A/N: I had every intention of posting this sooner but I was sick most of last week and am now starting to feel better. As always, I don't own any characters but my own.

Olivia woke up during the night, put some clothes on and went to the bathroom. Olive was feeding the twins when Olivia came out of the bedroom. She checked on the kids and noticed Adam and Kevin were asleep in the bunk beds in Noah's room. Hank heard her up and put some clothes on as well. He walked out of the bedroom and wrapped his arms around her waist as he kissed her neck.

"Hey, Sexy."

"Hey, yourself, Beautiful."

"Did I wake you?"

"Nah."

"I guess everyone stayed here last night. Adam and Kevin are asleep in the bunk beds in Noah's room."

"Then I'm guessing downstairs is completely trashed."

They went downstairs and went into the kitchen. Ed was up and cleaning.

"Oh, good grief! I knew you were a neat freak but this is ridiculous!"

"I don't mind. I'm doing your laundry too."

"Whatever is wrong with you is no little thing! Get help! I don't remember you being like this when we were together."

"It started during the investigation. I wasn't sleeping and right after we split, it got worse. I honestly think being in IAB was starting to get to me. Sometimes when I'm overtired, I can't sleep."

"Is this in any way my fault?"

"No. I've been better since I quit IAB. There is no one to blame for this but me. Tonight was just one of those nights where I was overtired. I don't sleep well when I'm not in my own bed."

"Maybe that explains you snoring so loud."

"Oh, probably."

"There were a few times when I wanted to smother you with a pillow because you were so loud."

"Hank doesn't snore?"

"He does. He's just not as annoying about it as you are. Noah even snores sometimes."

"You snore too."

"You got that right."

"I do not."

"I sleep with you every night. Trust me, you snore."

"I agree with him completely."

"You both lie through your teeth."

Trevor had woken up and joined them in the kitchen.

"Not sleeping either, Langan?"

"Nope."

"Who is snoring so loud in there?"

"Olinsky."

"That figures."

"Where did you find a place to crash?"

"On the floor in the family room."

Olivia's phone rang on the counter, so she went to answer it as Fin came upstairs.

"Uh oh! I bet we have a case."

As soon as Olivia was done talking, she hung up.

"Do we have a case?"

"No but that was the ER. Rollins was brought in with severe abdominal pains and she's going in for an emergency appendectomy. They took Jesse to the hospital with them but she can't stay there. Jesse and Frannie can stay here with us and then Amanda could probably stay here once she is out of the hospital unless Carisi can work out something with his mom."

"I don't have a problem with it. Rachel loves having her around."

"I'll go wake up Carisi."

"Thanks Fin."

Fin went downstairs to wake up Carisi.

"I don't really want to drive."

"I'll go with you. There are enough people here in case Noah and Rachel wake up."

"Ok. Thank you."

"No problem. You know I'd do anything for you."

"Yeah, I know. We should get dressed."

Hank and Olivia went upstairs to get dressed and came down just as Fin and Carisi had come up from the basement. Hank and Olivia left in one of their SUV's and Fin and Carisi left together. When they arrived at the hospital, they got out of their respective vehicles and went inside.

"Olivia."

"Debbie. Thanks for watching her until we got here."

"No problem. I'll let them know there is someone here for Detective Rollins."

"Thanks."

The 4 of them and Jesse went to the surgical waiting room and sat down.

"So, Liv, what are we gonna do now?"

"I don't know. The most I could get away with would be visiting victims at the hospital. Other than that, all I can do are interrogations and line ups."

"We'll figure something out, Liv. We always do. We held our own when you were off."

"I know."

"Babe, don't get so worked up about it. Just relax."

Hank put his arm around Olivia and then she put her head on his shoulder. He kissed her forehead and then she fell asleep.

"There are so many people in the NYPD against us since this stuff with Munson. She knows that Chief Dodds pretty much blames her for Mike's death. She did what she had to do. She knows and we know that Tucker could have investigated it. She expected him to and honestly, so did the 3 of us. There was a confrontation between Tucker and Chief Dodds not that long ago. Chief Dodds said Tucker should have done a full IAB investigation on Liv or if he couldn't do it for personal reasons, then someone else should have done it."

"He said he had no intentions of doing one since she didn't need it, especially from him."

"I will be the first to admit that I have never liked the man but that took guts not to investigate a cop for an incident, even though you know you should but you choose not to because you're in a relationship with that cop. I never realized the guy had feelings until then. Lately, we've been hanging out with him quite a bit and he's actually not so bad. I still wouldn't want him with Liv though. As long as I have known her, I don't think I have ever seen her as happy as she has been these last 9 months."

"She really seems happy now, Sarge."

"Yeah, we are really happy."

Olivia started dreaming and then she woke up in a hurry.

"You ok?"

"Just hold me."

Hank wrapped his arms tightly around Olivia.

"You going to tell me what happened?"

"It was about William Lewis. Sometimes that guy still manages to find his way into my head. I've been doing much better lately but I saw his face as plain as day."

"Liv, he can't hurt you anymore."

"Yeah, I know."

Then Chief Dodds came in.

"Lieutenant."

"Chief."

"Is Rollins ok?"

"We haven't heard anything yet."

"I wanted to apologize to you for the way I have been behaving lately. You were just doing your job when Mike got killed and really there is no one to blame for what happened than Gary Munson. If I could have switched places with Mike, I would have."

"I felt that way too. I wanted it to be me."

"Noah didn't deserve that. I just wish this pain I'm feeling would go away."

"I know the feeling. I start thinking about my son and the sadness just keeps coming. I notice it more during the night sometimes. Honestly, I didn't think I'd ever be able to sleep again after Justin's death. I know the person I became after his mother died 7 years ago and I didn't want to do that again."

"Did he want you to remarry?"

"He said he did and he also knew how I felt about Olivia. He said his mother told him that she didn't want me to be alone for the rest of my life."

"He sounded like he was a good kid."

"He was but he had his moments when I wasn't too proud of him. He really proved himself when he became a dad though. Justin was so proud of Daniel and I finally felt I could be proud of him. He was getting his act together in the Army."

"How old was he?"

"He would have been 24 in November. He had his entire life ahead of him. Now he has 2 more children, who won't know their father. I just wish Daniel had known him better. He really misses his dad though. I know I wasn't the best father to Justin but it still hurts when you're told he's not coming back. The last thing I expected to have to do was bury my son. I realize he could have been killed overseas because of the Army. He was helping his Army buddy's widow and ended up with a bullet in his head."

"I understand completely. Mike was my oldest and he knew I was proud of him. Sometimes I think I protected him too much though."

"He died a hero though."

"I know. I kind of wish he and Alice had already been married when he died. I really wanted grandchildren."

"What about Matt?"

"If he ever settles down but I don't think he will. Was Justin your only child?"

"Yeah. Now I have Noah of course. I want to be a better father to him and Rachel."

"How's that going?"

"So far, so good."

"She has fit into our family so well. She and Noah have become best friends and I love having a little girl. She and Daniel are pretty close too."

"Hopefully things will work out and she can become your daughter."

"Thanks Chief. I really wanted to have a child but it just wasn't meant to be."

"Babe, I told you, it doesn't matter to that we didn't have a baby together. What matters most is that we're a family and nothing or no one can ever change that. We're not always going to agree on everything but we can get through whatever life throws at us."

"I know. That's why I love you as much as I do."

"You helped me realize that I could love someone again. I didn't think it was possible to love anyone more than I loved Camille but I do. I know Noah isn't Justin but he comes pretty damn close to being able to fill the void that Justin's death left in my heart, just like you filled the void Camille's death left in my heart 6 years earlier."

"I love you, you know that, right?"

"Yes. I love you too."

Hank kissed Olivia and then they continued waiting for Amanda to get out of surgery.
