"Explain yourself," Fitz demanded. It was a touchy subject for Fitz when it came to who decided things for Olivia, especially in the event of her living will.
"Get Dr. Shelep back in here so I can go home."
"You aren't going anywhere unless it's home with me," Fitz said as he bent down to kiss her. She turned her head away and he kissed her cheek instead. "I need to know that you are going to be okay and how you are progressing."
"That's what a phone is for."
Fitz was getting pretty tired of this game with her. They were both stubborn but one of them would have to give in eventually. So he decided to compromise. "What do you want?"
"Home to my apartment."
"What do I have to do to get you to come home with me?"
"You make it sound like a pick up line. I'm not going home with you. You have too many things to do and hovering over me is not one of them. I need to be home at my apartment where I can feel in my own environment."
"You will either come back to the White House with me or I will resign right this minute and go home with you. Take your pick."
"You can't resign. You seem to know what we did to put you in that house. Why would you waste it on me?"
"Because I love you and I want to marry you and part of being married to you means taking care of you. And now, you need my care more than anything else. Quit trying to fight me on this, you will lose."
"We aren't married! This is not Vermont, there are no children, you aren't the mayor and I don't make jam. This isn't the dream that we wanted before you let me go. I don't know why you still care though. I get that you divorced Mellie but you needed to do that for you. Our whole lives don't always revolve around each other."
"Dammit, Olivia, I said no!" He yelled at her. "You aren't going anywhere unless it's home with me. That's final."
Dr. Shelep stood with James and Cyrus in the waiting room and could hear Fitz yelling. Fitz came out to them.
"That was a lot of yelling, Fitz. You better not have upset her," Cyrus said.
"She'll be fine. She wants to sign the discharge papers now. She is coming home with me," Fitz ordered.
"Mr. President," Dr. Shelep started. "I just wanted to inform you that if Ms. Pope isn't where she wants to be or if she doesn't feel safe somewhere, the likelihood of her getting better even with the therapy will decrease drastically. Ms. Pope needs to be somewhere that she wants to be."
"And she wants to be at the White House with me. Now make it happen."
