"Asking for forgiveness is just one of the most painful kind of experiences."

~Nick Nolte

Liv had just finished setting the table as heard the familiar rumble of Happy's Harley pulling into their driveway. The house smelled wonderful; it was a food menagerie.

"Well someone has been busy today." Happy walked around the corner and pulled Liv into his arms. He placed his lips on hers. "I was wondering why you said you were going to stay home today." His lips brushed her cheek as he released her. "So, what do I own the honor of this delicious smelling food?"

"Why do you think this food is for you?" Liv teased as she pulled a roast out of the oven. It looked perfectly cooked. She wanted to pat herself on the back.

Happy laughed, "I would like to see you eat all this food yourself. Do you even have room in there?" He ran his hands over Olivia's belly.

Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Happy. "That was a low blow Mr. Lowman. I think I'll just throw all this food away now." Liv motioned to the garbage can.

Happy threw his arms up and took a step back from Olivia. "Whoa! No need to waste a perfectly delicious meal. I mean you slaved away all day."

"Hmm." Liv gave Hap a sideways glance. "I guess it would be a waste." A smile crossed her face. "Why don't you make yourself useful and bring this to the table. She handed Happy the roast she had just plated. "And maybe cut it up while you're at it." Happy grunted as he took the plate towards the dining room. Liv wondered if she could love the curmudgeon of a man any more than she already did.

The food was just as delectable as it smelled. The roast melted in Liv's mouth as she ate it; perfection. She mentally patted herself on the back. It was by far one of the best meals she had ever cooked.

"So, tell me my lovely mama to be, what's with the meal?" Happy asked as he leaned back in his chair.

"Does a nice, home cooked meal have to mean anything?" Sure, it did, but Olivia didn't want to admit it. She wanted at least a few days to soften Happy up before she spoke to him about it. "Can't I just do something nice?"

"Of course, you can, but why don't you just tell me what's on your mind?" Happy's soft brown eyes regarded Liv.

Shoot, he knew her so well. There went the few days to soften him up. "I got a call from Chase yesterday; he got his first starring roll in a play in Portland. He asked me to come up to see it on opening night." Now that it was out there Liv mentally readied herself for the fight Happy would put up.

"Olivia, you know that it's not safe for you to travel." Hap ran his hand over his face. His voice was on edge.

She had already taken care of that, knowing Happy would use that for his defense. "Actually, I spoke with Dr. Hunnam today at my appointment about traveling. He said since everything is going so well with my pregnancy and I have not had any complications that he has no disagreements with me traveling as long as it's before 37 weeks. I would be back by the start of my 37th week. Dr. Hunnam also spoke about getting in touch with one of his colleagues in Portland in case anything happens."

Happy growled and pushed away from the table abruptly. "Fuck. Why didn't you just talk with me before you talked to your doctor? God damn it Olivia." He glared at her as he made his way towards the bar in their formal dining room.

Liv stood and followed Happy. "I wanted to come to you with information. If Dr Hunnam would have said 'no' then it would have been moot point. Now come on Hap, I will only be gone for a few days. I need this before the baby comes. I need to go and enjoy a weekend with my best friend. Why don't you come along? We could make a trip out of it." She suggested.

"I have no desire to go and sit at a play or be the third wheel in the Liv/Chase train. Can you just leave me alone for a while? I need to work through this shit before I get more pissed off at you." Happy took a long sip of the whiskey had poured himself and made his way outside.

Liv nodded and left the room. Happy had been better about communicating with her since they had been back together but never had he asked her to leave him alone. He normally put up a fight, she wondered if he was going soft in his old age. She busied herself with getting things cleaned up after dinner and after Happy still hadn't come inside, Liv decided to cuddle up on the couch with one of the many baby books she was trying to make her way through.

The garage door opening and closing startled Liv awake from where she dozed off while reading. It had not been on uncommon thing for her to fall asleep easily since it was hard to come by at night. She slowly sat up on the couch as Happy entered the room and sat in the chair next to the couch.

He watched her quietly for a moment before speaking. "This year has been hard on us but you especially. I hadn't really thought about it until today, how much you had been through. If you say you need this, and the doc is okay with it, then I am okay with you going to Portland for a short weekend. Thank you for inviting me but I think it will be good for you to spend some time with Chase and Reese."

That was easier than she thought it would be. Excitement filled Liv to the point she felt like she was going to explode. She moved as quickly as her body would allow her and kissed Happy. "Do you know how much I love you?" Liv asked.

"Why don't you show me?!" Happy smirked as his eyes hooded with lust stared at her.

Liv was more than willing to show Hap how much she loved him all night long.

Chase stood in front of airport security exit holding a sign that said HOT MAMA WANTED over his head. When he saw Liv, he bounced up and down; his hair was longer, and it flopped as he moved. A giggled escaped Liv's lips. Reese was standing next to Chase and was his normal calm self. Liv was grateful for his presence in Chase's life, he was like the straight and narrow from him.

"OLIVER!" Chase engulfed her in his arms.

"God, I've missed you!" Liv smiled broadly as she stepped away from Chase, so she could hug Reese. "Hey Reese, how are you? Keeping this one inline?" She asked as she interlinked her arm into Chase's.

Reese laughed. "I'm good. I am glad you're finally here and that the play is opening tomorrow. I have not heard about anything other than you and the play."

Seemed about right. Liv thought to herself.

"So, what are your plans while you are here? I mean other than spending time with me, oh and Reese." Chase questioned as they made their way out to the car.

Olivia hadn't told anyone that she had called Juice a few days before leaving Charming. She asked him if she could meet her in Portland. She needed to talk to him and deal with some more of her shit, that she was trying to work through with her therapist. Juice was one of the biggest loose ends she had to work on. When she spoke to him, he had been more than happy to meet with her. They were set to meet with her before she went to Chase's play.

"Actually, the only thing I have planned other than enjoying you guys is meeting an old friend for coffee, tomorrow before your play." Liv didn't lie but she didn't divulge all the facts.

Chase shot her a sideways glance but didn't push the issue. "Well alright then preggers, lets go enjoy each other before my mind goes nuts over my lines."

Why couldn't the chair have been more comfortable? Liv wondered as she shifted her extremely pregnant body on the wooden chair. She tried to focus on her body and not the fact that her mind was screaming at her for lying to Happy. Well, not really lying, but excluding a huge fact. She had told him she was meeting up with a friend but just didn't tell him who. If Happy had known it was Juice he would have been angry, scratch that he would have been irate. Liv was sure if he found he out he would never let her travel alone ever again. She had hoped that if Happy did find out, that he would understand why she had to meet with Juice, and why her therapist, thought it would be for the best. Shit, Happy didn't completely understand forgiveness, so it was best he never knew about it.

Olivia had arrived early to meet Juice, she was a bundle of nerves. Lying was probably the main reason behind her nervousness.

"Here is your decaf peppermint mocha." The barista set a steaming mug in front of Liv, interrupting her thoughts that were rampant through her mind.

"Thank you." Olivia responded, barely looking up at the woman. She had spotted Juice walk by the window. She could still spot him in a crowd after all the time that had passed.

Butterflies erupted violently in Liv's stomach as Juice walked through the coffee shop door. His brown eyes searched the room until they met hers. A smile crossed his face and he made his way towards Liv. That smile still lit up the room, Liv wondered if he still gave them as freely as he used to. Happy's smiles were still so rare, it made her occasionally miss the spontaneity of Juice's smile. Liv stood as Juice reached the table.

"Hi." Liv tried to hide the anxiety that oozed from her.

Juice smiled broadly. There it was again. He's eyes studied her from top to bottom. "Hey." He offered his hand to Liv to what she only assumed was to shake it. Seemed a little formal for them. Olivia refused his hand and surprised them both by embracing him. "You look good Liv." Juice said as they parted. "Pregnancy has really made you glow. It looks good on you."

A snort escaped from Liv as she instinctively moved her hands to her abdomen. "Thank you, Juice." She was grateful for the complement because she felt like she was about to explode.

"How far along are you?" He asked as they sat down at the table.

"I'm just about 37 weeks along." Liv took a long drink of her mocha which she regretted at soon as the hot liquid touched her lips, but she needed a distraction and break from Juice's intense stare.

"Do you know what you are having? And how did you manage to convince Happy to let you come here, especially being so far along?" He started to bombard Olivia with questions.

Liv put her mug on the table before answering Juice. "We're having a boy. As for Happy, he just needed to hear it was okay for me to travel from my specialist. I am here for Chase's play opening. Happy knows nothing about us meeting." She admitted for the first time out loud.

Juice just nodded and just sat there silently. His hair was longer than Liv had ever seen it and he had it styled; something she hadn't seen before or maybe it was the fact that she was just so used to Happy's bald head. Olivia would have been lying to herself if she said she didn't find Juice attractive; he was still very easy on the eyes.

"I am going to go get a coffee. Do you need or want anything?" Juice stood, breaking the somewhat awkward silence that had settled between them.

Thankful for the reprieve, Liv shook her head and pointed towards her mostly full mug. "No, thank you. I'm set."

Truth be told, Liv was hungry, but she feared if she ate anything it would come right back up. What she was about to say to Juice was not going to be easy and it was going to drudge up emotions she didn't want to deal with again. Liv was grateful for the moment of silence; it gave her a moment to try to formulate what she was going to say to Juice. What was she going to say? How does one bring up a horrible time in both of their lives?

Juice sitting down at the table again interrupted Liv's thoughts. She decided to make more small talk before plunging into the deep shit. "How are Avery and Natalie?"

From the look on Juice's face, Liv could tell nothing good was going to come out of Juice's mouth. "Avery is doing great. She is talking up a storm and her favorite thing in all the world is going school." He paused momentarily. "Things between Natalie and I have been rough for a while now. If it wasn't for Avery, I would have left her. Haven't you guys talked lately?"

A frown passed across Liv's face when he asked the question. When was the last time she had talked to Natalie? She thought about it and realized that the last time she had spoke to Natalie was at the hospital. There was a time in her life that Liv spoke to Natalie several times a day and if she didn't she missed her like crazy. Now, she hadn't even thought about her for months or more accurately 32 weeks. There was a wound in their relationship that would never be healed no matter how hard they tried or pretended that nothing happened. That was something else she was sure that her therapist would pull out of her at some point.

"No. The last time I spoke to Natalie was when I was in the hospital. Neither of us have tried to contact the other. I think that we both realized that we are beyond repair." Liv sighed.

"I'm sorry that I caused that rift." Juice said earnestly.

Liv was about to respond but her phone started to ring. "Fuck." She muttered as she looked at the screen. It was Happy. "Excuse me I should take this." Liv stood and waddled away from the table. She couldn't consciously talk to Happy and sit across the table from Juice. Liv flicked answer.

"Hello handsome." Liv smiled.

"How's it going gorgeous?" Happy's raspy voice asked. God, she missed him.

"It's going pretty well. I miss you." She felt a twinge of guilt.

"Yeah, you'll be home tomorrow and I cannot wait for a home cooked meal." Happy teased.

"Just a home cooked meal huh? I see how I rank these days, barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen." Liv snorted.

Happy's laughter filled her ears, "How are you feeling?" He asked.

"I've never been better. I am feeling good; no contractions, no new aches or pains. And LL is moving up a storm, beating his mom up from the inside out." As Liv's belly grew, her body began to ache, which was to be expected.

"Good. You realize if something happens in Portland it is going to take me ages to get up there. I would feel better if you were here." Happy's anxiety about Liv's pregnancy seeped through the phone.

"Hap, like you said I will be home in a tomorrow. I am feeling great right now, so there is nothing to worry about. Can I call you later Hap? I'm having coffee right now and I am being rude to my old friend." She said quietly. And hope that Happy would not ask who her old friend was, she would rather just avoid that all together.

"Alright. I love you, Olivia." Happy's voice was gentle. "I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip and have a good visit with your friend."

Ouch! "I love you too, Happy. And I can't wait to be home with you." She felt so shameful for keeping things from him.

Liv hung up with Happy and made her way back to the table with Juice. "Sorry about that. Does Natalie know why you are here?" It would only make sense that he didn't tell her since they were on a rocky road.

"Actually, yes she knows I am here to see you. Natalie has a habit of looking at my phone. I normally delete everything, but I hadn't. She recognized your number and asked, so I told her. I hope you're okay with that." Juice frowned.

Wow, Natalie was looking at his phone and he tolerated that? Liv never looked at Happy's phone, it was none of her business who he called and vice versa. They had enough trust; unless he found out about Juice, then the Lord only knew what Happy would do.

"That is pretty shitty of her Juice. I'm sorry." Liv shook her head. Thinking back to Natalie's other relationships with men and then it didn't surprise her.

Juice shrugged. "It is what, it is."

Liv frowned, when had Juice become so complacent? He was not the same man she knew. He had rolled over and taken what life had thrown at him. "It really isn't Juice. You shouldn't allow her to do that. Would she ever allow you to look at her phone?" The look on Juice's face said it all. "Yeah, I didn't think so. You deserve so much better than that and so does Avery."

"I don't want to just walk away from Avery." Juice said it like it was the only option for him.

"Really? Do you think that if you get out of a miserable relationship for both you and Natalie that you will walk away from Avery?" Wow…just wow. Liv thought to herself before continuing. "No, Juice, you will teach her how to live in a healthy relationship. You will teach her what it is to be loved by two parents who are happy. I am sure that neither of you are content in your relationship. Your probably both in it for the wrong reasons, you for Avery and Natalie to just be taken care of. Has she even worked since you two have been together?"

Olivia watched as Juice processed what she had just said. A gentle smile appeared on his face. "You really did choose the right career path. You should never stop."

Liv shook her head. "I don't think I am going to be able to go back to what I was doing before the shooting. At least I do not see it happening anytime in the near future. I am still dealing with a lot of things right now and I can't help others until I clear my mind. Actually, that is why I called to see if you were able to meet me." Okay, here goes nothing. She thought.

Juice leaned back in his chair. "Yeah, I didn't think you just brought me here to shoot the shit Liv. I mean don't get me wrong if you did, I would be just as happy to meet with you, but I figured there was something else going on." He smirked.

Olivia took a deep breath and let the air out slowly, "I don't even know where to begin." She said quietly. "I have been seeing a therapist and she has actually helped me work through a lot of what happened to me before the shooting. All except for you, she said that I was the only one who was going to heal that wound. I need to ask for your forgiveness Juan Carlos."

Juice nodded, "Of course, Liv. I forgive you." Sadness glinted in his eyes.

"Stop, please just listen to what I have to say before you can say you forgive me." Liv needed to confess everything to Juice, things she hadn't even uttered to her therapist. Juice nodded for her to go on. "When I was taken out of the clutches of Marks and Cartwright for the first time it was Happy who saved me. He cut me free from my restraints and carried my weak and broken body out of the room where I was kept. I was so lost, so defeated. I had lost pieces of myself to those monsters who raped me, but most of all I had lost you. I was broken." Liv unconsciously rubbed her wrists, remembering the pain that shot through them for days after her freedom.

"I slept with Happy only a few nights after I was rescued. I needed to forget those men's hands on me. I needed to erase the disgrace I felt and most of all I wanted to stop feeling the pain of losing you. That night freed me in so many ways, without knowing it. That is how my feelings for Happy started; he took away the nightmares and the pain. He filled the Juice shaped hole in my heart and made me feel so much more." Liv paused for a moment thinking about how much she loved Happy. It was such a warm feeling compared to how she currently felt. She shuttered at the thought of this betrayal to him.

"So, when you and I were reunited at the warehouse, I had already been in a relationship with Happy for months. I was over taken by surprise and relief when I saw you. I was going to tell you about Happy, but I couldn't when I went over to your house that first time, because you were so excited to see me. All I could get out was the unfortunate events prior to our reunion. I knew after seeing you again; all I wanted was Happy. You know what happened after that." Tears filled Liv's eyes. The anguish of those days rushed to the forefront of her mind. It hurt deep within her soul.

"I am sorry for using you that night we slept together, because I just felt the need to be wanted. I didn't mean to end up at your house that night Juice. I should have just walked away, I should have just kept running, because I didn't mean to use you that night. I was just so hurt by what Happy saying he didn't want me. I should have never let you think that I loved you still because honestly, I cared for you, but I didn't love you like I love him. There was no one else but him and there will never be anyone but Happy. I was never honest with you about that and I hate myself for that Juice.

I am sorry that I lead you on for months; I had hoped that I would fall back into love with you, but I couldn't. My heart was not mine to give anymore. I am sorry that I pushed you into the arms of Natalie. Hell, I never though Natalie would betray me in the way she did. I guess she showed her real colors." That was one betrayal she realized she could never really get past, even with therapy. Liv had tried, but it was too hard.

"Juice, I am sorry for every betrayal, lie and broken heart I ever caused you. I am sorry I moved on when I should have been mourning my loss of you. I am sorry that I fell in love with someone else, when you were trying to save me. I sorry that I broke what we had and that I was too afraid to tell you what I had done." Liv stifled a sob and wiped the tears that were falling freely from her eyes off her face.

"Jesus, Liv." Juice shook his head and brushed tears from his face. "I still forgive you. Obviously, I wish things would have worked out differently for us. Honestly, I just wish you the best."

Relief washed over Liv, it felt good to get that out, now for the hardest part. "This is the last time I am going to be able to see you Juice. I can not do this to Happy ever again. He and our baby are my life now and bringing the past up is something I am trying hard to get away from. I hope you understand."

The look on Juice's face was like a gut punch to Liv's very being. He looked defeated and sad. She had pulled what little hope he might have had of maintaining a relationship away from him. It hurt Liv to see that look.

Juice ran his hand through his hair and looked as if he was trying to formulate what to say. "I don't want to let you go." His words came out in barely a whisper.

Liv bit her lower lip when she felt the grief that came along with his words. "Juice, it's not healthy for either of us to maintain contact. I am lying to Happy right now. Just me being here with you would break his heart. I can't do that to him. What I am doing right now, is for me, so I can heal, but if we were to meet again it would not be fair to anyone involved. Not to us or Happy and Natalie. Juice, meeting you when I did changed my life and for that I will be forever grateful. But having you in my life is not healthy for me or my relationships." There was that therapist in her, that she hoped would not have reared her face.

"But Liv." Juice grabbed her hands and they rested on the table and held them tightly within his. "I…I don't want to lose you. I.." He stopped and loosened his grip on her but did not let go.

"I am sorry Juice." Liv tried to gently pull her hands out from under his but he wouldn't let go. "You need to move on Juice, you need to let me go. I need you to let me go."

"You saved me." His brown eyes looked deeply into Olivia's. "I was going to kill myself that night I came into the diner. I just wanted one last meal and a piece of pie before I went. But there you were with your big icy blue eyes and tight body. I thought maybe I would see if you wanted to spend the night with me and then I could die a happy man. Liv you saved me that night by telling me no; by convincing me to take you on another date. You made me look forward to the next day and the next. By the time I realized it I had a life with you in Charlotteville."

Liv had never known any of that. She thought Juice was just passing through town looking for a place to settle down. She never knew he was going to take his own life and she was the reason why he hadn't. It was a lot to take in. "Why didn't you tell me that?"

Juice shook his head. "Because by the time I would have told you, it didn't matter anymore."

"Juan Carlos Ortiz, it would have mattered. It matters now." Even if it melted Liv's resolve some, she had to stick to her guns and end this with Juice. "I still have to say goodbye Juice. I need you to do the same. Please."

Juice sighed deeply and finally released Liv's hands. "Thank you for saving me Liv. If you ever change your mind, my door is always open." Tears betrayed him.

Liv nodded not wanting to give him a glimmer hope but also not wanting to take it away from him after what he had just confessed. "I will keep that in mind. Thank you for your forgiveness Juice. You don't know how much it means to me." Liv rose to leave, Juice stood with her and gave her a hug. "Please take care of yourself Juice. And please think about what I said about you and Natalie. At least for Avery's sake." Liv said as they parted. Juice nodded.

Those fucking sad, puppy dog eyes stared back at her. Tightness swelled within Liv's throat, tears threated again.

"Before you go, I need you to know that you will be the one I compare all the others to. I will always love you, Liv." There was a change in Juice's voice, it was not stoic like he had tried to make it sound even in his panic. It gave away every bit of his sorrow.

Olivia held in everything she was feeling and just bowed her head. "I wish you the best, Juan Carlos. You deserve to be happy." She made a hasty exit. "Goodbye Juice." She whispered.

As the air of Portland hit Liv, she let out a loud sob that she had been holding in. She hurt just as much as Juice did that day. It was hard to say goodbye to the person that she thought she was going to spend her life with at one point. To that one person she thought she would give her life for. Now that person was Happy and he would be that person for the rest of Olivia's life.

"You better call me when that kid gets here." Chase pulled Liv into a hug.

It had been so wonderful getting to hang out with him and Reese for a few days. They were planning on visiting as soon as Liv had the baby. Which gave Olivia something exciting to look forward to, well other than the baby's birth.

"Of course. I am going to miss you!" Liv smiled at the man who had become her best friend over the past few years. "Your play was fabulous! I can not wait to see more. I hope the rest of it goes really well."

Chase smiled broadly. "I hope so too. So far reviews are great, so that is a good thing."

"Yes, Chaser its fabulous! You better not forget me when you become a star." Liv knew Chase would never forget her or leave her behind it wasn't in him.

"Never. Now if you don't go, you are going to miss your flight." Chase gave her one last hug before she made her way into the airport.

The flight home was only an hour and a half, so it didn't surprise her that she arrived exactly on time. Liv knew that Happy would be there right on time too. She grabbed her carry on and made her way off the plane. She was tired. The weekend had done her in and she just wanted to snuggle into bed with Happy. Scratch that she couldn't wait to do that.

She walked out into the warm and dry California air. It was wonderful, so much better than the dampness of Portland. Liv's eyes scanned the lot and it wasn't Happy she was greeted by it was Lyla.

"Hey." Liv tried to hide her disappointment, but she was sure it showed.

"Hello lovely lady. How was your flight?" Lyla asked as they got into her Pries.

Liv sighed and leaned her head back against the seat. "The flight was fine. I thought Happy was going to pick me up." It wasn't like Hap to go back on his word to her.

"He asked me if I could, he said something came up. Although he seemed like something was up." Lyla said quietly like she knew more than she was letting on.

"Can you bring me to Redwoody?" Liv asked knowing that would be where he was.

On the way from Lodi, Liv fell asleep in the car. It wasn't until the car came to a halt and Lyla lightly shook her that Olivia woke. Liv tried to stretch out her body but couldn't in the small car.

"We're here and it looks like Happy's bike is here." Lyla said as they exited her car and made their way into Redwoody. "If you need anything I will be in my editing room." Lyla touched Liv's shoulder as she made her way past her.

Liv nodded as she made her way towards Happy who was at the bar and had his back to her. He had a beer in his hand; it annoyed Liv because he didn't seem like he was too busy with the club to pick her up. He was chatting and drinking beer with Jackson and Montez, that was not busy.

"Hi guys." Liv tried to push away her annoyance with Happy. Maybe he had a legitimate reason for not being there to pick her up. Olivia wrapped her arms around Happy and she felt him tense up. That was her answer right there, there wasn't a good reason.

"Hey Liv. How was your trip?" Jax asked with a smile.

Liv glanced up at Happy before answering, he hadn't even looked down at her. She noticed a flare in his nostril and wondered what was up his ass. "It was great but its good to be home."

A quiet snort came from Happy.

"Glad that you had a good time. I should call it a night, I need to let the nanny head home." Jax gave Liv a squeeze on the shoulder as he walked by.

Montez had already made himself scares by the time Liv turned back to look up at Happy again. Annoyance was oozing from her.

"You want to tell me what is going with you?" She stepped back and stared at Happy. He whipped around and glared down at Liv, she wanted flinch at the anger that was directed to her but she didn't.

"Did you meet the fucking rat, Juice when you were in Portland? Was that your whole reason for going down there?" Happy growled. His anger purred out of him in waves.

Liv said nothing. How the hell did he find out. She had not told anyone.

"The look on your face says everything I need to know Olivia." Happy barked at her. "So just fucking tell me the truth!"

"Yes, met Juice and no, I didn't just go to see him. How did you find out?" Liv asked, hoping that he had trusted her enough not to have her followed.

"Does it fucking matter Olivia? You fucking LIED TO ME!" Happy yelled loudly and got closer to Liv.

Liv took a step back and hit one of the tables. "Yeah I lied, because I knew you'd react this way and you would have let me go." She snapped back. "I needed to close that door with him once and for all."

"How hard is it to just close the door by never seeing him again? You seemed to have done that with your friend Natalie; since you didn't seem to have to meet with her as well."

There it was, Natalie had ratted her out to Happy. She had to cause misery in Liv's life because she was so displeased with her own. If Natalie thought there was a chance they could be friends again, she was sorely mistaken. If it wasn't for Avery she would kick her ass out on the street, since Liv technically still owned the house she lived in.

"You know nothing about why I was so easily able to close that door Happy." Liv retorted. "I talked to my therapist about Juice and she thought it was best…"

"Of course, she thought it was the best that you saw him. What the fuck is wrong with you Olivia?" Happy tone bit. "Did you fuck him like Natalie said you were probably doing?"

Liv slapped Happy as hard as she could. "Fuck you Happy Lowman. FUCK YOU!" She screamed and started to storm away but then turned back. "Not once since being back in Charming have I brought up the fact that you cheated on me and that those sorry fucking whores are still here. Their faces are enough of a reminder to me, so maybe, I should be the one asking you if you cheated on me!"

"Fucking Bitch!" Happy shouted.

Those words ate at Liv's heart. It hurt to hear them from Happy of all people. Those hateful words were directed at her. Sure, he was right to be upset with her on so many levels, but the way he was treating her was wrong. It hurt…her very…

…fuck, it wasn't her soul that hurt it was her abdomen. A sharp pain ripped through the lower half of her body and she fell to knees on the floor. A whimper escaped her lips. She tried to rise from her position, but she was unable to, her body wouldn't allow it. Liv started to crawl to the closest thing she could grab onto to stand up. But before she could get to where she was going a set of arms pulled her up.

"Are you okay?" Happy asked, panic in his voice. The rage in his eyes was replaced by concern. So quickly things could change.

Liv shrugged his arm off her shoulder, "get off me." She snapped but then grabbed his arm as another lightning pain shot through her.

"I am bringing you to the hospital." Happy scooped her up and rushed out to the car.

Liv didn't fight, in fact it was a good idea. So, she just nodded and prayed everything was okay with the baby. Everything had to be okay with the baby or she would never be able to live with herself.

A/N: That was such a hard chapter to write, there were far too many feels. I am sorry if the Chase scene seemed a bit rushed, but originally this chapter was meant to be just Liv and Juice and then Hap's reaction. But I felt like if Chase didn't at least make an appearance it would just a sad chapter. Plus I love Chase. I hope you enjoyed it, it really was a labor of love...that took me a long time to write. I apologize if there are any grammatical or spelling errors...I wanted to get it out to you tonight because there is no way I will be able to tomorrow.
ENJOY and as always thank you all!
