Okay first of all guys I haven't written any fanfiction in ages, I've been super busy with exams and family life but now I'm back! I hope you like this and as always please read and review!

Seeing her so happy, so carefree and so comfortable within herself made his heart swell with joy. It had been a couple of months now since Brian and Olivia had decided to go their separate ways, a decision that neither of them had wanted to make but they both knew if they wanted to be truly happy things had to change.

For Brian not much changed. He was still working ungodly hours at IAB but he did move back in with his mom. She was starting to show her age more and more every day and Brian liked being around to help her. He had always had a close relationship with his mother. Ever since the break-up however, Brian found himself feeling lost, lonely almost. He hadn't felt like this before but he also had never had a relationship like that before. He had never been through so much emotional turmoil with a woman before but he knew that for Olivia it had all been worth it. He loved her, but sometimes love isn't enough. He put his sense of loneliness down to not being able to find someone like Olivia. Any night he went out he would compare every girl who gave him the light of day to Olivia, but nobody compared.

Brian decided the only way to shake this feeling was to go and see Olivia. He just wanted to see how she was and how everything was working out for her. He had talked to her after Lewis had escaped but he knew she wasn't ready to talk about it, at least not to him. He got some time of work and decided to make the most of it. He helped his mom redecorate the living room and then decided he would go and visit Olivia.

As he walked through Central Park he took in his surroundings. He loved the smell of the tress and the sound of children playing. He loved seeing the children run around without a care in the world. The innocence they showed was refreshing. He walked leisurely in the direction of the apartment he had once owned with Olivia. His mind wandered back to their first night there, how they had stayed up for hours trying to get everything sorted and cleaned. When exhaustion had finally set in he remembered how they lay in each other's embrace until they had fallen asleep. He chuckled as he realised just how much his relationship with Olivia had changed. In the beginning it had been purely physical, late nights call to come over and relieve the stresses of the day they had had, but then it changed. Everything just seemed to fall in to place. A mutual respect and love of each other's idiosyncrasies and personalities had blossomed. This casual fling had turned into one of the most meaningful relationships Brian had ever experienced.

He was whisked from his romantic thoughts as he heard a familiar voice. He looked around but didn't see Olivia; he thought he had imagined it. As he sauntered along the pathway however he realised it was Olivia. He stopped dead in his tracks as he absorbed the situation in front of him. Olivia was holding baby close to her chest as she tried to stop his tears. Brian knew that this child was the child that Olivia had spoken of so many times. This was Baby Boy Doe.

"Brian?" Olivia's questioning tone captured Brian from his thoughts. The initial shock of her voice rendered him speechless.

"Brian? Are you okay?" Her voice was sensitive, laced with confusion and worry.

"Uh yeah I'm fine, I was just on my way to come see you actually." Brian had blurted his response out without even saying hello. He took a deep breath and started again.

"Hi Olivia," he began, "I was just on my way to see you I have a few days off and was hoping to catch up." He was over thinking it. He didn't want to seem too eager or come across as desperate. He just wanted her to know that he still thought about her and wanted Olivia to know he still cared. He always would.

As he looked towards Olivia he noticed a subtle change in her, her features appeared softer and she had a certain glow about her. He knew she was born to be a mother. She had always been so great with kids and as he saw her sitting on this bench comforting this beautiful baby boy, he couldn't help but feel jealous. She now had everything she had ever wanted and he wanted so dearly to be a part of it.

"I was just about to head home with this little cutie, you fancy a cup of coffee?"

Brain hadn't expected her to be so open and welcoming .He realised that motherhood had been her greatest gift and life changer.

"Of course, yeah I'd love to join you and…." Brian's voice trailed off. He didn't know the baby by anything other than Baby Boy Doe.

"Noah, his name is Noah" Interjected Olivia.

"Noah, it suits him." Uttered Brian. The baby in front of him, Noah, was beautiful. He smiled as Brian made faces at him, which garnered a giggle from Olivia.

"You are such a baby Cassidy. Now come on let's get this handsome little boy home before he starts to get grumpy." Olivia was so casual and laid back with Brian. It was as though nothing had happened between them.

As Brain walked along beside Olivia and Noah who was in the buggy he felt guilty. This could have been the family he had always wanted but he was too afraid. He feared that he could never be the father that his child deserved or the partner that Olivia deserved. His fear had caused their relationship to fall apart.
