Ava hugged her mother tightly at the baggage carousel. "Not that I'm complaining, but, what are you doing here again Mom?"

Emma spoke up, "We're on an adventure. Daddy's even going to meet us here when his..."

She glanced up at Olivia, who finished the thought, "When I told him we were going on a trip, Phillip said that he'd fly out when his... business in Springfield concluded."

Ava didn't quite believe her ears, "Really? Mom, are you okay? You just... left Springfield? And, and, every-thing?"

The group of women left the airport, Emma between the two adults. Olivia plastered a smile on her face, "Hey, can't I want to spend time with my daughters, at the same time even?"

Ava wasn't convinced, she glanced down at Emma and back to Olivia, "Are you sure you're okay?"

Olivia lightly tapped her chest, "The heart's workin' like a charm. Pumping blood to all extremities and back. C'mon, let's get out of here. Somewhere quieter."

"Uh, my apartment. You and Emma can stay, as long as you..." She trailed off, trying to decide on her word choice, "...need?"

"Thank you Ava."

Natalia stared at Justus, "Repeat that again. She's just... gone?"

Justus nodded, Natalia didn't scare him like Olivia did, instead, the boss's assistant had an underlying 'don't mess with me' vibe that Justus made sure he never crossed. "Yes, ma'am. She said that you are in charge until further notice."

"Me?"

"Yes Ms. Rivera... Natalia. Now if..."

Natalia nodded, "Yeah, yes, of course, back to work you go." She stood there. Confused. Things had been getting better she thought. They were being clear with one another and... then Olivia just up and disappeared. No one knew where she was, or if they did, they weren't telling her.

Natalia was so engrossed in her thoughts when she turned, she managed to slam right into Frank Cooper. The Detective caught her and set her back upright. She frowned. He'd come to Company the previous night. Rafe had been so happy to see him, and for the first time in what felt like weeks, Frank had seemed happy too. Now he didn't look too happy, if she didn't think it was crazy, she'd say that he looked guilty. "Uh, Frank, what can I do for you? Do you need something?"

"Olivia, is she here? I need to see her."

Natalia frowned, "Ah, no, no I guess she... she left Springfield. I guess a... a vacation with Emma or something. Is it anything I can help you with?"

Frank slowly shook his head, "I... no, no. Do you know when she'll be back?"

Natalia also shook her head, "This, this isn't like her Frank."

"Maybe... maybe she just needs time."

Natalia sighed, "No, no, she knows what she wants. She always has, she's gone slowly for me. I don't understand this."

Frank nodded and turned to go when Natalia spoke again, "Oh, and Rafe wanted to invite you over for dinner tonight. It'll be Tuna Noodle."

Frank turned back slowly, "Are you sure?"

Natalia smiled, "Of course Frank. You two are priceless together." She chuckled as her phone rang, "Grape wars..." She shook her head, still smiling, "Hello, Natalia Rivera."

Frank frowned as Natalia walked off. Olivia had been right. Natalia was putting her son first, no matter the consequences to herself, or her burgeoning relationship with Olivia.
