Chapter 25

The lunch with her new staff went very well. Once they were done she let Tom know she wanted to go and stop by OPA. She let him know that she was going to text the President to let him know that was their plan.

"Hello Husband, are you still mad at me? Wanted to text you and let you know that I am stopping by OPA for about an hour or two and then I will be heading back home." Olivia put a heart at the end of her text this time.

Fitz read the text and shook his head. "Thanks for letting me know but I know you well enough that I figured you would go by there after lunch. Yes, I am still mad but I look forward to seeing you when you get home. Love you."

Olivia was in the elevator at OPA and when it opened and three secret service men walked out everyone came out of their offices.

"Wow Liv, you rolling like that now?" Harrison said smiling at her.

"Funny...so funny! What do we have going on with the cases?" Olivia was moving to the big room they go over everything in.

After she got the low down on everything she knew they could handle all of it and let them know if something came up to give her a call.

"I am leaving this up to you all. I will let you know that if it gets to crazy we may have to move to the White House until at least when I deliver the girls. Just want to throw that out there just in case my husband decides to put me on lock down soon." She laughed but in the back of her mind thought if she pulled to many stunts like this morning he might just do that.

Once Olivia got back to the White House she went straight to the residence and Teddy was their eating a yogurt standing in the kitchen.

"Hey Liv, I was coming to see you today but Dad said you went out. He wasn't to happy either from what I gathered. So I had to deal with his attitude all day when I was in meeting with him. I almost told him I was leaving but he gave me a speech about doing what you say you are going to do and so on. What did you do Liv? He only acts like that when he is upset about you or me and I was with him so it couldn't have been me." Teddy laughed.

Olivia smiled and laughed back at him. "You know your Dad, he got his panties in a wad when I made plans outside of the house and didn't let secret service know until right before we were going to go. Plus, this morning I was less than a wife and left the bedroom not really speaking to him. But in my defense I was a little nervous about meeting everyone on my new staff. This is a lot different then my running my firm. I mean I am married to the President."

"Oh Liv, you are dead." Teddy said throwing his container away and pointing over to the doorway where Fitz had been standing for the past few minutes listening to her.

"Theodore, you could have told me!" Olivia threw a dish rag at him.

Fitz moved to kiss her on the forehead "Panties in a wad Liv...really?"

Teddy walked over to Olivia and hugged her. "Good luck with this one, I will be back for dinner. Love you both."

Olivia was Hollering as Teddy walked out of the room. "Thanks Teddy, leave your pregnant stepmother to defend herself." she looked back at Fitz "Guess that wasn't the best way for you not to be mad at me anymore saying you wear panties huh?"

Fitz moved back around her and picked her up and sat her on the counter. "Olivia, I don't want to fight about this. From now on please make these plans ahead of time. Right now when we don't know what this Henry character was up to and where the emails are coming from we need to be careful. Now, as for this morning. I was married to someone that treated me like that all the time, like I wasn't in the room at all and in no way am I comparing you to Mellie but please don't do that again because I don't want that to become a habit between us." He kissed her lips

"I am sorry for this morning and I will not do it again. Speaking of emails Huck said he is close to seeing where the email came from." Liv said looking into his eyes before kissing him back.

"That is great, I will give him a call tomorrow. So, you are in the residence kitchen, are you cooking dinner tonight?"

"I thought about making your favorite just in case you were still mad at me." Olivia was now moving her hands through his hair. "I love you. Alright, help me down so I can start making dinner."

Fitz helped her down and asked if he needed to do anything to help her.

"I got it baby, you just sit down and watch the master at work." Olivia said pulling out the knives and getting ready to cut up some vegetables.

"Master you say, how often did you cook living by yourself and working the hours you work?" Fitz laughed at her.

Olivia looked at him and smiled. "There have been other men before you that have enjoyed my cooking, do I need to call one of them and let them tell you how good it is?"

Fitz was moving off of his stool and getting closer to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear, "You better not have any of those other old boyfriends numbers anymore Mrs. Grant and trust and believe I know how good it is. That's why you are now my wife." He popped her on her butt.

Olivia finished dinner and put everything on the table. She, Fitz and Teddy were eating when Olivia's phone was ringing. "Pope, yes I can be there tomorrow around three. Looking forward to it Senator." Olivia hung up her phone.

Teddy quickly got up, "Dinner was delicious Liv but I am going to excuse myself because the look on Dad's face I believe world war three may be about to happen. Good night, love you."

Once the door shut Olivia looked at Fitz. "Honey, I said three so I can let the secret service go first and scan the building and it is at OPA. I will call Huck first thing in the morning to tell him I will be coming around three to be ready. So get that look off of your face, I thought about it before I said what time."

"I am not going to say anything. I will call Huck myself in the morning also." Fitz said grabbing her hand.

Olivia got up to start clearing the table. She walked to the kitchen and something was spilled on the floor and she fell down dropping the dishes she was carrying. Fitz was close behind but when her saw her falling he dropped what he was holding and ran to try and catch her. With all the loud noise some agents came running in.

"Olivia, are you okay?" Fitz was grabbing and rubbing on her.

Olivia looked up at him and the agents "I think I am okay, I just slipped but caught myself before I hit the floor to hard. Let me sit here a minute."

Fitz was barking demands for one of them to call Dr. Harris and get him to the White House immediately.

"Fitz, I am okay. My butt is hurting a little but I feel okay. There is no need for Dr. Harris to have to come here. I am seeing him in three days. We are all fine." Olivia said as she started to get up and so many hands were coming at her to help her.

"Get him here now Tom. This is not up for discussion Olivia." Fitz said helping her over to the chair.

"What in the world is going on in here?" Teddy said coming into the room.

"Nothing Teddy, I fell to the floor and your Dad is overreacting as usual." Olivia said trying to get up from the chair.

Teddy went beside her "Liv, let him overreact. You know how he is."

Tom came into the room and said that Dr. Harris was on his way and he would be here in fifteen minutes.

Everyone was standing around Olivia waiting for the doctor to get there. She felt like a science project people were working on and looking at.

"Okay, enough. I am going to go to the bedroom and get undressed. I am sure I will have to be examined. You all go about your business as usual." Olivia said getting up and walking to their bedroom.

"I am going to go with Olivia,when the doctor gets here show him to the room Tom. Teddy, I will come tell you what he says." Fitz was walking to the room. When he got in there Olivia was standing by the bed.

"Liv, I am sorry to overreact, but I just would rather be safe than sorry. We have had too many scares and I can't just go to bed after you have fallen and not know everything is okay." He had walked up to her and put his hand at the small of her back.

Olivia turned to him, "I know, it's fine. Fitz, don't panic but I am feeling some pressure and not sure what it is."

"Livvie, come and sit down. The doctor will be in here in a minute. Don't worry." He was trying to keep her calm but his heart was racing and he didn't want to look at her because she would see the fear in his eyes.

A knock on the door came and both took a breath.

"Come in." Fitz said standing up to greet the doctor.

"So, I hear you had a fall. Are you in any pain Mrs. Grant?"

"Dr. Harris, please call me Olivia. I am feeling pressure put not really any pain." Olivia said looking at the doctor. She could see Fitz pacing beside them as they spoke.

"Okay, let's take a look. Will you just lay back on the bed and I am just going to do a quick exam to make sure everything is okay. Mr. President, will you get me a towel so Mrs. Grant can sit on it while I examine her?" Dr. Harris was looking at Fitz trying to get him to focus.

Fitz came back with a towel and he sat it on the bed and helped Olivia get situated on it. He finally looked at her and they both saw fear in the others eyes.

"it's okay baby, everything is going to be okay." Fitz said cupping her face in his hand.

The doctor was telling them what he was about to do and Fitz grabbed Olivia's hand as the doctor started to exam Olivia. Once he was done she sat up.

"Mrs. Grant, you are going to be okay but there is a little bleeding but not bad enough that we need to go to the hospital. The pressure you are feeling is probably pain from the fall. Unfortunately, since there is a little blood when I exam you that means you are on bed rest again. I feel confident that it will stop but until it does you Mrs. Grant are on strict orders." Dr. Harris smiled at her. "You will not see any blood, if it is some it will be very faint, however, if you do start to see some call me immediately and head to the hospital. I will see you at the end of the week and I will come here with a machine to do an ultra sound. Again, there is no need to worry. Also, not that I feel the need to tell you both this but just in case...um, no intercourse until I clear you."

The doctor left and Fitz grabbed her pajamas and helped her get into bed. "I am going to go tell Teddy what the doctor said. Do you need anything from the kitchen?"

"Fitz, stop a minute. I am okay, you heard the doctor. No need to worry. In a few days I will be back up and running." She smiled at him. Olivia could see he was panicking and wanted to calm him down. "Go tell Teddy, if you would bring me a glass of water that will be great."

Fitz looked at her as he was leaving the room "I will be right back." Fitz went and told Teddy what Dr. Harris had told them and that everything was going to be okay. After leaving Teddy's room he went to get Olivia her water and he poured himself a scotch. Once he got back in the room he handed Olivia her water and said he was going to jump in the shower before bed.

Fitz showered and went to get in the bed. Olivia was on her side waiting for him to get into bed.

"Fitz, are you okay? Are you worried about the babies?" Olivia moved to snuggle up next to him.

"Olivia, I am tired. I am worried and I am tired." Fitz was rubbing her arm that was over his chest.

Olivia moved to look up at him. "I know. Let's just go to sleep babe." They gave each other a kiss good night. Olivia fell asleep shortly after but Fitz still saw the time on the clock every hour. He couldn't fall asleep at all. Fitz kept seeing her fall and the pain on her face as the doctor examined her. He kept hearing the doctor say she was bleeding a little and that there was nothing to worry about it. He just didn't feel at ease about any of it.

It was about four when Fitz felt Olivia jerk in his arms.

"Liv, are you okay?" Fitz said sitting up in the bed.

Olivia had tears in her eyes. "Just a bad dream baby, that's all. Go back to sleep." Olivia moved to get out of bed.

"Livvie, what are you doing?" Fitz had moved off the bed to go to her side.

She laughed at him. "I need to go to the bathroom Fitz. I am okay honey."

"Okay, you need anything I am going to grab me something to drink?" Fitz was throwing on a t-shirt.

"No, I don't want anything but don't you drink anymore scotch. Yes, I smelt it on your breath earlier before your shower. No more Fitzgerald." Olivia said pointing her finger at him.

Fitz went to get him something to drink and when he got back to the bedroom Olivia was already back in the bed. Fitz climbed in bed went and spooned in behind her. He placed his hand on her stomach and rubbed it.

"I love you Liv, good night."

Olivia turned around. "Fitz, I love you. Please get that look off of your face, you will make me cry. I am okay love. I promise." she kissed him softly, "Good night and this time go to sleep, you are the President and you need your rest."

"How did you know I wasn't asleep?" Fitz looked down at her.

"I. Know. You. Now, go to sleep Grant." Olivia turned back over and grabbed his hand and placed it back on her stomach and they both fell asleep.
