so they would definitely stop over for a visit. Olivia hugged the 3 Stabler kids as they all went their separate ways. The group headed to Chicago boarded their flight back to the freezing cold.

Stay tuned…
