A/N: Hey guys so why I am writing a new story when I don't have time for it I don't know , but I guess just really want to. I've been flirting with this idea for a while and I've just decided to go ahead with this story. So this is a Melitz cannon story that will start at their visit to Big Jerry's house in Santa Barbra. Now this story will be Melitz and I really hope it will be amazing because I feel that this is the kind of story that will really be able to be the kind of story that has lots of chapters because the way I see it the story will take place over probably the course of 20 years. Now this firs chapter is the longest I ever wrote, it's over 4400 words. Anyway, I hope you all like this story and please please please review because I want to know if this is a good idea. Enjoy

She was in that almost awake dream land sleep when she felt his wet lips plant a soft kiss on her forehead. She let out a soft moan as she rolled over in the soft bed slowly opening her eyes and smiling as she saw her husband's deep blue eyes looking at her with so much love and affection that she felt herself fall even more in love with her husband.

"Good morning he said softly as he climbed on top of her adjusting the covers and leaning down slowly moving his lips towards her

"Good morning" she mumbled before moving up and meeting his soft wet lips in a passionate kiss. As he continued to kiss her he slipped his tongue into her mouth while she ran her hands up his head burying them in his curly locks. As she continued to move hands within his hair she only added to his extreme case of bedhead. Even with his hair messy he was still ungodly handsome. With his curly hair, chiseled jaw, rock hard abs and deep blue eye's he was one of the hottest men she had ever seen. It wasn't only his looks but instead his personality that had sold him on Fitzgerald Grant. Fitz had shown her more love than she had ever thought possible , he was the kindest sweetest most genuine person who had helped her once again regain her confidence after the whole fiasco with her father that had left her feeling unwanted and unloved.

It had all started when she was 15 and she got home from boarding school only to find all of her father's things gone. At first she just thought he was on a business trip but instead she later found out via Rose the maid that her father had been screwing his secretary and now the girl was pregnant with their love child. At that moment Mellie's heart had broken, she had always loved her father more than her mother and this was how her father was repaying her … by leaving her for his whore. As mad as she was at her father she was also mad at her mother for not having the guts to tell her herself, instead sending the maid to do it for her. Looking back at it now Mellie had realized that it was fitting that she was told this way considering how often her mother pawned her off to the help during her childhood. Mellie still remembered driving to her father's office and storming inside. As she refused to sit down his office because she was mad she saw the pictures of him and some blond whore. When she began to scream and cry he didn't even cry instead he offered her money before saying "I'm sorry Melody but this is my family now" After this moment Mellie lost all of her self-esteem , she felt worthless , she felt like she would never compare to stupid Harmony. Luckily though when she met Fitz she began to feel beter about herself due to him telling her multiple times a day how beautiful and amazing she is. Fitz had filled that void in her life with love and happiness and for that she was eternally grateful.

As he continued to kiss her she felt him begin to grind his harness against her wet center. He was teasing her and she could hardly handle it. Suddenly she heard Fitz's fathers booming voice echo throughout the house "Son time to get up"

"Your father" Mellie mumbled as he down her bare body in between the valley of her breasts.

"Ignore him maybe he'll go away" Fitz said as he moved father and father down , his tongue finally reaching its destination casing Mellie's back to arch as she tried to handle the feeling he was giving her.

"Stop fooling like a pair of teenagers and put some clothes on I need you both down here in 5" Jerry boomed as Fitz grunted in annoyance. While Mellie kept her rocky relationship with her father a secret It was no secret how much Fitz hated his father … they could never be in the same room for more than 10 minutes before fighting.

"Ooh I do not like that man right now" Mellie said as she grew annoyed at the thought of cutting short her alone time with Fitz

"I never like him" Fitz said as Mellie giggled, partly from what he said and partly from the tickling sensation his tongue was giving her. "Fitz" she giggled as she began to squirm in the bed.

"I am trying to get you pregnant … be quiet and let me work" he said as he began to kiss and suck on her neck.

"But your fathers right downstairs" Mellie said starting to feel a little awkward to think that they were having sex in the same house her father in law was in. Then again they had had sex in much weirded places.

"Hurry it up" Jerry bellowed

"Coming" Fitz yelled back

"What does he want?" Fitz asked in an exasperated tone

"I don't know" she mumbled as she continued to kiss him. Suddenly she felt the feeling of his entry as he moved hard and fast trying to not make them too late. Within seconds they were both lying on the bed basking in their afterglow while the smell of sweat and passion filled the air. As much as she wanted to stay in his arms all day Mellie finally peeled away from him and got up of the bed not even mothering to cover up her fully nude body.

"Come back" Fitz said as he reached out and grabbed her arm

"We gotta go downstairs baby" she said as she pulled away and headed to the huge walk in closet where she unzipped her Prada luggage grabbing a pair of black lace panties and a matching Bra. As she clipped on the bra and pulled on the panties she saw Fitz walk up behind her wearing only his boxers. He wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly before letting his hand wander down farther and farther.

"If you rip another pair of my panties so help you god" Mellie said

"What ... are you not saying that you like me wiping of your panties?"

"I like what you do after you take them off but the whole going to Victoria secret every week gets a little old and a lot expensive" Mellie teased even though they both knew they had more money than they knew what to do with

"Well I think that it is a worthwhile investment" He said placing a kiss in the nape of her neck before pulling away. And heading to his side of the closet where he grabbed a baby blue short sleeve shirt and khaki pants. Mellie pulled on a Missoni shirt she had gotten in London and some black jeans. While Fitz slipped on his Sperry's Mellie decided to be adventurous and go barefoot. As they walked out of the room Fitz wrapped his arm around her.

"I can't wait to get you back up to bed the second this is over" he said in a seductive whisper

"You see this is exactly why I'm late to work every day" she teased as they walked down the massive staircase towards the foyer where Jerry was standing talking to some guy who looked like a creepy wolf Blitzer impersonator. Jerry turned and saw them immediately.

"Oh here meet your Kingmaker Cyrus Beene – a genius who spins average men into candidates and candidates into gold and if we can just pry him out of his ivory tower long enough he's going to put you both in the California's governor's mansion mark my words" Jerry said as Mellie shook the man's hand

"I thought we weren't even forming an exploratory committee for three years" Fitz pointed out confused at what was happening

"That was before you moved up to the front of the line … word on the street is that Stevenson is about to drop out"

"Well he's tall like you said … that's good nice head of hair … also where are we on schooling?" Cyrus asked as he uncomfortably circled the couple inspecting them

"Oh Yale, Rhodes Scholar, navy, Harvard law and "

"That'll do" Cyrus cut of "The wife's perfect"

"Thank you Mr. Beene" Mellie said as she began to blush, she quietly wrapped her arms around Fitz who still seemed shocked and confused by what was happening.

"What is this?" Fitz asked confused at why Mellie was acting so excited

"I think it's our first step to the Whitehouse baby" Mellie said with a smile as she stood on her tippy toes and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"That's the spirit …. Now why don't you to go get properly cleaned up while Cyrus and I get something to eat" Jerry suggested as he left the room.

10 minutes later:

Mellie stood in the bathroom as she threw her clothes into the hamper before pulling on a light fluffy robe and heading into the bedroom. Fitz was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling. He had been surprisingly quiet since the incident downstairs.

"Honey are you okay?" Mellie asked as she sat on the edge of the big fluffy bed the robe moving farther and farther up with every movement

"I'm fine" he said not looking at her

"Are you sure , I mean you just found out that you could be the next governor of the state and you don't seem the least bit excited" She pointed out as she picked up his heavy arm and placed his hand on her knee.

"I would be excited but it's just I … I really don't like the idea of my father helping with this … I mean I just don't want to be indented to him again" Fitz said suddenly realizing what he had said hoping that she wouldn't notice

"Again .. Why are you already indebted to him?" Mellie asked as Fitz felt his stomach churn

"Well you know … I wasn't the most qualified to Harvard and he pulled some strings" Fits said hating that he had to lie to Mellie

"Come on sweetie … you were plenty qualified besides I really don't think that him helping you get into Harvard is some big debt"

"I know I just … I want to be my own man and win this on my own"

"Okay well you father brought Mr. Beene here so can we at least listen to what he has to say … please?" Mellie said begging slightly

"Fine I'll listen but I'm not agreeing to anything" He said stiffly

"Sure … now can we not talk about your father for the next 10 minutes?" she asked seductively as she untied the robe and let it slip of her body. The second Fitz saw this the bulge in his pants began to form as he Picked her up and carried her into the bathroom setting her down on the counter while he turned on the shower and removed his own clothing. The second the water became hot he pulled her back into his arms and entered the huge glass shower. The second they were inside he slammed her against the wall and decided it would be good idea to get dirty before they got clean. Finally when they had don't the dirty they decided it was time to get clean. As Fitz grabbed the soap he began to rub in all of his favorite part of his wife's body. When they were finally done Mellie walked out of the shower and grabbed two big fluffy white towels as she began to rub the towel down the her husband's chest. Even though the fluffy towel she could still feel his abs. When they were finally dry Mellie grabbed a crisp white collared shirt a brown sweater and a pair of skinny blue jeans. Once she was done getting changed she saw Fitz digging through his bag looking for a shirt to wear. Mellie quickly grabbed his black turtle neck and handed it to him.

"Here I think you need to wear this since I kind of marked you up" Mellie said pointing to the purple mark on his neck

"Oh you naughty girl … you will pay for this" He teased

"Oh I bet I will" She said with a smirk as she walked away but not before he quickly smacked her ass

Finally Fitz pulled on his turtle neck and quickly ran a comb through his hair before they headed downstairs to the living room where Cyrus was next to an easel with a map of California. Big jerry was sitting on a sofa and looked very annoyed for them taking so long. Mellie and Fitz quickly sat down on the sofa, Fitz rested his hand on her knee while she rested her arm on his shoulder.

"Okay so to win California you need the full khachigan hook. Thanks to Senator Grant's generous and continuous farm subsidies you'll inherit the hicks pretty easily add these U.F.O spotting desert trash districts. Along with the defense industry dependent inland empire and you lock up everything from Bakersfield to Riverside.

"Lord knows they love me in the south" Jerry gloated

"They used to ... demos have changed drastically , a new wave of immigrants are less likely to cozy up to richy richy and snow white over here … no offence "

"None taken" Fitz said with a smirk

"Well you beter learn Spanish, Rapido" Jerry said sarcastically

"Please don't … voter can always spot a phony, you can't be who you're not?" Cyrus explained

"How do you accept we connect with them?" Mellie asked

"You don't … ignore them" Cyrus said as everyone became confused

"What do you mean ignore them? What the hell kind of strategy is that?" Jerry barked

"It's simple … You're a war hero with a strong military record. We play that up, get you're navy buddies to stump on your behalf and we link together all the districts around San Diego Chock – full of retired military. Then we swing up to the O.C that big fat grouper at the end of the hook" Cyrus said excitingly

"No" Fitz said flatly as Mellie became confused at what was wrong with the plan

"What do you mean no? The man's right … spot on!" Jerry said

"I'm not running as a war hero … it's that simple" Fitz stated

"Fitzgerald, other than name recognition, It's all you've got" Cyrus pointed out

"So we wait until the next cycle in the meantime I expand my resume" Fitz suggested

"No, you won't find a field weaker than this, it's now or never" Jerry pointed out

"Have you heard a word of what I just said?" Fitz snapped at Jerry

"Fitz I'm sure we can…" Mellie said softly

"Son … do what your told" Jerry interrupted

"Running on my military experience is off limits end of story" Fitz said as he angrily got up and walked out of the room. Jerry quickly stormed after him leaving Mellie sitting there speechless.

30 minutes later:

It had been half an hour since Fitz had stormed out of the room and the tensions in the house were higher than ever. Mellie could hear Jerry and Fitz's screams echoing throughout the house as Cyrus began to look more and more impatient.

"I'll be right back" Mellie said as she quickly scurried out of the room down the hall into the sunroom where Jerry and Fitz were fighting with each other

"You have a future thanks to me" Jerry snarled

"I think Cyrus Beene is about to leave, quit even, I don't know what to do, Big Jerry maybe you can…" Mellie said as she couldn't figure out what to do

"I won't run on a lie" Fitz snapped

"What else have you accomplished? The only other thing you have going for you is that you have my son. That's it. That's all you are … my son, not as smart, not as interesting but my son all the same I made you, I can destroy you! So you will do what you're told that's an order" Jerry barked

"Grants don't take Order's" Fitz snapped as he stormed out of the room

"Don't walk away from me!" Jerry barked after a second of shock Mellie scurried back to the living room only to find that Cyrus had already left. Mellie quickly chased after him.

"It's just a little disagreement, a kerfuffle, a father/son thing."

"I don't do family drama Mrs. Grant, I have enough of that at home with my wife" Cyrus said as he continued to leave

"But"

"I'm a political warrior, I slash I burn, I kill, you want him to be governor? You want him to run this dam country one day? I will hand you that on a silver platter. You want his hand held you want his nose wiped or someone to hug him and tell him that he's great … do it yourself, that's your job" he explained

"My job?" she asked slightly confused and slightly offended

"You're the wife"

"I'm a lawyer, I'm a partner at a law firm"

"You have to give that up, they told you that right …. You are a woman so it is your new job to stand by and support your man"

"I'm sorry but that is incredibly sexist Mr. Beene … it is not my job to be a housewife and it is certainly not my job to listen to someone as shallow and closed minded as you" she snapped through gritted teeth as Cyrus looked at her shocked

"I would suggest that you should run because you clearly seem to want this more than your husband but you will never run because you are just an accessory, your ornamental" he said as he got into his car and sped off. Normally Mellie would feel horrible if somebody said something like that but today she felt angry, disgusted and slightly empowered. She quickly walked back into the house and found Fitz sitting in the office nursing a scotch.

"What that your second one today?" Mellie asked

"Are you seriously going to give me shit about this right now" He said in a harsh tone

"Okay hold up, I get it your mad but taking it out on me is not okay"

"I know I'm sorry I just … I can't stand my father" He admitted as he finished off the glass. Before he could pour another one Mellie stopped him.

"Okay how about instead of drinking ourselves into oblivion we can go out and get some diner" Mellie suggested as Fitz agreed because he needed some excuse to get out of the house and away from his father.

15 minutes later:

Mellie and Fitz sat across the table from each other at some greasy Chinese place.

"You okay?" Mellie asked knowing that Fitz must have been hurt by his father's comments … even though he hated his father he was still deep down afraid of not meeting his father's expectations.

"Yeah I'm fine I just … I don't want to talk about it" he said softly

"Okay fine … I called Cyrus Beene sexist" Mellie blurted out as Fitz looked stunned

"Seriously?"

"Yeah … he was going on about how I had to give up my career and about how I'm ornamental and I don't know it just lit a spark in me"

"Wow … did he seriously say that?"

"Yeah he did …. And I mean I guess it makes sense but…"

"Wait a second Mel's are you kidding? You're 32 and you're a partner at a law firm, your unbelievably successful and I never want you to give that up okay … and anyway I don't know about this whole Governor thing, I know you want it but I just don't … I mean it's just I want to help people but I'm just not sure if politics is the right thing for me… I'm sorry"

"Don't apologize, besides I think I blew it with Cyrus Beene … anyway why you don't want to run on your military record, I mean I'm just curious" she asked as he tensed up

"Because I didn't enlist for the right reasons, I enlisted because I wanted to spite my father not because I wanted to serve my country and I now realize that this was wrong"

"I get that ... even so you're still a war hero and you're still my hero" She said with a smile

"Your hero that makes me sound like Prince charming" he said with a chuckle

"You are my prince charming" she said as she leaned in and kissed him

45 minutes later:

When they arrived back at the palatial estate they pulled into the 5 car garage before entering the massive home. Built right on the beach it had been in Fitz's family for generations. It was a gorgeous home that was one of the only places that Fitz had good memories of because he spent a lot of his time here in this house with his mother who was his best friend and only refuge from his father until she died when he was 15. Her dying was the hardest thing that Fitz had ever gone through. As he thought about this he began to feel tired so he headed upstairs to go to sleep. Mellie wanted some water so she headed to the kitchen instead. On her way back she passed by the den where Jerry was sitting next to a roaring fire.

"Ah Mellie come here" he slurred as he pated the spot next to him on the sofa. Mellie was about to agree when she suddenly began to felt sick, it was the second time it had happened today and she had a pretty good idea of what it must mean.

"I … I'm not feeling too well, I think I'm going to go upstairs, goodnight Jerry" she said as she scurried upstairs before stopping in one of the bathrooms and throwing up. Luckily she was clean about it so she didn't get any on her clothes or in her hair. Once she was done she grabbed a washcloth and wiped her face before rinsing her mouth. Then she tiptoed down the hallway and into the bedroom where Fitz was fast asleep. Mellie quickly tiptoed over to her bag where she had 4 pregnancy tests waiting. She had been a few weeks late and she had begun to feel nauseous so she had picked up a few of these at the pharmacy on the way here. She didn't want Fitz to know yet in case she wasn't pregnant, she didn't want to get his hopes up. She quickly grabbed the tests and headed to the bathroom where she flicked on a light and took all four of the tests. She waited a while before looking. As she looked at the 4 pink plus signs she felt tear of joy running down her face. They were going to be parents. She knew she shouldn't tell him this early but she just had to. She quickly left the bathroom and climbed into the bed shaking Fitz until he woke up.

"Fitz baby wake up"

"Mel's what's going on?" he asked confused

"Fitz I just took the test …. I'm pregnant"

"Seriously? "He asked wondering if this was a dream

"Seriously" Mellie said her smile widening

"Were going to be parents?" he asked still in disbelief

"Were going to be parents" Mellie said as Fitz pulled her into his arms. Soon they began to kiss and within moments they were completely naked in each other's arms. They spent the whole night making love, slowly moving inside of each other loving every inch of each other. Finally Mellie fell asleep in his arms around 3:00 am.

The next morning Fitz woke up to find a clod empty spot in the bed where she was supposed to be. As she sat up he saw her through the French doors standing on the balcony. She was wearing his boxers and his navy shirt. The grey of the shirt looked amazing against her tan California skin. He quickly got up and pulled on some boxers before heading out to the balcony. The second he opened the door she quickly turned around.

"Hey" she said with a smile before she turned around to once again face the ocean

"Hey … what you thinking about" he asked as she wrapped his arms around her resting his hand on her stomach

"The governor's mansion…" she admitted

"Mellie I…" he said

"I was thinking about the governor's mansion and how I don't want it"

"Really?" he asked in disbelief

"Yeah … all I need is you and this baby, I love you and I don't want you to be unhappy, I don't want to force you into this … I love you too much for that"

"I love you and I don't care what the future brings as long as you're in it"

"Yeah and I mean I don't want you to be in debt to your father and who knows maybe I'll run for office … but until then I have you which is all that matters."
