Olivia stood staring at herself in front of the mirror in her walk in closet. Her nerves were getting the best of her and she wasn't sure why. It wasn't like she's never done this before because she had, multiple times.

"Why are you freaking out?" Jay wondered as they drove.

"Because we're having dinner at Hank's house."

"Much like we've done before."

"But this is Thanksgiving."

"Again, we've done this before."

"And yet, I'm not capable of remembering those."

"Ah, so that's what this is about, you're nervous for our first thanksgiving."

"Technically it's not our first."

"Well it's or first as a couple, so it counts as a first."

"I guess you're right."

"I'm always right."

She shot him a look.

"Correction, I'm right sometimes, but you're usually always right."

Olivia laughed.

"Good cover."

Hank had invited the unit to his house for Thanksgiving dinner. Jay and Olivia had arrived at the same time as Antonio and Eva, and they were all the last to arrive. The house smelled wonderful, and made you feel warm and at ease. Upon saying their hellos, Hank gave Jay a beer and Olivia a glass of wine. Olivia made small talk with Hailey, Kim and Eva, but she still felt out of the loop almost as if she didn't fit in. Her eyes wondered around for Jay and when they made eye contact he gave her his beautiful heartwarming smile and she felt slightly better. They noshed on picky food and drinks while dinner continued to cook.

"Babe?" Jay called from the living room.

Olivia walked out of the kitchen to him.

"Yeah?"

"The Giants game is about to start. You wanna watch?"

Olivia looked around the room and all the guys, suddenly wondering if maybe she should just stay with the girls.

"You want me to?" She asked.

Jay noticed her hesitation.

"Get over here."

She smiled, poured more wine into her glass and got him another beer and sat next to him, resting against his side. His arm draped over her legs and his hand resting on her knee. After a bit the rest of the girls made their way to living room to watch the game as well. During halftime, Olivia helped Hank and the others put dinner on the table. She sat next to Jay, and Hank began to say grace.

"It's not often your work family becomes your real family. We're lucky enough to have it happen to us. Our family has gone through a lot this past year, between cases and personal lives. And we're lucky enough to all be sitting here, after everything we've been through, we're still here.' Jay squeezed Olivia's hand, 'I see all of you as my friends, but as my kids as well. At the end of the day, what matters, who matters, are the people sitting around this table. I am blessed, we are blessed to all be here in the moment."

Jay opened his eyes and gave Olivia a quick kiss. Olivia was lucky, and she realized it now more so than ever. How lucky had she had been to survived, to have this family that she had, to had fallen in love with her best friend, and it made her a bit emotional. Dinner was filled with laughs and work stories and pranks they pulled on each other, and it turned to Olivia.

"Olivia, how did you and Jay decide to date?" Eva asked.

"Uh.."

The question caught her off guard and Antonio scolded his daughter.

"No no, it's okay. It's strange really because for the first time in my life, this feels right."

"Yeah, but how'd it happen?"

Jay was starting to turn red.

"We were having dinner one night at Jay's place. There was a hockey game on the TV. The air felt different that night, if that makes any sense. Jay had been telling me about our past and memories and stories, and I just gave into this nagging feeling that I had since I showed up at his place after the accident. I caught him off guard and kissed him, and we knew that it would change everything that we had before, but we had to take that chance."

After dinner, Hank, Jay and the guys were out back, throwing axes at the planks of boards with targets on them, and having conversation.

"I gotta tell ya Jay,' Hanks said, 'You and Olivia remind me a lot of myself and Camille."

Jay felt honored at the comment.

"Thank you Hank, that means a lot to hear."

"She's a special girl."

"She is, and while I have you all out here and none of the girls are around, I'm gonna ask Olivia to marry me. I gotta get a ring and figure out a way to do it, but I'm gonna do it."

As if on cue, Kim opened the back door and called to them.

"Guys, coffee and dessert, let's go."

Olivia was braiding Eva's hair and taking silly snapchat pictures. And in that second, Jay knew how he would propose to her. She was laughing with Eva and Jay's felt time slow down. She was the one he knew he would spend the rest of his life with, there was no doubt about it.

After arriving home, they both changed and sat on the couch, both exhausted.

"I was watching you throw those axes at Hank's."

"Oh yeah?"

"Mhm, it was really fucking hot."

"That's hot I feel about everything you do."

She leaned up to kiss him.

"I realized today, I'm glad that we decided to give us a go."

"I am too."

"I love you Jay Halstead, more than you know."

"I love you just as much, and I swear to god, I'm gonna marry you one day."

Olivia let out a gasp.

"I can't wait for that day to happen."

That was all Jay needed to hear. Operation Olivia Halstead was officially a go.
