A/N: I'm on a roll with this updating and there is more to come...Its been so long that I even had to read the last chapter to figure where I stopped lol. Its picks up the next morning. Read, enjoy and review.

Laying soft kisses on the most incredible person to him on the face of the earth, he gently rolls out of bed trying not to wake her up.

Eyes still closed Liv asked, "hey where are you going?"

"Sorry I didn't mean to wake you."

"It's okay but I was all warm and toasty."

"My apologies ma'am, what can I do to fix it?"

"One minute."

Throwing his feet back into the bed and laying his head back on her chest. Both taking a deep breath at the same time their breathing becomes one, and relish in their bubble of love. Once time is up he rolls them over so she's on top and Liv assaults his face with kisses and starts to tickle him.

"Liv stop that," he tries to say in between laughs

"Nope."

"Liv stop that I am a man of the people I can't be tickled."

"That you are but you're my man and you're going to lay there and get tickled by me."

Before she can continue her attack he flips them over again but with him on top, "oh is that right?"

Nodding her head yes biting her lip.

"Do you feel how much your man wants you?" he asks pressing his erection against the inside of her thigh, "do you like what you feel from your man?"

Moaning out his name in his ear and grabbing his shoulders she moves her hips to put him closer to where she wants him

"Yes sweet baby," he says giving her the wicked grin that knocks the air out of her every time. Giving her a hungry look of pure lust, "what is it you want?"

With one word his heart is filled with so much love he doesn't even know how it's possible, "you," she answer

"You already have me. I'm yours, so take what is yours."

That was all the permission she needed and swiftly her hand is in his sweats to feel his rock hard blessing. Gently stroking him, he grows even bigger with her hand movements. Sliding back down to the tip she rubs her thumb against it and it grants her a deep groan from him

"This is all mines?"

"Yes and I'm going to show you what I can do with it."

"No Fitz, we can't."

"He was about to blow and he was not in the mood to talk anymore. He wanted to be connected her, be one with her. He needed to be wanted, to feel loved. He wanted her screaming his name so he knew he made her feel good.

"Really Liv come on. Look at me," gesturing down his hard erection.

"Fitz I'm sorry but I don't think we are ready. We still have a ways to go. I want to do it right this time around. I want everything on the table before we add sex."

"Fine." I wasn't upset with her but the situation. I knew I was being stupid and caught up in a sex haze but having her in my arms made me feel grounded. I was able to sort thru my thoughts. But we were starting new so I would try it her way.

"What do you want from me? WHAT DO YOU WANT?" I yell jumping from the bed, "I tried to give up the White House, push you away and divorce Mellie. I did all that for you but divorcing Mellie was for me, but you were so dead stubborn to keep me in my marriage for some damn optics. I did that for you because you said optics and you believed in me and I wanted to be something you were proud of. I have told you time and time again that I'll give this all up for you, just to have a life with you. I built us a damn dream house and I want to make it a reality. Do you ever think how I felt when I was building a house for the woman I love and having the fear and doubt that she will never choose me to live our dreams, our destiny, our future. Why don't I get to have dreams, why can't I save you? God even when I got shot you were fighting for me to stay in office, then I found out about defiance, I break up with you and I become an emotional mess of a person. I fucking had every right to be angry because the one person that was on my side, who saw me, that I thought believes in me did an horrible thing. After stewing in self pity I realized something about Verna, Hollis, and especially Mellie and Cyrus they saw you as my weakness or a card that could be played to control me, that what they used against you to get you to cave. They placed all the blame and the insecurities on you, plus whatever you felt for me added to the pressure and you caved. I couldn't function, I wanted you and hated you at the same time for getting me there and locking me that prison alone. I was angry. All that went away when I got word that you were in the hospital," taking a moment to calm down and take a breath recalling the feeling of when his world came crashing down, "once again I didn't save you, I didn't protect you. Do you even think how that makes me feel as a man? Why do you even want me, I'm a failure of as a man. It's that simple I'm a failure all around. We all know I'm a failure at being a husband, father, and a man."

"Fitz…" my heart was breaking for him. I never did think about him. I knew I was getting all the hts but he was getting them too. They say when the person you love hurts you hurt too.

"No Liv it's true. I'm broken, my father was right I will never be good because I'm weak," flopping back down on the bed.

"That's enough! You are not weak; your father was the weak one. He saw how great and extraordinary you are and became jealous that you would have it all."

"I don't have it all. I have…"

"Let me finish, Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III is a great father, I may not know personally about you being a husband but I do see that you tried all those years. As far as a failure as a man, that you are not, I know as the man of the house has to be a big responsibility and on top of that you have to run a country. You are only human."

I see her move closer to me. I felt raw but as she inched closer I could see us getting better. She finally reached me and straddled my thighs and took my face in her perfect hands that I knew were made for me to hold and kiss.

"This is why I need you, you understand me sometimes better than I understand myself. Seeing you, being in the same air as you takes away all the pain even it is just for a small moment. Going back to the residence knowing that my work is never done because I have to still deal with Mellie, she never was able to tell me the way you can and I am glad for that because that is proof to me that you see me. You make it possible for me to get up the next day and want to do better than the day I did before, make the world better for you and my kids, help those who can't help themselves, I just want to be better because you give me that hope and faith that I can do it. I have the confidence I can do that but when you are around I feel powerful that I will reach every goal and I will make you proud. I know that when I can't anymore and I need a moment you can take over and know when I'm ready that you will hand it back over without hesitation or a secret agenda. We are an actual team, I fall you pick me up and if you fall I pick you up. Neither of us in front of the other, we stand side by side."

Smiling, "I hear you. I see you. We are healing. Come on let me feed you Mr. President."

"I could eat."

"Shameless, just shameless. Let's go get real food Fitz."

Climbing off me she reaches her hand out which I happily take and entwine our fingers and we walk out the room into a new world.

A/N: And yes i noticed i switched between how they were talking. Ill fix it...maybe lol.
