Chapter 21

Mr. & Mrs. Grant returned to the White House hand in hand. They had gotten into the Presidential bed and made the sweetest love. Livvie had gone to sleep almost immediately after. She was drained emotionally from the Mellie encounter and Fitz had spent almost an hour branding her with his lovemaking. He had lavished three mind blowing orgasms on her before he had claimed his own soul draining release. The President was wide awake however. The woman he loved lay in his arms sleeping and he was just staring at her. She was his and he would never lose her again. He was thinking how best to go about the problems confronting them.

Number one was Mellie. He would truly never be free of her she was the mother of his children. But she would stay away from Olivia or he would crush her. He had the goods on her and he would use them if she didn't stay the fuck away from his wife.

Number two was to convince Olivia that he would not be damaged badly by them coming forward as a couple, even as a married couple. Olivia knew the workings of DC but she didn't truly understand the power he held as President. He had committed no crimes. They could weather this. He would face the music by simply saying he loved her and he always had. Theirs was a real love story. And America loved a good love story. He was fifty-two and he wanted to give Olivia children and he wanted to be a father to them in their formative years. He knew she wanted children. Without bringing up the fact he was 15 years her senior he had to convince her not to wait too long!

He brushed her hair back from her face. She had moved in her sleep and her long tresses now covered it. She was beautiful with her flawless skin. Her lips were so full and beautiful. He remembered the first day he saw her and asked her what was her name. Her overall beauty had shaken him to his core. He had turned around and there she was. "Olivia Pope" she said with those pouty lips making his dick jump in his pants. Yes there had been some lust on first sight, but there was the love too.

He had wanted to pull her to him right there at his headquarters. He had wanted to inhale her scent and touch her. It was primal what he had felt. It was like he knew she was his. This woman that he didn't even know was his mate, he knew it. But he was already married with children so he had gone to Cy and asked him to fire her. Why? Because he knew he couldn't resist her. Six years later and he still couldn't.

Her eyes opened, she looked at him and smiled. "I could feel you staring at me Fitz. Is everything alright? Fitz?"

"Everything is alright Livvie; I was just admiring my wife. She is the most beautiful woman in the world you know. And she makes me the happiest of men. You are everything to me Olivia. Making you happy is my life goal. All you have been through with me and for me. I am just so glad you waited for me Olivia. I am so glad you waited for me to be free to love and cherish you. I promise you the world is your oyster. Anything you want, you have but to ask. I intend to give you everything including children. You will have those babies we talked about Olivia and a home of your own. It is all going to happen Sweet Baby, count on it. All I ask is that you don't wait too long on the children I want to enjoy them too okay?"

"Ok Fitz. I promise I won't wait too long. I plan to enjoy them with you. What time is it anyway?"

"Almost five. What time do you have to be at the OPA? It's early but do you want breakfast?"

"Not until 9:30. It is way too early to eat breakfast, but I wouldn't mind licking and lapping on a little something Mr. President," she said as she reached her hands out searching.

The President and his lady emerged from his suite of room both perfectly groomed. One would never know they had been engaging in mind-blowing sex for the last 2 hours. Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III loved himself some Olivia Carolyn Pope. She was his and he intended for the entire nation, make that world, to know it soon. He had kissed her long and hard before she had walked away from him. He was still watching her.

He had finally gotten her to agree that Mellie had to be told that they were married. That way there would be no more incidents like yesterday. Olivia was his wife and she would be treated with respect by everyone within and outside these walls. There would be no more slut-shaming by Mellie or she would be banned from the White House and he would arrange for Teddy to be brought to her. The choice was hers.

He also had gotten Olivia to see that as the First Lady she would now be under the protection of the Secret Service. So certain people would have to know. She capitulated easily enough. Of course he saw no need to tell her she had always been protected since they started their affair. But as soon as she had agreed to marry him he had placed her under the total protection of the secret Service, it was her right as his wife. She had agreed that they would make a formal announcement in two weeks. He had given her the weeks she asked for. He smiled wistfully and said; "finally" I get to tell the world she is mine!

Olivia was as happy as she had ever been in her entire life. She was married to the man of her dreams and she might even be pregnant with their baby. A baby of her very own, a baby that was part her and part Fitz. She was giddy about it. She had made an appointment for two weeks from today. If she were right she would be about two months along and it would be safe to tell Fitz. She knew he wanted children with her, it was his dream too. He loved his children with Mellie, but they weren't conceived in love he had said. Their babies would be conceived in the love they had for each other. She smiled and rubbed her flat belly. "I can't wait little one, mommy can hardly wait."

She walked into her office. Heads turned, she was early. "Morning guys. I know I'm early but I received a text last night from Gloria Martinez the wife of Senator Ed Raines. Her brother was arrested last night for murder. A murder Gloria says he didn't commit. I am meeting with them at 10:15. Abby you sit in with me. Quinn, Harrison, and Huck your preliminary assignments are in these folders. We will meet here at 4:30 for roundtable to decide if we take the case. I have a commitment for 6:30 tonight so we will make our decision only on taking the case tonight, okay?

The team left except for Olivia and Abby. Abby just looked at her smiling. "Girl you are glowing this morning again. You can't hide it Liv. They know something is up. So exactly how happy are you?"

"Abby it is so wonderful. I am so happy. I am so in love with him. I am his wife. It is what I wanted more than anything. And I am late Abby. I am almost sure we have made a baby. I haven't told him yet I don't want him disappointed if I am not pregnant. So once I am confirmed, I will tell him. We have wanted this so much, to be married and have our own family."

"Oh Liv I am so happy for you. The President will be so happy, he loves you so much. This will cement you two in stone. A baby Liv, your own little baby to love. I am so jealous. When he came to me and asked me to be your maid of honor he was so afraid you would say no to marrying so quickly. I told him I didn't know all the particulars but I suspected you loved him just as much as he loved you. He was so relieved; he laughed out loud and said," I believe she does too." He is going to be over the moon!"

Their musing was cut short when they heard the office door bell ring. Their client was here. Olivia put on her game face and said to Abby, "Let's see who if anyone is telling lies today girlfriend!"
