Sitting at her desk at OPA exhausted. Although it's only 2pm she's ready for this day to be over. But it hits her. Big case she's the boss = she can't go home just yet. She needs a minute. Just one minute to recoup, to breath. So she takes out her phone.
Moving over to the couch she dials the one person who will definitely help her in getting through this day.
two rings*
"Hi"
She catches herself smiling like she wasn't feeling despondent a few minutes ago.
Releasing a breath as she relaxes.
"Hi.." Liv says
"Liv..is everything ok?"
she rubs her hand over her 6month baby bump*
"Fitz everything's fine, I'm just tired. Who would've thought pregnancy wouldn't be easier the second time around. Why did I even allow you to knock me up again!"
Fitz could only laugh at his wife.
"Okay first of all you agreed to having another baby because your other baby was growing up too fast. Your words not mine. Btw your other baby spend all day trying to convince me to get her a puppy and Liv...you know I can't say no to her..."
"Fitzgerald I swear to g-"
"Babe relax. I told her she should ask mommy"
"I hate you sometimes you know that right?"
Fitz let out a belly laugh. "Oh come on livvie you know you can handle her better than me"
"Where is she btw?" Liv asks sweetly
Ava! Your mommy's on the phone!* Liv hears Fitz calling
"Hold on a sec babe" says Fitz putting the phone on loudspeaker
"Hi mommy!!" Ava squealed excitedly.
"Hi Ava Grace." Liv says smiling widely hearing her 4 year olds voice.
"Mommy you coming home now?" She asks innocently
"No baby not right now. But you're having
fun with your daddy aren't you?"
"Lots and lots of fun! I paint daddy's face and then we play tea party and then uhm..oh! and then I help daddy with uhm with his work for the libarary!" said Ava happily
Her parents both chuckled at their daughters pronunciation of library.
Ava lightly gasps suddenly remembering "oooh and daddy gave me ice cream and cookies" She states proudly.
Fitz's eyes went wide. He quickly tries to change the topic.
"Ava mommy should probably get back to work, right Liv?" He says hopefully.
Liv realises she probably should get some work done if she wants to go home at a reasonable hour.
"Yeah baby, daddy's right. I have a bit of work to do but mommy will be home real soon ok?"
"Okay mommy!" said Ava running off to watch Trolls singing along with princess poppy.
taking the phone off loudspeaker* Fitz quickly says "So no more cookies and ice cream for lunch. But I swear livvie she tricked me with that sad face she does so brilliantly.."
"Hey its okay. Just remember...once this little minion is born and turns out to be a complete momma's boy, you don't get to complain" Liv says confidently
"Hahaha babe you know he's already a momma's boy. Hey, you feeling a little better now?" Fitz asks so purely Liv can't believe she found a man who loves her so much.
"Yeah...yeah I'm good. Let me just work out a few more things on this case and I'll see you guys at home"
"Alright baby. I love you"
"Love you more. Bye"
"Bye Liv" says Fitz as they hang up.
Its 4:30pm when there's a knock on Liv's office door.
"Come in!" Liv yells
Harrison walks in with a confused expression.
"Uhm ok liv I'm pretty sure we told you this morning you're only allowed to work till 13:00 since you insist on still coming in to office - pregnant."
Liv sighs "Harrison look I-"
"We got this Olivia. We do. And yes you're brilliant, hell you're the best. But you taught us well. Trust me. We'll call if your help is desperately needed. But right now you need to get home. Be with your family. Enjoy your pregnancy liv. Come on" Harrison pleads
Olivia can't help it though. Fixing is apart of her she can't just not work.
"Listen harrison I get it okay.. this case is just really bothering me. But it is tiring though so if you say you got this then fine. I'm going home" Liv smiles softly at him.
"Now go and give princess Ava a big hug for me" says harrison
Liv let's out a light chuckle
"You guys spoil her too much" She says
Taking her bag Liv heads home.
"Bye harrison"
"See you liv."
