A/N: This chapter mentions parts from the January 4th episode of SVU. I don't own any of the characters.
Olivia was sitting at her desk reading a case file before calling it a day when Hank showed up at the Precinct.
"Hey."
"Hank, what are you doing here?"
"I missed you."
"I missed you too. Did you ever tell Erin about us?"
"Nope. It's no one's business but ours. Olinsky and Platt know but they won't say anything."
"The three that work here are starting to become suspicious."
"That's why I waited until I knew you were alone. Did you ever tell Tucker that you cheated on him?"
"Nope. I didn't feel guilty about it and I'm certainly not sorry it happened."
"I'm not either."
"It actually made my decision to end things with him a lot easier. Noah keeps asking when we're going to Chicago for our vacation."
"So far, I've been the only one doing the traveling but I don't mind."
"I know. I'm really sorry about that. I know I could bring Noah but then I'd have to let them know I was leaving. It's a little easier for you to get away. I was planning to wait until it was a little warmer before I brought Noah to Chicago."
"As much as I want this to work, I hate the distance."
"I know. Me too."
Olivia got up and was standing next to Hank. They started inching closer, so they could kiss but then Fin came back.
"Damn it!"
Fin saw Hank and poked his head into Olivia's office.
"Hey, Voight."
"Hey, Fin."
"Do we have another case or somethin'?"
"What?"
"Do we have another case? Why is Voight here?"
"Uh, he has a case similar to something we worked on and he needed some info on it. Instead of waiting for next week for me to send the file, he came to look at it in person."
"Uh huh! What case?"
"I already have it here some place."
"Lying doesn't work well for you, Liv. What's goin' on?"
"Fine. Promise me you won't tell anyone."
"I promise. Don't forget, it's me you're talkin' to and not Carisi."
"Yeah. Rollins and Carisi do not need to know about this and neither does Hank's squad. Hank and I have been seeing each other since after I broke up with Tucker. Well, sort of before."
"What do you mean by sort of before?"
"The last time I was in Chicago when you got a call or text from Carisi about Hank and me kissing, Hank came to my hotel room after he left Molly's and didn't leave until shortly before Carisi and I left for the airport the next morning. I didn't feel guilty about it. I was planning to kick Tucker to the curb anyway but this gave me more of an incentive to do it. Hank makes me so happy."
"I'm glad. You have seemed a lot happier lately but I thought that was just because you got rid of Tucker. You haven't gone to Chicago since though, have you?"
"No. It's easier for him to disappear for a few days than it is for me."
"How does Noah feel about this?"
"They get along really well. He seems to be very comfortable with Hank. The last time Hank was here and we got a call, I left them together. Noah had his bath and was sound asleep by the time I got back. All the times I left him with Ed, he wouldn't go to sleep until I got home."
"That just shows you how inexperienced he really is with kids."
"You would think that after us being together for a year, he'd know how to deal with Noah. When Ed told me he wanted to retire, he asked me if I was ready to join him. We had that case with Quinn and Sergeant Cole, I had thought about it but after I killed Sergeant Cole when he was holding a gun to Carisi's head, Carisi said he hoped I wasn't planning to retire. I told him I wanted the opposite. If Hank were to tell me he wanted to retire and wanted me to do it with him, I may consider it now."
"I'm not ready to retire yet though."
"Neither am I but I'd do it for you. I feel my life is actually going somewhere with you."
"Erin is still pushing for us to be together."
"When I bring Noah to Chicago, we can finally come clean with everyone about us."
"That soon?"
"You don't know when I'm bringing him out there. When do you want to tell them?"
"Maybe after we're married, whenever that might be."
"So, in other words, you don't want anyone to find out?"
"It's not their business."
"You want to marry me?"
"Eventually, yes."
"Then we can't keep sneaking around like we have been. I want people to know that I'm with the most wonderful man in the world."
Olivia started kissing Hank but little did they know was that Rollins and Carisi had come in with Erin and the kids.
"You two are so busted!"
"For crying out loud, Erin!"
"So, this is where you go when you disappear for a few days. Don't I have a right to know where my father is at all times?"
"No."
"Someone should know."
"Someone does know. Olinsky knows where I am and so does Platt."
"Why do they know and not your own flesh and blood?"
"Because they actually know how to keep a secret."
"I can keep a secret."
"Really?"
"Hank, don't be mad at Erin. Honestly, I don't care who knows about us. I just want us to be together."
"I do too but it's no one's business but ours."
"I agree but we're really not sneaking around anymore."
"I honestly had no idea that you'd be here. We've been trying to get you two together. How long have you been sneaking around?"
"Since I went to her hotel room that night after I left Molly's."
"Then what happened?"
"What the hell do you think happened? I left shortly before she and Carisi left for the airport the next morning."
Amanda looked at Carisi.
"What?"
"Did you know about this?"
"When I got off the elevator on Liv's floor, I saw a guy that looked like Voight getting on the other elevator but I couldn't say for sure if it was him."
"You call yourself a cop? You texted us and told us they had kissed at Molly's but you couldn't tell us you saw Voight at the hotel?"
Rollins!"
"What?"
"It wasn't my place to say anything. That was between her and Voight. Although I think we can all agree that we're happy she's no longer with Tucker."
"Yeah. I'm sorry I snapped at you. I know it's not our business."
"It's ok."
"Liv, I'm sorry too."
"It's ok, Rollins. I've been questioning myself in a lot of things lately. My relationship with Tucker was one of them. He wanted me to retire with him and I considered it at first but after that case that we had with Quinn and Sergeant Cole when he was holding a gun to Carisi's head, I knew I wasn't done. I still blame myself for what happened to Dodds. I wasn't about to lose someone else I care about and have to deal with all that again."
"I will always be grateful to you for what you did. You know that."
"I know. Thank you for keeping my secret from the last Chicago trip."
"You're welcome."
"As for you, Sergeant Voight, I want people to know we're a couple. I want us to be able to be out in public together and hold hands or if I want to kiss you, I can kiss you."
"Then maybe you can come to Chicago instead of me coming here all the time."
"So, then we won't have to wait until we get married to tell everyone?"
"Now that Erin knows, everyone in Chicago will know."
"Have I gotten my phone out and texted anyone yet? No."
I can guarantee that as soon as you walk out that door, you'll be on the phone with Halstead."
Erin stuck her tongue out at Hank.
"That's mature."
"I can call my boyfriend if I want to."
"Just remember, if he ever plans on proposing, he needs to ask me first. Then I can say no."
"Hey! I forgot to ask this but did a DNA test confirm this?"
"Yeah."
"Bunny tried denying it when I told her I knew the truth."
"I know. She called me and asked me how long I've known. I told her it didn't matter. She did offer condolences for Justin, which surprised me."
"She does have a heart in there somewhere."
"I know you're planning to come to Chicago with Noah but I was wondering if you wanted to go to Scottsdale with me. I want to introduce you to my grandson and daughter-in-law."
"How long are you planning to be there?"
"Friday to Monday, so next weekend actually. Erin and I are going and I want you and Noah to come with us."
"That works. I will plan to go to Chicago for the rest of the week."
"Fine with me. I will plan on taking off from next Friday through the following weekend. I will arrange your flight from here to out there, then back to Chicago from there and also from Chicago back here."
"That's fine but I'm paying for my accommodations in Chicago."
"No, you're not."
"Why not?"
"You're staying with me. That's why."
"Oh, I am?"
"Yep. I stay with you when I'm here, don't I?"
"Yes. So, you really want to introduce me to your grandson?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Liv, does Voight know about Lewis?"
"Oh yeah. I told him about that a while ago. He's seen all the scars, obviously."
"Scars don't bother me. They never have. I've gotten enough of them of my own over the years."
"Cassidy saw all your scars after Lewis, right?"
"Yeah. I actually had a pregnancy scare with him. I'm not sure how well that would have worked out. That was right around the time we found a certain baby boy, my favorite little guy."
"Me."
"Yes, you."
"Obviously Tucker knew already."
"Yeah."
"That's a scary image."
"What?"
"You and Tucker in the bedroom. Haden and Langan were both good lookin'."
"Oh yeah. I was with David for a while but Trevor and I never dated at all. Tucker wasn't anything to brag about in the bedroom. Right now, I'm happier than I have ever been in my entire life."
"Are you and Tucker still on speaking terms?"
"Pretty much. He didn't seem to be too upset when I ended things but he said we could still be friends."
"That's good."
"Yeah, it is. I'm ready to call it a day, so I can be with my boys."
Hank got Olivia her coat and then they all left. Olivia and Hank dropped Noah and Erin off at the apartment and then the two of them went out for dinner. They told Erin they would bring something back for her. Erin spent a little time bonding with Noah before putting him to bed. Erin found something to watch on TV until Hank and Olivia returned from dinner. They called it a night and then went into the bedroom to make love before going to sleep. Erin stayed on the sofa. Before Hank and Erin returned to Chicago, Hank told Olivia he loved her and she told him she loved him as well.
