A/N: This takes place after the latest episode of SVU, which aired on 2-7-18. It's a little short. I don't own any of the characters.

I'm Not Going Anywhere

Olivia was upset when Barba left and she could not get over it. Fin, Rollins and Carisi were upset about his departure as well but for the most part, they left her alone. Hank knew Barba left and what had happened but he hadn't been able to make the trip to New York until now. He arrived at the Precinct and went up to SVU. He saw Fin, Rollins and Carisi as soon as he walked in.

"Hey, Voight."

"Hey."

"Is it safe?"

"Out here, yeah. She's being a bitch about everything lately. She hates the new ADA with a passion. He seems like a nice enough guy. He's from Chicago."

"Who?"

"Peter Stone."

"He's a good guy."

"That's what we keep trying to tell her but she tells us we don't know what we're talking about."

Olivia opened her office door and stormed out of her office.

"Did you call the Assistant Dumb Ass about that case?"

"Yes".

"Good. Glad to hear it."

"Olivia, why don't you give the guy a chance?"

"Why should I? Because of him, I lost another best friend. I don't like anyone from Chicago at the moment."

"So, just because I'm from Chicago, then that gives you the right to treat me like crap?"

"You got it."

"You're such a pleasant person to be around, you know that?"

"Thank you."

"That wasn't a compliment."

"Go to hell!"

"That's probably better than being here with you. You just can't deal with change."

"You're right. I can't. Everyone always leaves me. They always do."

Hank grabbed Olivia's hand and took her into her office. They sat down on the sofa and then Hank rubbed her back.

"I may have my faults but I'm not going anywhere. Ever. When I told you I loved you, I meant it. Sure, it's hard as hell dealing with us being in two different cities but we're doing the best we can. You and Noah are my family."

"And you're ours."

"Just give Peter a chance."

"I don't want to."

"He's really not a bad guy. He got justice for Olinsky's daughter and the other victims of that fire."

"I'll think about it but I won't be happy."

"Do you still hate me because I'm from Chicago?"

"No. I never did. I just miss Barba so much."

"I know you do but it's not Peter's fault. He left on his own, didn't he?"

"Yes."

Olivia kissed Hank and then he wrapped his arms around her.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"Thank you for being here. Do you really think being in hell would be better than being here with me?"

"No. There is nothing better than being here with you."

"You are so sweet."

"I try. When does our boy get home?"

"We still have a few hours yet."

"Let's go."

Hank and Olivia got up and she grabbed her coat and purse. She took Hank's hand and they walked out of her office. Peter was there talking to the rest of the squad.

"Peter."

"Hank."

"Sorry to hear about your father."

"Thank you. Lieutenant."

"Mr. Stone."

"I know you don't like me very much and blame me for Rafael leaving. I can assure you that I had nothing to do with that. I'm not him and I'm not trying to be."

"I know that. I just don't deal with change very well sometimes and I may have overreacted a little."

Hank gave Olivia a look.

"Ok, I overreacted a lot. It may take me a while to get used to your way of doing things but I've heard that you do get the job done."

"I do. I'm looking forward to seeing more of how SVU does things."

"This Unit deals with a lot and it can be hard to take sometimes, especially if our victim is a child."

"That's what I've heard."

"Fin, we're going to go. Please don't call me unless you really need me."

"You got it, Liv."

Olivia and Hank left and headed to her apartment. When they got there, they went to the bedroom and made love before they both walked to meet Noah at school. They arrived just as he was walking out of the building. When he saw them, he ran to them.

"Mommy!"

"Hey, Baby. How was your day?"

"Good. Hank!"

"Hey."

Noah gave both of them a hug and then the 3 of them walked back to the apartment. Olivia fixed something for dinner and then they spent time together. Having Hank around seemed to change Olivia's mood drastically. She felt more relaxed and enjoyed just being in Hank's arms. Even though the visit didn't start out on the right foot, Hank hoped he was able to convince her to eventually give Peter a chance.
