"I'm not saying you can't quit. You need to think about this."
"My baby doesn't know me. I've thought about it all day."
"You want to be home all day with them?"
"Yes."
"And what about when they cry at night?"
"I can handle it Fitz."
He was glad Olivia was handling everything at home. Yet, he wasn't ready to fire Greselda and Lucia. They had been there since the beginning. If Olivia changed her mind, they would have to hire new nannies and that would be an adjustment for the babies.
"Let me think about it Olivia."
"I don't need permission to quit."
"No, you don't need my permission. I'm making sure you don't make an emotional decision. You need to think logically about this. What happens when I have another business trip and you're home alone for a week. How are you going to run errands?"
"I can order whatever I need and have it delivered."
"Can we discuss this when I get back to DC?"
"Fine whatever."
"Go home and help Greselda. You're going to be on your own when she leaves until midnight."
"I know that."
Fitz knew everything would be different when he came home. That was a good thing. They wanted to spend more time with the babies. Yet, he didn't want to be overwhelmed. He could understand Olivia being jealous and taking Everly to her office. He didn't like that she didn't let Greselda check the car seat. He always installed it, and Olivia was putting her pride before Everly's safety.
"Make sure Everly is secure before you drive home."
"Fitz I know that."
He didn't let Olivia know that Greselda texted him. He knew about Olivia taking Everly before Olivia called him ranting. If she knew that, she would fire Greselda on the spot.
"Call me later Olivia."
