Life got back to normal for Fitz and Olivia once he got off punishment. His time was still restricted through the week with basketball, homework, and Grant Oil business. Olivia would come over three times a week for dinner and they would do homework together. They would do homework in Fitz's room on his bed. They left the door open so his parents were reassured that they were only doing homework. Olivia started reading poetry to Fitz before she left, but he would fall asleep every time.

They spent there weekend's together too. Fitz would usually be at Olivia's house all day Saturday where they continued their sexual relationship. Olivia's dad had started a new project with his company and most weekends he was in Portland. He would leave on Friday night come back Sunday. Fitz would come over early Saturday and Huck would take off for the day, so they had the house to themselves. Olivia sex drive started to match Fitz's, she had begun to be a little more aggressive in bed. Fitz loved when she thought she was dictating their pace and he would over power her and become very dominate. She would never admit it, but she loved it when he went cave man.

The week before Fitz's birthday they were laying in bed after their usual marathon sex sessions naked.

"I have something to ask you and you have to listen first, then give it a great deal of thought before you answer."

"This sounds serious! Lay it on me."

"Olivia you know my eighteen birthday is coming up. So I only want to hear yes from you when I ask you for my birthday gift!

"Tommy, you know I would get you anything you wanted for your birthday! I'm a woman of means now!" As she winked.

"Good with that being said, I want you!

Olivia looked dumbstruck by his statement, but she was going to comply with his previous request and let him finish."

Fitz climbed out of bed and magically produced another Tiffany's box. He came back on Olivia's side of the bed and bent down on one knee.

"Olivia Carolyn Pope would you do me the honor of marring me on my birthday? We might be eighteen but we are not the average teenager. People will say we're doomed for failure, but I going to take a page out of what your father said, and tell you whether it's now or four years from now my heart will want the same thing. You are my home, my everything, all I do now is with you in mind. We are no longer an I or me, we've become a we and us. Life can turn on a dime and I don't want to lose one second from you being in my life. So as I promised to you on your birthday, I make another promise to be your husband, father to our children, and support you in all endeavors.

Olivia was baling her eyes out after he finished. She told him to get back in bed and hold her until she could answer him. He put the ring on her nightstand and got back in bed and pulled her close. He put his head on her forehead and whispered, "say yes". When he started to kiss her eyes he whispered, "say yes." Her lips, "say yes." Every time he kissed her he whispered say yes. When his cock enter her he asked her to say yes. With each slow torturous stokes he gave her he asked her to say yes. When he could feel her walls tighten around his cock he was still asking her to say yes. Finally after he started to pound her and her orgasm hit she yelled out yes over and over again until her orgasm passed. Fitz came after like a freight train. it was the most intense sex they'd had up till then.

He was still in Olivia and still a little hard, he wanted more, but he had to make sure she meant what she said. He was waiting for her to come out of her orgasmic haze.

"Livy did you mean it?"

"Fitzgerald Thomas Grant, I would have said yes without the mind-blowing sex, but thanks for the effort! Boy when you really want something you go all out."

"Would you like to put your ring on?"

"I would love to, but I think you have unfinished business by the feel of your cock now."

Fitz smiled down at her and plunged his tongue in her mouth as he started just pounding her as hard as he could, he got so lost in his joy that he laid all his body weight on Olivia and hooked his arms around her and just let loose. He wanted to be inside her skin.

After their sexcapades, they were lying in bed looking at Olivia's engagement ring. It was the classic round cut Tiffany setting. It was like her promise ring, simple, sophisticated, and half a carat. Fitz said he would buy her something bigger when he got his inheritance.

"You will do no such thing! This is my engagement ring and I will never take it off. Promise me here and now, that you will bury me with it."

He looked at her and got a tear in his eye. "Liv, I promise!"

She kissed him tenderly.

"So, I seem to remember you saying we should get married on your birthday or just proposed to. So which is it?"

"I'm a man with a plan. So here is how this week is going to go. My actual birthday is on Thursday as you know. I sent Abby down to the King county court-house and got us the marriage license paperwork. I brought it over for the both of us to sign. There is a three-day waiting period for us to get married. I need you to take the paperwork to the court-house on Monday. One of us has to pay for the license in person. My parents are giving me the day off for my birthday, they said I've worked really hard the last couple of months. So Abby and Huck are going to ditch school and be our witnesses. On Saturday the Grant clan will gather for my birthday. This is a big birthday for me inheriting my Grant Oil shares. I want to announce our marriage then. The only question is where do you want us to live when all this blows up?"

"Wow! You weren't kidding about a plan. How about we live with my Dad until we find our own place. We can rent an apartment that is reasonable for us to commute to school. My Dad would let us live here, but it would be weird having sex with my Dad in the house. I want to live like a married woman in every way."

He pulls her chin up to look at him and says, "how does a married woman live Livy?"

"She walks around her house naked when she's home with her husband. She cooks for her husband and he hates her cooking. She sleeps the entire night in her husbands arms."

"Umm, I like this being a wife thing! Can we pretend some of that now?"

"You are such a horn dog! But all this talk of being married has made me horny too!"

They launch into another long slow love-making session until it was time for Fitz to go.

"Liv, are you sure, we don't have to go through with it."

"One thing your going to learn about me, is that I go with my gut in all things. You were a sure thing from the start, you are my future my home. I will be your wife on your birthday."

"I wanted to marry you on my birthday for another reason. I want our anniversary to be a reminder to me, how much of a gift you are to me."

He watch tears fall from Oliva's eyes. He brushed them away with his thumbs and kissed the trails down to her lips before he left.

Olivia went over to the Grant house that Monday like nothing was different. She put her ring on a chain that hung near her heart. They had dinner as usual. Fitz and Olivia went to Fitz's room to do homework. When nine rolled around she left Fitz on his bed asleep as usual after her poetry session. She came down the stairs and Fitz's mother asked her if she could talk to her. They went into the downstairs TV room.

"Olivia I wanted to talk to you woman to woman. I think that you should urge Fitzgerald for you two to slow down seeing each other. The end of school is almost here, graduation, he's busy with Grant Oil business, and I'm sure he will go to Houston this summer like he always does with his Grandfather, and I don't think the distraction with you is helping him concentrate."

"Mrs. Grant has Fitz's grades fallen? I know for a fact his six-week report says he's maintaining a 4.0. We challenge each other to get good grades. Is this coming from Fitz?"

"No, I just see how driven he's become and he spends way to much time with you now. He's too young to be so serious with you. College is on the horizon and he may want to explore other relationships while he's in school. You might want to do the same. I don't want to see either of you missing out on what college has to offer."

"Mrs. Grant what if what's good for Fitz is me? I don't want to come between you and your son. If you don't feel comfortable having me in your home then I will stop coming over. I should tell you that Fitz's has invited me to be his date for his birthday party. I'm sorry you feel this way about us, but thank you for being honest with me. I won't tell Fitz about this conversation. You can if you like, but I won't be the excuse for Fitz to be mad at you. You have a good night Mrs. Grant."

She left Fitz's house and when she got in her car she started to sob. She really liked Mrs. Grant and she was looking forward to having a relationship with Fitz's mother since she didn't have her own. She felt a profound loss, because if Mrs. Grants expressed her feelings to Fitz he would turn away from her and it would be because of her."

As she drove home she was thinking about Fitz's plan and she had to weigh what his mother's feelings. When she got home she went to Huck's room since he was in on the plan. She told him what his mother said and she was having second thoughts.

"Liv, do you love Fitz? I don't mean some teenage puppy dog stuff!"

"Yes, I love him with my very being."

"There comes a time in your life that you have to put everyone else's needs or wants to the side and grab happy for yourself. You taught me that when my family told me I was nothing and I would end up in the gutter somewhere. You taught me to tune out the negative and focus on what I had power over, and that was me. So I'm going to return the very big favor that changed my life forever. Tune out Mrs. Grant, this is about you and Fitz and your happiness. If she chooses not to be in your lives, then it's on her not you or Fitz. That's what married is supposed to mean, you leave your parents and become your own family. Liv, Thursday you begin your family."

"Huck I love you so much! You will always be part of that family. I might marry Fitz on Thursday, but make no mistake I will not start any life that doesn't have you in it."

She kissed and hugged him and went to bed.

The plan was put into motion. Olivia dropped off the paperwork at the court-house on Monday. As expected Fitz's parents woke him up with the traditional happy birthday from everyone, and his father granted him a reprieve from school then they all went downstairs and had Fitz's favorite breakfast. Everyone was holding off until Saturday to give him his gifts, so he only got cards from everyone. Everyone got ready for school and work. Fitz and his mom were the only ones left home. Around noon his mom screamed up the stairs that she was going out for a bit. Fitz told her he was going out to have lunch with Olivia at her school. When he heard the van leave the drive way. Fitz snuck his black suit out to his car.

He made his way over to Olivia's house. Abby was already there. Huck let him in and let him change into his suit. He wore a blue shirt that matched his eyes and a blue and black striped tie to match. Abby came in to pin a small boutineer on his lapel. She had gotten Olivia a bouquet for her to carry. Fitz went downstairs to wait for Olivia. When he looked up he saw an angel descending the steps. Olivia was in a crème colored Grecian dress that hugged every curve that was possible. She had a bouquet that matched her dress. Her hair was up in a bun with two curly strands framing her face. When Fitz saw her, he started to cry. When she saw him crying she started too.

"Livy you look so beautiful and your going to be my wife soon." He kissed her gently on her lips.

"Listen you two are not having a cry fest in the foyer of Liv's house. Lets go get you two hitched." Abby said.

They made a lovely couple at the justice of the peace. Abby and Huck were dressed in their Sunday best also. Fitz had bought the matching platinum wedding bands for them. Huck gave them the rings when the judge called for them. When he told him he could kiss the bride, Fitz felt like something had clicked in him he didn't expect to feel. He felt that he had just shut the door on his childhood. He was responsible for someone other than himself now. His heart beat so fast and loud he thought everyone could hear it.

Olivia thought someone had reached in her heart and squeezed. She could barely breathe. She was Olivia Grant now. She needed some air. They all walked out of the court steps and stood there for a moment and looked at each other and started to cackle like lunatics. Fitz took her off the steps and twirled her around and around until he stopped stood her up and kissed her like a man kisses his wife, so he thought. He had one more surprise for them all. He reserved a private dining room at the four seasons to have a late lunch. They had not been able to eat before and now he was famished. They provided a small wedding cake and Abby and Huck took all kinds of pictures from the day. Abby said she wanted to make a wedding album for them as her gift. Huck gave them a better gift. His father was an apartment building manager of several building around Seattle and Bellevue. He hacked his computer and knows of a few apartments that will be coming on the market this coming week.

Fitz got up to say a few words.

"Olivia we did it! You are my wife, my life, my love, and my best friend. I will protect you, encourage you in all that you want to do, and sometime in the future the father of our children. I promise to never go to bed mad at you and I hope that there is nothing in this life you can't tell me." he raised his glass of sparkling apple juice and kissed her.

Olivia felt a little twinge when he said there was nothing she couldn't tell him and she was debating whether to tell him about his mother.

"Fitz, you are my husband and I promise all the same. I want to add that when we use the can't get mad card, that we can't get mad no matter how bad it is." She raised her glass and kissed him back. It was late afternoon when they all got back to the Olivia's house. Abby went home and Huck changed and went to the Library so the newlyweds could have some alone time.

They got out of their clothes and got into bed. Fitz told her to he wanted to make love to his wife for the first time. Fitz took his time making love to Olivia he worshiped her body as well as Olivia worship his in return. When they finished they just laid down facing each other in silence. They just stared at each other for hours or so it seemed. He took his index finger and traced the side of her face over her lips and kissed her very sweetly. Olivia took his his ring finger and kissed his ring and she said mine. He smiled and said always.

Soon he had to get home. His mom was making all his favorites. He asked if she wanted to come over. She said no, she was a little tired from their world wind of a day. She wanted to stay home and savor the memories of the day. He gave his ring to Olivia. He told her to bring it to the birthday bash. When they tell them about being married he wanted to put it back on and he would never take it off again. She put both sets of rings on her chain.

"Goodnight wife!"

"Goodnight Husband!"
