Olivia Pope woke up with a headache. A really bad one. She tried to remember anything, something but she came up empty. The only thing she was certain of was that her name was Olivia Pope and that she was 30 years old.
'Where am I? Oh my gosh, am I dead?' She thought.
Ever so slowly she sat up and realised that she was in a hospital room. She looked around the room and saw no one but she did see a clock that read exactly 7:00 am.
'Wow, I never wake up this early unless I have to go to work.' She suddenly remembered.
Although she didn't know what day it was or exactly where she was, Olivia stayed calm and decided that she needed to rest. Hoping that she would remember more when she woke up again.

Approximately 9:00 am a doctor walked through the door just as Olivia was waking up.
"Good morning Miss Pope, I am Dr. Shepherd. How are you feeling?" The doctor said.
"Good morning doctor, I have a headache and I can't seem to remember much." Olivia replied.
"Okay well we shall have to take some more tests but on previous examination, it seemed that you came in with a concussion. Do you remember what happened?"
"No doctor. Do you think I'll be able to remember?"
"It is unclear as to why you have lost your memory but maybe with time it will come back. I will order for you to have some more tests and scans done and then I will analyse them and come back later."
"Thank you Dr. Shepherd." Olivia said as he smiled and walked out of the room.
About 10 minutes later, another man walked into the hospital room. He was good looking but he also looked very tired. She had a feeling that she should know who this man was but of course she couldn't remember anything.
"Hi, you're finally awake." The man said.
"Hello, yes I just woke up." She replied.
"I just spoke to Dr. Shepherd and he said that you couldn't remember anything."
"No, I'm sorry I only remember my name and age."
"It's okay. My name is Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III or Fitz for short. I am your fiancé and we have been together since we were 21 years old."
"Wow, really?"
"Really. I love you and we'll make it through this, okay." Fitz said as he walked over, sat by her side, took both her hands and kissed them.
"Okay." She smiled, slightly tearing up as she looked at his handsome tired face.

They spent most of the day talking, cuddling and watching TV. Even though he was basically a stranger, Olivia felt like she already knew him and trusted him.
"So, that is how we met." Fitz said as he laughed.
"Wow, well I guess I'm not very good at time keeping." Olivia chuckled.
Fitz was explaining how she was running late for a class and bumped into him, making him fall onto the floor. Ever since then they were inseparable. A little while later, Fitz then told her about finding her unconscious at the bottom of the stairs in their home. She could tell he was still shaken up.
"Hey, I'm okay." She said cupping his face.
"I know baby." He said placing a kiss on her forehead.
Dr. Shepherd came back to the room a little while later with the results.
"Miss Pope, Mr Grant, the results are inconclusive. I am keeping you here for overnight observation just to see if anything changes and tomorrow morning you will be discharged. I recommend that you look through some photos, videos and go to memorable places to try and jog the memory. Get any family and friends involved as well. Make sure you rest and eat well, I also recommend that you come back and see me at least once a month." He calmly said.
"Thank you Dr. Shepherd." Olivia and Fitz both said as he left the room.
"Well at least we have a TV in the room." She said smiling, trying to make light of the situation.
Again they spent most of the day talking, cuddling and watching TV. Fitz stayed as long as he could but eventually had to leave due to visiting hours.
"Goodnight." She said giving him a long hug.
"Goodnight, I love you, I'll be back in the morning." He said placing a kiss on her forehead as he left.

The next morning, she woke up and no memories seemed to come back. She was then discharged and Fitz came back to the hospital to take her home.
"Welcome home." Fitz said as they arrived at a large modern suburban house.
The area didn't have much houses near by. The house had a tall front gate with a long drive way.
"Wow, this place looks expensive. What do we do for a living again?" She said.
Fitz chuckled at her. "We own an architect firm."

As recommend they looked through photos and videos while Fitz told her the stories of them. They went to memorable places such as where they had their first date and where he proposed. They also hung out with family and friends and went back to see Dr. Shepherd a few times.
Although, not much of her memories came back to her. Fitz was very patient with her, he was loving and charming. Olivia could see why she fell in love with him.
Over the course of 6 months, her life returned back to schedule. She fell more in love with Fitz each day. Although she was still not very good at time keeping, she seemed to actually forget that she lost most of her memory.
After a long day working at their architect firm. They were getting ready to go to sleep.
"Goodnight, sweet baby, I love you." Fitz said as he wrapped his arms around her in their bed.
Olivia sat up all of a sudden with a gasp and said "I remember."
