Where's Peter?" Noah asked, her dark eyes bright as he looked at his mum.

"Parking the car," Olivia said. "Don't worry, he'll catch up. You only have little legs." he giggled delightfully as Olivia held her son hand tightly. Sure enough within a minute or two, Peter appeared, smiling at them. He kissed Olivia briefly and ruffled Noah's hair.

"Peter!"

"Hello buddy," he said, handing him the bread bag, as they were off to feed the ducks, one of Noah's favourite things to do. Olivis felt Noah dragging on her arm towards the lake in the middle of the park. He knew where he was going all to well. Olivia couldn't get a word in until they'd reached the water, and Noah leaned up against the railings, already breaking bits of bread off. She knew well enough that he wasn't to go wandering away from them, so Peter and Olivia sat on the waiting bench and watched Noah feed the ducks. His childish joy was wonderful to watch and it didn't get old. Olivia smiled at him as Peter reached for her hand and squeezed gently.

Peter reached for Olivia and kissed her neck gently and too erotically for a public place. She shivered and not from the wind.

"Mommy look! Swans!" Olivia smiled as Noah saw two white elegant birds drifting towards him on the water.

"You're worried," Peter stated.

"No, I'm thinking," she said honestly. Peter took her hand again, and didn't let go.

"Are you wondering how to tell me that you want us to try for a baby and your also wondering how you can ask me to move in with you both?" Peter asked conversationally.

"What?"

"Are you wondering…"

"I heard you, I just can't believe what you said," she breathed. "I'm not sure," She wanted another child but nothing happened.

"I thought… I thought you wanted a baby with me," she said.

"No, I do," he said forcefully, tearing his eyes away from Noah to look at him. "I really do," he added, seeing the doubt in her eyes. "I'm scared. To take incase we do try but nothing happens She sighed heavily. "It's better to live in hope, then to be told a firm no. I… couldn't bear the disappointment Peter. That's why I look so scared."

"Oh Olivia," he said quietly. He never got any further because Noah jumped on his lap, pouting at him. "What's wrong buddy?"

"They've taken all the bread," he said. Noah knew how this went and before Peter could even say a word, he'd reached into his jacket pocket and got the two slices of bread that Noah had held back on purpose. Breadcrumbs were found in every jacket he owned now. "Thank you Peter!" Noah darted off to the water again and kept throwing the bread to the ducks, his happy laughing sounding wonderful through the cold air of the morning.

"So you're not unhappy?" Harry asked.

"No," she said. "Why do you think I kept Noah's baby clothes if I didn't want another child? And his cot? And all the blankets and other paraphernalia that comes with a baby. I want another child, and I want one with you. I don't want to get my hopes up. That's why I look so upset Peter."

"I understand," he said. And he honestly did. I

"Don't worry, its all going to be fine."

"I know that," Olivia said with a smile. "I have you." Peter smiled back at her warmly. Noah jumped on Olivia's lap and she stroked his hair. "And I have you too," Olivia said.

"Mommy?"

"You're a good boy Noah" Olivia said. She smiled.

"I like ducks."

"We're not having a pet duck, you've already got your cat at home," Peter said firmly. Noah pouted.

"Come on sweet boy, lets go home."

"Okay," Noah said. He hoped up and skipped ahead of them happily. Peter put his hand on Olivia's and says" and my answer is yes I will move in with you both I love you both very much are you happy babe?"

"Very I love you to." She smiled at him before they walked off, following Noah through the park.
