Down in the kitchen Olivia grabs a glass of water and sits on one of the stools. Lost in her thoughts she doesn't hear Lincoln clambering down the stairs.
"Olivia? Are you okay, it's almost three in the morning, what are you doing up?"
Olivia looks up, "Oh Lincoln, I'm fine, just a little thirsty, why are you up, is everything okay?"
"Actually I was just coming to find you, um Liv's gone into labor and I was wondering if you could watch the kids. It won't be for long, just till the sitter arrives at 7."
"Ya of course. Um, good luck."
"Thanks, I'll call you with an update soon." He leaves in such a hurry that Olivia doesn't even think about what she has just agreed to do, or how it will affect her search for Peter.
After Lincoln and Faux-Livia leave for the hospital, Olivia heads back upstairs to check on the kids. Once she checks on all five kids, Olivia goes back to her room, over to her bag, and pulls out a small picture. Her baby, their baby. Will he or she ever get to know it's father? Will it be happy? These questions race through Olivia's mind as she looks at a picture of their baby.
"Mommy, what are you looking at?"
Startled Olivia looks up and sees her daughter standing in the doorway, rubbing her eyes. "Oh Etta it's nothing, just a picture. Are you okay? Why are you out of bed?"
"I woke up and there was this huge blimp flying past the window and I was confused." Etta says as she crawls into bed next to her mom. "Can you tell me a story?"
"Of course baby. Once upon a time there was a warrior."
"Mom, I'm too old for fairy tales."
"Shh, this one isn't just a fairy tale, you'll see. Well this warrior was in love with a prince. But one day the prince, who was also a strong warrior, was wounded. The warrior searched all the lands looking for a doctor to save him. She found a doctor but the doctor was locked up. He had gone mad, and no one could see him. But the warrior knew that the doctor's son would be able to help, so she traveled far to find him. It was a shock for her when he didn't want to help. The warrior pleaded and he gave in. So together they traveled to save her prince. But the prince died and the warrior became stronger, trying to save everyone at any cost.
Together the warrior and the doctor's son fought the evils of the world. One day the doctor's son left the land, so once again she traveled to a faraway land to save him. But this land was filled with people who looked just like them, and the warrior was kidnapped and kept in the strange land while the doctor's son and the fake warrior went home." Olivia, caught up in many emotions, stopped talking. But Henrietta, engrossed in the story, wanted to know what happened to the warrior and the doctor's son.
"Mommy, what happened next? Did the doctor's son know it wasn't the real warrior? Did he save her?"
"Well the warrior knew she was in the wrong land and she fought like hell to go back to her land. One night she snuck away to try and contact the doctor's son, but she was dragged back to her captors. Now the doctor's son received her message and knew that the warrior that came home with him was an imposter and they locked her up. Unfortunately the true warrior was set to be executed because she ran away, an unknown friend helped her escape in the nick of time, having to fight through many soldiers to escape. The warrior returned to her land, but her relationship with the doctor's son had changed, and they were no longer friends."
Henrietta looked up, "Why were they no longer friends? I thought he wanted his warrior, not a fake one?" Olivia sighed, she knew telling her and Peter's story would be hard, she just never imagined how hard.
"Well when the warrior went to bring the doctor's son back home, she told him that she loved him. By now the doctor's son loved her too, and when he returned home with the fake her they fell in love. But it was not real love for the fake warrior was only pretending because the king of her land ordered her to." Henrietta sat up.
"Mom, I'm sleepy now, can you tell me the rest later?" Olivia kissed her daughters head.
"Of course baby, sleep tight." And with that the two girls fell asleep.
