Olivia went home a few days after her biopsy. She was still sore, but she was taking things easy at work and at home. They weren't telling the kids about what happened, and their excuse for the girls was that Olivia was working super long shifts and just had worn herself down.

"Your scar is healing nicely," Trevor spoke, as he and his wife got ready about a month after the surgery.

"Yeah, but I hate my scar. But I can get over that because I don't have cancer and we can fully start trying for a baby." Olivia smiled. She reached across her husband to grab her brush, but he stopped her and wrapped his arms around her body.

"What are you doing? I have work in 20 minutes." Olivia spoke.

"I just want to hold you, baby. Because I'm so thankful for you." Trevor smiled, before pressing a gentle kiss to the back of Olivia's head.

"Don't make me cry, Trev... because Felix is already asking about why I had missed a week earlier," Olivia replied.

"Aren't you going to tell him? I don't think he'll tell the girls." Trevor spoke, as Olivia moved from his arms and started to tie her hair back.

"He and my two girls are very close. He's their Uncle Felix and they talk at least once a week. If not more often than that. So I think that if I told him, they'd all somehow find out. And I don't want that."

On the way to work, Olivia got cut off while she was drinking her coffee, and she spilled it all over her shirt. So the first thing she did when she arrived at the garage was to change her stained shirt and into a different one.

"Hey!" Felix smiled, coming into the locker room. His smile faded when he saw as Olivia quickly tugged a shirt on to prevent him from seeing the scar on her stomach.

"Don't you knock?" Olivia huffed.

"No, because I've seen you half-dressed before. When did you get that?" Felix asked as he walked over and tugged the bottom of Olivia's shirt up. He looked at the scar, and Olivia frowned as she pulled it back down.

"It's nothing."

"Did Trevor do that to you?" Felix asked, and Olivia quickly shook her head.

"No, Felix! Trevor would never do that to me. I had to get a mass removed from my liver... this is just from that." Olivia spoke. Felix looked at her with wide eyes.

"What? You had a tumor?" He whispered.

"It was nothing. They tested it and I don't have cancer. I was just worn down and not feeling great, so I thought I was pregnant. I wasn't but the mass changed me a bit. It made me feel sick, but once it was removed I've been feeling better. So everything is okay. Trevor and I got the all-clear yesterday and we can start trying for a baby again."

"Do you have to do some follow-up tests or anything?" Felix asked.

"Once a year I need to go in and get another scan. They want to make sure that if it grows back, they can remove it before it does any more damage. But I'm fine, Felix."

"Are you sure?" Felix asked, and Olivia smiled and nodded.

"Better than I have been in a while. Just... you can't tell the girls. They don't know, and I don't want them to know. We don't want to scare them, especially since if they lost me, they wouldn't have a mother at all." Olivia breathed. Felix nodded slowly before tugging his friend into a hug.

"I just wish you would have told me sooner."

Just like her usual shifts, Olivia dealt with a bunch of people who overdosed, people who were disorderly and drunk. Most of those drunks just needed a trip to the ER for a banana bag and some rest. Maybe some blood tests to make sure that they didn't have alcohol poisoning.

She went home, and the girls and Trevor were all eating dinner and laughing about something. It was like music to Olivia's ears because a year before there was nothing but screaming and fighting all the time. Now that was rare and laughing was more of a common thing.

"Momma!" Ainsley cried when Olivia walked into the kitchen after showering and changing.

"Hey, pumpkin. How was school?" Olivia asked, as she walked over and hugged her daughter tightly, before pressing a kiss to her curls that were pulled back today.

"Good. Daddy said that tomorrow night he's going to let me watch Adalee at practice!" Ainsley exclaimed, as Olivia moved to Adalee and then to Ember. She hugged both girls and kissed the top of their heads before sinking down beside her husband.

"You can go to hockey practice, Ains, but you will need to do your homework," Trevor spoke, and Ainsley groaned before crossing her arms over her chest.

"But I don't wan-"

"Hey, I just had a long day at work, Ainsley. So would you mind if we didn't fight about this right now?" Olivia asked, and Ainsley nodded slowly before picking her spoon back up to continue eating.

"Can I ask you something, Liv?" Ember asked as Olivia served herself up before leaning back in her chair.

"You can ask me anything, Em." Olivia smiled softly.

"Well, Adalee and I were wondering if Ainsley was going to be the baby forever," Ember spoke, and Olivia blushed a bit as Trevor chuckled.

"Do you want her to be the baby forever?" Olivia questioned, and Ember and Adalee exchanged a glance before they shook their heads.

"We want another sister or maybe change it up a bit with a brother," Ember replied. Olivia looked at her husband and he gave her a small nod.

"Give us a little bit of time and we will gather you all up when we find out if I'm pregnant or not," Olivia replied. She never did think that Ember would want a sibling that was half Olivia.

"Tomorrow?" Adalee asked, and Olivia shook her head.

"Probably not tomorrow. But maybe in a month or so. Just be patient."
