Disclaimer: If I owned Fringe...Olivia would be on the right side and with Peter.
Olivia wanted to see Massive Dynamic and Peter showed her everything, even handing over a key card…a different one then her alternate had.
"And this is my lab," they entered his lab and Olivia looked around, "its not much."
It had a platform in the middle of the room, used as a table while bulletin boards held drawings and equations as well as passages from what seemed like a book. The Vacuum's blueprints were hung up as well, notes on them.
Moving to the small desk, she found the computer was off but beside the screen was a frame, inside a photo taken not long before Jacksonville…when they were utterly happy. He was holding her, her trying to keep something away from him and both were laughing.
Placing it down, she noticed a calendar and found several spaces of the month filled with her name and an event. In two days time there was a concert he was supposed to have taken her alternate to.
"Can we go?" She looked at him as he made his way over to her, "I mean you planned on…"
Peter nodded, "we can go…at least that way I don't waste the tickets." He placed his hand on her back and watched as she picked up the picture again. "My favorite moment, I realized how much you meant to me at that moment."
Olivia put the picture down and looked around more, she found a bathroom with a shower off to the side. She turned and looked at him, "I like it."
"It's not much but it works, its more an office then a lab but…science needs a lab." He walked over to her, "now Walter's lab…they had to go in and build a stall for Gene, he's yet to put the poor cow in it."
Olivia touched his shoulder, "why didn't you let them heal it?"
"I want a reminder of the biggest mistake I've ever made, that will do it. It also allows me to know how much YOU mean to me when I see it in the future…what I failed to protect."
She blushed slightly and looked down, Peter chuckled and pulled her chin up. He leaned down and kissed her. Olivia took a step forward and leaned up, deepening the kiss. She pulled back and looked at him. "You don't have to protect me."
"Yes I do," he placed a hand on her cheek, "because you're my future…without you I have nothing. Not now but in ten years we'll be looking back and wondering how this mess even matters when we have screaming kids wanting our attention while Walter is cooking something insanely dangerous in the kitchen and the phone ringing with Broyles saying we have some weird mystery to solve all while trying to plan a second honeymoon."
Olivia managed to laugh at the scene he created, it was the very definition of chaos but it seemed about right. It seemed something to worth towards, a future no matter how chaotic. "Sounds idyllic."
"Chaotic."
"Perfect." She looked up at him, "assuming you believe I'll still be with you in the future."
"I do," he smiled, "I belong with you and even if you shoot me, which in technicality you have, I'll still keep coming back."
A/N: One of these days Peter she will shoot you, as for the little dream...I think we can all see that occurring. They wouldn't be the Bishop Family without insanity and the freaky mystery.
