"Hey baby girl. Are you okay?" Olivia held the little girl in her arm.
The little girl nodded. She turned her attention to Nick and Brian. "Daddy." She jumped out of Olivia's arm and ran to Brian. He scooped her into the arm, planting kisses all over her face.
"How is my princess doing?"
"Good."she giggled.
Brian glanced at Nick to see the uncomfortable look on his face.
"Something wrong Nicky boy?"
Nick gritted his teeth. "Liv can I speak with you in private please."
"Umm yea we can talk in the kitchen."
They walked Into the kitchen.
"Do you know how awful I feel right now that my daughter is calling another man daddy? That should be me in there that she gets excited for when I step foot in the house. Liv how could you go back to him? How could you let him care for our child while I was only a phone call away." Tears fell from his eyes. "She's my blood."
"Nick I am so sorry. If I can take it back I would." She reached over and wiped the tears from his face.
"Yea well you can't. Only thing you have control over is the future. I need my daughter Liv; I want to be in her life."
"Nick she can visit you on the weekends. I don't mind bringing her to you. I just can't make any sudden moves right now. We have to take this day by day Nick." She pleaded.
"I want her to know me as her real father."
"Okay."
"She's going to know she has two other siblings and that I love them all equally."
Olivia noded.
"When I get back to the city I'm going to start looking for a house so all of my kids can stay with me when they want."
"Nick you don't have to do all of that." Olivia begged.
Nick waved her off "So what's the deal with you and Cassidy?"
Olivia shrugged her shoulders. "we were good the first year but here lately all he does is undercover work. When he comes home he play with Alyssa, goes to sleep and he's back at work again. We haven't had sex in five months."
Nick burst out laughing.
Olivia hung her head "I said that out loud didn't I."
"If it makes you feel better, it's been 2 years for me" They both laughed.
"What about you and Rollins?" Olivia asked.
"Nothing ever happened between us. I was too in love with you." He admitted.
"Nick." Olivia looked down at her hands.
Nick put his finger under her chin. He looked into her big brown eyes. "It's true."
"What's going on in here." Brian stood at the door frame holding Alyssa.
"Ugh nothing Bri, Nick was just leaving."
"Bye Mister." The little girl waved.
Nick turned towards Olivia "Well mannered, I like that."
Nick went over to Brian and reached for his daughter. She jumped into his arms and hugged his neck.
Nick inhaled her scent. Lavender and vanilla, just like Olivia.
"Are you gonna come back and pwah baby dolls wif me?" She looked towards Olivia. "Can he mommy."
"If he agrees baby girl." Olivia smiled at Nick
"I would love to." He placed the little girl back on the floor and she took off running towards her room.
Nick looked up to see the angered expression on Brian's face. "Something wrong Brian boy?"
"You can't just waltz in here and take my daughter." Brian said.
"For one she's not your's biologically. You have just been temporarily raising her, which I greatly appreciate but I'm here now." Nick grinned.
"Oh trust I will still be around."
Nick turned towards Olivia. "Not for long. I plan on taking the whole package. If you know what I mean." He winked at Olivia.
"Let me show you out Nick." Olivia said as she walked past the two men.
"See you later Brian." Nick smirked and followed Olivia out of the kitchen.
