Relax

Olivia really was having a bad day after she got smacked in the face by the person she took down in the bodega. She had taken her Oreos, her aspirin and her ice pack and went home. Her cheek was bruised and she was just in a bad mood. Noah was at a sleepover and she was looking forward to some peace and quiet with Hank. She unlocked the door to their brownstone and went inside. Ed was there.

"Hello."

"Hey, Babe."

"Hey, Liv."

She took her coat and boots off and went into the family room.

"What the hell happened?"

"I had to get a little physical with someone and he smacked me in the face."

"Let me get this straight, you had to get physical with someone?"

"Don't start!"

"That's my girl! I knew you had it in you."

Ed just shook his head.

"You say one word, Edward Tucker and I will throw this aspirin at your head!"

Olivia sat down next to Hank. He put his arm around her and kissed her cheek.

"I'm sorry you had such a bad day today. How would you like to get away for a few days?"

"You're joking, right?"

"No, I'm not."

"What are we going to do with Noah?"

"Ed is going to stay with him."

"What about my squad?"

"I already talked to Fin. Everything is under control."

"Yes, I want to go. Does Noah know about this?"

"Yes and he is fine with it."

"You think of everything, don't you?"

"Actually, yes, I do. Isn't that why you married me?"

"That's part of it."

"Ok, so I need to pick him up after breakfast, right?"

"Yes."

Hank went to get the spare keys for Ed.

"Have a good trip."

"Thanks and thanks for keeping an eye on Noah."

"No problem. I will see you when you get back."

Ed kissed Olivia's cheek and then he left.

"When are we leaving?"

"Tonight."

"I need to pack."

"Done."

"I love you. You know that, right?"

"Yes, I know that."

Olivia kissed Hank before she went up to reapply her makeup to cover her bruise and by the time she came back down, their car had arrived. They grabbed their bags and went out to the car. Then they were driven to the airport. Once they arrived at the airport, they went to check in and went through security.

"Are we going to Chicago?"

"Nope. That isn't my idea of relaxing."

"Scottsdale?"

"Nope. Hawaii. More specifically, Waikiki Beach. I thought some time at the beach would do you some good."

Olivia kissed Hank and then they waited for their flight. Several hours later, they boarded the plane and then it took off. Almost right after the plane took off, they both fell asleep. Several hours later, the flight arrived in Honolulu. They got off the plane and went to get their luggage. The limo took them to their hotel and then they got checked in. They went up to their suite. Olivia went out onto the terrace and admired their view.

"This is so beautiful and so amazing."

"I'm glad you like it."

They got settled, changed their clothes and then they ordered something from room service. After they ate, they went for a walk hand in hand along the beach. After a while, they went back to their suite. The undressed each other, started kissing, got on the bed and made love. Afterwards Hank had his arms wrapped around her and she had her head on his chest.

"I'm starting to feel more relaxed already."

"Good."

They kissed again and then they fell asleep in each other's arms. The next morning, Olivia had woken up and noticed that it was still dark out. She got up, put a robe on and went into the bathroom. She went out onto the terrace with her phone and decided to watch the sunrise over the water. Hank woke up, got out of bed, put a robe on and went into the bathroom before joining Olivia on the terrace. He snuck up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Good morning, Sexy!"

"Morning, Beautiful!"

Hank sat down and then Olivia sat on his lap. They watched the sunrise before they went back over to the bed to make love. They went to take a shower and then they went down to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. After breakfast, they went to put their swimsuits on and headed to the beach. They found a couple beach chairs and set their stuff down. They put sunscreen on and went into the water for a little bit. They went back over to their chairs and relaxed in the sun.

"This is the life."

"It sure is."

"I'm not going to want to go home when the time comes. Thank you for this."

"You're welcome."

"I do miss Noah though."

"I do too. We should check in on them later."

"We could do that."

Hank took Olivia's hand and kissed it.

"We should come back here with Noah."

"We could do that. Maybe Erin, Olive and Daniel too."

"That sounds like a plan to me. It would be great to come here with our whole family."

"How's your cheek?"

"It hurts but I'll be ok."

"Good."

Olivia heard her phone ring, so she looked to see who it was. It was Noah. She answered it and talked to Noah and then Hank talked to him. They went into the water again and then they went back up to the room to make love. Afterwards Hank had his arms wrapped around her and she had her head on his chest.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too."

"I feel that we haven't really been anywhere alone since our honeymoon."

"We haven't, which is why I thought we needed this."

"I've been working way too much."

"Yeah, you have. Believe me, I've been there. I'm glad I retired. I know you will too when the time is right for you."

"I just never expected you to spend so much time with my ex."

"Especially after I got so upset with you when you told me you two were seeing each other. He's not such a bad guy."

"I realized that after he was so supportive of everything I went through with Noah. He was the one that convinced me to tell you how I really felt about you, even after he had taken us to Paris."

"He called me and asked me how I felt about you."

"I think things were more serious for him than they were for me. I never expected to ever have feelings for him but I was also fighting my feelings for you. He said if I wanted to be with you, then I needed to tell you. I know that was hard for him to do that."

"He has said that if you and I hadn't gotten together, he was ready to propose."

"I would have said no. I didn't love him that way. I don't think I could have been this happy with anyone but you. I think I was just being stupid when I kept avoiding the subject. My squad knew before I did."

"Same with me. Erin knows me better than I know myself at times. Justin knew before I did. I just wish he had been around for this. I think he would have loved you but maybe not as much as his old man or his son. He would have loved Noah too."

"Noah is definitely glad to finally have a dad. It was my choice to raise him by myself but he has missed out on a lot. He warmed up to you faster than he did Ed but he has always had Fin and Carisi in his life and he gets along well with Peter and Trevor, as well as the guys in your former squad and Don and John. I'm glad he and Daniel get along so well."

"Me too."

They started kissing and made love again before they got up, got dressed and went to find something for lunch. After lunch, they did a little shopping. They went back to the room and fell asleep for a while. They found something for dinner and walked along the beach holding hands. They sat down in the sand to watch the sunset. Olivia was sitting between Hank's legs and he had his arms wrapped around her.

"This is absolutely breathtaking."

"Yeah, it is."

Olivia had her phone, so she took a selfie of them with Hank kissing her cheek. She also took one of them kissing

"That came out pretty good. I may have to get a frame put it on my desk."

They sat there for a little while longer and then they went back to the suite. They took a shower before they got ready for bed. Olivia was looking through that day's pictures on her phone.

"The pictures turned out nice."

"Let's see."

Olivia handed Hank her phone and he looked through them.

"Nice."

They kissed each other and fell asleep in each other's arms. They next day after breakfast, they went exploring and saw some of the sights before spending the afternoon at the pool. During the rest of their time there, they found something different to see every day or they spent time at the pool or beach. They mostly enjoyed spending time with each other but they did check in with Ed and Noah every other day. By their last night there, they packed their suitcases, since they had an early flight. The next morning, they got up and got ready. They had breakfast in the hotel restaurant one last time and then went up to get their stuff, so they could check out. The limo took them to the airport for the return trip to New York.

When they arrived in New York tanned and relaxed, they got the luggage and saw Ed and Noah waiting for them in Baggage Claim. As soon as Noah saw them, he ran over to them.

"Mom! Dad!"

"Hey, Sweetie!"

Both Hank and Olivia hugged Noah.

"How was your trip?"

"Great."

"I was good. Did you bring me anything?"

"Noah!"

"Well, I was. Ask Uncle Ed."

"Edward, did you feed my son something besides takeout?"

"Yes, I did."

Hank took the suitcases and they headed to the SUV. Everyone got in, while Hank put the bags in the back. Hank drove home and after they gave Ed his gift for taking care of Noah, he went home. They threw their laundry in and sat down.

"You feeling better, Mom?"

"Yes, I am. I really needed this. Thank you for being so understanding."

"I know you work hard but we need you home with us sometimes too."

"I'm going to make more of an effort to spend more time with my two favorite boys. I love both of you so much."

"Good. I love you too, Mom."

"That goes double for me, Babe."

Noah gave Olivia a hug and then he gave Hank one as well. Hank kissed Olivia.

"What do you want for dinner?"

"Ice cream!"

"Normally, I'd say no but that sounds good."

They gave Noah his present and then later after the laundry was done, the 3 of them went to have ice cream for dinner. They watched a movie as a family and after they put Noah to bed together, Olivia went to get her clothes ready for work. She had missed her son so much but she had really enjoyed spending a week away with Hank. She wasn't looking forward to getting back to work but she definitely had a better attitude about it than she did before the left.
