It's really sad what's happening with the show...

I'd really, really appreciate comments!

I do not own Scandal or any of its characters.

"They both wanted to feel each other in the most intimate way, but they were so lost in each other's eyes that it would have to wait. They were immersed in one another.

After a while they fell asleep, Olivia in Fitz's arms, and Fitz's face in between her hands...

Life would be different from now on."

Aimee woke Olivia up almost every night at this time, so, even though she didn't hear crying tonight, Olivia still woke up. She realized Fitz wasn't in the bed and was about to get up to look for him and to check on Aimee when she heard his soft voice through the baby monitor.

"You are so beautiful my little princess... You look just like your mommy. She is the most beautiful woman on earth, you know? This is too bad for me, though. How am I supposed to protect two of the most beautiful ladies on earth? You think I'll need a gun?" And he chuckled.

"Do you need to be changed babygirl? Let's get changed, what do you say?"

Olivia heard Aimee coo and Fitz move around. After a couple minutes Fitz started talking again. "Okay little princess, we are done."

It was again quiet for a minute and then she heard him. "Wanna come to daddy? Come here, little one. There you are."

He went to the rocker at the corner of the room and sat down with Aimee on his shoulder.

"I love you so much little girl. I'm sorry I wasn't here before, but I promise it won't happen again. I will always be there for you and your mommy." He sighed and then continued. "I love your mommy so much, I have been in love with her since the moment I laid eyes on her. She is the most amazing woman - you'll see as you grow up. She is everything..." After a moment of silence, he continued. "She is afraid of love though... Unfortunately she was raised believing love is a weakness. She gets scared and runs when love becomes overwhelming. I won't let her anymore though. She will learn what an amazing gift love is. She will learn that love is a strength. We will teach her, right babygirl? I love both of you so much. I promise you babygirl, we will be happy, and you will grow up seeing and feeling love, every day... And just like you will learn what love is, your mommy can learn too. We are a family, soon we will be a real family, and we will learn and grow together."

Olivia had been listening to all these from her bedroom, through the baby monitor. She had an overwhelming desire to go and throw herself into his arms, but she didn't because she didn't want to interrupt him. She wanted to listen to everything he had to say to their baby when he thought she wasn't hearing them. With each sentence her love for him grew even more. With each sentence, she felt emotions rise up.

She couldn't stop her tears, but they weren't sad tears. Yes, it hurt whenever she remembered their past because it was still so new, but regardless, it was the past now, so it wasn't an impossibly paralyzing pain. It would take some time to get rid of it fully, but now that they were together, she knew it would happen. Her tears right now were mostly of happiness, peace, love, hope... She was hearing the love of her life talking to the baby they made together. She was hearing how much he loved both of them...

And that, was everything...

Fitz was on the rocking chair with Aimee on his shoulders. He was rubbing her back and humming a lullaby. It wasn't long before the baby's breathing evened out and he knew that she was asleep. He sat still for a couple minutes so she wouldn't wake up when he put her down. After he put her in the crib, he covered her body and caressed her head softly before whispering, "good night, babygirl".

With that he started walking to Olivia's room. He thought she would be sleeping, so he was surprised to see her sitting on the bed, looking at him with teary eyes.

She extended her arm and motioned for him to go to her. He quickly obliged, sitting on the bed and pulling her to straddle him. Her face was nestled in the crook of his neck and he was holding her tightly, rubbing her back, putting gentle kisses on her temple, and breathing her scent in.

"I'm sorry for hurting you, Fitz. And thank you for still loving me, I was miserable without your love, and I can't live without it again. Please don't ever leave me." Olivia said.

"Never, Livvie. Never." Fitz replied, holding her tightly.

"Why do you still love me?" Olivia asked.

He loosened his grip on her so he could look at her face. He put his hand under her chin and raised her head, and waited until they were eye to eye. He then caressed her face gently and replied, "It was never even a choice, Olivia. It has never been a choice. You took my heart the moment I laid eyes on you, and I've been in love with you ever since. I will always, always love you."

My babies... I love them... They look so sad these days. I hope they are alright, and I hope there is no problem between them.
