Chapter 2: Two Families – One "Beating" Heart…
"Family isn't always blood. It's the people in your life who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what." – Unknown
"What Did You Do?"
"UNCLE FITZ!" Arabella and Anastasia Fitz's nieces scream running down the massive staircase.
"AUNT LIBBY!" Sebastian and Ginny bellow running down the stairs behind Fitz's two nieces. Ginny is holding her little brother's hand, as they come down the stairs, helping him to keep up.
"UNCLE FITZ!" Benjamin and Nathaniel, Fitz's twin nephews holler even louder stomping behind Sebastian and Ginny.
"AUNT LIBBY!" Emma and Alex yell keeping up with others as they hunt for Olivia and Fitz as they almost topple into one another coming down the stairs.
Fitz quickly places Olivia onto the floor hearing four voices coming with the stampede of elephant feet along with it. "Little kid" shoes click and clatter against the flooring in the ballroom as Fitz shields Olivia behind him giving her time to adjust her gown.
"You are in so much trouble Mister," she whispers into his ear fixing her dress and the rest of herself before they are spotted.
He shivers as the goosebumps appear on his body. They trade places quickly once she is "presentable." He stands behind her "adjusting" his pants, willing himself to calm down. "I can't wait Sweetheart," he murmurs into her ear. His eyes rake over her body. God he wants her desperately right now.
"Well we can't because our nieces and nephews are on the hunt for us," she whispers shielding them in the room from the kids.
He turns her to face him. "I like that - OUR nieces and nephews Livy." He raises her left hand to kiss HIS engagement ring.
His other large hand covers her stomach. Her heart flutters. "God I can't wait to start making babies with you." He crashes her into his body. Fitz is not doing himself any favors. Instead of calming down, he's working himself UP all over again. He leans his head close to hers for another kiss.
"WHERE ARE THEY," Nathaniel and Benjamin call out. Fitz manages to bury his head into her neck to stifle a laugh.
"Fitz stop it," Olivia snaps in a whisper. She pushes them behind a large pillar.
"HEY WE KNOW YOU ARE IN HERE," Emma and Alex call out into the room at the same time.
"We watched Aunt Libby go inside and neither of you came out," Ginny recounts in a perfect voice.
"Yah Aunt Lib's come out with The President," Sebastian giggles. "Wait do I call him Uncle Fitz now," the little boy thinks out loud.
"You might as well," Anastasia explains to Sebastian, wrapping her arm around him.
"It won't be long before Uncle Fitz marries your Aunt Libby," Arabella winks at Ginny. "I can't wait! We are going to have a new aunt."
"Aunt Libby is the BEST Aunt you'll ever have," Alex boasts. Olivia blushes. "She's not just good at Math. She's good at ALL the other subjects."
"Cool," Sebastian jumps in. They are still looking around the room. Olivia and Fitz keep moving around the room staying hidden. "Because my brother and I suck at Math. Uncle Fitz kind of stinks at it too."
Olivia covers her mouth to prevent herself from laughing.
"Bro," Benjamin glances to his brother, "Do you think Uncle Fitz and Aunt Libby will let us ALL stay in the White House with them. Like ALL EIGHT of us. Alone..." His suggestion causes Fitz's eyes to widen. Olivia sees the sheer look of horror on his face. He's already shaking his head NO. Only Olivia can see him.
"Could you imagine the fun we could have here with both of them?" Alex answers agreeing with the Benjamin.
"That would be so much fun," Emma pipes in.
"If we can pry Aunt Libby away from Uncle Fitz, she could take all the girls shopping," Arabella shares a knowing glance with her sister.
Anastasia turns to Ginny. "Your Aunt likes shop right?"
"Well duh. She is a well-dressed woman right. My Grandma Miss Alice always tells us, "You are not going out of this house in public looking like some walking mess." Now that Aunt Libby is going to marry your Uncle and become FIRST LADY," that is when Ginny stops talking.
Fitz wraps his arms around his fiancée pulling close. His chest is pressed up against her back. His large hands totally cover her flat stomach. Her hands go over the top of his connecting their hands. They should come out, but they are enjoying eavesdropping on this conversation and sneaking around the room closing the distance between them and the kids.
"Do you actually think OUR Uncle Fitz," Nathaniel chastises in a sarcastic tone, "is going to allow your Aunt Olivia is out his sights any time soon you can forget it."
Fitz now bites his bottom lip to prevent himself from laughing. They crouch down behind a table. They are fairly close to the kids. Olivia glares into Fitz's eyes, warning him to not make a sound. She whispers, "Put your hand in your mouth so they don't hear us if you have too?"
He closes the distance between their faces, brushing his lips just over her ear. "I rather put something else in my mouth my beautiful sexy fiancée," he growls. His hand reaches forward finding the hem of her dress. This man just will NOT stop touching her. "I want to place ALL your special parts in my mouth Livy."
"Fitz," she breathes.
"I can't wait to taste you," he tongue licks the spot just underneath her ear. "Then you can taste yourself when I kiss you. HARD."
His words send her falling backwards into his arms. The kids hear her slip and the thud onto the floor.
"You hear that sound," Ginny states, as her eyes squint in the room.
"Yup. The two love birds are close," Emma winks.
Ginny waves for all eight of them to congregate in the center of the room. Out of the corner of her eye, Ginny sees a nearby chair by a table move. She knows where Olivia and Fitz are hiding. "Okay here is the plan," she whispers giving the group instructions. She points out directions and then in a matter of moments the kids slink off to find their mutual Aunt and Uncle.
"Shit," Olivia growls at Fitz. "They are coming for us now," she whacks him on the leg. She gives him instructions and of course he complies.
The kids fan off in various directions gradually closing in on their last known location. When they are all in position, they jump out and yell, "FOUND YOU!"
"Hey where they go," Sebastian whines.
"Yah you said you heard them over here," Emma grouses at Ginny.
The boys look around the pillars and nearby tables. No Olivia and Fitz. "Where the heck did they go," Arabella wonders looking around the room.
All eight of the kids stand in a circle thinking where they could have gone. "Should we head up the stairs and see if they snuck out. I heard Uncle Fitz talking about taking Aunt Libby up to the Residence to go to sleep soon," Anastasia thinks out loud.
"They are not going to go to sleep," Benjamin pipes up. "They will be a lot of kissy – kissy," he groans sticking his tongue out of his mouth.
"Ewww, gross Dude," Nathaniel bumps his brother's arm. "It's bad enough we catch our parents and grandparents smooching all the time. Uncle Fitz is ten times worse with Aunt Libby."
Fitz eyes raise where they are hiding. Olivia now has to cover her mouth to prevent any noise from being heard.
"It's totally gross," Ginny grumbles. "I see my parents sucking face all the time."
"Daddy sticks his tongue in Mommy's mouth all the time," Sebastian announces like it's the most disgusting thing on the planet.
"Ewww," Arabella wines. "Our parents do that type of kissing too. They don't think we can see them but we do."
"I heard Aunt Libby tell my Mom, and Aunt Sabrina that your Uncle Fitz makes her toes curl, and her newly pressed hair curly," Ginny giggles. "And I've seen my Aunt's face after your Uncle stops kissing her. Literally he makes her weak in the knees."
Olivia is blushing badly. Fitz leans forward to get a look at her face. She is completely horrified. Fitz is doing his best to keep them both quiet where they are hidden.
"Yes our mom," Emma pipes in, "Swears your Uncle Fitz's kisses can ruin the best BLOW OUT in less than ten seconds. He curls more than our Aunt's toes. He curls it all including places that shouldn't be twirled."
Olivia can feels the tears ready to come down her face. She is completely mortified. "I am going to kill Mo and Nina," she hisses only loud enough for Fitz to hear.
Fitz brings her face to his. "It's okay Sweetheart, I love your hair natural anyway. I guess I'm a man of many talents." She smacks his arm. "I can't wait to get you into our bed upstairs so you can find out how talented I really am."
"Shut up," she snorts. "Before those kids find us."
Fitz cannot comment because he does not what their nieces and nephews to locate them. Not yet anyway. His hand slinks over to Olivia searching for her legs. Just as he is in within reach, she grabs his hand. "No you don't Mister."
"I want you," he growls. She shivers as his deep baritone voice affects her deep within her body. "Desperately."
"Quit it before all eight of those Demon Spawns find us," she snaps. "You reminding me how much you want me naked is NOT helping our situation. I am aching for you to be on top of me naked just as bad. Dammit Fitz I could kill you right now."
He sniggers a laugh under his breath. "God I love you," he croons into her ear.
"You damn well better because you bet your ass you will be marrying me after all this pomp, circumstance, and being spoiled rotten all day," she sighs as her eyes connect with his.
"Livy I'd marry you tomorrow if that is what you wanted," he mutters.
She sighs as her hand lifts off the ground and caresses his face. "We'll talk about setting a date later."
"Sooner the better," he murmurs into her hear. "I don't think I'll be able to wait to get you knocked up." Her mouth drops open at his words. "I cannot wait for all the super-hot sex we are going to have making our child. I heard baby making sex is the hottest."
Both had not been intimate with anyone in a very long time. Fitz is arousing himself and unfortunately Olivia cannot help him relieve the pressure in his tux pants. Ever since he met Olivia and she entered his life, he's found himself wanting her twenty-four, seven.
"Fitzgerald, Stop. It," she squeezes her legs together to ease the fire between them. This man will make her lose all control right this very minute and pounce on him, kids be damned.
"I love you my beautiful fiancée," he whispers sweetly into her ear.
"You better," she scolds him.
The kids are still searching in the room for them unable to find them. Now all eight are at the bottom of the steps ready to head out of the room.
"Are you sure Aunt Libby and Uncle Fitz are still in here. We seriously looked everywhere," Arabella huffs looking up the stairs. The other seven turn and squint up the stairs. "You all are sure they didn't sneak up there when we were searching in this room right. We could have missed them. I am sure they are…"
"AHHHHH…," Olivia and Fitz come up behind them screaming together with their hands ready to scare the living day-lights out of all eight of them.
/
"Having No Words…,"
All eight children release a bloodcurdling high pitched scream, signaling the Secret Service to come running into the room. The children fell onto the floor and themselves not sure what just happened. Olivia and Fitz double over in laughter pleased with the response from their "mutual" nieces and nephews.
They all look up at Fitz and Olivia. "HEY THAT WAS SO NOT COOL YOU GUYS," Fitz's twin nephews bellow between breathes. They are breathing erratically to calm down. In their light blue eyes, there is hardly any white. Fitz helps them up off the ground.
"Sorry Olivia and I couldn't resist," Fitz razzes them.
"Yah right," Benjamin complains in a low tone. "Well get Uncle Fitz back everyone don't worry." Nathaniel stands next to his twin brother rubbing his hands together with a gleam in his eyes.
Fitz cannot help but laugh at his nephews. Many times at the Ranch these two have scared the daylights out of various house guests and dignitaries. This was sweet revenge for Fitz. "Just remember boys I have the Secret Service and they can lock you up." He scoops his nephews up for a mutual nuggie, pushing his knuckles extra hard into both their scalps.
They scream even louder begging Fitz to stop.
"SERIOUSLY AUNT LIBBY," Emma and Ginny speak just as loud huffing and puffing. Olivia is by their side to get them off the floor.
"Sorry girls. Blame your new Uncle. It was his idea," she states blaming Fitz.
"Hey it was not. Well not totally. Your Aunt Libby and I make a great team," Fitz sighs with a sparkle in his eyes.
"Wait till I tell my Papa on you Fitz," Ginny chastises him.
"I'll make it up to Ginny," Fitz kneels before her. She squints. "I have a very special ice cream in the Residence waiting with all the fixings," he answers in Southern tone.
"You better," Ginny grumbles. "Or I'm going to be the one sleeping with MY AUNT LIBBY tonight." Her tone catches Fitz off guard. She sounds exactly like Monique and Olivia combined.
"Considered it handled ladies," Olivia steps in before Fitz earns himself right out of their bed for the evening. Fitz kisses both the girls.
Fitz walks Alex, Arabella, and Anastasia, who are piled in a heap on the floor. He lifts them all off the floor. "You ladies protecting Alex over here," Fitz teases, seeing Alex was hidden behind his two nieces.
"Yes," Arabella grumbles. "Alex pulled us backwards." She adjusts her pretty dress.
"I did not," Alex snips. "And I was NOT scared."
"You did too," Anastasia gripes holding her stomach then dusting off her pretty dress. "And yes you were scared. That's a crock."
Fitz squints at Anastasia at her word choice. "Anya where'd you here that?"
"Pop-Pop Louis," meaning Olivia's father. "He said it to Papa earlier. You know Ari and I hate getting dirty Uncle Fitz." Olivia and Fitz exchange a "knowing" glance.
Fitz brings his nieces in for a quick hug and kiss. They of course melt in his arms.
"That was totally wicked," Sebastian announces standing up as Olivia stops in front of him. He runs up to his aunt. She scoops him up in his arms. Sebastian glances to the agents. "It's cool guys. They just scared the bejesus out of us that's all."
"The bejesus," Olivia kisses his cheek. "Where'd you hear that Little Man?"
"Papa Jerry," meaning Fitz's father.
"Papa Jerry huh," Olivia replies ready to give her fiancée, Father and Fitz's Dad an ear-full. "So what else did Papa Jerry and Pop-Pop enlighten you all on I wonder."
Sebastian places his tiny fingers on his chin, "thinking" of an answer. He utters…"Just that…,"
"It's about time my son got on bended knee and asked you to marry him," Jerry announces with Lillian, Louis and Alice by his side. "The four of us are NOT getting any younger and we want more Grandbabies." All four clap for Olivia and Fitz. Of course the kids join in to help.
Olivia stands there completely silenced. Literally there are no words to what or how she is feeling right now. Both his parents and her own were there the entire time. She had no idea. Fitz notices her trembling as their parents begin to descend down the massive staircase. They stop half way, as Fitz places his hand up pleading with them to wait a moment.
Olivia eyes are whipping between Fitz and her parents, especially her Father. His brown eyes are locked on his "baby girl." Senator Louis Pope sighs as Alice laces her hand with his. "She looks so much like you Allie. The dress…,"
"Yes Louie it's very much like the one I wore when you proposed to me all those years ago. Olivia was able to find one similar to it in a catalogue. This one is more modern but the color, and lace are the same. And purple is OUR favorite color," Alice explains leaning on Louis's arm. Olivia cannot hear her parent's conversation, but she's sure it's about her dress.
"Livy," Fitz coos taking her face in his hands. He cannot get her to look into his eyes. Olivia eyes are still connected with Louis's.
"Dad," she mouths gazing into her father's warm eyes. He sees the unleashed tears she will not permit to fall.
"Fitz," Louis calls his name from the stairs. Fitz pivots in order to meet his eyes. "Handle this. I don't like seeing my Little Girl," but he pauses, "your fiancée in tears."
Louis's admission does it. Olivia begins to cry. Hearing her Father, the Great Leader of the Democratic Party call her, The President of the United States fiancée is her undoing. The children walk to stand by Lillian and Big Jerry. Ginny and Sebastian hold Jerry's hands, while Alex and Emma hold Lillian's. Fitz's nieces and nephews stand in front of them.
"Is Aunt Libby okay Papa Jerry," Ginny asks. Olivia hears her words.
"Oh she's fine darling. But don't you worry that perfect head of yours. Fitz and your Pop-Pop have her. She is the best hands there is," Jerry kisses the top of her head.
Her parents walk down the stairs to her. She lurches backwards as Fitz places his hand out behind her to catch her. Soon she's encased in Fitz's arms as her legs begin to weaken. Fitz has never seen her this emotional. He cannot tell if she's happy or sad as more tears stream down her cheeks.
"I'm here my Love," he whimpers into her ear. "I am RIGHT here." His chin nuzzles into her neck as she clings to Fitz for dear life. She accepted the kids were here but seeing their parents together is total surprise. Olivia heart races as her eyes narrow on her father's smiling face.
Louis strolls up to his daughter. He reaches for her LEFT hand with the rose colored engagement ring as Fitz continues to hold her from behind – being her rock. Without him, his love she'd be on the floor. "Dad," she breathes not believing HE is really there.
Louis raises her hand kissing the engagement ring. Her hand cups his cheek. "Hi Pumpkin."
"Daddy," she creaks keeping more tears from falling. After the worrying – fear that her Father would NEVER accept Fitz, he's here standing before her with a huge smile on his face.
"Yes my Livy," he stops. His eyes catch Fitz's. "Actually your Fitz's Livy now." His voice breaks. "You are the First Fiancée to Fitzgerald Grant, My President," he announces with pride. Louis squeezes his hand covering Olivia's. Fitz senses his own emotions bubbling to the surface. He holds them back. He'll falter later. Fitz must be strong for Olivia right now.
"Thank you Senator," Fitz croaks in a hoarse tone.
"Just remember Livy were MY Baby Girl first," Louis reminds him.
"Oh Ad-da," she cries flinging herself into Louis arms. Olivia buries her face into Louis's neck permitting more tears to cascade down her soft cheeks. Alice tip-toes to her daughter, hugging her in her father's arms. Fitz is having a difficult time keeping his emotions in check.
He steps back quickly wiping a tear. Lillian catches it. Jerry nudges her and she is there by Fitz's side, offering him the support and love he needs. Lillian wraps her arms around Fitz, as his own emotions bubble to the surface. He is not supposed to cry but he did not expect to hear Louis's words. He catches his mother's soft eyes.
"It's okay Fitz," Lillian coos. "You got the girl."
"I do," he whispers seeing Olivia's head buried in Louis's chest. She is only sniffling now. Louis is slowly soothing her. Lillian notices the sparkling engagement ring on Olivia's left hand. It takes her breath away. It's even more beautiful. "Mom?"
"The ring…," she wheezes catching her breath. It's even more stunning then it was before. "Did you change it?"
"I added two more rose colored diamonds to the band," Fitz explains. "I spoke to Dad. He gave me permission. Apparently when he gave it to you he added a diamond. Grandpa added the first diamond around the main solitaire from Great-Grandfather," he sighs. "I was able to find the highest quality diamonds to match."
Lillian cradles Fitz's face in her hands. "It's incredible. But the band."
"It's the same rose colored cold. I took it to the jeweler who's cared for it all these years since the beginning. They have instructions to keep it as original as possible. I have a copy everything." He whispers how much the ring is worth now on her finger.
"Holy Mother of God," Lillian catches her breath.
"Wait to you see the wedding band," Fitz winks. "Let's just say my wife will be the talk of DC."
"I have no doubt," she agrees with him. Lillian brings her head down for her to kiss his cheeks. "Just do me a favor all right." Fitz nods. "You two need to seriously get out of here and have some alone time, if you get my meaning."
"Mom," Fitz admonishes completely embarrassed. "The kids didn't see us before…"
"No but I walked in and saw you two getting HOT and heavy," Lillian chastises. Fitz ears turn bright red. "Just don't make me a Grandma tonight all right."
"Mom," Fitz grumbles.
"Lillian let the man have some peace. He's a Grant, I know he's got my moves," Big Jerry interrupts seeing Fitz becoming more flustered. He is well aware of what Lillian was giving him a hard time concerning. "Leave him be."

POTUS PERKS…
Olivia is now smiling as Louis hugs her. She lifts her head to gaze into her father's soft brown eyes. "Dad, how did you and Mom," she pauses. "Wait how did you ALL get here and not have me find out?" She steps away from her father with her hands on her hips, scowling into Fitz's eyes. He shivers under the intensity of her cold but love filled eyes. "What DID YOU DO?"
Fitz cannot help but snort at her tone. "Nothing Sweetheart?"
"Oh I call bull shit," she blurts out totally forgetting the children are there huddled with Big Jerry. She hears the eight giggles. Her head whips to ALL eight of them. "I best not hear ANY of you repeating those words until you are as TALL as Uncle Fitz. Understand."
"Yes Aunt Libby," all eight kids repeat in unison.
Ginny runs to her Godmother. Olivia scoops her up in her arms. "Uncle Fitz got us here." A devilish grin emerges on Fitz's face. "He's is the President Aunt Libby and it comes with perks." Fitz cannot hide the giggle from mouth. He covers his mouth but Olivia hears it.
"Perks huh," Olivia exhales deeply.
Benjamin, Nathaniel, Arabella and Anastasia skip to be by Olivia. "You're going to have to get used to it Livy because being married to Uncle Fitz means he is going to spoil you rotten." Nathaniel offers this piece of information.
Olivia glances into his eyes and his brothers. They look so much like Fitz, his sister, and Jerry. Each have the "Grant" blue eyes twinkling at her. "So how did you all get here?"
"Uncle Fitz sent Marine One to get us in Vermont," Ginny offers this piece of information as if it's no big deal.
"It was a kick butt ride," Sebastian boasts. "The Pilot let me see the cockpit."
Olivia turns to her parents. Miss Alice walks to her daughter as Fitz's nieces and nephews hold Olivia's two hands. "Momma is that…?"
"It is child," Miss Alice sighs. She still cannot believe the means Fitz used to bring them here. "That fiancée of yours pulled out all the stops to bring US all here. We arrived late this afternoon."
"Did you know…," Olivia stammers feeling herself becoming light-headed again. This is too much, FITZ is too much. "I mean this all had to be arranged."
"No Pumpkin," Louis speaks next standing by Fitz. "We all had no idea Fitz was going to propose tonight. However, he did speak to your mother and I about being here."
"Speak for yourself Louis," Big Jerry announces. "I KNOW my son." Lillian whacks him on the back of the head. "Ow," he winces rubbing the spot where she hit him. "What Lil we do. Come on you figured Fitz was going to propose today. It's Valentine's Day for heaven's sake."
"Jerry," Lillian scolds. Fitz cannot help but chuckle his parents bickering. "Let them be. Olivia has had more than enough surprises tonight to last a lifetime." Lillian strolls over to Olivia. She opens her arms for her to step into for a hug. "Come dear. I need to hug my new daughter."
Her words melt her parent's heart, including Fitz. She did not say "daughter in law." Olivia hugs Fitz's mother. Lillian squeezes her tightly. As Olivia lifts her head from her shoulder, Lillian cups both her cheeks in her hand. "The ring is where it belongs dear, on your finger. Welcome to our family," she utters then places a kiss on her forehead.
Olivia feels the tears in her eyes again. Lillian wipes them away before they fall. She gestures for Big Jerry to come and hug her. In a few strides he is too Olivia wrapping her in his arms. He is slightly taller than Fitz but not by much. He bends his knees then wraps her in a huge hug, lifting her off the ground. Olivia cannot help but laugh.
"It's about time you get a hug like a Grant," he booms. "You make sure that son if mine treats you right. Understand."
"Yes Senator," she addresses him formally.
"Senator," he chuckles loudly. "You're engaged to my son. I think it's time you call me Pops, or Dad." Olivia's cheeks heat up. "Now let me see that ring." Olivia shows him her hand. His father's beams with pride. "You did good Fitz. This ring is…,"
"Everything," Fitz murmurs seeing Olivia with his father.
"It's a about time you put a ring on it," Big Jerry boasts.
While Olivia is with Fitz's parents, her mother and father both go and hug Fitz. Miss Alice wraps Fitz in a tender hug. Her head falls to his chest. She smells Fitz's cologne. "Lord Child, you smell good."
"Momma," Olivia chastises. Fitz cheeks heat up.
"What he smells good Livy," Alice kisses Fitz's cheek. "Actually, I thought for sure he was going to propose after he gave the State of the Union."
"No I always planned on asking Olivia to marry me tonight," Fitz answers finally. "Everything had to be perfect for her tonight."
"It was," Louis steps forward to shake Fitz's hand. "You made me proud Mr. President," he addresses him formally.
"Sir," Fitz shifts uncomfortably on his shoes. As they connect hands Louis draws Fitz into him for a massive hug. Louis squeezes him tightly. "Remember your promise you made me in Vermont. I am going to hold you to it."
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Fitz answers with conviction. "She's my life. I would do absolutely anything to see her smile." Louis releases him to go to his daughter. His nephew and nieces step away from her seeing their Uncle closing the space between them. She picks up the "prey" look in his eyes. "C'mere beautiful…"
She rolls her eyes. Before she can step away from his long arms, he reaches for her, yanking her into his arms. He coils around her like a snake. "Fitz," she warns. "Be good."
"I am," he whispers into her ear. "I just want to hold you."
"Ah huh. Sure you do," she smirks wrapping her arms around him. Of course her fingers thread into his curls. "You are in BIG TROUBLE Mr. President," she glances to everyone standing around them. "I am SO getting you for this later."
"I look forward to it," he admits in a low tone. "Among other things," he wiggles his eyebrows.
"Stop," she snips in a teasing tone. Olivia raises herself to her tip-toes hugging him tightly. It is then as she glances around at everyone's faces she realizes it. "Fitz where are Mo, Tom, Sabrina, and Jared?" Then it hits her that his brother and sister with their spouses are not there. "Wait where…,"
"They'll be arriving tomorrow. But don't worry, Tom videotaped my epic proposal. They watched it LIVE." He notices the fear in her eyes. "Our sisters I am sure have been calling our Mom's non-stop wanting to talk to us." Lillian and Alice check their phones. It's true, but they have not answered.
"But they all should have been here," she whines. "Especially Mo and Jared."
"I know, but…," Fitz begins to explain.
"Your brother and sister couldn't get away tonight," Louis informs her. "Both had prior commitments. But Fitz made sure they did not miss any of it. Like he said, he had a camera recording it so they got to see it as it happened."
"Mo and Sabrina texted me Livy, and they both said it was like watching a Hallmark movie," Miss Alice speaks next. "Both are in a balling mess. I feel bad for Jared and Tom."
Olivia giggles. "So they just took the kids. ALL EIGHT!"
Her tone causes the room to erupt in laughter. "Yes. But they behave much better for their Grandparents. Kids always do. They are all staying in the East Wing of the Residence. Two ENTIRE floors away. Their parents arrive tomorrow, when am willing to share you."
"Hush you," she warns. They begin to say goodnight to everyone walking out of the room when Ginny stands in front of Olivia stopping her. "Ginny?"
"He wanted us ALL here," Ginny sighs turning to Fitz with a sinister expression. Olivia catches the twinkle in her eyes as she hurries in Fitz's direction.
Fitz is not quite prepared and he catches himself before toppling onto the hard floor behind him. "Safe," he announces just before one knee hits the ground.
"You silly Uncle Fitz," Ginny giggles. "Wait can I really call you that?"
"Yes," he sighs gaining his balance with Ginny held high in his arms.
"But are you really sure because technically my Godmother," she utters dramatically, "is not your wife yet?" Fitz eyes narrow on Ginny. This little girl is too smart for her own good. "And are you sure Aunt Libby you want to marry The President? What if you find out later that he really does have cooties?"
Olivia, Jerry, Lillian and Miss Alice cannot contain the outburst of laughter. They erupt in a fit of giggles. Louis walks to his Grandchild in Fitz's arms. "Young Lady you NEVER excuse this man of having bugs? He's the President and is a part of our family."
"But what if he does Pop-Pop. You always say you want Aunt Libby to be safe," Ginny counters.
He sighs. "Your Godmother is safe with Fitz. You are being held by Fitz right now? If anyone has cooties it's you?"
"I DO NOT," Ginny snorts loudly. "And he hasn't kissed me yet? So I'm…," but before she can finish Fitz dips her backward placing kisses all over her face. "Eww gross stop," she pleads attempting to push Fitz's face away. He does relent, and buries his face into her neck. A loud pitch squeal erupts from her lungs, echoing in the room.
"Fitz," Olivia giggles. "Behave."
"She started it," Fitz eyes meet hers. "Do you worry though you are next," he wiggles his eye brows planting Ginny on the floor then shrugging his jacket off. He tosses it on a nearby table. Then with an extra eye brow wiggle, he rolls his sleeves up.
"Fitz don't…," Olivia warns stepping away from him. If he catches her, she's in so much trouble.
"No," he growls then shoots off after Olivia…
"SHIT," Olivia hollers kicking her heels off then running from Fitz in the room in front of ALL the kids and their parents. Their visitors cannot help but smile and laugh at Fitz chasing Olivia through the room. She's quicker than he anticipated.
"Help your Uncle," Big Jerry instructs all eight of them. The kids need to run off some energy before they head up to the opposite floor in the Residence. If not they will NOT go to bed.
"This isn't fair," Olivia huffs staying out of arms reach from the kids. But what she does not take into account is they are tag-teaming her, driving her towards the man she is set to marry. She continues to back up until her fiancée's arms snatch her from behind. "FITZ!"
He's strong arms are coiled around her like a python, eager to eat her alive. "So do I still have cooties Livy," he croons into her ear. She does not answer as his mouth connects with her sweet spot just under her ear. Their nieces and nephews are snickering but Olivia body is responding to him. He moans into her ear. "I plan on giving you more than that," he pushes his hips against her. He mews into her ear exactly what he plans on giving her.
Her legs grow weak as she gulps for air. "Eat her Uncle Fitz," Benjamin screams.
"I plan on it," he replies in a voice only she knows what it means. His baritone voice vibrates her body. In a tone only she can hear he mutters, "In fact I'm starving. Let's go to bed," he whispers into her ear. "Now."
"I live to serve the President," she spins to face him. She does not kiss him because if so they'll give everyone a show.
They walk up to the Residence chatting with their parents and the kids. The elevator ride is too long for Fitz. He's waited TOO PAINSTAKENLY long to make love to her. Their parents usher the kids out, and leaving Olivia with Fitz to walk out on their own. The moment they are completely alone at the Presidential bedroom doors he stops her.
"Fitz," she exhales as her eyes meet his.
"I love you," he creeks as his lips brush just over hers tenderly. "I just want to tell you Livy before we go inside and you truly become mine. You've made me the happiest man in the world on our first Valentine's Day. You are not just my Valentine and fiancée today, you are…," he's at a loss for words.
"My soulmate," she finishes for him. "Happy Valentine's Day and I love you too…," she utters softly kissing his lips. "Now take me to bed and make love to me."
"Considered it Handled," he croaks lifting her off the floor and carrying her into their bedroom.

Yes I am seriously going to end it right here. Happy Valentine's to ALL of you that read this NEW story. I am thrilled I was able to finish this special Valentine's Day chapter on Valentine's Day. I know no #MRatedHotSugars but as you can guess it's going to happen…like SOON.
I wanted to include ALL their nieces, nephews, and parents before the HOT Stuff starts. I know many of you missed Ginny – the little girl who started it all. She just had to be here for this. Yes they ALL saw Fitz propose to Olivia. They were hiding. And Senator Louis Pope seems to have come around or has he?
So be on the lookout for more of this new tale. There is plenty more, including HOT STUFF to come. Olitz has to deal with their siblings when they arrive, and wedding planning. Lord help them.
I'll be looking for the #CandyHearts to drop...
Happy Valentine's Day and Thank you for reading,
Me's
