Rafael thought it was time to go see the squad. Peter was working with them now, so it was a win-win for Rafael to see his boyfriend and his old squad. Peter had told him he was going down there to get caught up on their case.

"Are you sure?" Raf asked.

"Yeah, unless you're not ready?"

"I think I am."

"Well, come on down when you get off lunch, and I'll get Liv to order your favorite from whatever place they get it from."

"Okay, I'll be there."

"Love you, Rafa."

"Love you too, babe."

Lunch came quickly, and Raf texted Peter to tell him he was on his way down. When he got there, the bullpen was empty with the exception of Peter who was sitting at the round table, making notes.

"Hi." Raf said.

Peter looked up and smiled.

"Hey! Liv went to get lunch. Fin, Rollins, and Carisi are out doing, well...you know whatever they're doing." Peter shrugged.

Raf nodded and sat down beside him, giving him a kiss.

"Hey, Rafa!" Liv said

Raf turned his head towards her and smiled.

"Liv. How are you?"

"Good, and you?"

"Wonderful! How's Noah?"

"Okay. He still asks about Sheila and has been wondering where you've been?"

"I need to come to one of his ball games one of these days."

"He only has three more. Then it will be the end of the season."

"Oh, well if you give me the time and place I'll be there." Raf smiled.

"Okay, I will." Liv put the food on the table, then Raf sat back down beside Peter. Liv went to her office to get something.

"You two always like that?" Peter asked Rafael.

"For the last six years, minus the first four to five months we worked together. Why? Jealous?"

"No. She calls me Peter, but other than that we don't have the connection like the two of you do."

"It'll come. She didn't call me Rafa until last year." Raf said.

"Barba!"

Raf turned and saw Fin shouting at him. Amanda was standing there as well.

"Hey, guys!"

Liv came back out and everyone sat down and ate together.

"Where's Carisi?" Raf asked.

"On his way. He told me he had an errand to run." Amanda said.

Olivia nodded.

Amanda, Liv, and Fin looked at each other then at the other two guys at the table. Raf noticed first,

"What is it, guys? Cat got your tongues?"

"Just trying to figure out how you're doing without actually asking?" Amanda said.

"I'm pretty good...more content than I've ever been since I started with SVU." Rafa smiled looking over at Peter.

Sonny walked in about this time. He was deep in conversation on his cell phone.

"Yeah Bella, I know, I'm on my way." he said, handing something to Olivia.

"Everything okay, Carisi?"

Carisi looked at Raf, then Peter, and then finally at Liv.

"No, Bella's in the hospital. I know little...just that she's scared."

"Okay go. We got you covered,"

"Thanks, Lieu."

Carisi ran off, leaving Liv, Fin, and Amanda looking at Peter and Rafael, Peter looked at Rafael,

"What are you looking at?"

Peter smiled and went back to work, or more to the point pretended to. Rafa's phone pinged, Rafa looked at it, frowned a bit, and took a big bite of his burger.

"What's wrong?" Peter asked.

"Aaaah! just my case!"

"The six month and ten month old... mom's pregnant, and she gets high on whatever she can score?"

"Yeah, Brooklyn PD picked her up again, got to go make sure they settle the kids with the right supervision." Raf got up, kissed him goodbye, saying bye to Olivia, Amanda, and Fin then he was gone.

"You do realize if you hurt him, that the three of us, including Carisi, will kick your ass from here to New Jersey, right?" Liv warned getting up and went into her office.

Peter got wide-eyed and looked at Fin and Amanda,

"What she said." said Fin.

Later that night….

"By the way babe, your squad threatened me after you left today."

Raf chuckled,

"Oh yeah? So they're still my squad, huh?" Raf smiled and laid his head on Peter's chest, feeling his arms around him.

"You know what I mean." Peter said, rubbing his back.

Raf chuckled.

"They're not lying, either."

"I know." Peter whispered kissing Raf's head,

Both fell asleep in minutes.
