Oh hi there. You're back?! (Insert surprised face here) ..So because some of you are willing to take this unpredictable journey with me.. Here we go.


The beeping of the alarm clock startled Olivia and she quickly leaned over rubbing her eyes as she shut it off groaning, wanting a little more time to sleep. It was 6am on a Saturday the day she usually sleep in but she had to run to the office to put the finishing touches on an important case. She was a well known, well respected lawyer/fixer and had her own firm (OPA) in DC. Everyone wanted her to work for them. She sighed briefly, looking back at the clock. If she was going to make it to OPA early today and then to watch Miyah's play like she had planned she needed to get up ASAP. Attempting to get up, Still half asleep she felt something pressed up against her back, a hand around her waist and something hard up against her hips. Her mind immediately went to fitz and she had the sweetest smile on her face that faded in a matter of seconds when she heard that voice. A voice she dreaded, a voice that made her almost sick to her stomach.
"Good morning baby" Edison said.

Olivia jumped up out of the bed and on her feet staring at him like she'd just discovered a poisonous snake on her bed (which in another life he probably would've been).

"Edison what the fuck are you doing here?" She asked with an annoyed look on her face.

"Olivia I live here remember? Who exactly were you expecting to be in bed with you?"

"I know you live here" Olivia answered avoiding the last question. "But you weren't suppose to be back until tonight and if memory serves me correctly we no longer sleep in the same bed. Your room is down stairs" She said moving towards her closet and quickly throwing on her robe.

"Babe, Come on can we work this out? You know, talk about this some more before we just throw in the towel?" He said, trying his best to sound sincere.

"Edison, don't you think it's a little to late for that? What's left to talk about? You tell me how sorry you are? That you didn't mean to hurt me? That you were doing it for me for us? I've heard all that shit before. The minute you decided to go behind my back in an attempt to sell my business, steal my firm from under my nose, you were singning your own fucking death sentence. I half blamed myself because I gave you too much power in my company a company that had nothing to do with you. I took care of you. I was all you had, until you got on your feet. I decided to let you stay here for awhile until you found somewhere to live but you know what? this shit is over. I want you gone by the time I get back." With that she stormed pass him going into the bathroom but he gripped her by her arm and said

"Liv you're still my wife. I love you."

"Your wife? Your fucking wife? The divorce will be final very soon, And as far as love is concerned you wouldn't know what love is if I had the definition tattooed on your dick!" As soon as the words left her mouth she yucked her hand away from him storming into the bathroom slamming the door behind her.


Flashback:

"So son when is the wedding date?" Big Gerry's voice boomed through the phone.

"Dad I don't think were ready for that just yet. We're still getting to know each other."

"Nonsense! That's a sweet girl you've got there. Very pretty and has a strong head on her shoulders. I think you'd be a fool to let her go." big Gerry said with a tone that made all the hairs on fitz neck stand up. His dad never liked any one he brought home. Everyone was a gold digger to him. Now After meeting mellie one time, all of a sudden she's the best woman in the world? He was practically pushing fitz to get married. What the hell is his problem fitz thought to himself.

"Dad I'd appreciate if you stayed out of it ok? It has nothing to do with you. If and when the time is right ill send you an invitation." Fitz said.

"Fine Fine" Gerry shouted. changing the subject He said, "Have you come to your senses yet about-" immediately he was cut off when Fitz nearly shouted,

"Dad, I told you it's not happening ok!" I understand that it's been passed down for generations but that's not what I want to do with my life right now. I have to go. I'll talk to you later." with that, Gerry heard the click of the phone.

Gerry didn't like the way that ended. Things were moving to slow for him. He quicky dialed another number, he now knew too well.

A few months earlier Big gerry got a very interesting phone call from his old navy buddy Mark. The two decided to meet up because both of them knew it would not be wise to have conversations over the phone.

"Ger" mark nearly shouted as he entered into Gerry's office. "Well if it isn't the guy who said he'd never retire from the navy, standing in front of me in jeans and a baby blue sweater" Gerry smiled. "How the hell are ya?"

"Well if I hadn't had that damn heart attack l'd still be going strong" mark chuckled.

"Yeah yeah your heart was never really in it anyway" Gerry joked and both men laughed.

"So tell me, to what do I owe this visit?" Gerry asked finally wanting to get to the point.

And mark waisted no time.
"Well I see that your bout' ready to retire and that son of yours will be taking everything over soon" he said.

"Well I'm not to sure about that. I'm still working on that. He's got his license and all the necessities to run this company but right now he wants to become a lawyer and hope to be governor one day". Gerry said in a tone that told mark he really didn't want that for his son. Governor sounded good but fitz was his only son and he Was getting old so someone had to be stepping up to the plate real soon.

"Well that's no so bad" mark said raising an eyebrow.

"It is when your only son would rather try to change the world than take over his family's billion dollar company." He's all that's left. He's the only family I would trust with it and I'm damn sure not going to sell it to strangers.

"Well see that's kind of why I'm here. My only baby girl mellie is a very smart very beautiful woman shes all I have and before I leave this earth which may be sooner than later. I need to make sure she's well taken care of if you know what I mean" mark said.

"No but keep talking" Gerry said giving him a confusing look.

"I think my daughter would make a great wife for your son." Mark said standing up from his chair. Beginning to pace around the room.

"Oh really?" Said Gerry.

"Yeah she's focused she already have a few business degrees and now she's also studying law. I just need her well takin care of when I'm no longer here to do it. I think fitz would make the perfect Candidate." Mark said smiling at the use of the word 'candidate'. He really didn't care what fitz decided to do whether it was a lawyer, governor or pilot. Hell he didn't even have to work for all mark cared, fitz family was well known so Either way Mellie would be front and center and very very rich.

"I see" and by my son making your daughter a billionaire, what's in that for me?" Gerry asked also standing to his feet. Mark had some nerve, Gerry thought, coming in here basically telling him he wants his daughter to be rich so she needs to marry his son.

"Well" mark said. "What if I told you I'd make SURE that your son takes over the company instead of running for governor."

"And how the hell do you suppose you'd make that happen? I can't even make that happen and I'm his dad." Gerry said looking him dead in the eye.

"Well like I told you, my daughter is very special. She knows exactly how to get what she wants, and She can have anyone eating out of the palm of her hands within minutes" mark stated. After that the room went silent. The two men were standing face to face staring each other down like they were about to battle until a light knock came at the door.

"Hun someone's here to see you" Martha Gerry's wife said.

"Give me a minute sweetie" he shouted still looking mark square in the eye. Gerry was desperate, though he'd never show it. He'd do just about anything to make sure Fitz take over the family business.

"Ok" he said simply. "If you think this is possible, I'll give it a try MAKE IT HAPPEN!" His voiced boomed. With that Gerry walked out of the room leaving mark with a smile on his face."

"Easier than I thought" he said to himself.


Present:

Olivia walked into OPA, her heals clicking against the tile. She stormed into her office.

"Good morning to you too Abby shouted."

"I wonder what Edison did now" Quinn whispered as her and Abby walked into Olivia's office.
"Where are we with the jones case" Olivia said in an even tone, looking down at the file in her hand.

"We're ready to wrap up" Quinn said. "Just a few things for you to look over and sign first." She said handing her the folder she carried in her hand.

"Ok" Olivia said taking a seat waiting to hear the door close and when it didn't she looked up. "Is there anything else?"

"Cut the crap liv" Abby said rolling her eyes. "What happened? Is it that crazy ass soon to be ex-husband of yours Edison?"

"It's always Edison" Olivia said taking a deep sigh.

"You want to talk about it?" Quinn asked, "we can leave Harrison and Huck here to finish up while we go out for a quick walk" but before Olivia could answer, her phone rang. It was Fitz.

"I have to take this. We'll talk later" Olivia said with a weak smile and with that both women nodded and left her to her call.

"Hi" She whispered into the phone.

"Hi" his deep, sexy, angelic voice said. Hearing his voice immediately calmed her down.

"How are you" Olivia said.

"Better now that I'm hearing your voice. I haven't heard from you all week baby, is everything ok?

"Yeah" She lied.

"Liv?"

"Yeah?"

"What's wrong baby?"

"Nothing. I miss you that's all"

"Nice try but if you don't tell me what's wrong I swear I'm coming to track you down ASAP!

"You wouldn't"

"Try me!" He said

She sighed. "Edison is being Edison and I've just had enough that's all"

"What did he do? I'm going to kill him!"

"Babe, stop. We just had another fight. I told him I want him out by the time I get home. I'm just so stressed with this whole divorce, and him trying to get back into my good graces. Everyday he pulls out another trick trying to win me back. I'm just over it. I'm sure this is nothing compared to what you're going through with Mellie But I'm just glad this will be over soon."

"I'm sorry livvie. This will be over soon. ALL OF IT. And then I'll finally be able to publicly make you mine." Fitz said with a sigh. They were together but not publicly because they were both well known and they didn't want their relationship to be another factor in the divorce. Fitz knew mellie had her suspicions and he could couldn't care less about what she thought but he wanted to be very careful because protecting Olivia was his priority and he knew mellie would take whatever she got her hands on to use against him.

"I know" Olivia said Quietly.

"Am I going to see you today?" He asked, changing the subject.

"Why? Do you have something for me?" Olivia asked in a low seductive tone. God she missed this man.

"I do have something for you" he whispered. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to give it to you." Fitz said ever so softly, And with that Olivia could feel herself suddenly getting heated.

"You're a very very naughty man Mr Grant"

"You love it" he smiled.

"I love you" she said. And with that his heart melted.

"I love you too sweet baby." He said in a whisper.

They were met with few seconds of comfortable silence..

"Miyah's play is tonight, do you think you'll still be able to make it?" He asked.

"I never break promises" she said simply, with a smile. "How is she?"

"Umm.. She's as good as she's going to get living with mellie" he said, and she heard him sigh deeply. She knew this was a touchy subject for him so she remained silent, deciding it would be wise to let it go.. For now.

"She really likes you. I've always told her about you but after meeting you last week, you're all she talk about, which is surprising because she don't let people in that quickly" he said.

"Well can you blame her?" Olivia asked giggling.

"Not at all" Fitz said, laughing along with her. "You Are Everything" he smiled. Her cheeks turning a shade of red at his words.

"Well the feeling is more than mutual. She's the cutest, sweetest 7 year old I've ever met." Olivia said, As he smiled.

"I should get going, i have some work I need to finish up today. What time is the play?" She asked.

"It's at 7. I'll text you the address" he said.

"Ok babe"

"Do you know how much I love you?" He asked

"No" she smiled.

"Well I'll just have to show you later" he smirked.

"Goodbye Mr grant" she smiled, hanging up the phone. Her mood did a complete 360. She was suddenly feeling so much better. Talking to that man was like talking to God himself.
