A/N: I've been given a challenge to catch up to Gracie, but it's not going to happen because I'm pretty much on track with what I post on here at Just Heavenly just days apart. When I started posting Trinity I was a week and a half behind, but I caught up—YAY for that! Ok, enough rambling. Until next time—Ya'll are the best—PCGirl.

"Are you ready to go?" asked Rafe as he came in to see Alison still sitting on the bed like she had been before he went to take his shower.

"You know, we really don't have to be over to Lucy's for a few hours," she grinned.

"Oh really? Well what would you like to do then?" he said as he sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Well, we could play the baby name again."

"Alison, we have looked at probably every name in the book for Katie a middle name, it's just going to have to wait until we see her for the first time."

"I know, but I just would like to be able to call her by her full name," she said giving him a pout.

"Fine," he said as he went to get it off the bookshelf, seeing the diary he picked it up noticing she had placed a bookmark on a page. "What's the bookmark for?" he said opening it, as if he himself could read the passage.

---------

"Jack, where is your girlfriend?" asked Chris as he rushed into the Trinity to see both Frank and Jack standing at the bar.

"What?" said both men in unison.

"Jasmine."

"You're dating Jasmine?" asked Frank, with a smile appearing on his face.

"No, I'm not dating her. She should be here soon enough though, her shift starts in fifteen minutes," he said taking a quick glance at his watch. Even if he wasn't her boss he was realizing he was learning her schedule real fast—and making sure he was usually working when she was.

"Good—good. I need to ask her for a little favor."

"You are not using my—employee for your own twisted plan."

"This isn't twisted Jack. It's Julie—I want to find out if she's alive."

--------

"You do realize that even if you were to stare at that book for eternity you still wouldn't be able to read it, right?" laughed Livvie as she walked in from the shower in a burgundy terry cloth towel to see him lying sideways on the bed, the diary in front of him opened to a page.

"Yeah, I know—I was just thinking it might suddenly occur to me what all these words really mean."

"Don't bet on it," she said as she came and sat down next to him.

"Well, at least read something to me—oh wise one," he said as he took his hand and began to rub it against the back of her neck.

"Wise one is it? Just because I can read something like this doesn't make me wise."

"You and Alison are giving insight to something that has been lost for centuries, I'd say that's pretty wise," he said as he now ran finger down her neck and across her collarbone, making her shiver slightly.

Livvie made him move his hand so she could keep her concentration before reading, "I asked Trevor today about the spring. If it were possible to go back to it, just him and I, so that we may have more children. He told me no, not for fear of losing his life by some unknown force—whether it be Elena or someone else, but actually for fear of him losing me. The cost of him only having one child to carry on his legacy seems greater than my own life, but I will not push the matter further because I'm unsure I could live without him either."

---------

"Let me see it," said Alison taking the book from his hand and placing it in her lap. "Ahh yes—Today I was paid a visit by Trevor. He himself came to tell me they found the group of missing Kovich's, huddled together in a cave to brave the elements outside. They had already become human when they went for shelter, and then trapped in as the cave entrance probably iced over. He apologized again for the unnecessary murder of Gregory and promised that no Morley will ever believe the words of Myra again, and I agreed that the same will be said for the Kovich's.

"As for taking back my oath to Gregory to end his brother's life early, I will not take that back. Trevor took away the one that that meant the most to me, and nothing will bring him back to me."

Rafe looked at Alison, tears coming down from her eyes, "Don't—don't cry please," he begged.

"I can't help it, I just imagine what Elena was feeling and it makes me sad—and then I think of having to live without you, and my emotions get the best of me," she said as she reached for a Kleenex. "I hate being pregnant, my emotions are worse than usual."

Rafe laughed, "Well, I think you are even more gorgeous when you are pregnant."

"Really?" she said as her eyes cleared.

"Yeah, and let me show you," he said as he moved up the bed to where she was and began to gently kiss her. They had definitely found something to keep them from being at Lucy's early, but neither of them cared.

-----------

"You want to what?" spoke up Frank who got a glare from both men. "Sorry, it's just a shock. I mean I know what Jasmine's powers are, but can she really tell you that?"

"I think she can, I mean I haven't talked to her—which is why I want to."

"Make sure this is what you want Chris," said Frank as he went in the back.

"Your future awaits," said Jack as Jasmine walked in. "Chris, you have a good woman right now, are you going to ruin it?"

"I—Jack, I just have to know what happened to her," he said as he walked over and began to talk to her. Jack watched as Chris asked her the question, and then pulled out a picture of Julie from his wallet. She took the picture looking at it, and then giving it back, before saying something quietly to him before Chris took one last look back at Jack before leaving.

---------

"Caleb?" said Livvie softly as she finished and looked over at him. "Caleb—are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Was just thinking about what they gave up for the fear of losing each other, and in the end they weren't together for more than the time of a normal mortal life."

"Really? Did Elena complete her threat then?"

"Yeah, I'm sure Tara wrote about it later on."

"Well, I know we'll never lose each other right?"

"Right," he said, trying to swallow the lump in his throat for he realized his fear and Trevor's were the same. "I love you Olivia," he said as he moved over and began to kiss her neck, his words vibrating off her soft skin.

"I love you Caleb," she replied, falling into his trance.

-----------

"You know, we're not going to be able to do this as easily as we just did in a few months," said Alison as she snuggled into Rafe more, or as close as she could being pregnant.

"Really?"

"Yeah Rafe—we can't exactly just let the babies be crying in the other room when the chance for romance comes around."

"Oh yeah, I knew that. I'm sure we can let Cousin Lucy take the kids, or Grandma Elizabeth," he said as Alison began to laugh. "What? What did I say?"

"My mother being a grandma—it's just—I can't picture that," she choked out through laugher.

"Yeah, that is a pretty funny picture. You know, we should leave for Lucy's now," he said rubbing her arms.

"Yeah, I know—hey, can we go look at houses afterwards? There's this one I wanted to show you, I went and looked at it awhile ago—I hope it's still on the market."

"Sure, I've got one that I think is perfect for us," he said smiling as he gave her a kiss on the temple.

---------

Chris walked into the apartment calling for Elizabeth, "Hey—are you home? Hello? Guess not," he said as he took out the piece of paper with the numbers on it and the picture of Julie in his wallet. "Could you really be alive?" he said shaking his head in confusion. He picked up the telephone and dialed, "Hello information—I need the telephone number for the Illinois DMV. Ok, thank you very much," he said hanging up the phone. One more step—that's all it took and he could find out the truth—but what would happen once he found it. Just then the front door opened and he saw Elizabeth walk in, "Hey," he said putting the picture up.

"Hey—what are you up to?"

"Trying to get in touch with a colleague from the hospital," he said getting up and giving her a hug, ready to give up the search for a bit.

---------

"Caleb, are you awake?" asked Livvie as she laid tangled up in the sheets and him on the bed, her hand tracing circles on his chest.

"Mmm hmm. What is it?" he asked, his eyes still closed.

"When Trevor died, did Tara and Elena stay friends?"

"I believe so. Why, are you worried yours and Alison's friendship might end?" he said with a slight laugh.

"Oh no, because Alison and I—we've always been friends you know," she said laughing at herself. It was silly for her to think this, for her to think her and Alison might be friends again—for real this time, not just playing with each other to get what they wanted, revenge on each other or someone else.

"Don't worry Olivia—I'm not going anywhere, and I'm pretty sure Rafe isn't either—not anytime soon."
