All That Is Expected.

He didn't belong. No matter how much his parents constantly tried to prove him wrong. No matter how much he assured himself. No, he didn't belong.

Hey guys! So you probably wondering... what's up with this? Well I constantly create characters and explore different sides of them at different moments of a story so... this is me taking on Charlie. I do hope it makes sense and connects with "Hang In There" as much I want it to.

A bit of drama this chapter but only a little because I am so happy about Olitz on the show even though I know things won't stay like that, anyways enjoy!

I do not own anything. Just my desire to put down my emotions down to words.

Chapter 11:

Charlie Grant wasn't easily spooked. All the bullying and media he had had to deal with in his short life had thaught him better and still he sat there on the living room's couch with Haley's mom and he felt so shy.

"So tell me Charlie, how long have you been at the school?" The lady was nice. She was a single mom of three. Haley being the eldest one. Two boys followed.

"I just got transferred a while back" Charlie smiled up accepting a glass of water. "I had..."

"He was bullied at school" Haley said. "A private school like the one you wanted to send me" Her mother eyed Charlie carefully.

"Oh I'm sorry sweetheart" She told him. "Good thing you and my Hales are friends huh?"

"I guess" Charlie smiled again. He noticed the woman wouldn't stop staring at him. "Mrs Collins?"

"I didn't mean to stare!" She giggled. "You look so familiar to me..."

"Go ahead and tell her, she'll be thrilled" Haley nudged his arm.

"Tell me what?" She asked.

"Still haven't figured it out mom? The eyes, the last name.."

There was an awkward silence. Charlie felt as if he was six again and people were saying things about him, he had not understood them then, now he knew they had been taking how he was the spitting image of Fitz, except for the light tanned skin color. Why was it all about color? There was a sudden knock on the door. Charlie prayed it was Tom and he could get out of the embarrassing moment of another of his dad's fan girls. Haley included.


OPA and parties. Those words were good together. Stephen and Georgia also planned to be there. Liv had managed to get all the boys to help her since she was almost 8 moths pregnant with twins.

"Are you sure you want this to happen now Liv?" Teddy asked as he dragged his feet outside to the patio where Charlie and Haley were setting up the gigantic table.

"Of course" Liv winked. "What kind of hostess would I be?"

"The kind that it's too pregnant to even think about throwing a party, much like for her over drinking group of friends" Gerry said from behind her. Liv had to admit she liked the idea of the control she had on the boys. Including her super hot husband who worked over the grill.

"Thanks for inviting me over Charlie" Haley smiled as she watched her mom giggle out with Karen and Robert. "Mom has been a bot down so, she really needed this" Charlie had heard that Haley's dad wasn't around much since he was in the army, so her mom was practically a single mother.

"Sure, my parents don't mind, I just wished we could have done it over at the ranch" And he really did. It was warmer and had a pool and horses. "Maybe I could take you there someday"

"I'd like that" He could have sworn she'd blushed.


"So Charlie and the girl?" Stephen sat besides Liv in the terrace. "Just friends?"

"He's twelve" Olivia groaned rubbing her belly.

"So?"

"Sweetheart don't push it" Georgia smirked. "Charlie's a smart boy"

"Is that supposed to be a hint?"

"It is" Olivia and Georgia laughed. "He's just being nice to her"

"Using a dose of Grant Charm while at it" Fitz interjected. "That's my boy"

"I wouldn't be surprised if he asked her out" Harrison said sipping his beer.

"Can we please stop talking about my son's love life?" Olivia pleaded.

"As long as we don't talk about mine" Harrison said under his breath. Harrison. The eternal gladiator.

"So have you figured out who is going to be the twins's godmother?" Quinn asked. "This could be the last baby we all have" They all glanced over at Fitz.

"Hey, she's the boss" He lifted up his arms in defense. The vasectomy wasn't still a done deal but Olivia prayed for it to happen. Maybe if he puked and got fat and gave birth, he'd understand her point. Ouch. Liv clutched her belly and gasped in pain.

"Liv?" Fitz glanced over at her. "What?"

"It's happening" Time for the house to be a mess again.


Okay guys so the babies are coming and everyone is still waiting for the godparents to be announced. There's still about two chapters left in this story so... what do you think about names? Have two names already but not sure

thanks for sticking with me and I hope this didn't suck! Plus we'll have a flashback to who Charlie's godparents are.
