A/N: This is the last chapter of this story. I don't own any of the characters except my own.
The next several months went quickly. Hank officially retired at the end of August and moved to New York to be with his family. Erin's transfer had been approved, so she was now officially living in New York as well. For the time being, Erin was living with them. Hank had made arrangements to take Olivia to Paris for their honeymoon. The day before the wedding, Olivia and her squad were at the Precinct just about ready to call it a day.
"So, Liv, tomorrow is the big day."
"I know. I can't wait."
Then Don came in.
"Hey."
"Hey, Don."
"Liv, I am so happy for you."
"Thank you. I have waited so long for this to happen."
"I know you have. Were you able to get a hold of Elliot?"
"I tried. Nick is coming in though and Casey and Alex will be here too. Judge Donnelly is doing the wedding."
"Where is the honeymoon going to be?"
"He won't tell me and neither will the twins. He asked if I had a passport."
Then Justin, Olive and Daniel came in. Daniel ran over to Olivia and gave her a hug.
"Gramma!"
"Hey, Sweetie!"
"Where's Papa?"
"He's at home."
"Don, this is my stepson, Justin, his wife, Olive and their son, Daniel. This is Don Cragen, my former Captain."
"It's nice to meet you."
"You too."
"I take it you know where your dad is taking me on our honeymoon."
"Yep. You're probably the only one in the family that doesn't know."
"Ugh!"
"You'll like it though."
"I better."
"Liv, give Voight some credit. He wanted to make is special for you and I think he did that. You gonna save a dance for me?"
"Yes, Fin. I will have at least one dance with all the guys I have worked with over the years."
"Is Munch coming?"
"He said he wouldn't miss it."
Hank and the twins came in with a surprise for Olivia. When Daniel saw Hank, he gave him a hug.
"Mom, look who we found."
"El!"
"Hey."
"You're here?"
"I am. You didn't think I'd miss this moment, did you?"
"With you, who knows?"
"I wanted it to be a surprise. Hank knew I was coming all along and so did these two. Justin, it's good to see you."
"You too."
"Wait, you two know each other?"
"He and Dickie have gotten to be good friends. They're in the Army together. Kathy and I went down to see him a few months ago and Justin made sure I knew about the wedding."
"It was actually Dickie that got me to come here to talk to you a couple years ago."
"He's a little wiser now but he can still be a pain in the ass."
"Is Kathy here?"
"She is. She's at the hotel."
"Did you bring Eli?"
"No, we did not. Lizzie is back at home since graduating from college, so we left her in charge of her brother. I'm glad to see you two finally got together."
"I am too."
"He didn't see the twins for quite a while?"
"Yeah. He had a lot he had to deal with after Camille passed. He didn't see them but we still kept in touch. I went to Chicago a few times for work and we were together then but I never told them that."
"How many years did he not see them?"
"8 years. He's made up for it though."
"I can't believe how grown up they are."
"They're teenagers. Can you believe that?"
"Nope."
"They also just started 8th grade."
"Now I'm feeling old. They were just little squirts when I last saw them. We need to catch up."
"We do."
"Are you two available for dinner tonight?"
"I don't know. Are we?"
"That's fine. Why don't you two come over?"
"I'll call Kathy and check."
Elliot called Kathy to see if she wanted to go to dinner at Hank and Olivia's. She agreed and then he hung up."
"She said it was fine."
"Here is our address. Justin are the 3 of you staying with us?"
"If it's ok. If not, we can go to a hotel."
"It's fine."
After Olivia introduced Elliot to Erin, Rollins and Carisi, everyone left and went wherever they were going. Hank started dinner, while Justin, Olive and Daniel got settled. The twins did their homework, while Erin and Olivia both took a shower. Justin had gone into the kitchen to help Hank and Olive was reading a story to Daniel. The doorbell rang, so Olive went to answer it.
"Hey, Olive."
"Hi Mrs. Stabler. Come on in."
"Thank you."
Elliot and Kathy walked in just as Olivia was coming downstairs.
"Hey, Kathy."
"Hey, Olivia. It's great to see you."
"You too."
Kathy gave Olivia a hug and Elliot hugged her too.
"Liv, this place is gorgeous."
"Thanks. Believe it or not, it's big enough for our whole family. Erin is living with us for now and then Justin and Olive have their own room and Daniel has his own space as well. We have 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. I bought this place a few years ago when they were 10 because we completely outgrew the apartment we were living in. I bought it right after I took the Lieutenant's exam."
"I can't believe you're a Lieutenant."
"Some days, I can't either."
Olivia took Elliot and Kathy and showed them around. Hank left Justin in the kitchen and then he joined them. He went up behind Olivia and wrapped his arms around her waist as he kissed her neck.
"Kathy, this is Hank. Hank, this is Elliot's wife, Kathy."
"It's nice to meet you."
"You too."
"He's the twins' father?"
"Yes. I became the person I never wanted to be and that was the other woman in someone's marriage. After it happened, I was a mess but I'm glad I got pregnant. Not that I wanted to take him away from his family. We got drunk and it happened. He could have told me that he was married. He didn't wear a ring either."
"I never did with Camille but I did agree to wear one now."
"Were you in any other relationships while you waited for Hank to get his act together?"
"I had guys ask me out. I almost went out with Trevor Langan. The kids liked him."
"I think you have secretly always felt something for Langan. I'd see the way you two would look at each other every time he came in to represent some lowlife."
"Yeah, I know. He even said he wanted to ask me out when I was pregnant. He would have supported us. I told him I appreciated it but their father was financially supporting them and still was even when he wasn't in their lives for 8 years. You know better than anyone what I was like when I was pregnant."
"Oh yeah. You were even feistier than you normally were. I think Fin, Munch, Cragen and I were even more protective of you during that time."
"That's true. I really screwed up that night."
"We both did. I wouldn't have blamed Camille if she had filed for a divorce after I did what I did."
"I would have been ok if she had wanted to get to know them."
"I wasn't going to force the issue. Justin's twin sister was a stillborn and then she had miscarried several times. I didn't want to rub her nose in my indiscretion because I fathered two healthy babies with someone else."
"It's weird that you fathered fraternal twins with two different women."
"I know. I was just glad Stephanie was healthy. I don't know if I could have dealt with losing another child."
"She had you wrapped around her little finger from the moment she came into the world and you met her for the first time. I do see a lot of similarities between Michael and his older brother."
"They can both be a pain in the ass."
"Justin is a good kid."
"He has changed now that he's a dad and in the Army."
Justin told everyone that dinner was ready and then they all ate. Olivia ended up telling Elliot about what happened with William Lewis and that Tucker had even asked her out but Michael wouldn't allow it. After everyone ate, Stephanie and Mike helped clean up, while everyone else talked. Elliot and Kathy left and everyone went to bed.
The next morning, everyone got up and had breakfast. Olivia, Erin, Amanda, Stephanie and Jesse went to get their hair and nails done. The guys got ready and left before they got back. Amanda brought her and Jesse's clothes, so they could change at Hank and Olivia's with everyone else. Once they were ready and Don arrived, they headed to Central Park where the guests were already arriving. Fin, Carisi, Nick, Rafael, Elliot and Munch were the first ones to see Olivia when she arrived.
"Liv, you look beautiful."
"Thank you. I have never been more ready for anything in my life."
"It sure took you long enough."
"Yeah, I know."
"This cannot be Stephanie. She looks too grown up."
"Thanks, Uncle Munch."
"She's beautiful just like her mom."
"Thanks, Uncle Nick."
"Nick, have you met Elliot?"
"Yeah. Fin introduced us."
"Good."
"Liv, I'm glad you and Voight are finally doing this."
"I am too. We all have a better relationship with Justin."
"That's great."
Justin found Olivia.
"Can we talk for a minute?"
"Sure."
Justin and Olivia went to find a place to sit down and talk.
"What's going on?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to give you this in private."
Justin handed the gift to Olivia and then she opened it.
"Justin, it's beautiful. Thank you."
"You're welcome. I hope you like it."
"Of course I do."
Olivia put her necklace on.
"It's from Erin, the twins and me. I know I've been an ass to you but I was hurt by what Dad did."
"I know. If I had known he was married, I wouldn't have allowed it to happen. He didn't tell me he was married until the next morning. I could have pretended that nothing happened and not told him I was pregnant but I felt he had the right to know about it. Not that I wanted him to leave her for me because I didn't. I appreciate that he financially supported them even when he chose not to be a part of their lives. Even if she hadn't gotten sick, I would have been ok if he wanted to introduce them to both of you and have you be a part of their lives. It was his decision not to do that."
"Yeah, my mom and I had a long talk about this whole thing. Did you and my mom ever meet?"
"No."
"My mom was the best. She told me that she forgave Dad for what he did and I should too. Dad and I never had the best relationship. When I came out here and we talked, I knew I wanted to be more involved with Mike and Steph since I missed out on being a part of their lives growing up."
"They missed out on a lot by not having their big brother around. Erin has accepted them from Day 1. When he came to see them, she would come with him, so they have known her since early on. I want the 3 of you to be a big part of each other's lives but that also means you and I have to be a part of each other's lives as well."
"I'm ok with that. Just promise me you'll take care of him, ok?"
"You know I will."
Justin hugged Olivia and then they went to get ready for the wedding to start. Stephanie, Amanda, Erin and Jesse and Daniel went down the aisle and then Don brought Olivia down on his arm. Hank could not believe how beautiful she looked. They smiled at each other but started to become emotional as they joined hands and exchanged vows and rings. They were pronounced husband and wife and kissed. At that moment, there was no one happier to hear that than Michael and Stephanie were. Before Hank and Olivia headed back up the aisle, Mike and Stephanie hugged their parents as did Justin and Erin. Everyone headed up the aisle and the photographer took pictures, including one of the entire family. Hank and Olivia talked to everyone there before going to their table to eat. After dinner and the toasts, everyone started dancing. Hank and Olivia had the first dance and then Hank danced with Erin and Stephanie, while Olivia danced with Justin and Mike. Daniel and Jesse attempted to dance with each other. Olivia danced with Don, Munch, Elliot, Nick, Fin, Carisi, Rafael and Trevor, while Hank danced with Amanda, Casey, Alex, Melinda, Kathy, Eileen, Rita, Olive and even Judge Donnelly. They rested for a while and danced with the group from Chicago. Olivia had wandered off to the same place she had gone to talk to Justin and Hank had followed her. He sat down next to her and laced their fingers together.
"You ok?"
"I'm good. I'm just tired."
"Yeah, I know. Our flight leaves tonight, so you can sleep on the plane."
"So, are you still not going to tell me where we're going?"
"I can tell you. We are going to Paris."
"You didn't?"
"Yeah, I did. Our children told me that was your dream vacation, so I wanted to make that dream come true. That's where we are spending the first week of our new life together."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Olivia kissed Hank and then they went to say goodbye to everyone. They took the limo to the townhouse. They went up to their bedroom to change but they ended up making love first. Once they were dressed, they grabbed their luggage and the limo took them to the airport. They got checked in and went to the gate to wait for their flight. Once they boarded the plane and it took off, Olivia fell asleep on her husband's shoulder. Occasionally Hank would look at his sleeping wife and see a smile on her face. They had been through a lot in time they had known each other. Neither of them figured they would even be a family after their drunken one night stand over 14 years ago but once they found their way back into each other's lives, they knew it would be forever.
I hope you enjoyed this. If you have any suggestions for any stories (either new ones or something for my Benson & Voight One Shot series), I am always looking for ideas. As always, reviews are appreciated.
