Chapter 1

This fan fic, displays my point of view, concerning the characters of Olivia Pope and Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III, from the television drama Scandal. The story begins with Season 3 Episode 8, Vermont is for Lovers too. In this fan fic, I took certain liberties for the sake of the story I want to tell; so please keep that in mind. These characters belong exclusively to Shondaland Productions. However, I felt the concept could've been used differently, ergo this fan fic was born. As a heads up it is shorter than I want it to be for now. But I will be adding on to it occasionally, as the story comes to me; I hope you enjoy it and thanks for reading it!

Olivia awakes to the sound of tapping on glass and chirping birds. As she opens her eyes, initially the massive amount of sunshine in the room, makes it difficult for her eyes to adjust to her surroundings. She sits up to take in the beautiful architecture, and design of the living space. There are skylights and gorgeous walnut hardwood floors, throughout the house. She wonders is this moment real? Clearly it's not a dream; she is in awe of the moment and struggling to process what's happening.

Suddenly, the enormity of it all overwhelms her. She feels tears run down her face. She looks over at Fitz still sleeping, and she doesn't want to wake him; he looks so peaceful. But she can't get her tears under control; so she slips from under the covers, and puts on his United States Navy sweatshirt to cover herself, thinking she needs to move away from him, before she wakes him, unnecessarily.

She begins exploring the house, by going into the kitchen first. As he described earlier, there is a huge cook top island in the middle of the floor, with granite counter tops, and hand crafted stained glass windows, that dawn the rear of the house. Next is the den; which features a fireplace, and off from that room, is the laundry room and guest bathroom. Every room is tastefully and thoughtfully decorated; incorporating both of their styles wonderfully.

As she goes room to room her tears stop; she's getting a handle on the moment, and is ready to see more of the house. After thoroughly reviewing the main floor she goes upstairs, by passing back thru the family room, where her love still lays sleeping. Clearly he's tired from last night's performances, she thinks to herself. As she climbs the wooden staircase, she smiles while recalling his screams of innate pleasure, to end round 5 of their love session last night, before they both passed out.

Just thinking about him being inside her, sparks her arousal. For a moment, she considers waking him up in her special way. But her curiosity about the house gets the best of her, and she decides to finish looking at their new home, built as a surprise for her. As she reaches the top of the stairs, there are 6 doors to the left, and 4 to the right, as well as an open loft at the top of the landing. As she looks around, she thinks back on his words last night; when he said, "There are rooms for lots of kids." He obviously wasn't kidding.

As she goes into each bedroom; she notices they each feature natural woods, and pastel walls with beds; she also stumbles upon a conference room, and two offices. She smiles with delight; thinking he made them home office spaces. He thought of everything.

As she comes out of the office, and walks back into the main corridor, she looks down over the railing, and doesn't see him lying down anymore. Suddenly, she looks to the left, and sees him staring at her. "Hi" she says with a grin. "Hi" he replies, with a smile. He sees the joy in her eyes; but asks, "What do you think Liv?" She responds, "It's amazing Fitz I love it." She then walks over to him and they embrace.

He says, "Good, I am happy you like it. Have you seen the master bedroom yet?" She shakes her head and says, "No. Not yet." He takes her hand, and leads her down to the end of the hall, where these large double doors stand. The wood work is beautiful; there is so much natural light with the windows and skylights, it feels like the outdoors are inside.

Once they reach the master bedroom door; he looks down at her, and kisses her softly. He asks, "Are you ready Livy?" She smiles and says, "Yes." He opens the doors, and the view takes her breath away. The walls are light blue with Ivory trim. There is a Cherry Wood 4 poster bed, with sheer Ivory Chiffon draping over it. The bed is made up with French Vanilla sheets, and a mocha comforter, with a matching bed skirt. The windows are stained glass, except for the private balcony, with French doors.

There is a large fire place, and two huge his and her closets. She also notices the master bathroom, is equally amazing. The light mint green and white color scheme, gives it a relaxing spa feel, and boasts his and her showers, baths, sinks, and a sauna. While Liv runs around the room looking at every inch of it; Fitz enjoys hearing her scream and giggle with excitement and joy.

Now that he is 1 ½ years into his second term; it is time to finally put his plan into play. If she loves the house, wait until she hears the other good news, he thinks to himself. Once she takes in all the amenities in the room. She stands looking out the French doors; the view is spectacular. As he embraces her from behind; she folds into him. His strong arms and chest, always make her feel safe.
