Olivia

I saw Walter stiffen, as I turned around in my seat and looked up to the face of the man, who's hands were still on my shoulders.

"Hello Rick," I said standing up, allowing him to pull me into a hug, and feeling him give me a fleeting kiss on the cheek. I looked at Walter, and saw him visibly relax when he realized everything was okay. "Rick, this is Dr. Walter Bishop, Walter this is Rick" I said gesturing between them.

Walter stood up, and stretched out his hand for Rick to shake. "It is, nice, to meet you," Walter forced out. He leaned closer, and whispered into Rick's ear. It was softly said, but I could still hear it, though only slightly. "You know, I have flesh eating parasites that would thoroughly enjoy living on you." Walter said grinning. While no one but those close to him would notice, but Walter just had one of his rare moments of sanity.

I picked up my tea cup, taking a sip, hoping to hide my smile, as Rick's faltered.

"So what are you doing here?" Rick asked as I sat back in me seat.

"I'm having a long over due lunch with Walter," I told him, giving Walter a grin, and receiving one from him in return. "You?"

"I just had lunch with the curator at the local museum, he wants me to go down to a dig in Shreveport, Louisiana, he said there is something there that needs my attention." Rick said smiling.

"Wow," I told him, grinning.

"Yeah," he smiled back. "I'll let you two get back to your lunch, and I'll see you tonight." He leaned down, kissed my cheek one last time, and said good bye to Walter, before turning and leaving the restaurant.

"He was, nice." I heard Walter mumble around his tea cup.

"Yes he is," I told him, raising a brow.

Lunch with Walter was an enjoyable affair. Even after he had met Rick, Walter still told me stories about Peter. He even told me stories about his wife.

We walked into the lab arm in arm, sharing a laugh at a story I told him about Ella when she had first seen a dog.

"Walter, thank you for joining me for lunch," I said, kissing his cheek. "But now I see a new stack of paperwork is waiting for me on my desk." I smiled at him, before I made my way to the office.

"How was lunch Walter?" I heard Astrid ask him. I felt eyes on me as I closed the door, ignoring who ever it was and making a start on the pile of papers.

Peter

"Goodnight Walter. Night Astrid." I heard Olivia call out as she made her way to the doors. She stopped just before opening the door and looked over her shoulder slightly, "goodnight Peter." She let a small smile ghost across her face, before she was out the door, and off to her date.

"I met her boy at lunch today." I heard Walter say next to me. Time froze. My blood stopped, there was no sound. I shook my head clear.

"What was that Walter?" I asked, my voice pitching slightly.

"I met Olivia's new boy today at lunch. He is actually quite charming." Walter told me. He smiled slightly, looking almost as if he was in a memory. "I saw a sight that could be described as a ninth world wonder."

"Um Walter, whats the eighth?" I asked, dread bubbling inside my gut, when I saw a look of pure glee spread across Walters face.

"Why that Sardine and Vanilla Shake of course!" Walters grin dimmed slightly. "While that shake is a wonder, the sight I saw today, far outshines any other wonder, beside your birth of course. The smile on Olivia's face when she saw her boy, Roy I think his name was." I heard Astrid say It's Rick. "She is truly happy with this boy." Walter put his hand on my shoulder, frowning slightly. "I'm sorry son."

I turned and looked at the doors that my Olivia, shes not your Olivia now, I really hated that inner voice. I think she is now completely lost to me.

I shook my head, disgusted with myself, When have I ever given up on what I wanted? I love seeing Livia happy, Walter was right when he said she was a world wonder when she's happy. Well, maybe there is a first time for everything.
