"We will be okay Livvie."
"How can she quit without notice?"
"I'm sure she didn't plan to have a high risk pregnancy."
Olivia continued to pace back and forth in Fitz office. Geneva called letting her know she couldn't be her nanny anymore. Olivia was going to be responsible for her own kids from 6:00 until midnight.
"Cancel your trip."
"You know I can't do that Livvie. I'll be back Friday afternoon."
"That's the whole week. I can't do this by myself."
"You have Lucia from midnight until 8:00 am."
"I know I said we should spend more time with the babies. Not like this. What if they all start crying at the same time?"
"Put on soft music and make them laugh. It will be just like any Saturday or Sunday."
"It's different when we're taking care of them together."
"If you can't handle it, ask Griselda to stay late and Lucia to come in early."
"They can't do that. Griselda is a single mom, and Lucia has to be home with her kids until her husband comes home from work."
"Being stressed will not help your anxiety. Take deep breaths and calm yourself. I need you to keep it together while I'm out of town."
"Fitz."
"If you start to get overwhelmed, call Marcus."
"Are you serious? I can't ask him for help."
"He's your friend Olivia. I'm sure he can talk you through a crisis. I'm letting you know I won't be able to answer the phone if I'm in a meeting. Call Marcus or Shanice if you start to fall apart."
"You're going to be in a meeting after 6:00?"
"You know how this goes Olivia."
"Stay here and we can pay the fine."
"No, I can't risk losing my license, and the fines are really steep."
"I hope you're going to fire Jackie. She's incompetent. The error is her fault."
"I'll give her another chance. She has to learn from mistakes."
Olivia knew arguing was pointless. She was going to be alone this week.
