A few months later Olivia has adjusted well to her new environment. She and Sarah have been both going to therapy. Sarah thought this the best because she needed to know how to handle Olivia, and what she could do better to make Olivia feel more comfortable. Of course things are not perfect but what really is. Olivia still has some out burst but they are not as bad as they were before. She is going to school and doing well and she is making friends. It is getting close to Christmas and Olivia and Sarah are picking out a Christmas tree...
"Sarah how about this one it's not really too big" This Olivia said as she looked at a tree that was about eight feet high.
Sarah laughed, "Um I don't think so Olivia, I don't even think we would be able to get it in the elevator at the apartment.
Olivia laughed to. "Yeah I guess your right maybe we should look at something a little smaller"
Olivia took Sarah by the hand and led her to a smaller tree. "This one looks like this would fit and I don't think it is too expensive."
"I think your right this does look like the perfect tree for us lets go talk to the man over there and see what he can do for us."
As Sarah talked and paid the man Olivia went over to the car to get out a rope so they could tie the tree to the roof of the car. "Well let's get in and go home and have some hot coco how does that sound"
"Yeah that sound like a good idea, and do you think when we get home we can play some Christmas music while we decorate the tree and eat some cookies."
"Yes that sounds like a great idea Sarah laughed what cd do you want to listen to?"
"Um, how about the Bing Crosby one, me and my mom use to really like that one it was one of her favorites."
"Ok Bing it is then"
Olivia had been talking about her mom more easily now, ever since that night when she had that dream and Mac came in and held her she didn't feel so bad. And she didn't really cry too much any more, she had come to accept her mother's death and go on with life as her mother had wanted her to do. The music played and Mac and Olivia started putting on the decorations.
"Olivia, I'm going to have to go away for a few days, I'm going to be back before Christmas I have this case and I have to go up to New York. I know it's really short notice but I have no choice I have to go. What do you think are you going to be ok with this?
Mac wasn't sure how Olivia was going to react was she going to blow up and throw a fit or was she going to be ok with it. She had hoped for the second but who's to know.
Olivia thought a moment and looked up at Mac. She was sort of in shock she wasn't really expecting this where was she going to go?
"Are you going to come back? Olivia asked.
"Of course I'm going to come back I told you that a long time ago I am not going to leave you."
"Where am I going to stay if you're going to be gone? Can I go with you I won't be any trouble?"
"I know you wouldn't be any trouble but the case I'm trying will take up to much of my time and I wouldn't even see you and that is not fair to you." I called up Harriet and Bud and they said that they would look after you till I came back they are very excited to have you come and I know little AJ is excited too. And you know what I'll call every night to make sure that you're doing ok alright."
"Well I guess that will be alright, when are you leaving?"
"I have to leave in about two days and I'll be gone for about a week"
"Ok I'll be fine just make sure you call me don't forget now will you?"
"No I won't forget now lets get this tree done"
Mac gave Olivia a tight squeeze and they began to decorate the tree. While they were doing this Mac thought and hoped that Olivia was going to behave herself she knew she was better but that was with her and not someone else. She hadn't really been away from Olivia and she hoped that this was not going to give Olivia a set back. Well she would know in two days.
