A/N: I couldn't resist writing the beginning the way I did. He is getting on my last nerve. I don't own any of the characters.

Hank and Al were both injured in a gang shootout that took the life of Intelligence nemesis, Denny Woods. They warned him to stay out of the way but Denny being Denny chose not to listen and it cost him his life. Both Hank and Al required surgery and would need assistance when they went home. Hank more so than Al. Hank was hit in the knee and Al in the shoulder. Trudy called Meredith and she was at the hospital while Al was in surgery. Trudy wasn't so lucky with Hank. She tried Erin first but she was out of town indefinitely on an assignment. She then tried Olive but she wasn't available either. Her only other option was Olivia. She knew that Hank and Olivia had an on again off again relationship and right now, they were off again and had been for a while. Erin and Olive were both in Chicago and them saying they weren't available was all part of their plot to get Hank and Olivia back together for good. Trudy dreaded making this call but she really had no other choice and she would not take no for an answer.

"Benson."

"Olivia, it's Trudy Platt."

"What's going on, Trudy?"

"Hank was shot and someone needs to stay with him once he gets released from the hospital."

"Absolutely not."

"Why?"

"He told me that until I could get my act together, he didn't even want to talk to me. That was 6 months ago and I have moved on. I recently started seeing someone. I can't drop everything here to fly out there for someone who doesn't even want to see me let alone speak to me. Why can't Erin fly out there?"

"She said she had an assignment that she'd be out of town for indefinitely."

"Yeah, conveniently. What about Olive?"

"She wasn't available either."

"That's also pretty convenient."

"I'm not taking no for an answer, Lieutenant."

"I outrank you, Sergeant."

"So, you'll be here when?"

"Damn it!"

Olivia hung up the phone and explained things to Noah and Lucy before making the arrangements for her flight even though they both knew what was going on. Erin had already texted Lucy and told her what had happened. After Trudy hung up, she smirked to herself. She was going to get them back together yet. She went back to the waiting room where everyone else was.

"Did you get someone to come stay with Voight?"

"I got Olivia to do it."

"How did you manage that? They weren't even speaking the last I heard."

"You have to have patience. This was all Erin and Olive's idea in the first place."

"We just think this is getting ridiculous."

"Well, she didn't quite buy the fact that neither of you were available to stay with him."

"Well for crying out loud, they have been on again and off again since they first met."

"She claims she has a new guy in her life."

"That's a bunch of crap! Lucy and I share an apartment, so I'd know if there was another guy. Noah keeps saying how much he misses Hank. No way!"

"Is her squad in on this too?'

"Oh, yeah! We all are. They just have to realize they're in love and can't live without each other. You should have told her it was critical."

"I wasn't going to do that. I already told her that I wasn't going to take no for an answer though. You all know how persuasive I can be."

"Oh, yeah."

By the time Hank got out of surgery, Erin and Olive spent some time with him and then they went to their hotel, so Daniel could swim. Several hours later, Olivia arrived in Chicago and really wasn't happy. She got a cab and went to Med. When she arrived, she paid the driver and went in. After she found out where Hank was, she went up to his room. Everyone was gone and had gone back to work. When she walked into Hank's room, she saw him lying there and he looked so helpless. Maybe he wouldn't be upset with her any longer. She stroked his hair and then she kissed his forehead. She pulled the chair up next to the bed, sat down and took Hank's hand in hers. She laced her fingers through his and waited for him to wake up. She dozed off for a while and then Hank woke up. He was still pretty out of it but he saw that someone was holding his hand. His eyes focused on the sleeping form next to his bed. He couldn't believe it. He still loved her but they were both stubborn and said some things they didn't mean. He gripped her hand tighter and then she woke up.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"Don't try to talk. Just hear me out. Ok?"

"Ok."

"Listen, I know we both said some things we didn't mean the last time we spoke that we were both hurt by. We both knew the distance thing was going to be hard and it's not that we didn't try because we both did. We can't keep doing this. We're at each other's throats one minute and the next, we can't keep our hands off each other. Personally, I think we're a little too old for that.

Hank couldn't help but smirk. Neither of them could deny the sex was amazing.

"Hank, I'm confused about all this and I know this is been confusing for Noah as well. I figured after we got back together the last time, it would be for good."

"I know."

Olivia kept leaning closer to Hank until their lips met and they were kissing. Trudy had come back as had Erin and they had peeked into Hank's room. When they saw them kissing, they gave each other a high five. Olivia heard something in the hallway, so she got up and crept out of the room. She saw both Erin and Trudy.

"Liv, hey!"

"I should have known! Out of town indefinitely for an assignment, huh?"

"Well technically I am out of town. You mad?"

"No. I think I needed this. I've been trying to think about what I wanted to say to him and this helped because I had the entire flight to think about it. I assume my squad, my son and his nanny know about this?"

"That would be correct. Olive knows too and she's also here."

Then Olivia gave Trudy a look.

"Well, I had to do something. The man is miserable without you."

The 3 of them went into Hank's room and he was asleep again.

"Are you two going to try again?"

"I will if he will."

"I will too."

"Hank, you're not asleep."

"I am too."

"I guess helping him out when he goes home will be a start."

"I'll do what I can too either with him or with Noah. Lucy already knows that."

"That'll help. Thanks."

"Sure."

"I thought you were seeing someone."

"What?"

"Go back to sleep, Hank! I was just upset because of our last conversation. That's all. I don't want to be with anyone else. Ever. We just have a lot we need to work out but hopefully we can use our time together wisely to resolve things."

Olivia kissed Hank's cheek and then she stayed by his side until he was released from the hospital. She ended up staying with him for a couple weeks after he got out and they spent that time sorting through their differences. By the time she went back to New York, they had become closer than ever. The subject of marriage had even come up and for once, they seemed to be agreeing on a lot.
