A/N: This came to mind, so I thought I would write it. This one does include Stabler. Cassidy is still around and so are Tucker, Justin and Al. Tucker is still with HNT. This takes place now but the pandemic is not a factor.
Fight
Olivia had just come back from lunch with Kathy Stabler. She could not believe that Elliot was returning to the NYPD after almost a decade or that she was the reason Kathy and Elliot divorced. Kathy had told her they divorced shortly after he left SVU and she had thought about contacting her sooner but never did. She also told her that Elliot was in love with her. Olivia told Kathy that she was the happiest she had ever been. She was engaged and she was actually still friends with both of her most recent exes. They had also become friends with her fiancé. Kathy told her she was happy for her but she somehow had a feeling that Elliot wouldn't care. He wanted to be with her. She was looking forward to this particular weekend. Hank was coming in and so were Justin and his family but Hank was bringing Al and Meredith with him. They were getting together with Ed and his wife Patty and Brian was meeting them if he was available.
"Liv, how was lunch?"
"Fin, you're not going to believe this."
"Well, if it involves Stabler, nothin' would surprise me. I always thought he was an ass."
"He's coming back to the NYPD."
"Say what?"
"Yeah. He's apparently going to be running Organized Crime. She said they divorced after he left SVU and I'm basically the reason they divorced. He's in love with me and won't care that I am in a relationship."
"Shit!"
"That is about what I said. He's going to try to ruin the best relationship that I have ever been in."
"I'll help and I'm sure Tucker and Cassidy will too."
"No doubt."
Then Ed walked in.
"Hey."
"Hey. We were just sort of talking about you."
"Oh, yeah?"
"I had lunch with Kathy Stabler today."
"Yeah, I heard he's comin' out of retirement and will be running Organized Crime."
"She told me they divorced right after he left SVU and I was the reason. She also told me that he's in love with me and won't care that I'm in a relationship. I know he's going to try to ruin things for me and Hank."
"Whatever you need, I'm here."
"Thanks. I appreciate that."
"No problem. What time does everyone get in?"
"About 4 if everything is on time."
"Patty has to work tonight, so it's just going to be me. She sends her apologies. She was looking forward to seeing everyone."
"Hank and the Olinsky's were planning to stay for a week, so maybe the 6 of us can get together another night. Justin and his family are only here for the weekend."
"I'll see what I can do. She thought she was off today and didn't find out until a little while ago that she had to go in. Are you off while Hank is here?"
"I am. We are going to be looking at places to live while he's here."
"Good. You need time off. Is Brian meeting us?"
"He said he would if he was available."
"I saw him earlier but I forgot to ask him."
"So, Liv, we need a plan in case Stabler shows up."
"I honestly don't care if I ever see him again. I never had any romantic feelings for him at any point and I don't now nor will I ever. I love Hank. I do plan on telling Hank that I heard from Elliot's ex-wife that he is in love with me because we have no secrets from each other."
"You don't think Kathy was just trying to stir up trouble, do you?'
"No. She wanted to warn me. I wondered why all of a sudden this was coming up if they divorced close to 10 years ago. She said she didn't know."
"Like I told you before, I always thought Stabler was an ass and he was pretty full of himself too."
"Tutuola, I agree completely. Now you know why I was the way I was with SVU for all those years I was with IAB."
"At least you and Amaro learned to get along."
"Yeah, we did."
Olivia's phone rang about a call, so Fin, Amanda and Kat left. Ed left shortly after, so Olivia could get back to her paperwork before the squad came back and she had to leave to meet Hank. Then Elliot showed up. He stood outside in the Squad Room watching Olivia. He couldn't be more proud of her. The only thing he wanted was to be with her in every sense of the word. He walked over and was standing in the doorway.
"Hey there, Beautiful. Long time no see."
"Apparently."
"I missed you."
"I wish I could say the same."
"Would it make a difference if I said I was sorry for how I left things?"
"Probably not."
"I left the way I did because I was in love with you but I didn't know how to deal with that. I loved you then and I still love you now. I want to be with you, Liv, in every sense of the word. Have dinner with me tonight."
"I can't. I already have plans."
"Change them."
"I can't. I have someone in my life, who I love more than life itself and we are engaged to be married."
"It's a good thing I came back into your life when I did, so I can stop you from making the biggest mistake of your life. He isn't good enough for you and no one could possibly love you more than me."
"How would you know if he's not right for me or it I'm making a mistake?"
"No one would ever be good enough for you except for me of course."
You need to leave."
"Not until you agree to have dinner with me."
"What part of I already have plans do you not get?"
Elliot walked over to her and kissed her. Olivia slapped him.
"I want you so bad, Liv. Let me show you just how much I have wanted you all these years."
"I am not interested in you in that way. I never was and I never will be."
"Don't say that. I know you wanted me as much as I wanted you but my marriage was the only thing standing in our way. We don't have to worry about that any longer. We have a lot of catching up to do."
"No, we don't. I know what you are up to. I had lunch with Kathy today and she told me you are coming back to the NYPD to run Organized Crime."
"I thought about coming back to SVU but then we couldn't be together."
"And we still can't. Why can't you accept that I am happy?"
"Because he's not me."
"Damn right, he's not and you will never be the man he is."
"More like he'll never be the man I am. I'm still the longest relationship you have ever been in with a man."
"At one point, you were. You haven't been in touch with me for nearly a decade, so that honor now goes to Fin, who has been there with me through good and bad. If you cared about me at all, you would have contacted me long before now. Kathy told me that I was the reason the two of you divorced, so then why am I just now hearing about this?"
"I figured you were pissed at me."
"Yeah and I still am. You can't just waltz back into my life after nearly a decade and expect me to walk out on the best relationship because you're in love with me."
"You had feelings for me then and I can tell nothing has changed in almost a decade."
"Everything has changed. I am not the same person I was nearly a decade ago. I've grown as a person, I'm a mother now and I'm now a Captain, which never would have happened if you were still around."
"I need to be with you, Liv. I have thought about nothing but you these last 10 years. I always wanted to give you a baby. We would have made beautiful babies together. Don't you think?"
"I never would have slept with you. What aren't you getting? If you haven't thought about anything but me, then why the hell are you just now coming back into my life? You need to get over yourself. I got over you leaving years ago and honestly, I don't need you or want you in my life."
Olivia didn't know that Hank had taken an earlier flight, so he could spend some time alone with Olivia before everyone else got there. He had walked in.
"Is there a problem?"
"Not with me. You are?"
"Olivia's fiancé. Who the hell are you?"
"I'm the man she truly loves. Why don't you just leave? She doesn't want you here."
"Honey, don't listen to him. He's just being an ass, which is nothing new for him."
"You love me and want me. Admit it."
"I want nothing to do with you, you son of a bitch. You just don't get it."
"We could be so good together. We always were."
"Give it up! I don't want you."
"I know you do. I can see it in your eyes. You're not happy."
"Get out of my office! Now!"
Olivia could tell Hank was about to blow and she wasn't about to stop him. Elliot deserved it. He shoved Elliot and then the two of them started fighting.
"I should have you arrested right now. I'm a police officer."
"So am I."
"You started it."
"From what I could see, you did. When a lady tells you to leave her alone, you leave her alone."
"Why would she want you when she could have me?"
"Go to hell!"
Hank punched Elliot in the stomach and then Elliot punched Hank in the face.
"Elliot, stop it!"
"Not until you give me what I want!"
Hank used his leg to push Elliot off of him and then he got up. He pulled Elliot up by the shirt and then shoved him into the wall. The uniformed officers were standing by in case Olivia needed them. Ed and Brian had both come in and couldn't help but laugh. Olivia rolled her eyes.
"Are you two finished?"
Ed and Brian walked into Olivia's office and pulled Elliot and Hank apart. Olivia went over to Hank to calm him down. Brian went to get Hank some ice.
"I want him arrested."
"I'm not with IAB anymore but I see you haven't changed in the decade you've been gone."
"Go to hell, Tucker! Why are you even here?"
"I'm friends with Olivia."
"That's bullshit! She would never be friends with you."
"Oh no? We dated for about a year before she and Hank got together."
"That's a lie!"
"No, it's not."
"Liv, say it isn't so. Did you date this asshole?"
"I did. As it turns out, he's not the asshole. You are. You were the reason he always came down so hard on us in the first place. I'd rather have him on my side. I really can't understand how or why the NYPD would ever want you running your own unit."
Brian came back.
"Here, Man."
"Thanks."
"Yeah, sure. You ok?"
"I will be."
"Get him out of here!"
The uniformed officers took Elliot out but he still had the smirk on his face.
"I plan on filing charges. I wish you were still with IAB."
"Trust me, I would love to investigate him again. Hank, you ok?"
"I think so. Is that the one you compared me to when we first me?"
"Yep. Thank you for defending me. He did kiss me."
"Whatever is wrong with him is no little thing."
"I've been saying that for years. Trust me."
Olivia put a call into IAB, so she could file a report against Elliot. Chief Garland had come in, so she told him what happened. Hank, Olivia, Ed and Brian left and headed over to Olivia's.
"Hi Mom! Hi Hank! Hey, Uncle Ed and Uncle Brian."
"Hey, Noah!"
Hank hugged Noah and Ed and Brian gave him a high five.
"Hank, what happened?"
"I got into it with your mom's former partner."
"You got into a fight?"
"Yep."
"Mom always tells me not to get into fights."
"Yes, I do. Thank you, Hank. I really appreciate what you did. I love you."
"I love you too but according to your former partner, you don't."
"He doesn't know me the way he thinks he does. Like I told Nick when he told me he was leaving, I grew more in the 4 years I worked with him than I did in the 12 years I worked with Elliot. I wouldn't be where I am right now if Elliot had stayed around."
"You've come a long way since me too. I still care about you but I've accepted that you have moved on and Hank and I get along pretty well. It was wrong of me to do what I did to you a few years ago with that investigation."
"We worked things out when you told me what had happened with your former baseball coach."
"I feel a lot better after I got that off my chest."
"Good. I should let Fin know what happened and that I'm at home."
Olivia texted Fin and then everyone sat down. Noah went to finish his homework and Lucy left. A few hours later, Justin, Olive, the kids and Al and Meredith arrived in New York at about the same time. They met in Baggage Claim.
"Justin."
"Hey, Al. Hey, Meredith. Where's Dad?"
"He came in a little earlier."
"Ok."
"She's getting so big since the last time we saw her."
"She sure is. Abby, can you say hi."
"Hi."
They got their luggage and went to get their cars before heading over to the hotel to get checked in. Justin texted Hank and he told them they were at Olivia's. They all headed over to Olivia's. Olivia was fixing dinner, so Hank could relax. He, Noah, Ed and Brian were in the living room watching something on TV. There was a knock at the door, so Hank got up to get it.
"Hey."
"What happened?"
"Olivia's former partner and I got into it. He was acting like an ass and coming on to her. He said she loved him and not me. Crap like that."
"What does he look like?"
"I punched him in the stomach and she had him escorted out of the Precinct by the uniformed officers."
"Hi Papa!"
"Hey, Bud! Where's Grandpa's girl?"
"Papa!"
Justin handed Abby to Hank and then everyone came in.
"Hey, everyone."
"Hey, Olivia."
Justin and Olive went to hug Olivia and then Daniel came in to hug her.
"Hi Gramma."
"Hi Sweetie."
"Gama!"
"Hey, Pumpkin."
"It's good to see you, Olivia."
"You too, Meredith. Hey, Al."
"Hey."
"Would you like some help?"
"Sure."
Hank, Justin and Al sat down after Justin and Al shook hands with Ed and Brian. The kids played, while Meredith and Olive helped Olivia.
"Is Erin coming?"
"Not tonight. She had to work late. Patty won't be here either, since she's at work as well. Hopefully the 6 of us can do something before the 2 of you and Hank go home next weekend."
"Hey, Ed and Brian."
"Hey."
"They're so pleasant."
"Tell me about it."
Hank came into the kitchen to get rid of his ice.
"I think we need to get married soon."
"I was thinking the same thing after what happened with Elliot. If we're married, then he can't ruin things for us, since I'm sure he won't stop until he gets what he wants."
"If we need to stay longer, we probably could."
"If someone can finish dinner, we can go get a marriage license."
"We'll take care of it."
Hank and Olivia left and headed to see if they could still get a marriage license before they closed for the weekend, while Meredith and Olive finished fixing dinner. They were able to get the license and then headed back to Olivia's apartment.
"Did you get it?"
"Yep. I left a message for Judge Donnelley to see if she could schedule us in early next week or sooner."
"Like I said, if we need to stay longer, we could."
"Ok. We don't need to do a honeymoon right now."
"I actually want to though. I want to go away with you."
"We just need to make sure Erin is available."
Hank called Erin and left her a message to call him back. Once the squad went as far as they could with the case, they called it a day and went over to Olivia's. Olivia answered the door.
"Do I need to kick Stabler's ass?"
"Hank already did that. I'm getting married within the next few days. Hopefully."
"Because of Stabler?"
"I still want to marry Hank but Elliot won't stop until he gets what he wants. He's not going to ruin this for me. I filed charges with IAB and Chief Garland knows what's going on as well. When the uniformed officers took him out, he had that smug smirk on his face, so I know he's not done with this. He kissed me but I'm sure he will turn it around and say I kissed him."
"I could see him doin' that. How you doin', Voight?"
"I'll be fine."
"What happened with the case?"
"Not much. The guy is being held in the Tombs. You goin' on a honeymoon?"
"Hank is trying to arrange something, so I may be gone longer than I expect to."
"I can handle it."
"Good. If you need anything, call Chief Garland."
"I will do that."
"Do you want to stay for dinner?"
"If it's ok with everyone."
"It's fine with us."
"Do I have time to get Jesse and Billie?"
"Of course."
Amanda left and went to her apartment to get Jesse and Billie and then she came back. Carisi was with her.
Olivia opened the door.
"Look who I found."
"Hey, Carisi."
"Hey."
They all came in and Amanda took the girls over by the boys and Abby.
"So, Tucker, where's the Missus?"
"She had to work."
"Oh. She seems nice."
"Thanks. I appreciate that."
"Hank, do you want to see if Trudy and Mouch can come in for the wedding?"
"Yeah, I thought about that."
Olivia's phone rang and she noticed it was Judge Donnelley, so she answered it.
"Is Monday ok?"
"Fine with me."
Olivia went back to her conversation with Judge Donnelley and hung up.
"Monday afternoon at 4, which is perfect because Noah is out of school by then."
"Ok. I'll call Trudy and then leave another message for Erin."
"I told her what happened with Elliot and she said he was an idiot for doing that. She doesn't blame you one bit for fighting with him."
"He messes with you and I will do it again."
"I love how protective you are."
Olivia got a video call from Rafael that she took, while Hank left another message for Erin and called Trudy. After he was done talking to Trudy, he hung up.
"So?"
"She said she will talk to Mouch but if he can't get off, she will be here anyway probably by Sunday. It'll be Sunday either way."
"Rafael will be there and I left messages for Munch, Cragen, Alex and Casey. I called Trevor and told him. He will start the paperwork for the adoption as well."
"Is Barba still out of town?"
"Yes but he said he will be here. Carisi, were you able to get me that Restraining Order?"
"Yes, Ma'am."
"Thank you."
"No problem. He can't come to your home or the Precinct. I also did it in case he tries something with Noah too."
"Oh, great. Thanks."
"Yep."
"Honey, did you arrange a honeymoon?"
"I did. We're going to Hawaii."
"Sounds so romantic."
"I'm hoping it will be."
"Who is staying with Noah?"
"Oh, crap! I didn't think of that."
"Meredith and I will still be here. We could stay with him."
"Honestly, I'm fine with that."
"Meredith and I have been talking and we decided that once I retire, which is the same time Hank is, we want to move here. We're planning to look for a place while we're here."
"We're supposed to look for something too. I found a few places that look like they'll give us more room and then Justin, Olive and the kids can stay with us when they're here as well."
"I've been kind of looking too."
"Dinner is ready."
Everyone went to get some food and then sat down.
"This is good."
"Thanks. Abigail, don't throw things on the floor."
"Don't worry about it."
Once everyone was done eating, Hank and Olivia cleaned up and mostly everyone left. Hank finished in the kitchen, while Olivia made sure Noah got into the bath. Hank helped tuck Noah in and then he and Olivia looked at places online. Some of them were places they had both looked at and liked. They went into Olivia's bedroom to make love before they fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day, they got up, got ready and met Al, Meredith, Justin, Olive and the kids for breakfast. Olivia had left a message for the Realtor and she called them back to see if they wanted to look at places that afternoon. Justin and Olive took the kids to some of the sights, while Al and Meredith went with Hank and Olivia, so they could look at some places as well. Both couples found a place they liked not too far from each other and put bids in. Hank heard from Erin and she was planning to be there. Olivia went shopping for a dress and Hank bought new suits for himself and Noah. Everyone else that needed something to wear to the wedding went shopping as well. Erin met them all for dinner and Olivia told her what had happened with her former partner.
Sunday was pretty low key. Olivia went into work for a while and Al had gone to the airport to pick up Trudy and Mouch.
"Hey, Olinsky, thanks for picking us up."
"Yeah, no problem. Is everyone coming?"
"Oh, yeah. Do Hank and Olivia suspect anything?"
"No. Everyone else knows, including Noah. Once Erin knew about it, she, Rollins and Meredith started planning the dinner party afterward."
"Everyone will be in later. Even the group from 51 is coming."
"Oh, good."
"Are they going on a honeymoon?"
"Hawaii. Meredith and I are staying with Noah. Hank said he made arrangements to come back here when they get back."
"Sounds like a plan."
"Meredith and I made an offer on a place out here."
"That's great! Hank said he got into it with Olivia's former partner."
"Yeah. He's pretty banged up but apparently so is the other guy. This is the guy Olivia compared Hank to when they first me. Olivia normally doesn't tolerate Hank's temper but she allowed him to defend her. He told Hank that Olivia loved him and not Hank and she still has feelings for him. Olivia denied it all. Hank knows she loves him. She was the one that suggested they get married. This guy was just being an ass. She filed a restraining order against him, so he can't come near her or Noah. She also filed a report with IAB. He just came back to the NYPD, I guess."
"Nice. I'm going to miss you and Hank when you both retire and move here."
"Meredith and I have been talking about coming out here for a while but we weren't really sure we wanted to. Lexi is buried in Chicago but we still have our memories of her. Hank is finally changing his life for the better after claiming he was never going to get involved with anyone again because it was too painful. He lost Camille to cancer and then he almost lost Olivia once to Ed. Now he and Ed have become good friends. He pretty much knew he'd be the one to relocate."
"You've become pretty good friends with Ed too."
"Yeah. Hank is glad she has both Ed and Brian besides Fin to keep an eye on her when he's in Chicago. Now, there is even more of a reason for it. Erin thought it would be better if there was more of a police presence at the wedding and reception, so if Olivia's former partner tries anything, we all have her back."
"That we do."
"Exactly."
Al arrived at the hotel and Trudy and Mouch got checked in. Then they went over to Olivia's, where Meredith was. When they got upstairs, they knocked on the door. Olivia was back as well.
"Hey, Trudy and Mouch."
"Hey. Thanks so much for including us in this."
"You are very welcome. We really appreciate you being here."
"How are you, Lindsay?"
"I'm good. How are you two?"
"Same crap different day for me."
"Me too, actually. Most of the crap I get is from Trudy anyway."
"Ha, ha, ha! Very funny!"
"I thought it was."
Trudy gave Mouch a dirty look.
"So, Hank, how does it feel to be getting married again?"
"Great. I love Olivia more and more every day."
"I love you more and more every day too."
Hank kissed Olivia.
"So, where's Abby?"
"She's taking a nap, so you will get to see her later."
"Where are the boys?"
"They went to the Zoo with Amanda and her girls. She invited Abby too but she was pretty cranky this morning."
"She wanted her papa. Justin almost came over here with her last night."
"I think we are eventually planning to come out here, so the whole family can be together. I was hoping it would be before Daniel started kindergarten but that obviously didn't happen."
"Sounds like a plan. You were ok with him missing one day?"
"Yeah. One day won't hurt him. We have a 6 o'clock flight tomorrow night though."
"Any idea when you'll be done?"
"I'm hoping by next year."
"Do you have to go anywhere?"
"As far as I know, I don't."
"The condo we put a bit on has 4 bedrooms, so if you want to live with us until you decide what you want to do, that's fine with us. The bedrooms are all a good size but the boys would probably have to share."
"I'm sure Daniel would be fine with that if that's what it comes to. It will give us something to think about anyway."
"Our home is your home."
"Thanks. We appreciate that."
"Who is all coming to the wedding part?"
"My squad, Carisi, Rollins' girls, Lucy, the family, the 4 of you, Barba, Trevor, Alex, Casey, Don and Munch. I think Olivia said Barba is bringing his mother. Ed, Patty and Brian are meeting us for the dinner afterward."
Olivia had gotten another call, so she left. A little while later, Hank got a call from Fin saying that Stabler was holding Olivia hostage.
"Damn it!"
"What?"
"That Stabler guy is holding her hostage."
Fin had called Ed and then he, Hank, Justin, Al and Trudy all headed to the scene.
"Tutuola, what happened?"
"I think Stabler arranged this, so he could get her alone. He said if he can't have her, then no one will."
"That son of a bitch!"
"Hank, I got this. I'll get her out of there. It's my job."
Ed called Olivia's phone.
"Hey, Ed."
"Hey. Put him on."
"He's not going to talk to anyone. The only thing he wants is me."
"Has he hurt you?"
"Not yet but he has a gun to my head. Is everyone there?"
"Hank, Justin, Al and Trudy are all here."
"Tell Hank and Justin I love them."
"You can tell them that yourself when you get out of there. I got you out of that situation with Joe Utley and I will get you out of this. Put me on speaker."
"Ok."
"Let her go, Stabler."
"Not until she tells me she loves me and wants to be with me. Me. Not that other guy. He's not right for her and he doesn't love her the way I do. We could be so good together. If she doesn't, then I won't be responsible for my actions. I will do something I thought I would never have to do."
"What's that?"
Elliot disconnected the call.
"He has lost his mind."
"Let me go in there."
"No, Hank, you're not goin' in there. I know you love her. I still care about her and I won't let anything happen to her. Do you trust me?"
"Yeah."
Kathy arrived at the scene and then Ed tried calling Olivia back. Elliot refused to answer the phone and wouldn't let Olivia answer it either.
"Damn it!"
"Captain Tucker, should we take a shot?"
"Not yet."
"Let me try something."
"Ok."
Kathy called Bernadette and told her of the situation. Bernadette then called Elliot's phone and she got him to talk to her. Ed called Olivia's phone again and this time she answered. She told Ed that Elliot was sitting on the floor on the phone talking to his mother and crying. Bernadette had convinced him to let Olivia go and then once they were outside, he was taken into custody. Olivia ran right into Hank's arms.
"I was so scared that I was going to lose you."
"I was scared too."
"I love you so much."
"I love you too, Babe."
They kissed and then she hugged Ed.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"You ok, Liv?"
"I am now."
"You need to get checked out?"
"I'm ok. I just want to go home."
Justin hugged Olivia.
"I love you, Justin."
"I love you too."
Then Kathy came over to her.
"Are you ok?"
"Yes. Thank you."
"I decided to call his mother. She seems to be one of the few people that can get through to him lately."
"I appreciate that."
They all went home and then they went out for dinner. After dinner, everyone went home and Hank and Olivia put Noah to bed before they went to bed themselves. Olivia had been pretty restless because of what had happened but she felt Hank's arms wrapped tightly around her.
The next morning, Olivia got up with Noah and got him ready for school. Hank got up too and they took him together. She had Al and Meredith added to the list of approved people to pick Noah up. When they got back, Olivia did her packing for their honeymoon.
"You ok after yesterday?"
"I think I will be. I have never seen him act like that before."
"Come here."
Olivia went over to Hank and he wrapped his arms around her again. They started kissing and then they made love. They pretty much stayed in bed most of the day until they had to go get Noah at school. Hank had gone to pick him up and then everyone who was working had left early to get ready for the wedding. Once Hank and Noah got back, they got ready and headed over to the Courthouse. Everyone else met them there.
"Liv, you look beautiful."
"Thanks."
"So, Liv, what's going on with Noah this week?"
"Al and Meredith are staying with him. They know if they need help with anything to call you."
"Ok. They know about dance class too?"
"Yes. Hank showed them where it was. Hank is planning to come back here once we get back and then he'll fly home with Al and Meredith."
"Are they staying at your place?"
"Yes. We figured that would be easier. They are keeping him with them at the hotel for tonight, so Hank and I can be alone."
"Got it."
Olivia hugged Don, John, Alex and Casey and then they went in. They went to Judge Donnelley's chambers, so Hank and Olivia could get married. After it was official, everyone hugged them and then they all headed to the restaurant, where everyone else was. Judges Donnelley and Linden even joined them.
"Congratulations!"
"You're all here?"
"Yep."
Olivia hugged everyone that was there and then she kissed Hank. Hank went to get some drinks and Don had pulled her aside.
"You ok after yesterday?"
"Yeah. He deserves whatever he has coming to him. He wanted me to tell him I loved him and wanted to be with him. I never felt that way about him."
"I know you didn't."
"Kathy had told me that I was the reason they got divorced. All of a sudden he comes back into my life and expects me to mess up the best relationship I have ever had. Not only that, I still have a good relationship with Ed and Brian. I love Hank so much and nothing will ever change that."
"I'm proud of you for everything you have accomplished."
"Thank you."
Olivia hugged Don and then Hank found them. Olive, Justin and the kids said goodbye to everyone and headed to the airport. Hank and Olivia went around and talked to everyone and then dinner was served. After dinner, there was dancing. Noah was staying with Al and Meredith at the hotel, so Hank and Olivia could be alone for the night. Once Hank and Olivia got to Olivia's, they made love before they fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning, they got up to get ready to head to the airport for their flight to Hawaii. Al had taken Noah to school and then he and Meredith checked out of their hotel to stay at Olivia's apartment. Once Hank and Olivia's flight arrived in Honolulu, they checked in and went up to their suite. They spent time at the pool or at the beach and they went to see some of the sights as well. They also spent a lot of time in their suite making love and being in each other's arms.
By the time they headed back to New York, neither of them wanted to go back because that also meant they would have to spend some time apart until Hank officially retired from CPD but they were closer than ever. He, Al and Meredith spent one more night in New York before heading back to Chicago. Elliot had been suspended from his new job in Organized Crime and before they would allow him to go back, he had to have a psych evaluation done to see if he could even handle the job. One thing was for sure, things were never going to be the same between him and Olivia and it would take her a while before she ever forgave him for what he had done.
The closings on both Hank and Olivia's place and Al and Meredith's place were on the same day, so they came out to for that and then when the time came, everyone went to Chicago to celebrate Hank and Al's retirements. By the time Hank retired, the adoption was final. Both the Voights and the Olinskys were excited to begin the latest chapter in their lives.
