Three Times the Love – Part 1

Olivia was on her way to Chicago. She and Hank needed to have a serious talk. They had gotten close right after the Yates case and trial but hadn't really seen or talked to each other since then. He had his life and she had hers. Within the last few weeks, she had found out she was pregnant. She was already at 15 weeks and was told there was more than one. She really had no idea how she planned to tell Hank or if they really wanted to be a part of each other's lives but they did care for each other enough to sleep together. Even though Hank could be a little rough around the edges, he really was an amazing man. She left Noah with Lucy because she needed to do this without any interruptions. She arrived in Chicago, got her luggage and took a cab to the hotel. She got checked in and took another cab to the 21st District. Trudy was in her usual spot when she came in.

"Sergeant Benson, it's good to see you again."

"You too, Sergeant Platt. Sergeant Voight wouldn't be in, would he?"

"That's a good question."

Then Jay came downstairs.

"Hey, Sarge."

"Hey, Halstead."

"Halstead, is your Boss up there."

"No. He went to see Erin."

"How's she doing?"

"She quit."

"What?"

"She couldn't deal with anything after Nadia's death and that included our relationship."

"I'm sorry. I had no idea."

"Don't worry about it."

"Do you have a message for Hank?"

Olivia wrote down the name of her hotel and her room number.

"Have him meet me here when he has a chance."

"I will do that."

"Thanks."

Olivia left and headed back to the hotel. When she got back, she got on the bed and started rubbing her belly.

"I still need to talk to your daddy but no matter what happens with him, I am going to love you the best way I can."

Olivia closed her eyes and fell asleep. Hank was arriving back at the District. He got out of his SUV and went inside.

"Hank, I have a message for you."

"From?"

"Olivia Benson. She said to meet her at her hotel and gave me her room number."

"She's here?"

"Yeah."

"Then I guess I better go see what she wants."

Hank left again and Jay went back up to Intelligence. On the way to the hotel, Hank wondered why Olivia was there. They hadn't seen or spoken to each other since they had spent the night together but he had thought about that night a lot ever since it happened. She was the first woman he had been with since Camille. He cared deeply for her but a part of him didn't think he was good enough for her and she probably didn't feel the same way about him. Hank arrived at the hotel and went up to Olivia's room. He knocked at the door. No answer. He knocked again. Olivia woke up in a daze and thought she heard the door. Hank knocked again and then she answered it.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"Come on in."

"Thanks."

Hank walked in and went to sit down. Olivia came over and went to sit down next to him. Hank's eyes went right to her belly.

"Are you pregnant?"

"Yes, I am."

"Congratulations!"

"Thanks."

"Who's the lucky guy?"

"You are, actually."

"Wait, me?"

"Yeah."

"You sure?"

"I haven't been with anyone except for you lately. I'm at 15 weeks and there is more than one."

"Twins?"

"The doctor told me there was more than one. If you don't want to be a part of this, I will completely understand."

"I want this. I can't stop thinking about that night when we were together. I just didn't think you wanted anything more because I hadn't heard from you. I care deeply for you but you probably don't feel the same way about me and I'm probably not good enough for you."

"It works both ways, Hank. You could have called me. The thing is, I can't stop thinking about that night either. Don't ever think you're not good enough for me. If I didn't care about you, what happened that night wouldn't have happened."

Olivia put her hands on her belly again and Hank did too. Then they kissed.

"I want you to get checked out while you're here to see how many we're talking about."

"Ok."

Hank made a call and Olivia was able to get in that day. A little while later, they left for the appointment. When they arrived, Olivia filled out the paperwork and then they waited to be seen. Olivia was called and then they both went in. The doctor came in, introduced herself and then she did the ultrasound. She turned the switch on to listen for the heartbeats.

"Did you conceive naturally?"

"Yes."

"I detect three heartbeats."

"I was definitely surprised that I was pregnant at all."

"Did you want to have an amniocentesis done?"

"What do you think, Hank?"

"It's up to you."

"What if something is wrong?"

"Then we'll deal with it when they're born."

"You appear to be very healthy for your age but it's a high risk pregnancy for anyone. I want you to get as much bedrest as possible for the remainder of the pregnancy. They can be born any time after 30 weeks."

"What about intimacy?"

"Sex is probably not recommended. You don't want to cause labor to happen any sooner than it will."

"I actually live in New York and have a 1½ year old son, who's there. Can I still fly?"

"That distance shouldn't be a problem. This is your second pregnancy?"

"He's adopted. Do the amnio."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

"Ok."

The doctor went to get everything she needed and came back. She did the test and then they scheduled Olivia's next appointment after Olivia got dressed. Hank took her hand and then they went back to the hotel.

"Stay with me."

"What am I going to do? I made the appointment with this doctor, which I liked better than the one in New York but I still need to be with my son. How am I going to handle 4 kids under the age of 2? I can't do this, Hank."

"You're not going to be alone in this. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. They're as much my responsibility as they are yours. Marry me, Olivia. Let me take care of you and our family."

"Hank, you don't have to do this."

"Of course I do. We made this happen, so we are in this together."

"I love you, Hank. I really do."

"I love you too."

"Yes, Hank, I will marry you."

They kissed and then Hank put his hand on her belly again.

"Hello in there. This is your daddy."

"I'm thinking I should move here. I have a lot I need to do though."

"I'll send Erin out there. I don't want you doing anything. What are you going to do about your job?"

"I don't know. We're short-handed because Amaro retired and moved to California. I did take the Lieutenant's exam though. I'm going to need help once they get here and with Noah once we're moved here. I may be able to get Lucy to come help him get settled in to his new surroundings. He really liked you when he met you."

"That's good to know. I hope Justin likes you. We probably need a bigger place too. We'll figure it all out. We can look online and if we find something you like, we can go look at it."

"You're too much. You know that?"

"I want you to be happy. That's all."

"I want to stay with you."

"Ok."

Olivia got her stuff and then she checked out of the hotel. Hank took her to his house and got her settled in. Hank called Erin and invited her over. Hank was fixing dinner and Erin let herself in. Olivia was on laying on the sofa looking at houses online.

"Hey, Liv."

"Hey, Erin."

"Since when are you and Hank a thing?"

Then Hank came out of the kitchen after he put dinner in the oven.

"Good, you're here. I have a job for you."

"I can hardly wait for this."

"We need you to go to New York and pack up her apartment."

"Where's she moving?"

"Here."

"Why?"

"I'm getting to that. She's pregnant."

"Yeah, right."

"She is."

Erin looked at Olivia's belly and sure enough, she could tell.

"Holy shit, Hank! Are you telling me you did this to her?"

"Yep."

"Come on, Liv, you can do better than him. Can't you?"

"Smart ass! There's more."

"I'm assuming you're getting married, since you made sure Justin and Olive were married by the time Daniel was born."

"We are. I proposed and she said yes but I don't have a ring yet. There's still more."

"What?"

"There are three of them."

"Babies?"

"Yeah."

"Hank, no offense but you're old. How old are you? About 100?"

Erin started laughing at herself.

"Smart ass! You're not that funny. I'm not that old. I'm in my 50's, Erin."

"I'm the one that's old. I shouldn't be pregnant."

"Hank, I'm only teasing you. You know I love you and I am so happy that you two are together. I had kind of hoped you would have ended up together and Nadia did too. Does anyone know?"

"Other than you, not yet. Her doctor in New York told her there was more than one but didn't tell her how many there actually were. I got her in to a doctor here, which she actually liked better. She decided on her own that she wants to move here. She's pretty much on bedrest for the remainder of the pregnancy. She can fly short distances though. She's at 15 weeks already. She had an amniocentesis done. We're looking for a bigger house."

"15 weeks. That puts it around the time of the Yates trial."

"Sounds about right."

"After the bar?"

"Something like that."

"How did this happen, Hank?"

"Do I really need to explain it to you again?"

"That's not what I mean, you ass."

"It happens, Erin."

"Who knew I'd get actually get pregnant? Certainly not me."

"How do you think Justin will handle it?"

"I have no idea. Every time I talk to him, he tells me I need to get laid."

"Yeah, you kind of did."

"Since the doctor said I could travel to New York, I should probably give my notice in person."

"Yeah, you probably should. Erin, can you come with us?"

"Yeah."

Hank called to make the reservations for their flight and went to check on dinner. Olivia called Lucy and told her everything that was going on. The 3 of them had dinner and as they were eating, the doorbell rang. Hank went to answer it. It was Al.

"Hey, Al. What's goin' on?"

"Not much. What's goin' on with you? Platt said Benson was here."

"Yeah, she's here. You need to hear this, so come on in."

Al came in and followed Hank into the kitchen.

"Hey, kid."

"Hey, Al."

"Can I get you anything? Some food or a beer?"

"Yeah. I'll have a beer. Thanks, Man."

"Yeah, sure."

Hank got Al a beer and then he sat back down next to Olivia, while Al sat next to Erin.

"So, are you two a thing?"

"To be honest, until today, I had no idea where we stood."

"You said somethin' happened the last time you were in New York though?"

"Yeah, I did say that. She came here to tell me she's pregnant."

"Yours?"

"Yeah. As it turns out, we're having triplets."

"No kidding. Congratulations to both of you!"

"Thank you."

"Thanks, Al."

"You leavin' us?"

"No. She decided to leave New York. We're going to New York tomorrow, so she can give her notice. She's pretty much on bedrest. Erin is coming to help pack up her apartment. We're going to look for a bigger house."

"You gettin' married?"

"Eventually. I asked her and she said yes but I don't have a ring for her yet."

"I'm happy for you."

"Thanks."

"You too, Olivia."

"Thank you."

"Justin know?"

"Not yet."

They finished eating and continued talking. Erin went home and Olivia went up to bed. After Al left, Hank cleaned up and went to join Olivia in the bedroom. She was already sound asleep. He got ready for bed and got into bed. He kissed Olivia's forehead and then he kissed her belly.

"Daddy loves all of you so much and that includes your mommy."

Hank got settled with his arms around Olivia and his hand on her belly.

"I love you too."

"Go back to sleep."

Olivia laced her fingers though Hank's and then they both fell asleep. Tomorrow was a new day and it was the beginning of a new chapter in both their lives.
