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

Everyone was still in the waiting room waiting to hear how Hank's surgery had gone. Commander Crowley had come in.

"Olivia, how's Hank?"

"He's still in surgery. He was hit in the same leg that he hurt almost a year ago."

"Well, I hope he'll be back on his feet soon."

"Yeah, I hope so too."

"This was delivered to me for him."

"Thanks."

"Detectives Dawson and Schmidt, these are for you too."

"Thank you, Ma'am."

"Are these the results of his Lieutenant's exam?"

"Yes. From what I heard, he had one of the highest scores."

"I'm so proud of him. I really pushed him on this. I know he'll be on desk duty once he returns to work but he has said he wants to cut back on being out in the field like I have."

"Well, I passed my Sergeant's exam, so he can."

"Congratulations, Antonio."

"Thanks."

"Congrats, Man."

"Thanks."

"I did too. Then what does this mean with two of us in SVU now Sergeants? Can I be transferred?"

"Not unless you want to."

"I don't want to. I love SVU."

"I may have played a part in that too because I wanted two Sergeants after what had happened on New Year's Day when Lisa and I were both off."

"That is a good reason for wanting two Sergeants. Hank did mention that he wants to cut back on being out in the field."

"I thought about wanting to stop working altogether once he became a Lieutenant, so I could stay home with the kids. I do love what I do except I get drained sometimes."

"Hank seems like he's starting to become drained with some of these cases."

"Yeah, he is. The cases that involve children are hard on him."

"That's understandable. I should get back. Let me know if there's anything you need."

"Thank you."

Commander Crowley left. Both Intelligence and SVU got calls, mostly everyone left except for the family after Jay kissed Erin and Lisa kissed Trevor. Trevor told Olivia he'd check in with her later and then he headed back to work. As he was headed to the car, he called Pauline to have her bring the kids to the hospital Olivia texted people in New York to let them know what was going on.

"We're going to go grab lunch. Do you want us to bring something back?"

"That's fine."

"Text me when you hear about Dad."

"I will."

Justin and Olive hugged both Olivia and Erin and then left. Erin put her head on Olivia's shoulder and fell asleep. Fin and Melinda came in.

"Hey, Liv."

"What are you two doing here?"

"I feel bad that I couldn't watch Lexie when you went to the game the other night because I had to work. Fin and I were planning on coming here this weekend anyway. I told him not to say anything because I wanted it to be a surprise. We were on our way to your house from the airport when we got your text. How is he?"

"He's in surgery. He was hit in the leg he injured about a year ago when I was in New York."

Then Pauline came in with the kids.

"Mommy, how's Daddy?"

"He's getting his leg fixed."

"Trevor called me and suggested bringing them here to cheer you up."

"That was nice of him. I'll have to thank him for that later."

Noah and Daniel kissed Olivia and then they went to play with the toys. Pauline handed Lexie to Olivia.

"Mama!"

"What pretty girl? Mommy missed you."

Olivia kissed Lexie.

"So, Liv, what's new since I last saw you yesterday?"

"Hank passed his Lieutenant's exam and had one of the highest scores. Antonio passed his Sergeant's exam and so did Kyle."

"That's great, so now what happens?"

"He wants to cut back on the amount of time he's out in the field, which is fine because I've done that myself. He'll be on desk duty once he goes back anyway."

"Yeah, true. How's your eye?"

"It still hurts but it looks worse than it really is."

"Good. That guy was killed in custody."

"I'm not too upset about that. If they were all dead, I'd be even happier. I heard from Kyle that Kevin and Liz were in an accident, so her parents and younger siblings are here."

"Well, I guess it's a good thing I'm here then."

"Especially with Hank out of commission. Although I do still have Justin and Jay."

"Are you talking about that Elliot guy from Hawaii?"

"Yeah."

"I like his son and he's really good with the boys. Why is he such a jerk?"

"Honestly, he didn't used to be that way. We were partners for 12 years and I trusted him with my life over both Ed and Trevor. When he killed a teenage girl in our Squad Room after she started shooting and killed several people, including a Nun, he couldn't handle things. He just up and put his papers in after talking with IAB. In this case, Ed. They never got along and none of us got along with Ed until the last couple years. I didn't hear from him for years and now all of a sudden he wants back in my life and tells me he's in love with me after I tell him I'm happily married? Did he not expect my husband to react the way he did when he pushed him down and kissed me in front of everyone? I take my marriage vows seriously. If I was even in love with him, which I wasn't, I could have done something about it when he had told me he and Kathy were separated. They separated and almost divorced but then she found out she was pregnant with their youngest son. I wouldn't have crossed the line with him at all. Yes, I cared for him but he was also my best friend. He could be a friend now but unless he respects that I'm with Hank and friends with Ed, then I won't even allow him to be my friend."

"That makes sense. Ed has done wonders for Margaret. That's all I can say."

"I'm glad they got together and I'm glad he and Jenna found each other after 25 years."

"Rita told me everything that poor girl went through her entire life. Ed should have known his daughter."

"Yeah, he should have. Hank found out just before Erin and Jay's wedding that this one was his after 32 years. He even asked her mother if the baby she was carrying was his and she said no. The DNA test was done and they matched. It doesn't change how they feel about each other. He ended up cheating on his first wife but she forgave him because he said it meant nothing to him. He also told her right away."

"It's good that she did."

"Yeah, it is."

Then a doctor came in.

"Mrs. Voight."

"Yes."

"Your husband is doing fine. He's out of surgery and he's in recovery right now. There was no significant damage to his leg but the ligament in his knee was nicked, so we repaired that. If everything goes well, he should be able to go home in a few days."

"Great. Can I see him?"

"Absolutely."

Olivia woke Erin up and told her what was going on. Erin said she would contact Justin. The doctor took Olivia to where Hank was but he was still asleep. She kissed Hank's forehead, pulled up the chair, sat down and took his hand.

"I love you. You got the results of your Lieutenant's exam and from what Commander Crowley said, you had one of the highest scores. I am so proud of you. I knew you could do it."

Hank opened his eyes.

"Hey."

"Hey, yourself. Lieutenant."

"What?"

"You got the results of your Lieutenant's exam back and Commander Crowley said you had one of the highest scores."

"I did?"

"Yep."

"Wow!"

Olivia kissed Hank.

"I am so proud of you."

"Thanks."

Olivia stayed with Hank in recovery until he was moved to a room. Justin and Olive had come back and then Erin went to eat. Justin went to stay with Hank while Olivia went to go eat. After Olivia left, Hank fell back to sleep and slept on and off for the rest of the day. The next day, he started rehabbing his knee and then in a few days, he was able to go home.
