''Hi.'' Olivia whispered back.
''You almost died.'' He choked out
''Yes.''
''Don't do it again.'' He said above her lips before he kissed her.
Olivia said the same thing to him after he got shot. He couldn't imagine the pain she was going through until he had to go through the same thing. He was so ready to give it all up to have her in his life forever. He didn't know how much he couldn't breathe without her until he didn't have her. He wasn't ready for that feeling no time soon.
''Fitz, I saw my parents.'' Olivia told him as the tears began to fall
''In heaven?''
''No, they told me it was the transition place. I guess the place where you meet your loved ones so you guys can cross over together. They told me I wasn't going to die but they were there to talk to me. I have always talked to my parents about the men I am dating and I was wondering if they hated me for falling in love with a married man.'' She paused as she saw his face contort, when he didn't say anything she continued
''They don't hate me or you, they just wish it was under different circumstances. Fitz, my mother touches Sophia. They have bonded, That is all I ever wanted was for my mother to meet her grandchild. For her to tell me that made every doubt go away. Fitz, having gone through everything we have been through I can finally say I am ready. I am ready to tell the world I love you, tell the world how you have my heart. I am done pretending I am okay with you being married to Mellie. Whenever, however and wherever you want to tell people I will be there by your side.''
She watched as the biggest smile spread across his face.
''Olivia, you have no idea how happy that makes me. I have some news I would like to share with you but I need for you to be better. When you get back on your feet I will tell you.'' He kissed her before walking to the door.
''Jerry and Karen are dying to see you. Mellie is also here, I hope that is ok.'' He asked wearily
''Send my troops in.''
''Liv! Oh my god you scared me half to death! Do not ever do that again!'' Karen said through her tears as she walked into Olivia's hospital room
''I am okay Kare, calm down sweetie.'' Liv soothed her she rubbed Karen's back with one arm and held Jerry in the other. He couldn't speak so she just held them both as they all cried. Fitz had to excuse himself and Mellie sat on the bed fighting back tears of her own as she rubbed Olivia's leg in comfort.
''I am okay you guys, I am alive and I am breathing and I will not be going anywhere anytime soon. Who will raise Sophia?'' she asked trying to lighten the mood.
''Ha, you're right. Dad would go crazy.'' Jerry finally said able to speak now that he let out his cry.
''Hi Mellie.''
''Hi liv.''
They stared at each other silently speaking with their eyes.
''Olivia I am sorry for the way I have treated you in the past, I would like to call a truce.''
''As would I Mellie.''
They shook hands and Olivia pulled her into a hug. She needed Mellie to know she did not hate her. Mellie wanted to tell Olivia about the divorce but she knew Fitz needed to tell her. Mellie also wanted to tell Olivia about the baby that she was having with Al. But decided to wait until Fitz told her about the divorce.
XxX
3 weeks later- February 2014
''Alright Ms. Pope still keep it easy. No driving for another 4 weeks.'' The doctor told her as he wheeled her out of the hospital to meet Fitz at the back entrance.
''I got it Doc. Trust me I won't be driving any time soon.''
''Hey there you! Ready to go back home. Sophia misses you.'' Fitz said as he grinned from ear to ear.
He was so ready to take Olivia to a house they had together, well it was in her name but he planned on moving with her once he resigned. He still needed the divorce to be finalized which will be final in a few weeks. He hasn't told her yet. He decided to tell her tonight after everything has settled.
''Yes, I am ready to get to my bed and my baby girl.''
Olivia missed Sophia so much but did not want her to visit while she was hooked up to all those tubes. Even though Soph was too young to even remember what happened 20 minutes ago she still did not want her there.
It was late that evening when everyone settled down. Cass and Harrison went to their room and Abby had a date with David. Huck went to his house out in back and Olivia and Fitz just put Sophia down when Quinn said she had a date and was heading out. She asked if they needed anything and they told her no.
''Liv, you hungry?''
''No, I ate earlier, I am just so happy to be home.''
''You and me both. Liv I have to tell you something.''
''Ok, but can we talk upstairs? I want to get in my night clothes and lay in bed. I am exhausted.''
''Sure baby, come on.'' He picked her up because he didn't want her walking up the steps.
''Fitz I can walk you know.''
''I do. But I like holding you.'' He kissed her nose
''HA, ok Mr. Macho.''
As she changed Fitz was beginning to get very nervous.
''Oh lord Fitz, Your shaking. What is wrong? Tell me'' she said as she slid underneath the covers and patted for him to lay next to her
''Okay Liv, before you get mad just hear me out.'' He took a deep breath and she shook her head telling him to continue and that she wouldn't interrupt.
''So when I received the call that you were in an accident, something inside of me changed. So many thoughts came running through my mind, but the main one was how would I live without you? No answer came to me, so I made a promise. I promised that if you survived I would resign from being president. Not only am I lying to America about my marriage I am lying to them about who my heart really belongs to. Plus I no longer want tit. I want you, I want to raise a family with you. Grow old with you and watch our grandkids play on our front yard. I filed for divorce when Sophia was born. Mellie signed the papers a month later. Our divorce will be final in like two weeks, once I get conformation I will tape my resignation and sally will be sworn in. I want to take on the world with you liv and I need you to say you will be in this with me. '' He let out the breath he didn't even know he was holding in as he waited for her to speak.
''Like I said in the hospital. I am with you. I am ready, whenever wherever and however. We will tell the world and we can fully be happy.''
''I love you Olivia.''
''I love you Fitz, let's get some sleep.''
They held each other until they fell into a blissful slumber.
