Lunch has wrapped up for everyone and Ella, James and Cyrus say their goodbyes. Before they leave Liv reminds them not to forget Ella's cookies. She heads off to the kitchen to place a few in a to-go container for them to enjoy later that evening. When Liv comes back with the cookies Ella runs into her arms and gives her a big hug. She thanks her and they leave. Teddy states I sure hope you left some for me. To which Liv replies "you know it." garnering a high five from Teddy as he heads to his room. He wanted to show Liv his finished science project before the fair on Wednesday. Liv had already made sure to clear her schedule so she could attend. Fitz stood by the door watching in awe.

"What?" she asked when noticing him staring at her.

"Nothing"

"Why are you looking at me like that" glancing at him.

"You are just so good with him and Ella. Sometimes I, I'm just; I don't know how to put it into words. You will make a great mom to our children one day."

Liv's breath caught. She has always had doubts about being a mother. She didn't know if she had the so called "mother gene". Fitz has never wavered on his confidence in them having children and her being a good mom.

Before she could respond Teddy walked back into the room and commanded both of their attention. He demonstrated how everything worked and was for sure he'd win a prize. Liv was glad to see he took her advice on a few things and reassured him she would be there. That brought out the million dollar signature Grant smile to his face. Crooked just like his father. Teddy Grant, future heart breaker, Liv thought to herself.

"OK, Theodore, I know you had some homework that needs to be turned in on Monday that you haven't finished."

"Dad" Teddy whined. He hated when his dad called him by his full name. Packing up his project he heads back to his room. There was no sense in arguing with his father especially when he was right.

As Teddy walked to his room, Liv moved to the coffee table picking up the documents she had spread out as her makeshift desk as she had attempted to get a little work done prior to helping Ella and Teddy make cookies. Placing the folder in her bag she stood getting ready to leave.

"I should be going as well."

"Not so fast." Fitz was to her in two strides. Leaning down so he's right next to her ear he his husky voice whispers "I believe we have some unfinished business."

"I have no idea what you are talking about. "

"I believe I gave you a reprieve from earlier with the promise we'd continue this later. It's later. Did you honestly think I'd forget? "

She is overwhelmed by the closeness and the intoxicating smell of his cologne. The warmth of his breath against her neck has her mildly panting. She can barely respond. Her mind and body are on sensory overload. She begins to shake her head no to his question.

"Good Girl." Taking her bag from her hand placing it on the couch, he tells her to wait here.

Fitz goes and checks on Teddy, telling him he'll be back in a little bit. If he needs anything Marta is in the guest quarters down the hall. He warned Teddy not to goof around and that he'd be back shortly. Finding Liv where he left her he grabs her hand and leads her out of the residence.

"Where are we going?"

Fitz grabs her hand, but doesn't answer. His walking pace is strong and commanding. He forgets Liv is much shorter and struggling to keep up with him. They stop at a small closet.

"Wait here." Fitz looks her dead in the eyes. Sending shivers down her spine.

Damn he looks sexy. Crossing her legs to dull the ache between her legs she stands to the side of the hallway waiting for Fitz to return. When he does she sees hiking boots. Giving him a confused look.

"Sit"

"Why?"

"Just do this for me. Please Olivia" he sighs.

There it is. The use of the full name and I back down just like Teddy. Authoritative Fitz is intimidating and sexy as hell. I want to pick my battles and this one isn't one I'm willing to start.

Sitting down on the bench in the hallway, I watch as Fitz kneels in front of me. Raising my right leg he removes my shoe and places a shoe on my foot. I watch as he laces it tightly. I'm giving him the eyes that let him know I find him sexy as hell right now and he arches an eyebrow as a smirk crosses his face.

"You know if I had known we were going hiking I would have dressed a little better."

"Liv, honestly do you think this was planned?"

Chuckling at the urgency with which he puts on his shoes she just waits.

"We don't have much time. I just want to spend a little alone time with you. I don't know what your week will be like and I just, I just need my Livvie fix."

Fitz cheeks turn red at his confession.

Rising from the bench he grabs her shoes and his placing them in the closet. He lets Tom know where they are headed and that Teddy is in the residence. Since they are on the property only one agent needs to be on watch and he will remain in the vicinity, but not too close to allow for privacy. It is decided Hal will stay at the residence with Teddy and Tom will arrive at their destination in about 15 minutes. This gives them time to get where they are going under the guise of being alone. Fitz knows that the SS detail takes some getting used to and he didn't want Liv to have any hesitation right now.

Reaching for Liv's hand Fitz pulls her to a standing position. They head out the door. When they step into the rose garden Liv pulls Fitz to a halt.

All those words I said to you so long ago still ring true.

"Fitz, I wait for you. I watch for you. My whole life is you. You own me. You control me. I belong to you."

Reaching out to lift up her chin he sees her eyes water.

"Liv, this time it's different. I'm available. I still feel the same about you. You own me. You control me. I plan to be a better man. I'm dedicating my life to you. I'm honorable. I'm the man you voted for. I love you. I've been in love with you since day one. You are the love of my life. My ever feeling is controlled by the look on your face. I can't breathe without you. I can't sleep without you. I wait for you. I watch for you. I exist for you. This time I'm not asking to escape all of this and run away. Instead I'm asking for you to join me on this journey through the end of my presidency. I belong to you. We are in this together."

Reaching up her fingertips caress his cheek. Leaning down Fitz presses a feather light kiss to her lips. He wants her, no needs her, but not here. Taking her hand interlacing their fingers he guides them through the rose garden. They are now walking at a normal pace and it's not hard for Liv to keep up. Looking ahead she sees the orchards up ahead. Giving Fitz a questioning look.

"Come." Is all he responds with.

"Do I have a choice?"

Pausing. "There are always choices. I don't want you to ever feel like you don't have a choice."

"I know I do and I choose you. I choose us. Right now I choose to hurry up and get to wherever we are going so I can have my way with you." Smacking his butt playfully.

The minute they step into the orchard clearing Fitz picks her up fireman style and picks up his pace. Liv squeals playfully then her hands slip in the back of his jean pockets. She'll never get over how sexy this man is. His body is a work of art. Giving his cheek a nice squeeze results in Fitz giving her behind a nice smack.

"Owe, what was that for?"

"Maybe someone should learn not to dish if they can't take it."

Noticing Fitz pace come to a slow she wonders where they are. When he sets her down she sees a small cabin she never knew was on the property. It looks like it could at one time been used as quest quarters for a worker of the WH property.

"I've had this place renovated since Teddy and I found it one day. We used it a few times for camping. It was nice to have it as a little get away to give him some normalcy without leaving the WH. I had the staff change out the linens a few days ago."

"So you've been planning this. Here I thought we were being spontaneous." Said with a little sass in her voice.

"Technically I had no idea when the opportunity would present itself. Let's just say I like to be prepared. Let me show you around."

With hands intertwined they walk around the small three room cabin. IT has an open living room/kitchen combo. It's small, but roomy. There are large windows that really let you enjoy being surrounded by threes. They walk into one bedroom and it has a queen size bed. I'm assuming this is where Teddy slept. It reminds me of him. Plus, a few things are there that I know are his. Looking up you can see two large skylights that definitely give the feeling of sleeping under the stars at night. I bet he really loved that. Wrapping his arms around her waist, Fitz whispers in her ear "are you ready for the rest of the tour?"

"You mean we haven't seen it all?"

"You haven't seen anything yet" kissing the side of her neck he begins to walk her to the room on the other side of the living room. Reaching around Liv, he opens the door and walks them into the bedroom. Its masculine yet has cream colors. Earthy, tones are the décor and it's truly breathtaking. Releasing his hand, she walks to the center of the room and spins around taking it all in. From the white washed wood that lined the bed, to the two walls of windows it was spectacular.

"Fitz"

"Yes, Livvie. Do you like it?"

"It's beautiful."

"It was lacking something I couldn't quite put my hand on. Now I know what that is."

"What could possibly be missing? This room is perfect."

"You, it has been missing that last final element and now that I've seen you in here it now feels complete."

Turning to give him a smile she realizes he is walking towards her. She starts to walk backwards and he's stalking her.

"Fitz? There are no window coverings."

"I know."

"What if someone comes looking for us?"

"No one will come looking for us. We are all alone."

"What about SS?"

"Tom knows where we are. We are not to be disturbed unless it's an emergency."

"But…" before she can finish his lips are crashing onto hers in a way she has never felt. Forceful, yet tender and filled with love. His hands have hers raised above her head and he's removing her shirt. Next thing she feels are his lips kissing the hollow of her throat. Licking along her collar bone. Biting her lips as she tries to stifle her moans. Raising his head he tells her. "I want to hear you. I want to know how good it feels. Don't hide from me Livvie. Let me know how I make you feel." kissing down her cleavage along her stomach. Liv stomach muscles contract. She looks down at him as he stays at her stomach for a minute.

Looking up at his Livvie he whispers "One day. One day this will be home to our child recreated from the love we share."

Liv runs her fingers through his head, caressing his scalp as he kisses her stomach ever so tenderly. Soon he's making love to her belly button with his ton making her knees go week at how sensual it is. He makes quick work of her pants and they pool around her feet. Her breathing is labored as she feels him trace his nose along the front of her lace covered panties. This man has always had a way of making her come unraveled. Her whole body is trembling and she finally utters the words she knows he has been waiting on.

"Fitz, I need you. Make love to me."

With that he is standing before her looking down at her as she runs her hands under his shirt caressing his muscles with her fingertips. Her touch has the same effect on him. He sucks in a deep breath as she traces his happy trail. Lifting his shirt up exposing more and more of his skin she admires his luscious abs. Kissing along his chest, she nips at his nipple causing him to groan. She then licks it to ease any discomfort she may have caused. Before she knows it he is gripping her hair pulling her head back to give her a searing kiss. Biting his lower lip playfully she pulls away nipping it. Quickly he has her turned around to him and pulls her back into his chest. Getting close to her ear he whispers how he wants to take her right there pointing to that bed.

Walking towards the bed she looks over her shoulder and beckons him over. Before she can climb on the bed he is to her in three long strides.

"I didn't tell you how I want to take you. How do you want me to take you Livvie?"

Reaching his hand around her front, he dips a finger into her wetness. She whimpers.

"That is not an answer. Tell me how you want it. NOW" he commands.

"From behind." Was all she could get out before Fitz was tossing her onto the bed. Before she realized it, he pulled her panties off and was on top of her. She was face down on the mattress as he kissed her shoulder and biting it softly. She might have a mark tomorrow, but she wouldn't regret it for a moment. As he unclasped her bra, he slipped a hand around her stomach raising her body to remove it. Laying her down once again he licked down her spine biting softly right above her butt causing her to arch her back and raise her butt. His hands begin to knead her mounds. All Olivia could do was burry her face in a pillow to keep her moans quiet.

She didn't know when he did it, but somehow Fitz had removed his pants and was entering her slowly. His fingers were intertwined with hers resting beside her head. The full weight of his body on top of hers felt delicious. As he rocked his hips into her thrusting deeper and deeper. His chest hairs tickled her back and made her tingle. He moaned her name against her ear, telling her how much he loved her and how she was made for him. He confessed his undying love for her as her muscles constricted deep inside. He could tell she was coming undone right beneath him and he loved he was the one making her. Pressing her palms flat on the sheets while his covered hers he raised the upper half of his body off of hers and begin to stroke faster. The new angle caused the right amount of friction and the new depth took Liv over the edge. She stopped biting the pillow and screamed out Fitz name along with a few expletives. The tightness of her walls caused Fitz to go over the edge with him. Fitz let out a guttural groan of her name as his body shook. They both were panting hard. He felt like his heart was going to beat out of his chest. Never had either of them been this responsive. As he collapsed on top of her he didn't want to crush her and began to move. Reaching a hand behind her she stilled his movement. She wasn't ready for their closeness to end. He kissed her neck softly.

"Baby I don't want to crush you."

"You aren't. Stay."

Fitz laid his head next to hers feeling. His hand caressing her side while his heart beat began to slow to a normal beat.

"Fitz"

"Yes baby."

"That was amazing."

He smiled against her skin. He turned them onto their sides and now spooned her.

"I love you Livvie.

"I know, and I love you Fitz."

For the next thirty minutes they laid there looking out at the orchard with their hands and hearts connected thinking and talking of their future together. Both knew there was no going back. They were in this together.

Just as Fitz yawned his phone started buzzing. Grabbing his phone out of his pocket he sees it's the residence calling.

"Hello"

"Dad, is Liv with you? She left her purse. Marta wants to know what we want for dinner. Is Liv staying for dinner?"

"Yes Teddy, Liv is with me. I don't know if she is staying for dinner. Just tell them to make enough just in case. How about we have Italian tonight?

"OK, Bye Dad."

Hanging up the phone, "I think Teddy loves you more than he loves me."

"Don't be jealous.

Fitz launches a tickle assault on her body. They decide to shower and head back to the WH for an early dinner.
