If I begged and if I cried
Would it change the sky tonight?
Would it give me some light?
Should I wait for you to call?
Is there any hope at all?
Are you drifting by...
When I think about it
I know that I was never there or even cared
The more I think about it
The less that I was able to share with you
I try to reach for you, I can almost feel you
You're nearly here

''Fitz…Fitz! Come on you have to eat.'' Mellie Said as she walked into the Oval.
''I'm not hungry. I just need to see Soph. Where is she?'' he asked, not looking at the tray of food Mellie has set on his desk. Fitz can't even remember the last time he had a square meal. It might have been at the party before Olivia's accident, he can't remember.
''Fitz… Goddamnit eat! Olivia would not want you slowly killing yourself to! Sophia needs you to be strong and healthy. So just eat! Please.'' She said with tears in her eyes
As weird as her and Olivia's relationship has been she has always had a soft spot for her. She liked Olvia but circumstances made it kind of hard.
''Okay Mellie.'' He sounded so defeated, but he was eating.
''Cass will be here in about 20 minutes, she told me Huck and Quinn will sit with Olivia for the first shift. Abby went to the airport to get Stephen and they will sit the second. Cass and Harrison will take the third shift so you and the kids can stay with her until whenever.''
''Are you coming to?''
His question caught her off guard; she hasn't been to see Olivia yet.
''Umm if you want me to, then I will.''
''That's fine. I will come get you when we are ready.''
With that she left the Oval to allow him time to eat and prepare to be with Sophia.
XxX
Where am I? What is this place? Where is Fitz and Sophia? ''Hello? Can anybody hear me?'' ''HI OC.'' Olivia turned around to the sound of her Mother's voice. ''Mommy? Daddy? Is that you?'' Olivia couldn't believe it she hasn't seen her parents since a few days before their death. ''Yes pumpkin, it is us.'' Her father said in his deep baritone voice She ran and hugged them, her mother still smelled like citrus and a scent she could never put her finger on. While her father still smelled like his cologne that has always worn. ''How are you pumpkin? You flew out of that car pretty hard.'' Her mother said as she touched her daughter's head ''I'm okay mommy, where am I?'' Olivia asked. Finally realizing this can't be real. She knew her parents were dead so that could only mean… ''Am I dead? Oh God.. No I can't be…'' ''No OC you are not dead. You are in the transition period. This is where everyone comes before they cross over, but you are here because you need to ask me something. I would have visited you in your dreams but your sleep pattern is so screwed up I can never visit you. OC, ask me what you need to ask me.
Olivia recognized Quinn's voice
''I can hear them.'' Olivia smiled as she felt Huck lean over and kiss her cheek. Oh how she missed Huck. ''Will I get to wake up mommy?'' Olivia asked with tears in her eyes. She didn't want to leave just yet. She needed to raise her daughter. ''What do you have to ask us OC?'' Her father said as they sat at a table Olivia didn't even notice when the scenery changed.
''I have a lot of questions.'' ''You know the big question. We have heard you ask us time and time again.'' Her mother said as she sat patiently sipping her tea. ''Where is this stuff coming from?'' ''Don't change the subject Olivia. Ask so we can send you on back.'' ''OK. I want to know are you and daddy disappointed in me? Because I am having an affair with Fitz. Do you guys like him? Are you mad at me? Do you hate him? Do you hate me? Do you guys accept my daughter?''
Her father chuckled. ''Slow down OC. We aren't mad at you. Disappointed on how you handled your feelings for Fitzgerald… Somewhat. We know you love him and he loves you just as much… if not more. We love little Sophia. She looks just like you at that age. She has your smile and your very stubborn ways. We want you to be happy OC, He makes you happy but you also need to look at the situation differently because of Soph. These games he plays needs to stop. If he can't be with you full time he does not need to be with you part time.'' Her father looked at Sophia Olivia's mother to say what she needed to say. ''OC I am honored you named your baby girl after me. I love her just as much as I love you. She is a little cutie and we bond on a daily basis. Her hair is so soft Livvy. I know you love that man but like your father said if he can't be in your life full time no need to hire him part time. Let him be a father to Sophia but if he can't commit to you then there is no need to drag Sophia through something that could have been avoided..'' ''How do you know how soft her hair is mommy?'' Olivia asked ''I do come and visit her you know? She sleeps regularly and when you put her down and she wakes up sometimes I am there and I touch her. She knows I am there because all she does is smile. I am always with you and her. Who do you think stopped you from hitting that sidewalk so hard when you flew out the car? Yep that was me.'' Olivia was so overwhelmed. She needed to hear this from her parents. She missed them dearly.
Olivia felt Fitz get into bed with her, and when she turned to look at her parents behind them clouds began to open and she saw Fitz in bed with her.
''Livvy, baby please wake up. I was going to wait until you were better to tell you, but I am not sure if you will so I am divorcing Mellie. She has already signed the papers and we are preparing to announce it soon. Also I am resigning. I don't want to be president anymore if you aren't my first lady. I just want to be with you. So I need you to wake up so I can tell you again and we can talk. So damnit Olivia wake up.'' He said as tears feel from his face. Olivia felt the wetness on her cheek and whipped it with her sleeve.
''It is time baby girl, go back to that man before he has a heartache. We love you OC and we will see you when we see you. I will visit soon enough and if you start sleeping right I may pop up in a dream or two with your daddy over here. We have to go back but I have to tell you something. I need to you to listen to me Olivia, this is not a game. One, I need you tu=o buy a gun when you get better. I can't tell you why but please buy a gun baby. Two when he asks you to marry him, say no the first time. Make him sweat, don't ask me why either just do it. We have to go baby, come here.'' Her mother and father held out their arms to embrace their daughter and let the tears fall for a few minutes. When a light appeared behind her parents she knew it was time to go. She felt warmth on her back and turned around to see Fitz' face like he was lying next to her. ''Go on OC, he needs you.'' He father said from behind her. 'I love you mommy, daddy.'' ''We love you to OC.'' With that Olivia ran towards Fitz and the closer she got the more she felt the warmth of the light. She ran for what seemed like forever until she felt him lying next to her.
''Livvy, please tell me I am not dreaming.''
''You are not dreaming.'' She said a little croak in her voice since she hasn't spoken in a week.
''You're awake…Olivia you're awake!''
''Yes I am. Yes I am. I love you Fitz.''
''I love you too Livvy.''
he kissed her for what seemed like eternity until he had to get the doctors to inform them about Olivia being awake. They went into the room to check on her and do some tests.
Fitz looked up at the ceiling smiled and silently thanked God for bringing his soul mate back.
