Author's Note: I added to chapter 6.

Rafael and Olivia fell asleep on the couch. Barba wasn't sure which one of them fell asleep first, but he slept well. He got up at 6AM, and left for the office at 6:30. Olivia woke up at 6:15, and neither of them knew how to explain the sleepover to Noah. Nothing happened but Noah wasn't used to anyone being in the apartment in the very early morning besides his mother. Before he left she wished him a good morning, and gave him a cup of coffee.

He saw her again at the courthouse when she testified for the jury. He smiled when he caught a glimpse of her at recess. Her phone rang, she answered quickly, and ran out. Sometimes Rafael Barba hated phones. He hadn't heard from her since, but at 6:PM his phone rang. It was now 6:15PM, and he nervously entered the station. He stopped at Amanda Rollins desk. "Rollins, what is it?" He often got called to the station, but it was usually Olivia who placed the call. It was not a good sign when the call came from anyone but her.

"Hey Barba" The young blond said. picking up a cup of coffee and sipping quickly before placing it down on her desk and continuing "I thought you would want to be here as soon as Carisi and Fin brought this guy in, and when Olivia got back from the hospital."

"What?" Barba exclaimed "Where is she? What hospital?" He turned to exit. His mind raced, he had to get to her.

"Hold on Barba, stay here. She's on her way, there's no point in you going to Mercy hospital by the time you get there, she'll be here." He turned to face the desk again.

"Rollins what happened?" Amanda knew from the look on Barba's face she needed to start talking. He needed to be brought up to speed and quickly. He looked like he was about to explode with fear.

"Can I get you some coffee?"

"Rollins don't take this the wrong way, but start talking." He almost growled. "What happened to her?"

"She'll be fine. She's on her way back here." Barba took a deep breath, he believed Rollins knew what she was talking about, as of now she had more information than he did, but relieve would not wash over him until he saw Olivia.

"Rollins start from the beginning", he said trying to sound calm.

"Not long ago a new bar opened up called The Playground, and since then tips have been coming in about a guy. This guy sits at a table alone, picks a woman, and tracks her movements all night. When the woman is about to leave the bar, he makes himself known by saying goodnight to her. When she exits he runs after her, drags her to a nearby alley, beats and rapes her."

"What happened to Olivia?" Barba asked again finding it hard to keep his voice controlled.

"She's fine. This guy. we call him the good night rapist. He has a type confidant , brunette, curvy, the kind of women who looks like she works out all the time, and can kick a man's ass."

"Liv" Barba interrupted.

"Exactly, Liv is his idea of the perfect woman."

"How comforting. Barba said sarcastically. "She is your lieutenant" , he found it hard to keep the anger and fear out of his voice "What was she doing undercover?"

"If this guy could put his specifications for the perfect woman into a computer, out would pop Liv."

"Again very comforting."

"Sorry she's my friend. You know Liv. All I'm saying is that once she understood that she was his type she had to go get him, there was no talking her out of it."

"She's on her way?"

"Yeah" Rollins answered. "She didn't want to go to the hospital. I called Lucy."

"Good. when is this Neanderthal getting here?" At that moment Carisi walked in, Fin was close by walking behind a handcuffed man. Carisi opened an interrogation room, and quickly walked in.

"You think you could do that to my partner punk? Think again." Fin said leading the man into the interrogation room. Rollins looked at Barba, and all she saw was rage.

"Barba" Rollins called, he gave no answer. She walked over to the coffee pot. "Barba" she called again. He blinked this time. "Sit, take some coffee, there was a chair next to Rollins desk, and he sat in in. He reached for the coffee she offered. She'll be here soon."

"Not soon enough" Barba answered finally. Amanda knew that nothing she said would help, Barba needed to see that Olivia was safe for himself. "I'm going to the hospital. Barba said getting up from the chair and throwing away the coffee cup.

"No stay, she'll be here" Rollins insisted. Barba looked at his watch. It was 7PM. He walked to a corner of the room and began to pace.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

"Rollins" Olivia said entering the room, and walking strait toward Amanda Rollin's desk. Olivia was wearing a form fitting off the shoulder sapphire blue dress that stopped above the knee. She didn't see Barba standing in the corner, he stopped pacing the moment he heard her voice "The son of a bitch lawyer-up yet"

"No, you Ok Liv?"

"I will be when I get a crack at him."

"you're not going in there." Without thinking she turned at the sound of Barba's voice. She had one small bruise on each cheek, and a small cut above her left eye.

Olivia quickly turned back to Rollins. "You called Barba?" She said softly, she sounded mortified.

"I thought he would want to be here."

"You won't get a confession out of this guy for hours Amanda. You couldn't wait till I got out of these clothes."

"Liv I'm sorry." Amanda said, and she meant it. Over the years Olivia became one of her best friends, but she had never seen Olivia embarrassed Olivia nodded.

"If I can't get a crack at that pervert now. I need a minute." Olivia said turning and walking to her office. Barba could see it was difficult for her to walk. When she got to her office she shut the door.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

Olivia had been sitting in her office writing notes for at least 10 minutes. When she felt she could not write another word, she put her pen down, and walked to her office door again. She took a deep breath. She could sense Barba standing outside her office waiting. She took another breath before opening the door, and she found she was right, there he was. "Come in please?" She said softly. He entered and again she shut the door. Barba stood in front of her. Her arms were crossed. He took off his tan suit jacket, she dropped her arms and allowed him to drape it over her. "Thank-you" She almost whispered.

"What did I say about not giving me a heart attack?" He wanted to hug her so badly, but he wasn't sure she was ready for that. He didn't know what happened.

"Rollins told you about this guy?"

"The Good Night rapist? "Yes."

"He picks a women stalks her in the bar, says good night, and goes after her when she leaves. I left the bar, I slowed down when I got next to the alley. He usually puts his arm around her neck and drags her in, but I turned and took a defensive stance, He said something under his breath. He tried to punch me, but missed. He said things to me, nothing I'm not used to with this job. He tried to punch me again and this time he connected. I punched back hard. This guy loves to talk, he tried to pick me up. I wouldn't let him. He punched again, and I felt his nails. I was about to knee him when Fin ran up. Carisi followed and he called the paramedics. I'm fine. The hospital released me. It will be hours before anyone gets a confession from this guy. Rollins shouldn't have called you. I would have done it."

"Rollins did what she thought was right. He said softly.

"It wasn't time to call the DA in!. Sometimes getting knocked around is part of the job, I know that, I accepted that. I'm not ashamed I took a beating doing my job. I didn't want you to see me like this, dressed like this!"

"Liv you need to tell me if you can't be touched by anyone right now". She took a deep breath but said nothing. Barba stepped closer, and she took one step closer to him. Barba wrapped his arms around her, he held her, and found she held him back. "I was so worried."

"Barba?" Olivia said softly.

"Yes"

"I need to sit down. These heels are killing me."

"Ok. He said letting go, but quickly placing his right arm around her shoulder, he lead her to her office chair, and sat across from her. "Olivia you wrote notes with that hand? Her right hand was swollen.

"It's nothing."

"Let me see."

"What are you a Dr. now too?"

"Olivia, let me see?" She held out her hand and when he took it in his, she winched. This needs more ice. You didn't do anything wrong, You know you can tell me anything this monster said to you?"

"It's all written down, but he called me his perfect woman. He called me a fighter. A lot of the men I have dealt with love a fight, they can't get enough, but if you stop fighting they lose interest."

Barba nodded. He was going to get this waste of a man. "Anything else?" She took a deep breath and tried not to make direct eye contact.

"He couldn't wait to get to his alley, right before he tried to pick me up, he tried to kiss me. That's it."

"I'm taking you home, and I'm sleeping over if there are no objections. Rafael Barba and Olivia Barba walked out of her office.

"Liv I'm sorry" Rollins said again. "I know if I were hurt I would want Carisi here."

"I know Amanda, I'm sorry. You and Carisi have a good weekend."

When Rafael and Olivia exited the station Rafael hailed a cab so Olivia would not have to walk. When a cab rolled up, they got in., and shut the doors. Olivia was grateful it was Friday night. It was such a long day, it was such a long week. She hugged Barba's suit jacket close to her body. It was so cold outside and his jacket warmed her.
