A/N: I may decide to do a follow up chapter later on. I don't own any of the characters except my own.

Three Times the Love – Part 3

The next morning arrived. Olivia found something in her closet that was suitable to wear. Everyone Olivia worked with planned to work up until it was closer to the wedding. Early in the afternoon, there was a knock at the door. Olivia was on the sofa resting, so Hank went to answer it. It was Al and Meredith.

"Hey, Man."

"Hey, Al. Meredith."

"Hey, Hank. Congratulations!"

"Thanks."

"Here's your suit and your shoes."

"Thanks. Come on in."

Al and Meredith came in.

"Hey, Al."

"Hey, Olivia. This is my wife Meredith. Meredith, this is Olivia Benson."

"It is so nice to meet you."

"You too."

Lucy brought Noah out of his room.

This is Noah and his nanny, Lucy Huston. Lucy, this is Alvin and Meredith Olinsky. Al is Hank's best friend."

"It's nice to meet you."

"You too."

"Alvin tells me you're pregnant with triplets."

"I am. I'm just really nervous about all this."

"You've done this before obviously."

"He's adopted."

"Ok. If you need help, give me a call."

"I'm sure I will. I'm pretty much on bedrest for the rest of the pregnancy, so I will probably need help with him."

"Are you planning to go back to work?'

"No. Yesterday was my last day. I'm going to miss it but there's no way I can handle working and taking care of 4 little ones even if we hire a nanny."

"I would love to help. You and I can get to know each other better."

"Thank you so much. I really appreciate that."

"No problem."

"So, is Justin coming?"

"Nope. He and I got into it. I did find out some interesting news."

"What's that?"

"Erin is mine."

"What!"

"Yeah. We did the DNA test and it was a match."

"Congrats, Man!"

"Thanks."

"Did she stay here?"

"She's at a hotel. She's been cleaning out Olivia's office. She's going to stay to help pack up the apartment once the 3 of us go to Chicago. I told her it was either help Olivia or come back to work. I don't want her spending time with Bunny. She has a good relationship with Olivia already, so I'm glad for that. She told me wants to set a good example for the babies, so I have to give her a little credit for that. She at least wants to be a part of their lives, unlike Justin."

"What happened with Justin?"

"I left him a message to have him call me, so I could tell him about the babies. He called me back but he was pissed. He said he doesn't think we know each other well enough to be having a family together this soon. It is what it is. What happened with Bunny was a mistake but I don't have a habit of sleeping with women I don't have some kind of feelings for. That's just not me."

"Lexi is pretty much rebelling now too."

"She sure is."

"We tried getting her to come with us but she decided she'd rather spend time with her friends."

"She's how old?"

"She's 17. She really misses having Justin around. They were so close growing up."

"That's for sure. I don't want to make the same mistakes with these 3 that I made with Justin. I want to be the father to them that I should have been to him, especially after Camille died. It's been 4 years. Does he expect me to mourn her for the rest of my life?"

"Maybe he feels that you don't love Camille anymore."

"I'm always going to love her. She's always going to be in my heart and she is always going to be a part of Justin and now Daniel. As much as I said I had no idea if I ever wanted to get involved with anyone again after Camille, things happen."

"Olivia is good for you."

"I think so too."

"I think you're good for me too. I realize we didn't necessarily start out on the right foot but after that we grew to respect each other. Our relationship grew from there."

"Yeah, it did."

"You're sure you want to do this?"

"What?"

"Marry me?"

"Yeah. I'm good.

Hank kissed Olivia.

"Where are you taking her on a honeymoon?"

"We're going to worry about that after the babies are born. Maybe I'll see what I can arrange for Valentine's Day. How does that sound?"

"It sounds like a plan to me."

"You ok?"

"Yeah."

"Come here."

Olivia moved closer to Hank, so he could wrap her arms around her. Al and Meredith stayed for a while and then they went back to their hotel. Hank fixed lunch for the 4 of them and then Lucy put Noah down for a nap. Olivia fell asleep for a while. Several hours had passed and everyone was getting ready to head over to the Courthouse. Once everyone was ready, they headed over there. They all arrived at the same time.

"Wow, Liv! You look beautiful."

"Thank you."

Fin, Carisi and Rafael all kissed Olivia's cheek and then they all went to the Judge's chambers. Their ceremony was small and simple but they were officially married. They all went out to dinner afterwards.

"I'm married!"

"Yeah, you are. I love you, Mrs. Voight."

"I love you too."

Everyone stayed at the restaurant as long as they could. Fin had known Olivia the longest and wasn't ready to let her go.

"Liv, you can't go."

"I have to, Fin but you can come visit us in Chicago. All of you can."

"It'll be a while before I will be able to visit."

"Yeah, I know but you can come after the baby comes."

"I will I'm sure. When are you leavin'?"

"Tomorrow sometime. We decided to drive to Chicago, so we will take whatever we need with us and then Erin will have the rest of it shipped. There is just so much stuff we need for him, so it was easier for us to take my SUV and take what we could with us."

"Are you taking your furniture?"

"No. If any of you need anything, it's yours."

"We can probably buy new furniture whenever we move into our new place."

"We haven't found anything yet though."

"I was looking while you were asleep. I think I found something that will suit us perfectly. I'll show it to you when we get back to your apartment. It's in a good area. There seems like there will be plenty of room and we won't all be on top of each other like we would be at my current house."

"You're too much."

"Well, it's my job to take care of you now and I happen to take that seriously."

"You're going to make me cry again."

"It's better than having you yell at me and threaten to arrest me."

"Well, it worked, didn't it?"

"Yeah, it did. I knew then that I wanted to be with you."

"I think I knew then too. That stuff Yates was saying about you really made me mad."

"It made me mad too."

After dinner, they all left and headed home. When Hank, Olivia and Noah arrived at the apartment, Hank put Noah to bed and then he took the laptop into the bedroom and showed Olivia the house he liked.

"I love it."

"I thought you might. Hank scheduled an appointment to see the house when they got back and then he shut off the laptop. He got ready for bed and joined Olivia before they started kissing.

"I wish we didn't have to wait until after they were born. You have no idea how much I want to be with you right now."

"I think I have an idea."

They kissed some more and then they fell asleep. The next day, they got up and Hank finished getting things ready to go. Al and Meredith were planning on staying a couple days to check out some of the tourist attractions. By the afternoon, everyone came over to say goodbye to Olivia. The 3 of them got into the SUV and Hank headed to Chicago, while Erin finished things up in New York.

Hank had made reservations for them to stay at a hotel on the way, so Olivia could properly rest. By the time they arrived in Chicago, Hank helped both Olivia and Noah into the house and brought in some of their stuff. Monday morning, they had their appointment to see the house and then they headed to the District, so they could tell everyone their news. Some of them were surprised and some of them were not but everyone said they would help them move when the time came. Everyone was excited about the triplets.

During the next several weeks, they found out that the babies Olivia was carrying were all healthy and she was having two girls and a boy. Hank, Olivia and Noah moved into the house that they had looked at when they returned from New York and Erin and the other women had a combined baby shower for Olivia and Amanda, which they were both happy about.

In the months that followed, Hank had invited some of Olivia's friends from New York for Thanksgiving. Amanda was too close to giving birth, so she couldn't travel and Carisi stayed behind with her. Fin, Melinda, Lucy, Rafael, Trevor and Ed all came out for Thanksgiving. Melinda and Lucy had been there for the baby shower and Trevor had come out one other time to deliver the paperwork when the adoption was final but for everyone else, this was the first time visiting. Hank had also invited his squad and their families to join them for Thanksgiving as well. He invited Justin, Olive and Daniel but the two of them still hadn't spoken since Hank told him about the babies. The group from New York arrived the day before, checked into their hotel and headed over to Hank and Olivia's. They rang the bell when they arrived. Hank answered it.

"Hey."

"Hey. Thanks for inviting us.

"No problem. Come on in."

"Thanks."

Everyone came in.

"Wow! It looks great."

"Thanks."

"Where's Liv?"

"She's upstairs resting and Noah is taking a nap. How's Rollins?"

"She's hangin' in there."

"Olivia is scheduled for the c-section on Friday."

"Do you have any names picked out?"

"We do. The boy is going to be Nathan Richard. Richard was my father's name. The girls will be Marissa Erin and Madeline Olivia."

"Great names. Everyone is healthy?"

"Yep. We just got back from the final doctor's appointment and everyone is doing good, including their mama. How long are all of you staying?"

"Probably until Sunday."

"Ok. Melinda, she's hoping you can be in there with us."

"I would love to. Thank you."

Hank showed everyone around and then they all went to sit in the living room.

"Very nice."

"Thanks. We really love it. She's looking forward to this being over. She is so worn out all the time. I've been taking time off when I can but Al's wife has been staying with her and helping out with Noah."

"If you need me to come help, even if it's just Noah, I will be more than happy to."

"Thanks, Lucy. We appreciate that."

"I could probably stay with him when you go to the hospital."

"That would be a big help. Thank you."

"No problem."

The doorbell rang again, so Hank went to answer it. It was Justin, Olive and Daniel.

"Justin."

"Hey, Pop. I wanted to apologize for acting the way I did when you told me what was going on. I should have acted more like an adult but I didn't. I talked to Erin, so I know she's my half-sister. I also talked to Olivia. We've been talking, texting and Skyping regularly but she told me she wanted us to talk. She's the one that convinced me to come here now. She helped me to realize that a part of you would always love Mom. I'm ok with the way things turned out. She is good for you and I can see why you love her."

"Yeah, she is good for me and I really do love her. I probably should have made more of an effort to work things out with you but things have been so crazy around here with moving and getting ready for the babies to arrive. Yeah, Erin is your half-sister. I knew she had told you but I had no idea you had talked to Olivia. Erin, Trudy and some of the other women from the District, 51 and Med had the baby shower."

"I wish I could have been here for that."

Justin hugged Hank.

"I've missed you, Pop."

"I've missed you too."

Hank hugged Justin and they went into the living room.

"This is my son Justin, my daughter-in-law Olive and my grandson Daniel. These are some of Olivia's friends from New York. This is Fin Tutuola, Melinda Warner, Rafael Barba, Trevor Langan, Ed Tucker and Lucy Huston."

"It's nice to meet all of you."

"You too."

"Where's Olivia?"

"She's resting. I just showed everyone around but I can take the two of you around."

"Ok."

Hank took Justin and Olive around and showed them the house.

"This is nice, Pop."

"Thanks. We love it."

"HANK!"

Hank went into the bedroom.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm very uncomfortable."

"Your doctor said you would be."

"My back hurts and I can't even do anything."

"Let me call her."

Hank called the doctor and she told him to get her to the hospital.

"She said to get you to the hospital."

"What if something is wrong?"

"She said you are more than likely in labor, so there is really nothing to get worked up about."

"That's easy for you to say."

Hank helped Olivia get out of bed and then they headed downstairs after he grabbed her bag. Justin and Olive had joined everyone in the living room.

"I am so fat. How can you even stand to look at me?"

"You're not fat. You're pregnant."

"I look like a whale."

"No you don't. I think you're beautiful."

"You're just saying that."

"No I'm not. Olivia Margaret Benson Voight, I love you with all my heart and I love these babies too."

"I love you too."

They got downstairs.

"We're heading to the hospital."

"We'll meet you there."

"Ok."

Hank and Melinda left with Olivia to head to Med. When they arrived, they went to get her registered and then they took her up to her room. They hooked her up to the monitors and then the doctor came in.

"How are you feeling, Olivia?"

"I'm very uncomfortable."

"That is completely normal. Everything on the monitor looks ok. Do you just want to get this over with now?"

"If we can, yes."

"Ok. Let me go check the status of the OR."

The doctor left to go check on the status of the OR and then Maggie and Sharon came in.

"Everything ok?"

"The babies could be making their entrance soon."

"That's great. It's nice to see you again, Melinda."

"It's nice to see both of you again too."

The doctor came back in.

"The OR is available but we're short a few nurses. I had the entire team that I needed scheduled to be in with us on Friday morning."

"I can help."

"I can too if you need me. It's been a while since I've done OB though."

"Great. Maggie, can you start her IV?"

"Of course."

"This is Dr. Melinda Warner, a friend of Olivia's, who she wanted in with us."

"What's your specialty?"

"I'm the Medical Examiner in New York City."

"We can use all the hands we can get. Can I borrow Drs. Manning and Halstead?"

"Sure. We're not too busy down there. I need to call April anyway."

Maggie called April to tell her she was helping with Olivia and asked her if she could send Natalie and Will up to Olivia's room. Then Maggie started Olivia's IV, while Hank and Melinda went with Sharon to scrub in and get ready. Will and Natalie came up and went to scrub in as well. Maggie went to get ready and then they took Olivia into the OR.

"Hank, I want you to stay on your side of the curtain. Some dads get a little queasy if they see too much."

"Ok. Olivia, I love you."

"I love you too."

The doctor started cutting and then pulled the first baby out, which was one of the girls.

"Baby A is a girl."

Then she pulled the second one out and that was the second girl.

"Baby B is a girl."

She then pulled the third one out and that was the boy.

"Baby C is a boy."

Hank had left with Melinda, Sharon, Maggie, Will and Natalie and headed to the Nursery after he kissed Olivia's head. Olivia had decided to have a hysterectomy, so the doctor finished up.

"Hank, they are absolutely precious."

"Thanks. They ok?"

"They're perfect. They're breathing on their own and they are all over 5 pounds, so that is very encouraging. When we came up, I saw your squad and Olivia's friends in the waiting room."

They cleaned them up and then Hank and Melinda went to take them to meet everyone.

"Hey."

"Oh, Hank, they are precious."

"Thanks. This is Marissa, this is Madeline and this is Nathan."

"Liv's ok?"

"She's still in surgery. She decided to have a hysterectomy."

"Can I get a picture to send to Rollins and Carisi?"

"Sure."

Fin took a picture and then he sent it to both of them. Everyone else took pictures as well. Erin took Marissa and Justin took Madeline. Melinda handed Hank his son.

"Hey there, Buddy."

Hank, Erin and Justin took the babies back to the Nursery and then they waited with everyone else. A little while later, the doctor came into the waiting room.

"Hank, she's doing great."

"Good. Thanks."

"No problem. You can go be with her if you want."

"Ok."

The doctor took Hank to recovery where Olivia was and he sat with her. He kissed her forehead, sat down and took her hand.

"I love you so much. Our babies are perfect."

She started waking up.

"Hank."

"Hey."

"Babies?"

"They're beautiful and they are absolutely perfect."

"Love you."

"I love you too."

Hank kissed Olivia and then she was moved back to her room. The nurse brought them in, so Olivia could meet her babies for the first time.

"Well, hello there!"

"This is Marissa, this is Madeline and this is Nathan."

"We will keep them in here but we will wait until tomorrow for you to try nursing them."

"Ok."

"This way, Daddy can spend time bonding with them tonight."

"That sounds like a plan."

The nurse left and Hank started kissing Olivia just as Justin and Erin came in.

"Geez, Pop! Can't you wait until she's feeling better?"

"You're so funny!"

"Justin."

"Hey, Olivia."

Justin gave Olivia a hug.

"Can someone bring Noah tomorrow?"

"Sure."

Everyone else came in to see Olivia before they left. Erin and Justin eventually left after giving one of their new siblings a bottle, leaving Hank and Olivia alone with their new arrivals. Olivia had fallen asleep and Hank tried to stay awake but ended up falling asleep as well. Justin, Olive and Daniel had stayed at Hank and Olivia's along with Lucy, so Justin and Olive started dinner and Erin came over to help. The next day, Olivia was up, moving around and nursed the babies for the first time. Maggie was still at the hospital, so she sent Hank home for a while and she stayed with Olivia. Hank was able to eat with everyone but really wanted to be with his wife and their newborns. After everyone ate, the group from New York went to the hospital with Hank and they each got to hold one of the babies. The others had visited as well.

Within the next few days, the group from New York went home and Amanda had given birth to Jesse. By early the following week, Olivia and the babies went home. Noah wasn't really sure what was happening but Hank and Olivia alternated spending time with him. Their lives had changed in the last few days but they were ready for whatever challenges came their way. They knew there would be challenges with raising triplets but they would figure it all out together.
