Everyone is yelling surprise and Liv is having an out of body experience. It's an unexplainable surreal moment she's having. She looks around and tears fill her eyes. The people she loves most in the world are there, for her, and for Fitz. The feeling is overwhelming.
"I can't believe you all are here."
"Are you surprised?" Abby asks.
"Beyond," Liv answers. She looks around the room at her aunts and then to Maya and Bibi who are standing proudly together, "I can't believe this."
"For once the radio star is speechless," Quinn laughs as does everyone else.
Maya walks over with a napkin and in the most motherly way possible, she wipes her tears, "Fitz wanted to surprise you….he wants to marry you ...and he wanted us all here."
"He did all this," she says as her voice cracks.
Bibi walks over, "Yes, and he wouldn't take no for an answer."
"How did you all get here?" Liv says incredulously.
"Lord, has this pregnancy snatched your brain? We flew here! How else did we get here?" Patricia walks up tapping her shoulder. As Candace follows behind.
"You know what I mean…," as she and Patricia hug and Candace joins in. Liv whispers to both of them, "I've missed you."
"We've missed you too..," Patricia responds.
"Yes, we did," Candace answers as they have a three-way hug.
"I hate to break this up, but we have a long night ahead of us. We are sending Liv to married land and we have to send her right," Abby says as she pulls her away from the embrace and sits her down at the head of the dinner table. Liv is looking around in confusion and wonder, all mixed in to one.
"This is not going to be your normal bachelorette party as Fitz made it very clear he wasn't going to pay for a male strippers and we couldn't either," Quinn informs.
"What he doesn't know won't hurt him," Candace says out loud from the end of the tables.
"I am not taking that chance," Abby says, as Liv laughs. "First we are going to have dinner and then I was hoping we could do something a little different before she opens all her naughty presents. I was thinking about the married people , the mothers in this room can tell Liv what to look forward to." Everyone looks at Abby confused.
"She's been married before," Patricia says quizzically.
"Well, that was a trial run. This is the real thing. She's found the man of her dreams. Liv didn't get the pomp and circumstance the first time around. Now she will."
Liv looks in awe of Abby's words, "First, can I say something?" Liv interjects.
"Of course," Abby says.
"I know I keep saying it. And, I'll probably say it all night. I can't believe you are all here. I love you all and I can't believe you love me enough to go through with this crazy idea with Fitz. The last year of my life has been nothing short of a nightmare and then somehow this fairytale happened. And then there's a person growing inside of me...because of this fairytale….I keep waiting to wake up and realize it was never true but it's true."
Her Aunt Margaret clears her throat, "You just need to remember that you deserve it. Don't ever deny yourself that."
Liv wipes a tear as Abby says, "Let's eat this amazing meal that Prince Charming is paying for, 4 freaking courses."
They all laugh as the waiters come in. This has been planned to a science.
Meanwhile across town at Q Bar Restaurant and Jazz Club the fellas have descended on the private patio they've rented out for the night. The drinks are flowing and the laughter is filling the air.
"The man of the hour," Zach says.
"I can't believe you two came here. How did my mom pull this off?"
Oscar steps in, "Easy, she said this is the last time you are ever getting married. And you couldn't do it without your two best friends."
"Your mom hates your ex, I mean she really fucking hates her," Zachary says with a laugh.
"I know," Fitz laughs. They are interrupted by the voice of Marcus.
"Listen up, everyone get you a glass of something," Marcus instructs as everyone gets a glass of something.
Marcus continues, "This man right here is about to marry an incredibly beautiful and damn sexy woman tomorrow. We.."
"Watch it," Fitz speaks up.
"I'm her Stepdad….you watch it," Levi speaks up as everyone laughs.
Oscar whispers, "Well she is sexy...that woman's fine."
"I am going to knock your teeth out," Fitz says jokingly. As Oscar pats him on the back.
"We just want to say, Congratulations man. I know what the last year has been like. I know it's been rough and it's been good. I know how happy you are. I remember when you asked me for the mixed tape so you could woo your girl….."
Harrison interrupts, "So you could drop them panties," he shouts out. He looks over at Levi who gives him the eye. "So you could charm her, I mean."
Everyone is laughing as Marcus continues, "You were nervous but you were determined and tomorrow she's all yours. You are going to put a ring on it. Go get yours tomorrow. You deserve it!"
They all raise a glass to Fitz as everyone drinks and goes back to chatting. Fitz's phone buzzes. He rushes to grab it out of his pocket.
The text reads, from Liv, "I can't believe you did all this."
Fitz responds, "I would do anything for you."
Ricky screams out, "Where are you the strippers?"
"I have to go, your cousin is asking for strippers," Fitz text.
"Who's having strippers? I better be the only stripper you lay eyes on," Liv text back.
"Wait, are you saying you are going to strip for me?" Fitz asks.
"Depends on you Big Boy," She text back
"How about you break free and I break free and we see what you can do?" Fitz finishes.
"Fitz," she texts..Her face is flushed. Fitz's face is flushed.
Zachary yells at Fitz, "Stop texting that woman and come here."
Bibi knows it's Fitz, "Liv, tell Fitz you are in good hands and let you go."
"I have to go ... Promise me no strippers," Liv text.
"I have to go too. You promise me no strippers," Fitz answers.
"We will miss you tonight, holding us," Liv quickly text back.
"Tomorrow night you are both all mine. I love you…"
She text back heart eyes which makes him laugh.
"Again, where are the strippers?" Ricky asks.
"You aren't getting any strippers boy, sit down," Oliver, Olivia's uncle responds.
"No strippers but Destiny is going bless us in dance," Harrison answers.
"Who is Destiny?" Fitz asks.
"You will see," Harrison says.
Charles comes over to Fitz, who is now talking to Cyrus and Levi. Fitz addresses him, "Thank you for coming Charles. I know this was hard for Bonnie."
"Listen Bonnie really likes Olivia. She's happy for you two. Mellie is going to make a big stink about it but you are my friend and I like Olivia too. You both deserve to be happy."
"Thank you," Fitz says, shaking his hand. "And this is my soon to be father in law, Levi Anderson. Levi this is a good friend of mine Charles. We work on a lot of business deals together."
"Nice to meet you," Levi answers shaking his hand.
"Nice to meet you," Charles responds. "Good to see you Cyrus."
"You too," Cyrus answers.
Victoria and her best friend Becky are hanging out by the pool laughing. A few other teenage boys have joined them. They are talking.
"What's your name?" The young man asks.
"What's yours?" Victoria asks back.
"I'm Becky," Becky quickly says to the other boy.
He is quick to oblige as well, "I'm Cody," he answers.
"Nice to meet you," Becky answers.
"So...I picked the stuck up rich girl," the other guy notes.
Victoria gets mad and turns away.
"I'm sorry. I am being an ass. My name is Hunter," he finishes.
"I'm Victoria," she finally settled down.
"Where are you girls from?" Hunter asks.
"LA," Becky wastes no time to share.
"California Girls," Cody jokes.
"From the look of your Louis Vuitton bags there. I would say you are definitely rich girls. I don't know if you are stuck up yet."
"From the looks of your Dolce & Gabbana tennis shoes, I'd say you are pretty rich too. You've already proven you are an ass, so..." Victoria fires back.
"Fair enough," Hunter says. "Hey we know a place here that we can play games. You two want to check it out."
Becky answers for both of them, "Soons cool, yes!."
Victoria hits her arm, "What are you doing?"
"Well, let's go girls," Cody answers.
"I have a bodyguard," Victoria embarrassingly admits. "He has to come with us."
"Damn….who are you?" Hunter says.
"My dad's the rich one, not me. Where are we going?"
Cody steps in, "The resort has a game room. Let's go there and chill."
They all agree. Huck looks on disapprovingly and appears from the shadows and follows them.
Just as they start walking, Victoria's phone rings. She looks down and realizes it is her mother. She shakes her head, not wanting to answer. She knows she better.
"It's my mom. I better answer it." Victoria asks knowing this is about to be a fight. They all agree to give her some quiet. As they walk away and she answers the phone. Huck stops in his tracks.
"Hi Mom," Victoria says.
"Where are you Victoria?"
"I'm with Grandma Mom."
"Yes, and imagine when I found out tonight that your father is getting married behind my back."
"How did you find out?"
"How did I find out? How did I find out your Dad's dirty little secret?"
"Mom, do we have to do this?"
"Yes, we do. You went along with this betrayal Victoria. Do you hate me that much?"
"Mom, I don't hate you. You and dad are divorced." She's visibly getting upset which Becky notices from afar.
"What is it that she has that made you two fall in love with her and abandon me?"
Victoria takes a deep breath, not wanting to hurt her mom, "We didn't abandon you mom."
"What you call this secret wedding? You didn't answer my question. What is it about Olivia Pope?" Mellie asks again.
Dad and I matter to her," She answers. Mellie doesn't know how to answers, she angrily hangs up the phone.
Becky comes over, "Is everything okay? Your mom is pissed isn't she."
"Yes and she's going to make my dad pay for it," Victoria answers. "Come on let's go."
Huck looks on, noticing how upset Victoria is.
Liv and the ladies have finished dinner. They are all chatting. Maya decides to start the little exercise that Abby wanted them to do.
Maya, who is sitting on one side of Liv, grabs her hand and clears her throat to get everyone's attention. "Livvie, I know you probably don't want to hear from me about marriage, considering how me and your father ended. But, I can tell you I married your father for all the right reasons and I've never regretted it. I regret the circumstance but not the man. Marriage is about love, togetherness, happiness and sadness. They'll have a hard time and when it happens, don't run. If you run, run to him."
Liv grabs her mother's hand, knowing exactly what she means. Sandra speaks up, "And Olivia, some people get a second chance and you are getting that. Life gave you hell and now from the looks of it, it's giving you heaven. Marriage is scary. It's uncertain. Enjoy the ride…"
"And enjoy riding him...but you knocked up, so I am gonna say you enjoy that already," Patricia cuts in as everyone laughs.
Liv buries her face in her hand, as does Aunt Margaret, "Sex is an important part of marriage. We all know that, that's how I got that shame over there," she says as she points to Patricia.
"Livvie just keep the sex fun...it keeps him looking forward to coming home after a long day at work.
"OMG Mom, please shut up," Candance answers.
"Aunt Marilee," Liv says shocked.
"Marilee is right, surprise him naked it sometimes. Show up at work in a coat and nothing else. Stroke daddy sometimes, just cause he needs a good petting. He'll keep in for you and only pull it out for you," Aunt Angela adds.
Abby, Quinn, Candace and Patricia look at Liv, like embarrassed kids that just heard too much from their parents.
"And make sure you give it to him the way he gives it to you," Aunt Felicia finishes.
"Who are you people?" Liv asks.
"They are women with experience. You are marrying a Grant man, they come with warning labels. I married the head one. When they love, they love hard. Be sure you are ready to return that love. They make love hard and good. I've heard you and Fitz, you know that," Bibi says as Liv buries her face again.
"I bet they are loud too," Patricia shoots.
Bibi laughs, giving away the answers, " I know you worry about the past, just remember, you are his present and his future. That's all that counts. Embrace it."
Liv gives a consoling smile to Bibi. As Bonnie asks if she can speak up, "Liv, we have a unique situation. I'm friends with Mellie and have grown to really like you. The only thing you need to do is appreciate the man he is. Even the man he's not. He's been underappreciated for a long time. You love him and he's happy. Appreciate each other, that's my advice."
Abby decides to share, "I've never been married but I can only hope that I find a man who loves me completely. If that's not a good reason to get married, I don't know what is. I think I found that guy because I saw what I deserved through you."
Quinn keeps it short and simple, "I ship Olitz...I'm just happy for you two."
"Who is that?" Abby asks.
"Liv and Fitz, their a thing," Quinn answers as everyone laughs.
Liv sits and soaks everyone's words in.
"Now, let's open those presents," Abby says as she grabs Liv and places her in the gift chair. "Does everyone have a gift that Liv shouldn't open in the presence of all of us?"
Everyone raises their hand which causes the room to erupt in laughter.
Fitz is chatting with Uncles Oliver and Anthony, Eli's brothers.
"I am so glad that you all could make it," Fitz says.
"And we are glad that you are paying," Oliver says jokingly. "No, thank you. Eli is proud."
"Yes, he is," Anthony cuts in. "Olivia was his absolute world. Nothing was too good for her but every man was wrong for her," Oliver jokes.
Fitz begins to sweat a little. "Then…."
"You have nothing to worry about, we like you already. You love Cupcake and that much we can see. That's all we can ask for, for her, on behalf of her father."
"Cupcake," Fitz says noticing the nickname.
"Yes, when she was little, she loved cupcakes and when she'd ask, she could never say the word. She would say, pcake, and we laughed. But she loved them."
"Can I call her that?" Fitz asks.
"Not if you don't want her to hit you over the head. The Pope women are good at that."
"I promise you, I am going to love her with all my heart. I already do. And if I ever feel like I'm not doing right by her, I'll kill myself trying."
"You put her first, you've already done right by her. You've done more than Edison ever did." Oliver says.
"We still need to kick his ass," Anthony says.
"I want first dibs at that sorry excuse for a black man," Oliver says. "Fitz, has he ever hit her. Do you know?"
"Liv promises me he never did. But if I ever found out he did, I will beat the shit out of him," Fitz says sternly.
"Are you sure you don't have a little soul in your vanilla skin?" Oliver asks.
"I'm working on it," Fitz says with the proudest grin on his face. He pauses a minute, "IIs she named after you?" Fitz asks.
"Yeah, Eli and Maya were fighting over her name. So, I settled the score for them," he laughs.
Ricky and AJ come over to pull Fitz. Ricky speaks up, "My job is to put you in this chair so you can meet your Destiny."
"Is Liv coming?" Fitz answers.
"For a little while, you are a bachelor….and Destiny is going to entertain you," Ricky finishes.
"I said no strippers," Fitz speaks up.
"She's not a stripper, she's just a Suggestive Dancer," Harrison announces.
"What the fuck is a Suggestive Dancer?" AJ asks.
"Watch your language?" Uncle Franklin slips in.
"You will see," Harrison answers as Ricky and AJ tie Fitz to the chair.
Fitz looks up at Zachary and Oscar, "Save me."
"You are on your own man," Zachary answers.
Just then Destiny appears in the doorway with a candy striper suit on. Harrison hits the music, Nasty Girl by Vanity 6. She starts dancing around Fitz. Everyone is cheering her on as she dances around Fitz, never removing her clothes but dancing to everyone's imagination..Fitz let's her dance around him. He blushes at her dancing her breasts into his face. He closes his eyes and transports himself to he and Olivia's suite and he envisions her in the candy striper dancing around him. For him, fantasy is much better than reality.
Liv is sitting in her chair attempting to open her first present. "This one is from my mom," she says as she opens it. She pulls out the contents and reads what's on the jar. Her eyes grow enormous when she reads each content. "Mommy, you didn't."
"Listen, DC has a lot of great shops for this," Maya explains.
"What is it? What did you get Aunt Maya?" Candance asks.
"Bedroom Kandi Chocolate Body Paint," Liv says aloud.
Everyone cheers at the reveal.
"Mom...you watch Real Housewives of Atlanta," Liv says.
"Listen, Kandi is right. There's nothing wrong with you being your man's snack," Maya defends.
"Maya, seems like Fitz already likes chocolate," Marilee says with a cackle. Her and Margaret high five.
"Nothing wrong with him double dipping the chocolate fudge," Felicia adds.
Everyone laughs. Liv has never seen this side of her aunts. She sits laughing with her friends and family, realizing how much of their closeness she missed with Edison. She spent all of her holidays and "fun" with his family. She missed her family and their closeness and she sits realizing that Fitz has given that back to her. She suddenly feels anxious and overwhelmed. The baby does that little rumble again that they felt that morning in bed. And once again, it catches her off guard each time. She rubs her stomach gently.
"You okay," Bibi asks noticing the rub.
"I'm good, the baby is starting to rumble, it's a real feeling," Liv says to everyone.
"Wait until they start kicking, enjoy the rumble while you can," Aunt Angela adds.
"Aunt Angela, don't curse me. There is no they in there," Liv quickly adds, picking up the next gift. She reads the tag, "This is from Abby."
"Before you open, just know, I am your friend. I love you and I want your wedding night to be extra special."
"I'm embarrassed already," Liv says as she knows what kind of mind Abby has. She pulls out the Teddy and she's all flushed. "Where is the rest of it?"
"That's it! It's the Roman Unwrap Me Satin Teddy. All Fitz has to do is pull the string on the front and that's all she wrote," Abby answers.
Patricia laughs, "Turn it around."
"There's nothing in the back," Liv answers.
"Then Fitz will definitely love it," Bibi confirms.
Liv picks up the next bag and it's from Candace, "Am I going to be embarrassed by this."
"You aren't easily embarrassed, plus this gift is very practical. You couldn't get more practical, I promise," Candace responds.
Liv opens the box and breaks out into a fit of laughter, as she pulls it out, "Gold handcuffs," she announces.
"See, I told you it was practical."
Laughter feels the room once again.
Destiny is giving dances to the others as Fitz is smiling at everyone having fun, while sipping his scotch.
"Where did you go while Destiny was dancing on you? You certainly weren't here," Marcus says walking up.
"I was thinking about Liv. Imagining her in that little suit dancing."
"You really are in love. It's a beautiful thing."
"Marcus, be honest with me," Fitz says worriedly.
"You know me, I'm always honest. What's up?"
Fitz sits his glass of scotch down, taking a deep breath, "Liv is black and I'm white."
"Oh shit, when did that happen?" Marcus says jokingly.
"I'm serious," Fitz says. As Marcus realizes something is bugging him. He nods at him to go on. "I probably should have talked about this before I flew everyone here for a wedding."
"You okay," Marcus asks.
"She told me that our worlds are different. You deal with folks around the office more than I do. They are afraid to upset me so they leave it to yes and no and being overly accommodating. The culture there? Are you comfortable there? I suppose I've never asked. How will people view us?"
"You are a good boss. You've picked some good people to represent you and your work ethic. They are going to be happy you are happy. None of them liked Mellie, so they'll love Liv."
Fitz laughs, "I just don't want Liv to be unhappy or regret marrying me. I don't want to make her life hard. I want to make it better."
"You are a damn genius man. Look around this room. You did all this. You did all this for Olivia. Be happy man, don't worry about the outside noise or whoever has noise. Just worry about what's between you and Liv. That's it!"
Fitz takes a deep breath, "Thank you man," patting him on the back.
"Let's go save these young men from Destiny. You are going to have to get your beauty sleep for tomorrow."
Victoria, Becky and their new friends are laughing, playing games and eating hamburgers and fries.
"So, are you not going to tell me what your father does?" Hunter says to Victoria.
"No, why would I tell you that?"
"Because you want to," He answers.
"What does your father do?" she returns the question.
"My father owns one of the largest wineries in Italy. We are vacationing here," Hunter answers.
"Nice," Becky says as she turns to Cody, "And, what does your dad do?"
"More like my mom," he answers.
Becky looks intrigued, "What does your mom do?"
"She's a clothing designer. Our parents love to vacation together. It's their thing. My other brother is here and Hunter has a sister. She didn't want to come."
"That's so cool. I love clothes," Becky answers.
"And she loves to shop," Victoria teases.
Just then they hear a throating clearing in the distance. Its Huck telling them it's time to go.
"Oh oh, does that mean you have to go back to your cellblock?" Hunter asks.
"Yeah, the wedding is tomorrow. So, we have to go."
"Can I call you some time?"
Victoria looks a little apprehensive, "Okay," she answers
The four of them exchange numbers and they part ways. Victoria really hated to admit it but She liked Hunter. No one had to wonder if Becky liked Cody.
Everyone's made it back to the hotel for the night. Liv has gone to her bridal suite. Everyone else is in their rooms. Fitz has made it to his room. They are both lying in bed kind of looking up at the ceiling, both thinking of each other. Liv is thinking about how crazy the last couple days have been. One minute she wasn't engaged. The next minute she was. Then days later she is now getting married. She couldn't tell what whirlwind she was in she just had to wrap her head around the fact that in a few hours she was going to be Mrs. Olivia Pope-Grant and the whole idea scared her to death. Just as she throws herself back on the bed in anxiety, her cell phone rings. She smiles the moment she sees who it is.
"Hi," she answers quickly.
"Hi beautiful," he responds.
"You are amazing, you know that."
He lays his head back on the bedpost, "I know. I don't mean to brag."
"I can't believe you did all this. You planned all this and my family. Thank you for that."
"Liv, I want nothing more than to marry you but I want you to be happy about it too. I don't want you to look back on tomorrow and curse the day you ever laid eyes on me."
Liv laughs, "I could never do that. That was the best day of my life. You did so much on your own to make this happen. I feel like I didn't do anything to make our wedding special, our day."
"You stand in front of everyone we love saying you love me and pledge to spend your life with me is the only special addition I am looking for. And, I know you love your family. I know family is important to you. I wanted them to share this with you."
She's quiet as he just hears her subtle breaths in his ear.
"Liv, are you happy about this? If you aren't, we don't have to do it."
"Fitz," she says.
"I don't want you to feel pushed. We don't have to do this now," he finishes.
"And what would we tell our families?" She asks.
"That we decided to wait. If you don't want to get married right now, then we won't."
Liv searches for the words that are in her heart, "It's not that I don't want to marry you. I do. I really do. It's just that I spent so many years being a stepford wife. I have to figure out how to be the kind of wife I want to be. "
'I don't want a stepford wife. I want a woman to love and share my life with. I want her to be a woman,her own woman. That's all I want."
"I just want this to be a union," Liv finishes.
"It will be," he assures her.
There is a quietness on the phone. Liv is the first to speak, "You didn't have a stripper did you."
"What if I did?" he chides.
"Then, I'm going to make you hurt physically," Liv answers.
"We didn't have a stripper. We had a Suggestive Dancer," Fitz answers.
"What is that? Do I even want to know? And it sounds like Harrison's idea."
"Yes it was, and she's a dancer that dancers with scanitly close on, never taking it off, but dancing to our imaginations."
Liv lets out a laughter, "How does he find these things?"
"She was good. She was very curvy. She had the perfect ass I could grab while she straddled me. And I love the way her perfectly little breasts bounced in front of me as I snuggled my face between them. And every time she dry humped me, I begged her to let me peel away her clothes with my teeth while I fingered her deep and slow.."
"Are you fucking kidding me?" She answers angrily and loudly. He covered his mouth to not laugh. He loved when she got angry enough to curse.
"Lotus, that was all you," he stops her.
"What?" She says.
"I was just describing you. I closed my eyes when she was dancing and I imagined you dancing for you were suggestive. You were sex kitten. I just let you have your way with me. I have a very vivid imagination," Fitz finishes.
"You are terrible Fitz. I was ready to cut your dick off," Liv finishes.
"Heal girl! You have nothing to worry about, all of me belongs to you and no one else."
She snuggles under the covers, "Good answer Mr. Grant."
"Are you okay?" He turns serious. "Is the baby okay?"
"The baby is fine. I felt a few more rumbles tonight," she answers.
"I hate I missed it."
"That's okay, when the baby starts kicking. You'll have plenty to feel."
There's a cute growl that saunters out of Fitz's lips. Then they are back to a quiet still with each other.
"We better get off," she says.
"Yes, tomorrow, I'll see you at the altar. Will you meet me there?"
"I'll think about it." Liv says with a little girl's giggle.
"I love you," he answers.
"I love you. Goodnight handsome!"
They both reluctantly hang up and spend half of the night imagining the day ahead.
It is the next morning, the wedding day. There is chaos in both hotels as everyone is up and anxious. Bibi and Abby have set up for all the ladies to get spa treatment: facials, and manis and pedis. The men are going to get a little grooming and trimming.
Liv looks around the massive suite and takes in everything. As they are all caught up in whatever the fire is that is burning. Liv takes her purse and sneaks out of the hotel. It isn't until about 30 minutes later, Abby realizes Liv is gone.
"Where's Liv?' Abby asks.
"Isn't she in the bedroom?" Quinn says.
"No, I looked in there. She's not there."
Maya makes her way into the suite, "I have these for Liv," she says passing Abby a bag of candy.
"What are these for?"
"It always keeps him calm. Don't ask me why, it always did when she was little."
"She's not here," Abby answers.
Candace, Patricia, and their moms come in. "Where's the Bride to Be?" Patricia asks.
"She's not here," Abby says as she starts calling her number.
As they all look around, Bibi enters the room and she can instantly see something is wrong. "What's wrong?" She says,
Maya looks at Bibi, "We can't find Livvie."
They all realize at once they should panic and they all start calling her cell phone at once. Bibi is the only one to decide to call someone different, she called Fitz, "Fitz," she says as he answers.
"Honey, is Liv with you? I know you two can't stay away from each other." She asks as Maya realizes Bibi is calling Fitz.
"No Mom, I wish she were with me. Why would she be with me?"
"Nothing," she says quickly not wanting to upset him. "Well we gotta go," she says.
"Mom, where is Liv?" he says in a heightened tone.
She takes a deep breath, knowing it won't work to hide it from him, "She's not here."
"What?"
"She's not here son," she answers.
"Where the hell is she?" He asks. His voice is a fevered pitch. Everyone is immediately alarmed. Fitz is thinking the worst. Why would she leave without saying a word?
Oh no! Liv has left the building. Where did she go? Is she coming back? Happy Holidays! We will find out soon!
