"Fitz…"

"Yeah Livie?"

"Can we… could you and I just spend some time together? Just the two of us? The rest of the day, just us?"

"If you think you have time, sure."

Olivia turned around and headed towards the beach. Even though neither of them were dressed for the beach, she thought she could get some perspective on how things had changed in her life with Fitz's help if they went somewhere quiet. When her phone rang, she saw it was Blake and tossed the phone in the back.

Fitz looked around where she parked on the side of the road. No one was around at all. It was quiet and the beach looked beautiful with the sun hitting the water. He followed Olivia out to the sand and towards the water watching her kick off her shoes and step into the water in her pants suit. Fitz watched her nearly dancing in the water, she looked happy and free spirited in the water, not caring if her suit got wet. She turned around and ushered him to come in with her. After kicking off his shoes, he followed in. Olivia splashed him a few times and he did the same to her. A little later she got out of the water and laid down on the sand.

"Tell me I'm doing the right thing," she told him when he laid beside her.

"Are you happy with him?"

"I… suppose… yes. I'm happy."

"Do you love him?"

"Yes."

"And he makes you happy?"

"Um… yeah"

"Livie, I think you know the answer."

"Can't you just tell me I'm doing the right thing?"

"Sure. You're doing the right thing. Marrying Blake is the right thing to do."

"I don't believe you."

Fitz stared at the sky with her for a few more minutes. "What were you and Blake arguing about over the phone earlier?"

"Just… the wedding. We have a… guest issue that he said he was supposed to take care of."

"Now I don't believe you."

They stayed silent for a few more minutes before they both sat up. "How are the kids?" she asked him.

"Teddy and Karen are great. Karen's going to college for pre law. Teddy's in soccer, loves playing goalie. Have you seen Ella?"

"She's supposed to be with Abby right now. Cyrus flew in last night with her. She should be getting her dress fitted."

"Cyrus knew you were getting married?"

"Um… yeah. I told him a few weeks after Blake proposed."

"He never told me."

"I asked him not to. I wanted to tell you myself. I just didn't know how to tell you and then when it kept getting closer to the wedding, I knew I had to tell you, no matter how difficult it was going to be."

"Difficult?"

"We have a history and Blake wasn't too happy that I wanted you here. But I talked him into it and he settled down a bit. We got into a fight about it and… and… but it's all good now."

"And? Did you two break up? He moved out? What happened?"

"HehitmebutHucktookcareofitandhe'sneverhitmeagain."

"Slow down and say that again."

"Huck took care of it and it never happened again."

"What never happened again?"

"Blake hit me. Only once and it never happened again." Liv saw Fitz's face turn into anger mode and he was ready to pounce on Blake, ready to kill him. "Fitz! Look at me!" She turned his face to look at her when he didn't. "You don't need to be worried about that. Huck took care of Blake. It didn't really hurt. And he knows that Huck will break his other arm if he ever did it again but he won't."

"He HIT you Olivia! I don't care if it hurt or not! He put his hands on you to hurt you."

"He slapped me, Fitz. It's not that big of a deal. I knew you would overreact."

"Why would I overreact? You just put up with him hitting you!"

"It was ONCE! He didn't mean to do it anyway. It never happened again and it never will."

"You're damn right it won't!"

Olivia could see the determination on his face to take care of the problem that wasn't a problem anymore. "What do you think you are going to do?!"

"I'm going to hit him. I'm going to find Blake and hit him!"

"Fitz you can't do that. Come on! I do love him. He just made a mistake. It was a couple years ago anyway. Please let it go."

Olivia gave him the puppy eyes she knew he could never resist.

"Don't do that."

She kept giving him the eyes adding the pouty lips.

"Liv… FINE! I won't beat the shit out of him, even though he deserves it."

"Thank you. Now let's enjoy the rest of the day before I get married in two days."

Olivia took him to a few of her favorite places around the city before taking him back to his hotel.

"Thanks for spending the day with me, Fitz," she told him walking him to his hotel room.

"Anytime Livie. I'm glad we get to spend some…."

"FITZY BABY!"

Both Fitz and Olivia turned to see a tallish blonde woman coming towards them.

She came over and kissed Fitz's lips taking both him and Liv by surprise.

"You're Olivia Pope! Fitz has told me so much about you."

"And nothing about you. I'm sorry, who are you?"

"Liv this is Jessica, Teddy's nanny."

"And Fitz's girlfriend."

Liv's eyes bugged out when she said girlfriend. "Um, wow. Fitz I didn't know you had a girlfriend. I'll um… I'll leave you two alone."

She started to walk away getting back to the elevator before Fitz caught up to her.

"Liv, Jess's not…"

"Jess. That's nice."

"Livie, she's not my girlfriend. She kissed me one time and I told her to back off. She just doesn't get the message."

"Fitz, it's not my business. You and Jessica enjoy the room."

"Olivia, no, I don't know why she's here."

"Do you want me to get rid of her?"

"Good luck with that."

"I'm serious. Do you want her gone?"

"Olivia you don't need to trouble yourself."

"It's kind of what I do for a living. I'll take care of this."

Fitz watched her walk back to Jessica at the hotel door. He absolutely loved to see her in action. Even though he knew she was going to take down Jessica, it was for his benefit.

"Jessica, right?"

"Yeah?"

"I honestly don't know who you think you are coming here without the child that you are supposed to be taking care of to your employer and showing up without an invitation. Here's what's going to happen. You are going to take that bag that I don't even want to know what is in it and get your butt out of this hotel and out of this city. You are going to pack your bags from anywhere where the Grant name is and get out of the house. There will be no trace of you anywhere. You are fired from being Teddy's nanny and you will not contact them again. Your inappropriate behavior is not tolerated and I will make sure that everyone knows about it if you do not do as I say. You keep your hands off of Fitz. He doesn't like you anything more than a person who cares for his son. Don't ever come back to the Grant estate. Are we clear?"

"Fitz is standing right there so he obviously didn't die and leave you in charge."

"Actually, I'm more in charge than you ever can imagine. You will do as I say and get out of the estate or else I will make sure that every possible employer you will ever have will know about your little escapades. And believe me I will find every piece of dirt there is to find on you. Including the fact that the only way you passed your final exam for three classes is because you gave blow jobs to your professors."

"How do you…"

"Do you honestly believe that anyone is let near that family without being thoroughly investigated first? I know everything about you that I need to know to make your life a living hell. So I suggest you do as I say and get the hell away from the Grants. Do I make myself clear?"

"Crystal."

Fitz watched Jessica pick up her bag and run for the elevator that was waiting for her. He turned back to see Olivia smirking.

"There, problem solved."

"How did you do that?"

"I have my ways."
