CHAPTER TWO

Olivia woke up around nine in the morning rolling over she saw Emma was gone.
At first she thought nothing of it then remembering what happened with Phillip she instantly panicked.
"Emma?"She sat up looking around the room but she was nowhere to be seen.
"Emma?sweetie?"She slowly got out of bed getting more worried by the second.
By the time she reached the door and the top of the stairs she was a wreck.
Without thinking she flew down the steps bursting into company.
"EMMA!EMMA!"Suddenly two arms locked around her she screamed a spun around.
"NO!"She was surprised and relieved to find it was only her dear friend.
"Hey,calm down she's fine she's right over there"He said turning her to face a table.
Emma sat at the table scribbling on some paper and humming.
"Oh thank God"She broke free of his comforting embrace and ran to the table dropping to her knees by her daughters chair.
He watched her from far back she said something to Emma who picked up her picture to show her mommy.
Slowly he walked over to join them.
"Look mommy,Me,You and Frank"Emma said proudly showing Olivia her drawing.
"That is really good"Olivia smiled at her.
"Yeah,And we're gonna make pancakes too"Emma said happily.
"Ok but after breakfeast we haft to go home"Olivia replied standing.
"I'm sorry you were so upset,She got up around eight I didn't mean to scare you"Buzz spoke up behind her.
"No it's fine I overreacted I should have known she was with you"She said turning to face him.
"Well I know I'm not the best with kids but I gotta admit the screaming down the steps is a bit much"He said with a smile.
"You shouldn't do that you know"She said shaking her head.
"Do what"
"Sell yourself short you're one of the best"replied with a small smile.
"Oh yeah,how would you know that?"He asked.
"Did you forget, I've had you"She replied walking past him to jion Emma who had scampered over to the bar.
"No,I didn't forget"He said softly to himself.
He walked over to where Olivia and Emma stood.
"Ok,what do we want for breakfeast?"He asked pickind Emma up and setting her on the counter.
"pancakes pancakes pancakes!"Emma squealed happily.
"Pancakes well that,that I can do"He smiled walking around the counter.
Olivia smiled as she watched him and Emma begin making their breakfeast.
They had just started when there was a nock at the door.
Fearing the worst Olivia rushed to pick up Emma.
Buzz went to the door briefly placing a comforting hand on her arm.
When he opened the door he found Frank on the other side.
He stepped aside silently pointing towards where Olivia stood.
Frank walked over to Olivia smiling.
"Well,Did you find Phillip?"She asked setting Emma down who scampered off with Buzz.
"No and there is no sign he was in your apartment"Frank said softly.
"But,he was,he was there I saw him"She argued.
"Maybe...but still..."Olivia cut him off.
"NO,NOT MAYBE HE WAS THERE!"She argued her yelling got Buzz's attention.
"Are you sure,Maybe you had a bad dream"Frank gave her a gentle smile.
"Frank,Look at her face, does it look like she had a bad dream to you?"Buzz spoke up.
"well,There was no proof he was there"Frank argued.
"Do you yourself evidence aside believe me?"Olivia asked calming down for a second.
"I haft to believe the evidence"Frank replied solomly.
Olivia stood still for a minute then she gave a nod and walked away.
"Olivia!"Frank was about to go after her when Buzz held out a hand to stop him shaking his head.
"Give her a minute."Buzz said sternly.
Shaking his head at his son Buzz turned back to Emma.
"Why don't you and Frank finish the pancakes and I'll go fetch your mother"He said smiling.
"Ok,come on Frank"Emma grabbed his hand pulling him along as he shot his dad a glaring look.
Buzz slowly walked up the steps that Olivia had run up seconds ago.
He was surprised she was sitting at the top of them leaning against the wall knees brought up to her chest.
"Hey,Are you alright?"He asked getting closer to her.
She looked up shaking her head slightly.
"He doesn't believe me,I'm sure nobody else does"She said softly.
"I believe you"He replied.
she looked up and gave him a small smile.
"Thank you"She said softly.
"Look,Frank he just...he doesn't know how to respond to some things and work is his defense he didn't mean it"He said trying to convince her.
"I know,But I'm so scared and he was so,furiou"She dropped her head.
"The important thing is you both got away ok"He encouraged.
"This time,we got away this time,Next time,Who knows?"She shrugged her shoulders sadly.
"No,No,Olivia there won't be a next time"He said seriously.
"I can you possibly know that?"She asked looking up at him.
"Because I won't let him hurt you"He said sternly.
"Sometime,things happen and you can't help it"She replied sadly.
"Alright look,"He sat beside her before continuing.
"Stay here with me till he's caught I'll gaurd you with me life"He finished.
She looked at him and he smiled.
"You wouldn't mind?"She asked.
"No not at all infact I insist you two stay here"He replied with a smile.
"Thank you"She leaned over giving him a gentle hug.
When she pulled away she gave him a shy smile,which made him want to do nothing more then take her face in his hands and shower her with kisses.
Fighting it down he took her hand stood and pulled her to her feet.
"Now let's go before I starve"He said going down the steps.
"ok ok,I'm coming"She smiled.
"Good I need food woman I'm a growing boy"He said it so serious she laughed and shook her head.
Frank looked up to see his dad and girlfriend come laughing down the steps hand in hand.
Emma ran to jion them and as Buzz picked her up Frank looked over at the perfect family.
