As much as Ed would have liked to spend the day at Olivia's bedside- he had to go check on the kids.

'I hate to leave you...'

'Ed I'll be fine. You have to go check on both the boys. And I need to know Noah is okay. I

'You must not worry about Noah he is fine both him and Aaron are I promise. I'll bring them to see you later okay?'

'Would you?'

'Of.course I'd do anything to make you happy'

Olivia reached up and hooked her arms around Ed's neck. Kissing him fiercely, the rest of the world melted away and.for that split second, she was deliriously happy.

'Woah...' Ed reluctantly pushed Olivisa away.He knew he had to go to see the boys, although he would much rather be here with Olivia. '... I don't want to go, but I have to'

'Don't worry about me, I will be fine. Go and see the boys'

'You convinced me to be brave and to grab happiness while I can. I can stop living in constant fear... you are saving me every day'

'Oh Olivia...

" Go I'll see you later'

'That is a promise'

'It better be, now go'

Ed returned Olivia's smile, gave her a quick peck on the cheek and then left the room. Olivia lay back on her pillows smiling to herself. She was so incredibly lucky, and she knew it.

Olivia felt the hand on her cheek and it brought her out of her slumber. A doctor had been around and lowered her dosage, even talking of her being discharged in the next couple of days.

That was more than she'd begun to think about. Going home. She hadn't ever had a home before but now- she had Ed, Noah and Aaron they were her home.

Having her medication dosage lowered had been good for Olivia but she'd nodded off to sleep and had missed the door being opened. The figure watched her for a moment before coming closer and stroking her cheek. Olivia mumbled sleepily

'I love you'

'Good to see you're back to normal. I knew being away from him would make you realise what you wanted wasn't him"

Olivia's eyes snapped open and they immediately became clouded with fear and anxiety. The figure stood over her wasn't Ed, but the man who had scared her witless for 3 years. He wasn't going to let her go without a fight.

But had Brian bitten off more than he could chew?
