It has to be 20 plus chapter's so wish me luck. Happy Reading!
Tears fall down her face as she can feel her blood pressure rising. She tries to calm herself down with breathing techniques but it's not really working. As the detail pulls up in front of her home she decides she doesn't want to be there alone. "Please take me to my parent house." The detail pulls out and head to Liv's parent's home. She continues to call Fitz but the call keeps going to voicemail. She throws the phone on the seat.
Once she reaches her parent's home she practically runs inside. "MOM! DAD!" She yells out. Her mom is the first to enter the living area. "Livvie honey what is it?" Liv runs into her mother's arms just as Eli walks into the room. Liv's security detail also enters the house. This put Eli on alert. Liv is so overwhelmed she can't stop crying as Mya holds her. Eli looks to her detail the expression on their faces tells him something happened. He walks over to his wife and daughter. "Livvie what's the matter? What happened?" But all he gets are sobs. "Livvie you're shaking baby what happened what's the matter?" Mya continues to question.
"What happened?" Eli asked with such authority in his voice.
"Sir a gentleman we thought was Mr. Grant approached Ms. Pope and had words with her. I'm sorry Sir we thought he was Mr. Grant he looks so much like him but when Ms. Pope drew back from him with shock did we realize something was wrong and we took him down. He did not physically harm her Sir." The lead detail explained.
Eli dismisses them. They return to the car. He goes over to his wife and daughter as they are now sitting on the sofa and take a seat next to them. Mya looks at Eli. He nods no word are needed. He then pulls Liv into his arms and comforts her. Suddenly her body goes limp and both of her parents jump into action. They take her to the emergency when she wouldn't wake up. Eli steps away to make a phone call. "Theodore Grant is a dog that needs to be put down. Watch all properties. He may show up at home or my daughter house." He hangs up and returns to the waiting room with Mya.
Meanwhile back to Fitz during same time frame…..
Fitz was really missing Liv. He didn't realize how hard this would be being away from her for so long. He went to his superiors to ask to be reassigned in the DC area. They declined which pissed Fitz off to no end. They also threatened to fire him if he left Miami before the case was finished. So Fitz helped them out he quit. He needed to be with Liv. All day he had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. He needed to get back home with his pregnant girlfriend because this feeling wouldn't go away. He thought he would surprise Liv and show up unexpectedly. He boards his private jet and turns off his phone. He falls asleep during the flight. Upon the end of the flight the pilot announces that they have reached their destination. Fitz wakes and powers up his phone. The alerts are deafening to him. His heart drops into the pit of his stomach. 15 missed calls from Liv. He immediately calls her back but gets no answer. He calls the house but gets no answer. He jumps into his car that he left at the airport and speeds home, and continue trying to call Liv. In this moment he wishes he had her parent's phone number. Fitz gets home in record time. Jumping out of his vehicle he runs towards the entry and is suddenly hit with a sharp pain in his back and chest. He falls to the ground thinking to himself 'did I just get shot?' He reaches for his phone because he could feel himself fading fast. He speed dials the only number he knows will answer and find him. "T…Tom"
"Fitz what is it? Fitz, Fitz." Tom jumps into action and begins typing on his laptop bringing up the locator for the tracker that was placed in Fitz's shoulder when he signed up to the agency. He sees Fitz is at home. He calls 911 sending them to his house and he himself was in route. Once Tom arrived at Fitz's home the paramedics are doing CPR. Tom jumps out of his car and runs in their direction. The police try to hold him back. "Fitz…Fitz…That's my brother he called me I called 911. What happened?"
"He appears to have a single gunshot wound to the back. He wasn't breathing when the ambulance got here." They hear the paramedic yell out we got a pulse. Fitz was lifted into the ambulance. Tom jumps into his car and follow. He immediately informs the Grants that Fitz was shot and is on the way to Mercy General Hospital.
As they reach the hospital Tom goes inside with the emergency staff and stays with Fitz. He begins to make phone calls as to try and find out what's on the black net. Outside in the waiting room the Grants arrive minus Teddy, even Hilda's there. They notice the Popes and the Popes notice them. Eli and Mya approach. "My son Fitzgerald Grant was brought in with a gunshot wound I want to know where he is and how he's doing." The desk clerk looks up Fitz in her computer. "It looks like he arrived about 15 minutes ago and is in emergency surgery. I will have someone come out to speak with you and take you to the OR waiting room." "Thank you." Marie and Gerry say at the same time.
"Fitz was shot?" Mya asks.
Yes, apparently he was shot on his way into his home, and managed to call his partner Tom who sent 911 to his location. He wasn't breathing but they performed CPR and got him back. We don't know who shot him or why."
"Wasn't he supposed to be out of town?" Eli inquired
"Yes. Why are you guys here?"
"Your son." Eli says.
"My son? What do you mean?"
"Teddy. She ran into Teddy and caused her to have a severe panic attack and now she's here."
"Eli I swear I talked to that boy. But I need to check on Fitz we will discuss Teddy. Keep us posted on Liv." Gerry says as the surgery staff calls for his family.
Minutes later the doctor comes out and calls for the Pope family taking them back to Liv. She was awake. Eli pauses as his phone rings and he sends Mya into the room. He answers. "It's done."
The voice on the other end says. "Where did it take place?" "He was at your daughter's house." "That's was the wrong man." Eli hangs up. He's responsible for his daughter's boyfriend being shot. He returns to Liv's room and by his wife's side.
"Livvie baby this is getting ridiculous something is wrong here. This is the third time this has happened."
"Mom these episodes started when I became pregnant. That combined with my panic attacks is what's causing this and unfortunately I have no control over either. Have you seen my phone I need to call Fitz?" Mya looks at her husband to take the lead on this conversation. He does.
"Livvie bear, we need to tell you something." Eli can't find the words to explain to his daughter that the man she loves was shot and is fighting for his life in the same hospital she's in and he ordered the hit only they shot the wrong man. Well of course Eli was a man of many secrets and he would just add this mishap to the list.
"Can it wait dad? She looks around the room. "Where is my phone I need to call Fitz?"
"Dear we haven't seen your phone, but Fitz is here." Liv smiles.
"He's here, but he was just in Miami. He knows I'm here. I need to talk to him."
Eli can't bring himself to tell Liv about Fitz's condition. So the strong Mya speaks up. "Livvie honey, you have been through a lot. I need you to please stay calm and think about you and the baby. Can you do that for me please?"
"Mom what is it, where is Fitz?"
"Livvie we need you to be strong for Fitz and the baby."
"Mom you keep saying that….where is Fitz and why is he here in DC when he was just in Miami, why is he not here with me?" Liv begins to panic and tears form in her eyes.
"Livvie honey Fitz was shot today on his way home. He's in emergency surgery now but that's all we know."
"Wh….what? No mommy Fitz is in Miami. He can't be shot he can't be in surgery he's in Miami."
"Yes dear he must have come home early or something maybe to surprise you. The Grants are here with him. He called some guy named Tom who sent 911 and found him in front of your home…shot. He wasn't breathing when they got there but they managed to get a pulse back and rushed him here straight to emergency surgery. I'm so sorry sweetie."
Liv parents grab her into a much needed hug. She sits back against her pillows. "It's Chase. Chase is here. Chase shot Fitz." Liv says as she stares off. "Take me to him."
"Honey you're in shock right now. Fitz is in surgery you won't be able to see him until he comes out." Eli states
"Dad I want to be near him. I need to talk to the Grants." Liv says with such calm it scares her parents. She's departmentalizing her emotions like her father does. But this could be a good thing. No emotion means no panic attacks which is what's best for her and the baby. It's her gladiator mode as Huck calls it.
This is also a good thing for Eli with Chase being on the run they could definitely pin the shooting on him.
A/N: Whoo this was a lot. These last two chapters were gut wrenching for me to write. Our boy Fitz was not being bad, he was actually thinking about his beautiful women. Yeah Eli's men are truly messing up. How will Liv handle Fitz being shot? What happens now that she thinks Chase is responsible? What will happen next? Leave your thoughts and reviews.
