A/N: This chapter is based on last week's episode of SVU, "Real Fake News". I don't own any of the characters.

Hank Babysits

"Voight."

"Hey. I need a favor."

"For you, anything. Do you have someone's ass you want me to kick?"

"If it comes to that, maybe. We're working on this case that involves a guy that posts things on his website and it's gossipy stuff. Well, he posted pics of me and Noah and Amanda and Jesse. He's questioning where the fathers are. Apparently single mothers aren't allowed to raise children. Anyway, Lucy was supposed to take the kids with her to New Jersey but something came up. I'm just trying to get them out of the picture for a few days, so I can keep them as safe as possible."

"Say no more. I'll come out there and take them back with me for a few days."

"You're joking, right?"

"No. Noah is practically my son anyway and it's been a while since I've seen either of you."

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

"Yes. I love you too."

Olivia hung up the phone.

"Liv, did you just call Voight?"

"I did. He's going to take the kids to Chicago for a few days."

"Is that even a good idea?"

"He's great with Noah and Noah loves him so much. Like Hank said, Noah is practically his son anyway."

"Jesse can be pretty fussy sometimes."

"Rollins, the whole point is to keep the kids safe. They couldn't be any safer."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

Hank made his reservation to go to New York and headed to the airport. Several hours later, he arrived and immediately went to SVU. As soon as he arrived, he went up.

"Hank!"

Noah ran over to Hank and gave him a hug.

"Hey, Buddy."

"Mommy said I go to your house."

"Yep. You and Jesse are coming with me. Hey, Babe."

"Hey, Sweetie."

Olivia went up to Hank and kissed him.

"Thanks for doing this."

"No problem."

"When is your return flight?"

"A few hours."

"That doesn't give us much time. Amanda and I will come get them after the case, which I'm hoping will be over quickly. I just want to spend some time with you."

"You have vacation coming up, right?"

"Yes."

"I do too so maybe we can take Noah somewhere."

"You planning to visit Olive and Daniel?"

"Not this summer. I don't want to go to Arizona in the summer. She's been talking about coming to visit me but she doesn't know when."

"I don't blame you for not wanting to go to Arizona in the summer. It's too hot."

"Can I see what was posted about you?"

"Yeah. Carisi, pull that up."

"Sure."

Carisi pulled up the website and then Hank looked at it, while shaking his head.

"Wow! I'm sorry you both have to go through this. It's not really anyone's business and like you said, women raise children on their own all the time."

"Thank you."

"No problem. You two about ready?"

"Yeah!"

"No! Mama?"

"It's ok, Baby. You know Sergeant Voight. Noah will be with you the whole time."

"Jesse, he's very sweet. See?"

Olivia gave Hank a kiss and then he wrapped his arms around her.

"Hug."

Hank picked up Jesse and hugged her.

"K."

"We'll be fine, Rollins."

"She's a feisty one sometimes."

"No different than you, Manda."

"Shut up, Fin!"

"He's right, you know."

"Shut up, Carisi. Give Fin and Carisi hugs."

Jesse gave Fin and Carisi hugs.

"Bye-bye, Fin. Bye-bye, Caisi."

"Bye, Cutie."

"Bye, baby girl."

Noah gave Fin and Carisi hugs as well.

"Bye, Uncle Fin. Bye, Uncle Sonny."

"Bye, little man."

"See ya, Noah."

Olivia and Amanda grabbed their jackets and walked out with Hank and the kids and put them in the car.

"Noah, be a good boy for Hank, ok?"

Ok, Mommy. I love you."

"I love you too."

"Jesse, be good."

"K, Mama."

Both Olivia and Amanda kissed their respective children.

"Bye, Jesse."

"Bye-bye, Livia."

"Bye, Noah."

"Bye, Auntie Mandy."

"Call me when you get to the house."

"I always do. Catch the bastard."

"We will. I love you."

"I love you too."

Olivia kissed Hank and then he got into the car. He then drove to the airport, while Olivia and Amanda went back upstairs to continue working on the case. A few hours later, the plane took off to Chicago. By the time they arrived in Chicago, both kids were asleep, Hank picked them both up and carried them off the plane before he went to get the luggage. He had called Erin to pick them up, so she met them in Baggage Claim.

"Hey."

"Hey. Can you take her?"

"Sure."

Hank handed Jesse to Erin, while he waited for the stuff. Noah woke up in the meantime.

"Are we here?"

"We are. Can you go stand by Erin, so I can get your stuff?"

"Ok."

Noah went over to Erin and took her hand. Hank got the stuff and they all went out to the SUV. Hank put the seats in and then Erin strapped them in. Hank and Erin got in.

"Hank, I'm hungry."

"Ok. We'll stop on the way home."

Jesse woke up and wasn't sure where she was until she saw Noah.

Hank started driving and found a McDonald's.

"Nuggies and fys."

"Me too."

The 4 of them went in and Erin took them to find a table while Hank went to get the food. After they ate, the kids played for a little bit and then Hank drove home. Once the kids were settled and Erin went home, Hank called Olivia after he put one of Daniel's DVD's in.

"Hey."

"Hey. We're at the house. We stopped at McDonald's on the way back."

"Did he eat?"

"Oh, yeah. She did too. They both had chicken mcnuggets and fries."

"Their favorite."

"They played for a little bit too."

"Good. I really appreciate you doing this. I owe you big time."

"And I intend to collect as soon as you get here."

"I don't doubt it."

"Noah wants to say hi."

"Ok."

Hank handed Noah his phone, so he could talk to Olivia. After Noah was done, Hank talked to her again before hanging up. Once the DVD was over, he took them up and got them ready for bed. Hank tried to put Jesse in the crib but she got mad.

"No!"

"What's wrong?"

"No baby. Big girl. No crib."

"Ok. I'm sorry."

Hank put her in the toddler bed with Noah and read them a story. By the time he was done, they were both snuggled together asleep. He kissed them both on top of their heads, took his phone out, took a picture and sent it to Olivia and Amanda. Hank went to get ready for bed and went to bed himself. Sometime during the night, both kids had crawled into bed with Hank. Erin arrived early and let herself in. She went upstairs and saw that both kids were snuggled next to Hank. She tried not to laugh. She took a picture and sent it to Olivia and Amanda. Then Hank woke up.

"What?"

"Noah and Jesse are snuggling with you."

"I guess they are. You took a picture, didn't you?"

"Yep and I sent it to Liv and Amanda."

"Figures."

Erin got a reply to her pic.

"Liv's jealous."

"Why?"

"Hard to say. What are you 3 up to today?"

"I have no idea. I guess I'll see what they want to do."

Hank's phone rang.

"Guess who that is?"

"Your wife."

"What wife?"

Hank answered the phone.

"Hey, Babe."

"Nice picture."

"Thanks. So, you're jealous, huh?"

"Yeah. A little bit. I wish I was there snuggling with you."

"You do, huh?"

"Yep. Do you ever think about getting married again?"

"I do."

Hank got up, went into the bathroom and shut the door.

"I've been doing some thinking. I want us closer together and I know you're the one I want to be with. You and Noah are my family now. I've been thinking about retiring. That way, you can continue working for however long you plan on working for and I can be at home with Noah."

"I love that idea! Ever since we got together, I have thought of nothing but becoming your wife."

"Good. Maybe I can take the kids shopping today."

"Sounds like a plan. I need to go."

"Ok. I love you."

"I love you too."

Hank hung up the phone and then he went back out to the bedroom. Noah and Jesse weren't in bed, so he figured they were downstairs with Erin. He went down and Erin was fixing breakfast for all of them. Hank took a shower before Erin headed to work and then he got the kids dressed. After the kids were dressed, Hank took them to the District. When they arrived, Hank got them out of the SUV and they went in.

"Hey, Hank."

"Hey, Trudy."

"Hi Noah."

"Hi."

"Who's this little cutie?"

"This is Jesse, Amanda Rollins' daughter."

"Hi."

"Hi."

"There's a surprise upstairs for you?"

"It can't be Olivia because I just talked to her."

"No, it's not Olivia."

Hank went upstairs and saw Olive and Daniel.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"Papa!"

"Hey, Buddy!"

"Hank, I need a favor."

"What?"

"I need to go out of town for a family emergency and my sister is going too. I don't want to take Daniel, so can he stay with you?"

"Absolutely."

"Thanks. I need to get back to the airport."

"Stay here, you three."

Olive kissed Daniel and then Hank went with Olive to get Daniel's things. He put his car seat in his SUV along with his bag and then Hank went back upstairs. Jesse was sitting in Hank's chair and the boys were sitting in the chairs in front of Hank's desk.

"Jesse, are you in charge?"

"Yeah."

"Papa, fire trucks."

"We can put that on the schedule. I need to go shopping for something."

"What?"

"Jewelry."

"For Mommy?"

"Yep. How would you like be to become your daddy?"

"Really?"

"Yeah."

Noah gave Hank a big hug.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Hank introduced everyone to Jesse and then they left to go to the Jeweler. While Hank was picking out the perfect ring for Olivia with the help of Noah, Jesse and Daniel, SVU had just finished their case, so Olivia and Amanda made reservations to fly to Chicago. Before they left, Olivia called Erin to see if she could pick them up at the airport. She wanted to surprise Hank. Erin agreed. After they left the Jeweler, Hank took the kids out to lunch before going over to the Fire Station. Hank got everyone out of the SUV and went in.

"Hey, Hank."

"Hey. You remember Noah, right?"

"Of course. Hey, Noah."

"Hi."

"This is Jesse Rollins, Amanda's daughter."

"Hi Jesse."

"Hi."

"Hey, Daniel."

"Hi."

"They boys want to hang out for a while if that's ok."

"That's sound like a plan. Come on, guys."

Noah and Daniel went with Matt, Kelly and the other guys.

"Come on, Jesse. You can hang out with us."

"K."

Jesse went with Gabby, Sylvie and Stella. Hank took pictures of the boys and then he pulled the ring out of his pocket to look at it.

"Hank."

"Wallace."

"Are you planning to propose to Olivia?"

"Yeah, I am. I'm also planning to retire once we do get married. I know I want to be with her all the time and I am crazy about Noah."

"Can I see it?"

"Sure."

Hank showed Wallace the ring.

"That is absolutely beautiful."

"Thanks."

After they were done at the Fire Station, Hank took them to Navy Pier. Erin had gone to the airport to pick up Olivia and Amanda.

"Hey, ladies."

"Hey."

"Hank has Daniel now too. Olive had a family emergency and she didn't want to take Daniel."

"Poor Hank!"

"He's up to something."

"He usually is."

Erin called Hank to see where he was and he told her they were at Navy Pier. Erin drove to Navy Pier and then she found out they were at the Children's Museum. Erin dropped them off and they went to find Hank and the kids. They found them and Olivia put her arms around Hank.

"Hey!"

"Hi. I missed you."

"I missed you too."

Hank kissed Olivia.

"Rollins, can you watch them for a little while?"

"Definitely."

"Hi Mommy!"

"Hey, Baby. Hi Daniel."

"Hi."

Hank took Olivia's hand and then they went to get tickets for the Ferris Wheel. They got on and took their ride.

"Olivia."

"Yeah."

"Will you marry me?"

"Yes!"

Hank put the ring on Olivia's finger and then they kissed as they overlooked the city. After their ride was over, they went to find Amanda and the kids.

"Guess what?"

"What?"

"Hank and I are engaged."

"Liv, congratulations!"

"Thanks."

Noah hugged both of them and then they looked around some more before they went back to Hank's. Amanda stayed in the one bedroom with Jesse and then Daniel and Noah shared the other room. All 3 kids went down for their naps and Amanda went down to watch TV, while Hank and Olivia celebrated their engagement. Hank told is squad that he and Olivia were engaged and that he was planning to retire to be with Olivia and Noah in New York. The weekend went by fast as they usually did. This particular visit made it even harder for Olivia to leave but they would be together forever soon enough.
