U: Universes

Disclaimer: Don't own Fringe...Peter would be in existence if I did.

Spoilers: All Seasons

Universes were what separated them...not in the sense of actual separation because that was impossible. Their hearts entwined together, their souls part of each other...they would never forget each other but sometimes the greater good had to rise above personal wants or desires.

Peter realized he had no choice but to return and it pained him, holding Olivia in his arms for what was the last time. He kissed her with a passion that he hoped would remain in her detailed memory for the rest of her life as she was engrained into his.

He swore he'd never marry, she was his only love but begged her to find someone to marry and love. He wouldn't deny her that life because of the universes' decision, he won't deny her motherhood that she so desperately wanted each time she saw a child but hid well from everyone else.

"I love you." He held her and kissed her head, "so much Sweetheart."

"I love you too."

They parted and he watched her collapse into Walter's arms, tears down her face and it pained him to see her like that. He'd always remember her as the strong and beautiful woman he loved, never the lost woman he left.

He lived secluded at the Reiden Lake Cottage on the other side, occasionally Fauxlivia would show up with Henry...who had a father in Lincoln Lee and he was just Mr. Peter to the boy. She would bring groceries and tell him about Walternate's newest madness, giving him updates of Olivia from the information she gleaned.

"He managed to get images from the other side." She sat down at the small table and laid a tablet out, "I got them for you...newest breed of shapeshifters enabled to send visual information back. They've been checking on her periodically."

Peter looked at her, "have they touched her?"

"Not that I can see," she looked up at a crash to see Henry's block set having toppled off the coffee table. "Henry, baby boy stop making such a mess." She got up and walked over and bent down, putting the blocks in a central area in front of the three year old. "Mr. Peter has let you play here while we talk, next time you'll stay with Daddy if you keep this up."

"No stay with Daddy."

She stood up and ruffled his blond curls before walking back over, Peter was looking at the pictures. "Do you know why they've been watching her?"

"Honestly no, Walternate's gotten even more secretive lately...my access to the inner circle is slowly dwindling. He's closing ranks, paranoia has gotten worse. I caught him telling Henry that the other side is evil the other day...I cut the visit short."

Peter nodded, "thanks Liv, I know you're risking a lot doing this."

She smiled, "she can cross can't she...why doesn't she?"

"Last time she was tortured, I begged her not to." He looked back at the picture of Olivia on the tablet before clicking it off. "I'd rather be without her than have her hurt again."

Two years later he was given news a shapeshifter had killed her, a gunshot was heard that night.

A/N: He'd rather live apart and have her alive than live without her...sorry but I had to have one tragedy in there. Next is V for Vow...Olivia finds that while most of her personal vows are broken, a few are not.
