A/N: I guess it's a good thing I occasionally re-read these because I was supposed to do a Part 3 to Chapter 125 (Summer Heat) and Chapter 126 (Family Time) and never did. This picks up where I left off. I don't own any of the characters.
Honeymoon
The plane arrived at LAX and as soon as they got off the plane, they went to get their luggage. Then they went to get the rental before driving to the hotel. Little did Olivia know was that there was a surprise waiting for her at the hotel. Hank saw him right away.
"Hey, Liv!"
"Nick!"
Olivia went over and gave Nick a big hug, while Hank went to check in.
"What are you doing here?"
"Voight called and told me that you two were coming here for your honeymoon. You didn't invite me to the wedding?"
"It was a spur of the moment thing but Fin, Rollins and Carisi were all there. It was just the family and both squads. We just went to City Hall."
"I'm happy for you and I'm glad you two finally got together."
"Me too. He's amazing."
After Hank got checked in, he joined them.
"Hey, Amaro. Thanks for meeting us."
"Yeah, no problem. Thanks for calling me. How's Noah?"
"He's great. We all checked in?"
"Yep."
They got into the elevator and headed up to their suite.
"Congratulations."
"Thanks."
"Who's relocating?"
"I am. We just need to look for a bigger place and I need to put my house on the market, so we will be dealing with a long distance marriage for the time being."
"What made you two decide to get married before the other one relocated?"
"She told me she didn't want to wait any longer."
They got up to their suite and went in.
"What's been going on with the squad?"
"Rollins has two kids now."
"She married?"
"No."
"Is the same guy the father to both?"
"No. Declan Murphy is the father of the oldest one and this doctor she was seeing is the father of the youngest one."
"Murphy?"
"Yep. She made a point of saying it wasn't you."
"That was a one-time thing."
"The father of the second one proposed but she said no because she didn't love him. Carisi has really stepped in though and the girls love him. New York has been without power, so Carisi took Rollins, Frannie and the girls to stay with his parents. Honestly, I think the feelings are there and I'd be fine with it if they got together."
Olivia pulled out her phone and showed Nick a picture of Noah, Jesse and Billie.
"That's Noah?"
"Yep. That's Jesse and that's Billie."
"I can't get over how grown up Noah is."
"Ellie's mother came into the picture a couple years ago."
"I thought she was dead."
"After dealing with her, I can see why Ellie said that. She at first wanted to vacate the adoption but then she said she didn't want to take him away from the only mother he has known. Then she kidnapped him. She said I could adopt another little boy who needs a family and I don't have time for him. That boy is my entire life."
"How well do he and Voight get along?"
"He is beyond excited that Hank and I are married and that Hank wants to be his dad."
"Is Voight the first relationship you've been in since Cassidy?"
"No. I dated Ed Tucker for about a year."
"You what?"
"I dated Ed Tucker for about a year."
"That I heard. Why the hell would you do that?"
"It just sort of happened and I really tried to deny my feelings for Hank. That didn't work too well. I hoped Ed and I would have kept in tough after we broke up but I haven't heard from him. It is what it is. I'm with Hank and I'm happier than I have ever been. Who told you?"
"Barba actually. He and his mom went on a Mexican cruise and they were here the night before they left, so he wanted to meet for dinner. He even knew you had feelings for Voight."
"I'm usually the last to know a lot. I did have feelings for him during the stuff with Yates."
"No kidding! We all knew that, Liv. It was so obvious."
"I know that now."
"You two want to get together for dinner?"
"Sure."
"I'll let you know when and where."
"Ok."
Nick hugged Olivia and headed home, while she and Hank got settled. They made love and fell asleep for a little while. By the time they got up, they grabbed a quick bite to eat and then they went to change into their swimsuits to go to the pool. Nick had texted Olivia when and where they were meeting and then he also gave him directions how to get there. She replied back saying they would be there. After they stayed at the pool for a while, they went back up to their suite to change for dinner. Hank drove to the restaurant and Nick, Cesaria, Gil and Zara were waiting for them.
"Olivia!"
Zara ran over and gave Olivia a big hug.
"Hi Sweetie! I can't believe how much you have grown."
"I miss you."
"I miss you too. This is my husband Hank. Hank, this is Nick's daughter Zara."
"Nice to meet you."
"You too."
Olivia took Hank's hand and they walked over to where Nick, Cesaria and Gil were.
"Hi Cesaria."
"Hello Olivia. It's good to see you again."
"You too. It's good to see you too, Gil."
"You too, Olivia."
"This is my husband, Hank. Hank, this is Nick's mom Cesaria and his son Gil."
"It's nice to meet you."
"You too. How's Noah?"
"He's great."
Olivia pulled out her phone and showed them a recent picture.
"Wow! He has really grown."
"Yes, he has."
"When did you get married?"
"Yesterday. Hank was able to make the arrangements for us to come here that quickly. We just decided a few days ago that we were going to do this. We've been engaged but I decided I didn't want to wait any longer. Hank is in Chicago, so he decided that he was going to be the one to relocate. We will still be in a long distance marriage until he retires and moves to New York. We need to find a bigger place."
"Congratulations!"
"Thank you."
They went in and were taken to their table. Everyone decided what they wanted and then they had their order taken.
"How's your squad doin', Voight?"
"Not too bad. We lost Olinsky a little over a year ago and recently, Dawson had an addiction problem after a shoulder injury. I thought he had beat it but he relapsed. I took him back to rehab and then he joined his sister Gabby in Puerto Rico. Halstead is my #2 now."
"What happened to Lindsay?"
"She took a job with the FBI in New York. My daughter-in-law and grandson are moving to New York. I lost my son 3 years ago. After Justin died, Olive took Daniel to Scottsdale to be closer to her sister but she decided to take the job in New York even though she doesn't like winters anymore. She doesn't particularly like the summers in Arizona either. With me moving to New York, I will be there with my entire family and I will get to spend time with both of my boys."
"Do Daniel and Noah get along?"
"Oh yeah."
"How old is Daniel?"
"He's 4. He was a year old when Justin died."
"That has to be tough."
"Yeah, it is."
"How does Daniel feel about you, Liv?"
"He calls me Grandma."
Olivia found Daniel's picture on her phone.
"He looks like Voight."
"Oh, yeah. He also has his grandpa's personality sometimes. I'm glad I have a family now. Hank is more than I could have ever asked for."
"This is the happiest I have ever seen you."
"This is the happiest I have ever been."
"If you hadn't gotten with Voight, would you have stayed with Tucker?"
"I doubt it. I cared for him but not the way I care for Hank. I didn't see him as someone I could have spent the rest of my life with. I kept trying to convince myself I was happy with him but really I wasn't. I never would have thought that the real love of my life was in a totally different city."
"I'm happy for you, Liv."
"Thanks."
Everyone kept talking and then their soup and salad arrived. Once they meal arrived they continued talking as they ate. Nick paid for the meal and then they all said goodbye after they agreed to get together again before Hank and Olivia went home. Nick and his family went home, while Hank and Olivia went back to their hotel to make love before they fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day, they spent the entire day at Disneyland. They also went to Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios and the Hollywood Walk of Fame, spent time at the pool and in their suite making love. Wherever they were at, they bought souvenirs for the family and their respective squads. They also met up with the Amaros again before they left and checked in with Erin and Noah regularly.
Their time in LA went quickly. They got up, got ready and packed before they went to have breakfast. They checked out of the hotel and headed to the airport to return their rental. They went to the terminal and got checked in. Hank had made the reservations for the return trip to New York instead of Chicago, so they could start looking for places. That gave him some more time to spend with Olivia and he could also spend some time with Noah. They both knew that the time they were apart was going to be difficult but they also knew that it would only be for a short time and then they would be in the same city all the time.
Reviews and suggestions are appreciated.
