A/N: Here is chapter 1 of the new story. Season 3A spoilers ahead. We be visiting Olivia and Fitz angst and Vermont as well. We will see some other familiar faces from my other stories along the way. Let me know what you think as you join me on the next journey

Olivia rolled over in bed. The sunlight was coming through the skylight in the room. She could hear the kids downstairs. They were running around, making all kinds for ruckus as kids often did. The room was bright from the sun as she sat up in bed getting her bearings. Kids...She heard them giggling and running around again. She stood up and wandered around the room. It was bathed in a fuzzy glow. The room was beautiful. The house was beautiful. Olivia reached for her robe and put it on before walking out into the hallway. She walked slowly over to the railing and looked down into the living room and open concept kitchen. This house was their dream. She knew it was their dream. She walked down the stairs and approached the first of the children. The little girls, dark brown eyes lit up upon seeing her mother standing at the bottom of the stairs. The girl was a perfect combination of all the qualities in Fitz and herself. She was exactly as Olivia had envisioned their children to look.

"Mommy, you're awake." The little girl said as her brothers and sisters joined her and stood around their mother.

Olivia looked around the room. The house finally looked lived in. They were living in their house in Vermont with their kids. She and Fitz were finally living their dream.

Olivia looked at the group of kids around her. Four she had four beautiful children with Fitz. They were all perfect...everything was perfect."

Olivia reached down and picked up the youngest child. "Mama." Olivia smiled upon hearing the baby call her that.

"Yes, Mama is awake. No thanks to all of you and your ruckus this morning. Where is your father?" Olivia asked as she moved toward the kitchen. She still didn't understand why the entire house was bathed in a fuzzy fog like hue. Olivia put the youngest in the highchair and turned to see only two of the three remaining children in the kitchen. She turned to her oldest and asked. "What happened to your sister?"

"I don't have a sister." The little girl replied.

"Yes you do. Olivia turned to look into the living area for the girl but it was all foggy and white the girl was gone and the house was...disappearing. Was that even possible? Why was their house disappearing before her eyes. "What's happening?" She whispered. The little girl didn't respond she just looked at Olivia with her big brown eyes. Where did your older brother go?" Olivia asked frantically looking around their house for the eight year old boy with the curly hair and blue eyes just like Fitz's.

"I don't have an older brother?"

Olivia looked at the girl, her daughter. "You do and you have a younger brother? Olivia turned to find her baby boy gone along with his highchair. The room was closing in around her as she frantically searched the eerily quite and foggy house of the missing children.

"I don't understand! Where are they? Where is your father? Where is Fitz? Olivia stopped running and looked around her. She stood in the middle of what was the living room it was consumed with a thick white fog. The little girl that greeted her earlier was staring at her...and then she was gone. Olivia collapsed to the floor and the fog consumed her. What is happening to me? Where am I?

Olivia reached out for her phone but couldn't reach it. She couldn't see her world was fuzzy and red...red like blood. She was bleeding. Why was she bleeding? What happened to her? She couldn't remember anything. The only thing she knew as that she was lying on the floor of her apartment, bleeding and needed help.

Olivia struggled to reach her phone. Her hands were wet. The floor was wet with blood? At least that's what she thought it was. She hit one on the speed dial and hoped she wouldn't pass out until someone at the office picked up the phone.

OOO

Olivia came too in excoriating pain. She couldn't see. she was blinded by a myriad of flashing lights. She felt like she was floating. She could hear muffled sounds all around her but couldn't make them out." She felt like she was being lifted and then she was still again. She saw more light and heard more muffled sounds She wanted it all to end. She wanted the pain to go away. She wanted to back in Vermont with Fitz in their house. She wanted to live the dream. She was consumed once again by the white fog. She felt cold and then overwhelming warmth. The hazy fog parted and Fitz was standing before her in their house. "Livvie."

"Fitz. What is this place?"

"This house is yours...our...I had it built for us."

"I wanted you to see it once, once before I sell it. I wanted you to see the dream." She run to him. Her injuries had all but disappeared in the hazy fog...her own personal heaven. She sank into his deep strong, embrace. She drew life from the deep, passionate kissed they shared. She needed him. She knew that her life was dependant on the love of her life. Olivia's life was dependant on Fitzgerald Grant. When the kiss broke Olivia looked into his eyes. They were sad and deeply broken."What is this place?"

"It's whatever you want it to be." Fitz held her and looked deep into her eyes. "But you can't stay long or we can never be together. I can't live without you Livvie. I can't breathe without you. I can't sleep without you. I exist for you. so you need to fight it Livvie. Fight so that we can be together. Whatever is wrong. Whatever is keeping you here with me we will fix it. We are in this together. " Fitz cupped her face in his hands. "You have to go back."

"I don't want to." Liv pleaded.

"You have to. You don't have a choice . You're only choice is to fight for us and the only way to do that is to go back."

"Fitz...you'll never forgive me." Fitz brushed the tears away from her eyes

"I will, Livvie. You'll see." He kissed her and then took her hand and began to walk away. As Fitz retreat into the fog. Liv felt his grip slipping away figure by finger. He looked back and smiled at her and said. "You'll see."
