Chapter 1: Good Morning

A small smile appeared on Olivia's face as she opened her eyes. She loved waking up in the morning with Jake's body close to hers. His chest was pressed firmly against her back while his arm rested comfortably around her waist. She always felt safe and loved when she was with him. It's been a year and a half since she chose to be with Jake and she never regretted her decision. There was never a reason to because he was who she wanted and needed.

Olivia turned over so she can be face to face with him. Part of her felt bad that she needed to wake him up since he was sleeping peacefully. But they couldn't stay in bed all day because she had things to do before going into work. Although being in bed with him for the rest of day was very tempting. She lifted her hand to Jake's face and began to slowly rub her finger tips across his bottom lip. There was an instant urge to kiss him so Olivia leaned in and kiss him gently.

"Jake," she said softly.

But there was no response from him.

She thought for a few seconds about what else she could do to get his attention. That's when she ran her fingers down his down chest, past his abs, and stopped when she reached his waist line. Olivia slipped her index finger into his boxer briefs before moving it back and forth across his skin.

"Time to wake up Jake," she whispered in his ear.

This time Olivia did get a response. It just wasn't in the form she was looking for.

Jake turned onto his back and slid one arm under the pillow his head was resting on. He was nowhere near sleeping anymore. He was half awake when he felt Olivia's lips against his and when her fingers made their way down his body. When he heard her whisper in his ear he became fully awake. The thought of saying something crossed his mind but curiosity got the best of him. Jake wondered what she was willing to do get him up so he continued with his fake sleeping.

Olivia climbed on top of him and smirked to herself, knowing what she was going to do next. She had a strong feeling that he was not asleep so she decided to play along with his little game. Kisses were slowly left from the spot below his earlobe to the crook of his neck. She continued to leave kisses down his body the further she disappeared under the covers.

"Olivia, what are you doing?" he said, thoroughly enjoying the personal attention she decided to show him this morning.

"Shhhh." She purposely made sure not to say anything more than that because she didn't want any distractions. She stopped when she reached the top of boxers and pulled it off quickly.

Within seconds, Jake felt Olivia's hand wrap around his member and it was met with the warmth of her mouth. He let out a long moan like he always did when she went down on him. The more she pleased him with her mouth the more he got aroused. The urge of wanting to feel himself inside of her was also increasing by the second. He was doing a great job at fighting the urge until Olivia started to use her tongue. She took her tongue and circled the tip of his member a few times before letting it slide back into her mouth. It wasn't long before Jake interrupted her.

"Come here Olivia."

Olivia made her way back up until she was face to face with him again. She locked eyes with his before giving him a seductive smile. Jake quickly took off the silk nighty and panties she still wore. He then ran his hand up the back of her neck and pulled her into a passionate kiss. He wanted to kiss her like this since he woke this morning. Olivia moaned into his mouth when his other hand began to massage her breast. He lowered his head to her neck to lick and suck on it. In that moment, Jake needed to know just how aroused she was. So his hand found its way between her thighs. Olivia knew he was more than satisfied with the wetness he felt because he played with her spot in a way that was driving her crazy. It also was making her impatient since she craved something else.

"Why don't you just give it to me already?" Olivia asked looking down at him.

Jake smirked. "I'm not sure I know what you want." That's when he pushed two fingers inside of her causing her back to arch slightly and a loud moan came from her lips. His movements were slow and her eyes closed in enjoyment of what she felt. After seeing the look of pleasure on her face and the occasional lip biting, Jake began moving his fingers in and out of her at a faster pace.

"Ohhhh, Jake. Please!" she practically begged with her eyes still closed.

Jake thought about continuing but he wanted her just as much as she wanted him. "Okay," he said. He stopped what he was doing and she looked him. "Turn over and I'll give you exactly what you want."

She did what he told her to do and Jake guided himself into her. They let out a moan at the same time and Jake pushed them up so they could be in the sitting position. Olivia moved her hips in circular motions while Jake massaged her breast again and kissed on her back repeatedly. Both knew it would be only a matter of time before they reached their peak. She began to move up and down and he leaned back slightly, steadying himself on both hands. The movements quicken and their breathing increased. Jake knew she wanted it bad because her moans became louder and the pace never decreased. Moments later Olivia came. She moved up and down a few more times and Jake wrapped his arms around her as he came. Seconds later Olivia's head fell backwards onto Jake's shoulder out of complete satisfaction while he rested his chin on her shoulder.

They both waited until their breathing slowed before saying anything.

"Good morning by the way," she said with a smile.

Jake chuckled and said "Good morning to you as well. He gave her a kiss on the cheek. "You sure do know how to wake up a man. Very well I must say."

"Well, it wasn't hard to do considering you were never sleeping."

"And how do you know for sure that I wasn't sleeping?"

"Let's just say I have a way of knowing things, Mr. Ballard."

"You're absolutely right about knowing things, Ms. Pope. Especially when it comes to pleasing me sexually."

"Well, it's not hard to do when you are with someone who is great at it as well," Olivia said as she began to play with his hair.

"I appreciate that because I do aim to please," Jake said making them both laugh.

Then silence came as they both became lost in thought. Jake's arms were still wrapped around Olivia and her head still rested on his shoulder. They both thought about how happy they were with one another and how they enjoyed moments like this.

Olivia placed her hands on his forearms before she spoke. "I love you, Jake." And she meant it. She was never the one to tell a man that unless she truly felt that way.

Jake smiled to himself then left light kisses on the shoulder his chin was previously resting on. He still loved to hear her say those three words.

"I love you too, Olivia," he whispered back.

A minute or so later, she lifted her head and climbed out of his lap. Olivia stretched out on her stomach in bed while Jake stretched out on his back. He looked over at her for a few moments before saying anything. Sometimes he still couldn't believe that Olivia was really his.

"So, are you taking today off or something?" he asked.

"Actually, I'm going into work late just like you are. I have some errands to run and I want to take you out for breakfast."

"I get sex AND breakfast this morning? Damn, I'm going to have a great day at work today," Jake said making Olivia grin.

"Your sense of humor never ceases to amaze me at times. And besides, this is not the first time you've gotten these two things in the morning."

"You're right but it rarely happens before work, which is understandable given the jobs we have. But it's not about the food or sex. Just being able to spend a little time with you before going to work always starts my day off right."

Olivia moved closer to Jake. "I couldn't agree more." She leaned in and kissed him deeply.

"You know," he said when they stopped kissing. "If you keep this up, we might not make out of this bed anytime soon.

"You would love for that to happen, wouldn't you?"

"Of course. I would be crazy not to."

"Well, it's not going to happen today. So, up up up. I have things to do," she said while motioning for him to get out of bed.

"Alright, I'm moving." Jake got out the bed and she followed.

Olivia walked in her bathroom, turned on the shower, and then came back into the bedroom. She walked over to her dresser and found a matching bra and panty to put on after her shower. "I'll be out soon."

"So I can't join you this time?"

"You can but no funny business.

"Dang," he said with a fake pout. "Now you're being mean."

"Nope, the sad face is not going to work this time. And I'll gladly be mean this time." She stuck out her tongue playfully at him before disappearing in the bathroom.

Jake just shook his head and smiled to himself before joining her in the shower.

It was a little after six in the evening and Fitz sat on the sofa in his office, watching his three children interact with one another. Teddy was finding amusement in the variety of noises that his brother and sister were making with their mouths. They were playing with Teddy's toys. It was a great feeling having them all in one place permanently. While Gerry and Karen did come home for the holidays and breaks, it wasn't the same having them there every day. He always thought he was a weak man in the sense that he let Mellie talk him into putting the kids into boarding school. Especially since there was no legitimate reason why they needed to be in one but he agreed to it just to make Mellie happy. It was ironic now because he no longer took her feelings into consideration when it came to making decisions anymore.

There were actually a few decisions that he was about to make. He knew Mellie and a few others wouldn't be so happy with it but they needed to be made. He had to put himself in a better position to win his Livvy back. No more wasting time or taking things for granted.

"Sir, Cyrus said entering the Oval Office. "Are you all set to go?"

"Yep, as always," he said.

Fitz stood up and put his suit jacket back on. He told his kids that he would see them later and that their mother would be in there shortly. Cyrus followed closely beside him as they made their way to the press briefing room. Fitz was set to make the announcement that he would be seeking a second term.

When Fitz walked up to the podium he could see dozens of journalists waiting in anticipation to hear what he had to say. It was almost a guarantee that he would want another four years. But little did they know, Fitz was about to announce the exact opposite.

"Good evening. I would to apologize in advance if the way I am making this announcement seems a little informal. But I know we all have more important things that we need to do right now and I don't want to waste anyone's time more than necessary. You want to know the bottom line on whether or not I will seek a second term." Fitz paused before continuing. "And my answer to that would be no. I am not running for re-election."
