Even if the doctors told Olivia that she and the babies were healthy, Olivia still took it easy and kept her pregnancy a secret from their family. She spent her days teaching Rosemarie and Madison their lessons, while also trying to teach Archie how to spell his name. It was relatively easy because all three kids were in good moods.

But even if they were excited about the twins and couldn't wait to tell everyone and start to really plan, Olivia was thinking about a person she never wanted to think about ever again. She didn't know if it was because she was pregnant and thinking about when she had been pregnant with the girls, or maybe she just missed her. But Alex was on Olivia's mind and she didn't know if she should go and talk to her or just ignore her thoughts.

"Hey, so can you watch the kids after work?" Olivia asked quietly, as she and her husband got around in the morning about 6 weeks after they found out about the twins. Olivia had started to show, and within the next few weeks, they would have to tell their family because it was going to get harder and harder to hide her bump.

"Where do you need to go tonight, love?" Trevor asked. Olivia sighed as she tied her robe above her stomach before turning on the light in the living room as they got to the bottom of the stairs.

"I have someone that I want to visit."

"A lover?" Trevor teased, but Olivia didn't find it funny. She turned on the light in the kitchen and moved to start making Trevor's coffee as he settled onto the barstool and let out a noisy yawn.

"Alex," Olivia spoke.

"Uh, what?" Trevor asked, as his eyes went wide.

"I want to go see Alex..." Olivia replied, as she turned around and leaned against the counter as she ran her hand over her stomach.

"No, Liv. You aren't going to see Alex. She tried to break us up. She kissed me and she is the reason that you lost the baby. We aren't going to discuss this anymore." Trevor spoke. He stood and moved to where his wife stood.

"My body couldn't carry that baby, Trevor. Even if stress was a huge cause, Alex didn't make me lose the baby... and she doesn't have anyone anymore. I think that I should at least take the first step and try to make things right."

"Why all of a sudden do you want to do this, Olivia? Because if it's your pregnancy brain, ignore it."

"I think it's because last time I was pregnant with twins, Alex was there. She was there when I had Rosemarie and Madison, and she was there the days following... she still means the world to me even if I don't mean anything to her anymore." Olivia whispered as tears welled in her eyes.

Trevor looked at his wife for a moment before drawing her close.

"I will take the day off. I don't have a lot going on anyway. So you can see her during the day, just in case something happens and someone needs to witness a fight or whatever."

"Thanks, Trevor... uh, I'm going to go wash my face..."

"Take your time. I'll make my calls and then maybe we should go back to bed..." Trevor grinned.

"I'm not having sex with you, Trevor. Maybe later depending on how angry I am."

Olivia got ready for the day before the kids got up. But once the kids were up, they settled down for breakfast before morning lessons. Olivia got those started, before passing off the home school duties to her husband for the day. She kissed her husband and kids goodbye before heading out to the address Elliot had found for Alex.

"Nicer than I thought it would be." Olivia breathed, as she pulled up to a building in Hell's Kitchen. She parked the van before grabbing her purse and phone before getting out and crossing the street quickly.

She walked over and looked at the call box before hitting Alex's name. Alex didn't respond, but Olivia wasn't going to give up. She turned and went to ask around for Alex, but didn't have to go far. She saw her ex best friend running down the sidewalk.

"Alex," Olivia spoke, as Alex came to stop when she realized that Olivia was the one talking.

"Uh, what are you doing here?" Alex breathed, her eyes wide as she took one of her earbuds out.

"I want to talk, Alex. We have a lot that we need to address."

"Like what? How you stole my family from me?" Alex huffed. Olivia let out a sigh from tight set lips before speaking.

"Do you ever miss me?" Olivia asked, and Alex laughed bitterly.

"Why would I miss the woman that stole my man?" Alex spat.

"You were all for us dating. You were one of the most excited people when I found out that I was pregnant with the girls. You were there when Trev and I got married. I don't understand why all of that just doesn't matter anymore."

"You are living the life that I deserve."

"Alex, can we just talk in private or something? Because people are staring." Olivia grumbled.

"Don't touch anything."

Upstairs in Alex's apartment, Olivia stood where Alex told her too as she held her stomach. Olivia knew that Alex had noticed, but she didn't say anything about it. But Olivia wish she would. Because at least when they fought, they were communicating. Silence sucked.

"Did you even lose the baby Trevor claimed you did?" Alex huffed.

"I did, Alex. But we did IVF and got pregnant again," Olivia spoke quietly.

"Well, you don't look great." Alex huffed.

"Uh-"

"You are fat, Olivia. I don't know why Trevor finds you attractive." Alex huffed.

"Alex, I'm pregnant with twins. You kinda get bigger when there are two humans in your stomach. And I don't know why you have to attack my appearance. If you want to fight, let's fight about what has been happening. Like how you left your son and husband behind. How you kissed my husband. I can give you a longer list." Olivia spoke, as her anger started to set in.

"Tanner and Tucker are none of your business, Olivia." Alex spat.

"Why did you leave them, Alex?" Olivia huffed.

"Olivia. It's. None. Of. Your. Business." Alex screamed.

"Was it because you knew you'd be a shitty mother?" Olivia screamed back.

"I'm an amazing mother!" Alex cried. Olivia eyed her as Alex brushed tears from her cheeks.

"Who are you a mother too?" Olivia breathed quietly.

"None of your business." Alex squeaked.

"Alex, do you have a kid?" Olivia breathed.

"Uh..."

"Where is the baby?" Olivia whispered. Alex sobbed as she led Olivia back to her bedroom. The whole baby thing wasn't really pissing Olivia off. It was more the fact Alex went for a run and left her child in the house alone.

Alex opened the bedroom door before pointing at the crib by the window. Olivia moved past Alex before going over and looking in to see a little girl.

"How old is she?"

"I had her a few weeks before you lost your baby... she's going on a year old."

"My god, Alex."

"Liv, I don't even know who her Dad is. And I'm hiding her from everyone because I'm scared that someone will take her away." Alex sniffled. Olivia reached into the crib and caressed the little girl's cheek before turning around and looking at Alex.

"Let me help you." Olivia breathed.

"What? I'm so mean to you."

"I don't care, Alex. Let me help you. But you have to promise me something."

"Anything," Alex whispered.

"Stop trying to steal my husband from me."
