Hi All…
Oh the Love! Thanks for the love peeps! I am overwhelmed by all of you and I can't believe that this morning people would love the story this much…both this one and 'Give Me Love'…thanks guys…you are the best…Sorry for being the evil queen…
Anyway, a lot of you are rooting for Tom and so, after like a second of decision making time, I've decided to go with Tom, but that doesn't mean I can't have fun with Harrison…I have some ideas…*giggles gleefully* Besides, has anybody actually seen a Jealous Tom? Or a jealous Harrison? I can't wait!
And many people are wondering when Fitz will find out about Baby Grant…soon my dears…maybe in this chapter, maybe next chapter…who knows…
Anyway, this chapter is going to be crazy, funny, frustrating but it's a good chapter…Now that Tom is there, I wonder…
Enjoy and don't forget to leave some love after the chapter! Also, 'Give Me Love' will be updated soon...still writing it...
I own nothing but my dear Jenny…I am glad that people like her…we need people like her on the show...
Chapter Seven – Consequences
Olivia was pissed. She couldn't believe the nerve, the idea of the fact that Fitz would send Tom to Australia just check up on her. She was angry and she wanted to give him a piece of her mind. She was pacing in circles in Jenny's living room after finding out that Tom was at the door. Tom could only be here for one reason and she knew who would order him to come to Jenny's home.
"How…fucking…the fucking nerve…bloody bastard!" she sneered as she paced.
Jenny sighed. "Olivia, calm…be calm…"
Olivia stopped and stared at her. "Calm? How can I be fucking calm? He sent Tom, to what? Look after me? To bring me home? To keep an eye on me? Make sure I don't leave him again? Oh…he…he should be glad he's on the other side of the fucking world. He had the nerve to send one of his agents…why?"
"Why don't we ask Tom that question, shall we? And Olivia, calm the fuck down." Jenny stared her down before turning to Tom. "Why don't you tell me why you're here?"
Tom nodded. "Miss Pope is right, but just as a precaution. He wants to know that you will be safe and will be brought home safely. I am here to make sure that happens. I am sure that you are more than capable to look after Miss Pope, but the President wanted to add more security. No offense."
Jenny scoffed, angry at the reason. "None taken...I mean understand. The President sent you to protect Olivia from my family."
"Ma'am, I –"
"No, no…it's fine. But you should know, while I may have people reporting my every move back to my mother, I don't talk to them. In fact, I haven't spoken to my mother since before I joined the army and I want nothing to do with her, but I let her follow me and send in bodyguards because it gives her peace of mind. But be assured Agent, I am more than capable of looking after both myself and Olivia, without spies, bodyguards and personal Secret Service agents that work for the President of United States. I can only assume that you've read my personal file, so you would know about my military past and my stint in the Army and my work as rifleman/sniper."
"Ma'am…"
"Don't ma'am me…I don't like be called ma'am." Jenny scolded.
Olivia smiled at Jenny's attitude and was glad she had a friend like Jenny. It was unusual friendship for sure, but Olivia was glad she decided to take the chance to be her friend. She remembered all those years ago when she first met her and how she took to Jenny and her attitude. Olivia had made the right decision to call her when she left the US. She knew that she would be safe with Jenny and not because of Jenny's mother, but because of Jenny herself. Although Jenny's actions in the Army left Jenny with a hearing disability, Olivia knew that Jenny was a risk-taker and she was brave. She was braver than Olivia herself, as Jenny made decisions that Olivia never could and Jenny was honest. In a way, Jenny reminded Olivia of a female version of Fitz, but more edgy and tougher. Not that Fitz was tough and edgy, Jenny had an attitude about her that made Olivia like her and love her. Olivia classed Jenny as a sister. Although she was a little uncomfortable about Jenny defending her, she was glad.
She hadn't been feeling well because the morning sickness and so was glad to let Jenny scold at Tom, who was just standing at her with an impressed look on his face. If Olivia didn't know any better, she would say that Tom had a crush on Jenny. She smiled to herself if that was the case, because if these two did become a couple, it would be interesting to see how these two would work. The two had similar backgrounds and were both fiercely protective to people they loved. Jenny was fiercely loyal and protective of Olivia and Tom was the same to Fitz. She knew that protecting Fitz was not a job for Tom, it was his life and she knew that Tom would do anything for him.
Olivia sighed, thinking about Fitz. Jenny was right. She had to fight for him, if not for herself but for the child growing inside her belly. Although everything was crazy at the moment, she knew that Fitz would do anything for her and for their child. She knew that Fitz would drop everything for her and be with her on this journey and while Olivia wanted that, she also wanted him to keep his position as President. She wanted so desperately to call him and tell him about the child, to call him and scold at him about sending Tom to Bundaberg to protect her. Jenny was still scolding at Tom and so Olivia spoke.
"Jenny, there's no point. Tom is here now and he's not going anywhere." Olivia told her.
Jenny crossed her arms. "I know, but that doesn't mean he gets away with it. I'm perfectly capable of looking after someone and besides, Olivia, you're a grown woman and so you should be allowed to look after yourself. While I am all for the happy ending, I think it's just pathetic that he thinks I can't do a could job of protecting you, not that you need protecting and that it's childish that he sends his puppy to look after you."
"Puppy? That's a bit harsh…I'm not a puppy…If anything, I'm a Rottweiler…a strong but dedicated dog…not puppy." Tom defended himself.
Olivia and Jenny looked at him. Jenny laughed. "You're calling yourself a dog? And seriously, a Rottweiler? More like Labrador…if we're talking dogs…"
"So basically you're calling me soft? I am here on-"
"On orders…but the story is that you're here on a holiday or whatever but we all know that the president sent you here to protect Olivia from me. You basically said so the minute you walked into my house. Goddam that man is infuriating…" Jenny started to ramble in Italian and Tom stood there, confused.
"Uh…I know I'm an agent, but even understanding Italian is beyond my abilities…" he muttered to Olivia.
Olivia smiled. "Don't worry, she does that when she's angry…just be thankful she's speaking in Italian not her father's language."
Tom frowned. "Her father's language?"
"Her indigenous language. She comes from an indigenous community and so they have their own language. Once she's starts speaking that language, you know that she's more than angry, she's in death mode..." Olivia told him.
Tom nodded. "Good to know…"
Jenny continued to ramble in Italian and Olivia giggled quietly to herself as she stared at Tom, who seemed be to transfigured by her. He definitely had a crush on Jenny. Olivia then felt a wave of nausea come over her and she swayed a little, feeling faint.
"Jenny…" she whispered before suddenly, everything black.
0*0*0*0*0
When Olivia came too, she noticed that she was not in the living room of Jenny's house, but in a bed in a room that looked a lot like a hospital. She frowned, looking down at her body, which was covered in a hospital robe and a blanket was covering her and she kept wondering why she was in such place when she remembered and groaned.
"Liv?" a woman's voice that sounded so much like Jenny's asked.
Olivia groaned. "Why am I in a hospital? I just passed out…that's it…"
Jenny sighed. "Thank fuck you're alright…You just passed out? You did more than that...you blacked out and we couldn't wake you up. Like at all…you were dead to the world, well not dead but unconscious and so Tom and I called truce and brought you here."
Olivia nodded. "I see...and the-"
"Baby is fine…well, I don't know…they asked me to let them know when you're conscious and they'll do an ultrasound but I think that baby will be okay. I mean you weren't bleeding or anything…you just passed out and then didn't wake up. Talk about some scary shit." Jenny told her.
Olivia sighed. "Does Tom know?"
Jenny nodded. "Yeah… He kinda heard me telling the doctors and now he's out there trying very hard not to call the President, though he can't because I have his phone but I suppose there are other ways to call the President of the United States."
Olivia frowned. "How…"
"I can be very persuasive…when I want to be…I told him that it wasn't his news to tell and that you will tell him when you were ready and that if Fitz was to find out, he would not hesitate to jump on Air Force Once right now and fly to Australia, which would make shit hit the fan…so I told him to shut and then I did some ninja trick that I didn't know I could do and took his phone from him, which I'm starting to think is a bad idea…not the ninja trick thing but not telling the President that you're in hospital because you could be hurt or god knows what else…Oh god, I just went all ninja crazy on a Secret Service Agent. Don't ask me why I did that, I mean I know that there are other ways that Tom could contact the President but I figured it would harder to do so with his phone so I took it…I know it's stupid…" Jenny said with a serious look on her face.
Olivia looked at her and then giggled, before breaking out into laughter. Jenny frowned at her.
"Oh god…everything is just so fucked up…I'm sorry…First, my name is leaked to the press; then my father, the most fucked up, powerful bastard of his time, puts me on a plane and sends me here and now I'm pregnant, while the love of my life is miles away and he sends an agent to protect you from me and to keep an eye on me. Life is so fucked…I'm supposed to be a fixer…so tell me, and I know you've told me before, but how do I fix this?" she ranted.
Jenny sighed. "Well firstly, we get Tom in here…the poor bloke is standing outside wondering god knows what and then you're gonna call him. Because it is his baby and he needs to know…who gives a flying fuck that he's on the other side of the planet and he's the President. He is also a father, the father of that little foetus growing inside you. He needs to know, especially since you passed out and didn't wake up. So, we're calling him. I will retract the previous statement that I made to Tom because honestly right, all I care about is you."
Olivia nodded and Jenny stood up, opening the door and motioned for Tom to come into the room. Jenny sighed and reluctantly gave his phone back to him before mumbling an apology. He nodded and shrugged it off before turning to Olivia and he started to look anxious and Olivia tried to give him a reassuring smile.
"Ma'am, I…uh…" He tried to speak.
"It's okay Tom. I need you to call him." Olivia told him.
Tom frowned. "Ma'am, why I am all for that, allowing the President to know about this but I have to agree to what Jenny said earlier. If he knew about this, he would not hesitate to come straight away."
"We know that…which is why we are going to convince him like hell that is a bad idea." Jenny suggested.
Tom shook his head. "I know the President. He will not hesitate to drop everything and fly here. Weren't you just saying the very same thing not just moments ago when you ninja tricked me and stole me phone of me?"
"I am sorry about the ninja trick! I apologized!" Jenny groaned.
"Call him…" she whispered.
Tom and Jenny stopped their conversation and turned to Olivia.
"What?" Jenny asked.
"Call him…Call him now…" Olivia asked.
Tom nodded, looking at Jenny and pulled out his iPhone. He punched in a few numbers and pressed the phone to his ear. After a few seconds, he nodded and handed the phone to Olivia.
"Fitz?"
"Olivia? What are you doing with Tom's phone?"
"Well, I should be asking you why I am on Tom's phone when he should be a the White House protecting you."
"Olivia, I…"
"Look, I want you to know that while I am pissed, like majorly angry that you sent Tom here, I understand but I don't appreciate it. I am safe with Jenny and not because of her family, but of Jenny herself. I'm sure that you read her file and read all about her time in the Army, so you would know what she is capable of. I am fine…we're safe."
"I'm sure that you are but I would relax more if I knew that Tom was there. And besides, the story is that's he is supposed to be on holidays, so he is holidaying down in Australia."
"Fitz…"
"Livvie…it will be fine…and tell Jenny I'm sorry…I will not underestimate her again. But I would be more relaxed knowing that you are safe with not only Jenny but Tom as well."
Olivia smiled and took a deep breath, before sighing.
"I know that sigh…it's your 'I hate this' sigh. I know…but I need you to be safe. I know I'm an obsessive, crazy man but I am a man in love, with an incredible woman and I would breathe easier if I knew that she was safe."
"I know…and you are right…because it's not just me that needs protecting."
"What? What do you mean?"
"Fitz…"
"Olivia, what do you mean?"
"I'm in hospital…"
"What? What the hell happened? How…what the…Are you okay? You…Tom is supposed to protect you and ugh…What. Happen?!"
"It's fine…nothing bad happened. I just fainted, well more like passed out and didn't wake up but it happens in situations like these…I think…and I was also sick. Throwing up in the mornings and all that jazz."
"It just happens? You just fainted? And you've been throwing up? Why? What's wrong? Olivia, so help me god, just tell me what is going on or I will hop on Air Force One and be there by tomorrow."
"You will do no such thing. I am fine…women sometimes faint when they're like this. You know, faint, and throw up in the mornings, don't eat as much because every time they look at food they feel sick and they can barely keep it down." Olivia hesitated, knowing that if she told him, he would not hesitate to jump on a plane and be in Australia by tomorrow.
"Oh for fuck's sake, just tell him already…" Jenny groaned.
"You know Fitz, for someone who's had three kids already, you sure don't catch on quick."
"Kids…wait what? Kids…Olivia are you…"
"Yeah…I'm almost four months pregnant. Looks like our little dirty encounter in the closet at Ella's christening gave us more than we bargained for. I'm pregnant Fitz…we're pregnant…"
0*0*0*0*0
"I'm pregnant Fitz…We're pregnant"
Fitz's mind was going into overdrive, the news that the love of his life was pregnant with his child. Immediately, thoughts of a chocolate eyed little boy or girl with her smile and his charm filled his head and he smiled, happy and joyful at the news. They were having a baby. Their baby, that they made in the moments of passion and regretfully anger, but none of that mattered now. He could feel his eyes tear up as he thought about their child. His Livvie, his lover, his best friend, was pregnant with his child. He then frowned as he realized that Olivia was in hospital after fainting.
"Are you okay? Is the baby okay?" he asked, eager for some news. His heart had dropped when he found out that Olivia was in the hospital, again and he wanted to rush to her side.
"I'm fine…and we'll know soon. The doctor is coming and I'll be having an ultrasound soon. I don't know why I didn't about this sooner. I mean, I was in hospital not that long ago and I wonder why I didn't find out then. Maybe it was too early but Fitz, I'm almost four months. I'm showing…"
He smiled, imagining her and her belly, swollen with his child. "Maybe they couldn't…maybe they were too busy noticing that the President was in the room and didn't care much. If that's the case then I need to evaluate the health care system. They should be more focus on their patients and not famous people….Livvie, I want to be there…I need to be there."
"I know…but you can't…at least not now and besides, I'm coming home soon. Jenny and I have booked flights, leaving a week from today. So you didn't need to send Tom. Did you know that Jenny went ballistic and started speaking in Italian about you? I don't speak Italian but I can imagine that what she was saying about you wasn't pretty…You know, she did one of her ninja tricks on Tom and took his phone from him…she is not a woman to be messed with and even now she's nodding her head off. She's not happy with you but she's rooting for us…she's a romantic, like you…"
Fitz smiled even harder when he heard that she was coming home and laughed at the thought of Jenny attacking Tom. "Thank god and don't think I know what you are doing. Now that you're pregnant, I am even happier about the decision of sending Tom to Australia. He can make sure that both you and Jenny are safe and you both come home. Besides, I want to meet Jenny and apologize to Jenny face to face. I underestimated her and her abilities…she really attacked Tom? He's an agent…a very protective agent…"
"Jenny is special…she has many talents…Fitz, I have to go…the doctor is here. Now, please, don't go and do anything stupid. Stay put and I will keep you updated, I promise. Either Tom, or Jenny or myself will ring and we'll keep you updated. Just stay and keep being the leader of the free world and I will be home soon. We'll, that is myself, Jenny, Tom and baby will be home soon."
"I can't make any promises but I'll stay…just keep ring me and don't shut me out…please Livvie, stay with me and don't shut me out."
"I won't…I love you…"
Fitz looked up in surprise. Not that he could ever doubt Olivia's love for him but she rarely said it and to hear it was a gift.
"I love you too. Now go and look after our baby. And forget to call."
"I won't…"
He hanged up the phone and smiled, looking around his office. When Tom had called, he was sleeping on his lounge in the Oval Office. He had worked late and couldn't be bothered to walk to the residence and sleep in his bed. Besides, Mellie slept there and he wanted nothing to do with her. He didn't like Mellie, but he didn't hate her, despite all the things she had done. She was after all the mother of his children but she was a bitch. A power-hungry, back-stabbing bitch and while he didn't like her, he couldn't hate her. He once did love her but that love was long gone and was never coming back. It was time to make her realize that as he wanted nothing more to do with her. He wanted to; no he needed to divorce her.
He picked up the phone again and punched in some numbers. He prayed that they would still be that office and his heart leapt with joy when a tired but alert voice answered the phone.
"Olivia Pope and Associates, this is Harrison Wright speaking."
"Harrison, it's Fitz."
"Mr President! What are you doing calling at this time of the night?"
"Harrison, I need you to find me a divorce lawyer, preferably one that doesn't work around here and one that you trust. And I need this to be kept quiet."
"Divorce sir? Are you sure? It's a big risk but if it's what you want…"
"I've never been so sure in my life. Did you think you can do it?"
"Sir, consider it handled."
So…Olivia told Fitz…after avoiding it for a while then Jenny comes in and just tells her to get on with it…I love writing the Jenny and Tom conversations…so cute…
Oh and I also had this crazy dream the other night, well two crazy dreams…I was watching Sherlock season three (the one with my baby Benedict Cumberbatch) and I had this crazy dream where Sherlock hires Olivia to fix the problem of him being a murderer. Apparently London and the UK, well basically the whole world found out he killed Magnusson and he hires Olivia to fix the problem…should I write it? I could turn it into like a short story or something…when I've finished the two I've got now…but would you condone a Sherlock/Olivia pairing? We all know Fitz and Livvie belong together but that doesn't mean she can't have fun before then…or maybe just a Sherlock and Olivia story...imagine what these two could get up too...have you guys seen the episode where Mary and John get married and Sherlock is like talking with one of Mary's exes and he says 'High-Functioning Sociopath...with your number...' and that he gives that smile...cracks me every time...and the other dream was Olivia and the team in the Avengers universe...can imagine Liv and the gang with the likes of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk and Loki? Oh so many ideas...so little time...
Until next time peeps,
Love bNd…
