I have another weird week this coming week so I hope to have at least 1 update coming as I am only in 2 days next week. I think you guys will like this chapter! Have a great week. :)

It was late at night when Olivia finally returned to the bedroom; Fitz quickly shut off his laptop and put it away. Olivia had noticed over the past few days Fitz would be careful about what is shown out in the open for her to see.

'Is he down?'

'Yep he is super exited for Karen coming home tomorrow; he has a list of all the games he wants to play with her. It's cute'.

Olivia went into the bathroom to get ready for bed and Fitz pulled his phone out quickly to make sure everything had gone through. He needs to get this right this time and he wants everything to be perfect.

'KAARRREEENNNN'

Teddy's squeals could be heard as Karen picked him up and spun him around the room.

'How's my favourite little man?'

'Gooooooood'

Karen chuckled as he ran off into the kitchen.

'Something smells good in here'

'It's your favourite'

'Dad you spoil me'

Whilst Fitz and Liv finished making dinner Karen and Teddy spent time together in the living room playing some of the games that Teddy had picked out for them. Karen kept looking over to her dad and Liv seeing them laughing, kissing and cooking together made her slightly envious of Teddy.

Teddy was growing up in a house filled with love and laughter whilst she grew up with fights and nannies. She knew her dad loved her and Gerry and that if he had a choice he would have picked them over anything but her mom and Grandpa Gerry made sure Fitz couldn't get near them.

Everyone was tucking into their meals when Teddy spoke up

'Mommy when are you having a baby'?

Both Liv and Fitz were caught off guard by Teddy's question and Karen laughed quietly to herself although she secretly wanted to know the answer.

'Why do you ask buddy?' Fitz said as he looked over to Liv to see if she was ok.

'Well my friend Tommy said he was going to be a big brother soon as his mommy was having a baby and I want to be a big brother too. So please can you have a baby mommy?'

'Teddy it doesn't quite work like that' Karen chimed in trying to save her parents from Teddy

'It wont happen soon Teddy but hopefully in the future we will make you a big brother'

Olivia spoke confidently

'YEAH.'

'Oh wait you and daddy have to get married first before you can have a baby. Daddy you need to do something about that.'

Teddy said somewhat sternly making Karen, Liv and Fitz laugh

'I'll get right on that buddy'

After dinner Liv was upstairs bathing Teddy, whilst Karen was looking over the surprise her dad was doing for Liv.

'So what do you think?'

'Dad she is going to love it. It's very Liv. How long until its ready?'

'A month so hopefully it'll be done in time for the dinner at The White House, Susan is helping me set everything up on that end so this is the final detail'.

'Make sure you do it right this time'.

Fitz was about to speak when he saw Liv carrying Teddy down the stairs, they quickly hid what they were discussing making Liv even more suspicious that Fitz was up to something.

'What are you two up to?'

'Nothing' they both replied

'Well it seems this little man wants his sister to read him a bed time story. He doesn't want mommy anymore' Liv said the last part whilst tickling Teddy's stomach.

'Noo stop mommy. I'll always want you mommy'

Liv stopped tickling him and gave him kisses all over his face which Teddy loves.

'Ok little man what are we reading tonight?' Karen said as Liv handed him over

Liv walked over to Fitz who was pouring a glass of wine for her and wrapped her arms around him. He turned around so that he could kiss her and when they broke away they both smiled

'Hi'

'Hi'

They settled down on the couch and put in a movie after reading Teddy 2 stories Karen joined them sitting next to Fitz. Towards the end of the film he noticed that both Karen and Liv were asleep on his shoulder, he smiled to himself thinking this is what his life is supposed to be like. Slowly he eased Karen up into his arms and placed her bed kissing her goodnight on the forehead. He then went to retrieve Liv who instantly curled in his arms, placing her in bed he quickly joined in behind her and pulled her close.

'Mmm love you' she mumbled in her sleep.

He smiled

'Love you too' kissing the side of her cheek twice because one in never enough.

'Liv are you ready the limo is here'

'Yeah give me a couple of mins'

'So have you got it?' Karen asked excitedly

Fitz quickly checked over his shoulder to make sure Liv wasn't coming down and pulled out the ring box from his suit pocket to show Karen.

She squealed when she saw the ring in person. It was even more beautiful than the drawings.

'Dad she is going to love it'

'I hope so. I want this to be perfect for her.'

'Dont be so nervous she is going to say yes. Olitz forever isn't that what you say?'

He chuckled 'Olitz forever'

The sound of Liv's heels coming down the stairs broke their conversation and Karen quickly handed the ring back to Fitz who turned so that he could he put it back in his pocket.

'Woah momma you look pretty'

'Yeah Liv you look amazing'

'Thank you both of you' she bent down to give Teddy a kiss on the forehead

'Fitz' she said quietly

He turned at the sound of her voice calling him and his heart stopped she was breathtaking; she looked stunning in a light blue embellished Zuhair Murad gown. Olivia was making a statement tonight she knew the press would probably criticise her choice of dress for a White House dinner but surprisingly she didn't care. She wanted to look beautiful and sexy for her man and by the look on his face and the slight bulge she could see forming in his pants she had succeeded.

'Wow' he croaked out

She giggled 'Thankyou handsome'

He offered her his arm which she gladly accepted and they headed out the door, Teddy and Karen watched on from the living room both with huge smiles on their faces.

All eyes were on Liv and Fitz as they entered the ballroom were the dinner was being held, Fitz squeezed her hand in reassurance and she instantly felt all her verves disappear as they made their way through to their table.

Fitz left to go get them drinks when she felt a tap on her shoulder

'Laura how are you?'

'I'm good I have to say Liv you look stunning you and Fitz are going to be front page everywhere'.

Liv chuckled nervously

'I just wanted to say thank you for helping me out a few weeks ago, my brother seems to be getting better in private which is all I wanted so thank you.'

Fitz returned shortly and Liv made the introductions, dinner went by smoothly and now Fitz and Liv were dancing like Fitz had always wanted.

'You know we really shouldn't be this close or your hand being where it is mister' she playfully said whilst loving every minute of what they were doing

'I dont care' he replied back causing her to laugh.

'That's not very fitting of a former president'.

'Mmm well I'm being a baad boy'

'Fitz' she whispered

He lowered his head down to meet hers and captured her lips with his. He sought entry into her mouth and his tongue quickly wrapped around hers. Her hands made their way into hers and she felt Fitz tighten his grip on her before leaning her down giving her a Hollywood kiss.

She broke away from the kiss to laugh and cup his face to reignite their kiss. The press were going wild at the pair and they knew they had their money shot right here.

'Where are we going' Liv asked quietly as Fitz was guiding her through the halls of The White House

'It's a surprise'

'You know I hate surprises'

'I do'

'So tell me'

He gave her a peck on the lips

'No'

Liv let out a whine which made him chuckle. Before they got to their destination he stopped her and made her put on a blindfold. Liv gave him a sceptical look

'Trust me'

She placed the blindfold and took his hand as he guided her to their destination. She knew she was outside as she could feel the cold night's air, she felt Fitz place his jacket on her and she inhaled his scent.

'Fitz'

'You can take it off now'

She quickly threw off the blind fold to find that she was in the rose garden, there were fairy lights hanging up all around her and rose petals scattered all around.

'Fitz what is this?'

'This is my do over do over'

'Do over do over?' she laughed

'Olivia Carolyn Pope' He started as he got down on one knee

'You are the love of my life, you own me, you control, I belong to you. I love you I'm in love with you; my every feeling is controlled by the look on your face. I cant breathe without you, I cant sleep without you, I wait for you I watch for you, you are the bravest and strongest person I know. You saved me all those years ago and continue to save me every day.'

'We have had our ups and downs but there is no one in this world I would have wanted to experience them with. Despite everything we have made it here today, seeing you with Teddy and Karen makes my heart soar, being with you every day is the greatest gift and I never want to let you go ever again. I want Olitz forever and I hope you do too.'

'Olivia Carolyn Pope will you make me the happiest man alive and become my wife?'

Tears were streaming down her face, unlike last time she felt no uneasiness, there was nothing overshadowing them, he wasn't forced into this, he wants to spend the rest of his life with her and there is nothing she wants more.

'YES'
