MAY 2007

''What do you need me to do?'' Olivia asked as she looked at her old team. Harrison was moving his crisis management firm to D.C and while in the process they took on a case of a senator caught up in being involved in the alleged murder of a transgender prostitute.

''Well first we need to find out if anyone can verify his whereabouts. If they can't we need to find out where he was and who say what.'' Quinn said

''Then we can check the other prostitutes to see if he was a regular and try to make them shut up.'' Abby told her

''I can check his bank statements and cell phone records.'' Huck quipped.

''Okay guys get to work, I need to talk to Liv.'' Harrison told his team.

As the group headed out of Olivia's living room to go do what they needed to do Harrison sat next to her.

''Liv, you shouldn't get involved seeing as though your husband is trying to run for president.''

''He knows what I used to do, he also knows that I am still a lawyer, if anything comes up I can say you asked me for some advice but you didn't say for what. I know how to work the legal system, I played both sides.''

''I know but I don't want things to get crazy if we have to do anything illegal.''

''What's illegal?'' Fitz asked from behind them

Olivia stood up and walked over to Fitz. ''Nothing honey, what are you doing home?''

''Answer the question Olivia.''

Olivia sighed, she knew she should have met them somewhere else. ''Harrison has asked me to help on a case and I told him I would give him some input.''

''Olivia you know damn well you can't get involved in that shit! I am trying to run for president, do you know how it would look if you get caught? What the hell is wrong with you?!''

Harrison quickly left the room he knew they were about to fight.

''Number one, who the hell are you talking to like that?! You don't think I know what you are trying to do! Hence why I am not meeting them at his office or making phone calls! I am giving INPUT, ADVICE, like your political friends do to you.''

''No! the difference between my friends and yours is that yours are criminals!''

''Oh really? So if they are criminals what am i?''

''You tell me.''

Olivia was dumbfounded, what the hell was his problem?

''I don't want you helping him out anymore. Oh and when were you going to tell me you met with Edison last week?'' Fitz couldn't believe what he saw when he drove by the Café downtown.

''I didn't know I had to tell you about every business meeting I have.'' Olivia was pissed, was he insinuating she was cheating?

''You do when they involve your ex fiancé!''

''If you must know, he is making a pre-nup, he Is getting married in two months and asked me as a favor to do his Pre-nup. Even though it isn't my kind of practice I know how to do them and his fiancée had one drawn up and I was reading over it.''

''Are you fucking him?''

Olivia gasped. This cannot be happening, what is his problem.

''Wait… are you fucking serious? I am NOT SLEEPING WITH EDISON OR ANYONE BESIDES YOU! Where the hell did this come from?''

''You know when I was married to Mellie she told me the same thing.''

''Hold up, are you really comparing me to your Ex-wife? Number one if I really wanted to be with anyone else I wouldn't have married you. Number two for you to really compare me to her is insulting! You never compare your ex to your current. I don't compare you to Edison. Number three wherever these insecurities are coming from you need to dig real dip and fix them because I am NOT the one. Number four talk to me like I am some servant or one of your damn children again and watch what happens, I did not come from you. And lastly check your tone when talking to me, I may be your wife but I am a woman not a man.'' Olivia was shaking what the hell was going on?

Fitz didn't say anything, he really didn't want to accuse her of cheating but it felt like Déjà vu all over again. He reached out to grab her and she pulled away.

''Don't touch me.'' Olivia walked past him to grab her jacket and purse. ''I will be back before dinner.''

''Livvy, please wait. Where are you going?'' Fitz voiced cracked, what did he just do?

''Well first I am going to break my criminal friends out of jail and then go get some burgers from the diner and go fuck my lover. Care to come?''

Fitz shook his head no, and watched as she walked out the door. He just fucked up big time.

XxX

Olivia came back home around 7:30. She went to go visit her mom. She was gaining some of her strength of back. She had to get some major radiation and chemo last month so she missed the wedding. Olivia understood but she did miss her mom. Their relationship has improved tremendously. So much has improved that she shared why her and Fitz got into their argument. Her mother gave her some advice and told her that while Fitz may have thought he loved Mellie it's not like he loves her and his insecurities may be linked to him not knowing how true love feels. Michelle told her that his insecurities may also be caused because Olivia was very striking, not only in looks but in personality and any man would be attracted to her.

Olivia opened the front door, placed her bag and keys on the table by the door and took her shoes off in the middle of the foyer.

She made her way to the kitchen to find Fitz with his head down on the dining table. She walked over to him and placed her head on his shoulder.

He lifted his head and she looked in his eyes and saw despair, he looked so lost.

''Livvy? I am so sorry. I am an ass, god I am an ass. Please don't divorce me, I- I- I can't live without you.''

She gently kissed him to quiet his antics. ''Shhh, baby I am not divorcing you. I love you. But I need you to understand I am not going anywhere. You are my life, my heart. We have kids, I love your kids . I understand Mellie has made you question yourself but baby I am yours. This ring, my heart, my soul belong to you. NOBODY IS TAKING ME.''

She squatted down to look into his eyes and wiped his tears. ''Livvy, I am so sorry. I want to be everything for you. I'm so afraid of letting you down and you finding someone to fill in my flaws. I know I should know you won't leave but I have never loved like I love you.''

''Come upstairs with me, no sex tonight but let me hold you Fitz and show you what a good wife does. I love you baby.''

''I love you too Livvy.''
