Really short update before the last chapter, which I promise will be good and longer. Thank you all for the tweets, PMs, and reviews. It really makes my day. X

Leo let the envelope fall on top of the president's desk. Mellie looked up from the science magazine she was reading when she heard a thump.

"Leo! I didn't even hear you come in. How are you?" She flashed him a big smile.

He smiled back. "I didn't want to disturb, just came to drop this off for the President. It's my resignation letter."

Mellie put the magazine down & walked over to him. "Don't do that. You're amazing at what you do. Don't let personal issues get in the way of your greatness." She spoke from experience.

"I will admit that I am partially doing this for you. But, I don't feel at home here. I've been offered a great job opportunity in England and I said yes. Granted, it won't be as fancy as this job but I'm sure I'll love it."

"Are you sure about this? I can talk to Fitz, you don't have to do this."

"Mellie, I'm positive." He gave her a hug. "I'll keep in touch."

Fitz walked in. "Sorry to interrupt."

Leo let go of Mellie. They stood there awkwardly. "I just came to hand you my resignation letter." Leo walked over to the door. "Take care Mellie." He turned to Fitz. "Take care of her Fitz."

He was stunned. "Of course I'll take care of her. She's my wife." He said defensively.

Leo looked over to Mellie & said yet another silent goodbye and shut the door.

"Wow." Fitz spoke.

"Yeah." She spoke in a hushed voice.

"It's all for the best." She gathered the magazine and walked to the door.

"Hopefully."

3 months later

Cyrus rushed after Fitz. "This is honestly the greatest idea you've had in a while. The public will love this." He hadn't been this thrilled with the first couple in a while.

"I'm not doing this for the public. I'm doing it for us. Plus, Mellie hasn't said yes so don't start a parade yet."

"She'll say yes! I know Mellie, she would do anything for you."

Fitz was nervous. "What if she doesn't?"

"She's your wife, of course she'll say yes. Now go and ask."

"Okay here I go. Wish me luck." He fixed his tie and headed to find Mellie.

Cyrus spoke to himself. "You would think he was still in high school." He shook his head.

Fitz found Mellie in her office looking over some paperwork. "Hey there."

Mellie looked up and was glad to see a smiling Fitz. She got up and wrapped her hand around his waist. She planted a gentle kiss to his lips. "Hey yourself."

He pulled her in for a hug. "Ugh. I've missed you."

"You see me everyday." She laughed.

"That doesn't matter, I still miss you." He hugged her for a while and spoke. "I have something to ask you."

She looked up at him, but he kept her close. 'I want you to stay here, in my embrace. Heart to heart."

"Okay." She hugged him tighter.

"I was wondering if you would do me the honor of marrying me."

"Fitz, we're already married." She exclaimed, confused.

"Yes, I'm well aware but I haven't lived up to my vows and I want us to start again. Fresh."

She stayed silent for a while.

"Not the response I was looking for…"

"No, no. I…I haven't lived up to my end too. This means so much to me." She held kept holding him closer. "Fitzgerald Grant the III, yes I will marry you…again."

He smiled and lifted her up and kissed her over and over.

"Fitz!" She held on tight.

"This is like when we first met except, this time I know you a lot better, and we've made all the stupid mistakes that we can possibly make in a marriage. Seriously, we could teach a class." He laughed. "I'm excited for us." He put her down, but maintained his embrace on her.

"I love you." It was unhinged and full of everything she was feeling. "For a while I didn't know what I felt for you anymore and I must admit that I lost myself. I'm so happy that I can finally say these words without feeling overwhelmed and worried about your response. I love you Fitz." She buried her head in his shoulders.

He kissed the top of her head, slightly taking in the scent of her hair. "I love you too Mels." It was natural, no hesitation, no thinking.

AN: But can we talk about Drellie/Andrellie/Mew? Too cute. My feels are literally everywhere. Couldn't be happier with these past episodes, & I couldn't be happier with my decision to join the Scandal fandom. Y'all have been so amazing. No matter whom we ship or which characters we dislike/love, you guys are incredibly civil and in general a lovely bunch of people. Thank you for a great experience
