Chapter 14

I try, if possible, to pm each reviewer after each update. I do appreciate every comment

I usually don't include reviewer's names here because there is always the certainty that I will leave someone out or misspell a name but here goes nothing.. AND spell check will modify the names no matter what is entered. I've notices spellcheck tends to change pronouns, not sure why but its happening so please reads through the errors in gramma they are not always mine.

RBGzMom thanks for keeping me on my toes. The prenup and Liv's writing will not be covered until the ending chapter; sister 1256 Victoria was a needed spoiler but, thankfully, she lasted only 2 chapters; Aunt dee94, noro. Tamarral, Marie 726 and everyone I have not listed thanks for your reviews. My absolute appreciation to those who have been around since the first chapter, thanks for your support

This chapter will set up the Feb 14 wedding and the concluding 6 chapters of this 20 chapters story. It will include a lot of pillow talk about their future, their children, another mention about a prenup and of course a discussion about CB.

The morning after the night before

Olivia sleeps alone. She sleeps alone on her stomach with a pillow tucked under her right arm. This is the way she always slept. and woke up, as long as she could remember.

This morning she was on her stomach but there was no pillow. Matter of fact, she wasn't laying on the bed she was laying on someone and as she tried to move her body she discovered she was wrapped almost in a cocoon. Her head was on someone's chest, and she could feel someone stroking her back in a circular motion. As she turned her head to get her bearings she heard a voice say, "lay still I want to make this morning last as long as possible."

Still trying to get her bearings she turned her head again, she was not in her bedroom. She picked her head up, but she could not move her body. All the covers had been tucked around both her and someone , she hoped Fitz, so neither could move until the covers were moved.

"'That was some night,"

Whew…... it is Fitz… she recognized his voice as the voice continued…." I won't ever forget last night."

She knew she would never, should never wake up in a strange man's bed but in life the strangest things happen. She was just very happy it did not happen to her, last night. Olivia remembered going to the company's Christmas party and her dance with him. Her head was now clearing and this scene was making sense.

"Fitz why are we wrapped up like this?"

"Because I wanted to keep you close to me, you kept rolling away, so I did what I had to do, I tucked you in by laying you on top of me and wrapping us together, do you mind?"

Hell,,,,,, how much wine did I drink that I don't remember being swaddled like a baby.

"nope I like it, it's the perfect way to wake the day after a memorable night, the entire night was absolutely perfect. I must call your mother and thank her."

"A thank you in the form of a Feb. 14 wedding announcement would be a great way to say thanks."

"Fitz why are we hurrying?"

"We are not hurrying we have been in love with each other for a year. If either of us had one ounce of sense, we would have married six months ago. By now you would be well on your way to producing another Grant heir."

"Would you marry me just to produce Fitzgerald Thomas Grant IV.?"

"Well, yes…... I'll throw in the fact that I love you …. will that make being the mother off the next Fitzgerald Grant easier?"

"Ok, that will work…I need to call Abby, she is going to bite my head off..."

"Abby, my parents and everyone else can wait until later, right now is ours. Nothing from the outside gets in and nothing from the inside gets out, for a while at least."

"What do we eat?"

"I have boxes of popcorn isn't that your favorite food?"

"Not for breakfast."

"'Is that a hint to see if we can figure out how to turn on the stove and make a breakfast we can eat."

"I don't want to move, it's so comfortable here."

"I don't want you to move, lets lay here until as long as possible, ok."

"ok. I'm in.

Olivia was able to free one arm and started to caress Fitz's chest, he returned to making ovals on her back, then both went back to sleep.

Their serenity was broken by both their phones ringing. Fitz reached over to the table with his free arm and picked up both phones. His caller ID said it was his chef, hers said Irma Grant. Both decided these were calls they had to take.

Unwrapping themselves they answered the phones.

The Fitz phone….. His chef …..." Fitz …..Tom and I are 30 minutes out with a food delivery, I'll call back when we are five minutes out... I have prepared a couple of dishes that only need to be popped into the oven... I'll come into the house just long enough to put the food up and make some breakfast crepes which would keep for a while if you decide not to eat immediately.

Fitz agreed and thanked him. "Who called and asked you to do this?"

"Lauren, she called last night…. she told me Tom would pick me up at ten and I should have everything ready by then. I'll see you shortly."

The Olivia Phone…." Mrs. Grant… good morning"

"It's still Irma… it's a good morning if you are with my son, is it a good morning?"

"It's a very good morning, do you want to say hi."

"of course not, it would embarrass him, talking to his mom in bed with a naked woman he loves and who loves him. I'm off I just wanted to check to make sure you guys were together, at last. Let's plan dinner Sunday night we need to have that talk we never had because of my husband."

"That sounds great, Sunday dinner, how about five. It will give us time to talk before and after dinner."

Olivia turned back to Fitz and wrapped her arms around his chest.

'" That was your mom Fitz…... dinner tomorrow afternoon at 5pm."

"She hung up without saying anything to me."

"Her words… I don't want to embarrass my son by talking to him while he is in bed naked with a woman."

"It would not embarrass me; how does she think she is going to get more grandchildren."

"I'm not sure if a grandchild was on her mind when she made the comment."

"Tom and Marc are on the way with breakfast and dinner. I'll go down and get it you stay here."

"I thought we were going to make breakfast?"

"Let's not end this relationship before it has a chance. I am sure a breakfast made by the two of us is not the best way for our new life together to begin."

"Ok, a quick shower… together, then you can go down and wait for the goodies to arrive."

The two headed to the shower together but it was not quick. Their quick shower was interrupted by the phone telling them the food was nearly at the door. Fitz dried himself and Olivia off , put on a pair of sweats and a tee shirt leaving Liv to dry her hair...

True to what he said Marc had prepared a couple of dishes which could serve as a lunch or dinner meal. He brought along fresh rolls , salads and fruit bowls. The breakfast crepes with poached eggs and crisp bacon were quickly prepared then plated and placed on a serving tray leaving the rest to Fitz. Marc told Fitz he would leave him a list of possible meals for next week he should call if there was a change. Nope no change Fitz told him just prepare enough for two.

When Fitz returned to the bedroom he discovered Olivia had put on fresh linen and was in bed completely naked. She took one look at Fitz carrying a tray loaded with food and shook her head.

"seems you are overdressed Mr. Grant"

"Don't worry Ms. Pope that will only take a minute to correct."

He sat the tray on the bed and stripped before climbing in with her.

"all of a sudden I don't have an appetite, Ms. Pope. Well I have an appetite but not for food."

"if you expect to have the energy for what you have an appetite for I think you better eat something."

"I will eat, but not food."

"you will eat food, right now, plus I am hungry."

"you hungry, the woman who lives on popcorn?"

"I haven't eaten since yesterday morning."

"you have not eaten in a day, why?"

"no appetite, I have not had much of an appetite in two months but now I feel like I could eat everything on the tray."

"so, what was bothering you that you could not eat? Fitz said as he started to feed her some of the crepes.

Olivia gasped when she tasted them then indicated to Fitz she wanted more. Olivia looked for a second set of eating utensils.

"Fitz, you did not bring me anything to eat with.'"

"That's because we only need one set, I'm going to feed you. I have been dreaming of this morning for two months. My dream…. sitting in this bed, with you, no clothes on and feeding you breakfast. I could admire your body lean over whenever I wanted to kiss your nipples. Don't you dare tread on my dream …...eat. Fitz continued to feed her, stopping periodically to lean over and suck her nipples. Each time he did that she would gasp.

"what's wrong…. Ms. Pope the I am great at everything woman…. can't chew and have her breast sucked at the same time?"

Olivia gave Fitz a look of ,… ok bud the challenge is on, and took the fork from his hand and moved the tray off to the side. She forked a piece of crepe and put it in his mouth at the same time her other hand reached out and started to massage his partially erect cock. Fitz swallowed hard.

"what was that you just said Mr. Grant about swallowing and being fondled at the same time."

Olivia continue to feed Fitz, each time massaging him until he was fully erect, he kept swallowing harder and harder. Finally Olivia used her hand to give him a piece of bacon and leaned over as if to reach for the eggs but instead leaned forward and put her head in his lap and latched on to his cock with her mouth. Fitz started to cough as he swallowed hard…. trying not to choke.

"Mr. Pope you win"

Olivia moved the tray completely away to make room as she moved off the bed and kneeled on the floor pulling his lower body towards her.. Just before she returned to orally pleasing him she took a look up at him and said.

"Mr. Grant don't you think it's a bit irrational for you to call the woman who is about to bring you to an orgasm using her mouth Ms. Pope. I am going to keep doing this until you stop calling me Ms. Pope and start calling me Oliva as she took as much of his cock into her mouth as she could and started massing his balls. Fitz laid back on the bed moaning and breathing hard. A short time later all she could hear was Olivia being whispered between his moans...

When they woke up it was dark again. After they both had their "breakfast" they both enjoyed hours of intense love making Each time they thought they finished both discovered they wanted more and then decided more is always good.

The breakfast tray was on the floor with a mess of crepes, eggs and bacon. The cold beverages were on the bedside table and Fitz's head rested on Olivia's chest. Olivia woke up first and began running her fingers through his hair which woke Fitz up.

"Olivia, that was ….that was"'

"that was what Fitz?"

"shush, I'm looking for the words to describe last night and today."

"why are you trying to describe it, we just worked off a year's worth of lust."

"maybe six months, not a year, I still have some left and we have the rest of tonight and tomorrow until about three. Are you hungry."

"nope, …you."

"nope, there is a casserole a salad and some fruit whenever we are ready. What time is dinner with my folks again …..., your soon to be in-laws?"

"Five, I thought we should leave about three in case…. no way do I want to be late we already have enough explaining to do."

"I am sure my mom has already taken care of that…... all we need to talk about is how we go forward."

"and how do we Fitz, how will we handle this , the two of us working so closely together."

"Liv. I really don't know," Fitz pulled Olivia closer to him. "Any suggestions?"

"First we continue to keep it professional. I am not usually in any meeting with you unless it's to explain or go over any changes so that's not a problem. As someone said I am "the hand" the silent hand. We have been referring to each other as Mr. Grant and Ms. Pope for almost a year we are used to it, no need to change.."

" but….. when we get married?"

"why are you looking for trouble …. Olivia, we continue as we have before… we will have the same positions in the company."

"Fitz, where are we going to stay?"

"now or after we are married , your choice."

"Your place is bigger and you have a chef, let's stay at your place most nights. We can come here every Friday and return to the city on Sunday afternoon. I'll start packing my place but keep the lease until it ends, that will give us time to see how coming here works. Since it's winter, see how it works in winter. We probably better plan to say at my place or yours some weekends."

"and when you get pregnant?"

"pregnant, we aren't even married."

"when you get pregnant?"

"Ok, If I get pregnant during the summer traveling every weekend will be easy, if it happens during the winter I think we better stay in the city because of the weather."

"Ok,…..how many children and how soon."

"Fitz, …I don't have all the answers, you suggest the time and number of children I will see if I agree."

"'Olivia,…. of course I want a son, but if we have all daughters we know we will still have a Grant CEO. No way could the two of us not produce one daughter who could take that spot."

"How many children?"

"You have two brothers I have one sister, let's say three."

"'Three it is Fitz…..when do we start?"

"I would love to start now but let's give ourselves a year being newlyweds and enjoying each other I have heard babies have a no return policy"

With that comment Olivia pinched his ear.

"Ok, sorry. …. Lets plan for a spring summer pregnancy. That way it will be less wear on you traveling between houses and the job. Do you plan to continue working?"

"Do I plan to continue working, wasn't that the reason for this whole kerfuffle ?"

"Alright, … Valentine wedding, we can plan on starting a family about this time next year and we will commute between houses to see how it works out. Anything else?"

"You do know, babies tend to popup ….they tend to make their own plans."

"That's fine, if there is a winter pregnancy we stay in the penthouse."

"We have this baby … what's the name?"

"IV for a boy and a girl, since both our mother's names have already been taken we may have to think on that one. Is that all."

"The prenup"

"Easy. No need neither of us are going anywhere."

"Nothing is certain Fitz, keep it simple …. I suggest everything we bring into the marriage is ours. No spousal support but of course the applicable child support."

"Olivia are you hiding your mega millions lottery winnings?"

"Nope, no mega millions lottery winnings. I just don't want you to ever believe I married you for your money. If that ever comes up, we both know that's a lie."

Olivia was afraid that if she listed her assets Fitz would question the source. If she did not list her income from the books she would start the marriage off with a lie. By just saying what was ours before is still ours, with no need to list the amount will work,…. maybe. She knows one day she will tell Fitz but right now it would only create another layer of problems...

"No, prenup but I will make a will that will make sure you are taken care of."

"same here"

"We have settled most of our immediate problems, lets pop that casserole in the oven.

The two headed for the kitchen by way of the shower which delayed their arrival by thirty minutes.

"That was fun and easy, we have covered some questions my parents will ask, lets visit your parents next week-end and tell them.

The two heated the casserole after figuring out how to set the timer so they could plan the salad and fruit course around dinner. They were both in a perfect place, problems ahead but problems they would solve together. Dinner was finished the dishwasher loaded and they went back to bed.

The next morning the two managed to make scrambled eggs after their attempts at over easy and poached failed. They settled for the remainder of the crepes and no meat after they could not decide the best way to cook the bacon after burning the first two batches while they were busy having sex on the counter. Olivia discovered the counter was the perfect height. Fitz thought he would delay telling Olivia for a while, he ordered the counter that height...

Fitz called Tom earlier to tell him to pick them up at three, they headed for the city and the talk with his parents.

The two were welcomed in by his mother who gave them a long look.

"I'm glad you two covered the hickeys I know they are there, no need to advertise."

They all settled in the living room and Fitz started

"Mom, dad, I fell in love with Olivia the first time I saw her. I knew it wasn't wise, so I kept my feelings hidden. It wasn't until we went to California and you started to talk to Olivia about a family I decide to tell her how I felt, I never knew she felt the same way. We decided to tell you the same time morning you introduced Olivia to Edison. Things moved so fast after that we did not have time to tell you."

"We knew because how it would affect the company we had to tell you two first. I tried to talk to Olivia before she declared she was willing to sacrifice her personal life for the company. After that I just planned for a future with her no matter how long it took. Mom, finally pushed the cart over at the Christmas party."

"I'm sorry guys, Gerry Grant said as he got up and hugged Olivia first and then Fitz, I did not know. I hoped you would be attracted to each other but after eight months and you two were still acting like indifferent co-worker, so I left it alone. I wanted Olivia to be happy, and married that's why I introduced her to Edison. I thought he was a good match because of his position in his company. I realized how wrong I was when Olivia spoke of lover over appearances, she was not willing to settle for anything, true love or nothing. I just never wanted her to grow old alone with only the company balance sheets for company. Now I know she is in good hands, congratulations guys."

Olivia, do you have anything to add" Gerry Grant asked her.

"Nothing else. We discussed a Valentine wedding and children."

"where will you stay Fitz?"

"I bought a house about an hour's drive way …. we will spend weekends there. We will wait a year, if mother nature agrees, for our first child. Then depending on the pregnancy that will dictate where we will stay. We may need a larger apartment here full time... We don't want Liv on the road pregnant during winter months or an hour away when the baby is young... We are thinking three children, three boys would be nice but if we have three girls, we have three girls."

"You bought a house and never said anything?"

"dad I said I never gave up on Olivia, on us, so I bought house for us"

"Irma anything to add?"

"Add…. if not for me we would not be having this conversation. You two are the worse ever. Olivia putting this company before your happiness, fiddlesticks. You bend your business life around your personal life not vice versa. Com on let's have dinner we can continue this very interesting conversation discussing the wedding and my future grandchildren..."

The four went to the dinner table where the conversation continued... Fitz and Olivia said they would keep as much of their personal life out of the office as possible and continue to address each other as before. Fitz told his parents there would be a simple prenup with each keeping everything they brought into the marriage and a 50/50 split of everything earned while married. There will be an insurance policy for her and the children.

"Olivia, you are not asking for any kind of support if the marriage breaks up?" Irma asked

'Mrs. Grant…sorry Irma I don't intend for the marriage to break up. If that happens I will support myself the same way as before the marriage, with my income. I am not marrying Fitz for his money … we are marrying because we love each other, we have loved each other for a long time... I have been well paid since I started working at Grant I'm ok financially."

"I told her she is hiding her mega lottery winnings from me."

"'Nope no mega lottery winnings, Fitz"

Irma was listening closely to the conversation about money, she was positive Oliver was hiding something, nothing that could hurt Fitz of the company, but she was hiding something she did not want Fitz to know and it was about money, her money.

Dinner ended, and the couple had to decide where to spend the night her apartment or his penthouse.

"Fitz…We both need clothes for tomorrow so why not stay the night at our own apartments. That will make it easier to get to work on time tomorrow and to not look like we have been up all night."

"Are you leaving me already…may I suggest …. just for tonight we will stop by your place. You can pack some clothes and we will leave from my place, only because it's closer to the office. If we stayed with you I would have to leave early enough to go home to shave and change or go into the office looking like I have not been home. We don't need any unnecessary gossip. . We can spend the week moving clothes around. It may be easier just to buy you a new wardrobe for the penthouse, I'll call the personal shopper tomorrow. Since my place is closer to the office its easier getting to work and it's easier on Tom.

Olivia was willing to accept his suggestion. She needed the time to make sure all her notebooks, folders and anything CB was locked securely out of the way. She would give Huck the job of putting everything on hard drives, rent another safety deposit box to store he notebook. Huck would remove the existing hard drive from her computer before he destroyed it. This would take about a week…, she hoped she could keep Fitz out of her apartment for that long but at some point, he would spend the some nights there...

They returned to his apartment after a quick stop at Olivia's. It took her under fifteen minutes at her place since she always had a bag packed with essentials for her frequent out of town trips. It really took her about five, but she did not want it to seem she was rushing. She distracted Fitz by giving him the job of thinking about wedding locations while he waited.

At the apartment they showered and after some incredible shower sex then they were snuggled in bed.

Olivia laid with her head on his chest thinking, we both have what we want. Then into this perfect scene Fitz uttered.

"Now we can start looking for CB together, I know with both of us, and my mom, looking we will find out who she is.

Dammmmmm, the great white strikes again.

That's it, for the year, maybe. A Christmas story is a possibility if I can find a theme that fits the story...

I hope there was enough there there to make you come back in about eight weeks. Just in time to plan the Valentine wedding.

As I mentioned, this story will end in 20 chapters. I hope to make the next six worth your time reading.

Enjoy your holidays, stay safe.,
