Hey babes, it's been too long! Here is the sequel to 'The Game Chose Me'. I hope ya'll enjoy this first chapter. It's different...but trust the process lol.
Chapter 1
"Thank you for finally allowing me to take you out Liv. Did you enjoy yourself?" Edison asked as he walked Olivia to her front door.
"I did enjoy myself Edison. Thank you for getting me out of the house I really needed this night out." Olivia smiled still stuffed from the pasta they had at Sorellina.
"No problem. I am hoping we can do this again." He hopefully suggested.
"I think so. Goodnight Edison." Olivia kissed his cheek and gave his arm a light squeeze. She wanted to kiss him, but she did not want to come off to strong.
"Good night Olivia." Edison smiled and walked off heading to his car.
Olivia walked into her home and couldn't help the cheesy grin on her face. She hasn't been on date in a while and it felt good. The past two years have been a whirlwind to say the least for Olivia. She became a mother on November 22nd, 2010 to a beautiful baby boy name Adonis Zayn Grant. She refocused on her studies and is now a month shy of graduation. She is finishing in three years rather than four. Olivia buckled down and took online and summer courses all while being a single mother. Being a mother has changed her for the better. She has matured as a woman. Her son has given her a newfound confidence and Olivia is proud of who she is becoming.
"Well I take it your date went well." Quinn teased as she walked up on Olivia who was still leaning against the door.
"It was Quinn. He was such a gentleman and so sweet." Olivia blushed.
"Mm you do like them older Liv." Quinn shrugged with a knowing look.
"Oh whatever, how was Poppa?" Olivia laughed at Quinn's comment. Quinn is right but Edison is the oldest she's ever dated.
"He was great it's just so hard keeping up with him now." Quinn exhaled. Olivia looked her best friend over and she did look worn out.
"Tell me about it he's so active." Adonis is Olivia's workout. She doesn't need the gym when she have a toddler keeping her busy.
"Well let me get out of here because I am sure he's gonna be calling soon," Quinn smirked wiggling her eyebrows.
"Eww you creep, text me when you get in." Olivia opened the front door and waited until Quinn was safely in her car.
"I will love you." Quinn said over her shoulder as she hopped into her Prius.
"Love you too," Olivia closed and locked the door.
After shutting off the lights downstairs, Olivia made her way to the second floor. She checked on her son and he was knocked out cold. It is scary how much he looks like Fitz. The only thing Adonis inherited from Olivia is her eye shape and nose, everything else is Fitz down to his wild chocolate curly hair. People often mistake Olivia for Adonis's babysitter. It offends the shit out of her, but she has grown to sum it up as ignorance that she cannot change within people.
After kissing his cheek, she whispered she loved him and left his bedroom. Olivia then went to her bedroom and peeled out of the dress, heels and jewelry she wore tonight. She went into her en-suite showered, moisturized her skin and got into bed. Her cell phone dinged and it was message from Quinn saying that she made it home safely. Olivia responded with a heart emoji. Edison called right after. They chatted for about an hour before hanging up for the night. Olivia would be lying if she said that she didn't like Edison. They met a year ago and he has been patient with her. Olivia was afraid to go out with him at first because she didn't want to involve herself with another man knowing the feelings she still harbored for Fitz. Edison was in no rush, he went at Olivia's pace. This helped them build a friendship that she has come to cherish. She is glad that she decided to allow him to take her out. Fitz is dating it is time she move on as well.

"What's on your agenda today babe?" Angela asked Fitz as she watched him get dress for the day. She was lying across his bed naked desperately wanting another round.
"I am hanging with my son then I have a meeting." Fitz replied pulling his T-shirt over his head.
"Okay I'm gonna make us reservations at Menton for 8 cool?"
"Yeah I'll see you then, enjoy your day," Fitz walked over to her and kissed her lips. She was enticing him by lying across his bed naked. He would've indulged, but that will interfere with time with his son and no one comes in between that.
"Be safe babe," Angela puckered her lips for another kiss. Fitz smiled and gave her a peck.
He grabbed his cell phone and car keys and headed out of his house. Fitz never thought he would end up dating his physical therapist. Fitz wanted to work things out with Olivia. They tried to give it a go after their son was born, but they still were at each other's neck. Deciding to co-parent was the smartest thing to do and it has allowed them to build back their friendship. At this point Fitz feels if it's meant to be then it'll be. Until then, him and Olivia will continue to be the best parents they can be to their son.
Fitz pulled up to Olivia's townhouse which isn't far from his condo and parked in her two-car driveway. He purchased the two story 4-bedroom 3-bathroom home for her after Adonis's birth. Adonis has a playroom that looks like a small daycare. The basement is finished and is used as the media room. The backyard have enough acres for a miniature playground and pool. Fitz made sure Olivia's home has everything their son need because he doesn't trust having his son in public places too often considering the line of work he is in.
Fitz walked over to the front door and used his key to let himself in. He was shocked when Olivia gave him one. Though he purchased the home for her and his son, this is her home and he made that clear. Her name is on everything.
The first thing Fitz heard when he walked inside was little feet running through the first floor. He heard Olivia chasing behind their son yelling something Fitz didn't understand. Adonis came from the direction of the kitchen and ran right into Fitz who scooped him up and began tickling him.
"Daddy stop," Adonis laughed uncontrollably.
"Please take this little boy far away from me," Olivia huffed as she placed one hand on her hip. In her other hand was Adonis's sneaker.
"Are you giving mommy a hard time?" Fitz continued his tickling assault on Adonis.
"Nooooo daddy," Poppa giggled trying to squirm out of Fitz's arms.
"You're glowing this morning," Fitz looked her over. Olivia had this after sex glow that he is praying isn't true. Yes, they're coparenting but it is hard pill to swallow knowing that she could potentially be out here having sex with another man. Fitz still holds this possessiveness when it comes to Olivia and in his heart she still belongs to him.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Olivia brushed his comment off and placed Adonis's sneaker on.
"Sure…so what's going on with you and…?" Fitz pretended he couldn't remember Edison's name. He even had the nerve to have this perplexed look on his face.
"Fitz c'mon you know his name is Edison and things are going great. We actually went out last night on our first official date." Olivia informed him. Fitz hoped that things wouldn't get serious between Olivia and Edison. Hearing that she finally went on a date with this Edison guy after a year upsets Fitz. This Edison guy obviously really likes Olivia and has patience unlike no other. This dude is persistent and it paid off.
"Edison," Fitz snapped his finger with an aha expression.
"Whatever. I have to prepare for finals and your mother said that she will keep Poppa for me." Olivia shook her head at Fitz pettiness.
"Poppa kiss mommy bye-bye." Fitz urged their son leaning him towards Olivia. Adonis kissed and hugged Olivia bye.
"Mommy kiss Daddy," their son always does this and Fitz loves it.
"You heard him." Fitz shrugged.
"It's a shame to use your son as a pawn." Olivia teased with narrowed eyes.
Olivia leaned up and kissed Fitz's cheek. "See that wasn't so bad it should've been a kiss on the lips," he sarcastically replied.
"I love you Poppa," Olivia ignored Fitz and his antics.
"Lub you mommy muahhh," Adonis blew Olivia a kiss.
"You boys have fun." Olivia ushered them out of her house.
"Whoa what's his name must be coming over for part two." Fitz replied in a snarky tone.
"Fu- I meant screw you Fitzgerald." Olivia said to his back.
"Yeah, yeah." Fitz strapped Adonis into his car seat and hopped back into the driver's seat.
Looking at his son through the rearview mirror of his Range Rover, Fitz still can't believe he is a father. He never thought he'd see the day. He knew eventually he would take over the organization so a child didn't fit into that schemata. Fitz planned on dedicating himself to the organization, until he met and fell in love with Olivia. That night back in Philly when Fitz and Paul killed Olivia's ex-boyfriend Trent, Fitz couldn't get Olivia out of his mind. He never thought she would end up being the scholarship recipient from his parent's scholarship fund. From there his world spiraled out of control. He found himself at war with his best friend who was also his business partner Paul that he had to end up killing. He was almost murdered at the hands of another organization that he didn't even know existed and whom he is still at war fighting. Now he is a father, Fitz will do whatever it takes to protect his son and Olivia. They are his family and he will kill whoever lays a finger on either one of them.
Fitz called the head of his security Morris and told him to meet him at Sky Zone. Adonis has been begging Fitz to take him to the bouncy place for the past three days.
"Poppa are you ready to jump on the trampolines?" Fitz asked.
"Yes Daddy I'm ready!" Adonis cheered from his car seat. Him and Olivia are doing a hell of a job raising their son. He is very well spoken and his doctor, daycare teachers, family and friends are always doting on how advanced he is.
"We have to send mommy some cool pictures and videos of you jumping."
"Okay daddy!" Adonis was hyped up at this point.
They arrived at Sky Zone 30 minutes later and Fitz spotted Morris's car. Morris hopped out and walked over to Fitz's car.
"There aren't too many folks inside." Morris informed Fitz as Fitz rolled the window down.
"Good I was going to shut it down, but I know how much he likes to be around other kids." Fitz doesn't want to completely isolate his son, but he has to take precautions. Everyone is a threat at this point.
"Let me guess he's asleep?"
"You know he can't hang, he's just like his mom."
Fitz opened the backdoor and unstrapped his sleeping son. He's going to wake him once they're inside. After checking in, Fitz walked over to the private area he reserved and woke up Adonis.
"Poppa wake up we're here." Fitz rubbed his son's back gently.
Adonis groaned and eventually peeled open his eyes that mirrors Fitz. He confusingly looked around and then his face lit up like a kid on Christmas once he realized where he was. Fitz helped him put his socks on and they were off to go jumping. Though he didn't see himself becoming a father, his son is one of the greatest gifts he's ever received. Bonding and creating memories he didn't have a chance to do with his own father are things he enjoys the most. Watching his son learn and grow everyday are also things he enjoy and cherish, his son has given him a new purpose on life. Having his son made him realize that running the organization is something he will have to give up if he wants to continue being an active and present parent. Fitz refuses to go to jail or be put six feet under and taken away from his son.
I know it takes place two years after...if ya'll want the backstory on how the birth of their son went just let me know. As always leave your thoughts and enjoy the next chapter.
