The Thursday before Spring Break started out like any other morning. Fitz and Olivia woke up together in each other's arms after their alarm clock went off. They took separate showers because Liv knew that Fitz would be late for his morning meeting if they took one together even though she really wanted to. If she were honest, her hormones have made her constantly horny for him. She usually attacks him as soon as he walks in the door after work. Sometimes they make it to the bed or couch but yesterday, they went at it right on the floor by the door.

Fitz showered first while Liv ironed his dress shirt and made him coffee. She grabbed a banana while in the kitchen for her breakfast. It was amazing how easily they fell into a routine. She liked taking care of him. It gave her a sense of pride that he would ask which tie to wear to work each day. She would make sure his dress shirt and slacks were neatly pressed.

He got dressed while she was in the shower. He sweeten his coffee to his liking while getting things set up to take her pressure. When she got out of the shower, she dressed only pausing to let him take her pressure. He wrote the results down while she put on her finishing touches. He sat her water and medicines by her makeup on vanity dresser. They were a well-oiled machine.

Fitz left first because he had the farthest to go this week. He was working on a project in the Bronx and he had to a walk a few extra blocks to get to the right subway station. He gave her a kiss before she put on her lipstick. They exchanged I love yous and he was gone.

That part of the day was normal. The day took a turn for the worse during Liv's third period class. She usually works with individual group vocal ranges. First period was solos only, Second period was sopranos, third was tenors and bass, fourth was altos, fifth was her lunch period, and sixth & seventh was full choir. She was going over the tenors and bass parts with a room full of boys. She felt like they were still lacking during the three part harmony. During these individual practices, she played the piano because her musicians only came during sixth and seventh period practice.

During the middle of third period, she began to feel a little warm and uncoordinated. Her students started noticing that the music was dragging a little. She tried to shake off the uneasy feelings but they just wouldn't go away.

Her students stopped singing when they noticed that she kept blinking trying to focus on the sheet music. Two boys came by her. Corey looked in her face, "Ms. Pope, you don't look so good. Are you okay?"

She stopped playing and shook her head no, "Corey please go and get Mrs. Butler or Principal Beene. I think I need help."

Corey ran as fast as he could. Trent grabbed her elbow, "Ms. Pope, Do you need us to do something?"

Her stomach became queasy, "Trent, I am going to be sick."

She stood up too quickly and immediately felt lightheaded. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head as she blacked out. Trent was able to catch her as she fell backwards. He got to screaming, "Somebody get help!"

Liv was out cold. Mrs. Butler ran into the room as Trent was laying her on the floor. She ran to her and checked her pulse. She tried to wake her, "Ms. Pope! Ms. Pope! Olivia, can you hear me?"

There was no response. Principal Beene came in the door out of breath from running. Mrs. Butler looked at him, "Call 911!"

Fitz was working underground today. He was checking support beams and the foundation of a building they were scheduled to demolish in two weeks. He had a crew of three including him making marks where the dynamite would be placed. He had to make sure that the building would collapse without affecting the building next to it.

The one drawback to working underground was no cellular reception. He had told his Mom and Liv that he would be underground most of the day and they knew he would be unreachable. He had a walkie-talkie to communicate with his crew above ground but other than that he was cut off from the outside world.

He was startled by Harrison's hysterical voice shouting over the walkie-talkie. He was talking so loud and fast that Fitz couldn't understand him. He grabbed the headset and pressed the button, "Harrison, calm down. I can't understand you. Repeat it slowly."

His voice was clearer but still panic, "Olivia is in the hospital!"

Fitz didn't hear what was said after that nor did he care. He ran down the tunnel and rushed up the ladder. He went to his work truck to grab his phone and saw that he had several missed calls from Abby, Quinn and Stephen. Huck and Harrison hopped into the truck with him as he was cranking up.

Harrison told him, "She is at Mount Sinai."

Fitz was focused on getting there as quickly as possible. He was driving like a maniac. He used the warning lights on the truck to drive around traffic and on the sidewalks. As far as anyone knew, he was doing construction. He arrived at the hospital in record time. The truck barely came to a stop before he took off running for the entrance. The information desk told him that she was in the emergency room area.

He ran with Huck and Harrison on his tail. When he made it to the waiting area, he saw Abby, Quinn and Stephen stand as he entered. He was hysterical and out of breath, "Where..Is..She?"

Stephen grabbed his shoulders, "Calm down, Fitz. We don't know what is going on. The doctors haven't told us anything. All we know is she passed out at work. Nothing will be accomplished by getting upset."

Fitz pushed Stephen off of him, "Don't tell me to calm down! Okay. Do. Not. Do. That." He ran his hands through his hair as he became more frustrated, "She is just Olivia to you guys. She is your friend." He pointed to toward the door where they were waiting for some news on her condition, "That is my world in there. MY WORLD! She and my kids are everything to me right now and I don't know what is wrong with her or if she is okay. You can sit here and be calm all you want. But I can't because my world is at a standstill. I can't breathe without her." He broke down in tears, "She is my everything!"

Abby grabbed Fitz and comforted him, "She is a fighter." That was all she could say because it was the only thing that mattered. She didn't know what was wrong with her or if she would come out of this okay. She knew that Liv was a fighter. She would do everything to get back to him.

After a few minutes the door flew open and a doctor came out with a clipboard, "Is there a Fitzgerald Grant or an Abby Whelan here?"

Both Fitz and Abby walked up to the doctor, Fitz spoke, "We are both here. How is Olivia?"

He spoke in a serious tone never showing any emotions, "She is fine now. She was unconscious when she was brought in. We ran some tests on her when she awakened. Her pressure had dropped to dangerous levels which is why she passed out. She told me that she had just started some new medication and I believe that is what caused it."

Fitz finally gathered the courage to ask what he really wanted to know, "How are the babies?"

The doctor smiled this time, "They are fine, Mr. Grant."

Fitz breathed a huge sigh of relief, "Oh Thank God!"

"We did an ultrasound to make sure but they are still healthy. Their heartbeats were strong. I am keeping her overnight for observation. After she is discharged, I recommend a week of bedrest."

Fitz chuckled, "Trust me doc, it will be a cold day in hell before she goes anywhere further than from our bed to the bathroom."

"I believe you. If you want to see her, you can. She is in Room 4."

The doctor walked away. Abby told Fitz to go first and they would be there in a few minutes. He walked into the back and found her room. He opened the door and saw her lying in a dim lit room. She looked so feeble but he was so happy that she was okay.

She turned her head to see her love standing there looking at her. She smiled, "Hi!"

He slowly walked to the side of the bed. He grabbed her hand and stroked her face, "Hi!"

She spoke in a soft voice, "How are you doing?"

He sat on the edge of the bed, "I should be asking you that. You nearly gave me a heart attack today. If you wanted extra attention, all you had to do was ask."

She chuckled at his joke, "No baby. You give me more than enough attention. Did you talk to the doctor?"

He nodded, "Yeah, he talked to me and Abby."

"I didn't know if they had gotten into contact with you. Abby is listed at my emergency contact person at work and on my medical forms."

He cleared his throat trying to fight off his emotions, "That's okay. We can fix that. I was in the tunnels today anyway. Harrison got a hold of me on the radio. What happened?"

She shook her head and stared off into space, "I don't know. I started feeling weird during third period. I was playing the piano but I kept dragging the beat. I couldn't focus my eyes. I sent a student for help. I felt sick to my stomach and when I tried to stand, I must have blanked out. The next thing I knew, I was waking up here."

He kissed her hand, "I am just happy that you are okay. They said the babies were fine but you are on bedrest for a week."

She met his eyes with a smile, "I guess you got your wish for me not to go to Albany without you."

A tear fell from his eye, "I would rather you go from here to California alone than to have you lying here in this hospital. Don't think for one minute that I am happy that you are here."

She reached up and pulled his face into hers. She gave him a sensual kiss on the lips, "I am fine."

He kissed her cheeks and pulled her up into a hug, "I'm not. I can't live without you baby. You are my world. You are my life. There is no me without you. Please don't ever scare me like this again."

She hugged him tighter, "I will try not to." She released him and scooted over in the bed, "Lay with me."

He didn't need to be told twice. He laid down with one arm underneath her head and the other across her stomach holding her tight. He kissed her cheek, "I love you baby."

She turned her body a little towards him, "I love you more."

They shared a kiss as the room door opened and the rest of the gang walked it. Abby had to speak first, "Ok guys, I need you to break it up. Nobody wants to see that."

Liv rolled her eyes playfully, "After all of the times we were subjected to watching you and Stephen make out, you are the last one that should talk."

Everyone laughed. Quinn walked up to Liv, "I am glad to see that you are feeling better. Corey came running for me when they couldn't wake you. He said he knew I was your friend."

Liv gave a faint smile, "You really are."

Harrison spoke to Fitz, "I called the job and told them what's going on. They said you can take tomorrow off. Huck and I will be leaving in a few minutes so we will take the truck back."

Fitz responded, "Thanks man. I appreciate it because there is no way I was letting her out of my sight anytime soon."

There was a knock at the door. A nurse and orderly appeared when it opened. They looked at Olivia, "Ms. Pope, they have your room ready upstairs. This is Mitch. He is going to take you up there."

Fitz got off the bed as Mitch pulled a wheelchair in the room. Fitz helped Liv into the wheelchair. Liv looked around at her friends, "I should be released tomorrow. You can come by the apartment to see me if you want."

Abby came over and hugged her friend, "Try and stop us."

Liv smiled as each of her friends gave her a hug and kiss. They took her to the fifth floor. Fitz made sure that she was comfortable and okay. It was more for his peace of mind most of the times. He would touch her every now and then to make sure that she was real and he wasn't dreaming.

While she slept peacefully, he had her phone and his calling various family members to inform them of what happened. He knew his mom would be upset if he kept it from her. He called her Aunt Dot to let her know because she was Liv's family. Dot said that she would tell Liv's father so that was less stress on Fitz. After he was done, he sat by her bedside watching her sleep. The TV was on in the background but he couldn't tell you what was on.

A knock at the door brought him out of his thoughts. A nurse appeared, "Uh-her students are here and they asking about her condition."

Fitz got up and walked towards the waiting room. All of her students from the choir were there along with Mrs. Butler and Principal Beene. When Fitz entered the room, all eyes turned to him.

There was a multitude of questions fired at him about her condition. He spoke to the group as a whole, "Ms. Pope is fine. She is actually sleeping right now. She will be released tomorrow and back to school after Spring Break."

Corey stepped forward, "What was wrong with her? She didn't look too good earlier."

Fitz took a deep breath, "She started some new medication this week that made her dizzy and lightheaded. That is all that happened."

Corey spoke again, "Why is she on new medication? She has been sick a lot lately. We notice how she runs out to throw up during rehearsal. She started eating her lunch in her office and not the cafeteria. Mr. Grant, you are keeping something from us. Does she have cancer or something? Is she going to die?"

Fitz saw the collective look of worry on each of her student's faces, "Ms. Pope is pregnant, Corey. That is why she is sick. Ms. Pope is not going to die. She will get plenty of rest this week and she will be back to school ready to work. She is fine."

They breathed a collective sigh of relief. Principal Beene turned to the students, "Now that you know she is ok, I ask that you all return to your respective homes or wherever you have to be. I will make sure that Ms. Pope gets your card and knows that you were all concerned about her well-being."

The students slowly filed out leaving Mrs. Butler and Principal Beene alone with Fitz. Fitz spoke to him, "I am Olivia's boyfriend, Fitz. You must be the principal at her school."

He introduced himself, "Yes, I am Cyrus Beene. We had a hard time calming the students down after the ambulance left. Allowing them to come to the hospital later was the only way to keep them from leaving the school."

Mrs. Butler looked at Fitz, "Are you sure that she is okay? I tried all I could to wake her up."

Fitz heart went out to her, "I promise you, she is fine. I will be here with her until tomorrow and then I am taking her home where I will make sure she stays fine."

Cyrus handed Fitz a Get Well Card, "It is signed by the students and some faculty members."

"I will make sure she sees this."

Mrs. Butler spoke again, "Are you still planning on doing the surprise?"

Fitz smiled, "Without a doubt. This definitely put the final nail in that topic."

She smiled back at him, "Well, I have mentioned it to the kids and Principal Beene. Everyone is on board."

"Thank you very much." Fitz left them and went back to Liv's room.

She was awake when he walked in, "Hey, did you go and get you something eat?"

He shook his head, "No, your students came along with your principal and Mrs. Butler to check on you and bring you a card." He handed her the card as he sat down. He placed his hand over her stomach as he braced himself for her reaction, "I told them that you are pregnant."

He was ready for her to yell and scream at him. He was surprised when she said, "Okay, I am glad they know. I can just imagine how scared they were. I scared myself and you. If they needed to know then that is fine."

He had a shocked look on his face, "Alright." He handed her back her phone, "You should have a Facebook notification."

She looked and laughed when she saw it. It was a request to confirm her relationship status with Fitzgerald Grant. She confirmed that she was dating him. "You are silly sometimes."

He acted innocent, "What? I noticed that we forgot to update our relationship status. I don't want other people thinking I am available."

She gave him a sly smile, "I like the way you think there, Mr. Grant."

"Check out my profile picture too."

She almost cried when she saw a selfie of the two of them hugged up with her on his lap. He posted a status with the picture that read: #lovethiswomantodeath #mybetterhalf and he tagged her in the photo.

She found a picture of the two of them and changed her profile picture to it. She posted a status: #myking #lovehimwithmyheartandsoul and she tagged him.

He gave her a kiss and joined her on the bed as she read her card.

The next morning after the doctor did his rounds, he told Olivia that she would discharged by noon. Fitz was holding her in the bed when the door flew open to reveal a surprising guest.

Fitz focused his eyes, "Mom! What are you doing here?"

As if her presence was natural occurrence, "Olivia is in the hospital. Why else would I be here?"

Fitz looked at Liv who was suppressing a laugh then he clarified his intent to his mother, "No, I mean what made you come here?"

She put her hand on her hip, "I just told you. Olivia is in the hospital."

Fitz groaned in frustration. Liv touched his hand, "I appreciate you coming."

She rushed over to her and gave her a hug as Fitz climbed out of the bed, "When Fitz told me what happened, I bought a ticket for the next train to New York City. I am here to help take care of you until you get back on your feet. You and the babies need plenty of rest and good cooking."

Fitz calmed down and gave his mother an appreciative smile, "We really thank you, Mom."

She waved her hand at him, "Nonsense. You still have to work and she needs someone to take care of her. I have all the free time in the world so why not be useful. Now come give me a hug while you are questioning me."

Fitz laughed as he gave his mother a hug, "You are the best mom ever!"

"Tell me something I don't know."

They shared a laugh as they waited for Olivia to finally be discharged.
