I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
I don't want to miss a thing-Aerosmith

"Harrison! What are you doing here?"
"Quinn!"
"Abby!"
"I'm here too." Huck whispers as everyone turns to look at him, they were at the office on a weekend something they have not done in a while since Olivia started a family of her own.
As they gather around the conference room in the corner on the table, a phone rings- a phone that has never been there before.
Harrison walks over to the phone and places it on speaker "hello?"
"It's me." Fitz sings
"What do you want." Harrison asks trying desperately to stop him from singing Adele's new song.
"Good morning, Angels," Fitz responds
"Good morning Charlie." Harrison responds gleefully; ignoring Abby and Quinn's annoyed stares.
"Really Harrison?" Abby asked
"I always wanted to say that."
"Fitz!"
"Got damn it, I should have known."
"Why do you have Olivia's phone?" each one of them yelled simultaneously on the phone.
"Your boss is currently dealing with a case of hemorrhoids and cannot come to the phone right now."
"I thought Liv had a code for her phone because you hacked it last time." Quinn stated remembering Olivia coming to her needing the top security programs for her phone after Fitz sent text and emails to everyone in the group.
Fitz snorts on the phone "Note to spy geeks all of your secret programming means nothing when all I have to do is type the year we got married."
"Asshole" Quinn murmurs
"Gretchen!" Fitz yells on the phone, and immediately a talk lanky man entered the office carrying folders for each of them.
"Yes Mr. Grant?"
"Remember to take off a point for lumber butch."
"Yes Mr. Grant."
"Fitz, what the hell are these folders for?" Harrison asked looking at them in disbelief as everyone takes their seat in their respective chair.
"And why are you taking points?" Abby asked
"Because Angels, I have the most important client you will ever meet and shall ever have. Open the first page and you shall start to become acquainted."
"Fitz, it's a sonogram?"
"Oh gosh, Harrison I thought you were smarter, Liv must keep you around for your milk chocolate skin and fabulous wardrobe."
"Come on Fitz."
"That sonogram is not just a sonogram- that is Angie who shall be granting us with her presences in three weeks…did you guys like that pun." Fitz laughed at his own joke.
"Angie will need godparents, and Liv can't possible choose which one to be her godparent so I told her I will handle this situation."
"Did Liv really give you the realms?" Abby asked honestly
"Of course she did, our marriage is based on mutual partnership-what a horrible thing to say." Fitz responded mockingly hurt.
"Get to the point, Fitz."
"The point is, Quinn. Angie needs godparents and I can only pick two to become America's next top model and because Angie is the most precious thing in the world, I can't possible leave her with just anybody, but the best."
Gretchen walks in pushing several watermelons as everyone stares in disbelief at what Fitz has decided to do now.
"There shall be several tasks that you shall complete, whoever finishes the quickest and with no errors shall win this round and be one step closer to obtaining the throne. On one group we have Neapolitan and on the other huckleberry Quinn."
"Wait, why are we Neapolitan?" Harrison asked confused by their name.
"Fitz calls me Red which is strawberry and I'm white-vanilla and you are the chocolate."
Harrison nods his head impressed by Fitz's nickname "nice"
"Why thank you Harrison, but even though your nose is brown it shall not help you score more points."
"…"
"The watermelons have been oiled down, each team will have to place a diaper on the watermelon and then preceded to clothe Angie without dropping her, whoever does it the quickest without dropping my baby wins this round but if Gretchen catches you wiping off the oil you are automatically disqualified from the games- Panem today, Panem tomorrow, Panem forever." Before Fitz decides to disconnect he plays the mocking jay theme music for added effect.
"This is crazy!" Abby yells annoyed "I am not doing this!" she storms off grabbing her purse and phone.
"She's coming back, you know." Quinn tells Harrison
"Ohh I know."
"You guys didn't fall for that?" Abby asked shocked after three minutes of hiding in her office.
"Nope." Everyone said in unison
Taking off her leather jacket and popping her knuckles Quinn looks around the room with anticipation "Let the games begin."
/
In the safety of their own bed, the young couple lay intertwined – staring at the ceiling and holding each other tight, finding comfort in their closeness and the blanket of darkness over them.
"Is your butt feeling better?" Fitz asked sweetly gently reaching under Olivia's shirt to rub her ass soothingly
"Yeah…" she murmurs meekly
"Baby?"
"Yeah?"
"How much do you love me?" Olivia asked sincerely
"Too much."
"Enough to push my hemorrhoid in…"
"Yes, which I have done by the way."
"Enough to shave me down there?"
"I would like to do that." He answered honestly enjoying Olivia moving closer to his side so that he could wrap her up in his arms tighter.
"You would?" she asked shocked.
"Yes, when the doctors and the nurses go down and check your lady bits, I'm going to have a huge arrow pointing downward in case they forget."
"…"
"You haven't shaved down there in months, so it's pretty hairy."
"…"
"I could possibly make a chia pet out of it."
"…"
"Or, I could write 'TG', that way everyone knows property of…" The look Olivia gave him quickly made him change his mind "Olivia…" he smiles all too sweetly before kissing her on the lips.
"I hate being so overweight."
"I've never seen you look more beautiful."
"Really?" Olivia asked in a tiny voice as she played with the ends of Fitz's brown curls. They'd been quiet for some time now – surely it was time for one of them to speak up.
"I thank God for you Olivia." The look in his eyes and the sincerest in his voice easily made Olivia tear up, she hugs him tightly before connecting with his lips.
"I love you so much, Fitz. It's scary how much I need you."
He shakes his head at her statement "I will always need you more."
"No, Fitz I really don't think you have any idea how much you have changed me- my world – my life…I never thought I would be married…or starting a family; I just didn't think I was that type of person. Does that make sense?" She asked "you entered my life and I haven't been the same- you say that I woke you up from your coma…but it was you who woke me up." Tears fall freely from her face, no longer ashamed of crying in front of him and because of him.
Fitz's hand gently reaches up to wipe her tears before leaning in for a gentle kiss. Fitz held Olivia's hand gently in his making sure to kiss the palm of her hand before playing with the set of rings that accompanying her wedding finger before finally kissing those as well.
"I knew you would come and find me." Olivia whispers sleepily
He freezes momentarily at her statement, he remembers that day clearly. In his other world with the other Liv, he asked her what would happen if he ever lost her and the words she spoke to him have been with him every day since 'come find me, I'll be waiting for you.' At last he has finally found her.
Fitz smiles sweetly at her, leaning down "I'll always find you." He whispered claiming Olivia's mouth. He kisses her, his tongue probing Olivia's lips. Olivia opened her lips, welcoming Fitz's tongue as she grabbed Fitz face bringing his lips closer to hers.
"Fitz…" She pants as he enters her, elongating her back, allowing him entry.
She gasps as he stretches her walls, he kisses her hard and passionately, her nails dig into the pillow hoping to ease this indescribable feeling he was spreading throughout her body.
"I just want you to feel good, you feel so good to me." He whispers in her ear before kissing it.
She whimpers in pleasure unable to speak, everything Fitz is doing and saying is leaving her completely and utterly breathless.
She consumed him, all he felt was her all around him inviting him, he licks and bites her skin, leaving a bite mark on her shoulder.
Their connected, they exchange the words they can't say, but what their soul feels.
Their bodies moved and hardened, her soft moans encourage him to keep going every time he hit her spot
Her hands grip the sheets as she bites her lip to stop screaming, reaching over her, Fitz interlocks their hands as they gaze into one another's eyes. He can't remove his eyes from hers; everything she is feeling is being transferred to him- pleasure, love, and obsession.
"Deeper" she whispers deeply
His lips silence her moans of pleasure as he moves deeper insider while whispering in her ear everything he felt.
He knew she was close, her walls started to tighten, her lips started to quiver; she fought to keep her eyes focused on him as her orgasm took over. Soon her body shook from the pleasure he was giving her. Her gaze wounded him pushing him closer to nirvana.
Hearing his name being echoed throughout the room Fitz groans loudly as he came inside of her, leaving both completely and utterly spent.
His chest heaved, her breath dispersed, her lips quiver.
She's not sure what it has been recently but she can't seem to get enough of him, every little thing he does makes her heart swell and fluster at the sight of him. Whether he's putting up groceries, massaging her feet, or setting the baby's crib up- there is something indescribably sexy and beautiful about him maybe it's the fact that she can call him husband or look at him and see her future and every possible thing she shall ever want or need in his eyes.
While Fitz sleeps on her chest she plays with the nape of his neck where his hair ringlets. Olivia never saw herself being a wife…a mother. Sure she always wanted to be one but never found it to be possible that she could possess that sense of normalcy she craves yet cringes from but with Fitz she has found the perfect medium between norm and abnormal, but every day she finds herself drooling over this man she calls husband, she smiles shyly at the time they babysat Abby and Stephen's daughter Ella.
/
"Liv, I don't want to babysit. I am not a babysitter- I'm a daddy."
"Well, daddy you will be babysitting for the rest of your life so you might as well get use to it."
"I love Ella but I wanted to have grown-up babysitting."
"Grownup babysitting?"
"You know…boom-boom."
Olivia laughs loudly "I've never heard that before."
"Well you most certainly heard 'ooh daddy' oooh Fitz' 'fuck me baby'" mimicking Olivia's voice causing her to her bend over at the table to catch her breath
"Ahh, getting in position already" Fitz quickly moves behind her touching her in all the right places, somehow Fitz managed to make her forget about what she was laughing about to downright convulsing at him gently pulling down her panties. At five months pregnant, Liv had never felt sexier; her baby bump was noticeable but not overwhelming her boobs turned into the perfect size.
"Are you wet for me ?" Fitz's hand gently teases her entrance causing Olivia to moan in pleasure.
"Are you?" he asked again
"Yes, only you baby." She turns her head to kiss him while she grabs his hand and places it inside her.
"Liv" he moans at the feel of her, reaching behind her back she starts to undue his belt buckle but Fitz quickly takes over and without notice he enters her from behind causing the world to disappear at the insurmountable pleasure he is giving her.
"More " she moans feeling her climax coming "Fitz…"
Knock knock knock
And just like that she was out of the moment, running to grab a napkin and clean herself off before answering the door.
"Fitz, get over here." She hisses to him from the door as she watches Fitz lock himself in the bathroom.
"Abby!" she exclaims out of breath
"Bad time."
"No" she says quickly "not at all" shaking her head ignoring Abby's quizzical look.
"Where's Fitz?"
"He had to run to the restroom."
"Liv are you sure about this? Taking care of a toddler is a big responsibility and I understand if you don't feel up to it."
"Abby, no. I am going to be a mom, I have to get use to taking care of someone else and making pb&j sandwiches…Fitz and I can use this practice. "
"Okay, but if she gets out of control and you can't calm her down just call me or Stephen and we will be right over."
"Abby go enjoy your date with your husband, we will be okay. I already have one baby so I don't see how hard it's going to be taking care of another one."
Laughing at Olivia's joke Abby kisses Ella and quickly leaves causing two year old Ella to scream a run after her to the door.
"Come here, Ella it's okay. Mommy will be back." Olivia holds her, bounces her, but nothing seems to soothe a crying Ella until Fitz walks in and immediately takes her from Olivia's arms.
"Let's have some ice cream…you want to watch Frozen and have ice cream?" Fitz asked excitedly
"Yeah!" Ella screamed happily as her and Fitz walked into the kitchen leaving a flabbergasted Olivia by herself in the walk way.
And just like that, everything was perfectly fine. On couch Fitz and Ella were eating a bowl of ice cream while watching Frozen. Just when Olivia thought she knew everything about Fitz, he surprises her and now he could add to his resume 'baby whisper.'
"How did you do that?" Olivia asked snuggled in his arms as the movie played on
"What" he asked never taking his eyes off the screen
"Get Ella to stop crying."
"Oh, she's just scared and I had to show her that I don't want to harm her but be her friend."
She stares at him, amazed. "You're incredible." She whispers more to herself than to him.
"Don't you ever forget" He responds winking at her before kissing her lips.
"Fitz, I don't know if Abby wants Ella to go swimming."
"Why not" Fitz asked taking off Ella's shirt as him and Liv struggled with putting on her swimsuit
"Some parents don't want their kids swimming without them."
"I'm going to be in the water with her"
"Some parents don't feel comfortable with their child going in the water…can you imagine Angie going swimming without us there?" Liv asked making Fitz stop and think, he knows if Harrison was to take his baby swimming he would be livid or anyone for that matter. As long as Angie was with him and Liv he knew they were safe but like any father and husband he worried about them constantly, if they were scared, if they needed him.
Nodding his head "okay, no swimming."
And just like that, the meltdown of the century occurred. Olivia covered her ears and Fitz immediately jumped at the screeching high pitch wail coming from the two year old.
"How can someone so small scream so loud?" Fitz asked yelling to Liv, hoping to drown out Ella's temper tantrum
"I don't know!" Olivia yelled back "Ella, stop crying everything is okay."
Between the sobs and flying snot being thrown around the two were able to put together that Ella was crying about swimming.
"Just call, Abby." Fitz said pleadingly
"Okay"
Hearing Ella's crying Abby immediately wanted to come and pick her up but Olivia insisted that the only thing she was crying about was swimming and Abby gave her consent as long as Ella didn't get her ears wet and Fitz was holding her the entire time.
"How do you do it?" Olivia asked watching Fitz tuck a sleeping Ella into the guest bed
"Do what, Fitz asked walking into their bedroom?"
"Make me want you more than I already do." He snorts at Liv
"I'm serious, Fitz. Watching you in the water with her…I imagined you with Angie and my body is literally on fire. You were so attentive." Her hands rub his chest as she looks up at him "nurturing, in the most sexiest way possible… and your body…" she pulls down his shorts and looks down at his semi hard erection reaching down to stroke him; loving the feel of him in her hand.
"The water was glistening off your abs and you just…" she stops speaking as she looks at his lustful stare. "I want you, Fitz. Do you want me?" she whispers on his lips before licking them and sucking them greedily.
"I always want you, Liv." He grabs her hair forcefully as he swallows her mouth whole.
On his knees in the middle of the bed he watches his wife spread her legs for him, involuntary inviting him to join her in their own world made for just them.
"Just relax, and let me take care of you." His voice drops an octave as he looks at his wife.
Fitz, peers down at her and watches her shallow breath. "Spread your legs."
She abides his command, spreading her legs.
"Wider" he commands and just like that, Fitzgerald Grant went swimming once again this time swimming in the depths that is Olivia Pope.

"Harrison, you are worthless!" Abby hisses angry that her and Harrison where still struggling to put the diaper on the watermelon whereas the killer couple had just put their diaper on and are getting beginning to put the clothes on.
"Abby, you have the baby you should be the pro."
"Stupid Fitz greased this watermelon so much it like controlling a fizzing soda."
"Is that code, for Stephen's…"
"No" she yells
"Just asking" Harrison responds meekly "We got it." Quickly the two begin working on the clothes in hopes of catching up with Quinn and Huck.
"How can anybody fight that tight hole?"
"That hole is too tight."
"It's too big."
"That's what your mom said last night, snap."
Everyone jumps at the sound of Fitz's voice. They were angry to be here but they enjoyed the team work but most importantly the lack of Fitz. While everyone loves him, his constant antics and all around mayhem can be troublesome to the say the least, the best part about Fitz coming to OPA is that he comes with Olivia…but when Liv's away the lunatic shall play.
"Where are you?" Quinn asked looking around the room.
"It's warm and cozy."
"Fitz, why are you here?" Abby asked annoyed but still quietly working on her watermelon while Quinn and Huck looked around for Fitz.
"By here, what exactly do you mean?"
"He's not here."
"Oh Harrison beauty and brains"
"I am in my warm bed, talking to my lovely wife."
"Keep talking to her." Harrison retorts
"Have you guys finished?"
"No"
"Done" Huck rushes out quickly and for the first time happily
"What!"
"We beat you!" Quinn yells happily
"Fitz, Quinn's bragging nobody likes a bragger."
"That's not what your mom said last night."
"Burnnn" Fitz says through the speaker phone laughing at Harrison's expense.
"Leave my mom out."
"But your mom wants to be in."
"Oh another burn."
"Shut up Fitz."
"Gretchen!"
"Yes, Mr. Grant."
"Did they win this task?"
Looking over at Huck and Quinn's baby, inspecting it closely he nods "yes, sir."
"wohoo"
"Excellent." Fitz says happily "give them the gold star."
"Red and chocolate, I expected better from you."
Whistling through the phone, Gretchen walks out only to return five minutes later bring back with him high ticket items.
"What is this Fitz?" Abby asked looking at the crib, high chair, bouncer and swing.
"This red is your last chance. You only get one shot. Do not miss your chance to blow."
"Fitz, stop rapping Eminem"
"Huck and Quinn will get the crib and swing and you and Abby will get the high chair and bouncer."
"Fitz, didn't you already set up this stuff at your house?" Abby asked as she recalls Liv getting off the phone with her one night so that she could watch Fitz set up the crib and bouncer with his shirt off again after begging him to redo it .
"You are correct; this isn't for our home. But Liv most certainly would be upset that I am making ya'll do this."
"Why, because you are getting free labor?" Quinn asked
"Nope, Liv really likes it watching me put things up around the house- she has a thing for handy men."
"I'm calling Liv."
"I have her phone" Fitz says in a song like voice before hanging up.
/
"Fitz?"
"Yeah?"
"What do you think Angie is like?"
He smiles happily as he thinks about his little girl; every night he thinks about Angie and his heart cries at the thought of seeing her again and his heart pangs with sadness for how long they have been parted.
"She's amazing, Liv. She is so smart, witty, funny." He laughs loudly as he thinks about this little person who saw that he was not her daddy but with time and her understanding he became her daddy; her hero.
"You act, like you've seen her."
"I have" Fitz lifts his head up from the pillow to stare at Olivia "I see Angie every night."
"What's she like?" Olivia ask moving closer to Fitz side of the bed curious to hear any details about Angie.
"Angie …she has this halo, Liv. I swear if you stare at her long enough she does and she has these tight ringlets on the top of her head and goodness…" he stops talking getting lost in the memory
"What?" Olivia asked excited yet annoyed that Fitz didn't finish what he was saying
"She a mini Olivia Pope." He laughs loudly turning to his side "she has your smile and your lips." He traces Olivia's lips with his thumb loving the slight quiver of her lips from the contact.
"What else does she have of mine?"
He plays with her perfectly symmetrical nose "your nose…she even has the scrunch."
"She does?" Olivia exclaims excitedly
Fitz nods his head "she does but the best thing you ever gave her; was your heart."
She kisses him tenderly as her eyes swell with this unexplainable joy.
"Do you think I will be a good mom, Fitz?" she whispers softly as she lays her head on his chest.
Lifting her head up so that she can see the truth in his answer "You will be the best mother, you already are."
"How can you say that?"
"Liv, you brought people who have been broken and you made them whole; you made them your family. Your gladiators adore you and you adore them. People come to you on their worst days and you make their day better; you don't judge them or discourage them, you listen, you give them your unequivocal support and though you might not have given birth to any of them, for that moment you are their mother. Are baby will be so thankful to call you mommy."
She stares at him as she cries silently. Fitz is not perfect and neither is she but he is pretty darn close to perfection. Fitz knows the exact words to ease her mind, when she falls her picks her up and dust her and tells her she's okay and with his trust in her she is okay.
"We're going to have a baby, Fitz" she whispers happily
"Were having a baby, Liv.
/
Fitz walks into OPA, holding Olivia's hand.
"Fitz, you made them set up the crib and high chair?"
He nods his head sadly "sorry"
Olivia shakes her head smiling happily "that was smart."
They watch the gladiators sit down exhausated. Everything was finished, crib, high-chair, bouncer and swing.
"Thank you" Olivia voices out making everyone jump at the sight of her.
"Olivia, are you okay?" Huck asked moving to check on her.
"I'm fine, you guys are just incredible and Fitz told me about the godparent operation and I want to thank you all for coming and fighting to be Angie's godparents but "
"You already had someone didn't you?" Quinn chokes out hurt
"I did." Olivia nods her head solemnly
"Thanks a lot, Fitz." Harrison responds sadly
"I'm sorry; it's just – I can't just pick one godparent or even two…Fitz and I decided long ago who Angie's godparents were, we just didn't know how to ask without making them feel obligated.
"So…who is it?" Abby spat
"My family." Olivia responded simply
"Great" Harrison, Quinn, Abby and even Huck walk out of the office
"That means my gladiators." Liv says before they could fully walk away.
"Are you serious?" Quinn asked happily
"Yeah, you guys are our family and we love you all and we know that you guys love Angie and would protect her."
"I'll be her guard dog." Huck says quietly though he smiles as he says it, excited about Olivia starting a family and getting to be a part of their life.
"Of course." Fitz said slapping Huck on the back
"You are all Angie's godparents."
"Wait, why the test Fitz?"
Moving back to Olivia, he wraps his arm around her waist for much needed protection "Angie, will be spending most of her time here at OPA with her mommy and she's going to need a crib here as well as a bouncer and high chair." He responds sheepishly
They stare at Fitz angry that he made them all come in on a Saturday and do his job for him while he stayed at home with Olivia."
"You had us do your job." Harrison spat
"Well" he plays with his feet shyly "It would have taken me all day and Liv likes making me redo them…"
" Fitz, you should probably go." Abby warns him
"Why?"
"Because we might kill you."
"Wait, before you kill me. We got you guys a gift." Liv hands him them bags placed in her purse. Gently with care Fitz hands them each their gift.
Opening their tiffany bags the girls squealed with delight at the sight of their charm bracelet with a pendant that said 'God mother'. Harrison subtly teared up opening up his box of engraved cufflinks that had Angie's initials. Huck smiled and hugged both Fitz and Olivia when he opened his gift and saw that he had a new mouse pad that said 'Godfather' and a coffee mug that said 'Angie's Godfather.'
"You didn't have to do this."
"We did, this is just to show our gratitude and appreciation." Fitz said kindly hoping they would forgive him for tricking them into doing his work.
"Thank you Olivia and Fitz."
"Thank you"
"Thank you" They each said.
"Thank you, for putting up with us. I hope you know you guys are stuck with us three." Olivia said jokingly as they went in for a group hug.
/
"Did you have a good day?" Fitz asked sweetly as he massaged Olivia's feet in bed while watching the news.
"I did, because of you."
"I'm glad."
"Where are you going." Olivia whined as she watched Fitz jump from bed and walk into the closet.
"Close your eyes." He said excitedly once he returned to bed "come on, Liv. No funny business, I promise." He said hoping to ease quizzical stare not sure if she should trust Fitz.
"Open your eyes" he commands as he hands her a box as well only it didn't come from Tiffany's "You didn't think I could buy everyone else a gift and not buy you one right."
"Open it" he urges
"Fitz…" her eyes tear up as she pulls out the yellow gold Jennifer Meyer necklace with the word 'mommy' written on it.
She hugs him tightly as he kisses her head and rubs her back soothingly before placing the necklace around her neck.
"You were born to wear that necklace." He touches the pendant gently before looking up at Olivia staring lovingly at him.
"Thank you, Fitz." She looks down at her necklace smiling happily at the piece of jewelry. She was happy to be called Wife, several times a day she would make a reference to her 'husband' because no matter how much she said it she never got tired of hearing it but now she found that she has another noun to add to her growing list; mommy.
"You were born to be a mother, Olivia Pope."
"And you were made to be my husband and father of our children." He smiles sweetly at her gently drying her tears before caressing her nose.
He watches her fight to stay awake "go to sleep" he whispers as he hugs her tighter as they lay in each other's arms.
'I don't want to "she whispers sleepily but defiantly
"Why not?"
"I don't want to miss anything."
He kisses her lips, never getting enough of her taste. Truthfully he understands where Olivia is coming from, he too doesn't want to go to sleep and miss her. Watching Olivia sleep is probably one of the best things about having her as his wife, he can watch her sleep and see her smile hoping and praying that it was him that brought the smile to her face but sometimes even the her deep rhythmic breathing was soothing to him, simply placing his head on her chest he could feel her heart beating, feel the deep respirations as her chest expanded.
"Go to sleep, Livvie."
"Will you go to sleep too?" she asked sweetly as her fight to stay open
"Yeah, I'll come find you in your dream."
She smiles sleepily before nodding her head "okay"
"Sweet dreams, Livvie." He whispers
"Fitz…"
"Yeah"
"We're going to be parents."
"We're going to be parents."
