It's been two years since it all happened. It's been two years since Liv's life was turned upside down. It took some time. It took some talking it through but they made it through. Their family has expanded and they had to wade through a little marital discord but they seem to be on a little better footing.

Liv is sitting in her office in Beverly Hills. It's hard to be home right now with little ones. Her editor comes in, "Permission to enter."

Liv turns away from her laptop, "Anytime," she takes a sigh.

"You okay," Eleanor asks.

"I think so. I think I am just tired but I get a lot more done here."

"What's going on with you and Fitz?" Eleanor asks.

"What do you mean? Nothing is going on," Liv says unconvincingly.

"Olivia, I've known you long enough now to know that no two people are more in love than you two. No one else exists and ever since everything that happened...then the trial..," Eleanor stops.

Liv lets out a breath. She's been trying to hide it but it had taken a toll on Liv and Fitz for a while. "Our sex life."

"We don't talk about your sex life but I've always figured you two have an amazing sex life considering," Eleanor answers.

"After what happened with Stephen, I don't know, sex was just robotic for me. I couldn't get into it. I couldn't enjoy it and I wouldn't say anything to Fitz, I'd just do it. Then I was happy I was pregnant and could avoid sex as much as possible."

"I thought you were seeing a therapist," Eleanor says with concern.

"I have been and I feel terrible. Fitz was extremely patient. He understood what was happening for me and he never complained. Everything just started weighing down on me. Stephen, Jake, even Edison. Intimacy just became hard. All of a sudden it was the last thing I wanted or felt like I needed."

"Have you told Fitz this?"

"You know how busy we've been with the kids and work and Fitz building the project Maui. We've been too busy," Liv explains.

"You have to talk to Fitz. You are a therapist, you know that."

"I know I just, I feel like the best mother and the worst wife these days."

"You are a wonderful wife and amazing mother. Fitz loves you and he will understand what you are feeling," Eleanor says.

"I know he will and I think he knows what's wrong but he doesn't want to upset me. He doesn't want to make me talk about something I'm not ready to talk about. I throw myself into the kids and hope that it covers the problems or my problem."

"You are taking the next couple of weeks off," Eleanor announces.

"Why?" Liv says confusingly.

"Because you and your family need it. Take as many weeks as you need but you need to work on your family," Eleanor says.

"You know how busy I've been. I really can't afford to take off right now. The podcast and the column is so busy right now."

"I don't care. It can survive without you while you straighten up your home. You see this, this is who you are," Eleanor says pointing at a picture of Liv and Fitz and the kids.

Just as Liv is about to speak, there is a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" Liv asks.

"Delivery for you Mrs. Grant," the voice says.

"Come in," she says as they wait for the delivery to come in.

The delivery person comes in with a large bouquet of roses. Eleanor looks at her, "I can bet who those are from."

Liv stands up at her desk, "Sit them right here. Thanks Joe," she says. He sits the roses down and Liv takes the note off. She opens it. The note is simple and straight to the point.

I love you, Fitz

Liv holds the note to her heart. Eleanor looks at her, "So are you going to take me up on my offer?"

"Yes, I will. You are right. But I think me and our family need to go away for a while."

"Do it. Stop using your amazing work as an excuse to run away," Eleanor says.

"Yes mom," Liv laughs.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Liv smiles, "I guess I have a family trip to plan."

"Yes, finish up here. I'll take care of your substitute. I am serious, take as long as you need."

Liv looks at Fitz's note and then up at Eleanor, "I need to make a call."

"Okay…good luck!" Eleanor says as she leaves, closing the door.

Liv picks up the phone, calling Fitz. He doesn't answer right away. Fitz picks up the phone, "Hi," Fitz says.

"Hi," Liv smiles. She can't help the emotion in her voice, "Thank you. I love them. I love the note more than the flowers."

"I love you more than anything. I mean that," Fitz stresses.

There is an awkward silence that's been between them for a while that neither of them are comfortable with. "I would love to take you on a date tonight," Liv surprises. She starts to ramble, "I know you are dealing with the Hawaii deal but.."

Fitz stops her, "I was going to call and ask you the same thing. I would love to go on a date with you," Fitz answers. He stops for a moment, "We need to talk. I know something is wrong and I want to fix it." Fitz answers.

"I thought I was the fixer," Liv smiles.

"You are until you need me and I know you need me," Fitz answers. "I want my Sweet Baby."

"I do need you. I'll always need you," Liv says with a tear that streams down her face.

"Livvie," he starts.

"I love you so much," Liv answers.

"That's a good start," Fitz smiles.

"I have to see if someone can keep our little monsters. How about our favorite place? Maestro's," Liv says.

Fitz chuckles, "My children are not monsters. They are just very zealous and Maestro's sounds perfect. A little mood lighting, a secluded corner, and you."

"We haven't had much time alone have we?" Liv says.

"I'll take you anyway I can get you, alone of course," Fitz says.

"I am going to call Quinn and Charlie. They want to get into the practice of parenthood. This is a good way to start," Liv chuckles.

"They would love it," Fitz says as Brittany comes in reminding him that his meeting in the conference room has started. "Baby, I have to go but I'll see you at home. I want to take my beautiful wife out in style," Fitz says.

"Fitz it's just dinner," Liv laughs.

"We haven't had a date night in a long time. I think it's time," Fitz answers. "So, I am going to spoil you."

"Okay, see you at home," Liv says as they hang up. Liv gets on her laptop and starts looking for places they need to go. Then she stops, thinking she knows the perfect place. She doesn't even have to search again.


It's been a hamster wheel for Liv and Fitz for the last two years. They've been working hard. Fitz has been traveling because Grant Realty has grown exponentially. Liv's name has grown even more in popularity. To top it off, Liv and Fitz have also been trying to be mother and father of the year. Their house is full of the patter of little feet. Liv's pregnancy went swimmingly and imagine the shock at 12 weeks into her pregnancy, she and Fitz would get a shock. She can remember it like it was yesterday…

They are in for their ultrasound. They are in their 12th week and Dr. Slauson wants to see the progression. She purposely turns the volume down on the ultrasound so she can speak to them. She can see what's happened the moment the visual came into view. They can both tell something is wrong.

"You can tell us if something is wrong with the baby. I think we can handle it. I hope we can handle it," Liv says.

"Just tell us, doctor," Fitz says as he squeezes Liv's hand tighter.

Liv looks at him with the saddest eyes he's ever seen, "Fitz," she whispers.

Dr. Slauson just starts to laugh at them. Liv and Fitz look at her completely confused. At this point, Fitz is now annoyed.

"Did we miss the punchline?" Fitz asks.

"I am sorry, that's very unprofessional of me. It's just that...I'm sorry. There is nothing wrong with the baby. The baby is healthy and so is its twin," Dr. Slauson answers.

Liv and Fitz both breathe a sigh of relief. "Oh thank God," Liv says as she whips her head back to Dr. Slauson's direction. "What did you say?"

Fitz finally zones in on the same words, "Did you say?" He asks Dr. Slauson.

"Yes, I supposed that's why I am laughing. This is very rare that I have someone have multiples and get pregnant with another set."

"We're having twins," Liv says. Her eyes have grown as big as saucers as she looks at Fitz.

Fitz is now just staring at the monitor, "Twins," he repeats.

"And they look very healthy, take a listen," Dr. Slauson says as she turns up the volumes. For a minute it sounds like the heartbeat is one then you can hear both

"Oh my God," Liv says and she's crying at this point. She is not able to hold it in.

"And it looks like," Dr. Slauson starts as she moves the wand around Liv's belly, "It looks like we are looking at identicals again."

"Can you tell what they are?" Fitz asks.

"No, it seems they have their little bums turned to us. I guess they aren't in the mood for exposure today," Dr. Slauson laughs as she looks at Liv who is obviously stunned, emotional and happy all at the same time.

"But they are okay," Liv asks worriedly.

"Yes they are and I am sorry but I was pretty shocked and I shouldn't have reacted that way and scared you two"

"What are we going to do with twins?" Liv exasperates.

Fitz can't help but throw his head back and laugh, "We are going to take care of them."

Liv hits his shoulder, "This is not funny Fitz. What are we going to do with 3 ½ year old twin girls and newborn twins?"

Fitz places a kiss on her lips. "It's going to be great."

"Don't touch me ever again. After the babies are born we are getting separate bedrooms."

Now Dr. Slauson finds this to be funny. She is trying to hold in her laughter. "Baby you are just in shock. We are going to be fine," he says trying to kiss her again.

"I mean it. We are never having sex again, EVER," she punctuates.

Dr. Slauson clears her throat, "From my calculations, you are looking at a delivery date of April 1st."

Liv looks at Dr. Slauson in disbelief again, "April Fools...that's what it feels like."

Dr. Slauson laughs, "Do you want a picture of the ultrasound?"

"You have to get neutered," Liv says looking at Fitz.

and Fitz laugh. He looks at the doctor, "Yes, we would like a copy of the photos."

She hands them copies of the photos, "Okay, then I am going to let you get dressed and I'll be back so we can talk about what's next, although you two are old hats at this now."

Liv shakes her head, "Thanks so much doctor."

"Thank you doctor, "Fitz says as she leaves out.

Liv is looking at the ultrasound screen just staring at the image. "I can't do it," she says.

He can tell she's shell shocked, "Baby, you are the best mother in the world. And..we have the best support system in the world. We are going to be fine."

"Fitz, two sets of twins. It's crazy and it's scary."

"It is crazy and it is scary but it's going to be amazing. We made two more babies together," Fitz says proudly.

"I don't want to let them down," Liv says worriedly.

"You won't let them down. We won't let them down," Fitz says as he traces her face.

Fitz reaches down and kisses her stomach. "I'm your daddy. And you are living in the best hotel in the world right now. We can't wait to meet you two."

Liv watches the picture before her and she can't help but swoon. "I'm never going to sleep again."

"You think it's girls or boys...or maybe one of each," Fitz asks.

"We will see soon," Liv says as it's setting in that her and Fitz have increased their family. She starts to cry.

Fitz reaches up and kisses her, "I love you so much."

"I'm serious. I want your balls put in a box. I never want them near me again," Liv says.

"I know you are worried but we are going to be fine. We are going to make our wonderful family even better," Fitz says.

Liv smiles but the worry on her face is evident.

As if it were some joke, Liv and Fitz welcomed two very healthy baby twin boys into their family on April 1st. Fitzgerald Thomas Grant the IV was born at 3:12am at 5 lbs and 4oz. Foster Theodore Grant was born at 3:15am at 5lbs and 1oz. Now at a year and a half, they are splitting images of their father. The girls are a blend but the boys are Fitz through and through. But they are the lights of their lives. She can't imagine her life without their children and she couldn't be more grateful for them.

Liv is so immersed in her memory, she doesn't feel the weight of the girls coming at her. "Mommy, Mommy,..." she hears.

The image is adorable, both girls grabbing at both of her legs pulling for dear life. "There are my girls." Liv notices that the boys are in the playpen.

"Mommy, Tommy hid under the table today," Ellie announces as she pulls the girls with her to the pen.

"Did he? Did you get him out and help him? You are the big sister," Liv says as she reaches down and kisses Christina. "And what about you little lady? Did you take care of your brothers?"

"No, Mommy, I didn't," she answers honestly.

Liv looks over at the boys who are in between sleep and wake. Rosie comes in the room, "Hello Mrs. Grant."

"Where is Polly?" Liv asks the nanny.

"I was cooking dinner and realized I didn't have a few things. She offered to get them for me. Since the boys were asleep. I told her it was okay. I think she needed a little break," Rosie answers.

"That's fine but you don't have to worry about dinner for me and Mr. Grant this evening. We are going to have a date tonight," Liv says proudly as she watches the girls at their little desk coloring.

Rosie starts to go out of the room. She turns back. "I am glad. You two need a little ," she says alone time," as she walks out.

Liv stands there in her thoughts for a moment. "Mommy are you leaving again?" Ellie asks.

"Oh no baby, why would you think I am leaving again?" Liv asks.

"Mommy only went to work today but she's home tomorrow. You and your sister and your brothers have me all to yourself," Liv explains.

"Mommy can you help me?" Christina asks.

Liv walks over, "Sure baby," Liv answers as she walks over.

"Can you draw a house for me?" Christina asks.

Liv laughs, "Mommy can't draw but she can try." Ellie is still standing, looking a little sad. These are the moments that Liv were afraid of. "Christina, how about I read to you and your sister? That's something we can do together." Ellie's face lights up. Christina agrees. "Let's go by the pool so your brothers can sleep."

They get up and go to the pool and Liv gives them her undivided attention. They talk about everything that their little minds can think of. Liv knows they have been feeling a little neglected with the boys now being there.

Fitz comes in. He can see it's unusually quiet. He goes into the playroom to find Foster standing on the side of the playpen. He squeals at the sight of daddy. "There's my little slugger," Fitz says kissing the top of his head. "Where's your mommy and sisters?" Fitz asks.

Teddy just squeals as he chews on his teething ring. He picks him up, walking with him. Rosie comes in to check and sees him, "Hello Mr. Grant!"

"Where is Mrs. Grant and the girls?" Fitz asks.

"They are out by the pool. You want me to take him," Rosie asks.

"No, I got him. Where is Polly?" Fitz asks.

"She should be back soon. She went to run some errands for me.

"My parents are coming over tonight to help with the kids. I am taking Liv out to dinner. I think we need it," Fitz says.

"I don't mean to speak out of turn sir," Rosie starts. "I think you do too."

"Don't worry about us Rosie. We are going to be okay," Fitz says. "Let me know if my little cookie monster over there wakes up," Fitz says as he goes toward the pool area.

Fitz makes his way to the pool area to hear Liv laying on the chair with the girls snuggled into Liv's side surprisingly fast asleep. Fitz just smiles at the sight of the ladies in his life. Teddy starts to yabber. Liv turns around to see Fitz and Teddy standing there. "Hi," she says.

"Hi," Fitz smiles as he reaches down and kisses her. He then kisses the girls. "Most beautiful sight in the world."

Foster is reaching for Liv. He grows a little irritable and she can't pick him up. "Hey my handsome man."

"How about I put the girls down?" Fitz offers.

"That would be great," Liv says as they both realize they don't have enough hands.

"Let me get Rosie," Fitz says as he and Foster start to walk and Foster starts to cry for Liv.

"I think I have a better idea," Liv says as she gets up slowly, letting the little girls lay there. "I'll take him." Liv takes him and Foster immediately calms down. "Now…"

Fitz immediately gets it, "Good thinking Mommy!" Fitz starts bringing the girls inside and lays them down one by one. Fitz brings his namesake with him as he makes his way back out to the pool. He sits down in the chair next to Liv. Tommy reaches over to get to his mommy. Fitz places him in Liv's other free arm.

"Did you two have a good sleep?" Liv asks as she kisses their head.

"What's wrong?" Fitz says.

"Nothing is wrong. How was your day?" Liv asks as she juggles both boys.

"Liv," Fitz says.

"I was thinking maybe we should skip dinner. The kids are…"

Fitz stops her, "No, we shouldn't skip dinner. We need to talk. We need to...we need to do this," Fitz finishes.

"They are a handful," Liv says as she can't help but laugh at the expression on Tommy's face, looking at her.

"Yes they are. My parents are coming over to help out. They think we need this too," Fitz says.

Liv takes a breath, "I am sure Rosie, Polly, and your parents will be able to handle them."

"Yes they can," Fitz says as Tommy is reaching for him, grabbing at his face.

Teddy is climbing all over Olivia, "You missed Mommy," she says kissing his head.

"I love the way they light up when they see you. They are definitely my boys," Fitz says.

"How so?" Liv smiles.

"You light up their lives, just like you do mine," Fitz says.

"Don't ever lose your charm Mr. Grant," Liv smiles.

"As long as I have you, I won't," Fitz answers as they leave and take the boys inside.


Liv makes a deal with Fitz that she would sit with the girls while they have dinner. She felt like she needed that little bit of time with them. Fitz's parents arrive, naturally with gifts in hand. No grandchildren are more spoiled than these kids are.

"Dad, you can't keep bringing toys. We have nowhere to put them. Between you and Mom and Maya, it's out of control."

"They are my grandchildren. They bear my name. They need gifts," Big Gerry says as he keeps walking. "Where's my beautiful daughter-in-law?" He says.

"She's in the kitchen feeding the girls," Fitz says kissing his mother. "Mom we have to stop him."

"I have stopped trying to have that battle. He's retired. He has nothing to do but spoil them rotten. You two have to stop having kids or he goes back to work," Bibi suggests.

"We are definitely not having any more children and he can't come back to work," Fitz smiles.

Bibi can see those frown lines on his face when she mentioned having kids, "How is Liv?"

Fitz's face saddens a little, "She's okay I guess."

Bibi takes her son's face in her hands, "She's been going through something but she loves you. Don't worry about that."

"I know she loves me. She's my whole life. Her and our kids mean everything to me," Fitz says.

"And you and the kids mean everything to her," Bibi assures him.

Fitz takes a breath, "I just don't want to lose my family."

"Look at me," Bibi says. Fitz turns to her, feeling like he's a sad 6 year old at this moment. "You aren't going to lose your family. Take your wife on this date and talk to her. Get her to talk."

"She's trying to deal with everything on her own, even what she's feeling. I can't make her talk," Fitz says. "I am trying to be patient but I want my wife back."

"It's going to be okay, "Bibi says again.

"There you two are," Liv says, startling them both. She goes over to Bibi giving her a kiss, "Hi Mom."

Bibi quickly covers, "Yes, I am just trying to talk my son into letting his father come back to work like a consultant. It will keep him from shopping for the kids."

Liv laughs, "That's a great idea."

"No it is not," Fitz speaks up. "Are the girls done with dinner?"

"Yes and they are happily playing with what your dad bought them. I don't know what it is," Liv laughs. "The boys are on the floor crawling over dad," Liv finishes.

"We better try to make our escape," Fitz says.

"Yes, let me freshen up and I'll be ready. I don't want us to be late," Liv says.

"It's okay, I told them we are running late. They are going to hold the table for us," Fitz says.

Liv smiles, turning to Bibi, "Thank you so much for coming to help."

"I can't think of a better way to spend the evening than with our beautiful grandchildren."

"I better go make sure the boys didn't sneak cookie dribble all over me and I'll be ready," Fitz says, excusing himself.

"I better go freshen up too," Liv says, turning to leave.

Bibi stops her, "He's afraid he's losing you," she says.

Liv turns to her, "What?"

"My son is scared to death he's going to lose you and his family," Bibi furthers.

"Why would he think that?" Liv says, surprised by Bibi's words.

"I don't know exactly what's going on. I just know you haven't been yourself and you don't look happy. I think he thinks you aren't happy with him," Bibi explains.

"I love him," Liv defends.

"I know you do. He needs to really hear that," Bibi suggests. Liv has been waterworks since she was pregnant with the boys and even after, the tears are falling quickly. Bibi rushes to her, "Don't cry. Just talk to him."

Liv starts upstairs, "Thanks Mom," she says as she disappears.


They are sitting at dinner. It's their favorite table. They are eating their appetizer, trying to not start the conversation they both know they need to have. Liv is rolling her fork around. At the same time they both break the ice.

"I love you…," Liv says.

"Are you happy with me?" Fitz says.

They both kind of laugh and breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

"You go first," Fitz says.

She doesn't hesitate to answer his question, "Of course I am happy with you. Why would you think that?"

"I avoid coming home because you are always tired and I get it. And then there's…," he shakes his head, not wanting to stay it. "I miss being close to you," he words carefully.

"Fitz," she says, interlocking her hand with his.

"Just tell me what's wrong so I can fix it. Do you resent me? The boys…"

"That makes me sound like a monster," Liv says, immediately tearing up.

"I don't want to make you cry. I just want to understand what's going on, ever since the boys.."

"Stephen," she corrects above a whisper.

"Stephen," Fitz says, tilting his head to the side.

"It all started with Stephen after what happened. Everything hit at me once. I suppose I needed to take my own advice. I had a lot of buried feelings that I never wanted to admit existed. I just wanted to move and be happy and you and our kids, make me happy." She can see the relief on Fitz's face, "I am sorry," she says.

"No need to be sorry. I just want you well. I want you okay," Fitz answers.

"Why do you think I resent you and the boys?" Liv asks.

"We wanted another child. We didn't count on another set of twins. I know you are home with them more than I am. Maybe it was selfish of me to want that and not think about what it would mean for you," Fitz explains.

"Fitz I wanted to expand my family. I did. But I think finding out I was pregnant after what happened with Stephen was the perfect storm for me and I pushed all of that aside to focus on the baby and then the babies and our family."

"We never talked about it again. We just pushed him away," Fitz says.

"Yes and going through everything, realizing what happened with Edison for so many years scarred me more than I was willing to realize. Being attacked by Jake and killing him. I pushed that away as self defense. You know life preservation but I think I pushed the emotions away and never truly reconciled them. And Stephen, that hurt me more than anything because I trusted him. I trusted his friendship. And I was being naive to trust with my heart, more than my head and I paid for it."

Fitz's heart just tightened in his chest. He still wanted to beat Stephen's ass for what happened. To be honest he wanted to kill him and then the trial happened. That put a rift in their relationship too. "He needed to pay."

Liv drops her head, "I am sorry about that. I did what I did for myself. Not for Stephen."

"He didn't get enough of a punishment," Fitz says.

"I know and that's my fault but I...I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?" Liv says.

"Can you forgive me?" Fitz asks.

"How about we forgive each other? That's a good place to start," Liv suggests.

"As long as we start and end with each other, that's all I care about," Fitz answers.

"I am going to see a therapist. How is that for irony?" Liv says.

"Postpartum depression," Fitz surprises her.

"How did you know?" Liv asks.

"Baby I've never had a baby. But I've heard of it and there were enough women in my life to ask. I just wanted to make sense of what was going on with you. Or what could be wrong with you and I am sorry that I didn't slow down knowing something was wrong," Fitz says.

"You own a company Fitz, you shouldn't apologize."

"I'm also your husband and our children's father. You come first and that's the way it should be," he says getting more and more upset with himself.

"I've never felt like we didn't come first. I just..I've been so overwhelmed and trying to be superwoman. I just lost myself in it all," Liv explains.

"You don't have to be superwoman. You just have to be my Livvie, that's all."

"And there are 4 little people who need their mommy and I feel like I suck at it. Ellie looked so upset this evening when I walked over to pay attention to Christina. Then she heard Rosie and I talking and she was scared I was going to leave again. That's what she asked me," Liv says.

"They are just aware now," Fitz deduces.

"But she looked sad and she looked like Mommy was ignoring her. At least that's how I felt and I felt like the worst mother in the world," Liv says.

Fitz pulls his chair closer to Liv and takes her in his arms, "You are the best other in the world. Don't ever doubt that. I told you earlier, you are the light of those children's lives. You wouldn't be if you were the worst mother in the world."

"Doesn't change that I'm probably the worst wife in the world right now," Liv answers.

"You aren't," Fitz says.

"I've avoided sex with you. And sometimes I am doing it because I don't want you unsatisfied. Ever since the boys were born, I don't feel sexy. I don't feel beautiful. I don't feel like I'm anything you need to sleep next to, so I avoid it," Liv explains. She didn't know how good she would feel getting this out but now that she is, she's feeling lighter and lighter.

Fitz kisses her neck. He doesn't care that they are in a public place. He then brings his lips to her, shutting her up. "You are the sexiest woman on earth. There is no woman sexier than you."

"Fitz," she giggles. "We are in public."

He starts to kiss her hand, then up her arm and then up her shoulder to face, "I don't care. You need to know that I am as attracted to you today as I was on the very first day we met. I am attracted to you even more."

Liv nuzzles her face into his, "No you aren't."

"Yes I am," Fitz stresses as he kisses her again. "When you are ready for me to show you in greater detail I will."

"How can you be more attracted to me now?" Liv asks. She honestly wants to know the answer.

"This beautiful body gave me 4 amazing children," Fitz starts.

"And 10 extra pounds I can't get rid of," Liv says slowly.

"Makes your ass look even better," Fitz chuckles.

"I thought you loved my ass already," Liv says quizzically.

"Oh I most certainly do. You just added a little pad, just more of me to grab on to when you are on top."

Liv giggles, bringing her finger to his lips, "Shhh, people might hear you."

"I don't care. We are married and in love and I love the way you ride me and I love holding your ass when you do. I am not ashamed."

"I've really missed us," Liv says.

"I've missed us too. I've missed you the most," Fitz says as he kisses her again.

"I want to be my old self again," Liv smiles. Fitz kisses her hand. "I made us reservations for us and the kids."

"Yeah...where?" Fitz says.

"Everything fell in line for us in St. Lucia. You can take me and our girls back home. We reconnected there. I think it is a perfect place for us to reconnect."

"I think that's the perfect idea," Fitz asks.

"I think we need to have just family time. You've been so busy and I've been so busy. We need to slow down. I need to hug my babies and see on the beach looking at that amazing sunset. At night, you and I can drink wine and hold each other," Liv answers.

"That sounds perfect," Fitz repeats.

"I mean I know I should have asked first if you could take the time, but I was hoping."

"I will make the time. My marriage is more important than my job. Maybe I'll let dad play a little while we are gone. He will love that," Fitz laughs.

"That might give mom a break too," Liv suggests.

Fitz is staring at her. In fact, he's wearing his eyes into her. "Don't ever be afraid to tell me what's going on in that pretty little head of yours."

"I didn't want you to pity me," Liv answers.

"I'll never pity you. I will only love you," Fitz explains.

"I feel like I shouldn't be working right now. I feel like I shouldn't be giving advice when I have stuff I need to work through," Liv explains.

"Baby, no one is perfect and I don't think your readers and listeners expect you to be," Fitz says.

"Will you go with me to some of my sessions?" Liv asks with pleading eyes.

"Of course I will. I'll do whatever you need me too."

"I'm ready to go home," Liv says.

"We haven't had dessert yet," Fitz says. He can't help it. One of his favorite desserts is their Creme Brulee and he had his sights set on it.

"I was thinking that there could be a donut in your future. I mean that is if you want donuts," Liv says with a wink.

Fitz feels his dick twitch in his pants, "I would never turn down donuts for dessert."

"Take me home sir," Liv smiles.

"With pleasure," Fitz says as they get up and leave.


They get home and Big Gerry and Bibi are watching television on the couch. They sent Polly home once the kids fell asleep. Liv and Fitz come in and smile at Fitz's parents who are a perfect example of making through hard times. Even recovering after divorce.

Liv whispers, "It's quiet."

Bibi turns to look, Big Gerry has actually drifted off to sleep. She can see the difference in Liv and Fitz's face. "Dinner must have been good."

"Yes it was," Fitz says kissing Liv's head.

"Dad's asleep. I think he played harder than the kids," Bibi laughs.

"Mom, why don't you and Dad just stay here tonight," Fitz whispers.

"That's not such a bad idea," Bibi says.

"Is Rosie asleep?" Liv asks.

"I told her to go early and we could handle it," Bibi answers.

"I'll make sure the bedroom is set. Thanks so much mom," Liv says.

"We know where to find everything around here. You and Fitz go upstairs and do what married people. I'll tuck this big baby in," Bibi says as Liv blushes.

"Mom, what are you suggesting?" Fitz winks.

"You already know," Bibi says. She looks over at Liv, "Quinn stopped by."

"Oh," Liv smiles.

"Why did Quinn stop by?" Fitz asks as they start going toward the stairs.

"She had to drop something off," Liv smiles as they keep going.

Bibi yells at them, "Don't worry, I have the monitor for both rooms."

"Thanks mom," Liv hollers back.

Fitz and Liv waste no time rushing upstairs. They stop in the girls room to look in on them. They stop in the boys room to look in on them. All of them are sleeping like angels.

"You did that," Fitz says to her softly as he holds her by the waist.

"What did I do?" She asks as they stare at the boys.

"You gave me this life. You are a superwoman," Fitz says kissing her neck.

She turns in his arms, kissing him, "I love you so much."

"Oh yeah, how much?"

"A lot," she giggles.

"How about we go into our bedroom and find out?" Fitz says.

"Why don't we?" Liv says as softly closes the door.

They walk into their bedroom. The bed is covered with red roses and a box with a gold bow.

Fitz looks confused, "What's all this?"

Liv goes over to the box, picking it up, passing it to him. "I think this is for you."

"How is this for me?" Fitz says.

"Open it and find out," Liv says.

Fitz unties the box. He lifts the box to find two very nice sized glazed donuts. He begins to laugh, "So the donut is in my near future."

"I've missed you too and I wanted to make it up to you. I know it's been rough. I know you've been patient. I love you very much and I want to show you," Liv explains.

"You don't have to do this, although I thoroughly enjoy it," Fitz smiles.

"Well drop your pants so I can have my dessert," She orders.

"Oh I think I like you like this," Fitz laughs.

"What are we going to do with the other donut? It's going to be all alone," Fitz says playfully.

"I am sure there are places you can think of to eat it from," she says as she's already unbuckling his pants.

"Wait for me," Fitz says as he starts to unzip her dress and it falls to the floor. He takes a minute to look at hire, "I can't wait to feast on you."

"Me first," she says as she turns him around forcefully and pushes him on the bed. "Are you ready?"

"For you, always."

She slides the donut around his shaft that's stretched. "Perfect fit," she winks.

"Baby I…"

Before he can get out his words, Liv's dives down and wraps her warm mouth around him. "Damn," he whispers.

She begins to chase the donut with her lips and tongue. She licks the glaze and then grazes his shaft with it, licking it clean. It's a repeated motion that is immediately driving him insane. She begins to moan as her tongue sucks him, feeling the ridges of his cock. He's erect. He's thick and feeling so good in her mouth.

Fitz is panting, "I don't know how long I can last."

She tightens the squeeze on the base of him, looking up at him, "Slow or fast." He can't answer as she starts to flicker his tip with her tongue.

"Shit," he utters.

She starts to pump him fast into her mouth. It's slippery. It's intoxicating and it makes her feel sexy. She feels sexy making her man feel good. She stops to claim his cock, peppering kisses up and down, softly licking his balls in one shot. Fitz is lifting off the bed as he's feeling tongue as she licks the donut clean.

"I can't hold it. I can't hold it," Fitz says as he fist the pillows.

She strengthens her suck on his as he messes her hair in the passion of it all. He reaches down, diving his fingers inside of her panties. She moans even more. She takes him in as far as she can go. The friction of riding his hands and the feel of him inside of her mouth is too much for both of them as he explodes in her mouth and she explodes on his hands. She releases him.

He pulls her up to him. She settles on top of him. "Don't you ever doubt you are a good wife?"

"Why?" Liv asks, kissing his chest.

"Nobody does it better," he says, panting.

She rests her chin on his chest, looking up at him, "I really missed this...I missed you."

"I missed you too," he says kissing her head. He looks over at the box with another donut, "How about I find a place for that other donut?"

"Let's do it," she laughs as she removes the donut from him.

He flips her over, grabbing the donut from the box. "Your pocketbook is empty. I guess I need to fill it up," he says with a fire in his eyes she hasn't seen in a while.

He spreads her legs open, putting the donut between her lips. "Sweet, sticky and messy...just how I like it," he says, licking his lips. He dives into her core and starts to lick and suck her.

Liv starts to squeal and laugh. It's the best sound in the world. A sound they haven't heard enough in their private oasis. They reconnect. They make love and remember the love that they make each other feel. It's their night of nights and they enjoy every moment of it.
