Fitz was walking into their training facilities when he saw Harper schooling Jake and Andrew, in soccer. She kicked the ball between Jake's legs, fake moved around Andrew, and scored on Huck. They were not playing to their capacity , but the little girl still have skill.
" You'd think since it's bring your kid to work day, she'd want to stay with me.." Olivia laughed as she came behind Fitz.
" Hi.." Fitz said in a low voice. In Olivia's eyes he looked amazing. He had on dark jeans, a white V-neck, olive colored desert boots, and a Red Sox's baseball cap.
" Hello…"
" What got her so into soccer?" Fitz asked fascinated with the little girl in front of him.
" I really don't know, one day she started dribbling the soccer ball and there we are. She know's all of yours and Real Madrid's stats.
Harp said they really miss you at Real. Do you miss it there?"
" I miss my former teammates and the fan, but other then that no not really…..Plus there are people here that I care about….' Fitz looked right at Olivia.
" No, Fitz not again….."
" Please Livvie, hear me out… I miss you! Come back to me! Forgive me! Love you!" Fitz pleaded.
" No, do not call me Livvie, you don't get to love or miss me! You lost that when you left me and broke my heart. I went through hell after you left and you think after 13 year you can come back and everything will be okay?" Olivia yelled.
" Livvie please…"
" I forgave you a long time ago, but us there is no hope. You should move on…...I have….Peter makes me happy…"
" Do you love him…..?"
" Fitz, don't do this….."
" It's a yes or no question Livvie…."
" I…..I…."
" That's what I thought…...I will never give up on you, us. You are my person….I need you and Harper in my life….." With that Fitz grabbed Olivia and kissed her.
Olivia was shocked then she started responding to the kiss. They kissed till Olivia heard Peter calling her name. She quickly pulled away and shook her head and ran away from Fitz. He sighed and headed towards the locker room. Fitz quickly got changed and headed towards the field. Practice doesn't start till half an hour which means he can have a good amount of time with Harper.
Once he got on the feild, Harper and Huck's son Havie were playing one on one soccer. She seemed to be doing just fine. Fitz didn't know why but he was so proud of this little girl. It was like a connection like never before. He jogged on to the field and picked up Harper from behind. She squealed and laughed. Finally Fitz put Harper down and she gave him a big hug.
" Hey, kiddo how about after practice you and I, bicycle kick?" Fitz held out held out his fist. Harper high fives him and said
" TURKEY!" Fitz bursted out laughing. He absolutely adored this girl.
" You're too much kiddo…." Fitz continued laughing.
" Okay, Fitz how about me and you one on one?" Harper teased.
" No no I'm afraid I'LL KICK YOUR BUTT!" Fitz teased.
" Fitz, you do know you are 35 correct?" All the guys laughed.
" Ouch, you wound me Harper Pope!" Fitz placed a hand over his heart.
" The truth hurts my friends. It's better you accept it! Oooo I see grey hair!" Harper teased.
" That's it!" Fitz reached Harper and tickled her. Then they played one on one. Fitz can tell how focused Harper was, she was amazing. Speed and creativity was her strong suite. Fitz wondered how Olivia would feel if Harper became a professional soccer player. This girl was amazing. Then Cyrus and the rest of the team came out and Harper and Havie ran off somewhere. Fitz felt a little piece of his heart leave as Harper left.
During practice all Fitz thought about was Olivia and Harper. After practice Harper was all ready to go. Getting permission from Cyrus, Fitz headed towards Harper.
" Ready kiddo?" Fitz held up his hand for a high five.
" Ready!" Harper punched saying " Turkey" again. Together the duo headed towards the goal.
" First things first. We gotta teach you how to fall properly. I don't want you to injure yourself…..You want to fall on your side, but not your shoulders. Okay go over there and feed me the ball." Harper ran over to the 18 yard line and punted the ball so Fitz can perform the bicycle kick. He did it beautifully and landed on his side. Fitz signaled Harper to come back.
" So you see how I landed on my side, that's how I want you to land.
Now to the steps. You always want to turn your back where you want the ball to go to." Fitz showed her the motion. " Then you want to push off with your kicking foot." Fitz lifted his left foot. " In your case you're right leg. After that dip your head and shoulder backwards. Lift your kicking leg straight up as you fall, then strike the ball. Got it?" Harper nodded.
" Repeated back to me." Harper repeated the steps to Fitz. He was impressed she retains information really well.
" Alright, I'm gonna go over to the 18 yard line and punt the ball to you." Once at the 18 yard line Fitz punted the ball and Harper failed. She got back up and told him to feed it again. By the 5th time Fitz was getting worried for Harper's safety, but she wouldn't budge.
Finally on the 6th try Fitz yelled " Come on kiddo, FITZ BELIEVES IN YOU!" That was all Harper needed because she completed the kick beautifully on the 6th try. Fitz went ballistic and ran over to Harper and put her on his shoulders and paraded her around. He was yelling " THIS AMAZING SOCCER PLAYER JUST COMPLETED HER BICYCLE KICK IN 1 DAY OF LEANING!" Over and over again.
Everyone high fived Harper and was happy for her. Olivia came out to see what was happening out there. She saw Harper looking happy as ever and Fitz looking really proud. She went over to them.
" MOM, MOM I DID IT! I MASTERED THE KICK!" Harper yelled.
" I'm proud of you sweetie!" Olivia smiled with pride.
" Can I treat you guys to dinner?"
" I don't know…..Peter went out of town…." Olivia responded before Harper cut in.
" PLEASEEEEE MOM PRETTY PLEASEEEE! THIS IS A CHANCE TO HAVE DINNER WITH MY IDOL!" Harper begged.
" Okay…" Olivia sighed. Harper screamed " yes!" and Fitz smiled.
" We can head over with my car, I know the perfect place where paparazzi can't get us." Fitz smiled.
" Let's me get cleaned up and we can go." Harper and Olivia nodded. Fifteen minutes later Fitz returned with a black Ralph Lauren V-neck, tan cargo shorts, sperrys, and a Lakers Snapback worn backwards. He looked amazing. The three headed toward his car. Fitz opened the door for Harper then Olivia, and they headed towards a the diner. During the dinner Harper was talking mainly, but Fitz would stare at Olivia because she's just beautiful.
If people didn't know they would think the three of them was a family. Coming out of the dinner the three was laughing and joking. Olivia had Abby take her car home so Fitz would be giving them a ride home. During the ride home he played " Sweet child O mine" and the three of them sang along. Fitz sounded like a horse trying to sing, but Olivia and Harper didn't care. Harper fell asleep on the way home, so once arriving at Olivia's house Fitz carried her into the house.
Olivia woke Harper up and told her to go take a shower.
" Thank you for today Fitz…..You really made her day…" Olivia smiled.
" No need to thank me, she's the one who made my day…" Fitz whispered. He's been thinking a lot and seeing the photographs in the house made him more suspicious.
" I'll show you out…." Olivia sense Fitz was in deep thought. He exited and Olivia closed the door. A minute a door bell ranged.
" Harper…..she's my daughter isn't she?" Fitz asked teary eyed. Olivia was quiet really quiet.
" OLIVIA IT'S A YES OR NO QUESTION! IS HARPER MY DAUGHTER!?" Fitz was getting upset now.
" Yes…."
A/N: Tada the questions been answered! Harper is Fitz's daughter. I'm sorry I haven't updated in awhile.
