After the take down, Peter returned to Olivia's room to find her asleep and Elizabeth reading the news on the screen of the TV. Walking over, Peter leaned down and kissed Olivia's head, pushing her hair back.

"She's strong," he looked over at his mother, who smiled. "determined...I never thought I would see you find someone."

Peter sat down on the small couch that was in the room beside his mother, "when I met her, she was trying to save another man's life...another lover. I didn't even want to be there at the time but Olivia's good...she blackmailed me." He chuckled, "something about her made me stay, I don't know if it was the insanity around me or the fact that I never really had a life till her."

"Peter," Elizabeth placed a hand on his arm, "you're life with Olivia is just starting out and trust me when I say in five years these past few months won't even come to mind. Is the say 'what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger' the same over here?"

"Yeah and I know what you mean," Peter looked over at Olivia, "when I thought she was still over there...something inside me died."

"Peter..." Olivia's head turned side to side in her sleep, Peter got up and went to her.

"I'm here Liv," he sat down and she opened her eyes, smiling at him. "Hey, how are you feeling?"

"Better," she touched his arm and sighed, "so she can't hurt us anymore?"

Peter shook his head, "no she can't, but that doesn't matter...she doesn't matter. All that matters is you getting better, so you can get back out there and kick shape shifter ass...so we can be together."

Olivia smiled, "we are together, I have something to tell you."

"And that's my queue to leave." Elizabeth smiled and left, "I'll be back in a few minutes."

The door closed behind Elizabeth and Peter looked at Olivia, "so what's so secretive that my mother leaves the room?"

"You saw Lucy didn't you, a little girl..."

Peter chuckled and nodded, "yeah shoulder length blonde hair and big blue eyes...magnetic smile, she lights up the room with that smile. Why...who is Lucy?"

"I'm pregnant." Olivia looked at him, "specifically twelve weeks pregnant."

He looked at her and then chuckled, his head did the math quickly as always. "So our little rendezvous..."

"Wasn't so innocent as we thought."

Peter laughed and shook his head, "no I clearly remember it, nothing about it was innocent. So, is Lucy our daughter?"

"Yes, Lucy is our daughter but you also have a son, twins."

"Twins?" He smiled and looked at her, "so you have named the girl but not the boy?" She looked at him and he chuckled, "so what did you name him?"

"Dunham, he looks like my father...has all the Dunham traits except your nose."

Peter let his hand slide to her belly, "how do you see them?"

"That's why your father wanted them...they're unique in two ways." Her hand rested over his and her eyes stared at him with worry. "They're born of two worlds and they're Cortexiphan positive, they project the images not me. They haven't been born and already displaying abilities beyond comprehension."

Peter nodded and looked at her, "he's dead, he can't hurt them and as for them being Cortexiphan positive...Liv you're positive too. Once they're born, we'll be able to teach them right from wrong, what abilities are acceptable and what aren't." He placed a hand on her face, "and I will make sure no one uses them for their abilities."

"Peter...they deflected a energy pulse around me and your mother, it folded around us and hit a wall instead. I'm scared about how powerful they'll be...the brain is just starting to develop..."

"Hey, we'll do this like everything else...with time. Besides, I have a feeling that Lucy and Dunham Bishop will be just like their mother...smart and strong, knowing right from wrong."

"How can you be so sure?"

He chuckled and kissed her, pulling back to smile. "Because I know you and I know me and they're part of us...nothing is going to happen that we can't handle. Besides, my mother is right about one thing."

She smiled, "what?"

"In five years, these past few months won't even come to mind. We'll be trying to get two four year olds into bed but instead of yells and screams, we'll be deflecting abilities. Doesn't sound so bad once you think about it..."

"Lucy told me something and its true...the past has occurred, the present is balanced and the future is set."

Peter nodded, "the future is set, at least my future is. It involves you and two troubling kids...maybe more down the road. When you told me those four words over there, everything was set with you: marriage, kids, occasional freaky mission and everything in between."

Olivia chuckled, "how can you be so sure?"

"Because I love you Olivia Dunham and as of right now, you're one of three women I love but you're at the top."

She pulled him down by his collar, "three?"

"You, Lucy and my mother." He kissed her and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I love you too Peter Bishop."

A/N: Sweet but they both understand what is ahead.
