A/N: I realize there have been issues with the site and story alerts, so if you haven't read it already, I posted Chapter 20 to this story and Chapter 35 to Townhouse Incident – The Crossover. As always, I don't own any of the characters.
Mother's Day
When Olivia married Hank and moved to Chicago, she knew that she would have new traditions for all holidays and Mother's Day would be no different. Until Noah came into her life, Olivia never really did much for Mother's Day but even though she never had the best relationship with Serena, she'd visit her grave as often as she could. She missed her more than she thought she would. She would even take Noah to the cemetery.
This Mother's Day was different. It was her first one as a wife, a stepmother and a grandma. While she never knew Justin, she had become close to both Olive and Daniel. When Hank found out that Erin was his daughter, nothing had changed between her and Erin. In fact, she always referred to both Erin and Olive as her girls and they both had a better relationship with her than they did with their own mothers.
Hank knew she missed her former squad terribly since moving to Chicago. She continued working as part of Intelligence but she handled the sexual assault cases and as always, she had to keep her husband in line. Olivia had gotten into work after everyone else as they had to handle a case in the early morning hours. The squad had come back from a case and Hank had walked into their shared office.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"What's wrong?"
"It's almost Mother's Day and I have been thinking about my mom a lot lately. I know we didn't have the best relationship. I still miss her and she's been gone a while now. It makes me sad sometimes. Sometimes I wish she could have been around to meet Noah."
"Come here. You know I hate seeing you sad."
Olivia got up and went over to Hank. He wrapped his arms around her and held her. Then he pulled something out of the pocket of his leather jacket.
"What's this?"
"Plane tickets."
"I see that. Why?"
"Oh, I don't know. I thought my beautiful wife would like to spend Mother's Day in New York. I know how much you miss it."
"You're too much. You know that?"
"That's what you keep telling me. This is for the 6 of us. Olive and Daniel are flying in from Phoenix and then they will fly with us to New York. I thought you might still want to do some of your traditions for Mother's Day like visiting your mom's grave. Fin made reservations for 10 of us at your favorite restaurant on Sunday."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Olivia kissed Hank.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
After they got through the day and picked up Noah from the sitter, they went home and got their things together. Erin came to the house and left her car there, so Hank drove to the airport. After they arrived and got checked in, Hank looked to see if the flight from Phoenix had arrived yet and it just had. Hank texted Olive and told her they would meet them after security. They went through security and then waited for Olive and Daniel before continuing to the gate. They saw them coming through security.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"Papa! Gama! Noah! Auntie!"
"Hey, Daniel."
Daniel ran over to Hank and gave him a big hug. Hank picked him up and then he was at the right height to kiss Olivia and Erin. He put him down and then he hugged Noah. Olive hugged everyone and then they all headed to the gate to wait for their flight.
"How was he on the flight?"
"Pretty good actually."
"Good."
"Mommy, will we get to see Lucy?"
"Probably."
"Jesse too?"
"Uncle Fin made dinner reservations for 10 of us, so that includes Jesse."
"Yay!"
"What are the sleeping arrangements?"
"We have adjoining rooms."
"Boys in one room and girls in the other?"
"No. Parents in one room and kids in the other."
"Oh, yay! I get to share a bed with my 3-year old brother!"
Hank gave Erin a look.
"I still think that it would be better if it was boys in one room and girls in the other."
"I'm paying for this trip, so I get to sleep with Olivia. How about that?"
"Are you two seriously fighting over who gets to sleep in the same room with me?"
"She started it."
"Henry Voight, just stop it right now!"
Erin looked at Hank and stuck out her tongue.
"Keep it up, Erin and you'll be looking for another job."
"You wouldn't dare! You are an ass!"
"Don't say that word, Erin. That's a bad word. It's not nice. Mommy says to say nice words."
"Erin, listen to your brother and don't talk to your father like that."
"Sorry."
"Don't apologize to me. Apologize to him."
"Sorry, Daddy."
"It's ok, kiddo. If this is about you and Halstead, you'll get back together soon."
"Honestly, I don't care if we do or not."
"Yeah, you do."
"What happened with you and Jay?"
"It turns out, he was married and he thought he was divorced but she never signed the papers. She brought him a new set of papers to sign because she said she was going to marry someone else. He signed them but she still hasn't. She told him she still loves him. He moved out of the apartment and in with his brother."
"Oh, wow! I'm sorry to hear that."
"Thanks."
Erin had tears running down her cheeks.
"The only thing that seems to be going right for me lately is my family. I suck at relationships."
"I used to say the same thing. It took me how many tries before I found the one that was not only willing to put up with me for the rest of my life but also understood my job. You have that with Jay whether he's married or not."
"I guess."
"Come here, kid."
Erin went over to Hank and put her head on his shoulder and he put his arm around her and Noah crawled up on her lap. A little later, they boarded the plane and then it took off for New York. Several hours later, they arrived in New York, got the luggage and went to get the rental, which Olivia offered to drive. As soon as they left the car rental place and started heading to the Plaza Hotel, they got stuck in traffic.
"Is this the reason Olivia offered to drive?"
"She knows all the short cuts. That's why."
Someone cut Olivia off, so she blew the horn but the other driver gave her the finger.
"That's nice."
"Admit it, you miss this."
"Not really."
They got through the tie up and then they arrived at the hotel. They got checked in and went up to their rooms. Hank and Olivia's room had a king size bed and the other room had two queen size beds. There was a knock at the adjoining door, so Hank opened it. Noah came running in and jumped up on their bed with Daniel not too far behind.
"Can we sleep here?"
"Not tonight. Go get ready for bed and we'll come in to say goodnight."
"Ok."
The boys went back into their room and Erin and Olive got them ready for bed. Hank and Olivia went into the other room to tuck Noah in. They kissed both boys and then they hugged Erin and Olive before they went back into their room and shut and locked the door.
"Alone at last."
"I like the sound of that."
They got on the bed and started kissing. Olivia started unbuttoning Hank's shirt and then heard her phone ring.
"Don't answer that."
"I wasn't planning on it."
They continued kissing, undressed each other and then they made love. Afterwards they were holding each other and Olivia checked her phone.
"It's Fin wanting to know if we wanted to meet them for breakfast in the morning."
"Sure."
Olivia texted Fin back and then she and Hank fell asleep in each other's arms. The next morning, Hank and Olivia got up and took a shower, since they didn't know what time they were meeting Fin, Rollins, Carisi and Jesse. While they were in the shower, Fin texted her back and told her what time. After they were out of the shower, Olivia texted Fin back confirming that the time was fine and then once they got dressed, they knocked on the adjoining door. Erin answered it.
"What?"
"Good morning to you too. We're meeting Fin, Rollins, Carisi and Jesse for breakfast at 8."
"Ok. As soon as Olive gets out of the shower, I'll get in there."
"Morning, Mommy. Morning, Daddy."
"Morning, Baby."
"Morning, Buddy."
"Papa! Gama!"
"Morning, Sweetie."
"We're having breakfast with Fin, Amanda, Jesse and Sonny this morning."
"Yay! What about Rafi?"
"Uncle Fin didn't mention him."
Olive got out of the shower and then Erin went in. Hank and Olivia got the boys dressed and took them into their room, so Olive and Erin could finish getting ready. Once everyone was ready, they went to meet everyone for breakfast. Everyone arrived at the same time and that also included Barba and Lucy.
"Hey!"
"Hey, Fin."
"Noah!"
"Jesse!"
Noah let go of Hank's hand and ran to give Jesse and hug.
"Lucy!"
"Hey, Noah."
Noah gave Lucy a hug as well.
"Liv, you look great. Marriage seems to be agreeing with you."
"Thanks. It's been amazing so far."
Olivia hugged everyone and then they went into the restaurant and got their table.
"So, how are things?"
"They're fine. Chief Dodds is being a pain in the you know what though."
"That's nothing new."
They had their order taken and then Olivia went to the washroom. When she came out, she nearly crashed into Ed.
"Hey, Olivia."
"Hey, Ed."
"Things are good?"
"Yeah. You heard I got married, right?
"Yeah. You're where, Chicago now?"
"Yep. How's retirement?"
"It's great. I've been doing some traveling. Chicago is on my list of places to visit."
"Yeah, I love it."
"Does Noah like it?"
"He does. Why don't you stop over at our table and say hi?"
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"Ok."
Ed followed Olivia to the table.
"Well, look who's here."
"Hi Tucker."
"Hey, Noah. How are you?"
"I'm good."
"You must be Hank. I'm Ed Tucker."
"Yes, I'm Hank. Good to meet you."
"You too."
"This is my daughter, Erin, my daughter-in-law, Olive and my grandson, Daniel."
"Nice to meet you."
"Daddy, I have to go potty."
"Ok."
Hank got up, kissed Olivia and took Noah to the bathroom.
"I should go. I need to meet someone. It was nice to see you again, Olivia and it was nice meeting the rest of you."
Ed left in a hurry.
"Someone's jealous."
"I think so."
"That was the IAB guy?"
"Yep. Don't ask me why I became involved with him because I don't have an answer."
Hank and Noah came back just as the food arrived.
"Did Tucker leave?"
"Yeah. I think he was a little jealous because I've moved on."
"Liv, we have to say, you seem so much happier since you've been with Voight than you did in the year you were with Tucker."
"That's because I am. I kept trying to convince myself that I was happy with him but honestly, I didn't know what I wanted. I hated what that did to my friendships with the 4 of you but you stuck with me through it all. Not to mention the feelings I had for a certain Chicago Sergeant. Thank you all for putting up with me."
"You're welcome, Liv. We all knew you felt somethin' for Voight."
"You did, huh?"
"Oh yeah! It was so obvious."
"Yeah, all of us noticed it too. I'm so glad it finally happened between you two."
"So am I."
"Me too."
Everyone ate and then they all went to the Zoo. The Voight Family headed back to the hotel and went swimming and stayed there for dinner. Everyone went to bed and then Hank got up early as did Erin, so they could order a special Mother's Day breakfast for Olivia and Olive. Hank went out and found flowers for both of them and Hank picked some up for Serena's grave as well. After he came back and breakfast arrived, the boys got their mothers up and everyone ate breakfast. After breakfast, everyone got ready and then they went to the cemetery. Olivia took the flowers, walked to her mother's grave and knelt down.
"Hey, Mom. Happy Mother's Day! I know I haven't been around much lately. I finally got married and Noah and I moved to Chicago. Hank is so amazing, Mom. I know I was a big disappointment to you most of my life and we never really had much of a relationship but I want you to know that I love you and still do. I do miss you too. I'm sorry if you thought I ruined your life and if I was the reason you drank. I just wanted you to love me and I wanted us to have a real mother-daughter relationship but I understand why we didn't because I was a reminder of what happened to you. Believe me, I get it."
Tears started falling down Olivia's face as she kissed her hand and touched Serena's gravestone. The rest of the family joined her. She stood up and buried her face in Hank's chest as he wrapped his arms around her.
"This is my family, Mom. I wish you were here to meet them all."
Olivia handed Noah the flowers and he put them on the grave. Hank took Olivia's hand and they all headed back to the SUV. They went back to the hotel and went swimming for a while before they met Fin, Carisi, Amanda and Jesse for dinner. The next day, they went to the airport and Hank, Olivia, Erin and Noah said their goodbyes to Olive and Daniel, who had a flight from New York to Phoenix. Olive told Hank they would come back to Chicago to visit them soon. Everyone went their separate ways to wait for their respective flights.
