Olivia is laying in her bed staring at the ceiling as the past few days come back to her. She took Fitz back, her brother had to go back home for a few days, and her baby girl is getting more active. What makes that so amazing is Fitz is able to come over and feel her kick and talk to her belly. Olivia runs her hand over her stomach with a smile. Fitz has been great. She didn't realize how much she missed him until he was back in her life. Her thoughts are cut short by a loud knock on her door that causes her to jump. She gets up and pulls her robe over Fitz's navy shirt and her pajama bottoms. The loud knock comes again and Olivia gets frustrated.
"What?" She swings the door open the reveal a frustrated Fitz and a crying Teddy.
"Fitz wha-" Fitz walks in her apartment and she nods at Tom before closing the door.
"Mellie took off last night and I'm booked all day with meetings I can't get out of. He won't stop crying and the nanny isn't there today." Fitz says already sounding exhausted.
"Fitz calm down, he can sense your stress." Olivia takes Teddy and starts to rock him softly. "Put his bag in my room, I will take him for the day, I'm going to make you some coffee." She says softly as Teddy starts to calm and rests his head on her shoulder. Fitz nods and walks to her room as she walks to the kitchen and expertly makes coffee as she rocks Teddy. As she waits for the coffee to brew, Teddy sits up with his pacifier in his mouth and looks around. He looks at her before laying his head back down on her shoulder. She rubs his back before pulling down a coffee mug and pouring Fitz some coffee. She walks out the kitchen and back into the living room where Fitz is sitting with his hands shoved into his hair.
"Are your hands permanently stuck there." She laughs and Fitz looks up and force a smile.
"Thanks Liv." He takes the coffee mug and Olivia lays Teddy down in a pack and play that Tom obviously brought in and set up while she was in the kitchen. She puts the blanket over him before siting down next to Fitz.
"What's going on?" She asks him softly as she rubs his back.
"Mellie took off last night, no note, nothing. Just her clothes and a few pairs of shoes are gone." Fitz says as she takes a sip of coffee. "I don't know what I'm going to do Liv, a toddler by myself, I can't do that. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Mellie is out of my life but I can't raise a 1 year old and a country." Fitz says as he sets the mug down.
"Fitz you're not alone in this. I can take Teddy during the day. I can work from home, and if I absolutely need too I can bring him to the office with me." Olivia tells him and Fitz shakes his head.
"I can't ask you todo that Liv, you have the baby to worry about."
"Fitz listen to me, we are in this together. This is your baby too. We have to work together." Olivia says and Fitz looks at her.
"Fine but I'm leaving two agents with you." Olivia starts to protest but Fitz shakes his head. "It will give me some peace of mind." Fitz says and Olivia nods.
"Ok, go, I've got it from here." Fitz looks at her before nodding and standing up.
"Thank you." He tells her before peaking over at Teddy and then leaning down to kiss her. She kisses him back and he leaves. Olivia sighs and sits back against her couch as she listens to the heavy breathing if Teddy. She is not sure why it brings her such peace but it does. After about ten minutes she starts to work on her computer, going over files and reading up on her new client. Reading, writing, and the occasional response to a text message from one of her team members, Olivia looses track of time and is brought back by the shuffling if Teddy. She looks up from her computer and smiles at the little boy as he rubs his eyes.
"Well hello there handsome." She smiles and removes her computer from her lap and stands up. Teddy lifts his arms in the air and Olivia smiles walks over to him, and picks him up.
"How was your sleep?" She asks him as he lays his head on her shoulder. She walks in her room and grabs two bottles, a sippie cup, his formula and a few Gerber baby snacks before returning to the living room and sitting on the couch. She pats his back softly as she turns on the TV to the news and lets Teddy wake up fully from his nap. After a few minutes he sits up and takes his pacifier out his mouth.
"Hi baby." Olivia smiles and Teddy reaches for his empty sippie cup.
"Are you thirsty?" She asks and he hands Olivia his sippie cup and she smiles. "Come on baby boy." She stands up with him still in her arms and makes her way to the kitchen. She silently thanks her brother for his obsession with apple juice as she pulls it out of the refrigerator and pours some into Teddy's cup. She makes sure to screw the lid on tight before handing it to him. Teddy immediately starts to drink and a knock on the door stops Olivia from watching and has her moving to the door with Teddy still in her arms. She opens and smiles at Tom.
"Hey Tom." She smiles and Tom nods.
"Ma'am." Tom steps aside and Edison is standing there with an irritated look on his face.
"The garbage is found downstairs Tom." Olivia scowls and Edison shakes his head before walking in the house. Olivia breaths out before looking at Tom.
"Mind being a mediator?" She asks him and he shakes his head before walking in the house and closing the door behind him. Olivia sets Teddy in his play pen with a banana cookie before turning to Edison.
"To what do I owe this massive displeasure." Olivia says as Edison paces behind her couch.
"You are seeing the president." Edison seethes. "I was right wasn't I? From the beginning Liv." Olivia watches as he stops pacing and looks at her. "Well don't just stand there, say something." He tells her.
"Three things Edison, 3: do not come into my house accusing me of something you know nothing about. 2: how about you just don't come to my house and 1: if you are done being a sexist maniacal pig I would like you to leave and never step within 20 feet of me again." Edison, momentarily shocked, stands there silently. Olivia looks at Tom before walking to her couch and hands Teddy his snack. Tom places his hand on Edison's shoulder and escorts him out the apartment.
"Are you ok ma'am?" Tom asks when he peeks his head back inside. Olivia turns and smiles at him.
"Yes." She smiles and Tom nods before closing the door. Olivia silently watches the TV as Teddy snacks.
"You are one handsome boy." Olivia says when she looks at him. "You have a really great daddy. He loves you so much." Olivia look at Teddy as he pulls back and looks at her. He touches her belly before laying back against her.
"What's going on with you?" She feels his head and gets concerned. "You feel warm baby." She picks him up and walks to her bedroom and get the baby thermometer from her bathroom. She tries to put it in his ear but he resists and starts to cry. Olivia lays him on the bed hold his hands and eventually gets the thermometer in his ear and takes his temperature. It's feels like ages, as Teddy screams from the incredible discomfort, until the thermometer beeps. As soon as it sounds Olivia scoops him up and rocks him.
"I'm so sorry baby boy." She whispers as she looks at the reading. "102." She whispers as she rocks him. She rocks him until a hears a soft snore coming from him and she kisses his head before laying him in her bed. She watches him with a smiles before walking back into the living room and starts to work again.
After about an hour her phone goes off and she smiles without looking and answers.
"Hi." She says as she sets some papers down.
"Hi." His deep voice rings through the phone and Olivia smiles and squeezes her legs together.
"You know, being pregnant causes me to get very horny." She says causing him to laugh loudly through the phone.
"Do my ears deceive me, or did Olivia Pope just say horny?" Fitz says laughing still.
"No. I didn't." She says with a smile and he laughter dies down and he clears his throat.
"How is Teddy?" Fitz asks as he puts his feet up and he leans back in his chair.
"Sick." Olivia says and Fitz's smile fades and he scrunches his face.
"Sick? Wha- why didn't you call me?" He stands up and shuffles some papers around trying to find the name of Teddy's doctor.
"Fitz it's not a big deal, so stop. He is resting and when he wakes up I will give him some Tylenol." Olivia says using her rational voice which calms Fitz down.
"What about you and the baby?" He asks as he sits back down.
"We are ok. She is stronger than ever." Olivia says placing her hand on her stomach. To be honest through all of the drama with Fitz, she hasn't had much time to enjoy being pregnant. She rubs her stomach as Fitz changes the subject to some foreign policy he is working on. She listens but at the same time she is thinking about the future.
"I've finally realized that we cannot make this one work because we are basing it off of-"
"Do you want more kids." Olivia cuts him off. "With me?" She adds and Fitz clears his throat.
"It depends on what you want Liv." Fitz says trying to wrap his head around the fact that he just asked her that.
"I want to have the whole nine yards Fitz. The wedding, the house, the babies." Olivia says as she feels the baby kick.
"I love that idea."
"Good." She smiles. "Now finish running the country and come home. I missed you." Olivia says in her best pouty voice. She hears Fitz laugh before she hangs up and walks to her room. She stands in the doorway and watches as Teddy sleeps. She smiles and walks over to the bed and carefully gets in.
Oh ya, this is defiantly what she wants.
