Olivia looked over at the clock. 5:52.

As hard as she tried, she couldn't fall back to sleep. She looked over at Johnny who was peacefully sleeping and pouted. "Why do you have to give mommy such a hard time? I just want to sleep. Cant you let me do that?" she whispered.

She knew exactly what would help soothe the baby as well as help her fall asleep. But, it was obvious that Johnny was too scared to have sex with her after the last time. So, since he keeps avoiding her, she decided to wait until she talked to Dr. Lee so she could ease his mind.

She looked at him again. "Whatever it is that you have planned for today better make up for this, I'm just saying." She sat up and gently kissed his cheek before getting out of bed. Clearly, she wasn't going to be falling asleep again, so she took a shower, got dressed and went downstairs to make breakfast.

…

"What is that wonderful smell?" Johnny said as he entered the kitchen and kissed her. "Mmm…I knew it. It's you."

Olivia laughed. "Good morning to you, too."

He smiled. "Good morning. What, may I ask, are you doing?" he noticed she was fully dressed. "And how long have you been awake?"

"Ugh. Don't ask. You have good timing, though. I just finished your breakfast."

"Is the baby keeping you awake?" he asked as he rubbed her belly.

"Yes, she is."

"I'm sorry, baby. I wish there was something I could do."

She looked up at him. "Really? Because, there is something you could do." She smiled coyly.

He ignored her comment. "I'm gonna eat, so should you. I figure since we're both up and ready, we can leave as soon as we're done."

"You know. You suck. And at this point in time, not in a good way!" she complained. She started to clean up the kitchen.

He watched her from where he sat and tried not to laugh at her. "Liv, come sit down and eat."

"I already ate and I strongly suggest that you shut up and do the same or I'm going to be tempted to throw this coffee mug at your head." She snapped.

Johnny did as he was told. Besides, it was all he could do to keep from laughing at her little tantrum. Though, he was worried she was going to break a dish or two. He shrugged. Better the dishes than my head. He thought to himself.

Less than an hour later, he was putting their bags in the car when she appeared in the doorway. He looked up at her and noticed she didn't have her coat on. "What are you doing out here without your coat on? Come on. Put it on and get in the car."

"No."

"What?"

"No. I don't feel like leaving the house. I'm tired. While you sleep soundly all damn night, your daughter keeps me awake. So, I feel like taking a nap. You go do whatever and have fun." She waved her hand in front of her.

Johnny sighed and rolled his eyes. "Olivia, get in the car."

"I just told you that I'm going to take a nap. What didn't you understand?" she asked.

"You can take a nap in the car! It's not a short ride; now get in so we can go." He was losing his patience and she noticed.

She stared at him for a moment. "If it's not a short ride then where are we going?" she asked, giving in.

"If you get in the car so we can go, you'll find out soon enough."

She moved toward the car.

"Coat." He said.

She sighed and turned around to get her coat out of the house. She locked the door behind her and walked to the car.

"Seriously, Olivia? Put your coat on."

"We're gonna be in the car for awhile, right? I get hot fast. You know that. Stop treating me like a kid." She argued.

"Stop acting like one." He said quietly behind her.

She turned around. "What?"

"Nothing." He opened her car door. "Get in."

She stood there staring at him instead.

"Don't start, Olivia. Just get in the car." Nothing. "Please?"

She reluctantly got in and he closed the door.

He got in the car, put on his seatbelt, looked over at Olivia, noticed she didn't have hers on and gave her a look.

"What?" she snapped.

"Can you put your seatbelt on, please?"

"Oh my God, John. You do realize that I have a father, right?" she said as she struggled with the seatbelt.

"Why do you always have to be such a smart ass?" He leaned over to help her.

"I can put my own seatbelt on, thank you very much." She said as she finally got it to cooperate.

His face was inches from hers and he looked right into her eyes.

"I know that you are annoyed by the fact that I'm not comfortable having sex with you right now. But, I really need you to understand that it's not because I don't want to." He smirked. "Believe me, that's definitely not the case. It's just that, I can't bear the thought of hurting you and as much as you deny it, I know I did. So, until we see the doctor, I beg you to let us play it safe."

She put her hand on his cheek. "For that to happen, I'm going to need you to not look at me that way and get your hand off of my thigh." She smiled as he quickly moved his hand. "I know it's not because you don't want to. Well, the thought may have crossed my mind once or twice."

"What? Are you crazy?" he interrupted.

"Shut up, let me finish. Even though I know that's not why, my hormones don't give a shit. But, I get it and I'll deal with us playing it safe. You are so gonna have to make up for lost time, though."

They both laughed.

"You know, last time we made up for lost time, I kinda got you pregnant. Guess, it's a good thing we don't have to worry about that this time, huh?"

"Ha! That's right, you sure did. It was meant to be, apparently."

He leaned in and kissed her. She opened her mouth to let his tongue in and then quickly pulled away.

"Oh no, no, no. That's so not fair!"

"You're not the only one suffering here, you know. How do you think I feel?" he said breathless.

She looked down. "Oh, I can see how you feel. Too bad you wanna play it safe." She giggled.

He put the car in drive. "Now, THAT is not fair."

"You know, I can take care of that little problem for you." She teased as she caressed his thigh.

"I thought you were tired? Anyway, I'm driving." He put her hand in her lap.

"Oh, alright. Party pooper." She leaned back, tried to find a comfortable position and closed her eyes.

Hours later…

"Babe, wake up. We're here." He gently caressed her cheek to wake her up.

"Mmm…did you let me sleep the whole ride?" she asked with her eyes still closed.

"Of course I did."

She opened her eyes and looked around. They were in what looked like an underground parking lot.

"Where are we?"

"Umm…well…I think I should show you rather than tell you." He winked at her. "Come on."

He grabbed their bags and opened her door.

"We're indoors so you don't have to put your coat on, Miss Cranky Pants." He teased.

"Hey. That's not nice. I have a reason." She stuck her tongue out at him.

He laughed as he grabbed her hand and led her to the waiting elevator. They rode the elevator for awhile and finally the doors opened and she realized that they were in a hotel.

"Why are we in a hotel?" she asked confused.

He didn't answer and tugged her hand so she could follow him. They stopped at what she assumed was their room, even though there didn't seem to be many on this floor. He opened the door and motioned for her to go in.

"Holy crap! You got us a suite? For one night?" she turned and asked him.

"Come here." He walked over to the window and opened the drapes, revealing a balcony.

Olivia's mouth dropped open as she realized where she was.

"There is no way in hell that I'm taking you down there in your condition." He said as he pointed to the street. "So, I figured this was the next best thing. Since there's a balcony, you can even stand outside to enjoy it."

"Oh, honey."

They were in Times Square and had the perfect view of the crowd below, with the ball right outside of their balcony.

"You've always wanted to be here on New Year's Eve, right?"

She nodded her head, still at a loss for words.

"We actually have quite a few hours until the ball drops, so, how about I take you shopping?"

"I wanna go out there for a second. Just to see what it looks like from here." She said pointing to the balcony.

He opened the door, stepped out and then helped her out. She automatically looked down.

"Wow. We're up so high."

"Yep. I told them I wanted the room to be as high as the ball. They definitely hooked us up." He said looking around.

"You are so crazy. But, I love it, honey." She put her arms around him.

He put his arm around her. "The look on your face when you realized where we were, is all I needed." He looked down and saw that there was already a crowd. "No wonder your parents never wanted you to come here. It looks like a madhouse down there. I'm actually afraid to take you out there, myself."

"We could stay in the room all day. But…that might not be a good idea." She smiled.

Johnny laughed. "I'm gonna have to agree with you there. Alright, ready to go shopping?"

"I am, but, if it's ok with you…"

"You wanna eat first?" he finished for her.

"YES! I'm so hungry." She whined.

"Let's go feed you two."

When they got into the elevator, she put her arms around his neck and pulled him into a heated kiss.

They were interrupted when the elevator doors opened and a couple with their child joined them.

He leaned in and whispered in her ear, "The little girl is staring at you."

She looked down. "Hi." She said.

"Hi." She replied quietly. "You're pretty."

"Aww, thank you sweetie. But, I don't think I'm as pretty as you are."

The little girl smiled. "Are you having a baby?"

"Honey, you don't ask questions like that." Her mother scolded. "I'm sorry." She said to Olivia.

"Oh, um, it's ok. Really." She replied, surprised. She looked down again. "Yes, I am having a baby. As a matter of fact, I'm having a little girl."

"Cool! What's her name going to be?"

Olivia looked at Johnny and then back to the little girl. "You know, we haven't even talked about that yet."

"That will probably be the last thing you guys do." Chimed in her dad.

Johnny laughed. "I bet it will be."

"What's your name?" Olivia asked her.

"Ashley."

"That's a very pretty name."

"Thank you." She smiled.

The elevator doors opened to a busy and very crowded lobby.

"Bye!" called the little girl.

"Bye, sweetie!"

"Good Lord." Johnny said as he looked outside. "I swear if somebody even looks at you the wrong way…"

"Oh relax, honey." She interrupted. "Are you sure you don't want to just stay in the room?"

"No. I brought you here to enjoy yourself. So let's get you guys some food and then we can do whatever you want."

"I don't need to go shopping, you know. I have everything I need. But, we can go shopping for you." She suggested smiling.

"We'll worry about that after we eat. Come on." He said as he grabbed her hand.

After dinner, they decided to walk around the city for a little while and after a few hours; they were finally entering their hotel room.

Olivia threw her coat down and headed straight for the bed as Johnny placed all of their bags on the floor.

"Thank God for room service. There is no way in hell that you are going anywhere with that crowd down there." He said.

"No argument from me there." She said as she lay down.

"You lasted a lot longer than I thought you would." He said as he lay next to her. "Are you tired?"

"I'm exhausted." She replied as she laid her head on his chest. "But, it was worth it. Wanna watch a movie?"

He reached for the remote. "I am not putting on a chick flick." He protested.

She lifted her head to look at him. "Well, that's fine. But don't go putting on some bloody, gory mess of a movie." She warned.

"What do you care? You're gonna fall asleep before it even starts."

She thought for a second and then put her head back down. "You're right. Put on whatever you want." She giggled.

He smiled and kissed her head.

"Please don't let me sleep past midnight."

"I wouldn't dream of it."

Hours later…

The ringing of the hotel phone woke Olivia.

"Thank you." Johnny said into the receiver before placing it back in the cradle.

"Who was that?" She asked.

"Front desk. I asked for a wake-up call in case I fell asleep, too." He told her.

"You're so smart." She said as she kissed him. "What time is it?"

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Room service."

"10 to 12." He said as he went to answer the door.

"Oh! I'm going outside." She said as she jumped up and grabbed her coat.

"Be careful, Liv."

She stood there, taking in the beauty of the ball as it stood right in front of her looking brighter than the moon even though it still wasn't lit up.

She heard Johnny behind her.

"Honey, I'm not sure that I can express to you how much this means to me." She turned around and saw he had two glasses in one hand and her camera in the other.

"I'm pretty sure you want to take at least one picture." He smiled.

"You remembered my camera!" she smiled as she took it from his hand. "What's that?" she asked, pointing to the glasses.

"Well, you can't drink, but we should still toast." He handed her a glass. "Ginger ale."

She laughed. "Aww, you're so cute!" she reached up to kiss him.

He looked over the edge of the balcony as she busied herself taking pictures of everything.

"Holy shit! That's a lot of people down there."

She was next to him looking down as well. "They look like little ants." She joked.

"Alright, Ms. Falconeri." He said tipping his glass to her.

"Yes, Mr. Zacharra?" she smiled.

They both took notice of the ball lighting up and starting its descent to bring in the New Year.

"To new beginnings." He said.

"To undying love." She said.

"To family."

"Old…" she looked down at her belly. "And new."

"And to you. For making me the happiest man alive. Something I look forward to thanking you for. For as long as you'll let me."

She smiled. "That's not fair. I was going to say that. Or something close to it."

The crowd started to go wild below them. They looked over and the ball went dark just as 2011 lit up.

"Happy New Year, John."

"Happy New Year, babe."

As they kissed, she raised her camera and took picture after picture of them, hoping at least one came out good.

The following Monday…

Olivia sat at her desk going through paperwork in preparation for the meeting she, Carly and Jax were to have with Maxie and Lulu in 10 minutes.

"Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to take her head out of Johnny's ass and come to work."

She didn't have to look up to know who the voice belonged to.

"Get out."

"I can't believe you just let him walk right back into your life as if he never left you." Sonny said as he walked farther into her office.

"I can't believe you actually think what I do is any of your damn business." She replied, finally looking up.

He took notice of the ring on her finger.

"You can't really be that stupid."

She looked around.

"Who the hell do you think you're talking to?"

Lulu and Maxie rushed in.

"Oh great. You're back. Joy. How long until something happens?" Maxie asked.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Lulu asked as she made her way over to Olivia. "Are you ok?" she asked her, concerned.

"I'm fine, honey."

"What the hell? She doesn't need protection from me."

"What she doesn't need is you in here stressing her out. So why don't you just go." Maxie blurted.

"What the hell is going on in here?" Carly asked as she walked in. She stopped dead in her tracks when she laid eyes on Sonny. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"That's a very good question." Jax said from behind her.

"Why is everyone acting like I'm here to hurt Olivia?"

"Because hurting the people around you is all you know how to do, Sonny." Lulu pointed out.

Olivia fanned herself with the folder in front of her.

"Get out, Sonny." Said Carly.

"Why don't all of you get out? Olivia and I were in the middle of an important conversation."

"No you were not." Said Maxie.

"Either way, Sonny, you're not welcome here and we all have business to discuss. Please leave." Said Jax.

"Oh please. What business could you all possibly have?"

"That's not any of your business!" yelled Carly.

"Enough!" Olivia yelled to be heard and they all looked at her. "I really don't have the patience for any of this shit, right now" she stood up and started to walk around her desk. "So, if you all want to continue…" She winced and her hand flew to her side as she lost her balance.

Lulu tried to catch her, but was too slow and Olivia fell to the floor.

"Oh my God, Olivia!" Lulu rushed over to her side. "She's out cold."

Jax was already on the phone calling for an ambulance.

Carly and Maxie joined Lulu by Olivia.

"Olivia? Olivia?" Carly shook her.

"Um, I'm not sure shaking her is going to help anything." Maxie said. She pulled Carly's hands away from her. "I'm serious. Stop it. That can't be good for her or the baby. Are you stupid or something?"

"Excuse me?"

"Ok. You two need to get away. Go. She needs whatever air she can get and you two fighting by her will only take it all up." She looked at them and they didn't move. "GO!"

"She's right. Come on, ladies. She needs air." Said Jax.

"Olivia?" Nothing. She looked at Maxie. "Call Johnny. Tell him to meet us at the hospital."

Maxie ran to Olivia's desk, grabbed her cell phone and dialed Johnny.

"She's pregnant? Why didn't…? Is she gonna be ok?"

"You better hope she is. I can't say the same for you when Johnny finds out you're the reason she was upset." Lulu threatened.

"Johnny, its Maxie. You need to get over to the hospital, now." She said into the phone.

"Is Olivia in labor? It's too early." He said panicking.

"No, she's not in labor, but she had a pain and then she passed out."

"I'm on my way."

She ended the call.

"Dante. Call Dante." Said Lulu.

While she did as Lulu requested, the paramedics arrived and started to tend to Olivia.

"What happened?"

"She winced as if she had a pain and grabbed at her side and then she just passed out and she hasn't come around, yet." Blurted out a panicked Lulu.

"How far along is she?"

"A little over 5 months." she responded

He looked at Olivia. "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure."

"Alright, is anybody going to come with her?"

"Yes, I am." Said Lulu.

"Her son and fiancé are on their way to the hospital as well." Maxie informed them.

"We'll be right behind you." Said Jax.

They wheeled Olivia out, Lulu and Jax following.

Carly stopped in front of Sonny. "If you have any sense, you will not dare go anywhere near her or the hospital, Sonny." She threatened.

At the hospital…

Olivia's eyes fluttered open and she saw Johnny sitting next to her, her hand in his.

"There go those beautiful brown eyes that always make my heart skip a beat." He said.

"Hey, you."

"You gave me quite a scare there, babe. How are you feeling?"

"Tired. What happened?"

"Well, from what I was told, you got a pain when you stood up and then you passed out. When you got here, your blood pressure was dangerously high. But, what nobody can seem to tell me is why you were so upset to begin with. So, I'm hoping you can."

The door opened. "Ah, you're awake. Very good. How are you feeling mommy?" asked Dr. Lee.

"Tired. Confused."

"Well, that's all normal." she took her blood pressure. "Good girl. It's finally down. However, so are your iron levels. You're not taking your vitamins or iron pills are you?"

Olivia closed her eyes. She knew Johnny was going to get mad at her. "No, I haven't." she heard Johnny sigh. "Is the baby ok?" she asked her.

"Everything seems fine, but that's why I'm here. I want to listen to her heartbeat and do a quick ultrasound, ok?"

She nodded her head.

"Could her low iron level be the reason she's been having random dizzy spells for the last weeks or so?" Johnny asked.

"Have you? Why didn't you call me?" she asked Olivia.

"Funny enough, doc. I was going to do just that this afternoon."

"She also had some pain during the last time we had sex." Johnny informed her.

Dr. Lee looked at both of them. "How long ago was that?"

"A little over a week ago." She replied.

"Can you describe the pain?"

"It was nothing, really."

"Liv, stop. Be honest." Johnny interrupted her.

She closed her eyes and sighed. "No, I can't describe it."

"Ok, don't worry. We'll hopefully get some answers right now. Let's start with her heartbeat."

She placed the fetal Doppler on her belly and Olivia's eyes shot open.

"That doesn't sound right. Why does her heartbeat sound like that? What's wrong?" she started to panic.

"Olivia, relax. If you get worked up, so will she."

She quickly squirted gel, followed by the transducer onto her belly. After moving it around for a bit, she stopped.

"Well, that's…"

"What's wrong?" asked Johnny, worried.

"Well, nothing is wrong. But, I think I just figured out what's going on with you, Olivia."

"What is it?" she asked.

She pressed a few keys on the keyboard to enhance the image and froze the screen.

She looked at them and pointed to the screen. "I have to apologize because I don't know how I missed it during the last ultrasound. But, if you look closely, mom and dad, you'll see that you are expecting twins. Seems like one is shy and keeps hiding behind his, or her, sister."

Olivia's hand went to her mouth in shock.

"Wow." Was all Johnny could say.
