Later that evening, Olivia had just shown everyone out whilst Brian settled Mackenzie; she smiled and sat on the sofa with Alex and Cocoa on her lap.
"How you doing Liv?" Alex asked.
"I'm okay; I'm exhausted and emotional. I cant belive Brian did all this for me"
"He loves you"
"Yeah, I know; I made the mistake of turning him down after a one night stand 12 years ago. I really hurt him and honestly couldnt see a future with us but...I couldnt...I cant believe how happy he's actually made me. I have a beautiful daughter asleep upstairs and a little girl here" she said, rubbing her bump.
"You excited about her?"
"A little...but more nervous"
"Why nervous?" She asked, stroking Cocoa.
"Look at my parentage...a rapist for a father and an alcoholic for a mother; who knows what I might be passing on to her"
"All you will be passing on is your stubborness and caring ability; despite your parentage, you made a pretty damn good life for yourself"
"Thanks"
"We should gets some sleep; it's Mac's first Christmas with you so she'll probably have us up early" Alex suggested.
"Yeah, probably; Lex, I'm glad you're here" she said, hugging her best friend.
"I wouldnt want to be anywhere else; we've been through a lot, you saved my life"
"It's what friends do" she shrugged. "Night Lex"
"Night Liv"
Upstairs, Olivia kissed Mackenzie gently before settling next to Brian in their new bed.
"Did you have a nice chat with Alex?"
"Mmm"
"Get some sleep baby"
He kissed her forehead as she drifted off, safe in his arms.
