Chapter 3: Old Friend
Olivia's head starts to spin. What could possibly make this person come see her and why now of all times?
"Why are you here?" Olivia asked.
"Now see, I thought you'd be happy to see me."
"This is just not the time for you to be here. I have a lot going on and I don't need to deal with this too."
"Olivia Pope backing down from something because it's tough? Not like you. Please don't tell me working in Washington has made you weak?"
"Of course not. Im never weak. This is just a stressful time but enough about me. Lets just cut to the chase. Why are you here and how did you even get in here?"
Olivia had to admit. She was happy to see this person standing in her apartment. It had been a long time. This was just not the time. Fitz is having a baby with Mellie, I'm sick to my stomach, and now this person is standing in my bathroom. Why me she thought.
"Listen, I came here for you. I had a feeling something was wrong. Im glad I did because clearly something is up with you. So can you just talk to me? " said the mystery person.
In true Olivia fashion. She changed the subject. " How's Georgia?"
"She's good. She would've been here but we didn't have a babysitter for Cameron."
Stephen and Georgia had moved away, got married, and not to long after that welcomed a baby boy name Cameron into the world. Stephen had finally found happiness and it was very clear all over his face. Georgia and Cameron changed Stephen for the better. That was good to see.
"Aww, how is Cameron?"
Stephen laughs. "Busy. He never sits down since he started walking."
"It's so hard to believe that you're a husband and a father now."
"I know. We never did the whole normal thing at O.P.A huh?"
"Never. So how does it feel?"
"How does what feel?"
"Being normal. Having a family. Loving your life. How does being normal feel?" replied Olivia sadly.
"It was wierd for awhile before Cameron was born. I would wake up thinking I had a case but once Cameron was born... Everything just came together. I realized that being a husband and a dad was exactly what I was suppose to be. Normal is good but it's different."
Olivia loved that Stephen had found happiness in his life with Georgia and Cameron but she couldn't help thinking about how she may never have that. That was alot to swallow for her. Olivia loved working. Fixing was what she did best but was there ever going to be someone to share it with? Maybe not.
"I'm happy for you." said Olivia.
"Thanks. Look, I can tell something is wrong. Talk to me. You're throwing up and your eyes are watery. What's wrong really? " asked Stephen
Olivia sighs heavily. "Mellie is pregnant."
"Wait. She found somebody else after the divorce? Shouldn't you be happy about that?" chuckled Stephen.
Stephen quickly stopped laughing after seeing the seriousness on Liv's face. He couldn't see why Olivia was sad because Mellie had moved on.
"I would be but... the baby... The baby is for Fitz." struggled Olivia.
"How do you know for sure?"
"He admitted sleeping with her three months ago and she's three months pregnant. Why am I even surprised? She's his wife."
Olivia laughed with sarcasm. "If that isn't enough I've missed my period this month and I just threw up. I know what that could mean but...So much is going on right now."
Olivia put her head in her hands and breathed deeply. Stephen had never seen his friend/former boss so stressed out before. Not even when she found out that Fitz had slept with Amanda Tanner. Stephen didn't understand what kept Olivia going back to Fitz. Why she loved this heartbreaking love so much but maybe there was another side to this story.
"Listen, you can't sit here crying about this. Specially if you are pregnant. We have to find out if you are and then go from there. You're Olivia Pope. People hire you to handle their lives. You can do this."
Olivia got up, brushed her teeth and brushed her hair. She looked in the mirror and touched up her make up. She then turned to Stephen and said.
"Let's go find out."
Stephen and Olivia walked out of the apartment and headed to the store to get a pregnancy test. Could she really be having a baby? Olivia had always thought about being a mom but the possiblity finally being here was both exciting and scary. She knew that for now she had to put Fitz on the back burner and worry about herself and possibly her un born child.
Back at the White House
Mellie sat in the Oval waiting for Fitz to arrive. No matter what people thought about her this was not something she planned. That night three months ago happened and she promised to never talk about it. Never did she think that they would be here. Mellie was finally starting to move on with her life. She wasn't crazy. She knew that Fitz was in a relationship with Olivia. She knew that they wanted to live happily ever after and in the beginning she didn't want that for them but after Jerry's death and the divorce she realized that they had both been so unhappy together and they deserved to happy. They would always be tied together because of the kids but that was it. Now the pot had been stirred and things were about to get a lot more complicated. The President and the First Lady get a divorce and then have a baby. The media was going to love this.
Mellie's thoughts were interrupted by a slammed door. She looks up to see someone that she figured would be Fitz. It wasn't...
Authors Note: So guys we found out who was in Liv's apartment. Stephen! He's back! Could Olivia be pregnant? If she is that would mean both Olivia and Mellie would be pregnant. How's that going to play out?! Now the big question. Who's in the Oval with Mellie? What do they want? Stay tuned!
