To answer a reader's question, no this is not the end of the story. This the beginning of their life together. Fitz and Olivia are two people who love each other but live in a very messy world. I believe Olivia and Fitz are End Game. Thank you so much for your reviews. :)
++++++++++++++++ One Minute ++++++++++++++++++++++
After two hours of wrangling Olivia arrived at an agreement with the Attorney General. In return for his full cooperation Harrison would receive a misdemeanor for insider trading. In return he would testify against Adnan, in a closed court. The court records would be sealed to protect him from the cartel.
Olivia stretch feeling tried and drained. She had no idea what was going on outside the hotel. All she could hear was sirens and the sound of soldiers moving in the halls for the past two hours. Stephen and Huck was placed in a different room waiting to start their interviews.
Olivia was glad she delayed leaving the room until the government allowed her to speak to the Attorney General again. They tried to remove Harrison's plea deal wanting him to serve prison time. Olivia refused to back down and went to war to save Harrison, reminding them of his bravery. After a lot of arm twisting Olivia finally had a deal for Harrison.
"Miss Pope are you ready for your interview now?" Tom said waiting outside the conference room. He left her there to work out Harrison's plea deal.
Olivia gave him a tired smile, "Yes I am ready to be interviewed now that my friends are safe."
"I will let the President know we're on the way." Tom took her up the stairs to the Presidential Suit. When he opened the door the first person waiting on the other side was Fitz.
Fitz stared at Olivia; his eyes said what he couldn't express in a room filled with Secret Service agents, and military officials. "Hi."
Olivia swallowed the knot in her throat whispering "Hi" in return. She stared at Fitz's tear filled eyes. She loved him and he loved her, everything else didn't matter.
Tom touched Fitz's arm to regain his attention. "Right this way Sir, time for the interview." Fitz and Olivia followed Tom out of the President's suite down a long hallway filled with soldiers.
Once they were inside a large conference room Tom locked the door. He handed Fitz a few papers, "I told your staff not to disturb us for 45 minutes unless it was an emergency. I made copies of the files for Miss Pope as you requested."
After Fitz gave approval, Tom handed a copy of the files back to Olivia, "The suite's conference room is currently used by the military command. I decided to set up the interviews in this room. Sorry if I am a bit slow, I am starting to feel rather tired." Tom looked at Fitz giving him a nod in silent agreement.
Fitz smiled at Tom, "Tom you have been working for over 12 hours. Go and sleep, I will start Miss Pope's interview. I will see you soon. Have a nice rest."
Tom grinned in return, "Thank you Sir, see you in a few hours and you also Miss Pope." With a slight wave Tom closed and locked the door behind him.
Fitz didn't wait for the lock to click before reaching for Olivia, "Livvie, my sweet baby." Pulling her in his arms he kissed her deeply. He ran his hands over her back needing to touch, to reassure himself that she was really here. That she was safe with him again.
Olivia felt the warm comfort of Fitz's arms, and sighed in relief. The stress of the entire day, hell the entire year felt lifted from her shoulders. She never wanted to leave his arms. She never wanted to know a life that did not include Fitz. She never stopped loving him and never will.
Fitz pulled her to the sofa against the wall. She curled up in his arms laying her head on his shoulder. "Olivia I thought I lost you, I never want that pain again, I love you Livvie."
Olivia linked their hands together making sure every inch of their body was connected. She was safe in the arms of the man she loved. "I love you Fitz, I don't want one minute, I want forever. I am yours for all eternity."
Fitz lowered his lips to hers, lost in the joy of holding the love of his life. He thought of all the people working so hard to keep them apart. He would not let them win. Olivia was his Raison d'être. He loved her and she loved him. He had his Sweet Baby; his heart was now at peace.
Olivia smiled and relaxed into his arms. She felt him sliding the zipper of her dress as he kissed every inch of her. The world outside was still going to hell but she didn't care. All that mattered was the crystal blue eyes gazing at her with love and devotion. She and Fitz are forever, they would make it work because their love was worth it.
