A/N: Justin and Al are both still alive and Erin is in Chicago. I don't own any of the characters.
Halloween
This was Noah and Olivia's first Halloween in Chicago. Olivia and Hank had gotten married over the summer and then she and Noah moved to Chicago. Justin and Olive were back in Chicago with Daniel and had a place not too far from Hank and Olivia. Olivia was overseeing Intelligence and Hank was fine with that but she only went out when it involved a sexual assault. They kept their personal and professional lives separate but they were not the only couple in the Unit. Erin and Jay were together and so were Kim and Adam. Erin and Kim both worked with Olivia, so they were not always working with their respective fiancés.
Hank had taken the day off because Noah wanted him to take him trick or treating and so did Daniel for his first time going. Noah had had his Halloween party at school, so he was already dressed in his costume and Daniel was in his costume as well. Noah got into the SUV and Hank headed to the house.
"Hi Daddy. Hi Daniel."
"Hey, Buddy."
"Hi Noah."
"How was your party?"
"Good. Is Mommy mad at you?"
"I think she's a little homesick. She misses all her friends in New York."
"I do too but mostly Lucy and Jesse. I miss Uncle Fin, Aunt Amanda, Uncle Sonny, Uncle Trevor, Uncle Peter and Uncle Ed too."
"I invited everyone to come for a long weekend."
Hank arrived at the house and there were a couple cars there already. Hank got out and Noah got out. Hank helped Daniel out of his car seat and everyone else got out of their cars.
"Noah!"
Jesse ran up to Noah and gave him a big hug.
"I miss you."
"I miss you too."
Noah then went to hug everyone else.
"Thanks for inviting us."
"Yeah. No problem."
"How's married life?"
"She's adjusting well to that but like I told you, she's a little homesick. I told her the decision was hers as to where we were going to live and she chose Chicago."
"It's only been a few months, so it's not like she has been here a couple of years and still not adjusting."
"Yeah, I know but a part of me thinks she's blaming me for it. We had an argument this morning and luckily, I took the day off because this one probably would have continued all day. We try to keep our personal and professional lives separate. I talked to Erin and she said Olivia has been in a mood all day. How are you feeling, Rollins?"
"I'm doin' ok. Sonny and I are together and he's gonna help me raise this baby and Jesse."
"That's good."
Then Justin arrived.
"Daddy!"
"Hey! Hey, everyone."
"Hey, Justin."
"I figured I'd go with you to take Daniel out. How's Mom?"
"She and I had an argument this morning and I'm actually glad I'm not at work. I talked to Erin before I went to pick Noah up and she said Olivia has been in a mood all day. She has no idea that I invited everyone. I want to take them out and then I want to go to the District and the Fire Station."
They walked around the neighborhood trick or treating for a while and then they all went to the District. Trudy was in her usual spot when they came in.
"Trick or treat!"
"Wow! Look at you three."
Trudy gave all three of them some candy.
"Thank you, Aunt Trudy."
"You're welcome."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, Miss Jesse. Where are the rest of your costumes?"
"I'm dressed as a pumpkin. See."
Amanda had on an orange pumpkin shirt that showed off her pregnant belly.
"I'll buy that. Here you go, Detective Rollins."
"Thank you, Sergeant Platt."
"Most of the rest of us are dressed as Detectives."
"Nice try, Hank. You're not very original. You dress like that every day."
"I tried."
"Daddy, I'll share my candy with you and Mommy."
"Thank you, Noah."
"I have a skeleton shirt on. Does that count?"
"Sure, Justin."
"Thanks, Trudy."
"No problem."
Everyone went upstairs and Hank put his code in. They continued up to Intelligence.
"Trick or treat!"
"Are we supposed to have candy? If we are, Atwater ate it all."
"You've had more than I have, Bro. Hey, Fin."
"Hey, Man."
Al came over and gave each of the 3 of them a box of Cracker Jack.
"Thank you, Uncle Al."
"You're welcome."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome too."
"Hey, Peter."
"Hey, Antonio."
Peter sat down by Antonio and they talked. Everyone else stayed out in the Bullpen and talked, while Hank went into the office and shut the door. Olivia was sitting at the desk and had her elbow on the desk with her hand on her forehead.
"Hey, Beautiful."
"Hey. I am so sorry about this morning. I just miss everyone more than I thought I would."
"I get it. Come here."
Olivia got up and walked over to Hank, so he could wrap his arms around her and then they kissed.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"How'd the boys do trick or treating?"
"Pretty good. Noah said he'd share his candy with us."
"Good. We'll help ourselves after he goes to bed."
"Justin went with us and he said he plans on going through Daniel's candy. We're still planning on going to the Fire Station."
"Maybe I'll go with you for that. No one is at our house or at Justin and Olive's to hand out candy."
"We'll get a few hours. It seemed like it was the younger kids that were out when we were going through the neighborhood. The older kids will probably be out later. Most of the kids know that I'm not around until later anyway, so we should get plenty of kids."
"Good."
"I have a surprise for you."
"You do, huh?"
"Yep."
Hank kissed Olivia and then they went out to the Bullpen and Olivia was surprised to see everyone.
"I knew you were a little homesick, so I invited everyone for the weekend."
"Even Ed, Trevor and Peter, huh?"
"Yep. I didn't have to do much to convince Peter. Ed and I have been getting along better than you expected us to and Trevor was out here when he brought the paperwork when the adoption was finalized."
Olivia hugged Hank and then she went to hug everyone else. When she hugged Amanda, she put her hand on her belly. Then she picked up Jesse.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm doin' good. I'm raising this one on my own with Sonny's help. He and I finally decided to give it a shot. Fin thinks I could do a lot better. He was there for me when I was pregnant with and after I had Jesse."
"Is the father that doctor?"
"Yeah. When I told him, he seem surprised but then he didn't seem like he wanted it. He basically just said I should have it taken care of. I told him was keeping the baby and raising it with or without him. He said he didn't want anything to do with it, so I had Trevor do up the paperwork and he signed away his parental rights. He has no claim to this baby whatsoever anymore."
"Good for you."
"I appreciate Sonny always being there for me and I want him to be a father figure to my kids. I finally found me a great guy and I am not letting this one go."
"If Carisi is going to be with you when you have this kid, I have to do everything. By myself."
"They still haven't brought in anyone to replace me yet?"
"Nope."
"I was told that NYPD Brass didn't want a Sergeant running SVU but now they're back to a Sergeant running it for now."
"Who told you that? Maybe I can start with them. This is ridiculous."
"Tucker."
"That doesn't help. Dodds is about as useless as they come."
"We've known that for a long time. I know he still blames me for what happened to Mike. He said he didn't but he is always so cold toward me. After you told me what he did after that incident with Noah earlier this year, I was glad to get out of there."
"There's no excuse for him."
"You used that against him to stay with SVU?"
"Yep. That's what my source told me to do."
"Oh, you have a source in the NYPD now?"
"Former NYPD actually."
"I think I know. Thank you, Edward."
"How'd you know?"
"I know how much you hate Dodds."
"He blames me for not investigating Mike's death. You didn't need that, especially from me. Like I told you when it first happened, there are 100 ways it could have gone."
"Yeah, I know. I think I'm going to go for the day."
"Ok. Jay and I will stop over later."
"Ok."
"Why don't all of you come over later? We were planning to cook hot dogs, burgers and brats out while it is still nice weather. We have plenty of food. Al, bring Meredith."
"I will."
"Ok. We'll see you later. Probably by 6 or so."
"Ok."
Hank, Olivia, Justin, the boys and the group from New York left. Hank invited Trudy for dinner before they all headed over to 51. Peter decided to go to the State's Attorney's office to visit with Mark, Anna and Laura. Will and Natalie were there with Owen.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"You 3 busy tonight?"
"Not really. We're off for a change."
"Why don't you come over for dinner? We're having hot dogs, burgers and brats."
"That sounds like a plan. Are Jay and Erin coming?"
"The entire squad is. You already know the group from New York."
"Yes. We met them at your wedding. We will see you later."
"Great. Probably 6 or so."
"Ok."
Will, Natalie and Owen left and then everyone else went in.
"Hello."
"Hey."
"Trick or treat."
The 3 kids got some more candy.
"Looks like you did pretty good."
"We got lots of candy and some Cracker Jack."
"Wow! Who gave you that?"
"Uncle Al."
"Did you get anything from Trudy?"
"Yes. She gave us Tootsie Pops."
"Wow! That was nice of her."
They stayed and talked for a while and then they got a call, so they left. Everyone headed to Hank and Olivia's. Justin went home for a while and left Daniel with Hank and Olivia. Every time the doorbell rang at Hank and Olivia's somebody different went to answer the door.
"Trevor, do you get a lot of trick or treaters in your building?"
"A few. There are some kids that live in the building but not many. There are quite a few single people or married couples without kids as well."
"No one special in your life?"
"I don't have time for that. Sure, I want kids but right now, I'm married to my job."
"For the longest time, I was too. You'll find someone eventually. You really are a good guy and you will make some woman very happy someday."
"Thanks, Olivia."
"No problem."
The doorbell rang, so Fin went to get it. He picked up the bowl of candy expecting it to be more trick or treaters but it was Don and John. They all came into the living room.
"Hello."
"Hey."
"How have you been, kiddo?"
"Not too bad other than being a little homesick. I love being married though."
"We knew you were homesick, since we were invited for the weekend."
"It's not just you, Liv. We miss you too."
Then Noah came downstairs.
"Uncle John! Grandpa Don!"
"Hey, Noah."
Noah hugged them both and then he dumped his candy out on the floor.
"You can have some after dinner, ok?"
"Ok."
Daniel and Jesse came downstairs as well. They both did what Noah was doing.
"Jesse, no candy until after dinner."
"K, Mama."
Hank was keeping a close eye on Daniel and then he shook his head.
"After dinner."
"K, Papa."
A little while later, Justin and Olive came over and then the rest of the squad, Meredith, Trudy, Will, Natalie and Owen came over as well. Hank started the grill and had lots of help to get things ready. Trevor did the cooking. Once everything was ready, they let the kids get their food first. Amanda was tired, so Sonny helped Jesse and then he got something for Amanda. They sat wherever they could find a place and whenever the doorbell rang, someone went to answer it.
Several hours later, everyone went home or to their hotel. Olivia put Noah to bed. Hank had had help cleaning up, so that was done. He was sitting on the sofa looking through Noah's bag of candy. Olivia came down and sat next to Hank. They both started eating candy.
"Thank you for inviting them to come for the weekend."
"You're welcome."
"I didn't mean to be so bitchy this morning."
"It's ok. I was kind of afraid to call or text you and when I talked to Erin, she said you were in a mood."
"I'm sorry."
"We're ok. I know you didn't mean it."
Hank kissed Olivia.
"You wanna take this upstairs?"
"Yeah, I do."
They took the candy into the kitchen and put it out of Noah's reach. They headed up to the bedroom and locked the door. They undressed each other, got on the bed and made love before falling asleep in each other's arms.
Happy Halloween!
