A/N- As promised for my birthday I give you guys the gift of updates.
Guys, I am going to change this up a little bit. I am not going to share the honeymoon. I want to change things up a little bit. I can't change who I am. I make mistakes, and after a lot of soul searching I have decided to continue writing. Although, I will be making small changes here and there to my stories I plan to remain true to self. I appreciate all of you especially those who send me personal DMS, emails, and text messages. For staying by my side and supporting me no matter what. In the future, I may give tidbits of the honeymoon in flashbacks.
Olivia opened the door, and Ella came running into her arms. She had to admit that she enjoyed every second of her honeymoon with her husband after their family vacation, but she was ready to see her daughter. She knew Fitz felt the same way. She was quickly turning into a daddy's girl.
When Fitz walked through the door with their bags he dropped them down when he saw his daughter. From the moment that he said "I Do" he felt complete, but knowing that Ella was legally their daughter completed him in a way he couldn't explain. He knew that it couldn't get any better until they expanded their family. They were actively trying, but not pressuring themselves. In the meantime, they had a business to run.
They were meeting with Robert Caldwell in the morning to finalize the deal. Olivia had scheduled a press conference that Friday for them to announce the partnership, and the new merger. Their team had done an excellent job doing the prep work for them.
They knew that the next couple of days would be stressful. The next month would be stressful. After the press conference, they would have to deal with the media, but bigger than that they knew that the Ballard family would not be happy. Jake would try to find some way to get back at Olivia to foil the plan. That was how messy he was. It would not end until the night of the gala.
They were also sitting down for an exclusive interview. The couple knew they were a power couple, and they would have to deal with the public, but they wanted to keep their private life separate. They wanted their children to live as normal as they possible could. In order for that to continue to happen they needed to let them in their world for a moment so they would stop snooping around.
Olivia was in the kitchen making dinner for their family. She had been married for almost a month, and every day she woke up happier than the next. She realizes that in all the years she was with Jake she had not experienced a fraction of the happiness that she now had.
Ella was showing Fitz her audition video. Fitz found out there was a group within the dance studio that was considered elite. They performed at special functions, competitions, and they were trained so they could audition for professional videos and things of that nature. Ella was interested in joining, but she had not shared it with the couple due to the fact it would require them to take more time out their schedule for her.
After discussing it with Olivia they sat Ella down, and let her know they supported her if she wanted to try out since the team had two spots open. While they were on their honeymoon Ella had audition. Olivia was working on a big case so Fitz had helped her prepare. From recording her practices so she could see what she needed to work on to turning her music on and off when needed. He never complained. He even had Olivia's mom come over and show him how to patch up a hole in one of her costumes.
When she got nervous right before her audition she had called her parents, and they FaceTime with her to ease her fears although they were on their honeymoon.
Both of their moms had taken her, and made sure to record the audition. Fitz was now watching it for the first time. They knew she had put a lot of time and effort into this audition, and he hoped she would be rewarded.
Fitz looked at his wife, "She did an awesome job babe. She is just like you. She is book smart, and artistically talented. I know I am biased, but I think she should be selected."
Olivia laughed at her husband's last statement, "I agree, but I think most would agree that we are biased. When I finish dinner, I will look at it okay pumpkin?"
Ella nodded, "Thanks mom…"
"No problem. While I am cooking catch us up to what you did with your grandparents while we were on our honeymoon."
That was the beginning of the Grant's first evening home not only as a married couple, but parents in their new home.
After enjoying their evening with Ella, and speaking with both sets of parents and their siblings for a few moments they were ready to relax before work.
After getting Ella to bed the couple went back to their honeymoon bubble. They had a lot of house to christen, but they had the rest of their lives. Sure they had plans to buy other properties together, but this was going to be home base for them.
Once they reached their bedroom Olivia jumped in her husband's arms where they shared a passionate kiss. Although their master bedroom was on the end of the hall they had their bedroom sound proofed.
She leaned down and shared a passionate kiss with her husband. They only pulled back when they needed air.
Their foreheads touching, they sat there in silence just enjoying the moment. For them just being together was enough, and looked forward to coming home at night and winding down in this room.
Fitz caressed her cheek, "How about we break in our shower?"
"You never need my permission to ravish me. This body is just as much yours as it is mine."
"I still can't believe you married me."
"Well you better believe mister, because I am not going anywhere."
"You better not."
The couple made love in the shower, and enjoyed washing each other. They finally climbed in the bed.
They were watching the news both on their way to sleep when Fitz blurted out, "Liv, are you sure you want to take on my uncle?"
Olivia looked at her husband. She knew the underlying question was "Did she want to take the Ballard family specifically Jake head on?"
She kissed his forehead, "We have weathered so much already. I will be honest and say I wasn't expecting to take on such a big client and project right after we got married. I thought we would have a honeymoon phase at work. It didn't work out that way. Your uncle wants us, and we don't back down from a fight. Besides our team has already put a lot of hours into this. We are not going to let it go to waste."
"Okay Livvie. I want you to know that this has nothing to do with trust…"
"I know baby. You are just looking out for me like always."
"You, Ella, and our future children are my world. There is nothing that I wouldn't do for you, and I want you to always know that."
Olivia leaned down and kissed her husband, "I promise I know. I also know that my husband knows how to take care of all of my needs, and right now I need him to make love to me."
Fitz gladly took care of all his wife needs. She felt refreshed and ready to tackle the world the next morning.
The couple made it to the office early not only to get ready for their meeting with Robert Caldwell, but to walk around their office for a few minutes alone. They had put a lot of time and energy to consolidate the new offices. It was nice to take a moment to bask in their success.
Fitz looked at his wife, "We did good…"
She nodded, "We did great. When I started my firm on my own separate from my dad it was never out of spite. I just wanted to be seen as Olivia Pope. Not the daughter of Eli Pope. I accomplished that, and now I feel it is an honor that we carry on now only my dad's firm, but mine together as one. The past and the present equal a great future for us Fitz. I feel it."
He hugged his wife, "I agree…"
The staff was excited to see the couple in the office. They had a large breakfast set up for everyone. They gladly showed pictures from their honeymoon. They laughed between them, because most of those pictures were taken at the end of their honeymoon. They didn't leave their suite too much. After all they were trying to extend their family. They talked and they wanted to have three biological children in addition to Ella.
Although their honeymoon was just that they did talk a little business especially towards the end. They knew how big it was to have the Caldwell Group as their client, but they also knew it wouldn't be easy. The Ballard's were not going to take this lost well. Olivia had to plan for every possible attack they were going to throw at them whether it was personal or professional. She knew Jake would try both, and she also knew that one way or another the public would be involved.
Fitz must admit that he was concerned, because he knew the Ballard's were dirty. He knew that Jake was not happy that he lost Olivia to him, and he was just waiting for the perfect opportunity to try and get back at his wife. He knew that although they were now one company that certain parts of this battle she would just have to fight herself. She had to get that closure that she never cared about until she met him. At the end of the day it was a lot to deal with, but together they could overcome anything
Robert walked into the conference room where they were being briefed on the cases that their team wanted to take as well as pending cases that were taking place before they got married. They were signing off on the last request when he walked in.
He took a moment to take in his godson. When he was younger he had a great bond with him. He spent time with him, and did something that his dad didn't do he listened to him. He takes a moment to reflect how he stopped listening to him as much when he got older especially when he first started his political career. He knew that Fitz could barely tolerate Mellie, but he was doing what he and his dad asked. If everyone else was happy he would survive. Despite it being painful seeing his godson embarrassed on his 40th birthday it lead to his happiness. He had never seen him as happy as he was now, and he knew the only thing that would make him happier is adding to their family.
Fitz looked up to see his godfather. He went over and shared a warm embrace, "Uncle Robert, how are you?"
"Doing fine son, but it looks like you are doing better than me..."
"I didn't know happiness like this existed. Being in the same room with Olivia just makes me happy. Going to bed with someone that I know loves me, cherishes me, and respects me is more than I ever thought possible. She is everything that I wanted and more."
"You deserve it son, and I am glad that you finally found the love of your life. I am sorry for my part in making your life miserable."
"That is the past. Dad & I are in a great place. I want the same for us. Not just for business reasons but personal as well. You would love our daughter, and we plan to expand. A child can never have too many grandparents."
"Grandparents, I am sure Olivia doesn't feel the same way. After all I had a hand in messing up your life."
Olivia walked up, "You also had a hand in raising him to be the man that I am head over heels in love with. Even before we talked at the wedding Fitz had nothing bad to say about you. Fitz & I have learned that our dads have made some mistakes, but those mistakes don't outweigh the love they have for us. I want our children to feel all that love and more."
Robert smiled, "Then it will be an honor. I must find some time to get to know Ella."
Fitz nodded, "We will make sure that happens. "Let's sit down and talk business."
Everyone got settle. They already had packets in front of Robert when he sat down. He had to admit he was surprised to see how well prepared the couple were. They had just come back from their honeymoon the night before. This decision was made at their wedding. They were more prepared than Jake and his team in years. It was refreshing, and not a word of business had been spoken.
Olivia began, "I am sure you are wondering how we prepared this so quickly. Our team is the best there is. That is why we can be who we are, and we had them to send us the information, and we took a little time on our vacation to ensure that we could handle what you need from us."
Robert nodded, "Can you handle me?"
Fitz nodded, "We can, but with changes. Uncle Robert you have an empire, and on the outside it appears you are making money, but the truth is that you are losing money."
Robert looked up in shock.
Olivia continued, "He is right. I discovered that while initially the Ballard's were making wise investments and managing your money that has changed in the last couple of years. They have advised you to invest in companies that are bringing in minimal to no gain for you, but lots of money for them. I suspect that since Jake is the head of the company now that he is receiving some sort of kickback. That would be the only reason he would make these suggestions to you."
They allowed Robert to take in what they were saying before continuing.
Olivia said, "While you may have lost some money it was not a lot which is why it was easy for you to overlook. I don't think it was about you losing money. It was about him making money. I revamped your portfolios myself. I recommended you drop several companies which is the first packet. The second packet is the recommendations. I know that with us telling you about losing money you would want to take a closer look at what I recommended. I take no offense. You are our client. At the end of the day I want to ensure you are happy. Fitz prepared the final two packets."
Fitz nodded, "The next packet is your political contribution. Obviously, you are one of the leaders in the Republican party, and you like to support your candidates especially the Governor of California and the President of the United States. I wanted to make sure you see how much you are spending personally and business wise. This is your money at the end of the day, but I do find it off that compared to how much you have donated to the Governor's campaign in the past it has doubled. I assure you it is not personal. If that is your choice then it is fine, but you asked us to do a job. Politics is more my arena which is why Livvie thought I should look over the numbers. If it is correct I will say you are treading very thin when it comes to how much money you are giving. I just want you to be careful. You have always been above the fray, and I just thought you wanted to stay that way."
Robert stood up. He was furious. He knew that Jake was up to some things, but he had no idea that he was putting his good reputation and business on the line. To think if he had not made this change sooner he could have been in court facing criminal charges.
Robert calmed himself and sat down to hear about the last packet.
Fitz knew that they were going to rock his godfather's world. So much to the point that Fitz called his dad. He couldn't tell his dad anything as Robert was their client, but he did tell his dad that he should follow up with him as soon as the meeting was over. He had a feel that his godfather would need his best friend. By the look on his face he made the right call.
Fitz said, "The last packet is the contract for us to officially take over. Olivia has already sent in documents to the SEC. The press conference has been scheduled. As far as a fee technically speaking we are not charging you for our services. You are family. The fee you will see in the packets is millions of dollars per year cheaper. The rate is to take care of the small staff that will be assigned to assist you. While Olivia & I are heads. We need eyes keeping up with your needs. They will report their recommendations to us, and we will make the final call before reporting them over to you."
Robert, "You guys don't have to do that. I didn't come to you expecting a discount, because Fitz was my godson."
Olivia smiled, "I know. It was my idea. Not Fitz's. Uncle Robert, we are worth more money than we will ever spend. The announcement that you are now our client will bring in million dollar clients alone. At the end of the day I agreed to take you on as a client like I would anyone else. I believe I can help you. We own this firm, and we can charge what we want. I don't look at you as a charity case. I look at you as family who needs assistance with their business. Nothing more nothing less."
Robert looked at the couple in front of him, and his anger faded away. He could spend time being mad at Jake and the Ballard's, but it wasn't worth it. He should have made changes sooner. He believed in God so maybe it wasn't his time. Now was the time. He knew that he would go back to making money, but with Fitz & Olivia's help he could go back to being more family oriented.
Robert opened the packet with the contract and signed it. He looked at the couple, "Fitz, although it is a business meeting I just want to take this time in front of your wife to apologize for all the heartache I caused you for the sake of politics. I know that it lead you to the love of your life, but it was painful nonetheless. Speaking of politics, you are right. I would never toe the line this close. As much as I love politics and the Republican party, I love my freedom more. I need to make sure that is corrected immediately."
Fitz smiled, "Already in the works. I just needed to hear from you..."
Robert looked at Olivia, "I am not questioning your recommendations. What I want to look at, and what I want is to bring my company back to what it used to be. Sure, I made money, but it was family oriented. We helped people, and I have gotten away from that. I want to get back."
"I noticed the pattern so when you look at the recommendations you will see that I one of the plans fits that to a tee. If that is what you want, we can make it happen. We are a team."
Robert stood up and went over to the pair. After hugging them both, "I like that…"
Jake had received notification that his services were no longer needed. It did not detail who was taking over. They sent a team from her dad's firms to get any remaining files from Jake. They made sure that it was a team that he was not aware of. No matter what Jake did no one could tell him who was now handling Robert Caldwell. He thought it might be Olivia, but there was no time. His eyes said she had just returned from her honeymoon, and they never saw Robert enter the office. What he didn't know was that they had installed an underground entrance, for clients like Robert. Jake or his memes never saw him enter or exit the state of the art office.
Although Fitz & Olivia would not admit to anyone or each other that they were looking for payback. Between Jake, Mellie, and Andrew they had wronged them in ways that were unexplainable. The couple was too classy for old school revenge. Nope they were taking the game to a whole new level, and their friends and family were only too happy to help.
Strike one took place on Friday when Olivia held the press conference with Robert Caldwell. She had talked with Kimberly, and the two of them got a select group of reporters in the office for the press conference. Kimberly received the exclusive sit down interviews, but the other network would be getting great coverage.
Olivia walked up to the podium dressed to kill. She had decided on a black Escada diamond pique double breasted jacket with the matching straight leg pants. She paired the suit with a pair of black Manolo Blahnik leather point toe pumps.
She opened her hand. Although the original plan was for her to do this press conference she changed her mind. She wanted her partner beside her. she felt stronger with him beside her. as soon as his hands covered hers she stood taller.
Robert was in the other room waiting to be introduced.
Olivia began, "When I became a lawyer I had the perfect set up. My dad had a successful firm, and I could have come in and built on his success. That would have been easy. My dad wanted to eventually hand over the reins to me, but I changed the plan when after a short period, I left and started my own firm. It was never about hurting my dad, but I wanted to path my own way. I wanted to be just as successful as my dad. Not successful because of my dad. I surpassed my goal. Lucky for me not only did I find my soul mate, but my soul mate stepped up and took over my dad's firm so that he could retire. After some family discussions, we decided to merge the two successful law firms. I am pleased to announce that Grant, Pope, and Associates is open for business. We retained every single employee from both firms. Many of them received promotions and/or raises. In the future, we plan to expand so this is a win for the city. A personal win for our firm was securing our first multi-million-dollar client since we merged. I won't bore you with a long speech. A lot of speculation is going on in the media with the Caldwell group. We are here this morning to confirm that the news is correct. The Caldwell Group is no longer being handled by the Ballard's. Robert Caldwell did contact us and retain our services. Our firm will be overseeing his entire portfolio. My husband and I will be his lead advisers. Mr. Caldwell is going to briefly speak, and then we will take a couple of questions. We will not be answering any personal questions. You must tune into the exclusive interview Monday night for that."
Robert stepped up to the podium, "I know that it feels like this decision was made impulsively, but the truth is that for a couple of years I have not been happy with the direction my company was going in. I have known the Grant family for most of my life, and Fitzgerald since he was born. When he went back into private practice I began to think about making a serious change, and once he merged his father-in-law's firm with his wife's firm so seemingly I knew I was ready for a change. I was also ready to bring my company back to its old roots where family was first. Where the needs of the community were important. I thanked the Ballard family for their years of service to our family, and I look forward to the great work that I will be doing with Fitz & Olivia Grant."
While the three of them were answering media questions Jake was answering to his dad who wanted to know how he missed this. Jake internally was trying to figure the same thing out. He had people all over Olivia, and he had never seen Robert once. He even showed his dad the intel. His dad informed him that by the end of the gala when it was announced that Andrew was the Republican nominee for Governor if Robert did not agree to come back to them he would be out of a job.
Jake had no idea how he was going to make it happened. Carefully being the key word for sure when it came to his ex-fiancée. She was a beautiful woman, but make no mistake although he never admitted it anytime they were together she was often the smartest person in the room. He made a call to the one person who might be able to outsmart Olivia Pope well Olivia Grant, "We need to talk…"
Olivia had made it back to the office after a quick lunch with Fitz. He was meeting with a client, and she wanted to check in with her team to see how the press conference was received.
The only concern she had about merging the firms was how her team would fit in. They were professional, but they were used to doing their own thing. Not as structured as her dad's firm, but she was surprised how quickly they fit in. She was even surprised to see Huck wearing a button down shirt.
She smiled when Abby & Harrison walked through the door and handed her a folder.
Abby smiled at her best friend, "They loved the press conference. It went perfect other than a couple of reporters still trying to get more details on your wedding and relationship with Fitz."
Olivia nodded. The original plan was for them to do their interview first, but with them submitting the paperwork and not wanting to give Jake a chance to figure out who was now taking over for him the press conference came first.
Olivia looked at Harrison, "How about Robert? How was he perceived?"
"Very well. A lot of people were unhappy with him. Although he is a Republican he used to give especially to his loyal employees. He has had the highest turnover ever in the last two years so people are hoping he hopes up his end of the bargain which we know he will with our help. I received his approval on our recommendations. I started on them. I also understand the receptionist has been fielding a lot of calls. We are off to a great start."
Olivia smiled, "We are. I'll feel better once this interview is over."
Abby knew her best friend hated being in front of the camera, "I know this is not your favorite place to be especially with the spotlight being on you, but get it over with. With the merger, we are now the largest firm in the state. You just married who everyone thought was going to be the next Governor of California, and future President of the United States. Let them see your love, and then you two can move on without them hounding you."
"You are right Abby. I know that a lot of people are still hoping that Fitz will announce he changed his mind. Also a lot of people think that I am already pregnant, and we will announce that during the interview."
"You better not be announcing that without telling us first."
"I assure you we are not expecting yet, but I can assure you my husband is trying."
Harrison laughed, "This is my queue to leave. Although I will admit I can't wait to see your stomach round."
The ladies talked a few more minutes before Abby left. Olivia spent the rest of the day in her office. She had a lot of paperwork to catch up on. She did not realize how late it had gotten until her husband walked into her office.
She didn't know how long he had been standing there. She smiled at him.
Fitz closed the door and walked over to his wife, "You know Mrs. Grant we are still newlyweds. Do I need to be worried that this desk will get more use than our bed?"
Olivia shook her head, "Never, I had no idea it had gotten so late. Ella asked me if she could stay with my parents tonight. Afterwards I lost track of time. I am assuming everyone is gone."
"They are. I may consider forgiving you if you show me what is under that power suit. Was it all for the press?"
Olivia decided to show him better than she could tell him. She undressed and she was standing before him in a red La Perla push up bra with the matching red thongs.
Fitz sat down in her chair, and enjoyed the view.
Olivia walked over. She could see her husband was now hard as a rock. "I think I know of a way I can make it up to my husband."
Fitz whispered, "How is that?"
"I can show you better than I can tell you…"
Before Fitz had a chance to responded she had unbuckled his pants, and forced them down. She pulled his cock out of the opening of his boxers, and kissed the tip while massaging his balls.
Olivia showed her husband no mercy. She had given him blowjobs, but breaking in her new office with her new husband had her feeling sexier than ever.
Both stood up and finished undressing. Fitz sat back down, and Olivia climbed on top of him.
She kissed him, "I love you so much. There is nothing more important than being Olivia Grant your wife other than being a mom. I love being a crisis manager, and it was my world for a long time. I promise once you came into my life that changed."
She slid down on his cock before he had a chance to respond. Forehead to forehead she began to make love to her husband.
Fitz felt himself get choked up. Today was the culmination of his dream. Well most of it. He was happy with his career. He finally found his soul mate. They had Ella. The only thing that would make it better was more children, and they were working on it.
It was the way she spoke to him. The love that he felt. The way that she was moving on top of him.
He looked up at her as she continued to ride him, "Better enjoy this while you can. One day soon there will be a bump preventing us from enjoying this position."
Fitz smiled and picked her up and turned her around. He pulled her so they were flushed together before sliding back into her. "Then we will do it like this."
He slowly thrust in and out of her. He turned them so they were facing her full-length mirror. "Then we will make love like this. I will worship every inch of your body, and revel in the fact that we have made a baby out of love."
Olivia threw her head back. Enjoying the feel of her husband inside of her meeting him thrust for thrust. Tonight, felt like the night. They were both invested mind, body, and soul.
No screaming, minimal words, just their love speaking through their love making.
Fitz smiled at his wife. He knew it was going to happen soon. His gut didn't work like his wife, but he could feel it. They would be looking at a bump in a couple of months.
He was brought out of his thoughts by his wife, "Fitz, I'm about to cum. Cum with me baby…"
"You never have to beg Livvie…Let go sweet baby…I'm right here with you"
The couple entwined their hands together, and made love for a little while longer until neither could hold out any longer forcing each other to cum together.
The couple finally calmed down. They decided to take a shower at the office, and change into more comfortable clothes.
They decided to stop by her parent's house to see them and Ella before going home.
The couple greeted her parents. Maya fixed them a plate.
Fitz asked, "Pops, how are you enjoying retirement?"
Eli smiled, "I am especially because I have my children running the firm. We watched the press conference, and the analyst love you guys. I heard you are getting calls already."
Fitz smiled, "Well Pops when you raise a daughter as smart as yours only good things could happen."
Olivia leaned into her husband, "Give yourself some credit here mister. We talked about this."
"Yes ma'am…"
Maya & Eli were beyond happy. Eli had finally fully retired, and now the couple could make plans for their future. Their youngest daughter was happy in a relationship, and close to fulfilling her dream to become a doctor. The other was happily married to the love of her life. She now owned a firm that she built as well as her dad's firm. If Eli could have chosen the men for his daughter, he couldn't have asked for better suitors. He rested well at night knowing his wife and children were happy.
Maya & Eli watched them play with Ella. Although it was unfortunate that they lost their dear friends they couldn't have been prouder of their children for stepping up, and making sure that she not only had a home but she understood she had a place in their home. She wasn't their charity case. They enjoyed their granddaughter, and couldn't wait for more.
Fitz & Eli were in the family room playing with Ella. Olivia had gone to the bathroom. She headed to the kitchen to help her mom clean up.
Maya was so deep in thought that she didn't hear Olivia walk into the kitchen.
Olivia walked over and kissed her mom's cheek, and saw the tears. She was in shock.
"Mom, what is wrong?"
Maya looked at her daughter who was glowing. She knew that look. That look said she would be pregnant soon.
Maya said nothing. She simply caressed her daughter's face.
Finally, she said, "It feels like yesterday when I was scheduling visits with you. Only seeing you on Sunday and special occasions. It was hard, and what was even harder was to look you in the eyes and see how unhappy you were. It all changed with Fitz. I thought I was getting my daughter back, but I was wrong?"
Olivia was confused
"I got a better version of my daughter. A woman who is happy inside and out. A woman who was willing to take risks. A woman who could accept love. I felt like a failure for a long time. One, I should have said something early on in your relationship with Jake. I was just so afraid of fracturing our relationship. Two, I should have been a better mom. I should have protected you. Livia, I am so sorry. "
Olivia consoled her mom. Eli walked in the kitchen, and she shook her head. He knew that Maya had felt responsible in the past for Olivia being so unhappy. He thought she was past it, but from the looks of things seeing his daughter happy and in love stirred up some emotions. He knew that Olivia needed to be the one to help her for the last time. He winked at her, and walked out the room.
Once Maya calmed down she tried to apologize, but Olivia stopped her.
"Mom, first I should be apologizing to you. No matter how unhappy I was with my life or at times dad I should have never allowed it to affect our relationship. I could not have asked for better parents especially you mom. I am not the woman I am without you. You sacrificed a successful career to ensure we turned out to be productive women, and I think you have done a phenomenal job if I do say so myself. I won't lie, and say that it wasn't painful to be with Jake at times especially towards the end. I don't regret it for one moment, because it made me appreciate Fitz more than ever. I can appreciate the love he has for me and Ella. I never imagined that I would want to work with my husband, but it is because Fitz respects me. My eyes and heart are open because of you mom. You molded the woman I am, and with Fitz in my life I had the courage to make some minor tweaks. No more tears of sadness and pain."
Maya looked at her daughter and nodded, "You really have a beautiful soul."
"You had a hand in that…"
"You look so happy…"
"I am…"
"You have that look…"
"What look mom?"
"I think you are going to be pregnant soon. I keep having a dream."
"I hope you are right…"
They shared a few more minutes together before the men came into the kitchen. Eli was relieved to see the sadness gone from his wife's eyes, and whatever his daughter said fixed it.
Fitz smiled at his wife. He just loved the fact that he felt like he gained another set of parents when he married Olivia. He looked forward to being married to his wife 30/40 years down the line, and walking into the kitchen seeing his wife sharing a tender moment with their child.
The couple shared a group hug with Ella before heading home.
A couple of days passed. It was now the day of the interview. As Olivia finished getting ready she looked herself over in the mirror. She was not nervous. She was just ready to get it over with.
They had decided to do the interview at the office not wanting the crew in their private space. When they designed the office, there was a room set up specifically for interviews. It was personable.
Olivia stepped in the room where her husband was patiently waiting. He looked handsome in his custom Brooks Brother suit. She had decided on a black sequined long-sleeved crepe Pamella Roland jumpsuit.
Fitz walked over and greeted his wife, "You look stunning…"
"You don't look bad yourself."
"You ready to do this?"
