Disclaimer: If I owned Fringe...Olivia would be on the right side and with Peter.

They had lunch out, a small bistro down the street from Massive Dynamic so they walked. Olivia walked beside Peter and midway he placed his arm around her shoulders, of which she leaned in.

They arrived and the waitress smiled, "table for two, patio or inside?"

Peter looked at Olivia, "which do you want…patio or inside?"

"Patio sounds nice."

They were lead outside and Peter pulled out Olivia's chair for her, pushing it in afterwards before sitting down. After ordering a bottle of wine, both looked at the menu.

Conversation was mainly about Rachel and Ella as well as Walter and cases while Olivia was away. "You're not serious?" Olivia laughed and Peter nodded, "that must have been awful."

"When he said 'silent but deadly' I didn't expect that." Peter chuckled, "but it came close."

Olivia laughed and put her wine glass down, "my last case in Fringe Division on the other side was saved because of one our earlier cases here."

Peter rubbed his hands together, "alright, this I have to hear."

"Alcott Case, our second."

Peter nodded, "the one where the woman had a baby in a few minutes and her son grew to old age in under a few hours. Yep, so tell me about it."

"Kidnapped kids, they were returned showing signs of old age inside their bodies. The killer was draining their pituitary gland to control his rapid aging."

"That's defiantly in line with our case, so how did you solve it?"

"I gave Lincoln the idea, of course he looked at me as if I was insane but when it came down to it, it was correct. I solved the key point, spoke to a remaining witness and saved the kidnapped child."

"Who's Lincoln?"

Olivia took a sip of her wine, "Lincoln Lee was my boss at Fringe Division, below Broyles…leader of the team I was on. It was me, Lincoln and Charlie…he's kind of like you except a lot more of a wise ass."

Peter laughed, "and here I thought you said I couldn't be beat in that department."

"Yeah, well he beats you." Olivia smiled and looked at him, "I have to use the ladies' room, be back in a moment."

She stood and Peter caught her arm, she looked at him and he pulled her down for a kiss. "Hurry back and don't fall in…if you get near water you might cross over."

"Shut up, pay the bill so we can get going." She smirked and left him to the table.

While she was away, Peter pulled out his wallet to pay when a hand patted his back and a man sat across from him. Peter chuckled, "Carlos, it is good to see you my friend."

"And you Peter, I didn't expect you to come to my wife's restaurant however. The thought of you being back in New York…Big Eddie is still after you isn't he?"

Peter shook his head, "no those were paid off when I joined my new job, let's just say they were desperate enough to have me that they paid off all my debts with Big Eddie and made him aware not to mess with me."

"I like the sound of that, who are you working for…could you get me in?"

"I highly doubt it," Peter's phone rang from a text and he looked at it to see it was Astrid about Walter. "Give me a moment." He dialed the phone, "yeah Astrid? No we're having lunch…tell him we'll see him at the lab…yeah the one at Harvard. Does he know about Olivia? Good, I'd like to keep it that way…for now. See you when we get there, bye." He hung up and looked at Carlos.

"Who's Olivia?"

"My wife, excuse me but I have to go." Peter picked up the check from the table and left. Olivia met him at the patio entrance and Peter pulled her into a kiss, walking out with his arm around her.

Carlos caught up and looked at the man taking the ticket, "no, its on the house."

"Carlos, man seriously…" Peter looked at him, "she just got back from a two month long trip, allow me to treat her without having old ties come in the way."

Carlos looked at Olivia and chuckled, "you are a fortunate woman, he's never been devoted to a single woman before and yet here you are."

"The gun keeps him in line."

"Gun?"

Peter chuckled, "didn't I mention, Olivia's FBI…could have sworn I mentioned that." He looked at her as her phone rang. "Let me guess, Broyles?"

"I'll be right back." She smiled and left outside the entrance, beginning to talk.

"FBI?" Carlos looked at Peter, "you married into the FBI?"

Peter shrugged, "on technicality, I am the FBI…I'm a long term consultant. Olivia's team needed me and they wouldn't take no for an answer, she practically drug me out of Iraq at gunpoint and then we began working together…along the way I just fell in love."

Olivia came back in, "yes sir, I'll let him know." She hung up, "we have a case in New Hampshire and Broyles wants to know if we can meet him there. Walter and Astrid are already on the chopper heading that way."

"That's a six hour trip, we'll just use one of the Massive Dynamic choppers, call Broyles and tell him we'll be sooner then he expected. I'll call Nina and let her know we'll be taking one of the choppers." He chuckled, "just a day back and you're already on call…remind me to ask Broyles what the policy is for when you die."

Olivia looked at Carlos, "we have to go, thank you for lunch."

"Yeah, you two go do what you do."

They found Nina waiting at the Massive Dynamic entrance, she had a bag in hand. "This is for you Olivia." She handed the agent the bag and Olivia found two suits folded nicely as well as regular clothing. "I figured you hadn't gotten any clothes from your apartment as you were only in Boston for a few hours and she was still there."

"Thank you Nina."

Nina handed Peter a key, "Helen, our pilot, is waiting for you on the helipad. She's been instructed to take you wherever you need to go."

"I'll have it back before long."

Nina waved him off, "we have a dozen more, just use it as a second for Fringe Division. It's already been labeled FD-2 to match the one you already have."

A/N: Freaky mystery, hotel issues (Astrid, Walter, Olivia and Peter all have to share one room) and Olivia's abilities come to light as their case wears on and at the end, we find out what Walternate did to her while she was held prisoner...which changes her life.

Note: What Walternate did has to do with the legendary First People and a prophecy although we don't find out till later on, when Olivia and Peter find out.
