A/N: For anyone in Chicago and other areas affected by the extremely cold weather. Stay warm. This is kind of short. I don't own any of the characters.
Keeping Warm
Olivia and Hank have been married for 2½ years. Olivia retired after Dodds was killed and moved to Chicago. Chicago was having some frigid weather. Hank was at the District and Noah was off from school. Noah and Olivia had been watching movies most of the morning but Noah wanted to see Hank, since he had left before Noah woke up that morning. Noah put all of his winter gear on: his snow pants, his boots, his coat, his scarf, his hat and his thick gloves. Olivia wrapped another scarf around his face and then she got ready as well. They went out to the garage and got into the SUV. Noah had so much stuff on that Olivia had to help him put his seatbelt on. She opened the garage and warmed up the SUV before they drove to the District. They arrived and then they both got out.
"I hope Daddy isn't out in this."
"Me too. This is ridiculous."
Olivia took Noah's hand and they walked in. Trudy was in her usual spot and Hank was down visiting her.
"Hank, I think these two belong to you."
Hank turned around and pulled down Olivia's scarf. He kissed her and then he pulled Noah's scarf down.
"Hi Daddy."
"Hey, Buddy."
"You left before I was up this morning."
"I know. We had a case. I decided to send everyone home for the day and probably tomorrow too."
"Good. I really worry about you. Trudy, has Mouch had to go out in this?"
"Oh, yeah. They had a huge fire they had to go to and they were out there for several hours. They had to respond to an accident too. I really do worry about him in this weather but I also worry about him when he goes into fires too. Stay warm."
"You too."
Hank, Olivia and Noah went up to Intelligence.
"I'm sending everyone home for the rest of today and tomorrow. Stay warm. I'm heading home to be with my wife and son."
Hank started putting his coat and everything else on, while Olivia remote started both vehicles. Everyone else did the same thing.
"If any of you need to, you can come over. Our home is your home. You know that."
"Thanks."
Everyone left and headed to their respective homes. When Hank, Olivia and Noah arrived at the house, Hank lit a fire in the fireplace.
"Would you two like some hot chocolate?"
"Sure."
"Yes please.
Olivia went to make hot chocolate. When it was ready, she brought the mugs out along with the plate of cookies.
"I'm really glad I decided to come home."
"We are too."
Olivia sat down and put the blanket on.
"I wish we could go somewhere warm."
"Me too but what would we do with Noah? Maybe we can arrange to go somewhere warm when Noah is on Spring Break. You're not having second thoughts about moving here, are you?"
"No. Not at all. I don't regret any of this. I love you."
"I love you too."
Olivia kissed Hank and then he wrapped his arms around her.
"I love you, Mommy. I love you, Daddy."
"We love you too."
"If I was still in New York with this crazy weather, I'm sure my apartment would not have had heat."
"I worry about Erin."
"I worry about everyone. I'm glad I'm not doing this anymore. The thing that scares me the most is losing you."
"I have everything to live for now. You kept me sane when Justin was killed and I thought about going down the wrong path again."
"You were then one that kept me sane after I was held hostage and when Dodds was killed. After what happened to Dodds, I decided to call it quits, since I blamed myself for what happened."
"It doesn't seem like we've been together for just over 4 years."
"No, it does not. I'm glad we found a way to make it work though."
"Me too and I'm glad you both had the chance to get to know Justin before he died."
"We loved him too."
"I know you did."
"I felt like I lost my own son."
"He grew to love you like a mom and Noah like a brother even though we didn't get married until after he died. Like he told you, as far as he was concerned, you're Daniel's grandma. Having you to get me through my grief really helped."
"It helped Noah and me too."
"I miss Justin too."
"We know you do, Buddy."
They picked another movie and then the 3 of them snuggled under the blanket together. Around dinnertime, Hank and Olivia made dinner together and then they ate. Olivia kept getting texts from her friends in New York to make sure everything was ok. They Skyped with Erin as well. She told them she was planning to come visit them soon. After they watched another movie, they put Noah to bed and went into their bedroom to make love before falling asleep in each other's arms.
