"I need to know what's going on in that room and who the hell is this person that Fitz sent for and why did he send for them" Cyrus says to himself as he paces back and forth in his office, just as he sat down to make a call the door fly's open and in walks Mellie looking less than pleased
"They should be finished by now however knowing my husband he's trying to get some before she is gone out of our lives forever, I can't wait until Olivia is just after thought and is no longer my husband's problem" she says with smile as she take a sit across from Cyrus
"She cares more about herself than him anyways, plus let's not forgets it took her no time to jump into bed with Jake so that shows the kind of woman she really is, we came up with a plan this morning she is going to use Jake as a cover and will never see Fitzgerald again after today" she states whiles playing with her ring.
"Do you really believe that he will stay away from her, do you think he can?" Cyrus says as he walks to the window "I know you have been married for almost 20 years but let's be real you both have changed a lot in 20 years some for the better and some for the worst, what I'm trying to say is that I don't think you really know him anymore not as well as Olivia's does, without her in his life he is robot he is dead he needs her in his life like I need James and Ella, you stopped caring about your husband a long time ago, so you being happy that he is losing the love of his life just makes you look and sound jaded so get over yourself and please get out of my office now" he says as he walks towards the door and opens it.
"Hey your no saint and remember I'm the first lady and you don't want to cross me we are all in this together You, Me, Rowan, Jake and let's not forget dear old dad we leaked her name because we all know that them being together they are unstoppable that's why it can never happen we have to shut this down now" she tells Cyrus before walking out the door.
Back in the Bunker
"You may kiss the bride" Aubrey says with tears in her eyes as she closes the bible and hugs Olivia then Tom and finally Fitz who is also crying "wow I have done a few wedding in my life but this takes the cake I must say you two must really love each other to do something so risky and so very dangerous, now it's time for part 2 of this crazy ass plan I believe it time to leak the happy news to the press but before that let us toast to a job well done" she says with a smile and rises a glass to the happy couple.
"This Kimberly Mitchell with some late breaking news 2months ago Mellie Grant did an interview with James Novak in which she stated that her Husband had been unfaithful to her not naming any names there was nothing go on until now it was leaked this morning that Olivia Pope was the presidents mistress however we have just received news that Olivia Carolyn Pope Weds longtime love Thomas Harvey Rogers in a top secret ceremony 6 months ago Thomas aka Tom the head of President Grants secret service detail and a very close friend he met the woman he now calls wife though President Grant now you go live to the White House where we will get a statement from The President.
"Thank you all for coming I will be making a statement in regards to the misinformation that you all have received today in regards to Mrs. Pope, Olivia is a very dear friend of mine as is her husband whom I trust with my life and the life of my family however theses lies have threaten to ruin two very amazing people and I will not stand by and let it happen so I will say this on record Olivia Pope has never been my mistress she is my very Close friend and will continue to be that, Thomas I have known for almost 8 years he is a good man and Care deeply for Olivia So I ask on behalf of my friend that you give them their space and respect their privacy thank you all for your time that will be all for now."
In Blair House
Cyrus comes in and says "So much for your damn plan Mellie she played you good so good that I'm going to send her a very nice bottle wine with my congrats on a job well done" he says as takes a seat across form Mellie who looks Shocked and very confused as to what Cyrus is talking about.
"What the hell are you going on about Cyrus, I know Olivia is gone and that's all that matters whatever she and Jake want to do to each other I couldn't care less she is out of my life and my husbands for good so what are you rejoicing about that tramp would never cross me so speak up Cy I don't have all day" she says still doing her paper work.
"You're so busy doing nothing this that you have not seen YOUR husband latest press conference have you allow me to show what I'm rejoicing about "He opens the laptop he brought with him and plays the press conference for her "I guess we should give him more credit he not just some dumb love sick puppy like we make him out to be" he gets up close the laptop and starts walking out only to be stop by Mellie calling out to him.
"Cyrus gloat all you want but whatever they are planning we need find out what it's and shut them down, I will not lose to that woman now I would be a good time to get everyone together for a meeting I will call the old man you get Rowan and Jake" she says as she walks into another room to make the phone call.
*Flashback to 3 years ago at Camp David*
"Hey we need to be working on your speech for that huge conference you have up north and your leaving in 4 days so keep you hand too yourself Mr. President and let this done and maybe if your good we can play later ok"
she says with a playful grin they had been working on this speech for almost two days now but they kept getting distracted by each other, he would watch the way she would pull her thumb across her bottom lip and all he could think about was kissing those full lips it drove him mad when he couldn't touch her, she would watch him when he was thinking he look like a boy lost in his own mind so tried but so handsome she couldn't wait to get him alone not just so they could make love but just to hold him, talk to him and tell him that everything will be okay hopefully.
"Well it would be easier if you were dress like that how is a man supposed to get any work done with you walking around in my one of my dress shirts and some white socks if you're trying to kill its working" he says pulling her into his lap and holding tight so she couldn't get away
"I want to ask you something, what if someone ever finds us we will both be ruined and there will be no coming back from this maybe we should have some kind of plan just in case worst happens and I'm not saying it will but for my peace of mind please" she ask with a smile he kisses her on the nose and gets up and goes to the door and stands there for a moment.
"There is some things you don't about me and my life before becoming president not even Mellie knows what I'm about to tell you is some big things and I understand if you need time after what I'm about to reveal to you.
I have two younger brothers Nicholas Thornton and Thomas Black I have never met Nicolas but Thomas came looking for me when he found out that we were bothers we became very close I trust with everything so because no one knew about him I chose him as my head SS agent so Thomas Black is now Tom Rogers the man is standing outside right now, Oh but there's more I was married to a woman name Ezra Rose before I met Mellie, however the old man didn't like or approve of her because she wasn't the same hue as me so he did everything under the sun to get her to leave but she wouldn't she never stood down to my father and never took his crap and I loved her for that so when she informed me that we were having a baby all I could do was panic. At about the 7 month mark we made a plan to leave so the baby would be safe we had also made the painful choice to give the baby away so that they would have their best chance. Can remember the day the baby came 12 hours of labor she was born in Topeka 8lbs 6oz she was amazing and so full of life and all Ezra did was cry and keep saying "I'm doing what's best for her" we named her Aubrey Mackenzie Rose and Ezra's mother took her and raised her as her own. On the way back home we got into a horrible car wreck Ezra got thrown for the car she was in a coma 6 years when she woke up and went into hiding with her mother and Aubrey. Besides the day she was born and on her 6th birthday the day her mom woke up I have not seen my first child in a very long, your still sitting here so I take it you're not going to run away from me because of my past , One more small thing I'm still legally married to Ezra which means that my marriage to Mellie is not valid so now that I have told most of my life's story I'm going to give you some time to think over everything I have said, But just in case we do get exposed Tom can be your cover Husband I trust him and I know he would never harm you and in anyway shape or form" he finishes by sliding down the door and sitting on the floor with his head in his hands wait for her to say something.
She gets up and walks into the bedroom and comes back out with a blanket and joins him on the floor and says "Thank you for sharing your past with me I'm glad you trust me enough to share all that with me, so you have a real wife and a Fake wife" she says with a smile "are you sure that Tom wants to play stand in I mean lets be real now Fitz that's a lot to ask of someone and he is not getting anything out this I know he is family but why would he help us like this" they both get up and Fitz opens the and ask Tom to come in.
"Good evening Miss Pope I take it that Fuzzy has told you everything?" he says giving Olivia a small hug
"Yes Fuzzy has told me everything, I'm sorry but why do call him Fuzzy?" she asks
Tom laughs and leans up against the door "that was one of his nicknames in the navy, I found it funny so that what I call him that or Tripp" just then Fitz came out of the kitchen with a nice bottle of red and three glasses.
They spent a few hours talking about "the plan" and sharing story until Tom's shift was done, leaving Olivia and Fitz alone to talk more.
"I would love to meet Aubrey someday, I'm sure she is beautiful and very smart" she says "I still can't believe you have a grown child, what does she look like do you have any photos of her "ask with a smile
"I'm shocked at how okay you are with all that you have learn this evening and your still sitting here with me, what did I do to get someone so amazing in my life I love you Olivia more than words can say "he gets up and comes back with his briefcase and sets it down "she is always with me just like you are you two never far from my heart "they spent the rest of the evening talking and making love.
*End of Flashback*
So this chapter will be split into two parts and I hope that this chapter answers some of the question posed in the last one and whatever I missed I will explains in the next chapter.
Ok so Olivia is married now but I hope everyone understood what I did.
She married to Fitz and Tom is the cover (I'm sorry I can't stand Jake with Olivia)
