Truth and Consequence

It is the saddest day of Olivia's life. The last place she ever thought she would be, her mother's Mya Marie Carter funeral. As she says goodbye to the mother she never really knew. Olivia's heart breaks. Standing to look out at the only family she knows. Abby, Quinn, Steven, Harrison and Huck she speaks.

"I'm not sure what to say, because I only saw you a couple of times as a child". "But I never forgot you, and I love you mom". Oliva then breaks down sobbing uncontrollably .Abby jumps from her seat, and goes to comfort Oliva with tears in her eyes. "It's gonna be ok Liv" Abby says doing her best to console Olivia. That's when all of Liv's family all stood and rapped their arm around her as well. Unbeknown to any of them there was a figure on the upper level watching their emotional breakdown.

Olivia decided to have her mom cremated because she wanted to be able to keep her close to her. It brought her a sense of peace knowing that she could keep her urn close by. At 28 years old Olivia feels as if she has completely lost all hope of ever really finding out why her mother left her. Losing her mother brought back the hurt she felt after losing her Nanna, Anna Mae Carter.

Past:

Five year old Olivia looks at her nanna and asks, "Nanna is my mommy coming back?" Nanna looks at Olivia with a smile and say "Yes Livvie dear. She always comes back". Olivia leans into her nanna's with the saddest eyes. "I miss her nanna, she been gone for a long time". Anna kisses Liv on the forehead. "I know livvie, I know".

"But why did she leave me nanna?" Did I do something wrong?"

"No sweetie. You didn't do anything wrong, Mommy is just having a hard time right now. So Nanna is looking after you till mommy can take care of you."

"I be glad when she come back, because I miss her. " Anna rubs Liv's back and states "Me too Livvie, me too."

Anna continues to hold Olivia till she falls asleep. Nearing sleep herself she's interrupted when the phone rings. "Hello?"

"Hi mom."

"Mya"! Anna says in a hush tone.

"Yes mom it's me. How's Livvie?'

"She's fine dear. She's been asking for you." When are you coming home?"

"I told you mom, her dad is a dangerous man. He can't know she exist or he will hurt me and my baby." "I have to stay out of site. If he finds me and find out I did not abort Livvie he will kill me mom. I've told you this." That's why she doesn't have our last name. She has his name. Cause he would never have any reason to suspect her under his last name, even if he finds me. I left her with you because he thinks you're dead. That's why I couldn't have her in a hospital mom. That's why I had to leave and I can't keep taking chances and coming back. I'm sorry mom. Please take care of my baby. I will call when I can. I love you mom and please let livvie know I love her so much. I'm doing this for her mom." Mya finally takes a breath but she's inconsolable and hangs up without saying goodbye.

Anna has taken care of Olivia since the day Mya appeared on her doorstep 8 months pregnant in full blown labor. With fear in her eyes she pleads with Anna to help her because she needed to deliver this baby and she couldn't do it in a hospital. "Momma, please help me!" Anna helps her daughter inside of her home with a panic on her face. "Mya what the hell? Child are you in labor?" Mya looks at her mom and says, "Yes mom. But nobody can know. I really messed up mom. Aaaaaaa, I think its coming! Anna takes her daughter to her old room and lays her down. She gets to work getting towels, warm water, and scissors. Meanwhile Mya continues to scream as baby Olivia pushes her way into the world. 10 minutes later Olivia Carolyn Pope is born. Weighing in at 7 pounds, 10 ounces, 19 inches long, beautiful head of black hair, big doe eyes and pouty lips. Mya and Anna immediately fall in love with this beautiful baby girl.

After 2 days of rest and a long talk with Anna, Mya prepares to leave after handing her mother a birth certificate with the name Marie Wallace (Mother), Olivia Carolyn Pope (Newborn), and father (decease).

It's been 1 week since the funeral and Olivia is beyond depressed. As Olivia sits on the couch nursing a glass of wine with tears in her eyes her doorbell rings. "Who the hell is at my door!" she says to herself but does not move from her sitting position. Again the doorbell rings. Still not moving to answer she thinks to herself. If I don't answer maybe they will go away. After a moment or so the person on the other side of the door begins to bang loudly on the door. Then she hears her voice "Oliva open this door! I know you're in there. I see your car outside". Abby yells. She then hears the lock turn and in comes Abby. "Liv what the hell? Why didn't you open the door? Why are you sitting there in the dark? 'Abby opens the blinds and that's when she notices. "Liv, what's the matter you're crying". Abby runs to her side and pulls Liv into a hug and allows her to cry until she decided to stop. There are no words exchanged. Abby just sits with Liv and hugs her until Liv speaks. "I never got to know her Abby." "And even thought she left me, I still had hope. I still loved her." Abby looks at Liv with tears now in her eyes as well and asks, "Do you think what your Nanna said is true about her life being in danger?"

"I'm not sure, but Nanna wouldn't lie to me. I don't think."

"Maybe we can have Huck look into it for you."

"No! Nanna said to never look for my mother. That it was too dangerous. That my supposed father worked for some highly dangerous secret agency that teach people to kill. And if he finds out about me that I would be in danger of being killed as well."

"Do you think he killed your mother?" Abby asked looking at Olivia as if she had two heads.

"I don't know Abby and too afraid to find out." Olivia breaks down and begins to cry again. Abby just sits and holds her until she falls asleep. Olivia wakes up 2hrs later only to find Abby asleep next to her. She smiles. Abby has been like the sister she never had. She met her in college. Actually she met Harrison and Steven there as well. Since Abby was still asleep Olivia decided to take a shower and put on some clean sleep ware. After getting out of the shower Olivia heads back downstairs where a sleeping Abby is now awake in the kitchen looking for something to prepare for Olivia. "Hey Abbs, thanks for staying with me."

"No problem Liv you needed me. I'm just glad I followed my gut and came by." Are you feeling better?'

"A little bit. What you looking for? Maybe I can find it for you."

"Well actually I was gonna prepare something simple for you. I'm sure you haven't eaten anything today"

"No I haven't been very hungry."

"How about some veggie soup?"

"That sounds good. Are you staying the night?"

"For as long as you need me." I already talked to Stephan. Him and the guys will stop by tomorrow."

"Ok"

Abby and Liv ate and talked and cried for most of the night. When Liv woke up the next morning she could hear the many voices whispering in the other room. She decide to get up and do her morning routine of brushing her teeth and washing her face before heading to the living room where her extended family was waiting for her to appear. As liv steps into view of the living room she's greeted by Harrison being he was the first to see her. "Hey Liv." Harrison says leaping up from the couch.

"Hey Liv." The rest of the gang chimed in.

"Hey guys." Olivia states and hugs everyone one by one. For the rest of the day they all just sit around taking turns trying to get Liv's mind off of her pain.

…

"FITZGERALD!" Mellie yells for the hundredth time. Fitz pulls the covers over his head. Trying to drown out the sound of Mellie's voice. But again she yells his name.

"This Bitch." Fitz says under his breath. "What Mellie?" He yells back finally coming from underneath the blanket he so desperately wished would make her disappear.

"I know you heard me the first time." Mellie sneered.

Fitz blows out a breath. Speaking in a softer tone. "What Mellie?"

"Can you turn over you're poking me in my back with the penis you never use." Mellie screeched.

"If I can do it without a condom I would poke you with my unused penis. Mellie why do I need a condom? We are married."

Mellie head snaps in Fitz's direction. "You just want to knock me up. We're not ready for children. We have only been married for a year Fitz."

"Well then get some birth control." Fitz says

"Well isn't that what condoms are?' Mellie smiles figuring she shut him up ending this stupid conversation. Mellie having no intention of having a child until she fills he's earn the right to impregnate her. It's only been a year and Fitz has yet to even disclose his net worth with her. She knows he comes from money. The Grant name means money. And Mellie plans on enjoying it before pushing out any Grant babies.

Fitz pulls the covers back getting out of the bed walks to the bathroom and turns on the shower. Thinking to himself. What the fuck have I gotten myself into? She knew I wanted children when I dated her. She wanted to be abstinent while dating. I did that. Thought Fitz. Then she demanded I use a condom our first time and every time after that. "What the fuck!" Fitz stated out loud as he jagged off trying to get rid of his painful boner.

Unbeknown to Fitz Mellie has been having an affair with a partner at her firm by the name of Andrew Nicoles Truth be told Mellie is in no way attracted to Fitzgerald Grant. Just the Grant money and how much she can spend. The sex is just painful. Who in their right mind wants something that big inside of them. Sex should be pleasurable not painful according to Mellie. Fitz never really liked condoms because they were uncomfortable being a man with his girth..

As Fitz grabs his keys and wallet and heads out to his car to go to work his phone rings. "Hello. "His secretary is calling from his office where he runs a successful consulting company call Grant For The People. He helps people who have died and left their Estate with no Will or unclaimed life/death insurance, money or property. Being wealthy with no one to claim your assets after your death being left in the hand of the government doesn't set well with him.

As a child Fitz childhood friend Sam parents were killed when was just five years of age. No other family known or looked for left the child in foster care. Where within two years of being in the system was killed at the hands of his foster parents. In hopes that they would inherit his wealth and trust fund. That money and estate went unclaimed for 20 years. Until the government took claim of it. Only to find out 25 years later there was yet family alive who could not claim the estate because Statue of Limitation had run out. This experience from knowing the family set Fitz on his career path. Big Jerry was disappointed his son did not want to follow in the family way Grant Oil, but he understood and respected his son's decision.

"Yes Lauren?"

"Mr. Grant you said you wanted to know immediately if Caldwell Funds of family Estates needed our assistance."

"Thank you Lauren I'll be right in. After disconnecting the call Fitz dials another number and wait for the call to connect. Once the person picks up the other end Fitz speaks. "Start up the paperwork." "Yes Sr." The caller responses before hanging up.

Once Fitz reaches his office he contact Caldwell funds of Family Estates and set up a meet for later that same day.
