Disclaimer: If I owned Fringe...Olivia would be on the right side and with Peter.
The next morning Peter woke to a hand shaking his shoulders, he opened his eyes to find Astrid.
"What?"
"Olivia's gone, she wasn't here when I woke up this morning and I checked the entire suite before the hotel. She's just gone, you don't think she crossed over do you?"
Peter turned over and found the spot where Olivia had been empty, covers up and not pushed back.
He was frantic in dressing, quickly and efficiently, Astrid said she's watch Walter while he looked for Olivia. He called her cell and it rang, finally going to voice mail.
He was thankful the Navigator had a GPS tracker, he found her at the local diner. She sat with a cup of coffee staring at it. Sliding into the booth, Peter watched as her head rose so their eyes met.
"I worried you didn't I?"
Peter nodded, "you worried everyone, well everyone but Walter…I've kept him blind to the fact you weren't here…he loves you and I think it would have caused a break down if he knew." He took her hand in his, "Astrid said you were gone and the bed looked as if you had just disappeared so I freaked. Olivia I can't loose you again."
"I had a nightmare and I became so afraid that when I woke up, I was in the woods. I don't know how I got there but my first thought was that I crossed over again. I walked back to the hotel only to find you all still asleep so I got dressed and came here."
"Your keycard was still by the table."
Olivia shrugged, "I just touched the door and it unlocked," she looked at Peter, "what is happening to me?"
Peter moved from the booth to sit beside her, he put his arms around her and kissed her head. "I have an idea but it would be too much to handle."
She snorted, "too much to handle?" Olivia stared at him, "being a prisoner to your father, tests and experiments on me. Given another's memories without permission, told to live their life and betraying those I care about most…I think I can handle about anything."
"Your abilities are emerging…you showed telekinesis the other day when your alternate was taken down. Broyles said you threw her into a wall with just a flick of your hand. Now you're showing teleportation and technokinesis."
"Why now, why not when I was over there?"
Peter shrugged, "maybe you were subconsciously aware that if they emerged that you'd become a target."
"Target maybe but at least I'd be home, with those abilities I could have come home already."
"You are home now, that's all that matters." He kissed her head, "we'll get through this baby, I promise."
Olivia smiled slightly at the term of endearment he gave her but she missed the term he used just to piss her off. It once would have pissed her off but now she wanted to hear it. "I think the other term fits better," she looked at Peter, "John called me 'baby' and when I was her, her fiancé called me 'babe' so stick to Sweetheart."
"Sweetheart it is." He kissed her head and smiled, "let me buy you breakfast."
A/N: Together they can get through anything...although soon enough Olivia comes face to face with something personal that she kicks Peter away in the process.
