A/N: It's been a while for this one. I don't own any of the characters except my own.

The next morning everyone had gotten up and got ready for their day. Olivia had texted Diana to see if she wanted to stop for breakfast on their way to work. She said she was fine with that. After Olivia was ready, she kissed Hank, Noah, Rachel and Camille before she went to pick up Diana. Diana kissed Ed, Kara and the boys and left.

"Hey."

"Hey.

Diana got into Olivia's SUV and put her seatbelt on. Olivia drove to the restaurant.

"How did things go last night?"

"Pretty well. He seems ok with us so far but I think a lot of that has to do with Brandon and you. Kara is handling things pretty well and loves being a big sister. Just a year ago, I had one child and now all of a sudden I'm the mother of three. How weird is that?"

"The one that surprises me is Edward. He's handling this dad stuff pretty well."

"He loves every minute of it."

"How is he after yesterday?"

"I think he's feeling better about things."

"Good."

"How are Will and Nat?"

"They're doing ok. Will has a broken arm and Nat had surgery on a ruptured spleen but also has a broken leg. Erin and Jay are staying until Sunday to help with the kids and I think Nat's mother may be coming in. Helen will do what she can too once Erin and Jay come back. The kids stayed with Helen last night. I think they said they were taking Owen and Mia over to see Grandpa Patrick today and they were planning to video chat with Hank or Meredith while they were there, so Patrick could talk to Camille."

"Ed was planning to have at least Hank and maybe Al go shopping with him, so they could get stuff for Mikey."

"The last time they did that with Brandon, I had to meet them because Ed bought so much. I think Hank said he and Al were going with him in the other vehicle, so if he goes crazy again, they'll have the room this time. Meredith was coming to stay with the kids even though Lucy will be there. One or the other can do the Preschool run."

They arrived at the restaurant and got out of the SUV. They went in and got a table. They looked at the menu and then the server came to take their order. She then went to get their coffee.

"What are you doing for the kids' birthdays?"

"Both kids decided they wanted their parties at Build a Bear, so Rachel will have hers the Saturday before her birthday and Noah's will be around his as well."

"That sounds like fun. Have you ever bowled?"

"A long time ago when I was in college I would go with friends."

"It's been a while for me too. Hank, Camille, Al, Meredith, Trudy and I used to bowl for fun. We were never in a league or anything. This was before I had Kara and Camille got so sick."

"Maybe that would be something we could do on a Friday night with the kids, while the guys have their poker game. I'm not sure I could get Hank to want to go if that was something he did with Camille."

"I was talking to Meredith the other day and she said he had mentioned something to Al about wanting to bowl again. She said we always had so much fun. Maybe that would be something the six of us could do tonight. There's that bowling alley next to the Pub. We could see if the kids want to come but if not, we can leave them at the Pub."

"That sounds like a plan. We can have dinner there and go bowling afterward."

"That works. We should check with the boys to make sure they don't decide to go there for lunch."

Both Olivia and Diana called their husbands and they thought it was a great idea. Hank said he would talk to Al and Meredith. Their food arrived and then they ate before Olivia paid for breakfast. They left, Olivia dropped Diana off and then she headed to the 1-6. Al and Meredith arrived at the same time Lucy and Jesse did, so they all came in together. Hank and the kids were having breakfast.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"Did Olivia already have a case this morning?"

"She and Diana went out for breakfast before they went in. Would you two be interested in doin' the Pub for dinner and then goin' bowling afterward?"

"Whose idea was this?"

"Diana's apparently."

"I would love to."

"Me too."

"Who's watching the kids?"

"They said the kids could come with us or we could leave them at the Pub."

"I could stay."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. You and Liv need a night to yourself every once in a while."

"It would be Ed and Diana's kids too."

"That's fine."

"Let me run that by Olivia."

The kids went to play, while Hank called Olivia.

"Hey, Honey."

"Hey. Lucy said she could stay with the kids. She said we need a night to ourselves every once in a while."

"She is too much. I'll check with Diana and let you know."

"Ok. How was breakfast?"

"It was good. Have you heard from Ed yet?"

"No. I'm sure I will once he takes the kids to school. If Lucy is stayin' with the kids, we will still have Jesse."

"Maybe Ed or Al can bring you and her here, so then they won't have to pick her up."

"We'll figure it out I'm sure."

"I'm sure we will. We always do."

"I'll let you go."

"Ok. I love you."

"I love you too."

Hank hung up the phone.

"I didn't think about Jesse."

"Olivia said I can have Al or Ed take me and Jesse to the Precinct, so they don't have to come get her. Olivia drove, so we wouldn't need two vehicles."

"We're fine with that if that's what it comes to."

"Ok. Coffee?"

"Yeah, thanks."

Hank got Al and Meredith some coffee and then they talked for a while. Ed took the kids to school and then he headed over to Hank and Olivia's. When he arrived, he rang the doorbell. Hank went to answer it.

"Hey."

"Hey. Come on in."

"Thanks."

Ed came in and went into the kitchen.

"Mornin'."

"Morning, Ed."

"What's the plan for later?"

"Lucy will watch the kids."

"Ok. I wasn't sure I wanted to take them bowling. We've known the family that owns that bowling alley for years."

"Do you bowl?"

"It's been a while. How about you?"

"Al, Meredith, Trudy, Diana, Camille and I used to bowl for fun before Diana had Kara and Camille got so sick."

"I don't know how long it's been for me."

"How was Michael's first night with you?"

"He did good. We're just tryin' to make the transition as easy as we can for him. We're talkin' about doin' the same thing for his room that we did for Brandon's."

"We will go with the other vehicle, so if you go as crazy as you did the last time, I won't have to call Olivia this time."

"That works. Jack said if we need his pickup truck or more help to let him know."

"Sounds like a plan. How you doin' after yesterday?"

"Actually, a lot better. It felt good standin' up to him after all these years and I'm the one that has the support of my family. I'm not sorry I punched him either."

"It sounds like he deserved it."

Hank went to find Rachel and told her to get dressed. Rachel went upstairs and got dressed.

"If you guys want to go, I can get her to Preschool."

"Ok. Jay and Erin were takin' Owen and Mia to see Patrick, so they were gonna video chat with one of us, so Patrick can see Camille."

"Ok. How are Will and Natalie, by the way?"

"Nat has a broken leg and had surgery for a ruptured spleen and Will has a broken arm. They seem to be doin' ok though. Helen is doin' what she can and I guess Nat's mother is comin' in to help out. Erin and Jay are plannin' to stay until Sunday."

"Hopefully they'll have a quick recovery."

"So do we. You guys ready?"

"Yeah."

Hank went to say goodbye to Noah, Camille and Jesse and then Rachel came downstairs.

"Daddy, are you leaving?"

"I am. I need to help Uncle Ed get some stuff for Michael. Have fun at Preschool."

"Ok."

Rachel kissed Hank and then he grabbed his jacket before he, Ed and Al left to go get what they needed. A little while later, Lucy took Rachel to school, while Meredith stayed with Noah, Camille and Jesse. Just before Lucy came back, Jay texted Meredith to see if she was with the kids and she said she was, so he contacted her by video chat, so they could all see Camille. In the meantime, Lucy had come back and then after Meredith hung up, Camille was put down for her nap. Noah and Jesse took their naps as well.

The guys got what they needed and went back to Ed and Diana's. Ed called Jack and had him come help them put stuff together. When he arrived, Ed answered the door and they went upstairs.

"What are you guys up to tonight?"

"The six of us havin' dinner at the Pub and goin' bowling next door."

"A date night would be great but the only night we'd be able to do it would be on Sunday. It's been years since Patty and I went bowling."

"I can't remember the last time I went."

Ed was opening the boxes with a box cutter and ended up slicing his hand.

"Damn it!"

"Did you just cut yourself?"

"Yeah, I did."

Ed went into the kids' bathroom and washed his hand and used something to put pressure on it. Jack came in with him.

"That's bleeding pretty good."

"Yeah, I know. My hand is throbbing."

Jack found what he needed and cleaned it again. He then put a bandage on it but it was bleeding through the bandage. He found the gauze and wrapped it but it was still bleeding.

"I think you need to go to the hospital."

"It's not that bad."

"It's bleeding through the bandage and the gauze, so it's probably deeper than you think."

"Alright fine."

"I'll take you."

"Ok."

Ed took one of the hand towels and wrapped it around his hand. They told Hank and Al they were leaving and they said they would be fine by themselves. Jack and Ed left and headed to the hospital, while Hank and Al continued working. When they arrived, Ed got checked in and then they waited. While they were waiting, Olivia and Shauna were leaving the ER to head back to the Precinct after talking to a victim and saw them.

"Uncle Ed, what did you do?"

"I cut my hand with a box cutter."

"Good job!"

"Does Diana know?"

"No but I'm sure she will."

"Why do you always have to be so stubborn?"

"He's always been that way. I've known him a long time. All six of them are stubborn."

"No arguments from me on that one. I'm just as bad."

Then Erin came in with Patty, who also had her hand wrapped up and she got checked in as well. They saw everyone else and came over to them.

"Mother, what did you do?"

"I cut my hand in the kitchen."

"It must be contagious."

"What did you do?"

"I cut my hand with a box cutter."

"Nice."

"If I hadn't told him to come in, he wouldn't have."

"If Ma hadn't told her to come in, she wouldn't have."

"If I was there, you would have come in."

Patty made a face at Jack and all Shauna could do was roll her eyes.

"She didn't cut anything off."

"That's encouraging."

"You don't really want to know which finger she cut."

"I'm sure I have an idea."

Shauna tried not to laugh. Ed's phone rang, so he answered it. After he was done, he hung up.

"Diana?"

"Yep."

"Did Hank call her?"

"No. She called to see how things were goin', so I told her what happened."

"You guys comin' for lunch?"

"The six of us are comin' for dinner and then we're goin' bowling afterward."

"Who you bringin'?"

"Hank, Olivia, Al and Meredith. Lucy is watchin' the kids."

"Ok."

"We need to get back."

"I know it's hard but both of you need to stay out of trouble. Especially you, Mother."

Shauna hugged everyone and then she and Olivia left. A little while later, Ed was called and was taken to have his hand looked at. He did need a few stitches. In the meantime, Patty had gone in as well and also needed a few stitches. Ed was released before Patty, so they checked on her and then headed back to the house. After Patty was released, she and Erin went back to the Pub.

Ed and Jack arrived at the house and Hank and Al were still working. They went up to Mike's room.

"Everything ok?"

"Yeah. I had to get a few stitches. My sister cut her finger and was there at the same time."

"I don't know who's worse."

"I'd say Patty."

"I'd have to agree. I would have done the same thing with her that I did with you but that's apparently what they did."

"You and Jason have always made sure everyone knows some kind of first aid."

"Mostly because of the kitchen. Cuts and burns are the most common kitchen injuries. Patty checks the kitchen multiple times before comin' upstairs and then I will. I'm always checkin' the wiring in the kitchen because an electrical fire can happen at any time."

"Are you the one that fixes it?"

"No. Jason's sister's husband is an electrician, so he usually comes over and fixes whatever needs to be fixed."

"It's good to know people."

"Yeah, it is."

The finished what they were doing and then Jack left, while Hank, Al and Ed went back to Hank and Olivia's with Lola and Lily. Hank went to pick Rachel up from Preschool and picked up something for lunch on the way back. After everyone ate, the kids took their naps.

The rest of the day went quickly. Ed had gone to get the kids at school and told them they were staying with Lucy at Uncle Hank and Aunt Olivia's, while they went out with them for a few hours. They were all fine with that. They all left in Al and Meredith's vehicle with Jesse and Frannie. By the time they all got there, Diana was already there. Meredith got Jesse out of her seat took and her hand, while Al got the seat out and Hank took Frannie's leash before they headed upstairs. Jesse saw Amanda and Sonny right away.

"Mama, Daddy!"

"Hey, you! Did you have fun today?"

"Yes."

Jesse hugged both of them and then Sonny picked her up. Olivia and Diana came out of her office and kissed their husbands.

"How's your hand?"

"It hurts but I'm ok."

"How's Patty?"

"I guess she's fine. I'm sure we'll see her when we're there."

"What did you do, Tucker?"

"I cut my hand on a box cutter."

"That was dumb."

"Actually, yeah it was. My sister cut her finger too, so we were there at the same time and we both needed stitches."

"Are you still going to be able to bowl?"

"Yeah."

"Who drove?"

"Al did, so we still need to take Ed and Diana home later."

"That works for me."

"How'd things go with Michael today?"

"He told me he had a good day. Both Brandon and Kara did too. All three of them were fine with stayin' at their house with Lucy."

"Good."

"Thanks for bringin' Jesse."

"No problem. Here's her seat."

"Thanks."

Sonny took the seat and went to put it in their vehicle, while Hank handed Frannie's leash to Amanda. After Sonny came back, everyone called it a day and headed wherever they were going. Ed and Diana rode with Hank and Olivia. When Olivia and Al arrived at the Pub, they parked and everyone went inside. Ed's parents were sitting with his aunt and uncle. His siblings except Patty were doing what they normally do.

"Hey, Junior."

"Hey."

Ed went to kiss his mother and aunt and hugged his dad and uncle. Diana also kissed both Ed and Colleen.

"How's your hand?"

"It hurts but it's ok. Where's Patty?"

"She's upstairs. Her finger was throbbing."

"My finger was too for a while but I took somethin' for the pain and it seemed to help."

Jack came down from upstairs.

"Hey."

"Hey. How's she doin'?"

"She's bein' a pain in the ass."

"How long have you known her?"

"Too long. I get it hurts."

"Mine does too but I took somethin' for the pain."

"I tried telling her that but she doesn't listen."

"Just like her father."

"I've been doin' better since my surgery."

"At least you've listened to your Physical Therapist. I'll give you that."

Erin came out of the kitchen.

"Hey. Sit anywhere."

They all sat down and decided what they wanted. Erin took their order and brought the drinks out.

"What are you up to tonight?"

"After dinner, we're goin' bowling next door."

"That sounds like fun. Where are the kids?"

"Lucy is watching all of them."

"When do we get to meet Michael?"

"Maybe I'll bring him by tomorrow after school."

"Kara has an orthodontist appointment after school tomorrow."

"Then I guess I'll need to drop them off with Hank and Lucy."

Then Shauna and Jeff came in.

"Hey, Princess."

"Hi Daddy. Where's Mom?"

"She's upstairs."

Shauna hugged her dad and grandparents. Erin came out of the kitchen again.

"Hey, kiddo."

"Hey. We need 8 burgers and fries to go. Two with everything, two no onion and four with just ketchup."

"How do you want them cooked and what kind of cheese?"

"All 8 of them medium-well, four with cheddar and four with American."

"Ok. I take it the 4 with just ketchup has American."

"You got it."

Erin went back into the kitchen and then Patty came downstairs.

"Feeling better?"

"I think so."

"Where's Dyl?"

"They went to Hartford. Hailey's grandma was taken to the hospital after a fall, so they went to be with her family. She may have broken her hip."

"That sucks."

"Yes, it does."

"The kids wanted burgers for dinner, so we told them we'd pick some up."

"That'll do it. How's your hand, big brother?"

"It's ok. I took somethin' for the pain."

"I finally did too. When was the last time we had a date night?"

"It's been a while, since you're always here. I seem to be spendin' my retirement hangin' out here."

"You should join us for poker sometime."

"I would love to. When do you play?"

"Friday nights at Hank and Olivia's."

"I might too."

"What does everyone else do?"

"We change it up. When we first started doing this, the ladies and the kids would go out for dinner. Then we all had dinner together and we would watch movies with the kids, while the guys play. Over the summer we were out by the pool and we have the hot tub."

"That sounds great."

Patty went into the kitchen.

"Maybe you to need to get a way for a few days."

"I'm thinkin' we do too. We haven't been anywhere since we went to Ireland but that was with the whole family."

Then Erin came back.

"Do you have a problem with Patty and Jack going away for a few days?"

"Not at all. Bridget, Shannon, Maureen and I can handle the kitchen. Dan and I need it sometimes too. We've all been through it. Although since you're takin' the kids to Disney, we may use that time to get away for a few days too."

"When I took Eddie to Florida, we spent a little time with Grandma Eileen and Grandpa John. Grandma said it's been a while since she's seen you."

"Any time I get alone with your mother, I am not going to be spending with my parents. It works both ways. They can come up here too."

"Have they met Jeff?"

"Yes, they have. They met us at the Magic Kingdom one day."

"Ok."

"Diana and I had a great time when we went on the cruise."

"Yes, we did."

"I'll think of somethin' I'm sure."

Erin went to get the food for Hank, Olivia, Ed, Diana, Al and Meredith. Patty came out of the kitchen with the burgers.

"Here you go, Sweetie."

"Thanks."

Shauna's brother and sister came in.

"Hey, you two."

"Hey, Mom. How are you feelin'?"

"It hurts but I'm ok."

"Good. Hi everyone."

"Hey."

"We should get home before the burgers and fries get cold."

"You guys doin' anything on Sunday?"

"As far as I know, we're not. Why?"

"The four of us haven't gotten together since you've been back, so I was thinkin' maybe the 4 of us, our spouses and the kids could have dinner at our house. We got to know the kids a little bit when we went to Ireland but we don't know Jeff that well."

"That works as far as I know."

"Ok. I'll talk to Kevin and let you know a time. Where's Dyl?"

"He and Hailey went to Hartford. Her mom called and said her grandma fell and probably broke her hip, so they went to join the family up there."

"I'll text him and see if they can come too. Jeff, your parents are welcome to join us and so are Mom and Dad."

"Since the Pub is closed, that'll work."

"I'm tryin' to figure out where I wanna take you for a few days. We need to get away."

"I know we do. We've never been to Hawaii."

"No, we haven't."

"That is one of our favorite places. I can't wait until Hank and I take the kids in December."

"Where do you stay?"

"The Westin on Waikiki Beach. I highly recommend the spa there. Hank gave me a spa day on my birthday last year and it was so amazing. It included a massage and after everything I had been through with the accident and all that, it felt so good. I scheduled another one for both of us before we left."

"We're thinkin' about takin' the kids there."

"We're more than likely going to go there when we do our honeymoon next year sometime."

"I'm looking into doing something around Valentine's Day."

"Just let me know when you plan on being off and for how long and I'll put it on the calendar."

"Ok."

"What do we owe you?"

"Don't worry about it."

"Thanks."

Shauna and Jeff said goodbye to everyone before they left and headed home.

"It is so good to see her so happy."

"When she told me what happened with that little bastard that fathered Eddie, I really wanted to wring his neck."

"Me too."

"I don't think we heard this story."

Diana and Hank told Emily and Patrick about what Shauna had been through.

"Damn! Eddie is a good kid though."

"That's because Shauna raised him."

"Uncle Ed, what did you do to your hand?"

"I cut it with a box cutter this mornin'. Your dad had come over to help us put the furniture I got for Michael together and when I opened the box, I sliced my hand. Your dad helped me clean it up and bandage it but the blood was soakin' through the bandage. He put gauze around the bandage but it soaked through that too. He suggested I go to the hospital. I grabbed one of the hand towels and wrapped that around my hand."

"How'd you bruise your other hand?"

"That happened yesterday when I punched Eugene in the nose."

"It's about time someone punched him."

"I told him to go to hell and kiss my ass."

"You didn't?"

"I did."

"Good for you."

"I talked to Chief Dodds about that had happened yesterday and even he said it sounded like Eugene deserved it."

"I'm not sorry I did it. I'm tired of his shit."

"You had every right to do it. We don't blame you for any of it. You were right about him hiding behind the collar."

"When I reminded him that he broke my arm when we were kids, he again tried blamin' me."

"Whatever is wrong with him is no little thing."

"That's for sure."

"Did you two just come here to find out how I was?"

"No. I'm here to pick somethin' up for dinner and ran into Em."

"I might as well get something too.

"What do you want?"

Patrick and Emily both told Erin what they wanted and then she went to put the order in.

"Eugene told me I was goin' to hell because of my divorce. I asked him if he thought I should just stay in an unhappy marriage. He told me there was counselling."

"He's the one that needs counselling."

"He's the reason our kids went to the public high school. Junior didn't want him to continue bullying him and Patty wasn't too far behind."

Diana could tell Ed was upset, so she started rubbing his back. Colleen came over and wrapped her arms around him.

"I'm honestly surprised he didn't press charges against me, since he's always the victim."

"As far as I'm concerned, it was justified."

"I think so too. I do know that if I hadn't been there when you were talking to him when this first happened, you would have kicked his ass."

"Yeah, I would have."

"Even though I was there as your wife and not as a cop, if you hadn't retired, this would probably need to be investigated by Internal Affairs by someone who isn't me."

"I am well aware of that, since I used to be that person."

"Were you always that detail oriented?"

"I think so."

"Yeah, he was and he was also very meticulous."

"Now that I'm a dad, I'm not as meticulous as I used to be. I think that was the reason I never really wanted kids and I never saw myself in that role until Noah came into my life. Now I wouldn't change it for anything."

"I admit that I like things to be in a certain place but that's not easy with young kids."

"Junior's room was the cleanest of our kids' rooms and he was the one that was always helping me clean the house."

"He cleans our house all the time. He won't go to bed until the kitchen is clean and the laundry is done and put away.

"He's even cleaned ours. We had everyone, including Hank's former unit at our house all night and Ed wasn't sleeping, so he cleaned the kitchen and did the laundry. I told him that whatever was wrong with him was no little thing."

Senior shook his head and everyone else in the family laughed.

"That's him."

"Wasn't that the time when Rollins had her appendectomy?"

"That was the time."

"That was before I came into the picture."

"It wasn't too long after that. She was staying with us after her surgery. That first time you called and told me about Lieutenant Murphy and you would only release what you had to her or supervisor, I thought you were a little bitchy."

"I probably was. At first, I had no idea what I was thinking when I decided to take this job. I hated being away from my daughter but I found out I had a sister I never knew about and met the love of my life."

Emily and Patrick both got their food and left. Hank, Olivia, Al, Meredith, Ed and Diana finished eating and then they went to the bowling alley. They got their shoes and chose which ball they were each using. They then started bowling and had a great time. They decided to have the men vs. the women. The women won that one. They then had a couple's game and that was closer than they expected.

Once they were done, they headed home and Hank and Olivia sent Lucy home. Noah and Rachel were already in bed and Ed and Diana took the kids home. Hank and Olivia got ready for bed and made love before they fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next morning, Olivia got up and got ready for work. While she was in the shower, Hank got up, let the dogs out, fed them and fixed breakfast for Olivia and the kids. Once Olivia was out of the shower, she went downstairs.

"Good morning."

"Good morning to you too."

Olivia kissed Hank and then she had breakfast.

"What's going on today?"

"Laundry mostly but I also need to change the sheets on the beds."

Camille woke up, so Hank went up to get her. He changed her diaper and made sure Noah and Rachel were up. He went back downstairs and put Camille in her high chair.

"Gama!"

"Morning, sweetie."

"Mama, Dada."

"We'll call your mommy and daddy later. How does that sound?"

Camille smiled at Hank and then Noah and Rachel came downstairs.

"Morning, Mommy."

"Morning, my loves."

Noah and Rachel hugged Olivia and then they sat down to have breakfast. Olivia went upstairs to finish getting ready. Once she was ready, she went back downstairs and Hank gave her another coffee.

"Have a good day."

"I would much rather be here with all of you."

She kissed Hank and the kids and then she left for work. After Noah and Rachel were done with breakfast, they went to get dressed, while Hank went to get Camille dressed. In the meantime, Lucy got there with Jesse.

"MORNING, HANK."

"MORNIN'."

Once Hank got Camille dressed, he brought her downstairs.

"Morning, Miss Camille."

Camille smiled at Lucy. Hank handed her to Lucy.

"I'm gonna go take a shower."

"Ok. Are Noah and Rachel up?"

"Yeah. They should be gettin' dressed."

"Ok."

Hank went back upstairs to take a shower, while Lucy went to put Camille in her playpen. After Noah and Rachel were dressed, they came back downstairs.

"Morning, Lucy."

"Morning, you two."

While Hank was getting ready, Al and Meredith got there with Tom and Gloria. After Hank was dressed, he went back downstairs. Noah and Rachel went into the family room to watch TV. Al and Meredith got themselves and Tom and Gloria coffee.

"Hey."

"Morning, Hank."

"Did Olivia leave already?"

"Yep."

"We had fun last night."

"So did we. The 6 of us should do that more often."

"Yeah, we should."

"What did you do last night?"

"The 6 of us went to Ed's family's Pub for dinner and then we went bowling. I hadn't been bowling in years."

"You and Camille used to bowl, didn't you?"

Yeah, we did. We used to go bowling with Diana, Trudy, Al and Meredith. Olivia and I are always lookin' for new things to do for a date night."

"You do need those every once and a while. How are Jay's brother and sister-in-law?"

"They're gettin' better. When I talked to Erin and Jay yesterday, they said they will probably be comin' home by the weekend."

"What are you up to today?"

"I have laundry to do and I need to get the sheets changed."

"I did laundry last night and Kara helped after she was done with her homework."

"Oh, good. Thanks."

"No problem."

"What have the two of you been up to?"

"Not too much. We did spend sometime with Olive and her family."

"I'm glad to hear that."

"Trevor seems like he's a great guy."

"He is. She was so worried about what I thought and honestly, all I care about is that whoever she's with is good to her and the kids, which he is. I also want a relationship with my grandkids, which I do have. All I care about is that she's happy and Justin would have wanted her to be happy too."

"We told them that we wanted a relationship with the kids and they were fine with that."

"You have every right to have a relationship with them, since they are your great grandchildren. None of us dealt with what happened to Justin too well."

"It does work both ways. We didn't do such a great job at keeping in contact with you either after Camille died."

"Erin feels bad she didn't contact you about Justin."

"Judy probably wouldn't have been happy if we had heard from you anyway."

"She's not the one in charge."

"She likes to think she is. She's always been that way. We haven't spoken to her since we got into it with her. We talk to Charlie and the girls all the time. The girls are all coming here for Thanksgiving."

"I'm sure Judy will be thrilled about that."

"She sees Vicky but she judges her for her choices as well. None of the rest of them really make an effort to come see her. They came to see us when we were still down there and would make a point to see their dad and sister but not their mother."

"How many great grandchildren do you have besides the 3 I already know about?"

"Elyse and David have 2 boys, Jake and Charlie. Kelly and Chris have 1 of each, Samantha and Spencer, who are twins. Leslie and Steve have 2 girls, Madison and Lily. Vicky and Matt have 1 of each, Henry and Abby. They range in age from 2-10. Jake is 10 and Abby is 2."

"How old is Henry?"

"He'll be 5 around Christmas."

"He's the same age as Noah. Noah will be 5. Daniel is about 3½ and the twins will be 2 just before Christmas."

"Abby was 2 in September."

"Jake was the only one around when Camille passed, right?"

"Yeah. Charlie was born that year and Sami and Spencer were born the following year. Do you regret not having any more kids?"

"Yeah. I wonder how Justin's twin would have turned out had she lived but then I also know that she could have had the same problems as Camille. Camille and I wanted more kids though. Olivia was pregnant but miscarried. That was almost 2 years ago. She had cysts on both ovaries. She took that so hard but we got through it. She adopted Noah and I adopted him when we got together. Rachel came into our lives and then we officially made her a part of the family. Her birthday is the same day as Justin's, which is also the day Olivia and I met."

"How did you end up meeting Olivia?"

"Our paths crossed during a case that involved Erin's half brother Teddy and we did not start out on the right foot. After that, we respected each other. We worked together a couple more times and one of those times, I told her I had feelings for her but she said she was with someone else. I didn't handle that very well. She was the first person I developed feelings for since Camille. I fell hard for Camille and the same thing happened with Olivia. Ever since we've been together, we've been inseparable."

"Camille told me that she didn't want you to be alone for the rest of your life."

"I had anger issues after Camille's death and I was headed that route after Justin's death. I wanted to kill the son of a bitch that killed Justin but Erin told me I needed to be there for Daniel. I decided against it because I really didn't want to go back to prison. Olivia told me it doesn't make me less of a man if I show my emotions. I'm tryin' to be a better person for her, Noah, Rachel and the grandkids. Sometimes I think my job was startin' to get to me."

"That makes perfect sense. You do what you need to do."

"I also think the change in scenery was good for me. Bein' in a long distance relationship was hard but Olivia was worth it. I wouldn't have done it for just anyone and she knows that."

Hank went to get Noah, so he could take him to Preschool. Once he came back, he did whatever he needed to do and then Erin and Jay called, so they could talk to Camille. Everyone decided to go out for lunch. Hank called Olivia and asked if she wanted to join them. She said she did. He also called Ed and he said he did too. Hank left with Camille and Rachel to get Ed and then they picked up Noah before they headed to the Precinct to get Olivia. When they arrived, they got out of their vehicles and went up.

"Hello, everyone."

"Hey."

Olivia kissed Hank and the kids and Jesse kissed Amanda and Sonny. Then Diana came in and kissed Ed.

"Hey, Honey."

"Hey, Babe."

"How's your hand, Edward?"

"It still hurts but thanks for askin'."

"No problem."

Diana, Amanda and Sonny also joined them for lunch. After lunch, everyone headed wherever they were going. When Olivia, Amanda and Sonny got back, there was a visitor Olivia hadn't seen in a long time. Jeff and Shauna were at lunch.

"Huang!"

"Hey, Olivia. It's good to see you."

"You too."

Olivia went to hug George.

"I wanted to apologize to you for how I treated you the last time I saw you. That was pretty rude of me. It's just that I was so used to you being on the same side and I overreacted to you helping the defense."

"I understand. I'm not mad at you but I get why you were upset."

"What brings you back to New York?"

"I just came for a visit."

"If you don't have plans, I would love for you to come for dinner, so you can meet my family."

"I would love that."

"We'll have to get everyone together. Fin, are you available?"

"I am. I'll check with Warner."

"What about you two?"

"We're good."

"Detective Rollins and Detective Carisi, it's nice to see you both again."

"You too."

Olivia texted Hank to see if having people over for dinner was ok and he said it was. He was at the store anyway. She said she still had to check with Don, John, Casey and Alex yet. Hank told her that Ed, Diana and the kids and Trevor, Olive and the kids were already coming over.

"Hank said he was at the store anyway, so he's fine with it. Ed, Diana and the kids and Trevor, Olive and the kids were invited before I asked him about this.

"Warner is in."

Olivia texted everyone else.

"Olivia, when did you get married?"

"It'll be 2 years in December. I told you about Noah."

"You did."

"Hank and I adopted a little girl Rachel a year and a half ago. Noah loves being a big brother. I found out I had a half sister, who is a friend of my husband's. She moved here and took over Internal Affairs. After I last saw you, I was involved with Ed Tucker but I was actually fighting my feelings for Hank. Ed and I stayed friends and he and Hank have become friends as well. He and Diana got together last year and they got married, so he is actually my brother-in-law. When we were together, I saw another side to him and he gave up his job with IAB. He took over Hostage Negotiation until he retired last year. He and Diana got married not too long before he retired. She has a daughter and they adopted a little boy. As of a couple days ago, they took in another boy and hope to eventually adopt him too."

"It sounds like Tucker isn't the person he used to be."

"No, he's not."

"Wasn't he investigated a couple years back?"

"He was. His cousin was involved with that. His cousin is a priest and used to bully Ed when they were kids."

"That could explain a lot."

"It probably does. He went to visit him in prison the other day and stood up to him, so I think he feels better about it."

"Sometimes that's all it takes. You look happy."

"I am. I have everything I have ever wanted and so much more."

"Good."

Olivia gave George her address and then he left for a while. The rest of the afternoon went quickly. Everyone had responded that they would be there. Everyone left the Precinct and headed to Hank and Olivia's. When everyone got to the house, they all went inside. Ed and the kids were already there and Hank was in the kitchen. Olivia kissed Hank.

"Thanks for agreeing to this at the last minute."

"No problem. I like meetin' your friends."

"It smells great."

"Thanks."

Olivia went upstairs to take her gun off and put it in the safe, while everyone else helped themselves to something to drink. Just as Olivia was heading downstairs, the doorbell rang, so she answered it. It was pretty much everyone else.

"Hey, Liv."

"Hey. Come on in."

Everyone came in and took their jackets off and then they went into the kitchen.

"Hey, everyone."

"Hey."

"So, Liv, what's the surprise?"

"Huang came for a visit, so I thought it would be nice to get everyone together."

"What a great idea!"

"Who are we still waitin' on?"

"George isn't here yet, the Langans aren't here and neither is Diana."

"Diana just texted me and said she was leavin'."

The doorbell rang, so Olivia went to answer it. It was George, Trevor, Olive and the kids.

"Olivia, you have a beautiful home."

"Thanks. Wait until you see the rest of it. You remember Trevor Langan, right?"

"Of course."

"This is his wife Olive, who was married to Hank's son. These are our grandkids Daniel, Justin and Nicole and Maggie is Olive and Trevor's daughter. We're also grandparents to her. Olive, this is George Huang, who's a retired Psychiatrist from the FBI but used to help us with cases."

"It's nice to meet you."

"You too."

Everyone took their jackets and shoes off. The kids went to give Hank and hug and then they said hi to everyone else. Olivia walked into the kitchen with George, Trevor and Olive.

"Hey, Huang!"

"Hello, everyone. Good to see you."

"You too."

"George, this is my husband Hank Voight. Honey, this is George Huang."

"Nice to meet you."

"You too."

Olivia took George to meet Noah, Rachel, Camille, Kara, Brandon and Michael and then she took him to show him around the house.

"This is beautiful."

"Thank you. We love it here."

They headed back downstairs and then they went into the living room. Some of the others joined them as well.

"I have to ask this but do you ever hear from Elliot?"

"Nope. Like I have told everyone else, as far as I'm concerned, he's dead to me. He couldn't be bothered to contact me after what happened with William Lewis. Hank is retired from Chicago PD and they all heard about what had happened. His first wife's niece wants to work with the cop that was held by William Lewis and she's in Atlanta. Is Elliot Stabler living under a rock or just being an ass on purpose? I get what happened to me isn't about him but give me a break! How can you work together as long as we did and completely ignore something like that?"

"I knew about you before I transferred from Atlanta. I get I was here when all the Lewis stuff happened but you had a reputation even before that. Why do you think I wanted to come here?"

"I may not have been in your life when the thing with Lewis happened but it didn't mean I hadn't heard about it."

"Same with me."

"You both came back into my life almost a year ago."

"Yes, we did."

"Honestly, Olivia, I don't blame you for feeling the way you do. You would think that if he cared at all, he would have contacted you after what happened with Lewis. Do you hear from Amaro?"

"All the time. We talk once a month or more and last year, Hank and I took the kids to Disneyland and we spent some time with him. He was here last summer after the accident I was in."

"What happened with that?"

Olivia told George everything that had happened with Peterson and Doyle as the doorbell rang. Fin got up to get it. It was Diana. Diana kissed Ed and then Olivia introduced her to George.

"It's nice to meet you."

"You too. Olivia and Amanda, I'm sorry you both had to go through all that."

"Thanks."

"How was your day?"

"It was ok. I think I need a few days away from work."

"I'll see what I can do."

"You're more than welcome to use our house in the Hamptons."

"Hank and I can take the kids."

"Spending the weekend in the Hamptons sounds great."

"I have to be in court tomorrow, so I will drop the keys off at your office on my way."

"Great. Thank you so much."

"You're welcome."

"Does that work for you?"

"Yeah."

Hank let them know dinner was ready, so everyone went to get something to eat. Olivia talked to Hank about Ed and Diana's kids staying with them while Ed and Diana went away for a few days and he was fine with it. They spent time getting caught up with George. Everyone except Ed, Diana and the kids left and they were cleaning up. Camille was already in bed.

"Dad and I are planning to spend the weekend at Olive and Trevor's place in the Hamptons. Trevor is going to drop the keys off at my office tomorrow. Aunt Olivia and Uncle Hank said the 3 of you can stay here."

"Ok. That's fine. When are you leaving?"

"I wouldn't mind leaving tomorrow after work."

"That works for me. Can you work a half day and then we can get a head start?"

"I'm good with that too."

"That works for us."

"Erin usually takes Kara to school, so I will let her know."

"I have to pick her up though, right?"

"Yeah. Kelly too."

"Kelly was supposed to sleepover on Friday."

"Oh, that's right."

"She can stay here too."

"Thank you so much, Aunt Olivia."

"You're welcome. You two can have the family room.

"Cool!"

"We need to get home."

"I will pick you up in the morning."

"Ok."

"I'll bring their stuff over with the dogs after I take the boys to school."

"Ok."

Everyone said goodnight and then the Tuckers went home. Ed texted Erin to let her know what was going on, so she knew Hank would get the girls after school and she would have to pick Kara up at Hank and Olivia's for school on Friday. Olivia and Hank got Noah and Rachel got ready for bed and tucked them in after they got their story. Hank and Olivia went to get ready for bed and then they made love before they fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next morning, Olivia got up and got ready for work. She let Hank sleep and went downstairs. She fed the dogs and let them out. She then grabbed something for breakfast before she went to pick Diana up. Hank and Ed had both gotten up shortly after their wives left. They both got into the shower and then Ed made sure the kids were up. Kara got in the shower, while Ed made breakfast. Hank got breakfast ready for Noah, Rachel and Camille. Once Kara was ready and had her bag packed for the weekend, she went to have breakfast. Erin came to get Kara. Kara said goodbye to Ed and left for school. A little while later, Ed took the boys to school and then took the kids' bags and the dogs over to Hank and Olivia's. Trevor stopped at Diana's office to drop the keys off before he headed to court. Diana let Ed know she had the keys and to pick her up by noon.
