A/N: Happy New Year, everyone! I'm only a few days late with this one. This one is pretty short. As always, I don't own any of the characters.

Home by Midnight

Olivia always worried about Hank but when Intelligence had gotten a call about a case on New Year's Eve, it made her worry even more. Chicago had been having some very cold weather and she always had to remind him to wear something other than his usual leather jacket when he went out. This particular New Year's Eve, Olivia had been laid up in bed. She had fallen and broke her ankle in several places, so she ended up needing surgery. Hank had taken time off when she had the surgery and when she came home. Olive and Daniel had come to Chicago for the Holidays, so Olive was spending time with Olivia but they were returning to Arizona right after New Year's. Noah's nanny was off for the Holidays but would be returning around the time Olive was leaving, so she would help Olivia out with whatever she needed help with when Hank was at work but she would also have to get Noah to and from school once he went back. The thing Olivia wanted more than anything this year was to be able to kiss her husband at Midnight. The case had gotten done sooner than expected and pretty much everyone was headed to Molly's to join in the celebration with the Firefighters from 51 and the doctors and nurses from Med.

"Hey, Boss, you comin' to Molly's?"

"No. I want to be home by Midnight, so I can kiss my wife. This is the first New Year's I have been able to do that in a long time."

"How's she doing?"

"She's doing better."

"One drink?"

"No. Why don't all of you come over for dinner tomorrow? Olive made a huge lasagna and I'm sure Olivia would love to see everyone."

"What time?"

"4 o'clock?"

"That's fine. We'll be there."

"Great. Happy New Year, everyone!"

"You too."

Hank left and headed downstairs. He went outside and had remote started his SUV before he left his office, so it was warm when he got in. He headed home and when he got there, he parked in the garage. He went into the house and Olive was in the living room watching TV. Hank took his hat, gloves, scarf, boots and coat off.

"Hey, Olive."

"Hey."

"I invited the squad over for dinner about 4 tomorrow."

"Sounds like a plan to me."

"Is Olivia asleep?"

"She was watching TV upstairs the last I checked. I just made her some tea a little bit ago."

Hank went over and hugged Olive.

"Happy New Year, kid."

"Happy New Year, Hank."

Hank kissed Olive's cheek and went upstairs. He looked in on the boys, who were both sound asleep and kissed them both on their heads. He then went into the bedroom.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"You ok?"

"Yeah. I just missed you."

"I missed you too but I told you I'd be home by Midnight."

"You did."

"Let me get ready for bed."

"Ok."

Hank went into the bathroom to get ready for bed and brush his teeth. Then he went back into the bedroom.

"I have to pee."

"Ok."

Hank helped Olivia up, gave her the crutches and walked her to the bathroom. Once she was done, she washed her hands and brushed her teeth and then Hank helped her back to bed. He got into bed as well.

"I invited the squad for dinner tomorrow."

"That's great."

"They wanted me to go to Molly's with them but I promised to be here with you by Midnight."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Hank kissed Olivia and then he wrapped his arms around her after he turned the light off. They watched TV for a while. Hank put on the Chicago New Year's Eve celebration and kept that on until Midnight. Hank kissed Olivia.

"Happy New Year, Babe!"

"Happy New Year, Honey!"

They kissed again and then they fell asleep in each other's arms.
