Chapter 7: FITZ is her MCDREAMY!

The helicopter was being it's descent down on top of the hospital. Like Cy promised he held onto Olivia's hand the entire trip. She talked very little and just looked at her mentor with tears in her eyes. "It's going to be okay Liv. You are going to be fine and beat this stupid tumor. You're a gladiator. My gladiator. Hell your everyone's gladiator. I am very proud of you and he is so lucky that you love him the way you do."

"Cy" Liv uttered.

"No, I know with all this noise it's hard hear me but it needs to be said before we land. I saw the look at his face when you finally told him you loved him. It was like a dream. A totally unreachable dream that had come true. He could really have you and be President. That is till you collapsed in his arms. He FINALLY had you back and you almost died on him. ON ME!"

"Cy. I…" Her tears were coming down her cheeks now.

"He can be a great leader. But without you he just goes through the motions. You not only fight for your life Liv, but fight for your life with him. Mellie may be the first lady, but you're the first lady of his heart. YOU have his heart. I will not stand in the way of that. ANYTHING I can do to help you both I will do it. Starting with HER!"

"Cyrus Beene…Thank you."

"Oh all of you will sign a non-disclosure agreement of everything you saw and heard at the White House and now. Are we understood?" Everyone agreed and the chopper touched down on top of the hospital. Cyrus also informed Liv that Fitz and Stephen were about 5 minutes behind them. I guess Dr. Grey and Dr. Shepard should be ready for their first meeting with the President of the United States.

Derek and Meredith had been waiting for Olivia to check in at that hospital for over an hour now. She was late. But they had no idea why until they heard a page for them. When they reached the surgical floor they discovered it was Olivia landing on the roof. They got all her stat's from the paramedics on the helicopter.

"Olivia, it's Dr. Shepard and Dr. Grey what happened?" As they wheeled her into the building from the roof.

"She was talking to someone and she collapsed. She became very weak, had a hard time concentrating, and fell down unconscious. She was out 15 minutes when we got to her. When we arrived she started to have a seizure. We gave her medication after giving her an IV, and the seizure stopped." Said one of the paramedics.

Meredith and Derek stopped the stretcher in her room. They had already began to take her vitals, check her IV, get her on fluids, temperature, and make sure she was stable.

"Where was she at when this happened?"

Cyrus spoke up. "The White House. I am Cyrus Beene the President's Chief of Staff. Miss Pope is a good friend of mine."

"The White House. Why was she there of all places?" Meredith said.

"Because she came to see me?" Fitz said. The agents cleared the floor and room before Olivia arrived. Meredith and Derek didn't see him standing there when they wheeled Olivia inside.

"OH MY GOD! DEREK is that who I think it is? HOLY SHIT!" Meredith said dropping everything she had in her hands.

"Ah, yes. Mer it is? It's nice to, a meet you Mr. President." There was a huge uncomfortable silence after this. Derek reached over and shook Fitz's hand.

"Meredith say something?" For the first time in a long time she was speechless. Here was the President standing a few feet away from her. She stood there dumbfounded. Olivia reached out and grabbed her hand.

"It's okay Dr. Grey," Olivia said "the President is a good friend of mine that is why he's here. He doesn't bite." Fitz smiled.

Fitz put out his hand to Meredith. She took it shaking and said "Nice to meet you Sir. But may I ask why are you here with Miss Pope?"

Cyrus watched Fitz walk over to Olivia. Olivia was stable but her heart rate was starting to increase. Both Derek and Meredith noticed this. "Olivia, who caught you when you fell?" Derek asked.

"He did." Olivia said.

"Which one. Mr. Beene or the President."

Fitz had this huge smile on his face. Meredith looked at him. "You caught her! Mr. President she fell into your arms. How? Why? What did she say?"

Olivia was watching this all unfold on her bed. She was still fairly weak but knew what was going on around her. Meredith and Derek were REALLY watching how Fitz was acting towards her all of sudden. At that moment Fitz grabbed her hand and kissed it ever so sweetly. He then placed a kiss on her forehead and finally her lips.

"HOLY CRAP! HE'S YOUR MCDREAMY!" Squealed Meredith.

"Dr. Grey!" Said Derek in utter embarrasement.

"I'm her what?" said Fitz with a total look of confusion. Cyrus looked at Meredith like she was crazy and Olivia blushed.

"He's my what?" Olivia finally said.

"What the heck is a McDreamy?" Cyrus and Fitz asked in unison.

"Miss Pope don't you remember you told me about his guy who had an important job and had a hard time getting away. You said his job kept you two apart. If I remember right you also told me he was THE ONE. President Grant is that guy, the ONE. He's your MCDreamy. The perfect guy and I can see why?" Meredith couldn't believe that she actually said that out loud in front of Fitz no less.

Fitz gave her this cute smile back, blushed some and kissed Olivia again.

"Okay now that we cleared that up? I need you to tell me everything about her surgery. I know you two are the great but you are not touching her unless I am sure it's for the best." Fitz told them.

"Fitz. I did my homework Dr. Grey and Shepard ARE the best." Olivia said.

"That may be the case, but I am not taking any chances." Fitz said.

Dr. Grey, and Dr. Shepard explained to Cyrus and Fitz how they were going to inject a live virus into the tumor into her brain. Two long fiber optic tubes would be inserted into the tumor with the viral cocktail already inside. Then perfectly in sink the virus would be injected into her brain. Once the virus is inside the tumor it should start to shrink leaving all normal brain tissue unharmed.

"Side effects." Cyrus asked.

"She could have some memory loss. Her speech may be affected. Miss Pope could have a hard time walking. They are other variables aswell."

"Like?" Fitz dared to ask.

"Well her brain could swell on the table and she could die. She may not wake up after the surgery as well." Derek said.

Fitz then sat next to his Liv on the bed. He just had to be closer to her at that point. "Mr. President, that is the worse case scenario. This viral cocktail works and I have every confidence that Miss Pope will wake up.

"But will she still be my Olivia?" Said Fitz. Derek and Meredith watched how Fitz looked at her. Olivia was the love of his life and he was hers. Wow. Both were a little surprised at this but reassured everyone that it was the worse case scenario if Olivia didn't wake up.

"I am confident that this surgery will work and can save her. Our clinical trial proved that. Look since Miss Pope seems to have stabilized, and we have her on anti-seizure medication we'll give you some time alone. Plus I see that the press is outside swarming the hospital grounds. No doubt they know you are here Sir. Some of Miss Pope's staff are outside waiting for my wife and I come out and talk to them as well. I will let them know they can come in to visit her in a few hours. She needs her rest and time with you, Mr. President. We will be back in a few hours for her lab work and MRI." Said Derek.

"Dr. Shepard, Dr. Grey. Thank you." Said Fitz, shaking both their hands.

"It's our pleasure and it's an honor to meet you Sir." Both Meredith and Derek said.

"Miss Pope you are one lucky lady. We'll see you in a few hours. Page if you need anything but something tells me you have everything you need right here." Said Meredith.

"Thank you." Olivia said very sleepy. By now Fitz had his arm underneath her, and her head was resting on him.

Cyrus, Dr. Grey and Shepard left the room. Fitz of course refused to leave her side and Cyrus knew better than to ask him too. He knew that if any of the press got a picture of him kissing her at the white house it would be a press bonanza. He could see the headline "President Grant kisses dying mistress!" (Thanks chocolate 1…I Love it!) He would think of something to say later on at why Fitz was here.

"I. LOVE. YOU. Try to sleep and I will be right here holding you in my arms when you wake up." Fitz told her as her squeezed her even tighter to him.

"I love you too. I am sorry for everything."

"Look at me. It's okay. Just don't scare me like this ever again. Right now I am not the man of the people. I am yours heart, mind, body and soul. If you'll have me Livie." Fitz said lifting her chin up to look in her eyes.

"How can I say no to that? You are my McDreamy you know. But I think McPrezzie is better." She was now giggling.

"Ha Ha very funny. Mc-Whatever is it. Right now I am the man that loves you. The commander and chief too I may add and I say go to sleep."

"Okay." Liv smiled and drifted off to sleep at perfect peace in his arms.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I did my best. I tried to not place any medical terms because frankly I am not sure how I would word it. I felt it was important to for Olivia to be stable when Fitz meet Meredith and Derek. I hope I was right. Next chapter will be about her actual surgery and what happens during it.

Peace, Luv and Pumpkins. ;-)

Leave me comments cuz I may update sooner. ;-)
