A/N: This is the second part of the chapter titled 'Kiss Me'. I don't own any of the characters.

Taking Things Slowly

Neither of them wanted to break the kiss. They pulled away from each other and then Hank took her hands in his.

"Benson, you have no idea how long I have wanted to do that."

"Oh, I think I do. I want to be with you Hank."

"You do?"

"Yes. More than I have ever wanted anything."

"What are we going to do about that?"

"That depends on if you want to be with me too."

"Of course I want to be with you. I have wanted to be with you since the moment you came into my life. I just didn't know how to do anything about it because I didn't think you felt the same way about me and I also didn't think it could work between us with us being in different cities."

"That's how I was feeling too. I've had feelings for you for a while now too even when I was in the relationship with Ed. I can't fight my feelings for you anymore, Hank. I love you."

"I love you too. What do you suggest we do about this?"

"I don't know. I don't want to rush into sleeping together and then ruin things. Maybe we should take things slow."

"I like that idea. The less anyone knows, the better."

"I agree. Noah and I were going to play tourist and check out the city. Would you be interested in showing us around?"

"I'd love to. I'd also like to take the two of you out to dinner."

"That sounds like a plan."

"Do you like pizza?"

"I love it and so does Noah."

"Great. I'd like to take you to Home Run Inn. It's my favorite pizza place. I'll pick you up at your hotel."

"Sounds great."

They kissed again and then Olivia left Hank's office and then Hank came out. Hank had his stuff, he told everyone he was leaving for the day and then he walked down the stairs. Olivia got Noah and then they left as well. She drove to her hotel and parked the car. Hank was waiting for them. She got Noah's seat out and then Hank put it in his SUV. He then drove them around the city. He took them up to both the Observation Deck of Willis (Sears) Tower and the Hancock Observatory, so they could see the different views of the city.

"Hank, this is beautiful. Chicago does have a beautiful skyline."

"New York is beautiful too."

"It wasn't on 9/11. That's for sure. I kind of miss the way things used to be before that happened."

"I'm sure you do."

They kissed and then Hank picked up Noah and then they decided to go over to Navy Pier to take a ride on the Ferris Wheel. Hank bought their tickets and then they waited to get on.

"Each view is different from the one before."

"Yep. I've seen both the good and the bad in this city."

"Kind of like me with New York. What do you think about Chicago, Noah?"

"I like it."

"Is there anything else you'd like to see?"

"One of the places I've always wanted to see up close because I've seen it on TV is Wrigley Field. It looks like an amazing place."

"It is. We can head up there. You can get the feel for the atmosphere from the outside but there is nothing better than taking in a game."

"Do you go to many games?"

"I get to a few throughout the season. I used to take Justin a lot when he was younger and then I'd take both Justin and Erin."

"Noah loves baseball."

"Well, maybe I'll have to take both of you to a game sometime."

"He'd love that, wouldn't you?"

"Yeah!"

After their ride on the Ferris Wheel was over, they walked around Navy Pier for a little while and then they went back to Hank's SUV, so he could drive up to Wrigley Field. When they got there, Hank parked and then they got out.

"Oh, wow!"

"This is so cool! Mommy, look."

"I see."

They walked around the outside of the ballpark and then they went for pizza. They arrived at the restaurant and went in. They got their table and then decided what they wanted to order. Their server came to take their order and then brought their drinks and the cheesy garlic bread.

"Today was fun."

"It was fun for me too."

"Thank you for taking the time to show us around."

"You're welcome. Anytime."

"I had fun too. Thank you, Hank."

"You're welcome, Noah."

Noah gave Hank a hug and then Olivia leaned over and gave him a kiss.

"This taking things slowly bit is going to be hard."

"Yeah, I know."

"I just don't want to screw things up."

"Don't worry about it. We'll figure it out. I want this to work out as much as you do."

"You're an amazing man, Hank Voight."

"And you're an amazing woman, Olivia Benson."

"This bread is delicious."

"Wait until you try the pizza."

"I can't wait."

Olivia put her hand on the table and then Hank put his hand on hers.

Once the pizza arrived, they ate and then once they were done, Hank drove them back to their hotel.

"Mommy, can Hank read me my story tonight?"

"It's fine with me but you'll have to ask him that."

"Hank, can you read me my story tonight?"

"Sure."

Hank parked his SUV and then the 3 of them walked to the hotel. They walked to the elevator and went up to Olivia and Noah's room. Noah got ready for bed and picked out his story for the night. He got in his bed and got settled with his teddy bear. Hank sat down next to him and read him his story until he fell asleep. Olivia had been sitting on the other bed, so once Noah was asleep, Hank moved over to the other bed. He and Olivia put their arms around each other and started kissing.

"I should go."

"I don't want you to."

"I don't want to go but if we keep doing this, we both know what will happen."

"Don't you want it to?"

"You know I do but we decided to wait."

"I know we did."

"I want the time to be right."

"You're absolutely right."

They kissed again and then she walked Hank to the door. They kissed one more time and then he headed home, while Olivia got ready for bed. Hank got ready for bed with he got home and then he noticed he had a text from Olivia telling him that she had a great time with him. He replied back telling her he did too. He asked if they wanted to spend time with him again and she said they did. He told her he'd pick them up for breakfast. They both went to sleep and the next day, they spent more time together. During the rest of the time Olivia and Noah were in Chicago, they spent time with Hank. Hank had told her that he would come to New York to spend a few days with them soon. She told him she couldn't wait.
