A/N: I don't own any of the characters except my own.
"Everything ok, Fin?"
"Yeah. It's the results of my Sergeant's exam. I'm afraid to look."
"I don't know why you're so nervous. You didn't want to do this anyway."
"I realized I could use the money. I've just had a bad feeling about it ever since I took the exam."
"Do you want me to look?"
"Yeah."
Fin handed the letter to Olivia and she read through it.
"Well?"
"Well, Sergeant, you are officially my #2. Now I can retire."
"I passed?"
"Yep. Congratulations!"
"Thanks. You really gonna retire?"
"I will eventually."
"After you become Captain?"
"I never wanted to be a Lieutenant."
"What made you decide to take the exam?"
"IAB told me Brass didn't want a Sergeant running SVU. NYPD Brass is a bunch of sexist pigs anyway."
"I've noticed that."
"I'm glad there's a woman running IAB. It's a welcomed change."
"I agree. Does she know that he once arrested you for murder?"
"No."
"What! When was this?"
"Several years ago."
Olivia told Diana about when Ed arrested her. Diana looked at him and started shaking her head.
"Maybe you should have told me that before we started seeing each other."
"I'm surprised you didn't see it in my file, which I'm sure is pretty thick. He had some kind of vendetta against SVU for years."
"The two hotheads you were partners with, Elliot Stabler and Nick Amaro?"
"Exactly."
"Apparently I have this thing for hotheads. I was partnered with two of them and my last two relationships were with hotheads."
"You're a hothead?"
"I can be. I do have an Irish temper."
"My favorite hothead has been tamed."
"You got that right."
"And to think, all I had to do was threaten to arrest you."
"Yep. It took us a while though."
"I know and that's my fault. I don't regret my relationship with Ed. It made me see another side of him but I know my heart wasn't 100% in it. I'm hoping things work out for him and Diana though."
"I think we're doing ok so far."
"I do too."
"You're probably the only person who can keep him in line."
"Oh, probably. You've done a great job at keeping this guy in line."
"She can keep me in line anytime she wants. I should head home and see what trouble Noah, Rachel and Erin have gotten themselves into. Congratulations Fin."
"Thanks."
"I'll come too."
"Ok."
"Congratulations Tutuola."
"Thanks."
Hank kissed Olivia and then he and Ed left.
"Is everyone at the hotel?"
"Yep."
"Good."
"Can you help me plan something for Ed since you know him a little better that I do?"
"Sure."
"I just want it to be special."
"That's all I want for Hank's too. I still feel like I have so much to make up for with him. I never would have forgiven myself if he hadn't forgiven me. I love him so much. I blame myself for losing our baby."
"At this point, I'm guessing he doesn't care about that."
"He said he doesn't but I would have loved to have given him another child to fill the void Justin left in his heart."
"I can understand that. I was scared when I was pregnant with Kara. It was my choice to have a baby and she's my entire life. Even though Noah and Rachel aren't yours biologically, they are still your children. I think any child would fill that void in Hank's heart. That child does not have to be a part of both of you in order for it to fill that void. As long as you both love that child and/or children, it shouldn't matter."
"I know. I just wanted to experience it once."
"Both Noah and Rachel are lucky to have you for a mom. I know Hank loves those two. Hank is lucky to have you in his life. I'm lucky to have you as my sister."
"I'm pretty lucky too. I'm glad our DNA matched."
"So am I."
"Liv, Tucker could end up being your brother-in-law."
"I know. I'm fine with that."
Fin went back to his desk.
"What does Ed like?"
"He loves sports."
"Is there anywhere he'd like to go?"
"Before we broke up, he invited me to go to Paris with him. It's always been some place I've wanted to go."
"If I can arrange something for this summer, would you, Hank and the kids like to go with us?"
"I'd have to talk to Hank about it. I'd be ok with it though."
"Do you think Hank would have a problem with going?"
"I don't know. He gets jealous if I bring up Ed's invitation sometimes. I would love nothing more than to go to Paris with my husband and children."
"I should probably get back."
"Ok. I'll see you at the house later."
"Ok."
Diana left and headed back to her office. After work, Olivia, Diana, Fin and Carisi headed to the house. When Olivia got home, she parked in the garage and went inside.
"Honey, I need to talk to you."
"Ok."
"Upstairs."
"Yes Ma'am."
Hank followed Olivia up to the bedroom and they shut the door.
"What's going on?"
"I was talking to Diana after you and Ed left. She wants to plan a trip to Paris and she wants to include us. Would you be interested in going?"
"When is she planning to do this?"
"Sometime this summer."
"This is part of Ed's birthday?"
"Yes. She wants it to be a surprise. This would also include Noah and Rachel."
"I think it would be ok."
"Good."
Olivia kissed Hank and then they went back downstairs. Diana, Fin and Carisi were there.
"Diana, can I get you anything to drink?"
"Sure. A soda or something is fine."
"Ok."
Olivia got Diana something to drink.
"We're fine. Thanks for askin', Liv."
"You two know where everything is."
"Trevor called. He can't make it since he is working on something. Rafael remembered that he was supposed to have dinner with his mother, so it's just the 4 of us and Halstead tonight."
Everyone ate dinner and then they did their usual thing. After everyone left, everyone went up to bed. The next morning, mostly everyone got up, had breakfast, got ready and left before Hank had even woken up. Olivia knew they were gone, so she took some breakfast up to Hank. She kissed him to wake him up.
"Hey."
"Good morning, my love. Happy birthday!"
"Thank you."
"I brought you some breakfast."
"That was sweet of you. Are you going to join me?"
"Of course I am."
The two of them had breakfast and then they started kissing. Olivia went to lock the door and then she went back over to the bed. She and Hank continued kissing, undressed each other and made love. Afterwards Hank had his arms around her and she had her head on his chest.
"Is that my birthday present?"
"Part of it."
"It's been a long time since I have gotten a present like that."
"If you're up for it, we can do this all day."
"How could I refuse that? I haven't had much reason to celebrate my birthday the last several years. Camille has been gone 7 and she was sick a couple years before that. I am just so grateful that I didn't have to go through that with you. I don't ever want to lose you especially to that horrible disease."
"I won't lie. I was scared too but I think it was your love for me that got me through it. I could not imagine my life without you in it."
"I could not imagine my life without you in it either."
They started kissing and made love again. After spending pretty much the entire day in bed, they got up to get ready for dinner. Just before they left, Olivia texted Erin to let her know they were leaving and then she let her know when they arrived. They walked into the restaurant.
"May I help you?"
"We have a reservation for Voight."
"Right this way."
The Hostess took them to the room where everyone was.
"SURPRISE!"
"Did you do all this?"
"Guilty! Are you going to arrest me?"
"No. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Hank kissed Olivia and wrapped his arms around her.
"I love you."
"I love you too. I knew you wouldn't be mad at me for this especially after earlier."
"You're right about that."
"What happened earlier?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
Erin gave Hank and big hug and then Olinsky came over to them.
"Happy birthday, Man!"
"Thanks. Did you help with this?"
"Nope. Your girls did all of it."
"This one looks guilty but she's the love of my life."
Hank wrapped his arms around Olivia's waist.
"I look guilty?"
"Yep."
"I just wanted to make your day special."
"You did."
Hank kissed her cheek and neck. Noah and Rachel came over to them.
"Happy birthday, Daddy!"
"Thank you."
Everyone else from Chicago came over to see them. Trevor came in and found them right away.
"Sorry I'm late. Happy birthday, Hank!"
"Thanks."
"I have something for the two of you."
Trevor handed them the envelope. Olivia opened it.
"Oh, my goodness!"
"What?"
"She's ours. We have a daughter!"
Olivia had tears running down her cheeks.
"She's ours?"
"Yep. Come here, Sweetheart."
Olivia picked up Rachel and gave her a big hug.
"Is Rachel my sister yet?"
"Yes, Baby. She is."
"Yay!"
"This just made my day even better."
"How did you manage to get this done sooner than anticipated?"
"I had to pull some strings with Judge Linden but I explained that you were going to be gone on the date she was eligible for adoption. She didn't see a problem with it and gave you her blessing. She wants to meet with the four of you first thing on Monday though."
"Thank you so much."
"No problem."
Olive came over."
"Hey."
"Hey. Welcome to the family, Rachel."
Rachel smiled at Olive and gave her a hug.
"Love you, Mommy. Love you, Daddy."
"We love you too, Baby Girl."
Hank picked up Noah.
"You too, Little Man."
"Love you, daddy."
Olive's parents came over.
"Happy birthday, Hank!"
Thank you."
"Mom and Dad, this is Trevor Langan, a friend of the family. Trevor, these are my parents, Dan and Nicole Morgan."
"It's nice to meet you both."
"You too."
Daniel wandered off from Lucy and went over to them.
"Papa! Gama!"
"Hey! Babe, do you want anything to drink?"
"Red wine please."
Hank put Noah down and was headed over to the bar when Ed came over with a beer for him and Diana brought Olivia a glass of wine.
"Thanks."
"No problem."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Olivia put Rachel down.
"Mommy, I'm hungry."
"Me too."
"We should be eating soon."
Hank and Ed went to see the group from Chicago.
"Hank said Paris was fine."
"Good. Kara was excited about it. Hopefully I can get her here for Ed's party, which I am planning to have on the 22nd. You're back by then, right?"
"Yes. We're back the Sunday before. Maybe you should just have it at our house."
"I'll take that into consideration. Thanks."
"Sure."
Rafael came in with Lucia.
"Hey, Liv."
"Hey. Lucia, it's good to see you."
"You too, Olivia."
Hank came over to them.
"Happy birthday!"
"Thank you."
"This is my mother, Lucia. This is Liv's husband, Hank Voight."
"Nice to meet you."
"You too."
"How long ago did you get married?"
"On the 9th, it'll be 4 months."
"Congratulations!"
"Thank you."
"You had surgery recently, right?"
"Yes. Almost 3 months ago."
"What kind was it again?"
"I had a hysterectomy. I had cysts on both ovaries but everything was fine."
"Rafi did tell me that and I prayed for you."
"Thank you. I appreciate that."
Rachel let out a scream. Lucy picked her up and brought her over to Olivia and Hank.
"What happened?"
"Noah knocked into her and she bumped her head on the table."
"Come here."
Hank took her from Lucy and she had her thumb in her mouth.
"Daddy's got you. Where does it hurt?"
Rachel pointed to where she bumped her head and Hank kissed it.
"Did Daddy make it feel better?"
"Yeah. Mommy kiss too."
Olivia kissed Rachel's head and then Noah came over to them.
"Sorry Rachel."
"Ok."
Everyone went to sit down, so they could start serving the food. After dinner and after they sang 'Happy Birthday' to Hank and ate cake, Lucy, Dan and Nicole took the kids back to the house to put them to bed. After the party broke up, everyone went home.
"Did you have a good time?"
"You bet I did. Thank you so much for today."
"You're welcome."
"I'm glad you did this."
"I wanted you to have a good birthday."
"I did. It was the best birthday I've had in a long time."
"Good."
Once everyone arrived back at the house, Lucy went home and Dan and Nicole went back to their hotel. Everyone went to get ready for bed. Hank and Olivia got into bed and kissed each other goodnight before falling asleep in each other's arms. The next day, the people from out of town went home and that included Erin. During the next week, they got ready for their trips to Chicago and LA.
