A/N: Sorry this took so long. I was a little thrown off by the new episodes and wasn't so sure what to write anymore, but here it is!. Two chapters left after this one so I hope you enjoy.

5 Years Later

Peter walked through the door with Olive at his side. She quickly dropped her backpack by the door and ran towards her playroom.

"You have to do your homework before dinner," Peter yelled after her. She came back with a pout and dragged her backpack with her to the playroom.

Peter smiled after her as he turned and walked into the kitchen to see Olivia standing there expectantly. She was smiling hugely and tapping something against the heel of her hand.

"What?" Peter asked suspiciously with a smile.

Olivia kept smiling and raised her eyebrows with a shrug the way she does when you know she wants to say, 'see, I told you so.'

Peter's eyes dropped to the object in her hands, "What is that?" He reached down to take it from her and she didn't stop him. Peter looked down at it and saw a little pink plus. He looked back at Olivia and she was smiling more than he'd ever seen her smile when sober, "You're serious?"

"Yeah, I'm pregnant," Olivia laughed.

Peter threw the test on the counter and hugged Olivia. After the moment of excitement was over, Peter took a step back and kissed Olivia gently.

"I guess we really should make this official now," Peter said, grasping Olivia's left hand and holding up so that her engagement ring glittered in the afternoon light.

"I never really thought marriage was your thing," Olivia smiled just a little, "It wasn't all that long ago that you told me you'd rather get the hell out of Boston and go back to conning people in Iraq."

"Oh yeah, it was only almost eight years ago now," he said sarcastically, kissing her.

"Do you guys have to do that all the time?" Olive complained. They both turned to look at her with a smile. She was five years old, but she was already in 2nd grade, having skipped out of kindergarten in the first week and out of first in the first 3 months. By the end of the first quarter of the school year she was in the second grade with all talented and gifted courses. It was just last week that Peter and Olivia had had to lecture her on not stealing the answers out of her teacher's head on tests.

Peter and Olivia took Olive out to dinner that night and told her about her new little sibling. She was excited, but her parents could tell she wasn't completely happy that she wouldn't be the center of attention. Peter and Olivia had tried to nip her attitude in the butt, but with Walter and Astrid tending to spoil her and her recent experiences in school were only fueling it.

Even without holes to the other universe, fringe events of other natures were still common. They often only had a week or two without a case. After Olive turned four, Astrid started bringing her to the federal building, which turned out to be quite useful. She would sit in the viewing room while Olivia interviewed her suspects and often come out with more answers from their thoughts than the FBI would get if Peter went into the room and tortured them.

For the first time in both Olivia and Peter's lives, everything made sense. Everything fit…

3 ½ Months Later

Peter and Olivia sat in one of the exam rooms at Massive Dynamic, devastated. Olivia sobbed and continually pushed Peter away, commanding him to leave. As usual, unwilling to let anyone help her.

Olivia had miscarried shortly into her second trimester. She hadn't felt so much pain, physical or emotional, since she came back from the other side. Olivia was so scared that at times she would even see Olive or Peter begin to glimmer and it only terrified her more, reminded her what the world around her looked like when it was slipping away as she was pulled back to the other side.

A week later Olivia left without telling anyone. She simply left a note on the kitchen counter for Peter to find when he came home.

Peter,

I know this is sudden, but I need to get out. I need to get away. Your going to want to find me, but I beg you not to. I need to do this on my own. I need to figure out everything for myself and deal with things that I've been putting off for years and haven't realized it. Things I've been burying heavily since Olive came to us. I know your confused, and I know you'll want answers, but I can't give them to you, and I probably still wont be able to talk about it when I get back.

Please take Olive to New York to see Nina. Ask her about the video that Olivia gave me. I think its time you saw it. And for your peace of mind, the video with tell you where I am, but please don't come after me. I will come home. Just give me some time.

Olivia

Peter read the note several times before it fully registered to him. What am I going to tell Olive? He thought…
