Once they arrived in LA and got to the hotel, they relaxed by the pool for a while. Olivia had called Nick when they arrived to let him know they were there and where they were staying. He decided to come visit them. He tried the room but when he got no answer, he checked the pool.

"Liv."

"Nick, hey!"

Olivia and Hank got out of the pool with the kids and Olivia gave Nick a hug.

"This can't be Noah."

"Yep. It is. Noah, do you remember Uncle Nick?"

Noah nodded his head.

"This is Rachel, our newly adopted daughter."

"Hi Rachel."

"Hi."

"Voight."

"Amaro."

"Rollins, Fin and Carisi all said to say hi."

"Tell them I said hi back."

"I will. Were you able to get both Gil and Zara this weekend?"

"Yeah. They will be there for dinner and we'll be going with you to Disneyland on Saturday. My mom is looking forward to seeing you and Noah. I can't get over how big he's getting."

"Neither can I."

"Daddy, play."

"Ok."

"Me too, Daddy."

Hank kissed Olivia and took the kids back into the water.

"You've obviously changed him."

"Yep. He's definitely not the same guy that interrupted the interrogation and I had to threaten to arrest. I don't think I could have been this happy with just anyone. I should have told him how I felt about him sooner."

"He and Tucker get along pretty well?"

"They do. Ed recently started seeing my half-sister, Diana, after we got back from Chicago when we looked for Erin. We stopped in Chicago because I got Hank 4 tickets for the Home Opener for the Cubs last night, which he was going to take Noah to and I was going to go and so was my niece, Kara. Kara ended up needing to have an appendectomy, so I stayed with her until Diana and Ed got there and Hank took Jay Halstead and Al Olinsky with him and Noah. Erin watched Rachel."

"How's Erin doing?"

"She's doing better. She hates being on desk duty. She and Jay Halstead are expecting a baby and they are planning to get married sometime in June."

"Are they going to have a big wedding?"

"No. They're going to go to the Courthouse. They want us, Hank's daughter-in-law, Olive, the 5 kids and Jay's brother, Will there. Hank told them to think about where they want to go on their honeymoon and we'll pay for it."

"Did you two have a honeymoon?"

"We did. We went on a cruise for 10 days. It was earlier this year. We got back just before my surgery."

"How long have you had Rachel?"

"About 3 months. No one claimed her, so Miss Jackson said she could be adopted after 90 days, which is tomorrow. Trevor knew we were going to be gone, so he talked to Judge Linden and she allowed us to adopt her before the 90 days was up. This trip is for Hank's birthday and our first vacation as a family. The tickets for the game last night were from his family, including Erin and Jay."

"I'm guessing those tickets were not easy to get."

"No. Erin was the one that went to get them. I want to go to at least one Cubs vs. Mets game this year. They play in New York in mid June and they play in Chicago in mid September."

"You'd be better off trying to get tickets when they play in New York."

"That's what I was thinking. I might see if Diana wants to go in with me and she can take Ed and Kara."

"Is Tucker good with kids?"

"Actually, he is. He's the one that got Noah into sports but Noah likes the Chicago teams. Ed said it's a little easier dealing with a 10-year old girl than a 2-year old boy. Kara loves watching sports. Amanda's daughter, Jesse, likes Ed."

"Who's the father?"

"Declan Murphy."

"What!"

"I wasn't expecting that either. He was killed doing undercover work but Jesse calls Carisi 'Dada'."

"I can't believe she'd get involved with either of them."

"As annoying as Carisi used to be, he's a great guy and he has such a big heart. He really stepped up after you left. He took the Bar exam and passed but he decided to continue being a cop. Fin is a Sergeant now."

"Wow! I remember when he said he didn't want it."

"I finally got him to take it. He takes his job seriously and always has. I do miss Captain Cragen and Munch and of course I miss you too."

"Do you miss the partner you had before me?"

"Sometimes but like I told you at the party I had when I adopted Noah, you allowed me to grow as a person and you made it possible for Noah and me to be a family. Tucker was supportive of that too. I told him that me wanting to adopt Noah had nothing to do with Johnny D's trial. I just wanted to get justice for those girls."

"I know you did."

"Parenting is so much easier when there's two of us. Rachel has Hank wrapped around her little finger."

"Does Noah like having a sister?"

"Definitely. They both love each other so much."

Hank put Rachel on the edge of the pool, so she could go over to Olivia.

"Mommy."

"What, Baby Girl?"

"Potty."

"Ok. We'll be right back."

"Ok."

Olivia got up and took Rachel to the washroom. Hank got out of the water with Noah and went to sit by Nick.

"How've you been, Amaro?"

"Not too bad. I'm glad Liv is so happy. I just don't know that I could have handled her being in a relationship with Tucker. It was always obvious to me that she felt something for you."

"I felt something for her the moment we met. After my first wife died, I wasn't sure I wanted to fall in love again. The first half of last year I wanted to forget ever happened. Yates escaped from prison and ended up in Chicago. Olivia came to Chicago and after the case was over, I admitted to her that I had feelings for her. She told me she was in a relationship with someone else. Then my son was murdered and really wanted revenge on the guy that killed him."

"What stopped you?"

"Not being there for my grandson. I've also never been good at showing my emotions after Camille's death. Olivia told me that it doesn't make me any less of a man if I show my emotions. I don't want to let her or the kids down. I think my job was starting to get to me. Sure, I worry about her but I'm glad her squad looks out for her. When we found Erin after she was missing, Olivia was starting to remember the stuff that Lewis idiot did to her and ran out of the house. When I went after her, Ed has his arms around her. I know he still cares about her."

"If I hadn't left, there's no way I would had let her be in a relationship with that guy."

"When she first told me he wanted to meet me, I thought it was a little awkward but we've gotten to be good friends. When she had the miscarriage, she chose to go through it alone. I told her I could have come to New York to be with her. I told Ed I would have been fine if he was there with her since I was in Chicago."

"Whether she is or not, she always says she's fine."

"Yep."

"Tucker does seem different now."

"It took her a while to admit she felt something for me."

Then Olivia and Rachel came back.

"Did you miss us?"

"Of course."

Olivia kissed Hank and sat down next to him.

"I called to see how Kara was."

"How is she?"

"She's doing fine."

"Good."

"Are you planning any trips this summer?"

"Diana is arranging a trip to Paris this summer. She's going to surprise Ed with it for his birthday. He almost took Noah and me last year but that's when I told him I had feelings for someone else. He told me to figure it out and we're still great friends despite the break up."

"You're all going?"

"Yep."

"When we see Mickey?"

"Tomorrow."

"Do you want to meet somewhere for dinner?"

"Sure."

"Ok. I'll call you in a little while."

"Ok. You know the area, so you pick the place."

"Ok. My mom is looking forward to seeing you."

"I'm looking forward to seeing her too."

Nick hugged Olivia and kissed her cheek before he left. The 4 of them went back into the pool before they went back up to the room. Olivia went to take a shower, while Hank changed the kids out of their swimsuits. Once Olivia was out of the shower, Hank went to take one. Nick called Olivia and told her he picked a place for them to meet him and his mother. Nick and his mother got there before Hank, Olivia and the kids did. They got out of their SUV and walked over to Nick and his mom, who were waiting for them at the entrance to the restaurant.

"Hello, Olivia."

"Hi Mrs. Amaro."

"Please, call me Cesaria. This can't be Noah."

"Yep. It is."

"He's getting so big."

"Yes, he is. This is my husband, Hank Voight and this is our newly adopted daughter, Rachel. Hank, this is Nick's mom, Cesaria."

"Nice to meet you, Hank."

"You too, Ma'am."

"Hi Rachel."

"Hi."

Rachel hid in Hank's neck.

"She's being shy."

They went in, got their table and sat down. They looked at the menu and had their order taken.

"So, how's SVU?"

"Crazy as always. One day last week, we got a call at 3 in the morning, which is normal but I didn't get home until after 10 that night."

"Oh, wow! That was a long day."

"Yeah. I didn't see my babies at all that day. That really bothers me. Do you remember Officer Harrison?"

"Yeah."

"He's our next door neighbor and he took his Detective's exam. He found out he passed and he wants to work in SVU. He's working with them this week with me gone. I want to cut back on my case load."

"So like Cragen?"

"Right. I'll go to the hospital, do interrogations and go to court but I need to get my priorities straight. It's more important for me to be with my family."

"Voight, what are you doing in your retirement?"

"I always have projects around the house."

"He's a great cook. We're looking forward to getting the pool ready for summer. He's already done some barbequing when the weather is nice. Considering that we have 5 kids under the age of 5 living in our house, it's pretty clean. They have the playroom and their bedrooms. The only other place they can take their toys is the family room."

"Do they stick to that?"

"Sometimes."

Hank's phone rang, so he took the call.

"Hey, Erin. Everything ok?"

"You have some explaining to do."

"About what?"

"Don't play dumb with me. That idiot I thought was my father is not my father."

"Says who?"

"Jay had a DNA test run. It's not a match with mine."

"Can we talk about this later?"

"No. We need to talk about this now."

"Now isn't a good time."

"Make it a good time. I need to know the truth and I need to know now! Did you sleep with Bunny?"

"Yes. I was young and stupid. I didn't know you were mine though. I swear to you. I asked her and she said you were Jimmy's."

"Jay said he also sent something of yours just to be funny and it came back as a match. Did Camille know it happened?"

"No. It happened before I met her. We still have one hurdle to get through and that may not be easy."

"Do you think Liv is going to be pissed?"

"Oh, more than likely."

"I'll talk to you soon, I hope."

"Oh, probably. If things don't go well, you're going to have another house guest."

"You're funny."

"I'm serious."

Hank hung up the phone.

"Are you ok?"

"Not really."

"Was that Erin? Did something happen to the baby?"

"Yes, that was Erin and as far as I know, the baby is fine. I need some air. Excuse me."

Hank got up and went outside.

"Stay with Nick, you two."

"Ok."

Olivia got up and went to find Hank. He had found somewhere to sit down. He ran his fingers through his hair and put his hands over his face. Olivia found him, sat down next to him and put her arms around him.

"Talk to me."

"I want to but I'm not sure I can. I guess I need to get this over with and deal with the consequences later. When I was young and stupid and before I met Camille, I slept with Bunny. When I asked her if the kid she was carrying was mine, she said no. I turns out, she lied about that. Jay had the DNA tested and Erin's didn't match Jimmy's. Apparently, he decided to run mine and it was a match. Erin is my kid. I'll understand if you're pissed."

"Does it change how you feel about her?"

"No."

"It doesn't change how I feel about her either. Honestly, I always thought you two had more of a bond than just her being like a daughter to you, so I'm not surprised. If it was something that happened now and you ended up cheating on me, I'd be upset. Technically, you didn't cheat on Camille either, since it happened before you were with her. You have nothing to feel guilty about because it happened over 30 years ago. We all do things we're not too proud of."

"You ok with being a mother to her?"

"You know how much I love her."

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

"I do know that. I love you too."

Hank kissed Olivia and then they got up. He took her hand and they walked back into the restaurant to their table.

"Everything ok?"

"Oh, yeah."

Hank texted Erin to tell her everything was fine and they'd talk tomorrow. Their food arrived, so everyone ate. Rachel didn't like something on her plate.

"Here, Daddy."

"Keep it on your plate. You don't have to eat it if you don't want it."

"No, you eat it."

"Daddy doesn't want it."

"Why?"

"Because I have my own. Do you want to see Mickey tomorrow?"

"Uh huh!"

"Then eat your dinner."

"No."

"I'm the Boss and I say you need to eat."

"Mommy's the Boss."

"Mommy's not the Boss."

"Uh huh!"

"Who is she the Boss of?"

"You.

Olivia was laughing so hard she almost fell off her chair and both kids were giggling. Hank gave Olivia a dirty look.

"I have no idea where she comes up with this stuff."

"Yeah, sure."

Rachel wanted out of the high chair so Hank took her out and put her on his lap. She gave him a kiss.

"Love you, Daddy."

"I love you too. At least someone does."

"Me too, Daddy."

"Thank you."

"When did I say I didn't? Is there room on your lap for me too?"

"Nope."

Olivia put her head on Hank's shoulder and her hand on his knee. He kissed her forehead.

"You make such a beautiful family."

"Thank you."

"Someone is definitely Daddy's girl."

"Oh, yeah."

"Do they ever get into arguments?"

"Not really."

Rachel moved, so she could put her head on Hank's shoulder and ended up falling asleep. Noah could barely keep his eyes open as well. After everyone was finished eating, Nick paid for dinner and then they all left. By the time they got back to the hotel, both kids were sound asleep. Hank and Olivia got the kids ready for bed and then got ready for bed themselves. They knew tomorrow would be a long day as they kissed each other goodnight and fell asleep.
