After another four days, Caitlin woke up to the sound of a knock on her bedroom door.

Rose was waiting on the other side, with Trey in her arms and smiling.

"Mrs. Deschanel, I thought you might want to see him." She said after Caitlin opened the door in excitement.

"Oh hey there little man! Oh I missed you so much!" She said while grabbing her little brother. Cole woke up to the sounds and smiled. "Thank you, oh Rose?"

"Yes mam?"

"Rose, you've seen my mom, how is she? And where is she?"

"I'm sorry, she wouldn't tell me. But she looks great, she seems pretty happy to be honest. " Rose replied.

"Thank you Rose, that would be all." Caitlin said, not quite satisfied by the answer but still happy to hear that her mom was doing good.

Her mom happy away from Sunset Beach? Away from her children? Away from Gregory?

As she closed the door, Caitlin turned to Cole smiling: "see, I told you my mom would keep her promise. I guess this arrangement is ok for as long as she needs her space, don't you think?"

"I guess so." Cole answered flatly, somewhat relieved that he was holding his son in his arms.

Later that day, while Caitlin, Cole and Trey were playing outside by the pool, the doorbell rang like crazy and Rose was hurrying to open up.

It was a very appalled Bette.

"Oh Rose thank God, now where the hell is Olivia?"

Rose couldn't even open her mouth to answer.

"she really is a weirdo! Why won't she answer any of my calls? And better yet, her phone is down since today, not even ringing for heavens sake! Why would you need a mobile phone if it's closed?!"

Caitlin walked in with Trey in her arms.

"Oh Cait, hey beauty! Can you please tell me where the hell your mother is?"

"Aunt Bette, hi."

"Well? I'm really worried!"

"I wish I could tell you where she is but...honestly I don't know. "

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"She left Bette, she left Sunset Beach."

"She did what?! And she left Trey here, alone with you?"

Caitlin started to explain Bette about the arrangement concerning Trey, how her mother needed the time to herself and out of the house, of the city.

"Oh man...your mother sure is a hell of a stubborn woman."

"I guess she deserves some time on her own after everything that has happened."

"I guess...I was just so worried because the last time I saw her was at the wedding and she looked so miserable. I didn't know what to think. Your father being locked up really got at her.„

"Well she seems ok, at least Rose said so."

"That's good. That's good...Now tell me, did you visit your father?"

"Not yet...I don't feel strong enough to face him, to face reality and the fact that he's locked up..." Caitlin answered.

"I wanted to visit him today and thought you might want to join."

"No...not today Bette. I have to be with Trey now."

"Yeah, yeah I understand."

"Maybe tomorrow."

"Toots, don't explain yourself to me. You'll go whenever you feel ready to go. If you speak your mother, tell her to activate her damn phone and give me a call!" Bette smiled and left as Caitlin was sadly looking, watching her leave.

Her mother happy? Away from her friends?

Olivia was holding a picture of herself and Gregory, taken not too long ago during their trip to Carmel.

A time they have found love again after so many years. She thought it would be forever this time. But look where it ended, she thought.

She put the picture down on the coffee table and walked to the window of her apartment. The street was noisy and crowded with people and cars and a lot of car horns.

San Francisco was a beautiful city, she thought, but so loud compared to her home town. It was also a place where she could be anonymous, unlike Sunset Beach, where everyone knew who she was and what she did.

Olivia felt like this city would take the heavy weight off her shoulders. She was content but empty. Empty without her children, her friends, her house, her job, her life.

She wondered if leaving was the right thing to do, it felt so wrong and yet so right at the same time.

She couldn't stop thinking about the fact that Gregory wanted to see her again and how much she missed him.

How much she would want to be able to raise Trey with him. To have a second chance. Maybe they wouldn't be together as a couple but still loving parents to a wonderful boy.

"Gregory Jr. " she found herself speaking it out loud. "But you aren't Gregory Jr. , you are Trey Deschanel...are you?"

But if there was something Olivia knew for certain, it was that she needed to prove for once in her lifetime that she was able to handle things on her own.

Without Gregory's help, without all the lies, without money and power and influence.

Since most of Gregory's belongings and money were under investigation, Caitlin and Sean were left with nothing but the house, which was also a questionable possession since Gregory bought it two years ago when he started the money embezzlement.

She no longer was responsible only for Trey, she suddenly became responsible for Caitlin and Sean.

Sean being in college and Caitlin still not knowing what and how she was going to do with her life, she had to provide for the three of them.

Luckily for them, nothing much changed right away but it soon had to change since Gregory's trial was about to start. She didn't even know when exactly…

And then there was Annie, Gregory's rightful wife, who by the major efforts to fix her reputation, still might as well have cleared all the bank accounts before moving in with Jude.

She definitely showed regret towards Olivia but Olivia knew a person couldn't just change like that from zero to hero in 24h.

Maybe all of that talk about feeling sorry was hoping Olivia wouldn't send her to prison for stealing Trey from her.

The situation got even harder since AJ was no longer her boyfriend, which he never really was in her heart.

She just needed a friend at that time, to get over the horrible things that happened to her.

But love was out of the question. She just fooled herself and him into believing there was still something left after 25 years…

I have to help my children, all of my children. I have to straighten up a few things and start anew. This time on my own.

She prayed to God to give her strength one more time and help her find the best possible way to repair some of the damage done.

There was only one thing she still possessed after her divorce from Gregory: the Radio Station.

Since it was Gregory's gift for her 20 years ago, she was the only holder of the station. Therefore it still belonged to her.

Even tough she completely ignored the station in the past two years, it ran by itself and with the help of her staff.

But she had no clue on what was going on there, not to speak about the potential left.

The music industry was changing at the dawn of the new millennium. People's habits changed, the station didn't. At least not yet.

It crossed Olivia ´s mind that the Radio Station would be a wonderful income, if reactivated. The only problem was that she would have to go back to Sunset Beach for that.

She didn't feel ready to do so yet.

Whatever decision she would take, she would have to take it quick because time was something she didn't have.
