A/n:So this is it, the epilogue, I hope ya'll enjoyed this story. This is set about four months after the last chapter, and is basically a short Bolivia fluff scene to end the story,there is a little angst tied in,cause I wouldn't be me if there wasn't,but nothing heavy, I promise all in all its mostly fluff. Also because I started this story from the events in season 1 episode "ability" nothing that happened afterword in the show,including the first season finale and the episodes so far in season two will have relevance to this story, with the exception of a few minor details. One last thing, I'm doing a Fringe Halloween challenge and have posted a story entitled "Stolen Halloween" its gonna be a short fic,but it involves a case, Halloween and of course Bolivia, so please check it out and let me know what you think, well on to the epilogue, enjoy.

Thanks to : Tamira Vasiliev and wjobsessed for reviewing the previous chapter, and for those who've added this story to any of their alerts and all those who have reviewed whether from the beginning or just the earlier chapters, I appreciate it.


Epilogue

4 Months Later

Peter awoke shuddering. He could feel cold sweat beads running down his face and on his chest and torso. He couldn't remember what he was dreaming about. All he knew, was that whatever it was terrified him. He turned to his left, where Olivia lay sleeping. He gently moved a tendril of hair, that was covering her right eye, away from her face. He then got up and headed to the kitchen for a glass of water. Though he didn't remember the dream, he knew that, that same dream had been haunting him every night for two weeks now.

He and Olivia had gotten closer and closer over the past four months,while continuing to work on cases related to the pattern. They'd been pretty busy for the past couple weeks, so this was the first night, in awhile, that they were spending together at Olivia's apartment. Rather than working late at Walter's lab or at Walter and Peter's new place, with Walter hovering around.

Peter turned on the light in the kitchen,grabbed a cup from the cabinet, and a gallon of water from the fridge. He filled the glass and when he turned around, he nearly dropped the glass.

"Jeez,Liv, you scared me!" Peter said when he saw Olivia standing in front of him.

"Sorry...I woke up and didn't see you. Nightmares?" She asked walking over to him.

"Yeah..." Peter said.

"You ok?" Olivia asked.

"I'm always ok, when I'm with you sweetheart." Peter said with a smirk, wrapping his arm around her, and pulling her closer to him.

"That's very sweet,but you're trying to change the subject."Olivia said.

"Am not..." Peter said avoiding her eye's.

"Peter...talk to me." Olivia said reaching up and placing her hand on his face, pulling his face to look at hers.

"I'm ok,really,Liv ." Peter said sincerely,leaning down and kissing her gently on the lips.

"Well...I think we should go back to bed then..." Olivia said seeing he wasn't quite ready to talk.

" Why, Agent Dunham,I think that's a great idea." Peter said kissing her again then taking her hand and leading her back to the bedroom.

Once back in the bedroom,Peter continued to kiss her, removing her tank top, while she had her arms wrapped around his neck deepening the kiss. When she was down to just her panties and bra, they moved onto the bed. Peter moved away from her mouth and gently kissed her neck as she moved her hands through his hair. They then proceeded to make love.

An hour later Olivia lay on the bed with her head resting on Peter's chest and her arm wrapped around his waist. Peter lay flat on his back , his arm ran across her back,holding her close to him as they cuddled warm and content in the others embrace. Peter gently stroked her hair as they lay there, neither saying a word,until Olivia suddenly spoke.

"Peter..." Olivia said lifting her head from his bare chest and looking up at Peter.

"Yeah,babe?" Peter said sitting up and giving her his full attention.

"There's something I want to say to you..." Olivia began.

"I'm all ears." Peter said with a smirk.

"I'm serious,Peter..." Olivia said slightly annoyed.

"I know sweetheart...I'm listening." Peter said gently running his hand up and down her arm.

"This isn't easy for me...talking about my feelings,so bare with me,ok?" Olivia said clearly nervous.

"Take as much time as you need sweetheart." Peter said giving her a reassuring smile .

Ok, here it goes,when I'm with you...things always seem better, you make me laugh, you drive me crazy with your stubbornness. You support, and you challenge me. I never thought I'd feel this way about anyone again, especially after what happened with John and everything with the pattern..." Olivia said temporarily flashing back to everything that happened with John Scott.

'' You're safe with me.'' Peter said taking her hand in his and squeezing it.

''You can also be very sweet...when you want to be.'' Olivia said with a smirk.

''Hey...''

'' And I trust you, to have my back and with my life...and I think it's time I trust you with my full heart... I guess what I'm trying to say ... is that, I love you Peter. I never thought I'd feel this way again, but I fell in love with you and I can honestly say that I trust you with my heart, and I hope you never break it.'' Olivia said, saying all that she needed to say.

She watched for his reaction, a little afraid when he took a few seconds to have one. Peter leaned forward and kissed Olivia passionately,then broke the kiss.

'' I love you too,Olivia. You can trust me with your heart,because you've held mine since our first kiss four months ago. And I would be an absolute idiot and a fool, to even think about breaking yours.'' Peter said then kissed her again.

They broke the kiss a few minutes later and resumed their cuddling position. Though they couldn't get any closer physically. The bond between the agent, and the FBI civilian liaison was even stronger then it had been an hour prior.

It had taken awhile ,with trials and tribulations ,ups and downs and losses, in the all around abnormal world of the pattern,that she'd been unwillingly dragged into. But Olivia had also gained so much, she'd gained family through Walter and Astrid,as well as reconnecting with her younger sibling. She'd gained a sort of mentor through Broyles and a stronger friendship and partnership with Charlie. And lastly she'd gained the ability to love again,through Peter Bishop, her friend, confidant and lover.


A/n: So that's it, I hope Olivia wasn't too OOC in the last part, thanks again for reading and don't forget to check out my Halloween challenge fic"Stolen Halloween" and tell me what you think, if you haven't already. As for any other fringe fics, I have no current ones planned because I need to focus on school,but I may write one during winter break,thanks again, hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed writing this.
