It was the day of the concert. Etta hadn't slept well. It was the day that her parents might get back together. Maybe she was holding out too much hope. What if they didn't want to be together anymore, after all? She would feel incredibly sad. Anyways, she was going all or nothing. She just hoped the all part won.

She texted Ethan one last message (she had been texting him most of the night and dawn due to how nervous she was. He was a cool guy and he had answered all the messages as if he hadn't slept either) and went to the lab. Her father had agreed to go to the concert and he was already out of the house. He had gone to Massive Dynamic earlier than usual to arrange everything, so he could leave early.

She reheated the pancakes her dad had left on the stove and after showering, she left for the lab. She picked up some coffee for her aunt on the way. Astrid was waiting for her. They hugged and then her aunt took her to the office in the back to show her what she had: it was a small box.

"Will this work?" Etta asked.

"Who do you think you're talking to Miss! Of course, it will, we tried it with Luna, it was her who built most of it, actually. She doesn't know what it's for, so don't worry!"

Etta nodded, "so, how do we use it?"

"You need to put it on top of the battery… do you know which is the battery?"

"Yes, Aunt. My dad wouldn't have forgiven himself if he didn't teach all the car parts to his only daughter," she rolled her eyes.

"Okie, so it will drain the battery, and because your mom's car has automatic transmission they won't be able to jump start it."

Etta nodded happily.

"Well Miss, give me your phone"

"What?" Etta hugged her phone protectively.

"Don't worry, I won't read your messages with Ethan" Astrid laughed, but Etta was still in dismay. "It's just, I need to install an app to control the device"

Finally, Etta gave her phone to her aunt.

"Okay, everything's done. So, when you're ready, you just have to press this button", she motioned towards the big red button in the middle of the screen.

Etta thanked Astrid and saying goodbye to her and Luna, left for her mother's house.

Olivia arrived at the lab at around one o'clock. She was going to tap on Astrid's shoulder when Astrid turned with coffee on her hand and jumped, spilling the coffee. Astrid jumped because she hadn't wanted to see Olivia on that day, it was hard lying to her face and although she thought she might be relieved of seeing her that day, it didn't turn out like that.

"Are you okay?" Olivia asked promptly.

"Yeah, just wait a sec, I'll go change into a new blouse"

"It's good that you have an extra outfit"

"I've had it since Walter's times"

When Astrid came out of her office, Olivia found her different somehow. "Is Etta the only one welcome here?" she asked with a smirk.

"Well, she brings me coffee when she comes"

"Did she come?" Olivia asked checking the left of the coffee mess on the floor.

"Yeah…Well… She wanted to know how to finish a stitch I taught her"

"Okay" said Olivia thinking Astrid was lying, but she also thought it might have to be with Etta's birthday, she always cajoled everyone into giving her a perfect birthday gift. She would let it go this time.

"Well, she gives you coffee, but I want to take you for lunch, is that okay? If you're not busy, of course…"

"Everything's fine" Astrid said, wondering why she did. "Let's go."

Astrid knew why she had accepted the invitation. Olivia and Peter, separately, always took her to very nice restaurants. Now that Olivia was in charge of Fringe Division and Peter was the main researcher in Massive Dynamic, they could eat out fancy whenever they liked.

They went into a Cajun restaurant that Astrid had been talking about for a while. She was very happy that Olivia had heard her ramblings. They both ordered the seafood gumbo and Olivia asked Astrid if she would go to Etta's party on Friday.

"Of course, I will, I've never missed one of her parties!"

"Good" Olivia said with a smile.

"You know, I think Etta is planning to parent-trap Peter and me. Do you know anything about it?"

Of course she knew something about it. Olivia was far from stupid.

"Why do you say that?" Astrid asked, hoping that she looked innocent.

"Okay, maybe she didn't tell you anything, but she is trying to get us together. For starters, she asked, as a birthday gift. to go with us to a concert and she hasn't asked something like that since she was a child. She's also been asking a lot of questions about how our relationship was."

Their gumbos were served.

"How do you feel about that Olivia?"

"Well… I get that she would like her parents together and I can give her civility in my relationship with him, but I don't want to disappoint her when we don't get back together"

"Do you… miss him?" Honestly, Astrid wasn't expecting an answer to that question.

"I do sometimes. Not like before… I've learned to live without him."

"You know Olivia, you had something very special between you two. You can see it there until now, it's how you seem to gravitate towards each other when you are both in the same room. I think you are the only couple I know that even though a lot of time has come through, cannot fall out of love with each other. Maybe Etta saw it too and thought why wouldn't they get back together? What's stopping them?"

"I…" said Olivia, "I don't know."

She was staring at her soup and Astrid knew it was better to leave her alone to her musings. Olivia dropped her in the lab and went back to her apartment to get ready for the concert.

Etta was already ready and fidgety next to Olivia. "Mooom, please wear that green shirt Aunt Rachel gave you for your birthday."

"Green for an Aerosmith concert?"

"Yes!"

"No, I don't think so…" Olivia was messing with Etta, but Etta didn't seem to notice because she rolled her eyes.

"Fine, you'll dress in black, but I'll choose your clothes."

Olivia chuckled.

In the end it wasn't bad, and mother and daughter were satisfied with the result. Olivia was wearing black boots, jeans, a black blouse and a black leather jacket. Etta begged her to wear red lipstick and Olivia complied, not only because it was her daughter's birthday.

They picked up Peter, who climbed to the back seats. He kept looking at Olivia through the rearview mirror thinking how beautiful she was.

They were quite close to the stage thanks to a phone call to Nina, who called a friend of hers. "Anything for Etta," she had said.

It was a bit cold because it wasn't in an enclosed space and Etta was complaining so Peter gave her his jacket.

"Young lady! I told you to bring a jacket, so this wouldn't happen," Olivia said.

Etta looked at her father with her puppy green eyes.

"Don't worry Liv, I'm not cold" Peter wanted to fool her because he already had goose bumps on both arms. Olivia just shook her head.

Aerosmith was great live and they were all having a good time. It was during "I don't want to miss a thing" that Etta decided to leave her parents alone. She went to find Ella and talk to her a bit more about the plan, while leaving them in the most romantic song that the group had, it was a bit corny too, but she didn't care.

Peter and Olivia were smiling, Etta had said she left for the toilet. Without meaning too, they were getting closer and then Peter started to feel very bad by listening to the song. He had missed everything with Olivia. Why had he let her go? He had been a mess, he hadn't wanted to fight anymore, he had missed Walter so much. He suddenly needed to feel her closer, so he put his arm on top of her shoulders. She accepted it and didn't get away from it. By the end of the song, Etta was back, smiling happily at her parents.

Ella came close to them when the concert was over. They were surprised and very glad to see her. Peter loved her like his real niece. And then Ella asked Olivia if she could take Etta to her own apartment and Etta begged with her eyes and mentioned her birthday and Peter and Olivia had no excuse but to say yes.

They said their goodbyes, but Etta and Ella actually ended up driving just behind them. They were getting close to a town that had a very low population and only a couple motels when Etta opened the app that Astrid had installed on her phone this morning and she pressed the button. They saw how Olivia's car started slowing down and the stopped completely. That was their cue to do a u-turn and go back so they wouldn't get caught. Etta was incredibly happy, her parents had no way of fixing their car until the morning, they would have to spend the night together in that town.
