Cyrus walked into the oval surprised to see Fitz still there. Ever since he and Liv had married, he made it a point to finish the day as early as possible so he could get home to her. Cyrus knew for a fact that Fitz was finished with the urgent matters of the day, and he was finished with his appointments as well. Something was up.
"What are you still doing here Fitz?" Cyrus asked working his way further into the oval.
"Well Cy it's simple. I have Olivia Grant at home hanging over an emotional cliff. I can deal with the yelling and the crying. That I'm used to."
"So what is it?"
"When she's not yelling or crying she's all over me! Not that I'd mind normally, but I haven't slept in a week!"
"Ok so tell her you need your rest."
"That's the other part of it. I have told her and she respects it, but then I can't control myself and I end up all over her. The things that she does in bed, in the shower, against a wall, hell even here in the oval! The sex is too good!"
"Aaaaagh! Please, spare me the details of your love life. Those days are over!"
"Im sorry Cy, it's just that sex has taken the place of sleep and I want to go home and take her where she stands. But I don't know if I have the strength. She's a lot younger than I am Cy. She's too sexy for my own good! She's gonna be the death of me. I know it!"
"You want to go screw her brains out then do it! Please! Anything to get you to stop talking about it!"
"Hey, you asked!" Fitz said taunting Cyrus.
"Im sorry I did. I should learn to think before I ask next time."
Cyrus looked over at Fitz feeling truly sorry for him. The man must be really in a bind if the sex crazed president's sex life is too sexual even for him!
"Cy, I'll head back to the house once I'm finished with this file."
"You sure you're ok?"
"Yes, I'm fine."
"Ok, then I'm off. I'll see you in the morning."
"Thanks Cyrus."
Cyrus nodded and walked out of the room closing the door behind him. Fitz pressed the intercom.
"Lauren, no more visitors today please. I just need a moment."
"Yes Mr. President." Lauren said before the line went dead.
Fitz threw his head back and moaned. He looked down for a moment then spoke.
"Did you have to keep doing that thing with your tongue even while Cyrus was talking." He said pulling Liv up to her feet.
"Yes. I like watching you squirm." Liv said as she straddled Fitz and lowered herself onto his hardened length.
"Livvie." Fitz moaned as Liv's lips came down on his.
"Yes Fitz."
"Hold on tightly." Fitz said as he stood and sat Liv down on the desk.
He gently began thrusting in and out of her never once taking his eyes off of her face. As her body began to change, her sexual preferences did as well. Fitz studied her reactions to see what Liv would respond to. Today she seemed to be enjoying the gentleness more, so Fitz took his time and continued his gentle yet deep movements. Liv wrapped her legs around Fitz and drew his bottom lip into her mouth.
Fitz picked up his movements once he remembered they were still in the oval, and not everyone had gone home for the day. For Liv, since becoming pregnant, that was the biggest part of the thrill. The danger of being caught turned her on more than anything else ever had before. Even when they were sneaking around it didn't turn her on anywhere near as much.
Fitz continued the motions speeding up as he felt Liv coming close. Liv bit down on her bottom lip to muffle her screams as her orgasm washed over her. Fitz finished a few moments later and pulled her with him back onto the chair.
Liv rested her head on Fitz's shoulder, enjoying the feeling of having his arms wrapped tightly around her. Liv wasn't sure how much longer he'd be able to do this. She was after all almost five months and her belly was growing faster than she could keep up. Once Liv caught her breath, she stood and adjusted her dress while Fitz tucked himself back inside of his slacks.
Liv sat on the desk and looked over at a very tired Fitz. She knew how much he had on his plate and she knew she wasn't helping matters with the sexcapade she had been on for pretty much since their wedding night.
"Honey, why don't we head home so you can get some rest. You look exhausted, and I'm kind of beat too." Liv said looking at her husband who was fighting to keep his eyes open.
Fitz nodded they headed out of the oval. Luckily Lauren was away from her desk at the moment because appearance screamed they just had sex in the oval. They returned to the living quarters and were greeted by a very excited Teddy.
"Mommy, daddy!" Teddy yelled as he ran to the door to greet them.
Fitz picked Teddy up and hugged him, but Teddy didn't want Fitz, he wanted Liv. Liv took Teddy from Fitz and they all sat down preparing to watch Spongebob while they waited for dinner.
Fitz watched Liv and Teddy together and his heart skipped a beat. To Fitz Teddy was his son regardless of paternity, but for Liv to be so loving and in tuned with his ex wife's child amazed him. Seeing the two of them together often made Fitz forget Mellie even existed. The kids never talked about her, they seemed much happier to not bring up the past. Everyone was just focusing on the happiness Liv brought them here and now.
Fitz looked down and realized Liv's feet were a little swollen. He grabbed her legs and placed her feet against his chest and began to massage them. Teddy looked over and saw Fitz rubbing Liv's foot and got mad.
"I rub mommy foot daddy not you!" Teddy said pouting as he grabbed for Liv's foot.
"Teddy, can we share mommy?"Fitz said as he looked at Teddy then at Liv. He remembered Gerry going through something similar when Mellie was pregnant with Karen.
"No! My mommy not your mommy!" Teddy said again ready to cry.
"Teddy, you and daddy have to share me. I love you with all my heart. I love daddy with all my heart too."
Teddy looked at Liv not really wanting to share and pouted. Liv pulled Teddy into her arms and held him. Then she got an idea.
"Hey Teddy, let's talk to the babies ok?"
"Ok." Teddy said as he scooted down so he could see Liv's stomach.
"Hey babies wake up! It's Teddy." He yelled at her belly. Teddy had no idea that Fitz had pulled out his phone, and was recording all of this. It was the first time he had ever seen Teddy interact with Liv's belly.
Teddy waited for a moment, and yelled again for the babies to wake up. Still there was no response. Teddy looked up at Liv and shrugged.
"Babies are sleeping." Teddy said placing his hand on her swollen belly. The moment Teddy touched her belly, one of the babies kicked.
Teddy jumped but put his hand back on Liv's belly. He looked up at her and smiled. "My baby kicka me!" He said with a tiny laugh.
The more Teddy touched Liv's belly, the more they kicked. Teddy finally turned to Fitz who was enjoying the moment Teddy was having with the babies.
"Daddy feel it. Baby kicking" Teddy said grabbing Fitz's hand and placing it gently on Liv's belly. He looked up at Fitz as if to give him a warning.
"Be nice with the babies." Teddy said as he glided Fitz's hand showing him gentleness.
Teddy finally let go of Fitz's hand after Teddy felt Fitz got the hint and looked at Liv's belly. "Did you feel it daddy?" Teddy asked looking up at his father.
"No Teddy, not yet."
"Its ok daddy, you just have to be pacent."
"Patient?"
"Yes daddy you have to be pacent."
Teddy placed his hand next to Fitz's and they both felt a baby move. Liv shifted looking rather uncomfortable, and Fitz thought it best they stop.
"Teddy, lets give mommy a moment to rest. The babies are kicking inside of her tummy. She's not comfortable."
Teddy looked up at Liv and saw her wincing. One baby kicking she could do, two babies were slightly uncomfortable, but when Teddy got to playing and talking to them, all three would begin to move. Liv loved feeling them move, but now at five months, they were growing fairly big for her body, and it was becoming rather uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry I make babies hurt you mommy. I kiss it make it all better." Teddy said as he kissed Liv's belly.
Liv looked at Teddy who was clearly upset Liv was hurting.
"Teddy, you didn't do it. The babies just love you so much and they can't wait to meet you. It's not your fault." Liv said hugging the child.
Fitz helped Liv up and they made their way over to the dinner table. After they finished their dinner, Fitz handed Teddy over to Helga so she could give him his bath and get him ready for bed. Liv normally bathed and dressed Teddy, but the triplets were making normal tasks a lot harder to accomplish.
Liv watched as Helga walked away with Teddy and she began to cry. Fitz looked at her unsure of what was upsetting her but he knew he'd better address it.
"Livvie what's wrong?"
"I cant do anything Fitz! I use to bathe and dress Teddy and rock him in my arms. Now I'm to big to kneel by the tub! I'm too huge to take care of him!" Liv sobbed even harder.
"Livvie, you are not huge, in fact the doctor even said that you need to start gaining weight. You are all baby."
"Im huge Fitz! Im a big fat whale and pretty soon you won't even want to touch me!"
"Livvie, you are all baby. You are five months pregnant, and you've only gained ten pounds. With triplets! And trust me, I get aroused just thinking about you. I will never stop touching you Livvie." Fitz said trying to reassure his wife.
"In fact, since Helga has Teddy, what do you say we head over to the bedroom and get a little more comfortable. I have a feeling you could use a massage." Fitz said as he tilted Liv's head upwards and wiped her tears away. Liv looked at Fitz and she felt a calm come over her.
"So you don't think I'm hideous?" Liv asked trying to stifle her cry.
"Of course not Livvie. You are the most gorgeous creature I have ever laid eyes on. You get more and more beautiful everyday. You are positively glowing! Don't be surprised if im all over you before your massage is over."
Liv smiled and kissed Fitz. He always knew how to make her feel j. beautiful even when she saw the mirror reflecting what she thought to be something different. Twenty weeks pregnant, Liv realized she was only at the halfway point. She definitely needed these babies to come soon.
Liv took Fitz's hand and followed him into the bedroom. He started a bath for her and filled it with bubbles. He grabbed two wine glasses and a bottle of sparkling grape juice from the minibar and took them into the bathroom as well. He decided to shuffle through his iPod and put on a little classical music. Chopin was the mood for tonight and Fitz pushed play.
He went back to Liv and began to undress her slowly, making sure to kiss her as much as possible. He took her by the hand and led her into the bathroom, and helped her into the tub.
Once Liv was settled into the tub, he began to bathe her slowly making sure he didn't miss a single spot. He took his time and was gentle with her. Liv laid back and enjoyed the attention Fitz was giving her.
"Why don't you join me?" Liv asked looking up at Fitz.
"Not tonight. Tonight, this is about you. Now relax and enjoy." Fitz said as he continued bathing his wife.
Once he finished, he reached for a towel and helped Liv out of the tub and dried her off. He led her into the bedroom and laid her down. He decided to turn down the lights, light a few candles and start the fireplace setting a relaxing mood.
Fitz came back to the bed and reached for a bottle of massage oil. He applied the oil to his hands, making sure to warm it first before he reached for Liv's foot and began massaging her entire body. Fitz made sure to spend extra time on her feet and ankles, her legs, her hips, and her shoulders.
He pulled Liv up to a seated position, sat behind her, and began to massage her back. For some reason the exhaustion that plagued him earlier was set aside so he could give his wife the attention her body needed. When Fitz was finished, he stood up and walked over to the closet, and emerged with a night gown and panties for Liv. He dressed his wife and laid back on the bed, pulling her with him. Fitz just laid there holding Liv and caressing her hair until she fell asleep.
As hard as it was for Fitz to control himself, he knew he needed to let Liv know that she was still sexy. He also knew that showing someone how sexy they were didn't always have to include sex. Fitz succeeded in making his insecure wife feel like she was the sexiest woman in the world.
Once Liv entered a deep sleep,Fitz eased his way out of the bed and jumped in the shower. After he had gotten a pair of pajama bottoms on, he went and checked on Teddy who was already asleep. He kissed his son on the forehead and tucked him in before returning to the bedroom and climbing into bed with Liv. He looked over at the clock and realized it was only 10 pm. Fitz would definitely get some much needed rest tonight.
Fitz woke up feeling refreshed and rolled over to hold Liv but she wasn't there. He looked at his clock and noticed it was 7 am. He jumped up out of bed and went to find Liv.
He walked through the house, finally finding her in Teddy's room. Liv was sitting in the corner rocker watching him sleep. Liv looked up and saw Fitz and tried her best to smile.
"Do you think Mellie misses them?" She asked returning her eyes to the little boy.
"I'm not sure. She carried all three of them, I cant imagine she wouldn't." Fitz said feeling his heart tighten at Liv's tone.
"It's just that I couldn't imagine being away from any of them. Gerry and Karen being away kills me. I wonder if it bothers her to not see them."
"Livvie, Mellie did something terrible, for every action there's a reaction. Sometimes in the form of praise, and other times in the form of punishment. Mellie's action warrant her punishment. The children are happier with you than I've ever seen them. Gerry and Karen are honor roll students, and Teddy is more outgoing."
Liv looked down and placed her hand over her belly.
"You know in a few months we are going to have six children running around. I just hope I can be a good mom."
"Livvie, you are already a great mom. I've never seen anyone respond to children the way you do. Seeing you and Teddy together, I get choked up every time. You are the perfect mother. When these three come along, you will be an even greater mom." Fitz said with tears in his eyes.
Liv looked at Fitz and her eyes brightened. He walked over to her and kissed her good morning.
"What's on your agenda for today?" Fitz asked rubbing Liv's belly.
"I'm having lunch with my dad, then Teddy and I are going to have a playdate with James and Ella." Liv said hoping Fitz wouldn't press the subject of the leaving the White House.
"Okay, but can you do the playdate here? I haven't seen our goddaughter in weeks. I'd love to see her." Liv nodded at Fitz and stood to give him a proper good morning kiss.
Liv broke the kiss against Fitz's wishes and grabbed his hand pulling him towards the dining room.
"Breakfast is waiting and you have a long day. Sit and eat. You need your strength."
They sat and ate breakfast together, and Liv got Fitz ready for his day. Once he was out the door, Liv alerted her staff she would be over later in the afternoon, and that they were going to have a light day.
Liv got Teddy dressed and placed with him for a while then handed him over to Helga so she could get ready for her day.
Finally dressed and realizing her shoes actually matched, Liv called Tom and notified him she was ready to go. Tom helped Liv through the corridors and into the SUV that was waiting for her. She sat in the back holding a folder and kept opening it to make sure all of the papers were still inside.
The arrived at Acme Limited not too long after, and Tom escorted Liv out of the car and inside. He walked her to her father's office and stayed there as they walked down the hall and over to Mellie's cell.
"Liv, maybe you should let me go in first. Just to be sure she's properly restrained."
"Dad, will you allow anything to happen to me ever?"
"No Livvie, of course not."
"Then I'm fine." Liv said as she opened the door and walked inside.
Mellie jumped at the sight of Liv terrified she was heading back to the hole again. She knew she'd better be on her best behavior. Mellie's eyes quickly focused on Liv's growing belly. She knew at that moment it was game over.
"Madame First Lady, what brings you here today?" Mellie asked scooting further away from an seemingly irritated Liv.
"I have something for you." Liv said looking at Mellie. Her gaze initially was one of disgust, but softened when she looked at the folder.
Liv handed the folder to her father who opened it and looked inside before handing it to Mellie. Mellie hesitated for a moment before opening the folder and looking at the contents. Inside were copies of Karen and Gerry's report cards, along with pictures each one of the children had drawn, and a current picture of the three of them. Mellie began to cry and looked up at Liv.
"Why are you being so kind to me?" Mellie asked afraid of what would come next.
"You are their mother." Liv said flatly. Her glance was almost as cold as her tone. "In spite of how you neglected them when you were around, you did carry them inside of you. You felt them grow and kick. You gave them life. Surely you must miss them."
"Thank you Olivia." Mellie said as she looked through the folder. Mellie returned her gaze to Liv.
"Please tell me something. Are they happy?" Mellie asked with tears in her eyes.
"Yes."
"Do they ask about me?"
"Yes." Liv lied.
"Do you love them?"
"More than life itself."
"Then that's all that matters." Mellie said looking at Liv with a grateful glance.
Rowan placed his arm around Liv's waist.
"It's time." he said looking down at his daughter. He knew if she were in the room much longer, she'd fight to have Mellie released.
Liv looked at Mellie one final time. Mellie looked up at her.
"Thank you Olivia."
Liv nodded and walked out the door. As much as she hated the thought of Mellie right now, she couldn't allow that hate to change her. Since she couldn't kill her with meanness, she'd kill her with kindness.
Liv continued the rest of her day and went home to meet James and Ella for their playdate. When she returned, she walked in to a very angry Fitz.
"What the hell were you doing at Wonderland?" Fitz spat holding up pictures of Liv entering the building hours before.
Liv laughed in a way that shocked Fitz
"OLIVIA WHAT WERE YOU DOING THERE!" Fitz spat again.
Liv walked over to Fitz and kissed him on the cheek.
"I was being the better mother." Liv replied and walked off leaving Fitz speechless in the middle of the room.
