Lal08 you totally made my day! All of my Reviewers do! Thanks so much. Here's the last installment. I hope you enjoy it and if you're curious, I uploaded a new fic "Mother…"

Peter had convinced a drowsy Olivia a short while ago to move their conversation to the bed. After she nestled herself on the bed and curled her arm under the pillow, Peter took the other pillow and sat on the carpeted floor next to her. He was surprised when she asked him to sit on the bed with her. Peter had smiled and literally jumped on the bed next to her.

Olivia had not forgotten her encounter with Peter—well a Peter, in her dreams. Was it her dreams? While he talked she pondered on the intimacy of the engagement she had shared with him. She still wasn't sure if the night, the kiss, the confession, was still a dream. She stopped daydreaming when he asked her the question she knew he was bound to ask.

"What happened, Liv?" Peter asked softly, his head propped up by his elbow, facing her.

"He called himself Mueller. I had a lead on a case—not ZFT related—at least I thought until I had to cross this plane to find him. Or rather, he found me. He showed me things, Peter," Olivia stopped and covered her eyes in uneasiness. She felt one large hand pull her hands down. Cautiously, she met his gaze.

He smiled, "Hey. It's okay. You don't have to talk about it tonight. It's been a long day."

Tears began to well up. "I just don't know what is real anymore," she quivered. A small nervous laughed escaped her lips and she quickly began to dry her eyes. With her eyes now closed, she felt a movement on the mattress and she opened her eyes to see Peter with his arms holding him up, their bodies inches from colliding, directly above her.

She watched in silence as he slowly lowered his head mere inches from hers. His eyes were searching hers. He wanted to prove to her he was real. Peter silently contemplated whether or not he was making the best decision—for her—in her delicate situation. Olivia only wanted to feel something real, and this energy was more than alluring.

Making his decision, Peter gently swept his lips over Olivia's. The kiss only lasted for a few seconds but when Olivia opened her eyes she realized it had defied time. She was only concerned with this moment with this reality. Letting go of the breath she had been holding, she shuddered and he dipped his nose to caress her. Overwhelmed with emotion, tears began to flow from her eyes, but soft lips kissed them dry.

"I came to see you," she blurted. Still propped above her, Peter pulled a few inches away to look at her.

"The world was ending and the only person I could think to share it with was you," she said embarrassed at how foolish it sounded.

"I know." Reading the confusion on her face, he replied, "in the tank. We—I could hear you."

She wasn't anything less than mortified. This was not how she wanted it to play out. But yet, he did kiss her knowing her true feelings. They couldn't stay locked up forever; it was suffocating.

"I would want to share it with you. I'm glad you did, Olivia," he said, dipping his nose to nuzzle her once more.

"I'm also glad that world didn't end and it won't. Okay?" he said, searching her eyes for confirmation. She laughed and cried at the same time. She knew she was a mess, but now she knew Peter would be there to clean her up.

"I know you'll be all right."

Finally realizing that yes, she would be all right she took the lead and leaned in to capture perfect, tantalizing lips above her. Peter gently fell beside her and pulled her on top of him, closing the physical and metaphorical gap between them.

When Olivia opened her eyes she met Peter's. She quickly noticed he was fully dressed. What time was it? How long had she slept? Glancing at the clock on the bedside table she quickly sat up.

Peter laughed. "Relax. You needed that sleep." He brushed disheveled hair back behind her ear.

"I was looking forward to that breakfast," she smiled. Peter smiled at how adorable she looked.

Yes, he was smitten.

"But, I have those weird connections. Remember?"

Olivia smiled. Yes, she did remember.

That's all she wrote folks! But, I am looking to expand on the AU universe I played with in my latest fic "Mother…" Look for updates!
