Two days later

Fitz POV

Olivia has slept for most of the past two days. She would wake up only to take more medication and then drift back to sleep. I, for the most part have kept busy. I haven't been into the office, I wanted to stay as close to her as possible. So I worked from my home office.

I was making a dent in the pile of paperwork when the doorbell sounded.

I took my glasses off and went to answer the door when I opened it I was surprised and slightly annoyed.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" I stared at her in confusion.

"I came to see the girl who has you all held up in this house?" She seemed angry for some unknown reason.

"Are you cooling the outside?" She asked and when I didn't respond she added.

"Are you gonna let me in?" Her annoyance was noted.

"Oh yeah right sorry come on in" I held the door open for her and watched as her petite frame stepped across the threshold.

"Olivia is sleeping." I state hoping to prevent her from seeing liv. I had yet to prepare Olivia for the storm that is my mother.

"What are her symptoms?" My mother was a doctor for a few years before she married my dad so she was always the one to go to for medical advice. I chose to go with an old friend for Liv's privacy, maybe that's why she was mad?

"Fever, vomiting, the usual symptoms of a stomach flu." I closed the door behind her.

"They are also the symptoms for pregnancy. You didn't knock that poor girl up Fitzgerald did you?"

"WHAT? Of course not mom." I stared at her as if she had grew another head.

"Don't get angry it was just a question. Is she in your room?" She asked heading for the stairs.

"Yes, but I don't want you to get sick maybe you could meet her later?" She gave me the look. That look meant 'I am your mother and I will do as I please'. I let out a sigh of defeat "let me go in first okay?" I pleaded with her taking the first few stairs. She was just about to speak when the door bell sounded again.

"You better get that." She smiled

"Mom just wait here" I ran to the door and threw it open.

"Hey I came to check on her is she awake?"

"What is she doing here?" My mother asked leaning against the bannister with a scold on her face.

"I asked her to come, she isn't awake but you can come check on her."

"We don't have all day." My mother rolled her eyes and stomped her foot. She really wasn't in a good mood today. Maybe it was the fact of my guest whom she has hated since the day they met.

I walked up the stairs first to prepare Olivia. My mother and guest followed.

Liv looked to be asleep. She had a i.v in her arm giving her fluids because she was dehydrated. I brushed some of the hair out of her face. The makeup that graced her face was long forgotten. She had natural beauty, it was beyond me as to why she wore makeup in the first place. She was wearing one of my shirts that hung low on her. It was easier than putting her in pjs. I didn't want to wake her but I knew my Mother would be relentless.

"Hey baby" I crouched down to her side of the bed so that I was eye leveled with her. I gave her arm a shake.

Nothing.

"Baby, I need you to wake up." I put my hand on her back and started to rub big circles on it.

She started to make noises. Her lips stuck out in a perfect pout and her eyes started to flutter.

"Liv, you gotta wake up." I said a little louder.

It took her another minute but before I knew it her big bright doe eyes were staring back at me.

"I don't feel good." She moaned rubbing at her eyes.

"I know and I am sorry but the doctor is here."

She nodded and closed her eyes again.

"So is my mom." Her eyes shit back open.

"I can't meet her like this Fitz I am disgusting." She tried to sit up but winced in pain.

I instantly wrapped my arm around her and helped her sit-up.

"You are beautiful and she doesn't care. She is worried about you." I said kissing her temple, it felt hot.

"Fine, bring her in." She whispered. She was semi awake at this point and able to keep her eyes open.

I peeked my head out the door to see my mother whisper yelling. Which in my opinion is worse than when she was using her normal volume.

"Why are you even here after everything you have done?"

I didn't give my guest time to answer.

"Will you two stop bickiering and get in here? She is awake?"

Their heads snapped in my direction. My mother gave me a tight smile and walked into my room.

"Liv this is my Mom, Mom this is Liv" I said introducing the two.

"It is so nice to finally meet you sweetie" my mom smiled at her and then back at me. I have heard so much about you." She cautioned herself form going to close to Liv.

"Same here." Liv tried to give her best smile under the circumstances.

"This is Mellie she is the Doctor." My mothers face instantly dropped the smile.

"If you can even call her that" she mumbled under her breathe.

Neither things went unnoticed by Liv.

I felt the need to get closer to Olivia. I went to her side and grabbed her hand.

"Hi Olivia how are you feeling today?" Mellie asked sitting her briefcase in the end of the bed. It opened with a click and revealed a few files inside.

"Sore, and my head still hurts. I haven't thrown up today. Right?" She tilted her head up to look at me.

"That's right." I smiled at her and ran my thumb across the back of her hand.

"But she might have a fever." I said taking my eyes of Liv and looking at Mellie.

"I can check that." She reached into her coat pocket and grabbed a thermometer.

I watched as she rubbed it against Olivia's head and behind her ears until it beeped.

"She does have a fever 100.6 it isn't great but it's not too bad. I am going to give her some medicine for that and some nausea pills just in case. She should try to eat real food in the next couple of hours. You don't wanna take these pills on an empty stomach." She got out her prescription pad and wrote some things down before peeling it off and handing it to me.

"And you are sure you aren't pregnant?" My mom asked liking back and forth between Olivia and me.

Liv's face turned red but it wasn't as noticeable as the color that spread over Mellies face.

That didn't go unnoticed my Olivia either. She was very intuitive.

"No mom." I squeezed Liv's hand.

"And how are you so sure?" My mother kept pressing.

"Do I need to take blood, it is a possibility?" Mellie finally found her bearings and asked.

"We uh.. she hasn't...We didn't." I didn't know what to say or how to explain my sex life to the two women standing In front of me.

Thankfully Liv found her words.

"We haven't had sex. I'm a virgin" she stated proudly. I smiled at her before returning my gaze back to the women.

They looked dumbfounded, confused, surprised? I couldn't pin point there exact emotions.

"Well then that rules that out doesn't it" My mother whispered glancing at the ground suddenly embarrassed.

"Okay well I best get going. Take the medicine and you should be fine in a couple more days. Call me if you need me. it's knows how to take the I.v out when you are ready." Mellie shook both mine and Liv's hand before she let herself out.

"I should be going to. It was so very nice to meet you Olivia I would love for you to come over to the house when you are feeling better. In fact I demand you come." She smiled at me. Whatever anger once resided in her eyes had now vanished. She looked proud in a way.

"I would love to take you up on that. We would love to come over right Fitz?" I smiled at the two women.

"Yes we would."

I let them talk for a few minutes before my mother said she really must be going and I walked her downstairs.

"She is beautiful Fitz and very sweet. You did a great job. I always knew you would find someone. She is good for you."

"Thanks mama." I gave her a kiss on the cheek and a hug before I sent her on her way.

"Hey" I was surprised to see her still awake when I came back upstairs.

"Hey" she whispered back as she picked at her hands. I noticed that she does it a lot when she is nervous.

"What's wrong?" I was once again by her side.

"You dated that Mellie girl? She asked her gaze not once lifting up to mine.

"Worse than that" I said sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I married her."

She looked up at me her eyes filled with a million questions.

"You were married?" She cocked her head to the side.

"A long time ago, we weren't in love my dad thought I needed a wife. He orchestrated the whole thing. She cheated and I did more than my fair share of sleeping around so we got a divorce. She never really got along with my Mom and I was dumb enough to not make her sign a prenup. She took pretty much everything I had."

"That is awful you don't deserve that. You said you never dated before?" She went back to picking her fingers.

"I didn't date her. We were thrown together." I pulled her hands apart and held them. Her eyes slowly drifted up to mine.

"You don't have to worry about her. She was never on my radar. My mother isn't a fan either. Mellie is narcissistic and mean. Completely 180• from you." She did her best to smile before she laid her head back on the bedpost.

"I don't feel good." She mumbled again. If I had a dollar for every time she has said that in the past two days I would be the richest person on the plannet.

"So you mention" I laughed letting go of her hands and pulling her down so she could lay down.

"I know I am a baby when I am sick. I am sorry."

"Don't be, no ther place I would rather be." I began to rub her back.

"That feels nice." She hunched over pushing her back harder against my hand.

"Abby keeps calling you." I let my fingertips message her back.

"Can you call her and tell her I am fine." She moved her head back and looked at me.

"When I feel better I want to get to know my boyfriend." She grinned at me.

"I think we can arrange that but for now get some sleep. You need all the energy you can get." I kissed her forehead and continued to rub her back.

When her eyes closed and her breathe became even I left the room.

She wanted to know about me. That alone stressed me out. I didn't want to lie to her but telling her the truth would ruin the whole operation. Lying to her wasn't going to be easy.
