Barson- I need you

Working Together

The next morning Liv woke up and felt Barba's strong arms against her waist. She smiled. Suddenly Noah started crying and Barba woke up. He started kissing Liv's neck.

Benson: "I need to go grab Noah."

Barba stopped kissing her and she got up to go get Noah. Barba got up too and followed Liv down the hall. Liv picked up Noah and handed him to Rafael. Barba started to bounce him on his hip. Liv came back from the closet with a cute outfit and dressed him.

Barba: "I'm going to make breakfast. What would you like?"

Benson: "Can you maybe make breakfast burritos?"

Barba: "You got it. I love you."

He leaned over and kissed Liv on the cheek and went to the kitchen and started to cook. Liv came out dressed with Noah and the three of them ate breakfast. Barba had to be at work at 9 and Liv at 8:30 so Rafael decided to drop Noah off at daycare. Liv drove herself to the squad room and walked in to her office and put her stuff down. 

Tutuola: "Morning Liv, we got a case."

Benson: "How bad?"

Tutuola: "It's bad. We have three 4 year old boys raped and murdered in the past 24 hours."

Benson: "Oh my god."

Liv and Finn went out into the squad room and discussed the details of the case with the rest of the squad. Rollins started combing through the school Facebook page and found a breakthrough. In the back of all the pictures was a man taking pictures of the kids. The ran his face through facial recognition and got a hit. 

Rollins: "We're going to need to call Barba. I've got a hit. He's a sex offender named Charles Matson and I've found him in the back of all the photos."

Benson: "Ok Finn, call Barba and tell him it's urgent."

Finn called Barba and within 15 minutes he was at the squad room.

Barba: (Walking In) "What do we have"

Rollins: "Three 4 year old boys raped and murdered. We need warrants. We have a suspect. His name is Charles Matson."

Barba: "I'm on it. Benson, your office please."

Liv followed Barba into her office and shut the door and blinds.

Benson: "What's up?"

Barba: "Tell me you know exactly where Noah is."

Benson: "Yeah, you dropped him off earlier right?"

Barba: "Yeah. Liv I don't want him there. I want my son with me."

Benson: "Ok, so why don't you pick him up after you get the warrants?"

Barba: "Sounds good. I'm going to go grab those warrants."

Benson: "Ok, and Rafi... I love that you called him your son."

Barba walked out and got the warrants signed by a judge. On his way back to the station, he ran to the daycare. 

Barba: "I'm here to pick up Noah Benson."

Desk Lady: "Ok, what's your name?"

Barba: "Rafael Barba."

Desk Lady: " I'll go grab him right now Mr. Barba."

The desk lady came back 5 minutes later without Noah.

Barba: "Where's Noah?"

Desk Lady: "The teacher says she hasn't seen him in about 10 minutes."

Barba: "What the hell do you mean?"

Barba ran into the daycare room.

Barba: (Running and screaming) "Noah, mijo where are you? NOAH!!"

Barba ran over to the coat closet and opened it and found Noah on the floor bleeding. 

Barba: "Oh my god Noah. Someone call an ambulance."

The lady from the desk called an ambulance and 5 minutes later they were there. Rafael lifted Noah onto the stretcher and the two of them got into the ambulance.

Barba: (On the phone) "Liv, something's happened."

Benson: "What is it, why are there sirens?"

Barba: "It's Noah, I don't know what happened. Just meet me at the hospital!"

The ambulance pulled up at the hospital and Barba hopped out. They pulled Noah out on the stretcher and put him on the hospital bed.  The doctor came down and examined him. They decided that he needed stitches and had a concussion. By the time Liv got there he was stitched up and his head was bandaged. When Liv walked in she saw Barba laying in the bed with Noah with the little boy's head on Rafael's chest.

Benson: "Rafi, what happened?"

Barba: "He slipped while getting his coat and hit his head on the coat hook. He has a concussion and needed stitches."

Benson: "I was terrified that this had to do with the case."

Barba: "Well, we're lucky it didn't have anything to do with it."

Just then Noah woke up and looked at Barba.

Noah: "Papi, you're here."

Barba just started crying.

Barba: "Yeah mijo, I'm here."

Benson: "He called you Papi."

Barba: (through his tears) "I know Liv, I know"
