A/N: Just something I came up with. Hope you enjoy it. I don't own any of the characters.

Fireworks

Hank was happy that the whole family was spending the 4th together. Olivia, Noah and Erin were coming in from New York and Olive and Daniel were coming in from Arizona. They were all planning to spend time on his boat that was docked at Monroe Harbor. His favorite thing to do was take the boat out and spend some time fishing. Sometimes he would disappear for hours, which he had done quite a bit lately since Al had died. This was the first time the entire family was spending time together on the boat. He had wanted to teach Noah and Daniel to fish and he had invited Jay to join them, so the 4 of them could fish and the girls could relax and do nothing. He had also planned to watch the fireworks from the boat docked at the Harbor. He had a surprise for Olivia and he wanted everything to be perfect.

Everyone was arriving on Tuesday but they were staying until Sunday. The squad had been busy on and off but they were still trying to cope with losing Olinsky. Hank was in his office and Adam had come in.

"Hey, Boss."

"Hey, Ruzek."

"You have big plans for the 4th?"

"We're spending the day out on the boat and I want to teach the boys to fish. Halstead is coming with us and the girls are going to relax."

"That sounds like a great day."

"We're also planning to watch the fireworks from the Harbor."

"Things are good between you and Lieutenant Benson?"

"Great."

Jay was standing in the doorway.

"Ruzek, get back to work."

"You're not the boss of me, Jay."

"Ruzek, get back to work."

"Got it, Sarge."

Adam went back to his desk.

"Did you pick it up at lunch time?"

"Yeah. Shut the door."

Jay shut the door and went over to Hank's desk. Hank opened one of the drawers and pulled a small bag out. He took the box out of the bag, opened it and showed it to Jay.

"That's beautiful."

"Thanks. When is Erin getting one of these?"

"We're taking it slow this time. I had wanted to propose a year ago but she left Chicago. I gave her the space I thought she needed and we're taking things day by day. I think we needed some time apart to realize how much we still love each other. Although the long distance thing isn't easy."

"I know that. Olivia and I have been doing this for over a year now. It's time for us to be in the same city."

Trudy had come up with Olivia, Erin, Olive and the boys but they had stopped to talk to everyone else. Hank put the box back in the bag and put the bag back in the drawer before he and Jay went out to the Bullpen.

"Hank!"

"Papa!"

Both boys ran over to Hank and hugged him. Then they both hugged Jay. Olivia came over and kissed Hank and then Olive and Erin both hugged him before Erin kissed Jay.

"I can't wait to be on the boat all day tomorrow. I have been working so much lately."

"Me too."

"How's Arizona, Olive?"

"It's great but it's hot."

"It's been hot here too."

"Yeah, I noticed that on the news. I wanted to find out how bad it was going to be when we were here."

"New York hasn't been much better. The heat brings all the crazy people out."

"It does here too. That's how we stay busy."

"When are you moving to New York, Sarge?"

"I have no idea."

"Lieutenant Benson and Noah should move to Chicago. She can take over Intelligence."

"Wait a minute, Intelligence is my Unit!"

"Well, it sounds like they would rather have me be in charge."

"We're just messin' with you, Sarge. It hasn't been the same around here since Olinsky died."

"I know."

"Lieutenant, are you looking for any more Detectives?"

"I would love to get another Detective. That way I can cut back on being out in the field as much as I am. Fin doesn't particularly like being second in command though but he does a great job."

"How long are you staying, Lieutenant?"

"Until Sunday."

"Hank, can we go to the Fire Station?"

"Sure. Trudy, is Mouch working today?"

"He sure is."

"Antonio, how's Gabby?"

"It sounds like she's doing ok. Just don't mention her to Casey when you see him. I don't blame him for being upset though. She left without discussing it with him. As far as I'm concerned, he's still family. Our dad of course supports her. Our mom thinks Gabby was wrong to just up and leave. I know what that's like. Laura just up and left me and took Eva and Diego because she couldn't deal with my job anymore. Gabby was there for me then but I feel bad for Matt because I know what he's been through."

"Gabby and Matt didn't want to deal with long distance?"

"No. They started drifting apart. She was told that if she got pregnant, she may not survive because of the aneurysm she has in the abdominal area. He's fine with going the adoption route. After they lost Louie to his real father, she didn't want to go through that again. She still wanted to try to conceive and said it was basically only her choice. She was basically treating him like crap. She left to go to Puerto Rico to help with relief efforts and she didn't even discuss it with him before she decided to go. I know my sister and I know how stubborn she can be better than anyone. I love her but she was wrong for not discussing it with her husband first."

"Adopting was the best thing I could have done. I wanted to be a mother and that finally happened. It's not an easy process by any means but he's my entire life. I think I have finally gotten this relationship thing right. I think something long distance was exactly what I needed."

"You two have any plans to get hitched?"

"We haven't discussed it."

"Ok, guys, you ready to head to the Fire Station?"

"Yeah!"

Hank went into his office and got what he needed.

"I'm thinking about having a barbeque this weekend. I'll let you know when."

"Ok."

Hank picked up Daniel and then they headed over to the Fire Station. After spending some time there, they met up with Erin and Jay for dinner. Once they got home, the boys watched a little TV before they got their story. After the boys were in bed, Olive went to bed and Hank and Olivia went into his bedroom to make love. Afterwards they were holding each other.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"Do you not want to get married again? You changed the subject in a hurry when we were asked about it earlier. We've been together over a year and the subject hasn't come up at all in that time. Have I done something wrong?"

"No, of course not. I do want to get married again."

"To me?"

"Of course to you. I've been in this from the beginning."

"Then why did you change the subject?"

"Because I didn't want to get into it with them. You know I love you."

"Do you?"

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"I'm tired, Hank. Let's just go to sleep."

Olivia turned over and Hank turned to face the other way. Olivia started crying, so Hank turned onto his other side and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her cheek, neck and shoulder.

"You know I love you, Olivia. Don't ever doubt that. Just please stop crying, ok?"

Hank felt Olivia lace her fingers though his.

"I love you too."

He got her to relax and then they fell asleep. The next morning, they got up, got ready and had breakfast. They packed what they needed and after Erin and Jay came over, they all headed to the Harbor. They boarded the boat and Hank took it away from the Harbor and went to the same area he had been to before. They anchored the boat and then after everyone put sunscreen on, Hank and Jay showed the boys how to fish, while Olivia, Erin and Olive laid out on deck.

"This is the life."

"It sure is."

Olivia took pictures with her phone and intended to send them to her squad later.

"This is so relaxing."

"Definitely. Anything biting?"

"Yeah. Look what Noah just caught."

Noah held up the fish he just caught.

"Wow! Sweetie, that's awesome!"

Olivia took Noah's picture. Daniel caught something too and Olive and Olivia both took his picture. They stopped fishing, put the boys in the shade and gave them something to drink. They had lunch and both boys had fallen asleep. Olivia and Olive hoped they'd sleep for a while, since they'd be up later than normal. They stayed out on the water most of the day and around dinner time, they headed back to the Harbor. They went over to Navy Pier for dinner and then headed back over to the boat to watch the fireworks. Everyone knew Hank's plan, so they gave them some privacy and went to sit on the other end of the boat to watch the fireworks. Olivia had decided to sit between Hank's legs as she leaned into his chest and he had his arms wrapped around her.

"Today has been absolutely perfect."

"It's not over yet."

Hank pulled the box out.

"What are you doing?"

Olivia sat up and turned around. Hank had the ring box open.

"Olivia, will you marry me?"

"Yes!"

Olivia held out her left hand and Hank put the ring on her finger before they kissed.

"I was planning to do this all along, even before our discussion last night. They all knew."

"I love you so much!"

"I love you too."

They kissed again and then they finished watching the fireworks. When they were over, everyone hugged them and then Hank drove home. Erin and Jay left and then they put the boys to bed after giving them a bath. Hank and Olivia went to take a shower before they officially celebrated their engagement and then fell asleep. Olive took her shower and went to bed as well. The remainder of the weekend, everyone spent time together. Hank contacted his squad and had everyone over for a barbeque. He and Olivia told them they were engaged. By the time the weekend was over, Hank said goodbye to his family and Jay said goodbye to Erin before the 5 of them left for the airport for their flights to New York or Phoenix. Once Olivia went back to work, she told her squad that she and Hank were engaged. She couldn't wait for them to be married.

Reviews and suggestions are appreciated. I have a couple suggestions that I will be working on next. I hope to be getting back to my other stories soon too.
