AN: Does CNN even have specials? anyway,This is terribly short but I wrote it a while back so here goes.

She had gotten home late, later than usual. She smiled when she saw him sprawled on the couch. She figured he stayed up to wait for her. She contemplated waking him up but decided against it. She instead headed upstairs to take a quick shower and came right back down wearing one of his T-shirts. She moved the small table from the middle of the room and joined the other couch with the one Fitz was laying on. She climbed it quickly and pulled a blanket on top of them before kissing him lightly and falling asleep.

His hand was comfortable underneath her shirt, cupping her breast. She smiled when she opened her eyes to see him still soundly asleep. Even in his sleep

he couldn't keep his hands off her. She tried getting up but she felt him stir.

"Good morning." She looked down where his hand was on her breast. "Where you dreaming of me?" She couldn't help the smile on her face and neither could he.

"Sorry, I guess my hand got cold." He moved closer to her and allowed his other hand to cup her other breast. "This one is cold too." He smirked.

She bit her lip to fight a moan that was threatening to escape. "Why were you sleeping down here anyway?"

"At first I was watching the CNN Special on presidential legacies and then I fell asleep... And when I woke up from that nap I noticed it was almost time for you to be home so I decided to wait for you but I guess I fell asleep again."

"Sorry, Serena finally utilized her vacation days and they have me working all her cases on top of mine... I lost track of time." She kissed the top of his nose.

"You were out there working like a dog while I stayed home watching CNN specials..." His face lowered and Mellie could feel the sadness in his voice.

If there was one thing Mellie wasn't a fan of was self pity. "Don't you dare!" She lightly slapped his arm causing one his hands to quickly retrieve itself from inside her shirt. Mellie grabbed that hand again and guided it back to it's previous location.

"Ouch what was that for?"

"Stop with the pity party. You chose politics. You're good at politics. Going to all these meetings with your father and meeting people all day might seem fruitless and even boring but that's what you chose. That is all part of your training. You need to make connections. You can't sit here moping around every time I have a few extra hours of work. I am not overworking myself and you are not less of a man because I work later than you." Her voice got softer. "Honey, I am doing what I love. I chose to be a lawyer and I just made partner and you knew coming home later would be part of the package."

"I know and I am incredibly proud of you." He kissed the top of her head. "I just wished I was getting somewhere. It feels like all I do is talk endlessly about my years serving my country, my father's legacy and what I hope to do In the future. I don't want to talk about what I wanna do in the future! I wanna do them!" His finger subconsciously traced circles on her nipples and he noticed her struggle to remain focused on what he was saying.

Mellie noticed he stopped talking. "I'm listening... But maybe you should keep you hands to yourself for a bit." He did as he was told and instead hugged her closer.

"I'm sure you'll get to do things very soon. Politics takes patience. You can't run for governor right now, so you'll have to wait but Fitz when you do run, you will be amazing."

She was his biggest supporter and he couldn't help but smile into her hair. "You really think so?"

"Of course I do! I went to school with you; You're bright. Above all I married you, you have a kind heart, a genuine heart and people will love that about you, I sure do."

"Don't go to work today. I like when you're home." There was no way she could be closer to him but he tried to snuggle closer anyway.

She looked at the clock. "I can stay until 10. That leaves you two hours."

"Two hours for what?"

"For whatever you want as long as that involves a shower and breakfast." She looked at his suggestive smirk and spoke up again. "By breakfast I mean actual breakfast with real food." She laughed upon seeing his little pout.

"Fair enough. We can start by showering together." He sit up and pushed her couch away from his and Carried her to the bathroom.
