All characters from Guiding Light do not belong to me. All the other characters do, however, so please leave them alone. This story is set in an alternate universe, where Natalia Rivera's history and timeline are greatly altered. Most of Olivia Spencer's history remain intact at this point.
I've decided not to worry too much about pre-Otalia plotline discrepancy as this is an AU after all.
19
Olivia was late meeting Gus and his sons but she had to make sure that Natalia was settled, comfortable and asleep before she would leave--although, she had a sneaking suspicion that Natalia had feigned sleep so that she would stop fussing over her. The thought made her smile. She found that she liked taking care of Natalia. As she hurried towards Gus, however, she carefully tucked those thoughts away. She wasn't sure what Gus would think about whatever this was between Natalia and herself and she did not want to jeopardise any chance of Natalia getting to know Raphael. In this case, it would pay to be prudent; she, for one, would never let anything or anyone get between Emma and herself.
"Olivia," Gus greeted her with a relaxed smile. He seemed to be enjoying his day out with his sons. "There must be a bug going around or something. Harley's under the weather too. Is Natalia okay?"
Olivia leaned in to give him a quick hug hello. "I'm sure she'll be all right after a few days. She really wanted to be here though. She was really looking forward to spending time with Raphael." She looked around for the boy and spotted him running after a frisbee. Returning her attention to Gus, she said, "I brought a camera. Do you think it'll be all right to take a few pictures of Raphael for Natalia?"
"Of course," Gus said, then paused, giving her an assessing look. After a time, he commented, "You seem to really care about her."
Olivia wasn't quite sure what to say to that and took a moment to frame her response. "She's a good person who's had a tough lot in life and... I do think she genuinely wants to be a part of Raphael's life," she said carefully.
Gus let out a breath and nodded. "Raphael seems to like her, which is a good start," he conceded. "I'm still reeling from what she told me. It's hard to reconcile the girl that I knew with the woman she is now." He gave Olivia a crooked smile and she found herself appreciating his boyish good looks. "And I have to say, you're different to the person I thought and heard you were... no offense."
Olivia bristled a little at that but found herself unable to fault him for his honesty. She had had so much history with the Spauldings, most of which weren't good. "None taken," she said finally, with a shrug.
"Shall we join in the game of frisbee?" Gus asked, already moving towards the boys.
"Sure," Olivia said, following Gus's lead, lamenting at Emma's absence once again.
It didn't take long before she saw that Gus was great with the boys. He was their father, older brother and best mate, all rolled into one. A part of her wondered if she'd have given Alan's request for her to seduce Gus more thought if she had seen this side of him. Like the other Spaulding men, he was charming and good looking. And, like Natalia had said during their little meeting at the Beacon, he seemed rather decent as well.
"Whoa, good throw!"
Olivia gave Zack a full-fledged smile at his off-hand compliment and pushed her aviator sunglasses up onto her head. She had to admit that she was surprised at the amount of fun she was having with the boys, who had warmed up to her quickly. "I think I'm gonna take a break," she called out.
"How about some lunch, guys?" Gus asked, looking around him. The enthusiastic response was instantaneous. "What about you, Olivia?" he asked, resting his gaze on her. "I packed a huge picnic basket."
Olivia thought about it and shook her head. "Sounds good but I think I'll pass. I might call it a day and go check on Natalia to see if she's okay. Thanks for a lovely time, though." She thought Gus and the boys looked a little disappointed at her decision and it warmed her. "Maybe we can do this again when Emma's back and Natalia's feeling better," she suggested.
"Great idea," Gus said before looking at his sons. "What do you guys think about that?" he asked, his gaze resting on Raphael, who looked like he was more interested in tackling Jude to the ground instead of listening to his father. "Settle down, guys. I'm talking to you. Jude. Raphael."
"Oh, how about some photo taking before we leave?" Olivia asked, suddenly remembering her camera. "Natalia would love to see some pictures of the fun we had today," she said to the boys. "She really wanted to be here."
The three boys shuffled their feet and began shoving each other playfully. "Stop grumbling, Rafe," Gus said goodnaturedly after rounding them up. "You always grumble the most but mysteriously appear in all the photos. It's like you like your photos taken or something crazy like that."
"I do not!" Raphael protested weakly, and Olivia caught him sneaking a peek at her. She snapped a candid shot of him, peered at it and began laughing at the image that she had captured. He immediately demanded to take a look at the picture and let out a small exclamation when Olivia backed away playfully.
"How about a group shot?" Gus asked, following Olivia and Raphael's antics with a patient smile.
"I think you should listen to your Dad, young man," Olivia said with mock sternness.
"But I wanna see the picture that you took," Raphael protested.
"Come on, buddy. Let's get on with it. I think your brothers are hungry," Gus said, waving them over.
Olivia ruffled Raphael's hair and showed him the candid shot. "I'll delete it if that's what you really want," she said, then added, "I think it's really cute, though." She smirked when she saw him grimace at the picture. He handed the camera back without deleting it, however. "I think I might enlarge it and put it up on my wall," she said, watching for his response.
"Ew!" He immediately reached for the camera again and Olivia laughed.
"Come on, Rafe! I'm hungry!" Zack yelled out for his brother.
"Give Natalia our best," Gus said after the group shots were taken. "Are you sure you don't wanna join us for lunch?"
Olivia nodded with a smile. "Next time." She felt the urge to see Natalia even though she had had a great time with the boys.
"All right then. Next time. It's good to see you, Olivia," Gus said, leaning over to give her a quick peck on her cheek, much to her surprise. "I'm glad you had fun." Dark eyes studied her features.
"Thanks for the invite," Olivia said, taking a step backwards. "Bye guys!" she called out to the boys, who were already stuffing their faces with sandwiches and cakes. The sight made her smile. She shared one last look with Gus before walking away.
Suddenly wanting to hear her daughter's voice, she fished out her cell after getting into her car and dialled Sam's number. She put the call on loudspeaker as she pulled out of the parking lot. "Hey Jellybean," she said warmly as she drove. "I miss you so much, baby. What do you think about coming home really soon...?"

Her suite was dimly lit when she returned. Olivia placed her bag on the couch and padded quietly to Emma's room and sought out Natalia's form on the bed. She jumped when a voice sounded behind her.
"How was your day?"
"Natalia," she said, turning around with a faint smile. "How're you feeling?" she asked, taking in Natalia's damp hair and robe cladded body. She was glad that Natalia had felt good enough to take a shower.
"Bit better after soaking in the tub," Natalia said ruefully as she neared Olivia. "How's Raphael?"
"Good. We missed you," she said softly, her heart skipping a beat when Natalia stopped in front of her, a tad closer than a normal friend would. She raised a hand to touch a cool, smooth cheek. "I'm glad you're feeling better. Are you hungry?" Her stomach flipped when Natalia closed the remaining distance between them, rested her damp head on her shoulder and slid her hands around her waist. She liked the way Natalia's hair smelled of her shampoo.
"Not really."
Natalia's small voice tugged at her heartstrings. Olivia let her eyes flutter shut briefly at their contact. "You have to eat something. How about I order up some soup for you?" she suggested. The knowledge that Natalia was naked under the robe heated her blood.
"Will you have something too?"
Food wasn't exactly what Olivia was hungering for but she nodded. "Of course. I'm starving," she said. "I took some pictures of Raphael. Come have a look at them while I order us something." She steered Natalia towards the couch and rummaged through her bag for her camera.
"I... thank you," Natalia said when she flipped through the pictures on Olivia's digital camera. "He's beautiful," she said wistfully with a hand around her throat.
"He's a great kid. We had a lot of fun. When you feel better, we can hang out together, with Emma," Olivia said after hanging up the phone with room service. She went to sit beside Natalia and leaned in to look at the camera screen.
"You're beautiful too."
Natalia's soft comment made Olivia's stomach flip again. She looked at the group shot that she had taken with Gus and the boys and smiled. "It's a good picture," she said modestly, then blushed lightly when Natalia's eyes found hers. "Stop doing that," she admonished Natalia softly.
"What?"
"Never mi -" Olivia stopped in mid-word when Natalia twined their fingers together and leaned in against her. She hummed softly in her throat, then let out a small sigh. "I like this... whatever this is," she declared honestly in a low tone. She felt a little queasy and her heart was tripping but she trudged on. "I like being around you."
She worried about the lack of response for a bit, then decided that she hadn't said those words for any kind of response. She just wanted Natalia to know what she felt. But of course, a positive response would be ideal...
Her train of thought was interrupted by the bell. But before she could untangle herself from Natalia, she found her face clasped between Natalia's hands. The chaste kiss on her lips sent a rush of warmth through her body.
"Sweet."
The word was soft, barely a whisper, uttered a breath away from her lips. "Sorry?" Olivia asked, slightly dazed and confused.
"Your lips."
Olivia's breath caught when Natalia touched a finger to her lips and her mouth went dry.
"You."
Natalia's eyes met hers, and Olivia's heart began tripping again.
"Sweet," Natalia said again before pulling away slowly and leaning back on the couch. "And I think you should get the door," she said in a normal tone of voice, dark eyes glinting mischeivously. "Don't want the food to get cold."
Olivia narrowed her eyes at Natalia's smirking face. "I can learn to not like you quite easily, you know."
"Sure you can," Natalia said lightly.
Olivia could feel Natalia's eyes on her as she made her way to the door and was glad that she had decided to squeeze into a tight pair of denim jeans that morning.
