Work tomorrow, thought I'd squeeze one more in. Enjoy folks.

Olivia quit fighting her sleeplessness and went into work early Monday morning to get started on what she need to do. She was still not sure about her house, she felt that in part it was that in the back of her head, if things didn't work out with Fitz she wouldn't have a home to come back to. She chastised herself for thinking that and not having the type of faith that Fitz had about them. Either way she needed to figure something out about her home.

Secondly she needed to decided what she was going to ship to Sweden with her. Fitz's place was fine in terms of furnishing, but it was totally a man's home. She wanted to ship things as well as her car that would make her feel at home. When she got to work she called Fitz so she could start her day off right and it was the end of Fitz's. She Face timed him and as her phone came to life when his beautiful face appeared.

"Hello fireball. What are you doing up so early."

"You know the usual. Couldn't sleep because someone was not there." She giggled.

"Well you'll be happy to know that I've been able to get some sleep due to a special teddy bear someone left me. You should of taken one of my t shirts."

"What makes you so sure I didn't?"

"I'm appalled at you Ms. Pope for obsconding with one of my shirts."

"Hey! I got you a bear. All I have is your stinking shirt." They laughed.

"How was your day?"

"Long. We still have a lot to go over the rest of the week, but it's coming along. Oh, before I forget. I have a ship that will be in the port of Seattle next week. If you want to put your car and anything else on the ship. I have a shipping container reserved for you. And speaking of other stuff. I don't think my place is big enough for yours and my stuff. So how do you feel about going house shopping when you get back?"

"Great minds thing alike because I was concerned that I would have to get rid of some stuff or leave it here because of your apartment. Looking for a place to live that both of us choose sounds like a good plan. I want to be up front that I want to contribute at least half to the purchase."

"Not a problem fireball. I'll get in touch with my realtor to start sending us what's available. Do we want four or 5 bedrooms?"

"Fitz, just how many kids do you think we are having?"

He grins, "As many as you'll let me have."

"Good answer."

They both laughed. Olivia heard the front door open and close and knew that Cyrus was finally in for the day.

"Hey look babe it looks like the troops are going to start coming in, I'll talk to you tomorrow morning ok. Dream of me baby."

"I will fireball. I love you."

"Love you too."

"Liv! What are you doing here so early? I thought you would at least sleep in after your long flight."

"No Cy, needed to start operation Sweden. I have a long list of personal task, but I need you to fill me in on what we need to do to make this transition seamless."

"I'm way ahead of you Liv. It really comes down to how you want to run the team from now on. Since most of our calls come in to our Seattle office I think we should not make any changes. We run jobs out of this office. I think we take on a PR firm to let our European partner know that we have an office in Europe. It will alleviate a lot of late nights when we are negotiating contracts."

"I like your line of thinking. I didn't take in the possibilities of us really growing the business globally with my move."

"Yeah, I think you should consider getting a whole new team. We can address that as the business picks up. Now, how do you want to tell the team? Just straight forward like we always do it. I was thinking of bringing some of them with me, but something you said made me pause. You were right. I feel like I've been nothing more than a den mother. Is it selfish of me if I just want this for myself. A new start."

"Liv I meant it when I said that you deserve this. You've gave us all a second chance. If you want to be selfish, you've earned the right. The only person I'm worried about is Huck."

"I am too. I might have to take him with me."

"Liv, don't take this the wrong way. But when are you going to let him stand on his own two feet? He's not helpless or a child. He needs to know that he can do it all by himself without you there to catch him. Maybe if he gets his knees a little scraped then he'll learn how to do things for himself."

She sits there to ponder everything Cyrus has said.

"Look Liv if it will make you feel better, I'll keep an eye on him, but you both need to live your lives apart. He is the most brilliant mind I know, but we handicap him by babying him."

"I'll take your observations under advisement. Let's start working on our expansion into Europe."

"Let's"

Two weeks later...

Olivia got her personal belonging and her car put on her ship. She decided to rent out her place as an executive rental. That way she could have house keeping come in each week and the rental company could make sure her home was not being abused by long term renters.

Her business not so lucky. Once she announced that she was going to move to Sweden. All hell broke loose with her current customers and some of her staff. Abby walked out telling her she was being selfish for abandoning them for a man.

She literally had to have individual meeting with all her customer to assure them that nothing would change as far as service was concerns. They could still deliver the same quality of service. Her big hurdle was trying to convince Abby to come back. Her tendency to cause damage was high unless she had other matters to focus on.

On top of that, she had caught the flu from Harrison. He had been in Texas the week before and he told her that the guys he had been working with were coughing up a lung around him. He was like Typhoid Mary and infected the entire office. Olivia was the last one to get it and it was taking it's toll on her. She wasn't sleeping well as it was and coupled with this illness she was down for the count.

Late one night Fitz called her and when she answered, Fitz was shocked at how sick she looked.

"Oh fireball you don't look very good. Is there anyone there to take care of you?"

"Yeah, Huck comes by once a day to make sure I haven't croaked. I'll be alright in a few days like everyone else. Tell me how your day was."

"It was boring as usual with out you here. Do you know how much longer your going to be there?"

"No idea, I have about ten more meetings to attend, but this illness is not helping. Just tell me how your day went. I need a little boring in my life right now."

Fitz went on about his day and told her about the new homes his realtor sent him. Before he knew it she was asleep.

"Goodnight fireball. I'll see you tomorrow."

Fitz knew he needed to get to her. She looked really bad and someone checking on her once a day was not enough. He was actually calling her from his plane that was about to take off. She was so tired that she didn't notice his surroundings which is good. He wanted to surprise her.

Fitz arrived around 5 in the morning. Lucas drove him to Olivia home in West Seattle. It was the neighborhood across the sound that faced the skyline of downtown Seattle. It was a neighborhood filled with Craftsman homes. As the sun was about to peak out, Lucas pulled into the drive of Olivia's white and green three bedroom craftsman home. It was so her. Fitz decided to call her instead of knocking on her door and scaring the crap out of her.

"Hello..." She croaked out.

"Hey fireball. Can you do me a favor?"

"Fitz it's 5 in the morning."

"I know what time it is fireball, but can you do me a favor?"

She huffed out. Put his hand over his mouth and giggled.

"Whaaaaat Fitz?"

"Come open the door for me."

Olivia sat up really quick. She was still on the couch from last night. She didn't have the strength to get in her bed. She looked through the curtains to see two figures on her porch. She slowly stood up because she was a little dizzy. She slowly made her way to the door and flung in open. She fell into Fitz's arms cause that was all she could do. Fitz picked her up and walked her back into her home. He sat down with her in his lap.

"Fireball your burning up. I think I need to take you to the hospital."

"I'm alright Fitz. I'll get better now that your here." She sobbed a little.

"Liv, I'm taking you to the hospital. Where are you keys to the house?"

"There in my keys dish by the door."

"Lucas find the nearest hospital."

"Will do Tomas."

Fitz was frantic by her condition. She was lighter than the last time he saw her and she was burning up. He wrapped her in a quilt and walked her out the house to the car. Lucas came back and locked the door and they were off.

Fitz carried Olivia inside and got a doctor to see her right away. She was getting a little delirious.

"Sir are you related to Ms. Pope?"

"Yes, I'm her husband." Fitz was not going to make him sit outside while she was in the back. He had been away from her long enough and he was frightened at how sick she was.

"The doctor will be back to examine her. We've taken some blood and swabbed her throat to find out what virus she might have."

"Thank you for looking after her."

The nurse blushed at Fitz. He was so handsome.

"It's what we do Mr. Pope."

Fitz smirked at her calling him Mr. Pope. He would have a lot tell Olivia when she was feeling better. An hour later a doctor came in and asked Fitz to come outside Olivia's room.

"Mr. Pope it looks like your wife has the flu, a rather strong strain I've ever seen. It's been complicated by the pregnancy."

The doctor kept talking but Fitz didn't hear anything else. All he could think of was it was real. It happened again, confirmation that this woman was an answer to his prayers. The doctor noticed the goofiest grin on his face and stopped talking. He recognized the look.

"Mr. Pope you two didn't know?"

Fitz finally snapped back into the conversation.

"No doctor. We had no idea. We just thought that she was sick from the flu. Her co-worker brought it into the office and everyone was sick."

"Your wife would of recovered or had less of a reaction to this flu, but the baby was taking over her immune system. She's a little bit dehydrated that's why her temp went so high. We've given her an iv to get her hydrated. I'm going to give her a low level antibiotic so it's won't affect the baby. Your wife will feel terrible for a few days, but she should slowly recover. She needs round the clock care for the next three days."

"Don't worry Doctor, she won't be able to move out of my eye sight from now until she has the baby."

The doctor smiled.

"Your wife is resting right now. Would you like me to tell her about the pregnancy or would you? I'll be back with a prescription for prenatal vitamins and I would like to keep her for a couple more hours to make sure she get hydrated, and I want to give her the first dose of antibiotics and she how she reacts to them. If everything works out you can take her home by 2 pm today."

"Thank you doctor. I'll tell her."

"I'll come back and brief you on her care and bring you guys neonatal information. I assume this is your first child?"

Fitz had a million watt smile on his face.

"Yes this will be our first."

"OK, let me go update her chart and bring you her prescriptions. I should be back in about an hour in a half."

"Will see you then."

Lucas could see Fitz from the waiting room. He watched him lean against the wall and put his hand on his knees. He thought he was crying when he walked up to him and put his hands on his back.

"Tomas is Olivia alright?!" He said alarmed.

Fitz brought his face up and he saw his friend, his brother with tears and laughter coming out of him. Lucas was confused. Fitz fell forward and hugged his long time friend.

"Tomas what is it?"

It took Fitz a moment to calm down. He looked Lucas in the eyes.

"Olivia is pregnant. That's why she's so sick."

Lucas hoots and hollers as he hugs his friend.

"I'm so happy for you Tomas."

"Thank you my friend. I'm not letting her out of my sight from now on. We will get her well and take her home. I don't care what needs to be done here. She needs to be taken care of."

"Tomas I know your concerned, but you should allow her to make that call. How would you feel if she demanded that you stop what you were doing at your job. She has a lucrative business that she needs to close up shop on a good note."

His friend was right. He didn't like it, but he would respect her wishes. He didn't want to come off as some neanderthal. Fitz patted his friends shoulder and let him know he heard him. He went back into the room. Olivia looked way better than when he brought her in. He put his hand on her head and she was cooler than when he brought her in. He reached down and pulled her sheet down and lifted her gown, put his hand on her stomach and leaned down and kissed her belly. Olivia woke up because what Fitz was doing was tickling her.

"What are you doing Sir?"

"That's Mr. Pope to you."

She giggle in a groggy voice.

"And just how did you become Mr. Pope."

"Well I had to tell them something, because they were going to leave me up front."

"Ahhh, therefore Mr. Pope."

"You are correct Mame."

"So what's wrong with me?"

"You were right. You have the flu. The doctor said that he's never seen this strain before. He also said you had another hitchhiker."

"Great what is it a worm or parasite?"

"It's a kind of a parasite. But the nice kind."

"OK Fitz not up for guessing games. What is wrong with me?"

"The reason your a lot more sick than your colleagues is that your pregnant."

Olivia froze as she looked into Fitz face to make sure she heard him right.

"As in we are going to have a baby pregnant?"

"That's the only kind fireball."

Olivia stared up toward the ceiling. She was processing. She said that whatever happens, happens, but now it was real.

"Fireball what are you thinking?"

She turned head and looked at Fitz and knew everything was going to be OK. She thought she should be freaking out, but his face gave her the assurance she needed.

"If our baby will have your great head of hair?"

They both started laughing and crying at the same time. This was nuts, but it felt like it was suppose to happen like this. Fitz climbed in the bed with Liv and rubbed her stomach. Olivia cuddled up to Fitz.

"I'm going to take advantage of you being here and get some sleep."

"Go to sleep fireball I'll be here when you wake up."

"I love you Fitz." She said as she yawned.

"I love you too fireball. Thank you for this baby."

"No need for thanks babe, we both made her."

"So it's a her then."

She sleepily said, "Yeah. She is going to ruin you."

Fitz smiled at her sleepy declaration. He kissed the side of her head and rubbed her belly as she went to sleep.

Fitz whispered, "she will be spoiled rotten. My girls."
