Chapter 1: Day One

HARVARD UNIVERSITY: December 31st 1:15 am

Olivia and Peter walked back into the school and down into Walters lab. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed Rachel's number,while Peter called Walter.

"Hello..." A groggy voice said. Rachel and Ella had driven up the day before and were staying at Olivia's apartment, she was an early sleeper, so the call had woken her.

"Rachel it's me,Olivia." Olivia said.

"Liv,it's one am, is something wrong, are you alright?" Rachel said , panic in her voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine, there's too much snow to drive, so I'll be stuck at the lab for a little bit." Olivia explained.

"What, really, the skies were clear earlier." Rachel said going to the window and peering outside,she couldn't see a thing , signifying a whiteout.

"Yeah,It'll probably clear up by morning, then I'll be home to ring in the New Year with you and Ella." Olivia said optimistic.

"Are you sure you're gonna be ok,by yourself?" Rachel asked worried about her big sister.

"I'm not alone...Peter's here, I'll be ok." Olivia said.

"Peter? What's he doing there, wasn't he in the hospital?" Rachel asked confused, Olivia had told her that Peter had been injured on one of their FBI operations.

"He got out early; went for a walk and ended up at the lab,I was working on some paper work and lost track of the time, he told me it was midnight and I was about to be on my way home,till we saw the snow." Olivia explained.

"He just ended up at the lab at twelve am?" Rachel asked skeptically.

"Yeah,he did." Olivia said not missing the skepticism in her sister's voice.

"Ok, well, be careful, make sure you call me in the morning,when you're on your way home." Rachel said still a little suspicious,despite her seeing proof of the whiteout.

"I will, I'll see you in the morning. Tell Ella, I'll be home in time to make her eggs and pancakes for breakfast,like I promised." Olivia said smiling as she thought about her young niece.

"I will, and be safe." Rachel said a bit of innuendo in her tone.

"I'll be fine, don't worry." Olivia said.

"Alright,I'll see you tomorrow." Rachel said yawning.

"See you tomorrow." Olivia said then hung up. Peter also hung up at the same time with Walter.

"Everything ok, with Rachel?" Peter asked.

"Yeah, I woke her up,but if I didn't call her ,she'd probably freak about me not coming home, or jump to some random conclusion." Olivia said with a smirk.

"What do you mean by 'random conclusion'?" Peter asked with a smirk.

"Nothing...so did you reach Walter?" Olivia asked changing the subject to his father.

"Yeah...he chastised me for going for a walk so late, and how that blow to my head probably messed with my judgment, I tuned out after that , so I don't know what else he said,but I told him I'd see him in the morning and I reminded him where all the emergency numbers were,911, poison control,Astrid's cell, etc." Peter said.

"I'm sure Walter will be fine, its only one night,what could he get up to in a few hours." Olivia said.

"You'd be surprised." Peter said with a smirk.

"On second thought, knowing your father,who knows what he'll get himself into." Olivia said thinking of Walters past behavior.

"I don't even want to think about , whatever mess ,I'll have to clean up tomorrow." Peter said with a scowl.

"So what do we do now?" Olivia said looking around the lab.

"We settle down for the night, I think there's a heater in the back room, a tarp and maybe a blanket." Peter said.

"Sounds good, I'll see what else I can find. " Olivia said, and they went their separate ways to search the lab.

They regrouped ten minutes later, and set up their makeshift bed,using whatever non-flammable stuff they could find to make pillows. They made sure they placed the heater away from anything flammable,which was pretty hard being stuck in a lab,so they moved Olivia's desk out of the room, and set everything up in her office. Since there was only one blanket,which looked like it'd been in a closet for at least a decade,they had to share it.

"Goodnight Liv." Peter said after getting as comfortable as he could get,given the circumstances.

''Goodnight,Peter." Olivia said ,yawning then drifting off to sleep.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY : December 31st 9:15 am

Olivia awoke,confused about her surroundings. Then suddenly she remembered what had happened,the snow storm ,and her having to spend the night in Walters lab. There was also something else. Movement on her left side made her remember the detail she'd forgotten. She hadn't been stuck by herself,Peter was there with her, sleeping a few inches away,she could hear him breathing. She gazed over at the sleeping Bishop,even as he slept there was a hint of his trademark smirk,on his face. Suddenly he began to stir,yawning and stretching,before facing Olivia.

"Good morning, how did you sleep?." Peter said smiling at Olivia.

"Good morning,not bad for having to sleep on the ground." Olivia said with a smirk . The whole truth was , it had been the best sleep she'd had in awhile,there was just something about Peter that made her feel safe, and that had transferred over to ensuring the peacefulness of her sleep.

"Yeah,it wasn't as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. We should probably call Walter and Rachel." Peter said getting up. He had to give himself a reason to take his eyes off of her. He didn't know how it was possible ,but she was beautiful even when she'd just woken up. and had what most would consider bed head.

"Yeah,good idea." Olivia said pulling out her cell to call Rachel,but she couldn't dial out,there was no signal.

"Something wrong?" Peter asked.

"I don't have a signal." Olivia said.

"I'll try mine." Peter said pulling out his cell.

"Anything?" Olivia asked.

"Nope, not even a bar." Peter said.

"I'll try the land line." Olivia said walking over to the phone, she picked it up but there was no dial tone.

"I'm thinking the snow knocked out the phone lines." Peter said.

"Now that I think of it, the heater wasn't on when we got up, I didn't turn it off." Olivia said.

"Neither did I. I think the powers out." Peter said.

"Good thing, we can go home." Olivia said.

"Yeah." Peter said.

He and Olivia then gathered up their things and headed toward the exit. Peter tried to open the door in the main school hallway,but it didn't budge. He tried again and was able to slightly open it. When he did a bit of snow slipped in, he tried to open the door a bit more , and more snow slid in. They tried the other doors of the building,but all of them were full of snow, it appeared they were trapped.

"So much for only being stuck for the night." Peter said clearly irritated by the snow.

They walked back to the lab. Olivia remembered the radio she'd been listening to, while working on her paper work, had batteries. Peter turned on the radio and scanned through the station, till he found a weather news report.

The Boston area is currently experiencing a Nor'easter blizzard , residents are advised to stay indoors until the storm passes .Which could be between a few days, and a week. City officials are trying the hardest to clear the roads for emergency vehicles, and there have been several power outages through out the county's. Again we urge you to stay indoors and keep warm. We'll be back with another weather update in the next half hour.

Peter and Olivia turned to look at each other. With no heat,no outside communication, and who knows how much food,if any at all, they'd have to rely on each other to make it through the next couple of days, and possible a week, while being shut out from the outside world.
