The walk to the apartment surprised Brian. Olivia talked non stop about Noah and the seemingly new life she had. Never once did she mention work. It was refreshing to see Olivia talk about her life, a life that did not revolve around her work.

"So how are things with you Bri?" The ease with which she openly talked was refreshing.
"I've been good Liv, I moved back in with my mom and I've made a few changes here and there. Things are going good for me." Brian realised that no matter how he tried to spin it his life just wasn't that great. He was lonely, lost even.

Olivia simply nodded and they continued their leisurely stroll to the apartment that they had once shared.

Upon entering the apartment Brian soon realised that it was a mere shell of the old apartment he knew. There was now so much life and vitality in the room. The living area was cluttered with kids toys and in a far off corner lurked a stack of papers that Olivia had obviously taken home from work. It was clear that Olivia's priorities had changed entirely.

This made Brian think. Had she changed in any other ways? Was she still angry at the world? Was she still dealing with the trauma she had endured at the hands of William Lewis? He watched her as she moved with ease and laid Noah into his crib, it became apparent that she had changed.

"Do you wanna make us a cup of coffee while I rock this little man to sleep?" She asked casually before adding, "everything is where it used to be." The glimmer of happiness and comfort in her eyes gave Brian a new-found hope that they might be able to one day work things out.

Once Noah was sound asleep Olivia joined Brian on the couch.
"You seem to be adapting to motherhood well Liv, it really suits you" Commented Brian.
"I love it; it really gives you a purpose in life you know? Don't get me wrong it is tough sometimes trying to do this alone but honestly I've never been this happy before" She admitted.

Both Brian and Olivia slipped in to an awkward silence, Brian didn't know how to respond to Olivia's heartfelt admission and Olivia didn't want him to think that she meant their relationship had meant nothing.

Brian looked around as if he was looking for something to break the silence. He noticed a copy of The Notebook on the coffee table beside the sofa.

"I didn't peg you for a romantic like this Liv" He laughed. Olivia gave him a playful slap on the arm and laughed.
"Actually now that I have Noah I don't watch TV that often, if he's asleep I just sit here and read it's quite relaxing"
"Really though, The Notebook? You've already watched that movie at least ten times. You even made me watch it!" Brian couldn't hold back the laughter, and soon it became infectious as Olivia joined him.

Brian loved seeing her this happy and only wished he could be part of it.

Over the next hour Olivia and Brian talked about the happy times they shared together. They talked about their past relationship with fond memories. It became abundantly clear that there was some unfinished business between the couple.

"Don't you miss this, I mean us spending time together?" Brian hadn't expected Olivia to ask such a loaded question. He looked at her, her new-found appetite for life and her honesty made her even more irresistible than twinkle in her eye however showed Brian that she wanted this just as much as he did.
"Of course I do Liv. I miss everything about you, I miss being able to wake up beside you in the morning, I even miss how you tuck that little bit of hair behind your ear" Olivia tried to interrupt but Brian continued, "Liv I hate how I reacted when you thought you were pregnant, I was afraid that was all. Of course I wanted to have a family with you but I think we can both agree that it had been a rough few months for us and I just wasn't sure how I would deal with it all. I knew you would make a great mother and seeing you with Noah proves that I was right. Seeing you with Noah, seeing you be the mother you were destined to be makes me hate myself for giving up on us. I wish that I could go back in time and be there for you ever step of this way. I would like nothing more than to be part of this family, but I know that I can do it Liv. All I need is another chance."

Olivia sat dumbfounded. Not in her wildest dreams had she expected such a response from Brian. She could tell he was for real. He wanted this, as did she put could she really take that chance now that she had a child to think about? But could she yet again let her own feeling take a backseat? She had done it for years because her job always took priority but she soon realised it had foolish of her to do so. Ever since she had gotten custody of Noah everything in her life seemed to become clearer. She had that clear sense of purpose that made her priorities clear. She grew to realise that to be a good mother she had to look after herself too. This was her chance to do something for herself, something that would bring her happiness.

"Bri I miss you too. Being in this apartment without you just didn't feel right. Having Noah made it easier but I still felt lonely without you. I want this to work but I have a child to think about now. I can't just jump in to a relationship without thinking it through first. I need to know that you're going to be there for me and Noah. It's not going to be me and you anymore Brian, it's going to be the three of us. Me, you and Noah. Are you sure you're ready for this Bri?"

"I've never been more ready for anything Liv. Let's do this. I want to be a family."

Ok so I own nothing. Sorry for the wait for this I've been crazy busy. DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!

I'll try to update ASAP! XD
