This update took me a little longer because I really wanted to make sure the brothers were written the way I envisioned it. I am pretty pleased with the end result and hope you enjoy it as well!

"He's thirty minutes late, he's never late. He's always early, do you think we should call him?" Nate asked his twin brother.

"Are you kidding me? He's with his girlfriend, you know exactly where he is. Do you really wanna kill his game? He'll be here, just chill," Nick replied, making sure everything was hooked up with the trailer so they could leave once Fitz showed up.

"So this is the real deal then? Lexi wasn't messing with us? I just can't believe it, we tried to hook him up with so many women, why now?"

"If it is the girl I think it is, he's had a thing for her for awhile. I was in there two weeks ago and she stopped to ask him a question, it was like a different man, he wouldn't stop smiling and flirting with her. But don't ask him too many questions, you know how he is, he barely talks about his life as it is."

"No way, I'm finding out what's going on, if our baby brother is finally moving on and has a woman I wanna know all about her."

"God, you are so obnoxious, no wonder you're the lawyer."

"Yeah, because you weren't smart and good looking enough to be one."

"No, because I know when to shut up."

"You wanna know too."

"Yeah, but when he is ready to tell us, not when we force him. Didn't we beat and traumatize him enough as a child?"

Although they were twins, they weren't identical and were drastically different. Nate's resembled Fitz more than Nick. He was tall, and athletic with curly hair that had started to grey at the temples and blue eyes. He had a smile that could and did melt any girl's heart. He used it to help himself in the courtroom. He was witty, flamboyant and ostentatious but also protective of his family. He was an exceptional athlete and often had to protect the less physically gifted Nick.

Nick was shorter, and skinny. He had lighter, straight hair that was completely grey with green eyes. He was brilliant and excelled in math throughout his life. He easily could have been a lawyer but preferred numbers to words and became a successful accountant. He was quieter than his brother, which allowed him to be the better listener of the two. He knew how to read people and would often provide the best advice to his siblings. Fitz was a mixture of both his brothers, as it seemed he inherited the best traits from each of them. Physically he resembled Nate but his personality fell somewhere between the two. They both looked at each other as Fitz pulled in and turned their attention to him.

"Where the hell were you? You're almost thirty minutes late, you're never late," Nate asked his brother.

"Nate, stop."

"I know I'm sorry, I lost track of time," Fitz walked over to help them hook up the trailer to his truck.

"You were with you girlfriend, you don't have to hide it we all know pretty boy," Nate put his younger brother in a headlock messing up his hair while Nick shook his head and laughed.

"Who said you were coming?" Fitz changed the subject but couldn't hide his grin while he fixed his hair.

"Well, our wives and kids had plans so we figured the both of us could help you," Nate smiled.

"He really just wants to grill you like a typical lawyer, I'm here to actually help," Nick added.

"Alright, we better get going it's a four hour ride, I'm sure that is plenty of time for you to cross examine me," Fitz smirked as his brother's hopped in the truck.

Nick took the front seat and whispered "He's been going nuts about this since Lexi told us."

"Oh like you don't wanna know too!"

They were excited and happy for Fitz. He had always been the family's baby and when everything happened he changed, becoming more reserved. As a child he had always been rambunctious, and happy-go-lucky. He wore his heart on his sleeve but had always been the one to bring the light to the family even in the darkest of times. He admired his older siblings and wanted to impress them. Once he began to excel at boxing, he was the new star of the family and they were all his biggest fans, attending every match.

But that all changed after the accident, he became almost a recluse at one point, it was as if he was afraid if anyone came too close to him he would lose them. His family forced him to him open up and remove the isolationist tendencies. However that ray of light that illuminated from within him had been dimmed and they were afraid they'd never see it again. He kept almost everyone else at an arm's distance. But, already this morning the two brothers could see a difference in the few minutes they had spent with him.

"Alright Fitzgerald, are you gonna tell us about her or are we gonna have to beat it out of you?!" Nate started in again from the back seat.

"Yeah little bro, you gotta give us a few details," Nick decided he would join in after he noticed the smile on Fitz' face and his bare left hand.

It was something they had both noticed immediately. That morning while in the shower he had taken off his wedding band. They knew he was head over heels for this girl if he had removed something that no one else could get him to do for 13 years. It was one of the reasons he was late.

"Why is everyone so nosey in this family?" Fitz couldn't stop smiling just thinking about Olivia, she made him feel alive in a way he hadn't before.

"Because you're the baby," Nick pinched his cheek as Nate messed his hair up from the back seat.

"You'll both be jealous, she's way out of either of your leagues."

"Oh, someone is tough today, remember she hasn't met me yet," Nate proudly smiled.

"He's only talking tough because he's driving and we can't fuck with him. Is it the girl that you were talking with and smiling that stupid smile at when I was in two weeks ago?"

Fitz grinned pleased with himself, "Yes, that's her. Olivia Pope, she's kind, intelligent, graceful, beautiful,'has a huge heart of gold, she's amazing, like no one else.. She works for me and I know don't even start Mr Lawyer, but it isn't like that. It's real, she's special, she's…. everything," he had a dreamy eye look and took a drink of his coffee.

"Wow."

"Bro, are you ok?"

"He brought a tear to my eye," they both started laughing.

"Shut up assholes. This is why I don't tell you things."

"Sorry Little bro but it's too easy with you."

"Yeah seriously Fitz, it sounds like you're falling in love," Nick questioned.

Fitz smiled to himself "I'm not….. I'm already in love with her. I can't stop thinking about her."

The brothers smiled both happy to see him act this way. There were times they felt guilty for ignoring and not protecting him enough when they were younger. But the ten year age difference made it hard to relate when they were kids.

However, over the past thirteen years they had done their best to be the older brothers he needed. It was a silent pact between the two of them, and although Fitz only talked to their mother and sister Ellie about personal things the twins made sure they had something planned with him on important days to keep him distracted and prevent him from drinking. They had tried to find him dates but either he wasn't interested in the women or they soon grew tired of dealing with his past.

Regardless, the three of them had developed a close bond. Fitz always admired them growing up, but they admired the father that Fitz was. Lexi was an intelligent, kind vibrant young girl and they knew it was attributed to Fitz. He was stern but he loved his daughter more than anyone else and was always there for her.

It was funny to the twins to see their little brother as an example of how to be a great father but they had both gone to him for advice. It was something the three of them could bond over. That and their gym. They were both silent partners in Fitz' gym. Nate took care of the legal aspect while Nick handled finances and taxes. The three boys were very successful and were able to take care of their parents. They used their money to buy their parents a much too big house in the best development in the town. Their parents were able to retire and finally live comfortably. It was the least they could since they had worked so hard when the boys were children to make sure they had the best life they could.

Nate put his hand on Fitz' shoulder "we might be annoying and nosey, but everyone in the family is ecstatic for you and can't wait to meet her."

"You're lucky mom and dad are away or they'd be making you bring her tomorrow," Nick reminded him.

"I know, I was hoping next weekend she'd come. I already warned her about everyone."

"What does Lexi think?" Nick was curious.

"She's the one who encouraged me. Actually she yelled at me and gave me a lecture. I think she knew I have been attracted to Olivia for awhile. I guess I just needed a little push in the right direction. By the way, did she tell you she has a tryout at Julliard in three weeks?"

"No, that little shit, she was more worried about you!" Nate announced

"She'll get in and I'll miss her so much. I can't believe she's leaving me and becoming an adult."

"Hey, she's ready man, she has a great dad!" Nick complimented him.

"And her Uncles aren't too bad either," Nate smiled to himself.

The three of them laughed and shook their heads, not surprised by Nate's comments.

"Are you going to bring her to Thanksgiving?" Nick was curious now that he knew Fitz was opening up he decided to pry a little bit.

"We didn't talk about it yet, I don't know if she'll wanna go home for it, she doesn't see her family that often. Maybe I'll go with her if she wants me to."

"Wait a minute, you are telling me mom's favorite, her baby might miss Thanksgiving to spend it with his girlfriend's family? What does she have on you?"

Fitz laughed as his brothers harassed him, "If that's what Livy wants to do then that's what I'll do."

"Livy?"

"Yeah it's what I call her."

"Do you sit at work and draw hearts around her name too?"

Nick gave Nate a high five.

"You two really are assholes you know that, right?"

They were both overjoyed for Fitz but they couldn't help but to tease him. Nate was sitting in the back and messaged his sisters letting them know he was no longer wearing a wedding band and was in love. They continued to grill him for the next hour until they stopped for breakfast. As they were pulling into a parking stall Fitz' phone lit up with a picture of himself and Liv and her named displayed.

"Damnit Fitz, how did you get someone so gorgeous!? She's outta your league!" Nate commented.

"Shut up."

"Give me that!" Nate grabbed the phone before Fitz had a chance to answer.

"Hey Livy!"

"Hello, is This Fitz?"

"No, it is his much better looking older brother Nate, Fitz is driving."

"Give me my damn phone you assholes!"

"Sorry Bro, you are driving, cannot do," Nate reminded him.

"So Livy, what can we help you with?" Nate asked her.

"Well, I really did want to talk to Fitz and thank him for the roses he sent me."

"Wow, baby bro nice job, she said thank you for the roses," Nate moved his face from the phone, "nice touch"

Fitz had turned red from embarrassment and agitation, when his brother tapped him with his phone.

He heard her laughing on the other side.

"Hi,"

"Fitz! Oh your brother really is too much to handle! I can't wait to meet them."

"Oh yeah they've been a blast today, do you like the flowers?" his brothers had gone into the restaurant while he stayed in the car to talk to her.

"I love them Fitz, they are beautiful and that was incredibly thoughtful, you didn't have to."

"But I wanted to, you deserve to be treated like that."

"You are something special Fitzgerald."

He smiled at that comment, "What are you doing today?"

"Abby is coming and we are going for mani and pedis then lunch."

"Abby, I like her, she's the sarcastic redhead who works on the gym side?"

"She's definitely sarcastic! She should be here soon and I don't wanna hold you up. What time will you be home?"

"It might be late we stopped to eat and then we still have two more hours to drive."

"Call me when you get home."

"I will."

"Fitz,"

"Yeah Livy ?"

"Thank you again for the flowers, you always know how to make me smile."

"No Livy, you're the one that always makes me smile."

"I'll talk to you later be careful."

"I will, bye Livy."

She couldn't stop smiling thinking about the roses and being with him last night. She was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't realize Abby had let herself in and was standing in the kitchen listening to the conversation.

"Edison never made you smile like that," Abby finally broke Olivia from her daydreams.

"Abby, how long have you been here?"

"Long enough to hear your conversation, wow Liv, are these from him? He must really like you."

"I know, I can't believe I almost married Edison. I would've missed out on this life changing relationship."

"You always had a crush on him and he always watched you. It was like you were the only girl who existed. I can't believe it took you both this long to figure it out."

"Abby, stop, he did not."

"Yes he did! I can't believe he waited two months to make a move. Women threw themselves at him for years but he was never interested. I always felt bad for him, knowing his history he just looked like a sad puppy. But, that has changed, hasn't it? He was all smiles walking around yesterday."

"Well, I kissed him first, so maybe I made the first move. He's quiet and sensitive, but he's really opened up to me. He's just incredible, he's an amazing father, and he's sweet, kind protective."

"Sexy."

Liv smiled at her "Yes he is sexy, his body is amazing."

"So you have seen it up close?"

"He slept over last night," she was blushing.

"Did you?"

"No, not yet. He's nervous, I don't know how long it's been for him."

"He's intimidated by you! That's my girl. Well he certainly makes you happy."

"Yes, he does," she smiled, thinking about Fitzgerald Grant and how happy he did make her.

Fitz and his brothers unloaded the trailer into the storage area at the gym. He would deal with where to put the equipment during the week, it had been a long day and he was exhausted. He dropped off his brothers then sent Olivia a text, it was almost 11 pm and he wasn't sure if she would be awake.

His phone rang "Hi, you're still awake?"

"Hi. I'm actually at your house. After Abby and I were done, Lexi called me and we ate dinner and watched a movie."

"That sounds perfect, I'll see you in a little bit then?"

She heard his truck pull in and met him at the door kissing him when he walked in.

"I missed you so much today baby," he kissed her forehead as he pulled her tighter into a hug.

"I know, I missed you too Fitz. Are you tired?"

"Not too tired to talk to you."

"Fitz, you're ridiculous," he took his jacket off and took a seat pulling her onto his lap, "Are you hungry? We ordered you something."

"I'm alright, where's Lexi?"

"She went to bed a while ago, she was pretty tired."

"I need to shower, I'm pretty tired too."

She ran a hand through his hair, "let's go to bed then we can talk after you shower."

He took her hand and carried her bag up to his bedroom. He always thought it would be strange to have a different woman in his room, but it just felt natural with Liv. She was already in her pajamas when he went to shower. He was quick, and came out of the bathroom in just his boxer briefs as he towel dried his hair. She watched him, admiring his body. He pulled on his pajama pants then joined her in bed while she put down her book and cuddled up close to him.

"How was your day?"

"Good, they weren't too harsh on me. They are dying to meet you, I told them you're way out of their league."

"I can't wait to meet them."

"I'd like to take you to dinner with my parents next Sunday, Lexi and I go every weekend, but they are away this week."

"I'd love to Fitz, I wanna meet your whole family."

"Well you might have to wait until Thanksgiving for that but my parents will be enough for one day."

"Are you inviting me to Thanksgiving?"

"Well, Yeah! If that's what you wanna do, I wasn't sure if you wanna go to your families house instead."

"We have to take Lexi the next week, so I figured we could go early and stay with them then if you don't mind. It'd make our trip shorter each day. But I'd love to have Thanksgiving with your family."

"Good," he kissed the top of her head "because I know they'll love to have you there."

They talked about the rest of their day until they fell into a quiet peaceful sleep together.
