"You little bitch, I know you're a cop." The guy was saying, pushing Amanda who could barely fight him off, onto the bed.

"NYPD, step away from her!" Benson yelled as they burst into the room.

Dodds grabbed him and tore him off of Amanda, punching him in the face. "Hey!" Benson yelled as Carissi and Fin pulled him off, dragging the guy away. "Dodds!"

But he ignored her and crouched down beside Amanda as Olivia called for an ambulance. "Hey, Amanda, hey, look at me, you're okay sweetheart, it's okay, hey, stay with me."

"Mike… I'm sorry…"

"Shhh, it's okay, you're okay Amanda."

The ambulance got there and pushed him out of the way as they tended to her, figuring that she had been date raped drugged. Carissi came back a few minutes later, confirming this. "He said the bartender tipped him off that the cops were onto him and he paid him $500 to drug Amanda so he could revenge."

"Son of a bitch. We got him now." Olivia said. "She's going to be okay, they're just taking her to the hospital just in case. Go." She told Dodds. "We will discuss this when she's conscious."

He nodded and him and Carissi headed to the hospital together. "Look, I know you were mad at her earlier, it wasn't her fault, there's nothing between us."

"I know." He sighed. "I guess just seeing her with you, know that you're a better man than me, better with Jesse, just kind of got to me and I took it out on her. I'm sorry."

"For what it's worth, she says you're great with Jesse and she does love you. I wouldn't doubt her feelings. Me and her are just friends."

"I know. Thanks Carissi."

"Y'know, I hope that we can be fiends too." He said.

"We can try." Dodds agreed. "For Amanda."

"Of course. She's going to be okay."

"I know."

They got to the hospital and the doctor explained that she just had to sleep off the drug, they would keep her overnight for observation and then if everything was good they'd release her in the morning.

"She's awake, are you Mike? She's asking for you." Dodds nodded and the nurse showed him to her room.

"Hey baby, you scared me there." He said, grabbing her hand gently.

"I'm sorry." She said.

"You have nothing to be sorry for. Don't worry my darling."

"For the Carissi stuff and for doing the undercover, I should have noticed, fought him off."

"Amanda, they drugged you, the bartender is getting charged, he helped that piece of shit. None of this is your fault darling, you did everything right. And I was a jerk earlier." He chuckled.

"Kind of." She laughed.

"Me and Carissi talked, we're good, we're going to try hanging out the three of us, since we know we're both important to you."

"Really?"

"Yes and I'm sorry. Also, Liv knows, I kind of freaked out tonight. I punched that guy, I was a nervous wreck. I'm probably getting transferred. But I don't want you to worry about any of that. I promise you nothing will change for you… why are you crying baby?"

"Because I love you."

He smiled, "I love you too." He said, placing a kiss to the top of her head. "We'll work this out." He promised, just glad that she was okay.

There was a knock on the door and Liv walked in. Dodds backed away from Amanda even though she already knew about them. "How are you feeling?" She asked Amanda.

"I'm okay." She said. "They're making me stay overnight."

"You were drugged, it's just a precaution. I called your nanny for you and she's going to stay overnight with Jesse. You're off for five days, non-negotiable. And when you're back, the three of us will have a chat." She said and with that she left.

Amanda sighed and looked up at Dodds. "Don't worry." He told her, grabbing her hand.

She took it easy for the next few days. Spending time with Jesse and Dodds when he wasn't at work. Finally, she was able to go back. They walked in together that morning. Liv gesturing them into her office as soon as they walked in. "Good luck" Carissi mouthed to her.

"Welcome back Rollins… I believe we need to address a relationship that the two of you have been hiding for… how long?"

"About four months." Dodds answered for them.

"Hmm… I know that Dodds, you wanted to be removed from the unit, however, I cannot afford to lose a Sargent right now."

Amanda sucked in a breath. She saw this coming. "You're not transferring her." He said automatically.

"Hold on. I also can't afford to lose Amanda. For now, I am going to let you both continue in this unit. However, you need to keep it professional, especially during under cover ops." She said, giving him a stern look. "One mess up and I'll be forced to transfer and yes that could be Rollins even if you offer to go." She told Dodds. "Don't give me a reason to need to."

"Thank you, Lieutenant." Amanda said and Dodds nodded his thanks as well.

"I can't believe she's letting us both stay." Amanda said on their way home that night. "The number of times she's wanted to transfer me but needed the people is getting very high."

He chuckled. "You must be a good detective then." He said, wrapping an arm around his waist. "I wouldn't have let us affect your job, I said that from the beginning."

"I know."
