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

At the end of the case, Olivia and Peter sat in his lab finishing their paperwork. Even after everything, they were at ease with each other, actually telling jokes and laughing…being a couple without looking back.

"So, how about dinner tonight?" Peter watched as she closed her file, meaning she had just closed the case. "Anywhere you want to go."

Olivia looked at him and was about to speak when Dr. Mulara knocked on the door. "Sorry to interrupt, I need to talk with Agent Dunham for a few moments."

Peter nodded, "I'll go let Astrid know I need her to watch Walter tonight." He kissed her head and was about to leave but Olivia grabbed his hand.

"Whatever you have to say, you can say in front of Peter."

Mulara nodded and walked over, laying her pad down. "Agent Broyles requested that we give you a full exam and we did however what we found was…disturbing, especially when we looked back at your medical records."

"What did you find?"

"I have good news and then devastating news." She took a breathe and eyed them both, "which do you want first?"

Olivia nodded, "the bad."

"When you had your last physical it showed you had both your ovaries…now you have only one and its not in any shape to ovulate. Your chances of having children in the future is one in…a very large number."

Olivia felt as if her heart had been ripped from her, that would have been less painful in the end. Her future as a mother was ripped away from her, Peter's dream of having a family and her ability to give him a family was torn away.

Peter pulled her into his arms and she began to cry, he wanted to murder his biological father. When Olivia had told him what he had done, he had wanted to hurt the guy but now…after he had stolen their future as parents…he wanted nothing more then to murder the man.

Kissing Olivia's head, he looked at Mulara. "Was it deliberate?"

"Without a doubt, whoever did this did not want Agent Dunham to have children."

Olivia regained herself and turned to Mulara, "what was the other news?"

"There's a one in ten chance we can reverse what was done but its unlikely it would even have any affect…it would be a long shot. Agent Dunham, I can honestly say that you'll probably never have children."

She nodded and was silent, Mulara left and Peter placed a hand on Olivia' back…she shrugged it off. "Don't touch me."

"Liv…"

She shook her head, "just do us both a favor and find someone else…I can't be who you need."

Peter watched Olivia leave with the file she had prepared, he wanted to tell her that what Mulara had told them didn't matter but he knew her so well, she'd push him away in the end. He'd give a few days to calm down before he'd speak to her.

A/N: Uh oh, trouble in paradise. Don't worry, Peter isn't going to give up...he's going to push till he gets her back.
