Crabby

Hank had been working a lot lately and was barely home anymore. This was putting a strain on his and Olivia's marriage. Even though Erin was in New York, she and Olivia talked all the time and she knew how frustrated Olivia was with Hank lately. Erin had been planning to take a week's vacation and decided to take Noah with her to Arizona, since he was off from school. Noah knew that things had not been the same between his parents lately, so he was more than happy to spend some time with Erin in Arizona with Olive and Daniel. Olivia had left work early and decided that she needed to get Hank to relax. She went home, took a shower, put on her silk nightgown, the one she knew Hank loved her in, put her heels on and did her shoulder length hair in loose curls. She put on her raincoat that was just long enough to cover her nightgown and headed to the 21st. Trudy was still there but was getting ready to leave when Olivia came in.

"Good luck."

"Thanks."

Olivia headed up the stairs and Trudy buzzed her in, so she could go the rest of the way up. The rest of the team was getting ready to call it a day.

"Hey, Lieutenant."

"He's pretty crabby today."

"Today? The story of my life lately. He's been home less and less lately and he claims it's work. When he is home, he's distant and won't even sleep in the same bedroom with me."

"We haven't been that busy."

"I've mentioned this to Erin but she doesn't seem to think so but you don't think there's someone else, do you?"

"Oh, no way! Not Voight."

"He may be a lot of things but he would never be unfaithful. Loyalty has always been more important to him than anything else."

"Good luck, Lieutenant."

"Thanks."

Everyone left and Olivia went into his office. He was drinking a glass of whiskey lost in his thoughts but had tears running down his cheeks. Olivia shut the door, locked it and adjusted the blinds. He hadn't even seen her come in. She took her raincoat off and went over to sit on his lap. She wiped his eyes with her fingers.

"Honey, talk to me. What is going on with you?"

"I've just been thinking about things a lot lately. Mostly Camille, Justin and Al and I feel like I let them all down. I don't want to do the same thing to you, Noah, Olive, Daniel, Erin or my squad. I think everyone blames me for what happened to Al. I almost lost you once. I don't want that to happen again."

"What happened between us was completely my fault. I should have known that the friends with benefits thing we had going on was going to come back and bite me in the ass because deep down, I knew we both wanted more whether we could admit it or not. We let that go on a lot longer than I figured we would and I should have admitted my true feelings for you before I got involved with Ed but I could never get a straight answer from you as to how you really felt about me. Justin was the one that made me see what a fool I had been and how much I really did love you. I was never 100% sure how I felt about Ed but I'm fine with how things turned out. I was with him for a few months and then I got back together with you for good when I came here for Justin's funeral. I don't blame you one bit for what you did to that Kevin Bingham guy. I loved Justin too and Daniel should not have had to grow up without his daddy, Olive should not have had to lose her husband the way she did. The same goes for you. You shouldn't have had to lose your only child that way. I know you think you let Al down but he would have done anything for you. You and I both know that he was never the same after Lexi died and he and Meredith were never the same again. I know she blames you for what happened to Al but she has to realize that friends protect each other and I know if that was him, you would have done the same thing as hard as it would be for me to lose you."

"I still feel that all this stuff with Woods will come back and bite me in the ass. I don't want to go back to prison and I don't want to lose my family. That includes Erin."

"We'll all get through this together, ok?"

"Ok."

"Erin even said if she has to, she will take the blame for all of it."

"I should have listened to her in the first place. What the hell are you wearing?

"I was wondering when you were going to notice. You like?"

"Uh huh."

Olivia started kissing Hank and then she started to unbutton his shirt.

"Here?"

"Why not?"

"Are they gone?"

"They were on their way out when I came in. The door is locked. We need this. Honey, I need you. It has been so long since we have been together."

"You are so damn beautiful!"

They headed over to the sofa, undressed each other and made love. Afterwards they were on the floor with a blanket around them and their arms around each other.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

They started kissing again.

"We definitely needed this."

"Yeah, we did. I think I need to make a more conscious effort to be home instead of here. I just don't want to screw this up."

"We're going to be fine."

"Did Erin get here ok?"

"She did. Noah was so excited about going to Arizona with her."

"Good. What are we doing for dinner?"

"We could order something."

"That works."

They kissed each other and got dressed. Olivia told Hank what she had a taste for and headed home, while Hank went to order dinner. By the time he got dinner and went home, they ate and spent the rest of the night making love and just being in each other's arms. The weekend was pretty much the same. Erin called to see how things were going and they told her that everything was fine. They told Noah the same and he was excited about that. They had both decided to take the entire week off, so they could spend time together, which they both knew they had needed.
