Olivia had called Fitz after receiving the call from Lauren. She didn't know what was going on, but something in Lauren's voice scared her.

Fitz told her that he was on his way as well. He knew there was no way he could ask his wife to calm down when she didn't know if their daughter was okay. So the next best thing was to get over to the studio.

He happens to be meeting with his dad & Teddy. He was planning a huge surprise for Olivia, and he needed their help. They heard the stress in her voice, and decided to tag along with him.

Back at the studio Olivia was seeing red, but first she had to calm her daughter who was still hysterical. Olivia bent down the best she could, and looked her daughter in the eye. Then she noticed that she was standing funny.

"Honey, what is wrong?"

Karen said nothing.

Olivia looked down, and noticed her foot. It was swollen pretty bad.

Olivia caressed her cheek, "Mommy is not mad at you. How did you hurt your foot?"

Karen whispered, "I think when I tried to pull from her I landed wrong, but I'll be fine mommy. Don't leave me."

"What are you talking about honey?"

She wouldn't say anything.

Stephanie spoke up, "Melody told her that you really didn't want her anymore. That is why she was taking her. She said mean things about you Auntie Liv."

Olivia had to get the kids out soon. She couldn't contain herself much longer.

Olivia smiled at Stephanie, "Thank you honey."

Olivia looked at Lauren, "Do you mind taking her to the emergency room? You can call my mom or grandmother even Harrison if you have to. Tell them what is going on, and have them meet you at the hospital. As soon as I am done here I will head over."

Lauren nodded

Olivia turned and looked at her daughter, "You are my daughter. My oldest, and in a couple of months I am going to need you. I need you to go with Lauren, and mommy and daddy will be to the hospital as soon as possible."

"You promise?"

"I promise, and what does mommy say about promises."

"You only make ones that you can keep."

"That's right! I love your ladybug"

Karen leaned over and hugged her mom really tight. Olivia held her for a moment to show her that they would be fine.

Olivia stood up. Lisa's brother told Lisa to help Lauren with Karen. He would stay with Olivia, and lock up the studio.

Lisa picked Karen up since they didn't know the extent of her injuries and they left the studio. Once the door closed Olivia turned and looked through the door staring at Melody.

She probably would have calmed down if she looked like she regretted what she just did, but she just looked at Olivia. Concentrating on the fact that she was pregnant it seemed, and that set Olivia off.

She would never be able to explain how she made it across the room so quickly but she did. She backhanded Melody. When Melody tried to swing back she ducked, and tripped Melody down. She grabbed her by the hair, and pulled her out of the office.

She would find out later that Lisa's brother called her name multiple times out of concern for her health, and the health of the babies. What he didn't know was beating Melody's ass was a stress relief not a stressor.

She was about to go show Melody why you never come for her family when she heard his voice.

"Livvie, it's not worth it baby."

Olivia let Melody go and turned around. There stood her husband, dad, and brother-in-law clearly concerned.

"You never learn do you."

Fitz thought she was talking to them, but quickly realized it was Melody. She heard her move, and she knew Melody didn't care that she was pregnant. She was willing to take a cheap shot, but she was one who got hit when she elbowed Melody.

All four men at the same time said, "OH SHIT"

Olivia said, "You realize I was raised in New York city. I was not walking the streets unprepared. If you tried to rob or hurt me you might win, but not without a fight."

Gerald chuckled, "Son, I told you she was the one."

Lisa's brother pulled Melody into a chair.

Fitz walked over, "What is going on? Where is Karen?"

Olivia turned to face Melody, "Melody here got herself in another jam after our talk. She knew we were not going to just hand over another dime to her, but she figured if she took Karen that would make us pay. What your dear ex-wife didn't bank on was two little girls who were taught basic tools if they were ever put in this situation. Karen & Stephanie caused a scene, and Lisa's brother rushed to the girl's aid."

Fitz looked at him and he shook his head. They didn't owe him a thing. Every day he went to work to serve and protect. He loved his sister, and wanted to make sure that she and the girls were safe so he didn't mind watching out for them. When he couldn't he had a couple of his friends that were there in his place.

Fitz asked, "Where is Karen?"

"On her way to the hospital."

All three men yelled, "What…."

All composure was gone at this point, and you could tell they were now questioning whether they should have stopped Olivia. They knew they should have for her safety as well as the babies, but they were men. They couldn't lay a hand on Melody.

Olivia nodded, "She has so scratches on her arm, but I noticed she was standing properly. I looked down and her foot was swollen pretty bad. I don't know if it was a bad sprain or she actually broke something."

When she finished her sentence she broke down, and their hearts broke as Fitz held her. She was sobbing as she told them how scared she was. Fitz held her, and told her to relax. She didn't need to be in the hospital at this point.

Olivia composed herself. She looked at her dad, "Dad, can you call your friend at the FBI. Give him the address and tell him we have a fugitive here that they are looking for?"

They all said, "What"

Olivia turned around and looked at Melody. She smiled for the first time, "When Melody came to see my boyfriend at the time I told her I knew all her dirty little secrets. I told Melody to never come after my family again or I would ruin her. I never pulled Huck from keeping tabs on Melody, because I learned after talking to my husband that she doesn't believe her shit doesn't stink. Melody & her boyfriend are wanted on federal drug trafficking. She is looking at 5-40 years depending on how much information she is willing to share. Add to that attempted kidnapping, and I bet she planned to cross over state lines. If that is proven that makes it a federal crime. Also since she planned on using Karen to get money from us there is the charge of attempted extortion."

Gerald smiled as he made the call. He hung up a few minutes later. "He has a team that will be here soon to take her into custody."

Teddy went over to his brother and sister, "Why don't you guys head over to the hospital? I am your attorney through this. I will arrange a time for them to speak with Karen at home with you guys near, because I am sure she is still scared."

Fitz & Olivia nodded. They hugged everyone and left out.

Gerald walked over to Melody, "I detested you from the moment you walked in my door. I begged my son not to marry you. For the longest time I didn't know why. I realize it was all part of a bigger plan. Someone had to save Karen. My children did that. You messed with the wrong family. My daughter has done a masterful job of keeping up with your dirty little secrets. Now I am going to use every bit of my power to make sure that if you ever walk out of prison you will be to senile too do anything stupid."

Melody looked up at her former father-in-law. From the moment she had tried to take Karen she had said very little. Olivia didn't want to hear it. She didn't know that Olivia was pregnant. She was keeping up with the news. She overheard two women talking about how cute Fitz & Olivia were. Everyone had nicknamed the couple "Olitz". Everyone was happy for the couple and Karen. She heard them talking about how excited she was to be a big sister.

Up until that point she wasn't sure what she was going to say to Karen, but she had to get her. She was her only chance to get the money she needed to pay off a debt.

She hadn't counted on the tenacity of the girls especially her daughter. She didn't understand how Fitz & Olivia loved her so much when she wasn't biologically either of theirs. She didn't understand that kind of unconditional love. Maybe if she had she wouldn't be where she was now. Life as she knew it was over. She was going away for a long time.

When Olivia & Fitz got to the hospital Nana rushed them to the room. Karen was still very upset. It broke Olivia's heart, but she gave them permission to sedate her. Her blood pressure was through the roof. Melody had taken her sense of security away. They were unsure how to fix this.

The doctor had informed the couple she had broken her foot. They needed to set it and cast it. Olivia asked them if they could put a purple cast on. The doctor told her it was not a problem.

They decided to keep Karen overnight for observation because of her blood pressure. A couple of hours later she woke up whimpering calling for Olivia. She had stepped out the room. Karen didn't want Fitz. A minute later Olivia walked back in the room.

She quickly climbed in the bed, and comforted their daughter. He was happy that Karen had Olivia, but he was mad that Melody had put her in this place.

The next morning the doctor came in. Karen was a little better mentally, but she didn't let Olivia get very far.

Velma had brought them breakfast. She left the them alone to talk to Karen.

Olivia looked at Karen, "Talk to me sweetie."

She didn't say anything at first.

Olivia decided to talk, "I know that yesterday was scary, and I am sure that Melody said some things that hurt you. Even somethings that scared you. I'm sorry I didn't protect you. I love you Kare Bear. That will never change. I don't care how many children I have. There is nothing that I won't do for you. Even if I need to stop working for a while. At the end of the day nothing is more important than you, the babies, and Daddy."

Karen looked at her, "I don't want you to stop working, but there is something I want. I know it is not possible for you or dad."

Fitz grabbed her hand, "We don't know until you tell us. What does mom always tell you?"

"I may not always get what I want, but I won't know unless I try."

Olivia kissed her forehead. Karen leaned into her, "Do you think we can move sooner?"

Olivia & Fitz were confused at first, but it dawned on them at the same time.

Fitz asked, "You want to move to Florida?"

She nodded

"Can you tell me why?"

"She knows we are here. I know she is going to jail, but I am scared. It is like she is boogey man. I know you moved to North Carolina to start over, and I am happy. I guess…."

Olivia made her look at her, "Tell me"

Karen whispered, "Florida would be a fresh start for all of us. Something no one can take from us. Not Melody, not your parents, no one. I know its dumb."

Olivia looked at Fitz. She knew he was game if she was. She wasn't leading any cases until after the twins arrived. She had already had a meeting with their teams about the Florida location. Florida was going to be her base, and she would travel to North Carolina and New York. Fitz would have to travel more, but he was fine with it. As long as his family had piece of mind, and truthfully them being in Florida brought him peace just thinking about it.

Olivia shocked Karen when she said, "I think that can be arranged."

"You do."

"Your dad is going to be away a little more since this was unexpected, but we can make do. We didn't have plans for you to switch schools. If we move I think it is best that we home school you for the year, and I want you to talk to someone for a little while. That way you can share with them things you might not be comfortable with us knowing. You also have to give us enough time to furnish the house."

Karen readily agreed.

Fitz told Olivia to take care of the kids, and he would handle everything else. It made Fitz feel like a man when his wife trusted him. She never questioned him. She knew he would take care of them. He felt like he failed them, and it hurt. Realistically he knew that there was nothing that he could have done differently, but they were his world. He wasn't ready to live a life without them.

A week after the incident Nana asked him to stop by her house. When he walked in he was a little surprised to see his mom there also.

He greeted them both.

He looked at them after he sat down, "Is everything okay?"

Velma nodded, "When I talked to Olivia shortly after you guys started dating I knew you were the one. I knew because I could hear in her voice that she felt safe with you. She knew deep down you would never willingly hurt her like her parents and Edison. I know you feel like you let them down, but it is the opposite. You have protected Karen from a life of misery. My granddaughter has found real happiness. Focus on that."

"Did Livvie say something to you guys?"

"Directly no. We spent some time with her."

"What did she say?"

"She said she didn't want Melody to win. That she had taken enough from you and Karen. Livvie gets her work ethic from her grandfather. We built our company with blood, sweat, tears, and hard work. That is why she works so hard. Too hard at times. She has it honest. I taught her that all work and no play makes life boring. She hated life so when she was with Edison work kept her going. With you it is different. You, Karen, and now the twins are her life. Don't kill yourself trying to prove something she already knows. "

Fitz looked up at them. Janice went over to her son, and for the first time he broke down. He broke down as he thought about how Melody shattered their daughter's trust and safety. Right now she didn't to be out of the eye sight of family. Her preference was Olivia. He cried because he knew how angry Olivia was, and if she could get away with it should would kill Melody. He let it out, and it felt good to be comforted by his mom and Nana.

His mom said, "I have always been proud of you son. Your dad and I have raised two great men. Take care of your family, but do it in a way that empowers all of you."

Fitz nodded

I know that you were concerned about the baby shower. We were going to surprise you, but with everything going on we want you to know that we planned to have the baby shower in Florida next month anyway. It is still warm there, and since it is more like a big party we thought Liv would like a backyard BBQ.

Fitz grinned, "Oh mom she will love it. I think the warm weather will be good for them."

After that talk Fitz made sure not to be consumed with Melody. Olivia was only working half days in the office. They had withdrawn Karen from school, and hired a young woman who had recently gotten her degree to teach. She didn't want to teach in a traditional setting. She was the daughter of one of their clients. Her name was Misty.

Misty & Karen got along really well. After talking with Fitz they offered Misty the job of teaching Karen for the next year. The offer was more than what first year teachers made, and they included benefits. There was space for her to stay with them. Misty accepted the offer. Misty's dad had worked with Olivia on a couple of mergers. He assured Misty she would take care of her.

Fitz had a couple of surprises for them in their Florida home. He let them pick out most of the furniture and appliances. They would email him, and he would forward to the interior decorator that he hired to get the house finished in a month.

Everything was going well until they received word that Melody was demanding a trial. She wanted to force Karen & Stephanie to testify. Her hope was her attorney would confuse them, and tear apart their story.

Olivia was beside herself. They hadn't told Karen. She was spending the night with Nana. So it was the two of them one night. Olivia was lying in bed when Fitz walked in the room.

He grabbed the coco butter, and began to rub her bump. He loved doing this because it always seems to calm Olivia & the babies.

Once she was relaxed Fitz asked, "Do you trust me Livvie?"

She opened her eyes and looked at him, "I do."

"Karen & Stephanie are not going to testify."

"Okay, and how do you plan on preventing it."

"I have a meeting tomorrow. Will you go with me?"

She looked at him for a moment. His eyes were begging for her to trust him. Let him be the man, and take care of this. He knew how powerful she was, and he had no problem with that. This was just something he needed to do.

Olivia nodded and let him know she would be by his side.

The next morning, she stood by his side as they walked in a prison room with Melody & her attorney. She held his hand after he helped her sit down.

Fitz looked at Melody, "Tell your attorney to step out the room."

The attorney was refusing, but something told Melody he needed to go. She had never seen this side of Fitz before. She wasn't sure what was about to happen.

Melody looked at him, "It's okay."

Fitz looked at her attorney, "Don't worry nothing she says will be used against her."

He nodded and left.

Melody turned to him, "If you came here to gloat about your family then….

"Shut the hell up Millicent!"

Both Melody & Olivia jumped.

She had never heard that kind of base in her husband's voice. Even when they argued he didn't sound like this.

Fitz said, "When we leave you are going to have your attorney called the D.A. to work out a deal. There will be no trial. You have hurt our daughter, and by our I mean Olivia & I enough. You are not going to damage her further. You are not going to stress my pregnant wife out any more than you have, because she is trying to take care of our daughter who is on crutches with a broken foot and scared of her own shadow at times. That ends here."

"Why would I not go to trial."

Fitz leaned over and with nothing but venom and hate in his voice he said, "Because if you don't I will make sure that the D.A. gets some information that proves that Andrew didn't naturally have a stroke."

Olivia was officially confused, but as she looked at Melody she could tell that she knew he wasn't bluffing.

Melody said, "You have nothing."

Fitz grinned, "See when you are married to the best crisis manager in the world you learn a thing or two. Better yet when you marry the love of your life you will do anything to keep your family safe. I wasn't expecting you when you popped up the first time, but Liv was. I knew I was going to marry her, and that meant I had to be prepared. So I took a page out her book. My dad & I paid a man to look into a couple of things, and wouldn't you know you had your hands on some drugs. You say Andrew took them on accident, but I bet a jury would think otherwise if they found out that you got them two days before the incident. Problem is that it was supposed to kill him, but he jerked before you could inject it all. Easy to explain away a needle mark. You both shot up. Almost the perfect crime. Key word almost."

Olivia sat back in her chair for the first time truly impressed. She had never felt more loved in her entire life. She always knew that Fitz would do whatever he could to keep her safe, but this was everything to her.

She looked over at Melody. For the first time that smug look of hers was gone. They officially had the upper hand.

Melody looked over at Olivia, "You have nothing to say."

Olivia shook her head, "I am the best at what I do, but this is not work. This is personal. You came after us. Our child. You have this entitled attitude. You are the woman and the man. It is not possible. My grandmother always taught me that there was nothing wrong with being a successful woman, but if I wanted a happy marriage I still had to let a man be a man. This right here is my letting my husband be a man. He is taking care of his family. If he needed my help he would have asked me, but from my perspective he has it under control."

Fitz nodded and squeezed his wife's hand underneath the table. She moved her hand to his leg to let him know she had his back.

Fitz turned and looked at Melody, "I am giving you 48 hours. I better receive a call telling me that you reached a plea bargain. I also want a hand written heartfelt letter of apology in his hands for our daughter. Where you apologize for the harm you caused, and that you lied to hurt her. That Olivia is her mom, and only wants the best for her. You were in a bad situation that caused you to do a stupid thing."

Fitz stood up and helped Olivia up. They got to the door and he turned around and looked at Melody one last time.

"You always thought I was weak. I was never weak. I just never wasted my energy on a woman that didn't give two shits about me or my child. Make no mistake things are very different now. I will slay dragons for my family. You don't want to test me. I will go nuclear on you, and I am sure my wife has files on you. I bet she knows who you owe money to don't you honey."

Olivia smiled, "You know me too well."

Fitz winked and open the door, "Time is a ticking Millicent."

Olivia was truly turned on watching her husband in action. It was clear that he had the legal mind like his parents and brother. He just happened to enjoy numbers more.

When they got to the car Olivia turned around and kissed him hard, and with passion that told him what he needed to know.

She finally pulled back and leaned her forehead against his, "Thank you baby."

"For what Livvie?"

"Protecting me and loving me. I know that I can take care of myself, and that is a good thing. I just love that as my husband you protect me, protect us. I love you so much."

"It is a job that I take seriously. This situation has been stressful, but we are getting through it as a family."

They got in the car to head home when Olivia got a call from Karen. She explained to them that Stephanie told her they were going to have to go to court, and tell what happened that night.

They could hear it in her voice that she didn't want to go back to that night if she didn't have to. She was getting better. Mainly thanks to Olivia showing her that Melody didn't scare her off which was her biggest fear after that night.

Olivia calmed her down and said, "Kare Bear I promise you that daddy is taking care of it. We are leaving in a couple of weeks, and daddy is making sure that you don't have to face Melody again okay."

"Okay mom. I'm sorry"

"Why are your sorry sweetie?"

"For being a big baby lately, and taking up your time. You have been rescheduling appointments, and working from home because of me."

Olivia wiped a tear. Fitz grabbed her hand since she was talking to her on her Bluetooth.

"Karen, I am your mom. Whenever you need me I am going to me there. A client can wait. I have a whole team of people to help me, and they understand that my daughter comes first. That my children and family come first. You are never a bother. Working from home is cool. Besides you'll never hear me complain that I had a conference call while enjoying ice cream and my daughter calming her siblings down so I could listen."

Karen laughed and they looked at each other and smiled. Fitz squeezed her hand. She would never take credit for it, but seeing her handle Karen was everything. She was just like her Nana, and that was a good thing.

Exactly 48 hours later Fitz received the call. They had struck a plea deal. Melody would be spending the next 40 years in prison. Since it was federal charges she would do every last day, and that brought comfort to them. More importantly it brought peace to Karen.

The next day the letter was delivered to Karen. They could tell it helped, but more than anything it solidified everything that Olivia had done.

A couple of weeks later they arrived in Florida. Fitz had been a couple of times to make sure that everything was set up the way they wanted. He loved the home, and thought Olivia had made an excellent choice for them.

He had a couple of surprises for them. The first was Olivia's office. Similar to what they did in New York he had them to knock out a wall to make her office larger. Instead of two offices there was one huge office for her. It felt like a real office. All the equipment and lines had put in. She looked out noticed there was now a door there. She could do everything include meeting clients at their home without bringing them in their space.

She was so overwhelmed at the moment. She had never been happier than she was. It was her. It was still chic. Although she would have babies he found a way to make it comfortable for everyone. He had a mini nursery in her office.

She could only hug him as the tears fell.

Next was Karen. They headed down to the other end of the hall. He opened the door and Karen screeched.

Fitz had turned the space into a home photography studio. He had talked with Gina, and she spoke with the designer to get it set up. The room included a backdrop, main light, a new camera, hair light, and reflector.

He loved the finish product, but it was Karen's room. She looked at her dad, and ran into his arms. She thanked him over and over for everything. For moving, for the room, for loving her, for giving her a mom that loved and took care of her. It had them all in tears.

Fitz kneeled down, "Like your mom told you there is nothing I won't do to take care of us. You guys are my world. I know you were concerned that you didn't get to talk to Gina, because she had to handle some family issues of her own but I did talk to her. She helped the designer set up the room. Even better one of her best friends owns a studio down here. Her name is Tina. She already knew about your work from Gina, and she told Gina she would be happy to continue to work with you. If you decide to spend the summer in North Carolina with your grandparents Gina says you can still work with her. Between her and Tina they will take care of you."

Olivia watched the moment between father and daughter. She was blessed that this man was the father of her children. She knew he was making the most sacrifice to make this move possible, but he didn't care. Their happiness especially Karen's happiness was most important. She couldn't have asked for a better man to be her husband, and father to her children.

They headed to the next level. Karen loved her room. She was growing up so the room was more mature than the one in North Carolina. It made Fitz a little sad, but he knew she had to grow up. Thankfully he had two little ones on the way.

Their suite was on the opposite end. Olivia loved that. Fitz had also had the room soundproofed. Before heading into their room she opened the door to the nursery, and gasped.

Although she was almost seven months she still jumped up in her husband's arms which made him laugh.

"I love it Fitz. How did you come to this with all of my rambling?"

"Not sure. I relayed to the designer what you told me. She sent me over a sketch. Once I had that it helped me to make the changes, and this is the finished product."

A product she loved. It was a vintage nursery. The nursery was painted teal, and then there was a stencil design throughout the room.

He wanted to allow her to add her own touch so he got some furniture. He ordered the Beverly Cribs with Molding that she wanted, two Empire Rockers, and two throw pillows with their initials.

Olivia kissed him, "I love you so much."

"I love you too Livvie. I couldn't be the man I am without you."

"Ditto"

A couple of weeks later was their baby shower. It really was a huge party to celebrate the new additions to the family.

Olivia was really excited to see everyone at the party. To finally reveal the sex and names of the baby. At times she wanted to share, but it was nice having that moment with her husband and daughter for a while.

Tiffany literally ran to meet her. They talked a lot on the phone, and Face Time but it was nothing like seeing her best friend.

Mama Jean & Papa Joe made it to Florida. That meant the world to Olivia and Fitz. When she told them they sent them a gift basket. Since Tiffany was the godmother to all three children they became the god grandparents. It was not odd for them to send Karen something.

No one brought up the incident, but they could tell that being in Florida was doing wonders for Karen already. She enjoyed Misty, and her therapist here was very good.

Since they didn't know the sex of the baby, and men were at the shower her mom and grandmother went with a modern chic look.

All of the tables outside were covered in white linen with a black table runner. Olivia favorite flower was orchids so the tables either had tall glass cylinder vases with a few orchids in them, or clear bowls filled with water and orchid blossoms on top.

The chairs had black satin bows with colorful pacifier beads.

Olivia didn't want some fancy menu. So her dad, Teddy, and Harrison were manning the grill. There were hamburgers, hot dogs, steaks, chicken, and kabobs cooking. For sides they had potato salad, chips, pasta salad, corn-on-the-cob, and salad for the guests.

They had a bartender there to make drinks for the guests. They had also made a bowl of double berry punch, and double lime punch in honor of the twins.

Olivia & Fitz had ordered a cake. Once they cut the cake it would reveal the sex of the twins. They would then reveal their names.

In addition to the cake they decided on a desert bar. It included double layer jello, double chocolate brownies, double fudge chocolate cupcakes, cookies, and donuts. Everyone knew why they did double.

For favors they purchased some eco-friendly shower bags that Olivia loved. Inside of them were personalized Mason jars, baby face candy pops, personalized mint tints, personalized baby cocktail shaker, chocolate storks in a personalized bag, and a photo card holder and mini photo album.

Karen, Gina, and Tina were there capturing the event. Karen was taking pictures and printing them out so that guests could have photos to put in the album.

Everyone was eating and having a good time. Janice was in the kitchen. She was cleaning up, but stopped to look at her granddaughter.

Gerald had told her what Olivia did, and she had never been prouder. It might had been ill advised since she was pregnant, but as a mom you don't care when something happens to your child.

She treasured Olivia. She was the daughter they didn't get to have, and she was bitter for a long time. Then she realized that God had a plan for all of them. Fitz had to marry Melody in order to have, and save Karen. Olivia needed parents who loved and supported her unconditionally.

She was really worried about Karen, but Olivia took care of her. She didn't think she could love her more until the incident happened. She protected them by keeping tabs on Melody, and she took care of Karen. In an incident that could have lasting negative effects it was clear Karen was going to be fine.

Olivia noticed her mom in her own world when she stepped in to use the bathroom. She was still in her own world.

She walked to her, "Mom are you okay?"

She turned around and smiled. She never looked this good when she was pregnant.

"I'm fine honey. Just looking at Karen."

"She is in her element."

"Because of you."

"Not really"

"Liv, I know what I saw when I got to that hospital and afterwards. You stayed by her side to assured her that you were going nowhere. You of all people know that all parents don't do that. Just the really good and loving ones."

"Nana taught me well, and so have you. I have a mom now that loves me unconditionally. Even when I messed up before my accident you still loved me. It would have been easy to let me go. I would have understood. I hurt your family."

Janice grabbed her hand, "That is where you are wrong. All three of you are my family. You made a mistake. Not really a mistake you were too focused on one thing. It's life. For a while I think we focused on Teddy more. Just because he was going into our profession. We supported Fitz's decision, but I think for a while we didn't give all of our support especially Gerald. He knows numbers to handle his business, but never to manage others. Never to make a decision that would make or break a person. We fixed it, and apologized to Fitz. He said he understood. I went against the grain. I was so disappointed in myself, but I vowed to fix it. I did, and you did the same."

She shared a long embrace with her mom before heading back out.

Everyone was through eating for the most part so it was time to reveal the sex of the babies, and names before they opened gifts.

They decided on a multi-tier cake. The bottom layer revealed the sex.

The couple cut the cake, and with baited breath every one waited.

The couple finally turned the cake around to reveal a blue and pink cake.

Everyone jumped for joy, because it was what everyone wanted when they heard they were expecting twins. One of each is perfect. They didn't know if the couple planned to have more. If they didn't it was perfect.

Karen knew the sex of the twins, but not the names so even she was excited for the next part.

Olivia said, "Our daughter's name is Hayden Olivia Grant"

Fitz smiled and said, "Our son's name is Hunter Thomas Grant"

Everyone loved the names. They had decided to go with H's as their first name, and each child carried a part of their name.

It was perfect. The rest of the shower was spent opening gifts and playing games. It was what Olivia envisioned for her baby shower. Just a big celebration.

Life had thrown them another curve ball, but once again as a family they made it through together. They were happy, and Olivia knew she couldn't wait to actually have Hayden and Hunter in her arms. The incident made her want their children even more.

To get to where they were at now. It was worth the pain.

A/N-I wanted to explore what a child goes through when their trust and safety is broken. Children are resilient. Most can bounce back, but it can be a long and tough road.

Fitz always protects Olivia, and when I saw him call Melody last week I was mad for a quick second. Then I realized he was doing it because he loved her. There is nothing he won't do to protect her. So I went with that. Fitz can be ruthless. Like he was when he served her those divorce papers so I wanted to use that. Melody came after his family. He had to protect them.

The lessons that Velma taught Olivia are some of the lessons I was taught. I have always been a bright person. I was great in school, held down decent jobs, and I am very independent even after losing my leg. I lived on my own for years until my health declined, and hope in the future I can live on my own again.

My family always taught me that I can have my own, make more money than my significant other, but I can never be the man. It wasn't about bowing down to them but understanding my role. Sometimes I think we forget that. We want a man, but when we have one we won't let them be a man. It is all about balance.

Next update the twins arrive.
