Liv woke up to a pair of strong arms holding her close. She smiled as she turned in his arms he grinned and gave her a sweet gentle kiss.
"Morning Liv."
"Morning Rafi."
They both listened for the sounds of kids, hearing the TV on in kids bedroom, they figured the kids were watching. Liv snuggled closer to Raf. Raf smiled and kissed the top of her head, breathing in her shampoo.
"So what do you think about Connor meeting Elliot?"
Raf looked at her.
"I don't know Liv, to be honest Connor has only known one father but I can't decide what's best for our son or for him?" Raf answered getting up putting on pants.
"I want Elliot to know him but I just don't know.
"How about this, you text him and ask to meet us at the park? That way it's neutral territory, Noah and Sierra can also be involved so Connor ain't put on the spot?" he said as he wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her neck.
Liv kissed him.
"That sounds good."
"Okay, text him, I'll get the kids ready," Raf started to pull away when Liv stopped his arms.
"Thank you, Rafi."
"For better or worse Liv. i meant that when I proposed."
Raf went to get the kids while Liv texted Elliot.
L- Hey, going to the park, you want to come along?
E- Yeah, which one?
L- The one that's not far from the precinct remember?
E- Yeah, can be there in an hour.
L- Okay.
At the Park
Elliot arrived at the park, and spotted Liv near a bench. He got closer seeing Rafael with 3 kids near the sand box, he spotted the two boys wondering which one was his. He walked up to Liv and sat down.
"Hi." Liv said looking uncomfortable.
" Hey."
"So, that's your family?" Elliot asked gesturing over to Raf, Sierra, Noah and Connor.
"Yeah."
"All yours?"
"No Noah the dark haired boy is adopted, the little girl is Raf's from his first marriage and the boy with brown hair is Connor." Liv said, watching them play.
Elliot nodded. He didn't move just watch him playing with the little girl, Noah and Liv's fiance.
"Would you like to go over and meet him?"Liv said.
Elliot looked at her.
"As what? Daddy?"
"Just say hi, and interact with him. He's a little shy, but Noah helps him."
"Okay, what about your?"
"Fiancee. He'll back off a little."
Elliot nodded, getting up he walked over, hearing Noah and Connor giggling about something with Raf. Raf saw him first and nodded. Elliot nodded and crouched down, Connor looked at him and went back to playing.
"Hi Connor, hi Noah."
"Hi." Noah said and went back to playing.
Connor just looked at him then Noah, finally Raf.
"Say hello, Connor." Raf said softly.
"Hi." Connor said shyly, and went back to playing.
Raf looked over to Liv, she nodded at Elliot and waved him over.
"Come on Sierra, I think your diaper needs to be changed," He said as he lifted her up.
Raf got up and left Elliot, Connor and Noah. He came over and sat beside Liv.
Elliot watched as Noah and Connor took buckets and made a sand castle. Elliot noticed Connor was shy but Noah wasn't. After watching them play Elliot got up and walked over.
"Mami!" Noah yelled.
"Papi!" Connor yelled.
Both came toward Noah launching himself at Liv, while Connor sat beside Raf and cuddled up to him. Elliot felt his heart bust when Connor called Raf 'Papi." Raf handed Sierra to Liv.
"Can we talk?" Raf asked Elliot.
Elliot looked at Liv then at Raf.
"Sure."
They both got up leaving the kids with Liv. They walked around the park, Raf looked around catching Noah and Connor playing. He smiled, Elliot saw this.
"You know I'm planning on adopting Connor when we get married." Raf said looking at him.
"I figured you would."
Raf nodded.
"Look Rafael, I'm not looking to try and get custody or even try to get visitation. I just want to get to know my son." Elliot looked at him.
Raf nodded.
"I just want what's best for Connor and Liv. I know he's your son but I've known him since he was just two days old."
"So you were?"
"Every close friends from the time I came to SVU, boyfriend after a psychopath kidnapped her. I took care of Connor, and when everything was settled there she adopted Noah."
When Elliot heard she was kidnapped.
"Was she ok? I mean obviously she is." Elliot shook his head.
"Yeah, eventually it took a while, wouldn't let Connor out of her sight. That's about the time Noah came along."
Elliot nodded.
They headed back to where Liv and kids were. Liv smiled at them, seeing both unharmed Raf sat beside her, taking Sierra in his arms.
"I got to get going, I'm going to stop in on Lizzie. She still lives here."
"Okay, if you want to meet again just text." Liv said.
"Thanks for letting me meet him Liv."
"You're welcome."
Elliot left. Liv looked at Raf.
"Wasn't that bad?" Raf asked.
"No." she shook her head.
Raf smiled and kissed her.
"How about let's go and grab a pizza for dinner on the way home?" Raf asked.
Liv nodded.
Raf called Noah and Connor over, went home, they ate dinner, Raf,Liv,Sierra,Connor, and Noah cuddled on the couch as Raf read a bedtime story. Liv put Noah down, because Connor wanted his Papi to tuck him in tonight. After Connor was tucked in, with his stuffed black and white dog that Raf had gotten him on his and Liv's first date. Connor fell asleep Raf bent down and kissed his forehead.
"Night mijo."
"Night Papi."
Raf smiled and went to check on Liv, walking into Noah's room he kissed him goodnight.
"Night mijo."
"Night Papi," Noah whispered.
He went to their room, seeing Liv laying Sierra down. He walked up behind her and kissed her. She smiled and laid Sierra down, turning in his arms.
"Thanks for today, I know it wasn't easy." Liv whispered.
"Anything for you, Liv Always." Raf kissed her.
They fell into bed.
"Love you Rafi."
"Love you Liv to the moon and back."
