Rafael Barba walked into the precinct one evening hoping to catch his fiancée Olivia Benson before she left so they could go home to their three children, Connor, Noah, and Sierra. They had found each other at the right time. Raf just starting as the Manhattan ADA assigned to SVU cases Liv already had Connor. Later Noah came into her life due to circumstances surrounding a very sad case. When Raf's now ex-wife had left him with his an 8-month-old daughter, he and Liv grew close after the Lewis ordeal and Noah's adoption. Raf helped her jungle two kids when he had one of his own. The shared concerns about raising their kids alone, so Raf stepped up and finally admitted his feelings and they been together for almost a year. Raf into the bullpen, he saw her and some guy he had never seen before.
"Come on Liv, you have kept me away from…"
"Connor."
Connor for long enough I want to meet my son."
Raf looked at this guy seeing a little resemblance in Connor.
"Elliot I never kept Connor from you, I called you and texted you for 3 months after you up and left. You never returned any of my messages."
Raf made his presence known by clearing his throat.
"Liv you ready?"
The guy Elliot looked at him and back at Liv.
"Yeah Rafi, I'm ready." Liv gathered up her things and came to stop beside him.
"Liv…"
"I'll call you later and discuss it," Liv cut Elliot off.
They both headed to the elevator after getting on.
"So I'm taking that is Connor's father?"
"Yeah…. And my old partner, unfortunately, he just came in and started asking me questions."
Raf nodded.
"You okay?" he asked rubbing his hand up and down her arm.
She nodded.
They headed home hand in hand. Arriving home Noah, Sierra, and Connor greeted them. Noah and Connor ran to their mother while Sierra greeted Raf. Connor and Noah had taken to him since he started dating Liv, both Connor and Noah started calling him Papi. While Sierra had taken up with Liv and just recently calling her Mami. Liv smiled when all 3 tackled him, everyone laughing. They fixed dinner, Noah, Connor, and Sierra played while Raf and Liv cuddled. They got the kids in bed. They met in their bedroom.
"So... are you going to call him tomorrow?" Raf asked.
"To be honest Rafi I don't know. I really did try calling him, but he never returned my calls and now almost 3 years later he comes back at the time I've been the happiest in a long time."
Raf laid beside her, smiling. He leaned in and kissed her.
"Hey, look at me." Raf whispered.
Liv looked at him as he wrapped his arms around her.
"I love you, Sierra, Connor, and Noah, nothing is ever going to change that."
"Love you guys too Rafi."
They fell asleep in each other's arms.
