One year ago.
2011
Olivia laid in a hospital bed, tears rolling down her face. She wiped them off vigorously, but couldn't stop them from falling. "She's beautiful" a deep Australian voice rings over the busy hallway.
Olivia weeps too hard to respond. Her bitter cry jabbed as his heart.
He had never seen her cry this hard.
"Who is the father?"
Olivia caught her breath just enough to mumble "Don't – Don't ask me that." Her mouth opened to let out another wail, but she shut it. She forced her mouth to shut. Her body shook. "Can I see her, just one more time?" she tried to say without her voice wavering, but she was unsuccessful as her voice rose and fell from the unstable emotions running through her veins.
"No Liv."
She breaks down again. Morning to the pit of her stomach. Steven takes a step forward to comfort her, but she takes hold of her feelings immediately. She didn't want comfort, she didn't want anyone to touch her, she didn't want to answer questions, and she didn't want to be in the room any longer.
Steven paused as she took a deep breath, a hand on her vacant womb. The baby she's grown to love in the past nine months was gone, never for her to see again.
She turned in her hospital gown and stood up, "No one knows about this".
"Got it" agreed Steven.
Olivia pulled her shoes from under the bed and lined them up.
A nurse entered. "Hi Mrs. And Mr. Andrews, your baby girl is safely in the care of her new anonymous parents." Announced the nurse proudly. She had seen cases like this daily so it didn't really effect the nurse like it did most people.
Olivia began packing her things.
"Ma'am you have another couple hours to rest."
"No thank you." Professional Olivia pulled on her underwear and pants, the nurse left the room "Look away"
Steven turned around. As Olivia took off the gown and pulled on her shirt and a coat. "Ready?" Olivia moved past him briskly, but he caught her arm.
"Liv"
"I'm fine." Olivia stated but she wasn't. They had placed her new born baby girl in her arms. Golden skin like fresh brown sugar, soft and smooth like silk, her tiny eyes, a hazel brown like Fitz's grandmother, her cheeks rosy, and her hair soft and in an abundance.
Her tiny pink perched lips koo'ed for the milk of her mother's breast. Olivia cheated… she did wrong. Sending the nurse to get her a camera she supposedly left in the waiting room, Olivia opened her shirt and breast fed the baby that stole her heart.
She called Steven only to make a plan to escape the deal she had made, but when Steven arrived with shock that she was even pregnant, he read the contract and did what he knew was best. He helped Olivia realize that there was no backing out of this.
He read the contract to her, and though she tried to keep it together, she finally uttered the hardest words she's ever had to utter "here" she said weakly, handing the baby over to Steven.
Steven took the baby, and if it wasn't already hard enough, the baby broke into a cry, the first heartbreaking squeal from her new born, was from her separation. Olivia had to hold onto the bed posts to stop herself from leaping from the bed and taking her baby back. Tears rolled down her face, as she held on the bed.
And from there Steven handed the baby to the nurses in the hallway only to return with the response of "She's beautiful"
Olivia left the Hospital with her head held up, clothes appropriately fitted, but her heart was in a million pieces. Worse than a million, a billion pieces. This was indeed unrecoverable, she would long for her beautiful baby girl for the rest of her life. What hurt the most was her daughter's cry.
The baby only cried when she was taken away from her, which meant the baby wanted to stay with her mother as well. Midway in the street Olivia stopped ready to cry again, but a deep breath allowed her to suck it in before Steven noticed.
From there she and Steven drove away.

The Office of Olivia Pope.
It was early in the morning, papers scattered across her desk, Olivia stood in her office starring out at the city before her.
"Oh so I guess I'm early. Do you want coffee?" Said a female voice behind Olivia.
Olivia responded quickly, not expecting the voice. Liv turned packing up the paper work on her desk and stuffing it into a cabinet which she locked with a key.
"No Thanks" Olivia said as she walked around Quinn.
Quinn remained in the office quietly. There had been rumors going on that Olivia was behind something that had to do with the death of Gidden and Amanda Tanner, just because of the secrecy dealing with her sources.
Of course Quinn ignored the rumors, and defended Olivia every time… but she thought that it wouldn't hurt to check up on a couple documents that passed through Olivia's office once in a while.
Quinn looked back, Olivia was in the break room. Quinn grabbed a paper clip and picked the lock, before pulling the drawer out carefully. She pulled out a couple of the top sheets, before she spotted Olivia emerge out of the break room. Luckily for Quinn, Olivia was looking at her watch.
Quinn folded the papers and closed the drawer quickly, before moving out around the desk.
It wasn't long before the team showed up and Olivia began handing out things to do, but Olivia kept Quinn by her side that day.
"Abby go to the station find out what exactly they have against Lance Thomas, Steven I need information on the autopsy,"
"Gotcha" Steven turns bumping into Quinn on accident.
"Harrison bring Laura Anderson to the office, we have to ask her a couple questions to see if there are any loop holes in her story, Huck I need all surveillance footage with in a four block radius of the murder, whoever was giving the orders was watching as well, and Quinn I need you to stay with me, don't say a word just nod when I look at you is that clear?"
Quinn nodded as though there was a choice.
"Everyone meet me back here before twelve." Olivia requested.
It wasn't until Quinn excused herself for a bathroom break, that she even had the chance to look at the file. Inside was an investigation. She turned the page, something about a missing person. Quinn flipped over another page, her eyes growing large like saucers.
She couldn't believe it. "Olivia had a daughter, a baby."
"Quinn, we have to go." Olivia mentions from the bathroom door. Quinn stands flushing.
"Uh yeah, yeah okay." Quinn mouths 'OMG'
