A/N: I don't own any of the characters except my own.
The Voights and Langans arrived in New York and went to the hotel. They got checked in and then everyone went to the Precinct. Everyone was there.
"Hello, everyone."
"Hey, Liv."
Olivia poked her head into Michelle's office.
"So, do you know what you're having yet?"
"Yep. We're having a girl and we're naming her Lucie Olivia. I wanted to name her after Lucia and he wanted to name her after his best friend, so we came up with this name. Lucia is absolutely thrilled that her granddaughter is being named after her."
"I'm honored that Rafael wanted to name her after me but you don't have to."
"To be honest, Olivia has always been one of my favorite girl's names. If Kevin had been a girl, it would have been Olivia Michelle."
"When I talked to Justin about Hank's parents, I decided I liked either name for our kids. His mother was Alexandra and his dad was Richard. I was thinking that if we were having a boy, I'd want him to be named Richard. I never knew my father and he raped my mother anyway."
"Which is why you went into the line of work you're in."
"Yep. Not that I had the best relationship with my mother but I want to be able to make a difference. She respected me a little more after I became a cop."
"I know that feeling about wanting to make a difference. I had a friend who was raped by her ex-boyfriend and of course he denied it as they always do. He went to trial but ended up getting off because of his sleazy Defense Attorney. He and his friends started harassing her after that and that drove her to committing suicide. They'd call her every name in the book and I think he even raped her again. I knew I had always wanted to be a cop but I decided I wanted to deal with sexual assaults after what happened to her. I've dedicated my entire career to her."
"Good for you."
"When I interviewed for this job, they told me that I had some pretty big shoes to fill."
"Let me guess, that didn't come from Chief Dodds."
"Actually, it did."
"He was telling the squad that I'd end up regretting leaving here. So far, I haven't."
"Good. How's your son?"
"He's fine. He's not happy that he has a cast on though."
"But they still manage to do most of what they want."
"He hates that he can't go swimming but he sits in the water on the stairs. How's Kevin?"
"He's doing great. He's really excited about getting a sister. He's looking forward to going to the game tomorrow night."
"Does he prefer one team over the other?"
"Actually, even though we have never lived in Chicago, he is a huge Cubs fan. He's always been like that though. We've lived in Dallas until last year and the team there is the Texas Rangers. He even likes the Blackhawks, Bulls and Bears over the Stars, Mavericks and Cowboys. He would love to go to a Cubs game at Wrigley Field one day."
"My unit and Hank's unit are going to the Cubs-Sox game on July 25th and everyone is allowed to bring their families. If you can get him to Chicago, he's more than welcome to come with us. Trevor and I are both completely outnumbered. We are the only New York fans.
"Is Lisa with you?"
"Yes."
Olivia got Lisa's attention and then she joined her in Michelle's office.
"What's going on?"
Olivia was telling me about the baseball game in July. Kevin is a huge Cubs fan, so she said if I can get him to Chicago, he could go. He's been wanting to go out there but because of his surgery, he couldn't. He had a great time with your sister's oldest and wants to stay longer like maybe a week. Would he be able to stay with you or Sarah if he comes out? I still need to talk to Rafael about it. I don't expect Maggie and Ed to take the time to bring him out there and most days, getting Rafael to take any time off is like pulling teeth. I'm lucky if he remembers my doctor's appointments."
"Hank missed one and it was the one when I had the amniocentesis. I was so mad at him. He and the squad had a last minute meeting with the Commander and he didn't have time to call me and tell me he wasn't coming."
"I get like that with Rafael sometimes. I get he has meetings and court but I have to work around my schedule and not just his."
"Is everything ok with you two?"
"Yeah. He's just stubborn. Lucia understands why I get so frustrated with him sometimes. If he calls and says he can't make it, I call her and she goes with me. Then we have lunch together. She usually ends up giving him an earful later about canceling at the last minute. She always tells him that these appointments are very important. She usually yells at him in Spanish. It's good to have someone on my side."
"Actually, that shouldn't be a problem. Sarah and her family will be out here next week sometime, so I'll mention it to her. He should be able to spend time with his cousins."
"How long are they here for?"
"Just a few days. They're visiting with the aunts and uncles and then they are taking the train to DC. They're spending the rest of the time there visiting all the sights and taking in a Cubs game."
"You have cousins there too, right?"
"Yeah but they aren't planning to see them at all. I hear they're in town."
"That's what Maggie said. Kevin and I haven't met any of them yet."
"Tracy lives in Baltimore and is always bragging about her husband, who is a doctor at Johns Hopkins and their 4 perfect children. Honestly, I think they're brats. My sister's boys are more behaved than her boys are. My kids behave better and they're a lot younger. She thinks her husband is so brilliant because he's a surgeon at Johns Hopkins. Big deal. My dad is Chief Surgeon at Northwestern. They never came to Gram's funeral because they couldn't possibly pull their kids out of school. Jen is in DC and her husband is a doctor at Walter Reed. They also have 4 kids. PJ is the youngest of my aunt and uncle's 3 kids and the only one I tolerate. He doesn't look down on the rest of us like his sisters do. They don't work and criticize me because I do. Well, excuse me, I had to raise my daughter. My sister doesn't work but doesn't treat me like shit the way my cousins do. They treat everyone like that though, even their aunts. PJ was the only one that came to Gram's funeral. I love my aunt and uncle more than anything. This has nothing to do with how my aunt raised them. The girls just think they're better than everyone else."
"Didn't Trevor graduate at the top of his class at Yale?"
"Exactly.
"Maggie isn't looking forward to seeing them either."
"How long has it been since you have seen them?"
"Honestly, I think at Kevin's Memorial. I need to go have a few words with my late cousin. He hated them as much as I did."
"Do you go to the Memorial and talk to him?"
"Yeah. Stupid, right?"
"Not at all. I do it all the time. Right before Rafael adopted Kevin, which is now final, he wanted to ask his dad if it was ok. He didn't even know his dad."
"Hank talks to Camille at her grave all the time and so does Justin."
"Does it bother you?"
"No. The two of them and Erin went to her grave and left flowers for Mother's Day before we left for Florida. It's only right. I don't expect them not to remember her on special occasions like Mother's Day and her birthday."
Lisa went to tell Trevor that she was headed to the 9/11 Memorial, so he and the kids decided to go with her. When they arrived, Lisa found Kevin's name on the fountain, while Trevor and the kids walked around. Lisa ran her fingers over the letters of his name.
"Hey, Kev. I miss you like crazy. Guess who's coming to visit Aunt Ellen and Uncle Paul. I'm not ready to see them. I haven't seen them since the Memorial your mom had for you and as usual, it's all about them. I wish you could have been here to meet Trevor and our family. He is so different than Emily's real father. We knew each other a few months and got married soon after that. He loves Em so much. We adopted Adam and Tyler, the twin sons of my best friend and her husband after they were killed in a car accident and we have our own twins, Rebecca and Charlotte. It's good to see your mom so happy. She met, fell in love with and married a great guy."
Lisa's aunts and cousins walked over to where she was. Her cousins all hugged her. All four of them had tears in their eyes
"Hey, Kevin. This is just weird to be here like this. Lise, listen, I wanted to apologize for everything. I never should have acted the way I have towards you. I've been wanting to say this for years. After Kevin was killed, I started seeing how I really was. Kent and the boys were the ones that pointed it out. I know I should have cleared the air between us sooner. I really don't think I'm better than everyone else and I never have."
"Me neither. Can you forgive me too?"
"Yeah."
"She never had a problem with me. I'm the good one."
"Nope. Where are Kent, Shawn and the kids?"
The kids are with Dad and the guys made a trip to Chicago. They both had interviews at different hospitals. Mom may have planted the bug in Kent's ear that Uncle Steve needs more surgeons. He's interviewing with Uncle Steve and Shawn is interviewing at Chicago Med."
"Maybe that's why Mom and Dad couldn't come out here because Dad has interviews."
"Is Sarah here?"
"No. They're coming out next week for a few days and then heading to DC by train. I think they are going to the Cubs-Nats game on Monday."
"Actually, so are we."
"Aunt Maggie, where are the boys?"
"They're over there with Trevor and the kids.
"That's your husband?"
"Yep."
"He's nice looking. How'd you meet him?"
"He is Greg's best friend from college and Law School and apparently we met at their wedding but neither of us remembers that. I was probably too busy drinking with Kevin and PJ. I had come here last year to see the aunts and Uncle Paul and met my soon to be Lieutenant. Trevor was her attorney and was in her office. We met and fell hopelessly in love with each other. We were engaged for a week and we got married, which was a year in May."
Trevor came over with the kids.
Tracy and Jen, this is my husband, Trevor Langan. This is Adam, Tyler, Emily, Becca and Charlotte. Em is mine. Her father and I were engaged and he kept putting off getting married. It turned out he cheated on me. He died in a car accident before I could tell him about the baby. Trevor adopted her after we got married. Adam and Tyler lost their parents a year ago and they wanted me to take the boys if something ever happened to them, so Trevor and I adopted them together. These two were born on Halloween. These are my cousins, Tracy, Jen and PJ."
"It's nice to meet you."
"You too. I take it he moved to Chicago?"
"Yes. Greg offered him a job in his firm, so they are partners now. He had his own firm here but sold it to his partner when he left."
"Ok."
"There might be a possibility of them moving to Chicago. Tracy's husband is out there interviewing with Dad and Jen's husband is interviewing at Med."
"My dad is at doctor at Northwestern. My parents moved out there to be closer to me and my family."
"Do you have siblings?"
"Yeah, I have a younger brother. He and his wife have 4 kids. They live in Hartford. My mom seems to have taken over taking care of the kids."
"How's your job, Lise?"
"It's going good. As of last year, I'm now a Sergeant."
"Wow! Do you ever get scared that you'll end up like Pop?"
"All the time. A couple months ago, I had an incident with a perp. He took me and wanted to rape me. He was a copycat from a case that was here in New York a few years earlier that involved my Lieutenant."
"The same guy?"
"No. The guy that assaulted my Lieutenant killed himself. Her husband is also a cop and his squad was working on the case with ours. She wanted him to be in charge since she couldn't deal with the case because of what had happened to her. Trevor called Olivia and asked if she had heard from me. She said no. They were here for the weekend and Hank and our Assistant State's Attorneys were starting to get the files on the case here, including Olivia's file from IAB. Olivia knew the guy had me, so they headed back to Chicago, with one of the guys Olivia used to work with here and of course, Uncle Ed."
"So, Uncle Ed is a cop?"
"Didn't I mention that?"
"No, Aunt Maggie. You didn't. I thought you weren't going to get involved with someone who was a cop or firefighter after what happened to Pop and Kevin."
"Yeah, I know."
"Nana."
"What?"
"Is Kevin coming to play with us today?"
"He is but he's with Mrs. Barba today."
"Have you three met Kevin yet?"
"Not yet."
Ed was out walking and the boys saw him.
"Papa!"
"Hey, guys. Are you two behaving?"
"We're always good."
"Uh huh."
"Uncle Ed!"
Emily and the boys ran up to Ed and gave him a hug.
"Hey, you three."
"These are my nieces, Tracy and Jennifer and my nephew, PJ. This is your Uncle Ed."
"Nice to meet you."
"You too. Lisa, are Olivia, Hank and the kids here?"
"Yeah. They were still at the Precinct when we left."
"Well, guys, we need to head home. Mommy is going to call soon and you two need a nap."
"No."
"Guys, don't talk back to your grandma."
"Sorry, Nana."
"It's ok. We'll see all of you later I guess."
"Ok."
Maggie went to hug Lisa.
"Stop over."
"We will."
Maggie and Ed took the boys to her SUV and once they got them strapped in, she kissed Ed and headed home, while he headed over to the 16th. When he arrived, Olivia, Hank and the kids were still there and Rafael was also there.
"Hey."
"Hey. Lisa said you were here when she left, so I came to see if you were still here."
"Yeah, we're still here. The kids fell asleep."
"I'm ready to retire."
"That good, huh?"
"I've had enough of Hostage Negotiation."
"Would you go back to IAB?"
"Hell no!"
"Does Maggie want you to retire?"
"She does. She wants to do more together. We were talking about eventually moving to Chicago to be closer to Pauline and the girls but we can't with the boys. I'm the only family Jenna has and Richard's closest family is Philadelphia. We love the boys but Maggie is with them all day and sometimes they drive her nuts. They're not even her grandkids. I admit that I spend a lot of time with Kevin and he's technically not my grandson but he's a good kid."
"He loves spending time with you. We both want you and Maggie to be grandparents to Lucie. Lucia wants to share her granddaughter with you two because you're sharing Kevin with her."
"We appreciate that. You two live with your grandson. Does he drive you nuts?"
"Not at all. Noah is starting to drive us nuts because we tell him not to leave the door to the nursery or gate open at the top of the stairs and he does anyway. She's crawling more now, so we really have to watch her. Alyssa wants to come back possibly by the beginning of August but her mother may be coming with her for a while. If she can't Pauline said she could come over. We don't expect her to be climbing the stairs and chasing after the baby. Rita and Joe are gone the week of Father's Day, so we won't have Pauline then."
"Justin is taking off that week. Trevor is by himself with Greg taking a couple weeks off, so he needs Olive there."
"I would have taken off."
"We need to get away just us though."
"That sounds wonderful. That would be nice if you and Maggie could get away without having to deal with the boys."
"That's what we're hoping for. Jenna knows I'm thinking about retiring and I'm leaning towards the end of August. I just need to file the paperwork. Richard told me that his dad was thinking about coming back to New York but his main concern was not seeing the two youngest. I have a feeling that they are going to come back from their honeymoon pregnant of she's not already."
Then Michelle started laughing.
"What?"
"If she does, she'll be the 3rd one. Amanda and Sonny are expecting, so then Fin and Sonny are the only ones that can go out in the field."
"How long has Amanda known?"
"She found out after she got back from the Chicago."
"That's amazing. There must be something in the water."
"Last year it was in Chicago."
"That's for sure. We should go."
"Ok. I'm sure we'll talk later."
"I'm sure we will."
Ed took Lexie, so Olivia could get up and then he handed her back to Olivia. She and Hank left with the kids and went back to the hotel. After they woke up, they went to the pool. They made arrangements to have dinner with Don and Munch.
Stay tuned…
