Olivia woke to birds chirping outside the open window. It was a warm morning in early April. She had spent the night at Jay's place. They'd been spend most nights alternating between both of their places lately, since she had remembered the whole pillow thing. She hadn't remembered anything since then, but it was okay. They were going to make new memories and if the old ones came back, so be it. They'd moved forward in their relationship and weren't officially dating, but it was obvious. Oddly enough, it felt more normal to her to be this way with him and to not.

Quietly and gently, she slipped out of bed not to wake Jay or Owen. They started Taking Owen most Saturday nights after she got out of work and they would have him for the weekend. Something Will and Natalie appreciated and Owen loved because weekends with Uncle Jay and Aunt Olivia hardly had any rules. Staying up past his usual bedtime, eating junk food and sweets, whatever he wanted.

She turned on the coffee pot and started breakfast. Owen wanted pancakes, bacon and eggs. Olivia decided to cut up fresh fruit too. She put creamer in her coffee and hummed along to the music playing on her phone. She liked listening to instrumental music in the morning, especially on Sunday's. That was a new interest, she found it soothing. A pair of arms snuck around her waist and a sleepy head rested into the side of her neck.

"Did I wake you?" She asked.

"Kinda, I rolled over to grab you and only Owen was in bed."

"Sorry, I should've had the music lower."

"I like the music."

Olivia laughed at him.

"You shouldn't lie."

"Okay fine, I only like it on Sunday mornings."

"That sounded believable."

She turned to face him.

"Come back to bed Livi."

"I've already started breakfast."

"What happened to sleeping in on Sunday's?" He asked.

She took in his appearance. He still looked exhausted.

"You go back to sleep before Owen wakes."

He shook his head.

"And miss out on alone time with you, no way."

He held her a little tighter.

"Jay, I-"

"Uncle Jay! Aunt Olivia!"

Owen came running into the kitchen to hug them good morning. Jay scooped him up.

"The instruments are playing, that means its special breakfast Sunday! Uncle Jay can we make the drippy eggs."

Jay sat him on the counter.

"Over easy eggs, Owen." He corrected.

"How come you and Aunt Olivia aren't married?"

This was about to get awkward.

"Because we're good friends."

"Daddy says you guys should get married, You belong together."

"Daddy should keep his mouth shut." Jay said.

Olivia elbowed him.

"Uncle Jay and I are very close friends, why don't you go brush your teeth and we'll start breakfast."

Will and Natalie had picked up Owen after dinner . Like usual, Owen didn't want to leave and put up a fight, and they carried him out while having a fit.

"I'm gonna head home, Jay. I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"You don't wanna spend the night?"

"I've spent the past three nights here. you look beat, you should rest."

"Is this about this morning?"

"No, of course not." She answered quickly.

"Okay, then what's bothering you?"

"Nothing, it's just a headache."

"Why don't you lay down for a bit."

She winced in pain and wobbled.

"Liv, you alright?"

She swayed and Jay went to hold her up.

"Liv, can you hear me?"

His touch was like lightening shooting through her body. Painful little fireworks going off in her brain. Flashes of memories and faces on hyper speed, every emotion all at once and she could faintly hear Jay calling her name. Her eyes shot open and she pushed him away.

"What the hell just happened? Are you okay?"

"I'm not sure."

"We should go to the hospital."

"Jay, I don't need to go to Med."

He contemplated fighting her on it.

"Fine, but you're staying here and going to the doctor in the morning."

"Doctor said it was most likely my brain misfiring signals."

"Most likely?! What kind of answer is that!"

She was standing on line waiting for her coffee while on the phone with Jay.

"We should find another doctor."

"But I like my doctor."

"He's useless! You're not even getting any better."

That hurt her feelings a little bit.

"Maybe you need to get used to the fact that the Olivia you knew, isn't coming back!"

Click.

6:25 pm on a Friday night and Jay was sitting in the parking lot of her job debating if he should go in or not. After all, he was due for his haircut. Things hadn't really been the same since she hung up on him. He couldn't really blame her for being upset, but he was upset too. His phone chimed and it was one of her friends.

To Jay, from Diana

Shit or get off the pot Halstead. I saw you pull into the lot. She's just as miserable as you are, and she's having a bad day, don't make it worse.

She glanced at him when he walked in. He watched her take a breath and then she waved him over to his chair.

"Hi." He said.

"Hey." She responded flatly.

He sighed.

"Oliv-"

"Don't, not here."

"Can I please come over tonight, so we can talk?"

She hesitated and he felt terrible that she really had to second guess spending time with him.

"Sure, I'll meet you at my house later."
