So I started this once again, after a really long pause.
I will check over all the earlier chapters once again, because there are a whole lot of mistakes in them. Also I rewrote the end of chapter 9 because the end sucked massively plus it didn't even fit into the entire story. First saying in one chapter this and then that…that's just stupid of myself and I'm sorry. Hope you can forgive me^^
Another thing I have to admit is that I don't think that I'll be able to upload this story in constant periods of time, because I'm working on a really big story together with one of my friends. So please don't hate me, I beg you. :D
Please leave reviews or alert or favo this story. Everything will make me insanely happy.^^
Now just continue on and read…
Olivia was torn out of her dreams by somebody sitting on top of her. The weight of the person wasn't all too bad but still, it was there.
"Aunt Liv, why is Peter on our couch?", a sweet little voice got carried over to Olivia, still half asleep and not entirely getting what little Ella was talking about.
"Sweetie, what's up? I didn't quite get it." Olivia was now looking at Ella pushing herself up and putting her weight on her elbows.
"Peter is lying on our couch. Why?" Ella was crossing her arms in front of her chest, her face once again really serious. But Olivia still didn't quite know what she was talking about. Peter? In her apartment? On the couch? But suddenly everything came crashing back at Olivia when she realized what had happened yesterday, or probably today really early. That statement made Olivia look over at the alarm clock on her nightstand.10.48. Oh, shit. Not good. Olivia almost wanted to jump out of her bed, but already the all to sudden movement of head made her head pound. Oh, yeah, she had also been drinking last night. What exactly hadn't they done?
"Aunt Liv, why is Peter on the couch?" Ella was still looking at her waiting for an answer. Her little face still the serious mask from before.
"Well, Ella. Peter and I were out last night and it got really late you know, so he just crashed her for the night. You don't mind do you?" Olivia was smiling at her little niece and her expression instantly softened.
"No, I don't I was just wondering." She put her little arms around Olivia's neck and hugged her that way. When the little girl had pulled back she was smiling at Olivia.
"I'll go and get up. It's already really late. Usually you came earlier and wake me up now I've overslept." Olivia smiled at Ella but suddenly she got al serious again.
"I'm not your alarm clock aunt Liv." But after she had finished her statement the tiny grin once again was spread all over her cute little face.
"Okay, I'll better remember to set mine then.", Olivia said as she sat up and reached for the drawer of her nightstand and fished her aspirin out of it. Ella sat next to her and observed her every movement.
"Is your mom already awake, baby girl?" Ella stared shaking her head.
"No, still sleeping just as Finn. It was actually pretty boring." She smiled up at Olivia and then pulled her up from the bed and out of the bedroom. They came through the living room where Peter was still sleeping peacefully and Ella didn't stop till they reached the kitchen.
"I know you can't cook, but I'm so hungry aunt Liv. Can't you make me something? Please?" Ella's eyes were huge and really cute so Olivia once again started smiling.
"Okay. I can try. What do you want, sweetie." She lifted Ella up from the floor and sat her down on the counter top. Rachel always told Ella that she shouldn't sit up there, because that was where she was preparing the food, but Olivia didn't mind. She didn't use her kitchen anyway. Well, at least when Rachel wasn't there cooking stuff for her and Ella.
"Scrambled eggs, please?" That should be something I could do, Olivia thought to herself and started looking for eggs in the fridge. After finally finding some she put a pan on the stove and prepared the eggs. But before putting the eggs into the pan she prepared the coffee machine. After the coffee making was in its progress, the eggs came into the pan and after a few minutes Olivia really had managed some scrambled eggs for Ella and fresh coffee for herself.
Ella, still sitting on the counter top with a plate of eggs in front of her was smiling like the sun as she ate the first fork full of them.
"Aunt Liv, this tastes really good. You see it's not hopeless." Olivia stared smiling her hands around a fresh mug of coffee and leaning against the counter next to Ella. In that very moment Olivia once again had the feeling that her live had gone back to normal, before the entire Massive Dynamic case, but just in that moment a very sleepy looking Peter came stumbling into the kitchen.
"Look aunt Liv, Peter's finally awake.", Ella called out as soon as he was in sight and Olivia couldn't hide the smile that was starting to spread over her face as she saw Peter. His hair was sticking up from his head in all possible directions and his beautiful eyes were clouded with sleep. The shirt he had been wearing was all wrinkly and he just looked really good actually, not that Olivia would have admitted that to anyone, because this was somehow still work.
"Good morning, Peter. Some coffee?" And by the word coffee the little spark started spreading in Peter's eyes.
"Good morning to you two. And definitely yes to the coffee." He smiled at them and came a little closer leaning against the opposite counter.
"Do you feel better? I was really worried last night. And I had no idea what to do. I'm really sorry I didn't do anything else to help you." Olivia's smile tried to be as apologetic as possible but Peter just kept that smile on his face he had been wearing the entire time Olivia knew him.
"No, I feel just fine today and it's perfectly okay that you didn't do anything else. Even Walter and Bell didn't know what to do the first time after I did that and they are scientists. Don't blame anything that happened yesterday on you just because you didn't know what to do, okay?" A little sigh escaped Olivia by hearing Peter was fine once again. She had been worrying herself to sickness last night. Him clutching his head in pain and she had been just sitting there, driving way to fast through the streets that were almost completely deserted just to get Peter to her apartment. But after a glass of water and a pill Olivia had handed him, Peter had passed out on her couch, leaving her still worried in the much to quite apartment. Olivia had been lying in her bed, worrying about Peter till she herself had drifted off to a restless sleep.
"Okay, I'll get ready and change. It's late and I need to head to the law firm to talk to Jack." With that Olivia put her mug into the sink and turned to leave.
"What time is it?" Peter asked from behind and Olivia turned around once again.
"A little after eleven." The words were just barely out of her mouth when Peter instantly started running in her direction.
"Shot. Ahhh. This is not good. F…", but Olivia's glare at Peter made him stop before the word was out of his mouth.
"Not around Ella, please." Peter nodded but was running back into the living room putting on his shoes and grabbing his jacket.
"I was supposed to be at work at eight." Peter was looking around obviously searching for something.
"Have you see my keys?" Olivia raised a bundle of keys from the coffee table that Peter basically had overlooked.
"I'm sorry I have to leave so rapidly, but I think there are already three people wanting to rip my head off at Massive Dynamic. I'm sorry." He smiled at Olivia before he rushed out of the door but not before saying a `I'll see you around´. Olivia looked after Peter and the now closing door. She laughed out shortly when she imagined Peter storming into Massive Dynamic, wearing all wrinkly clothes and his hair still sticking up in all directions.
Olivia shook her head and headed for the bathroom. Just a little later she was standing outside, titling her head skywards and let the sun shine down on her. Feeling the warmth of the sun on her skin she started her start into a new day still smiling.
