Proposal
Olivia had taken a job with CPD, so she and Noah had moved to Chicago and in with Hank. They ended up getting a new house, since Olivia felt uncomfortable living in the same house that Hank lived in with Camille. Hank had been fine with that. The fact that they were together was enough for him but he wanted them to make their own memories as a family. Since Noah was in school full-time and since they no longer had a nanny, Olivia and Hank alternated days picking him up at school. They were making it work the best they could. If Noah got sick, Hank would be the one to take off, since he actually had more time to take off than Olivia did and he trusted his squad to solve cases without him.
The only thing they really hadn't talked about was marriage. Olivia kind of assumed that it would be the next step for them because they were a family in all but name and Hank had mentioned that he would like to adopt Noah to make it official with him. Olivia figured he could finalize the adoption and she could have both names changed at one time but she rarely mentioned it to Hank, since she was unsure how he felt about getting married again and she didn't want to upset him.
It was just before Christmas and Noah had been at a sleepover at a friend's house, so she and Hank were home by themselves. She got home before he did, took a quick shower and made a romantic dinner for the two of them. She also had a fire going in the fireplace. Hank arrived home and she could tell right away that he was tired.
"Hey."
"Hey, Honey. Long day?"
"Yeah. You cooked?"
"I did. I wanted to do something special for you."
"You're too much."
Hank kissed Olivia and then he went to take a quick shower before dinner. By the time he was done, dinner was ready. They ate dinner, had dessert and cleaned up before moving into the family room to sit in front of the fire. Olivia had put blankets and pillows on the floor.
"What's the occasion?'
"There's no occasion. I just figured we could have a romantic night, since Noah is gone until morning. We could just stay here and make love in front of the fire."
"That sounds like a plan to me."
Hank sat down on the blankets, while Olivia shut all the lights except for the tree off. They started kissing, undressed each other and then they made love. Afterwards they were under the blankets holding each other.
"You definitely know what I need after a long day."
"Just like you usually know what I need too. I think I am becoming more and more in love with you every day. I wasn't sure I how quickly I would adjust to being here but you made the transition easy for both of us. Noah really loves it here. He keeps asking me when you're going to be his daddy."
"I want to be his daddy more than anything."
"Good. That'll make him happy."
They started kissing again.
"Hank."
"Yeah."
"Can I ask you something?"
"You can ask me anything. You know that."
"Will you marry me?"
"You're asking me to marry you?"
"Yeah."
"I thought I was supposed to ask you."
"There's nothing that says the woman can't ask the man she loves to be her husband. Will you be my husband?"
"Yes, of course I will. Where's my ring?"
"I didn't get one."
"Well, then I guess it's a good thing that I got one for you."
Hank pulled the box out of his robe pocket and opened it.
"You already asked me, so I guess it's my turn to ask you."
"You already know my answer."
"Just let me do this?"
"I already proposed and you accepted."
"I know. Will you marry me?"
"Yes!"
Hank put the ring on Olivia's finger and then they kissed.
"I wasn't sure if you wanted to get married again but you keep mentioning about adopting Noah and that we're a family. I thought that maybe I could change my name and Noah's name at the same time."
"At first I wasn't sure how I felt about marrying again. I did ask you to live with me when you moved here, so I knew we were going to have to make it official eventually. I've actually had the ring for a while but I wanted the moment to be perfect when I finally asked you. You can change both names at the same time if that's what you want."
"Did I ruin the moment for you?"
"No. I actually thought about doing this tonight, since we had the whole night to ourselves. You just beat me too it. I think it's adorable that you proposed to me."
"I love you so much."
"I love you too."
Hank and Olivia kissed and then they made love again to celebrate their engagement. Hank turned the tree off and let the fire burn out in the fireplace before they fell asleep in each other's arms. The next morning, Hank got up, put his robe on, went into the bathroom and then made breakfast. It was ready before Olivia was awake, so he brought it into the family room.
"Good morning."
"Morning."
"Breakfast is ready."
"I need to go to the bathroom first."
"Ok."
Olivia got up, put her robe on and went into the bathroom. Then she came back and they ate. After breakfast, they made love and then they went to take a shower. After they were dressed, Olivia took a picture of her left hand and sent it to her friends in New York. They left to go pick up Noah. Olivia went in to get him, while Hank waited in the SUV.
"Hey, Sweetie."
"Hi Mommy."
They went out to the SUV and Noah got in before Olivia shut the door. Hank started driving back home.
"Guess what?"
"What?"
"Hank and I are getting married."
"You are? When?"
"We haven't decided that yet but we're engaged."
Olivia showed Noah her left hand.
"That's pretty. Does that mean that Hank is finally going to be my daddy?"
"Yep."
"I can't wait."
"I can't wait either."
"I feel the same way."
"I am planning to change my last name and your last name at the same time. Hank just has to make it official with both of us."
"We can be engaged for however long you want to. If you want to get married in a few months, we can get married in a few months. If you want to wait a year, we can wait a year."
"Sounds like a plan to me."
Olivia got responses to her picture and everyone was happy for her. Hank arrived at home and they spent the entire day watching Christmas movies together. Olivia was excited to finally be planning her wedding to the man she loved.
