"This... us, never happened" Olivia said and looked at Peter while he stood up and got out of the bar. She had been here before, it was the same story, an attractive ADA enters the squad, weeks later she's in a relationship with him, a relationship that became serious too fast. How was that she didn't see it coming?. She had experienced it before and still she fell into the same trap again.

She looked around the bar but it was empty. It was that late already? Maybe she had spent the night there thinking about her past relationships and the way they all had ended.

"Mommy"

Noah? He was there?... she didn't remember bringing him to the bar with her.

"Mommy"

Olivia slowly opened her eyes to see Noah right in front of her with a smile on his face. She let out a breath she didn't know was holding, relieved that it had been just a dream.

" good morning sweet boy" She said getting up before kissing his head.

"Morning... I'm ready for school, I did it all by myself" Noah said proudly.

That got Olivia's attention. How late it was?. Looking at the clock she saw it was almost 8am. Giving Noah a second glance she noticed he was wearing the clothes she had arranged for him the night before.

"Oh God... em... Noah..." desperation took over her, she hated being late, there were important cases she needed to solve.

"It's too early?"

" No, It's ok baby, so you got ready for school?" He nodded and she continued "ok then, you did it great, just give mommy a minute ok?"

Olivia grabbed her phone and called Lucy. When she arrived at the apartment Olivia was already dressed for work in an all black outfit that suited her just perfectly.

"I'm so sorry Lucy, I overslept... can you take him to school today?. I'm really sorry for calling you this early" Olivia said grabbing her coat and purse.

"It's ok Olivia... it's not that early"

"Trust me I know... bye Noah love you... thanks Lucy"

"Love you mommy!"

Olivia rushed out of the apartment and made her way to the precinct. When she arrived everyone was there, coffees in hand and already full of paperwork.

"Morning Liv, did ya have a good night?" Asked Fin with a smile on his face.

"Shut up, sorry guys I overslept, I don't know why"

"It ok Liv, you work hard... maybe you should take some days, we'll be fine" said Amanda knowing how tired Olivia was.

"I'll think about it"

"Oh and Stone is in your office"

"Oh ok"

When she entered her office she saw Peter looking at the pictures of Noah she had. She closed the door and he turned around smiling at her.

"Hey, you are late" he got closer to her while she hang up her coat and purse.

"Yeah, sorry"

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine, what happened?" She sat down and looked at him, he had a look of worry on his eyes.

"Liv what's wrong?" He sat down on one of the chairs in front of her desk.

"I'm not sure about us"

"What?"

"Listen Peter, I've been trough this before. We just meet a couple of months ago and we already told Noah we are a family... a family Peter!. What if this doesn't work? What if..."

"Liv, I know it's early, I know this went fast, but I also know what I feel for you... I love you, you don't have to fear your feelings."

"I know is just... I don't want the story to repeat..."

"I don't know what's the story, but I know that I'm a different character in this story of yours, a character that will not disappear" he stood up and walked around the desk, he grabbed her hands and made her stood up with him. He got closer and gave her a kiss, letting her know he was there, and that his promise of not going anywhere would last.

They broke the kiss remembering where they were. They looked into each other's eyes and saw the fear, the passion, the thousand questions they had, but also they saw the love, a love that was brand new, but strong.

"So... what do you think about escaping from all of this for a little bit" Peter said holding her hands.

"What?... Peter we have work"

"Name a case"

"Well... we don't have any open cases but..."

"Then? Let's go Liv, when was the last time you escaped from reality, the last time you felt free"

Olivia let out a chuckle " I think I've never done anything like that"

"Then let's go"

"... where are you taking me?"

"Well the beach sounds good"

"The beach?... what would we do on the beach?"

"Well... we could spend some time together, the two of us" his hans rested on her hips waiting for an answer.

"My god I think I've never done this, ok ok let's go"

"Perfect then, let's go"

"You go first, just give me the address and I'll be there"

Hours later they were on the beach on their work closes on a week day, something that they definitely didn't planned.

Olivia was lying on top of Peter and he was embracing her, chin on her head, occasionally planting kisses.

"This is great" she said and let out a sight.

"Yeah... it is"

"Listen... I want you to know that I do want this to work between us, but I'm afraid... I feel like it's too soon, I just..."

"I know, but what I say that day... what we said of being a family, that can work, because we love each other... and it doesn't matter if we know each other for a couple of months, years or a lifetime, the only thing that matters it's what we feel"

"God, how is that you find all the right words to make me feel better?"

"What can I say I'm perfect"

"Haha, calm your ego"

"I love you Liv, I want this to work"

"I love you too Peter" sitting up and facing him she looked into his eyes "but you need to know me"
