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

Peter walked to his lab and sat down, calling Rachel first as she would be the easiest to deal with considering he had to contact Broyles, Walter and Astrid.

"Hello?" Rachel's voice greeted him and Peter smiled.

"Rachel, its Peter…Liv and I are in New York. We just got a surprise of a lifetime, I wanted to let you know that you have a nephew."

Rachel gasped, "are you saying you adopted a little boy?"

"You know that show 'I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant' that you watch, well your sister could be in an episode. She's been pregnant this entire time but it looks like the baby is healthy despite all the alcohol…no damage was done, he's perfect."

Silence came before a scream, Peter pulled the phone away. "When are you three coming back to Boston? I have to see him, how big was he? What does he look like? What is his name?"

"We're coming back as soon as Olivia and the baby are cleared and you can see him then. He was eight pounds, seven ounces and twenty inches long. He looks like Olivia and we decided to name him after your family: Dunham Charlie Bishop."

"Dunham Charlie Bishop…who's insane idea was that, your's or hers?"

Peter laughed, "it was mine and Olivia liked it, so that's his name. I hope you'll let Ella know she has a little cousin now."

"I'm getting off the phone to go do that, I'll see you when you get back."

Peter hung up and chuckled, Rachel had taken it better then he had expected but then he had expected her to get excited. He dialed Broyles next as he was the second easiest to deal with.

"Broyles?"

"Broyles, its Peter Bishop. Olivia and I are at Massive Dynamic, she went into labor this morning."

Silence then a question, "did you just say 'labor' Bishop?"

"Yeah, like childbirth. Apparently the baby is Cortexiphan positive and thought that hiding itself would help protect Olivia. He's fine though, big and very healthy for his age."

A chuckle from Broyles came, "get back to your family Bishop, I'll come by to see the newest member to our team as soon as I get time. Tell Dunham that she is to rest, tell her it is an order."

"I will."

He hung up and dialed Astrid's number, knowing she was the best one to talk to next and could calm Walter. "Astrid its Peter."

"Hey, you're late coming back…when are you getting back?"

"I have a very good reason, have you ever seen that show 'I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant' that is about women who didn't know they were pregnant and never looked pregnant…think Olivia."

"Oh my God, when is the baby due?"

Peter chuckled, "he's perfect, eight pounds and seven ounces. He's with Olivia at the moment and I was hoping you could calm Walter down before I tell him…he still thinks that the alternate was Olivia and doesn't know that the baby isn't biologically mine."

"Oh Peter I'm sorry…are you okay with it?"

"He's perfect, everything Olivia and I want…as far as I'm concerned, he's my son. Olivia and I decided on the name Dunham Charlie Bishop…he has both our names but defiantly my surname."

"I'll calm Walter down, just make sure Olivia and the baby are alright before you come."

Peter made his way back down to Medical and found Olivia nursing their son, he was feeding ravenously. "Everyone but Walter says hello and come back to show off the baby as soon as you can and Broyles told me to tell you something." Olivia looked at him, "he wanted me to let you know that he's ordering you to gets some rest."

Olivia just chuckled and looked at Dunham, he was still nursing. "I think for once I can rest for a while."

"Good, because you need it." Peter kissed her head and touched his son's cheek, smiling as he did.

They never expected a baby because of what his biological father did but in that Peter knew that blood didn't really matter…it didn't matter that Dunham wasn't his biological son because just like he loved Walter, he loved his son more.

Walter wasn't his father but in the end, he was the better of the two because he loved Olivia like a daughter and vowed never to hurt her…again. Blood didn't matter and neither did DNA, Dunham was his son…his and Olivia's and if anyone tried to say differently, he'd probably strangle them.

He vowed to be the father Dunham needed because it would take a very big miracle for them to have another child. Dunham was his only shot at fatherhood, at least with Olivia and he didn't want anyone else, and he wouldn't screw it up.

He'd be there for midnight feedings, diapers, walking, running, baseball…everything his son wanted to do, he'd find a way to do it. He would be there when his son's first girlfriend broke up with him and then he'd be there to offer advice when he wanted to propose to his future wife and even stand beside him the day he got married.

PTA, school games, field trips, graduations…even college, nothing would be missed out on. He'd just calmly look at Broyles and say he had something with his son and that he couldn't work on the case. Peter knew Olivia would be the bread winner of their family, she loved the FBI and he'd never take that from her. Then again, as CEO of Massive Dynamic, Peter was set for life with his monthly payments that were in the six digit area.

"Get some rest," Peter kissed Olivia's head again and she nodded, looking down at Dunham.

The sight was just too much, Peter had to force himself to leave because the sight of Olivia holding their son made him want to stay and stare.

A/N: Next we are four years in the future...we finally find out about what happened to Alt-Livia and we discover she has changed, a full turn around.
