A/N: This is the third part to the last two chapters. I don't own any of the characters.

I Believe You

Hank decided to go home as his heart really wasn't into doing his job at the moment. He'd be lying if he said he didn't love Olivia because he did. He wanted to believe her but the fact was, it still hurt like hell because it had happened. He played what she had said to him in his office over in his mind. He did know that it was possible for them to be drunk enough not to remember what had happened. Maybe she was telling the truth. He texted Olivia and asked her if she could come over to his house. She replied and said she'd be over as soon as she could. When she arrived, she parked the car and went to ring the doorbell. He went to answer the door.

"Hey."

"Hey. I'm glad you called."

"I am too. Come on in."

"Thanks."

Olivia walked in and then Hank took her coat. They went into the living room and sat down.

"I believe your story. I'm not saying I completely forgive you but I understand why you had such a hard time telling me."

"I love you more than I have ever loved anyone and that's why I had such a hard time. I knew I hurt you when I woke up that morning. I didn't want to believe that I was capable of doing something like that but a part of me realized that we all make mistakes because we're human. That's exactly what this was. A huge mistake."

"I've done a lot that I'm not too proud of. I just need to know that you do love me."

"I do. I would never intentionally hurt you for any reason. I swear to you. Not that it makes it right but I'm actually glad that it was with Trevor and not some random guy."

"That makes me feel good to know that."

"I am so sorry and that is coming from the bottom of my heart."

Olivia started kissing Hank.

"I love you more than you could possibly know."

"I know. I do love you. I'm just not ready to jump into bed with you right now though."

"I understand. I just want you to know that my heart belongs to you and only you."

"Mine too."

Olivia kissed Hank again and then he wrapped his arms around her in a hug. Rollins and Carisi were arriving in New York. They went right to the Precinct. Fin of course was there by himself.

"Hey, Fin."

"Hey."

"Where's Liv?"

"She went to Chicago. She needed to talk to Voight about something."

"Ok."

Then Trevor came in.

"Hey."

"Hey, Langan."

"Is Lieutenant Benson here?"

"No. She went to talk to her boyfriend in Chicago."

"Ah. That's a good thing then."

Rollins and Carisi went to get coffee.

"I know what happened with you and Liv."

"It wasn't on purpose. I care about her and I have for a long time but there is no way that I would have done what we supposedly did intentionally."

"Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't she have known if the two of you had done something? You're not a small guy, which is what I'm gettin' at."

"That's a good point. Could I use Olivia's office?"

"Yeah, sure."

Trevor went into Olivia's office and called her cell.

"Hey."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"How did you feel physically after that night?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm at the Precinct and Detective Tutuola mentioned that you would have known if we had done something, since I'm not a small guy. Do you think maybe we thought we had sex but we really just slept naked together?"

"Honestly, maybe you're right. I didn't feel like we had had sex."

"Is everything ok with you and Hank?"

"He's upset, which I expected him to be but he believes my story. He knows that I love him and he does still love me. Listen, I want to thank you for not being such a jerk about what happened."

"Don't worry about it. I care about you and have for a while."

"I told Hank that I was glad that it happened with you and not some random guy I picked up in a bar, especially if something did happen."

"I feel the same way. If I had been more with it than you were, I would never take advantage of you or hurt you in any way. I respect you too much."

"I appreciate that. I just wish we knew for sure."

"Yeah, I know. I'll let you go."

"Ok. Thanks."

Olivia hung up the phone and told Hank what Trevor had said. Trevor headed back to his office.

"How'd the case go, you two?"

"Fine."

"Good."

Rollins and Carisi sat down at their respective desks and then Fin saw Carisi wink at Rollins.

"What the hell was that?"

"Nothin'."

"Bull. Is there somethin' goin' on with you two?"

"No way! We're colleagues."

"Right. We're colleagues."

"Uh huh."

"Drop it, Fin, ok?"

"I ain't droppin' nothin'. You better hope Liv doesn't find out about whatever this is."

"Oh, you mean like the way we found out she was with Tucker?"

"That was just wrong from the beginning. I'm glad she's with Voight."

"We are too. He seemed upset though."

"You'd be too if the person you loved was in another city and you couldn't see them as often as you wanted to."

"Fin."

"Yeah."

"Rollins and I do have feelings for each other."

"No shit, Sherlock! That's a little obvious. What the hell happened in West Virginia anyway?"

"We almost kissed but Rollins decided to keep it professional."

"Then I may have slept with the bartender and that made someone jealous."

"Now, we're gettin' somewhere!"

"Carisi had some blonde bimbo flirtin' with him at Molly's and then she kissed him."

"Were you jealous?"

"Yeah, I was. That helped me admit my true feelings for him. What's up with Langan?"

"Nothin'."

"Liv cheated on Voight, didn't she?"

"If Liv wants to tell you, she'll tell you. She confided in me. That's all."

"Why would she tell you over me?"

"Because I was here and I've known her longer. I think she just needed to tell someone."

"Then she did."

"I didn't say that."

"We have ways of finding out, you know."

"Drop it. Whatever happened is between her and Voight and doesn't concern us. If she wants to talk about it, she'll talk about it."

They got a call for a case, so they went wherever they were supposed to go. Olivia and Hank spent time repairing their relationship. She knew that he needed time to be able to completely forgive her for what may or may not have happened between her and Trevor but they were at least talking about it. Olivia hoped that things between them would be back to where they once were soon enough but she knew not to push it because she didn't want to drive him away completely. Hank also had a feeling that they were on the right track. He knew she was sorry for what had happened but he also knew that they had a lot to deal with on the road to being together. Whatever happens, they'd find a way to get through it somehow.
