A/N: Hey guys! I'm back! I was on a mission trip for spring break and was very busy and tired, so I had no energy to update. Now I'm back at school and found some time to update.

Olivia was lost for words. Here was Fitz proclaiming his love to her. She knew she was in love with this man a long time ago, but didn't accept it because of Edison. Olivia's shocked expression scared Fitz so he started to ramble.

"I mean you don't have to say it back, yet. I know it's a lot and I just want you….." Before Fitz could say anything else, Olivia kissed him. She kissed him with such force it almost knocked the wind out of him. They kissed for a while and Fitz loved seeing this take charge side of Olivia. When their kiss ended, Olivia smiled at her man.

His blue eyes were sparkling and bright.

"I love you too….I'm in love with you too…."

"You make me so happy." Fitz smiled at the love of his life. And to this that he almost lost to that loser Edison Davis.

"Awww Fitz, you make me happy as well. I'm so glad God put you in my life and to think that we almost didn't find each other." Fitz held Olivia and sat on the couch.

"You know Livvie…..I really want to adopt those kids….Our kids….And I know it's a lot, but I want to adopt them with you. You are their mother and deserve to be walking this walk with me….." Fitz smiled and kissed her nose.

"Fitz…...I would be honored to adopt the kiddos with you…."

"I'll have Andrew draft up the papers and as soon as we get married we'll make the adoption legal." Fitz said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Trust me when I say I am going to make you Mrs. Grant real soon. I mean not that you have to take my last name….." There he goes rambling again.

"Fitz! Stop! I would love to take your last name?"

"Really?"

"Yeah, I think Olivia Carolyn Grant has a nice ring to it." Olivia smiled thinking of their bright future.

"Move in with me!?" Fitz all of a sudden bursted.

"What? Fitz, I don't think it's a good idea….."

"Why not? You basically live here and we are all happy when you are here!"

"I don't know…..Aren't we heading into this a little too fast…..?"

"Liv…..we just talked about marriage and you want to say moving in together is moving too fast? Help me out here because I am confused." Fitz was getting agitated and Olivia could tell.

"Okay, Fitz let's calm down and reassess this. We can talk about marriage and still take it slow."

"I need you here Livvie….The kids need you here…"

"Fitz…..babe…..I'm just not there yet…"

"What are you so afraid of? It's like you go all in and then pull back."

"Fitzgerald that is not fair!"

"Livvie….I just want us to be happy." He looked at Olivia with his glossy eyes. Olivia sighed and opened her arms to him. He can act all tough and badass lawyer, but really behind those walls is a kind, and caring man that wants to make everyone happy. Wanting to get away from the tension, Fitz decided to switch the subject.

"You know what I was thinking, Livvie?"

"What babe?"

"I think that we need to do a family photoshoots. It's sad how I don't have any of my kiddo pictures in my office and I don't have yours." Fitz gave Olivia a small smile.

"I think that's a great idea baby. I have a friend who can help with that. He's a really good photographer." Olivia suggested.

"Great! When is he free for us?"

"Oh Sully is always free for me. He owes me." Olivia laughs. So, they scheduled the photo shoot for the day after tomorrow.

The next morning after mass the family went shopping. Olivia really much of an outfit matcher, but more of color coordinating. Since it was the fall leading into winter they decided to do a fall photoshoot. The first store they went to was Vineyard vines. Fitz was a big fan of them and he wanted the children to have more of Vineyard Vines. There they got flannels, vest, button downs and more. Then the family headed to Lacoste, Ralph Lauren, Nike, Dolce and Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, Chanel and more. Olivia picked out all of the outfits for the children. Her and Karen were really happy to shop, but the boys were slightly annoyed. Fitz tried to stay neutral as possible, but he was never a person to care about Shopping.

Somehow in Ralph Lauren, Jerry ended up in a dress and they all had a hard laugh at that. After all of the shopping was done, Olivia had to stop by the groceries store to make dinner for her family. She thought Fitz and the children would wait in the car, but they decided to come in. Teddy was a little tired so he was in Fitz's hard hiding his head in Fitz's neck. Fitz rubbed the boy's back and calm him down for his nap later. Jerry loved to help Olivia shop for food because he loves learning to cook from her. It was one of the things they bonded over. Karen on the other hand could care less, as long as the food is good she doesn't care. It doesn't mean she won't help her prepare though.

Olivia smiled at the improvement they've made with the children. Sure Jerry still has some of his episodes of anger, but he is doing much better. Karen still has nightmares, but not often anymore. Olivia was zoned out, that she didn't see who was in front of her.

"Hello Olivia." Edison smiled.

"Hello Edison." Olivia said in a cold tone. The children remembering who Edison was stood protectively in front of her. Fitz instantly grew man. If Teddy wasn't in his arms he would have done something violent.

"Oh this seems nice. You dump me and play family with this white trash." Edison spat.

"Fitz is twice of a man you'll ever be! He is honorable, respectable, and above all I love him and our children. So, goodbye Edison." Olivia took the children's hands and pushed Edison to the side. Fitz was incredibly turned on by the way Olivia defended him and declared her love for him out loud. Olivia thought it was just best not talking about that thing they ran into. She often questioned herself on what she saw in that man. The family got home and Olivia made seasoned grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, and steamed veggies. For Teddy she made mashed potatoes and little pieces of chicken.

After dinner and the kids got settled into the rooms, Fitz and Olivia decided to destress. He had a glass of Bourbon and had wine for Olivia.

"Actually give me that bourbon. I need it after seeing Edison today." Fitz laughed and handed the buron to Olivia and he took the wine. He was a hard liquor guy, but enjoyed wine as well.

"You know sometimes I look back and wonder what in the hell I was thinking almost getting married to that man." Olivia sighed and leaned her head on Fitz shoulder.

"Hey, you know what? It's all in the past. Let's not talk about him and just focus on us okay?" He smiled and sipped his wine.

"You are too cute!" Olivia cupped Fitz face and laughed.

"Cute? You know what, since I am comfortable with my masculinity. I will take that compliment with pride." Fitz smiled at the love of his life.

"I love you, Bub!"

"I love you too, Bub." Fitz smiled

The next morning Olivia had all of children dressed and ready to go. Fitz had on jeans, a grey hoodie, with a flannel over it, and boots. Olivia had on leggings, an oversized cream sweater and boots as well. Jerry had light washed jeans, a flannel with a vest over it and he had on LL Bean boots. Karen was in a adorable skirt, a cute top, with a bow to color match her dress and boots as well. Teddy was adorable. He had on jeans, a white button down, and timberland boots. Sully came ten minutes later and Fitz took them to the place he picked out. But, he wanted Olivia to see their future. He built them a house and it was perfect.

When they reached the place, Olivia was amazed at the house. It was elegant and had a very homey feeling to it. It overlooked the whole city of Los Angeles. There were plenty of trees and the house was just perfect. She wondered who were the blessed owner who lived here. There were neighbors, but they were far apart that the family would be able to have their privacy. For a second she started to day dream of her, Fitz and the children living her.

"Isn't it a beauty?" Sully commented about the house.

"Yes, it definitely is! Fitz do you know the owners?" Olivia had a sparkle in her eyes.

"Yes, it is. I'm actually looking at her." Fitz smiled. Olivia still not getting it was confused.

"What?"

"It's ours baby…...I bought the land…..Had the house built…I'm not saying we have to move in it now…..but it's ready whenever you are." Fitz smiled at her. Olivia didn't know what to say she just attack Fitz with a hug and a kiss.

"OMG THIS IS OUR HOUSE?" Karen screamed and ran around. Jerry came up to Fitz and patted him on the back.

"Nice! DAD! THIS IS LIT!" He took explored. Teddy sort of knew what was the excitement was about, so he too decided to squeal. Once the family got done exploring the house, the photoshoot got underway. The first ones were the children by the trees and grass. Then it was the whole family. There was one of Fitz and Olivia sitting down, and Jerry having his arms around them from behind. While Teddy on Olivia's lap and Karen on Fitz's lap. There was one photo the family playing with the leaves that Sully brought with him.

The family did several different poses and then it was on to Olivia and Fitz. Sully wanted this shot to be perfect. He had Fitz leaning against the tree and Olivia tucked to his side. While both of their heads were touching. There was one of Fitz sitting down with one of his knees up and Olivia hugging him from behind. Then there was one shot of them kissing, Fitz hugging Olivia from behind while she's laughing, and the last one where their hands were conjoined and Fitz was kissing her neck. Olivia and Fitz both took seperate picture with the children. Overall today was a good day and the family grew closer. When they arrived home there was Big Jerry, Alice, Cece and Will waiting for them for dinner. All was good for now.
