A/N: This is the last chapter of this story. I don't own any of the characters.
Hank and Al had both put their papers in and were planning to retire on the same day, which they both thought was appropriate, since they had been cops for the same amount of time. Hank sold his house and was preparing to move to New York and Al and Meredith had found a place not too far away from where Hank, Olivia and Noah were living, so they were moving to New York as well. Hank and Al were looking forward to spending their retirement together and since Noah was now on his summer vacation, Hank was looking forward to spending time with his newly adopted son as well.
Antonio was officially taking over Intelligence and had recently taken the Sergeant's exam. The Unit was having a retirement party for Hank and Al but they had also decided to have a reception for Hank and Olivia, since they never officially celebrated their marriage with either of the squads after everything that had happened. Olivia and her squad, along with Noah, had been invited to Hank and Al's party but Olivia did not know that the party was also for her. They invited Peter Stone, Elliot, Kathy and Eli and of course Lucy. Kim, Hailey, Erin, Trudy, Meredith, Olive and Amanda had done most of the work and they had decided to have it at one of Hank's favorite restaurants. When Erin, Olivia, her squad, Lucy and the kids arrived in Chicago, they headed to the District and went in.
"Hey."
"Hey, Trudy."
"I can't believe they're both retiring and moving to New York."
"I'll be glad to Hank with us all the time."
Hank and Al had returned from Headquarters.
"Daddy!"
Noah ran up to Hank and gave him a hug.
"Hey, Buddy. Hey, Beautiful."
"Hey."
Hank kissed Olivia.
"I missed you."
"I missed you too."
"Hey there, old guy."
"Nice to see you too, Erin."
"Are you two enjoying your last day?"
"Yep and we're not working. I think they're glad to be getting rid of both of us."
"Al, have you and Meredith sold your house yet?"
"We did. It seems so strange to be leaving Chicago."
"It does for me too."
"It also seems like we're leaving Lexi behind, since she's buried here."
"I know how you feel, since both Camille and Justin are buried here. It's not like we won't be back."
"Yeah, that's true."
Everyone went upstairs and Olivia went into Hank's office. She sat down on the sofa and then he came in and sat down next to her. He put his arm around her and kissed her.
"You don't know how bad I want to make love to you right now."
"I think I know. I want you just as much. I love you so much."
"I love you too."
"We never did celebrate our marriage with our squads."
"Nope."
Noah came in and plopped down on Hank's lap. Jesse followed and crawled up on Olivia's lap.
"You going to miss this?"
"Nope. I'd rather be with you and our son. We still have to decide where we want to go on our honeymoon."
"Yes, we sure do."
In the Bullpen, everyone else was talking.
"Is everything set for their honeymoon?"
"Yep. It was so fun planning this. Noah is actually good at keeping a secret."
"Where are they going?"
"We decided on LA. That way she can spend some time with Amaro. We invited him to this but he wasn't able to make it. Noah, Daniel, Olive and I are going too. Noah really wanted to go to Disneyland, so they're going to have to deal with having him around."
"That sounds like a great trip. There's a lot to see out there."
"Yeah. I'm glad I was able to get some time off. It'll give the 6 of us some time to spend together as a family. Lucy gets some time off from Noah."
"I don't mind. He's my favorite."
"Jesse is so jealous that Noah gets to go to Disneyland. I need to take her on a vacation somewhere."
"Are you going to go see your mom?"
"I should but I don't want to."
"She won't say anything, will she?"
"No. I told her that it was a secret from Auntie Liv and Uncle Hank."
Olivia and Hank came out of his office with the kids. Hank was carrying Jesse and she had her arms wrapped around him.
"Who's got you, baby girl?"
"Uncle Hank."
"I'm going to take Olivia and Noah to Navy Pier."
"Ok. Have fun."
Amanda took Jesse and then Hank, Olivia and Noah left to head to Navy Pier. Several hours had passed and it was time for the party. Hank and Al knew about the party. Everyone else that was coming in had already arrived and they were all at the restaurant. When Hank arrived, the 3 of them got out of the SUV and Hank took Olivia's hand as they walked inside.
"There he is."
"I knew about it."
"We were hoping you'd show up."
"Of course I was going to show up."
"We are also celebrating your marriage."
"How sweet of you!"
Olivia hugged everyone and so did Hank.
"I see you invited Elliot."
"Of course they did. I wouldn't miss this."
"I owe you so much for everything you did."
"No, you don't. I still think of you as my best friend."
"You know, I couldn't think of a better person to have done it though. I just don't get why he became so obsessed with Liv though."
"Who knows?"
"I was willing to give him another chance after everything he put all of us through over the years but he became too possessive of me. He never cared about me or Noah. Anyway, Elliot, I appreciate everything."
"I know you do. I'm just glad you let me back into your life."
"To be honest, I wasn't sure how I would react if you ever came back into my life. Fin had asked me that same question and I said I'd let you explain before I had Hank beat you up."
"He's a great guy and this is the happiest I have ever seen you."
"Thanks and yes, I am very happy. My only regret is that allowed myself to get close to Tucker instead of admitting my true feelings for Hank from the very beginning. Hank is definitely my true love."
"I know you have never had the best of luck with the men in your life."
"That's an understatement. Hank is so amazing and he is everything I ever wanted in a husband and he's a great dad to Noah. Did you meet Hank's daughter-in-law and grandson?"
"Yeah. Erin introduced us. How do you like the grandma thing?"
"I love it. Daniel is an amazing little boy and he and Noah get along so well."
"Gramma, Papa!"
"Hey, Daniel!"
"Hi Sweetheart."
Daniel gave both Hank and Olivia a hug and then Olive came over.
"Hey."
"Hey, Olive."
Olive hugged them both.
"Presents."
"We should give them their present?"
"Yeah. Now."
Erin came over.
"This is from Olive, the boys and me."
Erin handed the envelope to Olivia, so she opened it.
"Oh my!"
"What?"
"The 6 of us are going to LA for a week."
"What?"
"There are tickets for Disneyland."
"This is for your honeymoon."
"Yet the 4 of you are going?"
"We're paying for it and the boys really want to go to Disneyland. The two of you are sitting in First Class and have a suite all to yourselves, so that's your alone time."
"We love it. Thank you so much. I can also see Nick, while we're out there."
"You're welcome and that was basically the reason for it. Nick was unable to make it for this but he knows we're coming out there."
Hank and Olivia hugged their family.
"Liv, who's Nick?"
"He was my partner after you left and he was basically a younger version of you. He got in trouble many times with IAB. He wanted to take the Sergeant's exam but Tucker told me he'd never be promoted even if he received a perfect score on the exam."
"Yet the NYPD kept promoting Tucker."
"Exactly."
"I'm proud of you for making Lieutenant though. I'm not so sure I would have wanted to move up the ranks."
"It's a lot of headaches."
"I remember that from Cragen and Munch never liked being in charge when Cragen was off."
"Fin didn't like having to take the exam but he's damn good at what he does."
"Aw, thanks, Liv."
"These two are too."
"Thanks, Liv."
"So, Sarge, what are you going to do with yourself?"
"Noah is off of school for the summer, so he and I will hang out. Al and I will be able to hang out together too."
"Since you're the reason we're moving to New York."
"I'm ready for the change."
"I am too."
"Meredith and I are planning to get together at least once a week if I'm not working. We bought a townhouse, so Hank has a 'Honey Do' list."
"Have you moved in yet?"
"Not yet. He wants to paint and all that before we move in. Noah wants to pick out the color he wants for his room. Al and Meredith bought a townhouse a couple blocks away from us, so they can help each other out."
"When is your stuff being shipped?"
"Tomorrow."
"We leave tomorrow for the trip."
"Well, then I guess nothing gets done before we get moved."
"I got you covered, Hank. Don't worry."
"Al, you sure?"
"Yeah. Fin and Carisi offered to help."
"Thanks."
"No problem. Meredith, Lucy and Rollins are in charge of making sure the apartment is packed up."
"We can help too."
"Absolutely."
"Maybe we could fly out there and help out."
"Do you know what color Noah wants?"
"I know. I asked him and he showed me."
"Thank you. This means so much to us."
"You're welcome."
Olivia hugged everyone and then they ate. After the party, everyone left and went home. Hank and his family went to the cemetery before they went home and spent the last night in his house. Hank packed his suitcase for the trip and then he and Olivia made love before falling asleep. The next morning, they had all gotten up early and got ready. They made sure everything was packed before the movers got there. Once the movers left, they headed to the airport and grabbed something to eat. A few hours later, they boarded the flight to LA.
During the next week, they spent time with Nick, went to Disneyland, Universal Studios and saw a lot of the other sights in the area. The group from Intelligence, Trudy and some of the group from 51 went to New York to help get Hank and Olivia's townhouse ready for them to move in. After saying goodbye to Olive and Daniel in LA, Hank, Olivia, Erin and Noah headed back to New York. By the time they arrived at their new place, they were surprised that everything was already unpacked and they didn't have to do anything.
Hank was happy with his decision to retire and move to New York to be with Olivia and Noah and of course Erin. He knew he was going to miss Chicago and the memories he had made there but he knew the move to New York would be good for him as he would be able to make new memories with Olivia and Noah. He was glad that Al and Meredith decided to head to New York as well. He and Al had been friends a long time and he knew he still owed Al for taking the blame for Bingham's murder. He had hoped that entire thing was now behind them for good and they would all be able to enjoy their new lives in their new homes.
