This is the story of Fitz and Liv written by an obsessed OLITZ fan which happens to be me. The story picked where season 2 left off. Expect 1 or 2 chapters per week. Enjoy and feel free to comment. Thank you for reading.
Chapter1:
Olivia is upset at her Dad. After all she hasn't seen him in years. She thought he was dead since he cut off all contact. She hasn't seen him since the time he tried to scare her into marrying senator Edison Davis.
Rowan: Hello, Olivia
Olivia: Dad..., I thought you were dead? Why are you here?
Rowan: Aren't you glad that i'm here?
Olivia: What's going on? why are you scaring me again? It's pointless now because we are not together.
Rowan: Olivia, have you lost your mind. You have bigger things to worry about than me scaring you. Now that the world knows your relationship with the president, your life and his life and this country security are all at risk. I taught you better than that.
Olivia: What do you mean his life is in danger?
Rowan: We have been getting increasing threats regarding the president made by different groups from different enemy nations that goes back to his navy days. I approached him about the whole situation about a year ago. i specifically explained to him how dangerous it was for both him and the country to keep this relationship with you. He said he would handle it but he didn't.
Olivia: We were not together then.
Rowan: Then why did he feel the need to have Jake do surveillance on you?
Olivia: So, what's the next step?
Rowan: Jesus, Olivia. All you had to do was get the man elected. That's all. After you left the white house, you could have gone to any state but no, you had to stay in Washington, D.C.
Olivia: Where is Jake? I know he's working for B-613.
Rowan: Jake failed to follow orders so he's unavailable. You need to fix this Olivia. You have to fix it if you care at all for his life or yours. i won't be able to protect you forever.
Olivia: Release Jake from the hole. I will need him if i'm going to fix this. BtW was his mission to sleep with me?
Rowan: Why are you asking?
Olivia: I'm asking because i want the truth. Something you should try to give once in a while, dad. i am not a little girl anymore.
Rowan: His mission was to get between you and the president.
Olivia: Please drop me at OPA. This conversation is over.
Olivia ran to her office on a sunny Saturday knowing that eventually withing an hour, the press will be gathered there. She called the associates to come in and then made one more phone call to Cyrus.
Cyrus: I wasn't expecting to hear from you for a while? What's going on Liv?
Olivia: Someone leaked the info about the affair to the press. Aren't you watching the news?
Cyrus: Why do you sound so surprise? Didn't I tell you guys to be careful but instead you decided to go on a love fest with each other around your apartment.
Olivia: Okay, Cy. He's gonna have to make a statement about this asap.
Cyrus: Why do you care what he does, didn't you dump him?
Olivia: This issue is going to hurt his chances for re-election and you know that.
Cyrus: Wow, Olivia. instead of worrying about your career and your safety in this city, you're worrying about his re-election chances, how noble of you. Well, i'll get back to you. I have huge damage control to do now.
Harrison came in first and walked into Olivia's office and closed the door
Harrison: How are you holding up?
Olivia: I'm fine for now. We need a strategy to attack this and I need to make a statement to the press.
Harrison: are you going to deny the whole thing or are you going to follow the same advice we give to all clients which is tell the truth.
Olivia: It's not that simple. The truth could ruin both my career and the president's and put this country in great danger. Let's first found out what kind of proof they have. Then we decide how to tackle this.
Meanwhile, Quinn, Huck, and Abby entered OPA
Abby: What's going, Liv? It's Saturday morning. what new clients couldn't wait a couple hours?
Olivia is just starring at her. Quinn turns on the tv and both Abby and Quinn just turns at Olivia: You are the one sleeping with the president!
Cyrus runs to Blair house and found both Fitz and Mellie glued to the tv watching the news
Cyrus: Good morning Mr. President, We need you to return to the WH. We need a plan and release a statement asap on this.
Fitz: Did you release Olivia's name to the press, Mellie?
Mellie: No, I did not.
Fitz: Why should I believe you? You had a last card to play and you did.
Mellie: Like I said, i din't. I think with my head unlike some people and I was still thinking of the best way to deal with this.
Fitz: Cyrus, have you talked to Liv since this came out. We need to coordinate our efforts so the same info go out to the press.
Cyrus: Do you want to talk to her, Mr. President?
Fitz: (Looking straight at Mellie) No, I don't want to talk to her at this time. You handle the back and forth and fill me in.
Back to OPA where the press has already gathered awaiting a statement from Olivia. Huck and Quinn are working their magic to find out what kind of proof the press has. Harrison is helping Liv with the statement and Abby is a little distant while working on where the leak came from. it's just a matter of time before she gives Olivia a piece of her mind.(after all she put OPA in jeopardy by having an affair with the leader of the free world and yet she couldn't date David)
Cyrus call to Olivia
Cyrus: We have decided to deny the affair from our end and would like you to do the same on your end. The way i see it, that would cause less damage to both of you.
Olivia: I understand that but we can't make any decision on our side until we know for sure what kind of proof they have. That could negate any work done.
Cyrus: what are you saying, Liv. Are you thinking of telling the truth to the american people that you are the one the first lady was talking about in her interview?
Olivia: yes, Cy. That is a possibility. It all depends what kind of proof the press has?
Cyrus: Don't you think they would have shown on tv any kind of proof they had.
Olivia: We have to be sure, Cyrus.( and she hangs up)
Huck: i got it. i intercepted a call between one employee from the hospital named Jack to a friend named Kelly. Jack apparently was working a double shift the night the president visited you in the hospital and he overheard your conversation with the president over the nurse's micro. Kelly decided that the story would sell since the first lady already went on tv about the affair.
Olivia: Are you sure that's all they have? We need to be sure Huck. The WH already decided to deny the affair.
Once the details were confirmed, Harrison decided and Olivia agreed that the best course of action would be to deny the affair also. in addition, Olivia will need to convince Cy to have the first lady make a statement confirming that the affair wasn't with Olivia Pope and talk about their friendship. The most difficult part of this plan is for OPA to release pictures of Olivia and Jake to the press for cover ad she will also have to be more public with him. Olivia had a hard time accepting this.
Harrison: you seeing Jake for a while will definitely solidify the denial. people can see that you were in a loving relationship and continue to be. Since you worked on the Grant's campaign and have been closed friends to both him and the first lady, it's not impossible for him to go see you at the hospital in the middle of the night. He's the leader of the free world, he can visit a friend in the hospital in the middle of the night to avoid the press.
Back in her office, Olivia calls Cyrus to explain the plan. She also asks to see Fitz. She wanted to explain the Jake part of the plan to him herself. However, Cyrus doesn't think it's a good idea for these two to be together for two reasons. First, the press is watching their every move and two, Mellie will not let that happen. But since when did Fitz listened to anything Mellie had to say
