"I wonder what he'll be like when he finds out he's having a grandchild."Not even having been born the day after her father's birthday gave Olivia a chance to develop a relationship with him. From the few times she interacted with her father, it had been clear to Liv from where she'd inherited some of her traits: determination and seriousness. The one interaction she remembered clearly was when she expressed her desire to get plastic surgery to fix her nose. Her father had given her a disappointed look and talked to her about how she should appreciate her beautiful looks, how the right man would value what she thought were her flaws and to always maintain a healthy lifestyle. Though he was almost always expressionless and emotionless, the only times she'd seen him show cracks of emotion was when any of her siblings had gotten themselves in trouble or had disappointed him. She hoped that the news of being a grandfather for the first time finally made him fully show some kind of pleasant emotion.

"My mother? If I were to describe her in a movie title, it would no doubt be Frozen. That woman is The Ice Queen! *singsong voice* The cold never bothered her anyway."Because her mother had birthed her in a moment that was crucial to TriV, Olivia's care had been shifted to the numerous nannies the Carringtons had once the maternity period was over, hence why she never really had a relationship with her. The times that Olivia did see Cassiopeia, she was always on her best behavior and careful not to attract attention to herself, intimidated by her icy, blunt personality. Olivia looked up to the woman as one would a role model. She found her mother a strong, cunning, intelligent and independent woman; traits that she wanted to have (and succeeded in having) when she was older. Not that she would tell her mother that, of course. The similarities between mother and daughter can be seen in their deeply-rooted love for perfection.

"I never really knew her."Samantha was 17 when Liv was born, and since she left the family home for college and never returned Liv didn't even know her besides the family photos in her parents' house, their constant warning that she should never be like her, and the stories told by her older siblings.

"The first man in my life to show me how a woman should be treated."Gabriel was the closest thing Olivia had to a father figure. Always big, strong, and caring, he would usually chastise their other siblings whenever they teased her and console her with a big hug; never short on affection for her. Her favorite memories of him were when he taught her how to ride the shiny pink bike she'd gotten for her sixth birthday and how he would read her a bedtime story every night. Olivia's first broken heart came when Gabe left for college. She currently keeps contact with Agent Gabriel Carrington through Facebook, and loves to boast about him being her older brother. She is proud of all he has accomplished.

"Dear old Danny... If my mother is the Ice Queen, there is no doubt he's the Ice Prince."Olivia doesn't have any much memories about Daniel, because after his eleventh birthday (Liv was only three) he was always 'too busy' to bother spending time with his younger siblings. What Liv does remember is how he would brush them off when invited to play, shaking his head at them as if they were ignorant children taking up moments of his precious time with a plain, cold, bordering on arrogant personality even from those younger years, so similar to that of their mother's."

"He's one of the few in the family with a soul and a warm, beating heart."Olivia's second favorite brother was Rowan, and he was the one to take care of her after Gabe had left. He absolutely spoiled her, always listened to what she had to say, protected her and had a way to make her feel better when everything seemed to be going badly. Her second heartbreak was when he left for college (
'Why do you guys keep leaving me?! she'd cried as a child), but he always remained in contact, was present in both her high school and college graduations and constantly visited her even after she moved to NYC. Though at one point his visits stopped, they always kept constant contact via letters (the old fashion way).

"My darling Tatia! That gorgeous woman is defined in one word: TALENT."Tatiana was a blessing in Liv's life. In Liv's eyes, Tatia is graceful, beautiful, one of the few family jewels. Having been raised among brothers, it felt good to have a fellow girl in which she could confine things the boys wouldn't understand. Her favorite memories of Tatia are when she would be dragging to her older sister's ballet practice, how Liv was unable to control her giggles when Tatia made faces at her while she danced (often getting reprimanded by her ballet teacher), and how magical it was to watch her onstage. Their tight bond was broken with the arrival of Marisol, and this is why she hasn't really had much contact with Tatiana apart from the cards she sends on important days.

"Ave is a sweetheart. He has this magical ability to turn a single piece of paper into works of art that is simply mesmerizing."Avery was only one year younger than Olivia, so they spent quite some time together along with Oliver, being the youngest three siblings in the Carrington household for a few years. Ave had always been quiet and reserved even as a child, but he began to keep more to himself as he grew up, but he found a way to let his actions speak for him. Liv still fondly remembers how he would read his writings to them, how he would make the most beautiful drawings for her (which is why her bedroom's walls were always full of taped-on drawings), and how sad she was when he stopped sharing his stuff with them. In the present, Liv sends him cards on important dates, and bought some of his stunning paintings to decorate her apartment and the baby's nursery.

"I'm sorry, who? No, I'm not related to her."Olivia had always been resentful of Mari from the day she was brought to the Carrington home. After her arrival, Olivia's spotlight for being the youngest Carrington girl had been stolen along with the attention of her older siblings, and that's what made her begin to close herself off from the others. They had constant arguments, which only made her dislike for her grow with the years, but the breaking point was the day Mari ran away. Olivia'd had the most important day in her high school career: winning nationals as captain of the Senior Varsity Volleyball team and being recruited by UPenn. But the only one present to share the victories with her was her twin, because everyone else was too busy worrying about Marisol. That day, Olivia decided to cut Mari from her life, and denies knowing her when asked about it. It's the one person of her family she does not want to see.

"We're like a Ying-Yang: opposites that compliment each other."Olivia and Charlie's personalities were like night and day, but they complemented each other greatly. Before and whenever Mari wasn't around, Olivia was always there to spoil him, play with him and even nag at him the way a mother would do. As he grew up, she always tried to dress him up in the latest trends and get him out of his shell more, but he only complied to make her happy. She still remembers the day the nanny placed him in her arms, all sweet and tiny and cute (he'd always remained cute): and she had proclaimed with a chest puffed up with pride
'I will be the best big sister ever!'. It was hard for her to leave him behind, but she knew he'd be okay with Mari.

"If I have a boy that looks just like him, I'm going to be in big trouble!" "When I was in the process of getting my master's degree, I attended a work party and was instantly attracted to what I thought to be the most handsome man in the party. His smile, his laugh, the way he carried himself so confidently... He had an inexplicable charm that got me the way no other man had done before. Upon introduction, I find out that he is none other than Richard Davis, C.E.O. of Davis Enterprises. We talked, had a few drinks, and laugh at the fact that we come from such similar backgrounds. It seemed the attraction was mutual, because it wasn't long before we were tangled between the sheets of his bed that same night. After hooking up a few times, we decided to put a label on things: an open relationship, seeing as neither of us were ready to settle down or get involved on anything serious. I mean, everything about Rich fascinated me, but I knew what a piece of work that man is. It really wasn't the type of man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. But they say life throws curve balls when you least expect it, and after six months and a particular escapade that was different from the rest, I found myself staring at a positive pregnancy test. God... I was afraid, panicking and so nervous about my future. But the one thing that was always clear in her mind was that I would keep the baby no matter what happened. After I got the definite confirmation with the blood test and my doctor, I gathered up the courage to shared the news with Rich. Honestly, knowing the way he is, I was half-expecting him to walk out, and fully prepared if he did so. To my huge surprise, he took responsibility! It wasn't just my baby anymore, it was our baby. Knowing his position and my last name, we had to act fast if we wanted to avoid any situations with the tabloids. So, we decided to move in together to a luxurious apartment in Manhattan. Living together has actually made me start to have feelings for him beyond the physical attraction. Pregnancy hormones, maybe? But right now, I'm just waiting for him to decide what the hell is our current relationship status. One would think that with me being pregnant and us sharing an apartment it would be considered an exclusive relationship, right? But it seems darling Richie can't keep himself to one woman. What I do know is that if he doesn't make up his mind soon, I'll be raising my child as a single mother."
