A/N: Hey guys, this idea have been swarming around my head for a while, so I hope you enjoy it. Also what story would you like me to update soon?
JFK airport is one of the busiest airports around the world, and around the Holiday's is when it's the worst. Plus many flights were delayed or canceled because of the bad snow storm coming down from Canada.
" Flight 437 to Los Angles have been canceled?" Sully yelled out of frustration. He was suppose to be out of New York City 3 hours ago and now the flight was canceled. He can still make it to the surprise of his wife if there was anything available.
Sully walks over to the airlines information desk to ask for anything out of JFK.
" Excuse me ma'am would you by any chance have any available seats on the last flight out of JFK?"
" No, I'm sorry sir…..I'm afraid flight 426 is all booked…."
" Ma'am, I'm trying to get home to my family and Surprise them for Christmas, please ma'am…"
" No, I'm sorry sir, but I can get you a hotel pass and three round trip tickets to anywhere in the US…..?" The receptionist smiled at Sully sympathetically.
" Wow….um….thank you ma'am!" He smiled excitedly.
" No, sir thank you for serving our country…..Wait your the marine on the news! The one that's getting the Medal of Honor!" She exclaimed excitedly.
" Yep…..that's me….." Sully smiled nervously and rubbed the back of his neck. He doesn't like the attention he was getting for doing his job. It also didn't help that he was wearing his chemo, but he was proud to be a marine and would trade it for the world.
" I'm sorry about the inconvenience again sir…"
" No, I understand no worries…." Sully smiled and walked away. As he was finding a place to eat, he noticed that there was a sports bar and it looked like the perfect place to have a burger. The bar was crowded and Sully had a big backpack so as he was trying to get to the places to order he knocked into a person.
" Sir, I'm so sorry my apologies!" Sully said to the man in horror.
" No, no no it's no problem at all!" The man replied with a hint of anger, but then this was a marine and he had a lot of respect for people in the armed forces so he calmed down. The marine just ruined his Armani suit, but oh well.
" I'd offer to give you clothes, but the only clothes I have are my dress blues and my cemos." Sully smiled.
" No, need my man! Hey why don't you join me at my table?
" Oh, no sir I don't want to intrude…."
" No, you wouldn' be at all! You can actually help me land this blonde chick I'm trying to bed!"
" Ummmm…..Okay…." Sully didn't know how to respond so he just laughed and followed the older man to his table.
" Amanda, this is ummmm….."
" Sully Saint James." Sully smiled and shook her hand.
" And I'm Fitzgerald Thomas Grant the Third." Fitz smiled at Sully.
" I don't mean to be rude sir, but your name seem familiar….."
" Well yeah soldier he's Hollywood's top producer, everyone wants to be in his films." Amanda chimed in.
" It's actually marine,bu….." Before Sully could say more Amanda cuts him off.
" Marine, soldier, there's no difference, y'all all carried guns!"
" Amanda, you will not disrespect a marine or any other person who serves in the military. Please apologize to this brave man!"
" Sorry, Sully…..My mind isn't in the right place…."
" It's no problem ma'am." Sully smiled.
" Don't call me ma'am Sully, it makes me feel old." Amanda joked.
" Yes, ma'am….Sorry forced habit…." Sully laughed.
" Eh, it's alright….. So what's your story Sully?"
" Well…..My flight got cancelled, so I won't be able to fly home on time to be at my wife's 30th surprise Birthday party….I was suppose to be the present…."
" How long have you been deployed?" Fitz asked.
" I've been deployed for 2 years sir."
" Wow...that's a long time Sully…" Amanda gave him a sad smile. " Do you and your wife have any children?"
" Yes, we do. Two beautiful girls….."
" Oh my gosh...that's so cute...Do you have pictures of them?" Amanda asked sincerely.
Sully smiled, nodded, and pulled out his wallet. He took out the picture of his family that was taken two years ago a week before his deployment.
" Oh the right is my older princess, her name is Vanessa she's 7 now. On the left is my younger princess, her name is Isabel, and she will be turning 4 in two days….And of course my beautiful wife Olivia…." Sully smiled at the picture. Fitz was very quiet, but he was in fact very jealous of what Sully had.
The boy had a loving family and a beautiful wife, and it's what Fitz wants. Deep down under all the walls he just wanted to be loved and be a dad. Sure he messed around with a lot of women, but at the end of the way coming home to an empty house kills. Sometimes Fitz hated being famous and rich, because you never know who to trust or love, because most of them are after your money or their five seconds of fame. Fitz was brought out of his thought process by Amanda rubbing her leg up and down his.
" So Sully where ya going?"
" LA." Sully smiled at Fitz.
" No, kidding me too. Are you on flight 426?"
" No, I'm afraid my flight got canceled and yours is the last one out….." Sully smiled sadly. " But i did get three round trips and a night at the hotel." Amanda turned to Fitz and gave him a knowing look.
" Hey Sully, why don't I trade tickets with you? I mean you get to fly first class, and get to the surprise in time." Fitz suggested with a smirk.
" I'm afraid that won't work sir, they do check your ID….." Sully answered nervously.
" I'm Fitz Grant, my wish is their command, I'll make it work. I'll give you my ticket for yours and the hotel pass, you can keep the three round flights. Come on Sully!"
" Umm...okay…" Sully hesitantly agreed. Fitz got up and hugged Sully. Fitz pulled out his phone and took a video of him and Sully.
" You see this man? This man is my hero! AND we just met!" At that point the alcohol was getting to Fitz.
" My man!" Just then boarding for flight 426 was called. " Okay Sully, watch me do my magic." Fitz smirked cockly. Fitz returned five minutes later with a triumphant smile and handed the ticket over to Sully.
" You are all set my friend." Fitz smiled.
" Wow, thank you Mr. Grant, it means a lot…" Sully smiled.
" Don't worry about it…...Get home to your wife and little girl…." Sully hugged him and Amanda, handed over his ticket and hotel pass and left. Amanda smirked at Fitz as he held up the hotel room pass. She grabbed his hand and they headed out to the airport hotel. About two hours later Fitz woke up to sirens and he was a little confused, where was he? Then he remembered what had occurred. Looking outside the hotel window, there was news reporters, police cars, and fire trucks.
Knowing that something was wrong Fitz turned on the TV and switched to the news station.
" Again if you are tuning in on us now, we have official report that Flight 426, the last flight out of JFK airport before it was shut down due to the weather have crashed, we do not know what the cause of the crash at this time, but it is speculated that it is weather related." The new reporter kept talking, but everything was a blur to Fitz.
He killed him, he killed Sully. The marie who had a family! A FAMILY! Him and his selfish reasons took away a husband and a father. It was suppose to be him who was on that flight. Fitz was frozen and he couldn't move, it was all his fault.
Olivia woke up to the sounds of giggles. She pretended to be asleep as her daughters climbed onto the bed. Just as they got close to her she opened her eyes and started to tickle them.
" Mamma…..mamma….stop….that tickles….." Izzy her youngest daughter laughed. Then Vanessa started to tickle her and they were happy, life was good.
" Happy Birthday mamma!" Vanessa screamed.
" YEA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!" Both of the girls kissed Olivia on her cheeks.
" Thank you my babies! Mommy loves you both very much!" Olivia took them into a hug.
" I wish daddy was here, mamma…." Vanessa stated. She was closer to her father and still had a good memory of him.
" Me too, babe, me too…" Olivia smiled at her daughters. Being a military personal wife was not easy, but she loved Sully so much and their girls that Olivia didn't complain too much.
Sure it would be nice to have Sully here to see his daughters grow up, but she knew what being a marine meant to him. He came from a long line of marines, and all the men in his family were Annapolis grads and so was he. She was proud of her man, and everything he's done. Just than her house phone ranged.
" Livia….." Olivia heard her mom's broken voice.
" Mom, what is it? What's the matter? Is dad okay?" Olivia started to panic.
" No….Livia…..It's Sully…." With that sentence Olivia's stomach dropped and she fell to the floor. Maya explained to Olivia what had happened and Olivia was in pure shock. Fifteen minutes later, Maya, Eli, and David her brother was over he house.
A WEEK LATER: Sully's funeral
Fitz stood from afar as he watched the crowded funeral of Sully Saint James. He paid close attention to his family. How broken his wife look, and the older daughter seemed torn. It was his fault that Sully was in that plane crash, so Fitz wanted to make sure the family was okay. After half an hour he couldn't take it anymore, he had to leave. The guilt was too much.
6 Months Later
Fitz was sitting inside his car, looking at Olivia's flower shop. It looked like she was going out of business. Finally Fitz had enough courage to go into the shop. As soon as he entered, there she was, Sully's wife. As beautiful as ever. Olivia James was a beautiful woman, from her beautiful eyes to her skin. Fitz was mesmerized.
" Can I help you sir?" Olivia asked innocently.
" Ummm….." Fitz was frozen because he didn't known what to say to her. Like oh hey I was the reason why your husband was in that crash.
" Sir….."
" Oh right, yes! I was wondering, why you are going out of business? This shop is beautiful….."
" My….ahhh...my late husband had passed away and I cannot afford the bills anymore….." Olivia gave the man with the bluest eyes a sad smile.
" My name is Fitzgerald Grant, and I'm a movie producer. I was wondering if your shop would do the flower arrangements for the next movie I am producing….."
" I knew you looked familiar! Oh, sorry and YES OF COURSE WE WILL!" In reality Fitz didn't really need another florist, but he felt responsible for Sully's family and hate to see Olivia struggle like this.
" Well Mr. Grant, I am Olivia Pope-James, it's a pleasure to meet you."
