Happy Anniversary

His arms wrapped around her warm body as her chest rose and fell. She looked so serene as she slept. For as long as he could remember, his days did not start off right until he was the first to wake up and watch her. Little things such as that always bought him a great deal of comfort. To see that the woman next to him was real and not a dream. He started to kiss her neck and down to her collar bone. She stirred a little and he kept going.

"Fitz. Stop." Olivia mumbles as she pulls the covers over her exposed collar. Fitz grins and pulls the covers down so he can continue his kissing Fest.

"Happy anniversary, Livvie." His smooth voice tickles her neck as he starts to suck on her sweet spot.

"Leave me alone!" Olivia says, yanking back the covers and marching toward the bathroom. Fitz eyed her as she goes in and slams the door causing him to chuckle to himself. After a few seconds he hears the toilet flush and the water faucet running. He props his head up in his hand and stares at the door, waiting for her to emerge. She comes out just a little and stands in the door way. His eyes travel from her long toned legs all the way up to her beautiful deep brown eyes. He shakes his head at her and gives her a sad look. Her eyes grow wide as she realizes what he said before she darted toward the bathroom.

"Baby. I'm so sorry!" She says as she runs to him on the bed. Her small frame lays on top of him and he looks away from her.

"Baby you know how I am in the mornings. You love messing with me when I'm sleep and it couldn't be at a more worse time because I'm tired and asleep. Fitzy, I love you baby." Her voice is rich with sorrow and her hands palms his cheeks as she makes him look at her. He started smiling and Olivia mirrors him.

"It wouldn't be me if you aren't waking up to me kissing all over you. Stop being so beautiful while you sleep too. Eight years later and you still never fail to make me feel like the luckiest man in the world."

Olivia smiled and kissed him.

"Has it ever crossed your mind that you really are lucky? Lucky that your charm and good looks pulled me in for life."

Fitz chuckled and kissed her hard. She giggled and gave him a peck on the lips.

"I love you." He said in the most dreamy tone.

"I love you too, I love you this much." Olivia started kissing him, taking control as she sucked on the tip of his tongue and Fitz groaned. Olivia was planning on peppering kisses all over him but her lips couldn't leave his until the phone rang.

"Uhh! Who is that?!" She whined as she moved off of him. Fitz reached for the phone and answered it.

"Hey. What's wrong? Is this some type of joke? I really can't today. Come on it's- alright whatever I'll be there soon."

Fitz hung up and slammed the phone back down.

"Dammit!"

Olivia stared up at the ceiling fan cycling above her. She closed her eyes and sighed.

"I'm sorry honey. Im really sorry."

Fitz pulled her in, feeling her stiffen at his touch. Being a man in the community was a blessing and a curse. He was the town hero, the man that everyone looked up to. He was a fly boy who saved his own men.

"I promise, it will take me about three hours. Today is our day okay?"

Olivia looked up at him for the first time in minutes and gave him a slight smile.

"Okay. Tell Peter he owes us a new porch swing."

Fitz smiled and kissed her nose and then her lips.

"I love you so much."

"I love you more. Happy anniversary."

"Happy anniversary."

Fitz pulled up in the drive way and saw Peter standing outside waiting for him.

Fitz got out of his pick up truck and walked toward Peter.

"Fitz!"

Fitz smiled and grabbed his hand for a firm shake.

"Peter. You for what I asked for?"

"Of course I do! Come on inside."

The door bell rang and Olivia groaned. She stood up and dusted her knees off.

"Who is it!"

Olivia shouted as she drew closer to the front door. No one responded which made Olivia even more irritated.

"Who- Abigail! This is not the time."

Abby smiled and put down the basket of blue berry muffins.

"Clearly it's not the right time, you just called me Abigail."

Olivia opened the door wider and turned away back to her bedroom. Abby followed behind her, confused at her attitude.

"Liv, what the hell is wrong?"

Olivia got on all fours and stuck her hand under her dresser.

"Liv!"

Olivia ignored her again and kept filling under her dresser.

"No!"

She shouted as she dropped her head down in defeat.

"Okay.."

"I can't find my ring. I can't find my wedding ring and today is my anniversary. Today is our anniversary. Five years of marriage and this is the first time I've lost my ring. I can't believe this. He's going to notice, he's going to hate me, he's going to-"

Olivia stood up and sat on the bed. Abby sat the basket of muffins down and pulled two out.

"Here. Eat it."

Olivia took the still warm muffin and took a bite.

"It's going to be okay Liv. I promise. Have you checked the night stand and in the bathroom?"

"I've checked every where and it's literally no where in this house. I can't believe I lost it-" Olivia gasped and stood up. "Maybe someone stole it! Maybe someone broke into our house!"

Abby grabbed Olivia's wrist and jerked her back down.

"No one broke into the house. You Olivia Carolyn Grant lost the ring your husband Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III gave you."

Olivia gave Abby a knowing look and stood up again.

"Screw you. You are suppose to be my best friend. You are suppose to tell me that I am right, that someone stole my ring and I am not going crazy!"

"But you are! No one came into this house. Fitz is a navy guy, the man of the people in this town, people want him to run for mayor! No one in their right mind would break into this house."

Olivia sighed and covered her face with her hands.

"You're right. I lost it."

The sound of the front door opened and Olivia looked at Abby.

"Livvie. I'm back! Are you and Abby up there?"

Olivia and Abby looked at each other in horror.

"I need to go shopping. I can't be in this house with him. I need to find something new to wear let's. Go."

Abby grabbed the basket full of muffins and followed Olivia down stairs.

"Hi baby."

"Hi."

Olivia said as she hugged and kiss him.

"Abby and I are going to town. I need a new dress for dinner tonight. If you get hungry Abby made us muffins."

Abby held up the basket and smiled brightly at Fitz. Fitz nodded and smiled back as his attention when back to Olivia.

"Alright then. I'll see you later. I love you."

"I love you more."

Olivia gave him a quick kiss and was on her way.

"I look like a cheap whore. I'm not wearing this one Abby."

"Well buy it for later on tonight."

Olivia chuckled and shook her head.

The dress was a lace black dress that hugged Olivia perfectly but was not the kind of dress she wanted to wear out to dinner for her anniversary.

"I'm going to try on the champagne colored dress now."

Olivia went back into the dressing room and changed. Olivia looked in the mirror and smiled a 100 watt smile. The dress was absolutely perfect. Olivia opened the door and made her presences known.

"Now this one. Is it."

Abby looked up from her magazine and her mouth was left agape.

"Liv. It is perfect. Absolutely perfect."

Olivia smiled and nodded.

"So what did you buy him?"

"I didn't buy him anything but a-"

"Mrs. Grant!"

Olivia stopped and turned around and was met by little arms wrapped around her waist.

"Hi Ellie! How is your summer going sweet girl!"

"Good! I miss school Mrs. Grant."

Olivia patted the little girls back and grinned.

"Oh I miss you all too. So very much."

The little girl smiled and then let go.

"My mommy is leaving now so I will see you at school. By Mrs. Grant."

"That never gets old does it?"

"Not at all. I'm going to head home. It's close to time for me to get dressed. I'll call you after dinner tonight! Bye Abs!"

Olivia took off in the other direction and Abby yelled at her.

"Wait! You didn't even tell me what you got him!"

"Livvie."

Olivia walked step by step closer to him. Fitz gazed up at her coming down stairs like the queen she is.

"You look incredible."

Olivia blushed as she reached out to hold his hand. Fitz took it and bought her into him.

"Mmm my wife. My lovely wife of five years. I love you so much Olivia."

"I love you so much Fitzgerald. So very much."

Fitz held onto her hand as he ushered her to the truck.

"Fitz."

She whispered softly like a prayer. She looked at the sight before her and her heart felt like it would melt away.

"I know how you enjoy being alone. Alexandria's is the fanciest restaurant in this little town but it doesn't beat us being up here at our favorite spot."

Their first date was up here on the top of that hill. You could see all of Jericho. The candles glowed brightly and the sound of Frank Sinatra singing in the background woke Olivia up out of her thoughts.

"Tonight's menu is your favorite; roast with asparagus, sautéed zucchini and squash and for desert, peach cobbler use with the peaches from your everlasting peach tree."

Olivia stomach growled and she watched him pull her chair out.

Olivia sat and Fitz pushed her chair in. Something that he did everyday since they'd met but the feeling of a swarm of butterflies taking over her stomach. His chivalry never got old.

"Bon appetite."

"How did you cook all if this and keep it hot?"

Fitz looked up at her and smirked.

"I have my ways. I'm not just a fly boy."

Olivia giggled and Fitz became lost in her.

"Eight years together and five years of marriage later and I still find a way to get lost in you. Those big doe eyes, richer than the coffee I drink every morning. Those lips. The lips I kiss every day and wish I could kiss every breath I take. Then that smile. That smile that caught my eyes the first moment I met you. I thought only the children you taught could make you smile that bright, but then I realized that, that smile is also reserved for me. That smile is engraved in my mind and my heart. Your body is my seventh sense. It's imprinted on my fingers and my mouth. I am the luckiest man that has ever walked this earth. You are my life. You are my everything. You are the love of my life."

Olivia's eyesight was shot. She couldn't see at all due to the tears steady filling her eyes and overflowing onto her plumped cheeks.

"I'm sorry baby. I was going to say all of that when I gave you your gift but. I couldn't help it."

Olivia shook her head and grabbed his hand across the table.

"No. No. Baby, it's fine. It's more than fine baby. I love you."

"I love you so much. I swear it feels like I don't say it enough. I feel like I don't show it enough I-"

"I feel the same way. I feel like I could spend the rest of my life telling you every minute of the day that I love you and that I'm in love with you but it still wouldn't be enough. You make me so happy. Happier than I didn't know was humanly possible."

They stared at each other and leaned in for a kiss. They smiled content at the feel of each other lips and then finally started eating. After finishing up, Olivia moved into his lap and stared up at the stars.

"Livvie. Where's your ring?"

Olivia dropped her hand down from his cheek and Fitz reached for her hand.

"Please tell me you forgot to wear it. Please tell me you took it off while showering and left it in the bathroom."

"I'm sorry! Baby, I am so sorry! I really and truly don't know what happen to it!"

Fitz gave her a look and quirked his eyebrow. Olivia dropped her forehead on his shoulder.

"Fitz I'm sorry! I am really really sorry! I am careful I am really careful I don't know how it happen I really just don't know."

Fitz grabbed the nape of her neck and she lifted her head up and stared at him with the saddest eyes.

"Olivia. That ring was a symbol of our love. A symbol of how devoted we are to each other. A symbol of me buying my first big purchase without the help from my parents. I bought that ring with the little money I had. And it might have not been the fanciest but I was proud of that ring and I thought you were proud too."

"Fitz! I am! You think I miss placed it on purpose? I would never."

"I was proud of it but I'm even more proud to buy you a new one."

He reached in his pocket and pulled out a black box. Olivia gasped and slapped his arm.

"You asshole!"

Fitz chuckled and open the box. The ring glistened at her.

"It's the same one as the first one except it has diamonds on it. And look at the inside."

Olivia grabbed the ring and looked in the inside of it. Livvie + Fitz forever

Olivia covered her mouth and Fitz smiled.

"I love you Olivia."

"I love you too. I love you. I love you. Put it on me."

Fitz took the ring and placed it on her ring finger where it belonged. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him repeatedly.

"Now it's my turn. Fitz, you have been wearing me out. Absolutely wearing me out to the point where it hurts to walk. After you get home I fake sleep so that you don't want to have sex with me. But I am thankful for that. I am thankful for you loving me emotionally and physically. And now we can start fixing up the first room. The first room for our baby that will be here in February."

Fitz eyes grew wide and he held onto Olivia to ensure she wouldn't fall out of his lap.

"A baby. We're pregnant! We're having a baby! Baby! We are having a baby!"

Olivia giggled and nodded.

"Oh my goodness. This is the best the absolute best Livvie! Oh my goodness I'm going to be a daddy. I'm going to be a daddy to a little boy or girl who will have your smile and your cheek bones with my eyes. We are having a family! Livvie! are you okay baby? Are you feeling well? Do you need a foot massage? Some more food? Some-"

"Fitz, Fitz, Fitz" Olivia palmed his face and he stopped talking. "I'm okay. I'm fine the baby is fine and growing. I'm two months. I wanted to tell you as soon as I found out but I wanted to wait for our anniversary. It's another step in our life. We are starting a family. We are having a baby."

Olivia was definitely beaming with joy and happiness. Fitz was matching her excitement and couldn't stop smiling. Everything was finally whole. Finally complete.

Fitz drove with one hand holding Olivia's with the same smiles that they had from the hilltop dinner. Olivia lifted their hands up and kissed his. He turned to her and smiled.

"I love you."

"I love you"

The bright lights flashed through as the truck collided into them.

"Livvie. Where is my wife. Where is Olivia."

"Sir you need to calm down."

"No! Don't tell me what I need to do! Where the hell is my wife! Someone tell me where she is!"

Fitz woke up and felt worse than he did before. His body ached and now his heart ached. No one would tell him where Olivia was. No one would say if she was. He couldn't bring his mind to think the worse. She was somewhere in a hospital bed most likely calling out for him. He rolled over and grabbed the remote and pressed the call button for the nurses station.

"Mr. Grant?"

"I'm going to ask this question. One more time. One last time and if I don't receive an answer so help me god I will get out of this bed and hurt everyone in my path."

The young nurse swallowed and then took a deep breath.

"I can wheel you to see her."

Fitz entered the room and saw her laying there. Fragile and small. He was upset he was hurt and mad as to why he was up and she wasn't.

"Mr. Grant, I'm doctor Varma. Your wife is alive. She's okay. She broke her right leg and her right arm. She hit her head pretty hard but we were able to stop the bleeding so she should be just fine. It's a true miracle that she is alive and only came out with a broken leg and a broken arm"

Fitz let out a long sigh and covered his mouth. They were just together. They were just confessing their undying love and- the baby. Their baby. What happen to their baby? His throat felt dry and began to burn. He wanted to ask but how could he? His wife was laying there; a question mark hanging over her. He couldn't bare to hear about their baby.

"She's pregnant. Is she still-"

"No sir. We-"

"I don't want to hear it. Say no more."

Fitz didn't have time to grieve. He had to be strong for the both of them. He had to remain calm and hold on to the fact that she would wake up soon.

A knock on the door startled them.

"Olivia. Where is our daughter."

Fitz grimaced at the sound of her mother's voice.

"Oh my god. My baby. What did you do to her!"

"Ma'am I need you to stop. If you cannot control yourself you will be asked to leave. Your daughter is stable and doing fine she broke a leg and an arm she had bleeding in the brain and we managed to stop it. Any questions? We will be checking on her every hour."

Maya Pope and Eli Pope stood by the other side of Olivia. Fitz held her hand and prayed for her to wake up. He couldn't go through life without her. He couldn't dare breathe without her. He wouldn't.

The sun beamed into the room and Fitz raised his head to check on her. She was laying there not looking at him and not calling his name. He prayed all night hoping she would wake up and say his name. Maya and Eli stirred in their sleep and Fitz felt thankful that they were asleep.

"Mmm."

Fitz eyes reverted toward Olivia's.

"Livvie."

"Mmm where. Where am I?"

"Oh thank God. Livvie, we had a wreck and-"

"Who are you?"

I finally decided to upload this story. Its been knocking on my door! I hope you all enjoyed it!
