Ten minutes later Olivia opened her eyes and they stared, Peter smiled. Old words graced her mouth, "Einai kalytero anthropo apo ton patera toy." It was then that she sat up screaming, Peter noticed his mother back up as if scared and Nina covered her mouth in surprise and horror.
Peter walked over and looked at Olivia, she was breathing hard. "Liv, baby look at me." She looked at him and he smiled, "do you remember your name?"
"Olivia Dunham."
"Good, what year is it?"
She shook her head, "2010, Peter..." Her eyes looked haunted and scared, he'd know those eyes anywhere and in any universe.
He looked at Nina, "its her...you can call a doctor if you want but they'll just tell you she did something medically impossible."
Nina left to get a doctor and Olivia immediately let her hands drift to her belly, wondering if her son and daughter were still there. Peter noticed, "were you hurt?" He touched her gown to move it and her hand caught his. "Liv...Sweetheart?" He looked at her, "what happened?"
"He saw Lucy." It was all Elizabeth said and Olivia relaxed, letting his hand go and he slowly helped her lay back.
Olivia knew her daughter was stronger of the two, Dunham was shy already and didn't care to show himself unless he really felt bold. The fact Lucy had appeared meant they had made it.
"Liv, baby what happened?" He looked at her and she stared at him, her mind caught images and thoughts...one caught her eye and her breathe hitched. She saw him...and her alternate in her bedroom. Then she caught a thought, embedded deep in that image, that he had felt disgusted afterwards and had quickly showered before dressing and leaving her apartment. Peter had known the difference and it made him hate himself...for loosing her on the other side, for leaving her behind.
She shook her head, she didn't want him to hate himself or feel guilty. "No, don't Peter." She gripped his arm, "don't feel guilty, you didn't know."
He shook his head and sat on her bed, "what are you talking about?"
She took his hand and held it, tears in her eyes. "I know what its like too." She forced her memory of being with Frank on him, of hating herself once knowing the difference...the knowledge of betrayal and without even knowing. The images and thoughts immediately met his brain and he knew and understood her.
He looked at her and nodded, pulling her into his arms. Olivia for the first time began to cry, holding onto him. Peter shook his head and pulled back, wiping her eyes. "Guess we know we both got betrayed...by ourselves and everyone."
"Not everyone, just your father...he did all this, he made me believe I was her. He made her pretend to be me but he can't do anything anymore."
"As much as I never thought I'd say this, I'll probably kill my own father the moment I see him again, if I do."
Elizabeth put a hand on Peter's shoulder, "Olivia already did so, he threatened me and her so she had no choice."
Peter looked at Olivia and noticed her worried expression, he placed a hand on her cheek and shook his head. "All I can say is you saved me from having to do it myself."
Olivia smiled and a knock made them look over, Nina had a doctor with her. "Dr. Mason Valley, Olivia Dunham." Nina watched Peter stand and take up a protective stance by Olivia's bed as the doctor walked over. "I've informed Dr. Valley that if Olivia is harmed in any way or anything is done to upset her or you," she looked at Peter, "he'll be out of a job with no recommendations."
"Good, Peter Bishop." Peter looked at Valley, "this woman...treat her like royalty." Peter looked at Olivia and smiled, "I'm going to go finish up what I was doing...I'll be back though."
She nodded and accepted the kiss he gave her, "hurry back."
"Mom..." Peter looked at Elizabeth and she waved him on.
"I'll stay with her, go on Peter...we have time to talk later."
A/N: So Olivia made it, Lucy said hello to her father without giving anything away...but what about Alt-Livia?
