Disclaimer: If I owned Fringe...Olivia would be on the right side and with Peter.
The next morning Peter woke to groans and painful cries, he sat up to find the bed empty and Olivia gone. He quickly pulled on his sweats and went in search of her, finding her on the bathroom floor hunched over in pain.
"Liv," he bent down next to her and she grunted, her face scrunching up in pain. "Liv, what is it?"
She shook her head and clutched his hand, Peter felt her hand squeeze his till it was white. She was in pain, the next scream made him very aware.
"Olivia," he turned her face to where her eyes met his, "I know its asking a lot but I need you to teleport us to Massive Dynamic…can you do that?"
She nodded and closed her eyes, instantly they disappeared and reappeared in his office at Massive Dynamic.
He looked around and quickly grabbed his phone, paging Mulara. "This is Peter Bishop, Agent Dunham is in extreme pain…I need Medical immediately."
Peter got dressed quickly and was thankful Olivia was in sweats and a shirt. Mulara arrived with a gurney and two nurses, she quickly bent down next to Olivia.
"Olivia, I need you to tell me where it hurts."
"My back and lower abdomen," she groaned in pain again and immediately Mulara looked at one of the nurses.
"Scanner." The nurse handed Mulara the scanner and she quickly scanned Olivia, shocked at what she found. "Oh my God, how the hell did the scan miss this."
"Miss what?" Peter bent down and Mulara handed him the pad that showed the results, "is that…"
Mulara nodded and looked at Olivia, "Olivia you're in labor, your baby is about to be delivered, you're feeling pressure and it looks as if you're ready to push. We're taking you straight to Medical to deliver the baby because we don't know its condition."
"I'm not pregnant, you said…"
"I know what I said and I never saw this on the scan we did, you should have been at least ten to twelve weeks, it should have been visible but it wasn't. I can't explain it but this baby is about to be delivered so we're going to take you to deliver." She looked at Peter and the nurses, "let's get her on the gurney."
They practically ran the gurney all the way to Medical and upon getting there, Olivia was stripped of clothes and immediately prepared for delivery. A nurse came over and looked at them.
"DNA shows no signs of mutation or abnormality, however the fetus's Cortexiphan levels are off the chart."
Olivia looked around and found Peter wasn't with her, "Peter…where's Peter?"
"Peter is outside, I asked him to wait until we delivered the baby…its best."
"No, I want Peter…please."
Mulara looked at the nurse, "get Mr. Bishop please." She looked at Olivia, "Olivia are you sure you want him here…as you've already made clear, it isn't his child."
She nodded, "I want him, he won't care."
The door opened and Peter quickly came in, rushing to Olivia and took her hand. "I'm here Liv."
"It's time, the head is crowning. You need to push Olivia."
"I can't."
"Yes you can, you can do anything 'Livia."
Olivia shook her head, "but its not your baby."
"Maybe not biologically but this is my son or daughter, our son or daughter." Peter nodded and looked at Olivia, squeezing her hand. "Come on 'Livia, push baby push."
She began to push and screamed as she did, Peter and Mulara continued to coach her through each round of pushing.
"That's it baby," Peter looked at her, "come on, its almost here." He looked down and saw the baby's head fully out. "Full head of hair, blonde hair. Come on Sweetheart, you can do this."
Olivia pushed for a fifth time and eventually a cry enveloped the room, Mulara held up a crying newborn. "Olivia, say hello to your son." She handed the baby over to Olivia and the agent took the newborn without hesitation.
Peter kissed Olivia's head and then kissed the baby's head, "he's beautiful 'Livia, like his mother."
"Do you want to cut the cord?" Mulara handed him the scissors, "since it seems you're now 'Dad' and it is tradition."
Peter took the scissors and cut the cord that connected mother and child, making them two people.
A/N: For all those wondering, yes it is Frank's child...and yes the baby did hide itself to keep Olivia out of danger. Despite all Olivia's drinking, the Cortexiphan protected the baby.
On my profile there is a link for a picture, it is what I imagine the baby would look like.
