CHAPTER FOUR:

Once she found the suitcase Olivia filled it with some of her clothing along with some toiletries she grabbed from her bathroom quickly.

She went back into her daughter's bedroom and grabbed some of Lucy's clothing for her.

"Mommy, I picked five!" Olivia looked towards her daughter to see her sitting with two of her favorite stuffed dogs, a sock monkey, a stuffed duck, and a baby doll.

"That's great honey, can you put them in your Cinderella backpack for mommy?"

"Yes mommy." Olivia watched her daughter walk into the closet and come back with her "Cinderellie" backpack as Lucy called it, and then put her toys carefully into the bag. "I done mommy."

"That's good baby. Can you carry your back pack to mommy's car so I can carry the big bag?"

"Yes I can mommy!" The little girl said with pride.

"Then let's go!" Olivia said with the most excitement she could.

Olivia helped her daughter put the backpack on before grabbing the large suitcase and heading down the stairs with her daughter in front of her. The two walked out to the garage where Olivia's black Touareg was parked.

"Okay, hand mommy your bag so I can put it in the trunk." Lucy handed her mother the backpack and waited for her mother to load the two bags into the back of her car. "Ready?" Olivia said as she shut the trunk.

Lucy nodded before yelling. "WAIT! Puppy mommy!" Olivia had realized that she had almost forgotten the purple blanket that Olivia had bought for her daughter soon after she had been born.

"Okay, how about we get you in the car and then I will go grab puppy for you, okay?" Lucy agreed then let her mother help her into her car seat and get buckled in. Olivia shut Lucy's door and ran back inside for the beloved blanket.

As Olivia grabbed the blanket off the couch in the play room she noticed her daughter's favorite movie and grabbed it quickly before rushing out to her car again.

"Mmkay Luce, are we ready to go?" Olivia said as she put the key into the ignition and started the car after she handed the purple blanket behind her.

"Yes mommy." The little girl said as she clutched the soft blanket against her chest.

"Then why don't we get going." Olivia said as she put on a brave smile for the child then turned around and hit the garage door opener above her head.

The black Touareg pulled out of the garage, down the driveway, and onto the street, pausing only for a second to look at the house that held so many memories.


Olivia had been driving for six hours when the exhaustion finally started to hit her and she decided to pull into a hotel.

She laid her sleeping daughter on the queen sized bed of the hotel room she had gotten for the night before looking at the clock on the bedside table to see it read two thirty a.m. Olivia decided to call somebody before she went to bed herself. She dialed the old number and waited for a voice on the other end.

"Olivia?" A very tired but familiar and comforting voice said into the phone.
