Two days later Sarah was finishing packing up her things for the trip and Olivia was sitting at the end of the bed watching her.  She really wished that she could go with Sarah on the trip but she knew that she couldn't.  She wondered to herself if maybe she acted up at Bud and Harriet's then maybe Sarah would have to come back.  She didn't want to lose her like she had lost her mother.  What would she do if the plane should crash or if she got into a car accident?  She had to figure out a plan to make Sarah comes back earlier then she was supposing to.

      "A penny for your thoughts"

  "Oh I'm just thinking about Christmas and what I want"

      "Well I don't think you need to worry about that you have been good so I'm sure that you'll get what you asked for.  You did leave me a mile long list and stars next to the things that you really wanted"

   " Olivia laughed,  Well I wanted you to have a good list so you knew what I liked and didn't like you can never be to sure this time of year somebody might give you socks instead of the game that you really wanted."

      "Sarah laughed too, I know I know, Olivia why don't you come over here and sit with me I need to talk to you, you know that I'm leaving and that I'll be gone for about a week right"

   "Yes I know

      "Do you remember when you first came here and I had to bring you to the court house and we were in the car and I made you give me your word that you wouldn't act out and you wouldn't run away do you remember?"

    "Yes I remember that"

      "Well you need to promise me that again you need to give me your word again that you won't act out, Bud and Harriet are good friends of mine and I don't want them calling me up saying that you are causing trouble and that they can't handle you.  Because if I have to come home it won't be a happy greeting I would be very disappointed and I don't know how long it would take me to trust you again about promises. I know you want me here with you and I want to stay to but I can't be here, you have made so much progress and I want you to keep it up do you think that you can do that for me?"

                  Olivia sighed for a moment and thought about what she was thinking about before, she didn't want to make Sarah disappointed in her but she didn't want Sarah to leave what could she say.  If she gave her word then she must stick by it what was she going to do?

   "Sarah I will try my hardest not to make you disappointed in me I'll try to be good and not act out but I don't think I can promise being really good I just don't know?"

                  Sarah looked at Olivia and then at the clock she only had three hours before she had to meet Harm and to go on there way. 

      "Ok Olivia I can accept that answer and I know that you will try you hardest and not disappoint me."

                  With this she and Olivia got up from the bed and started out the door to Bud and Harriet's house.  Mac had a bad feeling that Olivia wasn't going to be on her best behavior and she most likely figured that this was going to be the set back that the therapist had talked about she just hoped that it wasn't going to be horrible and she hoped that she wouldn't run away.  Bud and Harriet could probably handle the bad temper but they most likely wouldn't know what to do if she would run away.  And they both knew Olivia's past so I'm sure that they will suspect so kind of outburst.  Olivia and Sarah had arrived at there house.

                  "Well here we are isn't it a nice house it's really big and they have a big screen TV and I'm sure they'll let you rent some DVD's and watch them on the TV if you ask nicely"

      Olivia got out of the car quietly and went up to the door with Sarah, She felt like she did the first day she went to Sarah house scared and alone.  Mac knocked on the door

      "Hi Bud where's Harriet and little AJ."

         "Oh they are in the kitchen making up a snack we rented a movie hope you like it we got Spiderman AJ just loves Spiderman."

      "Yeah I like it" was all Olivia said

Harriet walked in with AJ in her arms.

    "Hi Olivia I'm glad that you could come and vist while Sarah is away" 

   With this Harriet was going to give her a little hug but Olivia clung to Mac.

                  "Ok, said Sarah,  how about we get you set up in the guest room then I need to get going ok,  do you mind if I just take a few minutes alone with Olivia."

    'Alright said Harriet, just up the stairs to the left"

   Mac and Olivia walked up to the guest room and they started to unpack her stuff.

      "Olivia I know that you might be sad or maybe even angry but please try to be on your best behavior and make me proud of you. Know how about you walk me to the door.

     They walked down the stairs and Olivia gave Sarah a hug goodbye Olivia shut the door and ran upstairs.
