A bomb so huge that even Olivia Pope doesn't think she can handle it. What will it be and can Olitz make it through this shocking discovery?
Chapter 1: Planning Forever
As she lay in bed thinking about everything that has taken place over the last 2 months Olivia can't help but be a little excited. She finally gets to love her man freely. It was a beautiful sunny day and Fitz and Olivia planned to have lunch in the rose garden to talk about their plans of moving to Vermont once Fitz wasn't president. Olivia had long awaited this conversation and it blew her mind that the day had finally come. Things were finally starting to fall in place.
"Oh gosh, enough day dreaming Olivia. You have to get dressed now so you won't be late for your lunch with Fitz! Girl, this is NOT the lunch you want to miss. Trust me." said Abby.
Abby and Olivia decided to move in together when the big presidental divorce took place. It was a complete media circus and Abby knew that even though Liv would never say it, she needed a friend.
"Ooo yea, you're probably right. Thanks Abby."
"No problem. Just remember when you become First Lady that I was the reason you were not late for your first offical date with the president."
"Oh my gosh! That's so true! It's our first real date! Now Im going to have to change my entire outfit!"
"Please! You and I both know there's no need to do that. If everything goes the way I think it will, you won't be wearing your outfit very long anyway." says Abby with a wink.
Both women laughed and went about their day.
After Olivia was ready she heard a knock on the door.
'KNOCK, KNOCK'
"Who's there?"
"Ms. Pope, it's Tom. The President sent me to take you to your lunch."
Olivia runs to the door and opens it.
"I thought I was just going to meet him there."
"You will ma'am but he insisted that I come get you. With the divorce still being kind of fresh he doesn't want you running into the media alone."
It made Olivia happy that Fitz was always concerned and thinking ahead but he should know better then anyone. She could handle herself. Olivia didn't want to start an argument so she put her pride aside.
"Okay, well lets get going then."
The ride to the White House seemed alot shorter then usual. Maybe because Olivia had been replaying her relasionship with Fitz over and over in her head. The idea of them being together use to stop at a certain point but now it was like it started playing again. As they approached the White House, Olivia started getting butterflies in her stomach. That was not normal. Olivia Pope did not get butterflys.
"Ms. Pope, the president is waiting for you in the first door to the left. Good day ma'am." said Tom.
"Wait, Tom. I thought we were meeting in the rose garden. What happened to that?"
"Now that you'll have to find out Ms. Pope." smiled Tom.
Olivia pushed the doors open and was shocked at the sight before her eyes.
Gasp! "Oh my Gosh. Fitz..."
There Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III was standing in a room filled with rose petals and candles. A beautiful candle lit dinner for two.
"Do you like it?" asked Fitz.
"Oh my gosh Fitz. I love it! I can't believe you did all this for me!"
"Sweet baby, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you. I wanted to make today very special. Today is the day we plan forever."
"Forever?" Olivia asked.
Fitz walked to her slowly and grabbed her waist and stared deeply into her eyes with a smile.
"Yes, forever. Did you plan on leaving me sooner?"
Olivia laughed. "Of course not. I just don't know how you're going to put up with me for all that time."
"There's nothing I'd rather be doing then putting up with you."
Fitz kissed Olivia softly. The kiss quickly got heated but Olivia stopped it.
"Hey Hey Hey! I haven't eaten all day waiting for this lunch. Lets eat. There will be plenty time for this later. Plus, we have alot to talk about if were planning on moving to Vermont within a year"
Fitz time has president was slowly coming to an end. He had only one year left. Him and Olivia decided they would get everything together throughout the year so when his presidency was over they could just move straight in.
"Food over me?"
"Right now. Yes." laughed Olivia.
"Yea okay. You will regret saying that later when I don't want to do anything."
"Ha! Yea right. You not wanting to do anything? Not even possible."
Fitz laughed. "Yea, you're right. Never going to happen. Lets just hurry up and eat and plan so we can get to it."
"Okay." chuckled Olivia.
Things were finally falling together. Vermont was finally in arms reach and all the waiting was over. They really were about to plan forever. Never did Olivia think she would really be here planning forever with the man of her dreams. It was far from a fairytale relationship but now it was starting to feel like the perfect love story. Nothing could mess up this feeling.
