Hope you guys like this update. I worked super hard on it. Like always excuse the errors, and enjoy!!

Normally on Sundays we would be up and ready to go to church. I knew today was not a normal day. I woke up to Liv and Lilly Snuggled into my side. They looked precious. Lilly's hair was sprawled all over her face. Her unruly curls reminded me a lot of mine. Everything about her reminded me of myself. She has to be mine, and I don't know how that made me feel. Was I supposed to hope she wasn't mine? Was I supposed to be happy, am I allowed to be happy?

But then I look at liv, she has been through so much. She has wanted a family since day one of our relationship. We talked openly about the family we would create together. God had different plans. Losing the first baby we handled, it was early in her pregnancy. When we lost the second baby she was farther along in her pregnancy. She had already grown attached. She didn't handle it well, neither of us did.

She took it the worst and it took several months for us to get back to a normal place. She was getting better, and now this. From talking to her about it last night and getting her feelings on the topic, I can't expect her to go along with this. Raise a baby when she can't have one.

My heart had a sliver of hope when I awoke to them snuggling together. They were the cutest girls I have ever seen. The question of why Lilly was in our bed never crossed my mind. I watched them for a few minutes before I carefully and quietly got out of bed. I turned off the fan, knowing that Liv would be freezing and went to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and used the bathroom. Before I went to the closet to get dressed. I normally sleep naked but since I had a potential daughter in the house I kept on boxers. I thre a shirt and some gym shorts on.

Suddenly my phone began to ring.

"Dammit" I practically ran out the closet and to my night stand to answer it before it woke up the girls.

"Hello" I whispered into the phone

"Hey, why are we whispering?" Abby said in a hushed tone.

I walked out the bedroom and silently closed the door behind me.

"The girls are sleeping stil what's up?" I said in my normally voice.

"Oh sorry I figured you guys were on your way to church." She said apologetically

"I figured we should stay home today, you know with everything that is going on."

"Yeah of course, that's why I am calling actually I got the results back."

My heart stopped. I didn't know what to think or feel".

"You want to wait for Olivia?" She asked.

"No , uh you can just tell me. I'll I'm tell her when she gets up". Part of me thought I should wait for Olivia but there was no telling when she was going to get up and I couldn't just sit here with the bit knowing.

"Congratulations, they came back positive you are her Dad." I smiled because I was happy , confused but so happy.

"Okay thank you Abby I really appreciate this."

"Is Liv okay we talked yesterday and she seemed stressed?"

Abby and Liv has a very flow relationship so I assumed the Liv had spoke to Abby about her reservations about our current predicament .

"I talked to her. She is going to be okay." Or at least I hoped so.

"Okay well, call me if you need anything . I love you you guys."

"We will. We love you too bye."

I hung up the phone and went downstairs. I sat on the barstool in the kitchen and I just thought. I thought about how our lives are changing and how I hope it's for the better.

I had just finished up breakfast when I heard tiny feet pattering against the floor.

"Gwood Morning!!" Lily exclaimed as ran at me hitting my legs at full force and grasping them in a tight embrace.

"Good morning beautiful, how did you sleep?" Her face got red and she let go of my legs. She backed up only to run into Liv's legs. She looked up meter her eyes. Liv sent her a reassuring smile "It's okay" she whispered grabbing her hand.

I looked back and forth between the two confused on what was happening.

"Can you twell him?" She pleaded

"Tell me what?" I asked grabbing both of there attentions.

"She had an accident last night. But we got her all cleaned up and that's why she slept with us. Isn't that right sweetie?"

Liv pulled her hand so that she wasn't hiding behind her legs.

"I sworry" she whispered looking at the floor.

"Hey, it's okay daddy isn't mad."

The use of the term daddy didn't go unnoticed by Olivia, unable to meet her gaze I crouched down infront of Lilly.

"Pwomise?" She stuck out her pinky for me to grab.

I wrapped my substantial bigger pinky around hers "I promise, now get to the table I've made breakfast."

She let go of Live hand and ran to the table. Leaving Olivia and I alone.

"Mornin' baby" I pecked her lips before turning around and plating the food.

"Did Abby call?" She asked reaching around me to grab a piece of bacon and taking a bite of it.

"Yeah She di-"

"Fits will you look at me and stop hiding?" She asked annoyed but in a low tone so that Lilly wouldn't hear. I wiped my hands on a rag and turned to look at her.

She looked tired like she didn't get enough sleep last night and that worried me.

"What did Abby say?" She inquired still chewing on the piec of bacon.

I looked in her eyes and I knew that she already knew she just wanted to hear me say it.

"Positive, the test came back positive. I am her Dad" she stoped chewing and just looked at me.

A few moments passed and she just continued to stare.

"Li-"

A smile graced her perfect lips. Not a forced one a genuine smile. She was happy, she was actually happy.

"That's good, we are going to have to go get clothes today for her and the bed upstairs needs steamed." She grabbed the plates from the counter and walked one over to Lilly.

"Here you go pumpkin. You want some juice?" She asked with a smile on her face.

"Awpple pwease" Lilly stated with a mouthful of bacon.

I reached behind me and grabbed a glass. "Here you go" Liv was right behind me i turned and presented her with the glass. She accepted it and planted a kiss on my lips.

"What was that for?" I asked with a chuckle, holding onto her waist.

"I am so in love with you." She causally said.

"I am like so in love with you too" I whispered against her lips.

"Jwuice!" Lilly said interrupting there moment.

"Yes ma'am!" Liv moves out of my hold and went to the fridge. After she got juice for Lilly and coffe for the two of us, I sat our plates down on the table and we all began to eat.

"So pumpkin I was thinking we could go shopping today and pick up some things for you?" Liv spoke to Lilly.

"Wike what?" She asked I'm between shoveling her face full of eggs.

"You need clothes and a toothbrush and we have to get you a smaller bed." I said grabbing Liv's hand.

"She doesn't need a bed we have one in the basement." I have her a puzzled look.

"The crib can be turned into a bed remember?" She took a sip of her coffe and sent a smile in Lilly's direction.

I rubbed the back of her hand with my thumb "Baby we don't have to use it." I spoke carefully hoping not to open wounds that have been closed.

"Fits we aren't going to use it, it will just sit down their and collect dust."

The way the words came out were hateful but I was hoping she didn't intend it that way.

"Okay" I retuned my haze to my daughter. I smiled inwardly I never thought I would be able to say that.

"We can get some decorations for your room too if you would like."

She smiled showing of teeth. She was the cutest thing I could have ever seen. She reminded me of a younger me. A wave of sadness washed over me. I wasn't there when she was born. For the past two years we have been strangers.

"What about this one?" I held up a green dress.

"No it's ugly." She has said that to the past six dresses. Olivia left to go grab groceries and assigned me with getting a few dresses for Lilly. So far I was failing.

"Okay fine" I lifted her out of the cart and placed her on the ground.

"You pick out a few." I watched her roam around and look at a few of the dresses. She didn't seem to like any of them.

"Is there anything I could help you guys with?" A blonde girl approached us I assumed she worked here. "Hi, yes I am looking for dresses for my daughter and she doesn't seem to like any of these." I said pointing to the dresses behind us.

"I want pwurple ones." Lilly said eyeing the girl and instinctively grabbing my hand.

"We have more dresses over here I would love to show you."

I nodded and she led us to a different section of the store.

"Here are our purple ones."

Lilly's eyes lit up.

"Fizzz there are so many!" She let go of my hand and ran to the dresses.

"You can get three for now and if we need more we can come back."

"Okay daddy" she smiled at me briefly before returning to the dresses.

"She is so precious." I turned to the worker who was still standing next to me.

"Thanks she really is." I smiled and looked back at my daughter.

"How old is she?" She asked inching closer to me.

"She is two she will be three soon though"

"You are such a great Dad. She is blessed to have you." She placed her hand on my forearm and gave it a small squeeze.

Olivia's Pov

I leave him for thirty minutes and he manages to attract a skank.

"You are such a great dad, she is blessed to have you." I watched her place her hand on his arm.

"We both are lucky to have him" I said wrapping my arm around his waist protectively.

"Hey baby" he kissed my forehead and turned his attention back to the girl.

"I am the blessed one." He said proudly

"Who is she?" The girl asked with the fakest smile I have ever seen.

"Oh yes right, this is my beautiful wife Olivia." He smiled at me and I smiled right back.

I watched her eyes shift from me to Lilly. She was trying to figure out how a white baby was in any way related to me.

"We better help her or we will be here all night" I nudged at Fitz's side.

"Right, well thank you for your help.

"No problem" she mumbled and walked away.

"You can let go now Livvie I don't think she will be coming back," he laughed at me and kissed my forehead.

I let go of his wait but grabbed his and turned my attention to Lilly.

"Hey pumpkin you almost done?"

"When did you gwet back?" She asked running towards me and hugging my legs.

"I just got back, did you find some dresses?"

"I mwissed you" she squeezed my legs tighter before letting go.

"I found thwee dwesses" she held up three of her little chubby fingers.

"I missed you to pumpkin and great why don't you show me."

She picked out three purple dresses that were all different in style. I checked the tags and hoped that they would fit because it was already getting late and I didn't feel like going through the mess of having her try them on.

When we all agreed on the dresses we checked and headed home.

It was five thirty when we got home but we had a lot to unpack.

Fits carried everything in and put them in one of our empty rooms.

We decided that her bedroom would be the one right next to ours so that she wouldn't be to far away. Since we had four spair bedrooms we had a lot to choose from.

Before we left I made Fitz her the crib from the basement and remove the side rails so that it was a toddler bed.

"I will start dinner. You guys can go ahead and start." Fitz said as he dropped the last bag in the room.

"Okay" I kissed his cheek before he left.

"Alright first we are going to put away your new clothes!" I smiled at Lilly who was marveling at the room.

I showed her how to fold the clothes and put them on hangers. She was a natural for the most part it went by rather quickly. Then we were moving onto the next thing.

"You want to put the sheet and blankets on the bed?"

"Yes pwease!" She clapped her hands together and shook her head.

It took me a minute of looking through all the bags to find her bed spread.

She picked a princess and the frog comforter, so we got pillows and sheets to accommodate that.

She got two pillows and on each case there was a different face. One was Tatiana and the other was her prince.

"You know they were fwogs" she laughed as she put the pillow on her bed.

"They were? I bet that was funny" I tucked her comforter into the bottom of her bed and three her last pillow with the three one.

"Yeah it was, can we watch it tomorrow? I promise to be good" she asked stopping what she was doing to look up at me.

"Well me and daddy have to work tomorrow but when we get home we would love to." Her eyes started to water and the smile slipped from her pretty face.

"You gwuys are leaving too. I was gwood though.?"

She was wiping at the tears falling from her face with the back of her hands.

"Oh honey we are coming back. We will only leave for a few hours and you get to meet your grandma tomorrow she is super excited to meet you."

All she did was nod her head bust she didn't look convinced.

"Hey everything alright" I turned to see Fitz standing in the door looking at the two of us.

"We are going to work and she thinks we are leaving town like M-E-L-L-I-E did"

"Hey Bug come here"

I watched as she ran over to her dad. He squatted down and lifed her into his arms. Her head laid against his chest and she cried harder.

"I rweally like it here. I dont wanna weave."

She looked broken and it hurt me watching this scene unravel. She was way to young to understand what was happening so there was no point in trying to explain it to her at least not yet.

"You aren't ever going to leave baby. You are going to stay right here with me and liv I promise. We are going to love you and take good care of you. I promise okay." She sniffled and burried her head deeper into his chest.

"I think she is just tired. Is dinner almost ready?" I rubbed her small back.

"Yeah I just have to make the rice. You wanna take her and i can finish it up in about thirty minutes?"

She passed Lilly into my arms and gave us both kisses on our heads before he went back downstairs.

"You wanna put the decoration up?"

She nodded so I sat her back down on the ground.

We hung up her posters

One princess and the frog of course and one of Alexander Hamilton.

Which threw Fitz and I both off but she asked so we delivered. We hung up her map of the world.

She had a few unicorn stickers that we scattered along the room.

Her pink night table had a pink lamp that accompanied it.

Lastly she had a few wooden planks that had quotes written on them.

"Fitz will hang these up tomorrow is that okay."

"Yes ma'am" she stretched her hands up to me signaling that she wanted me to pick her up.

She wrapped her arms around me neck.

"What do you think pumkin?" I stood in the doorway so she could see the whole room.

"It's weally pweety" a yawn escaped her small mouth as she leaned her head against my shoulder.

"Why do you cwall me pwumkin?" She asked in a whisper her bright blue eyes searching for mine.

"Do you not like it?" Panic rose in my body. I hand even realized I was calling her it.

"No, you call me pwumkin I cwall you mommy"

"Alright pumkin" She hugger my neck.

"Let's go see if daddy has dinner ready" she nodded against my neck.

"Hey" he whispered "I was just about to get you both."

"Are you hungry" he asked her rubbing soothing circles on her back.

"Yes" She lofted her head up and looked around the kitchen.

"It smewlls good daddy" I put her in a chair and placed a plate in front of her.

"See if you like it baby" Fitz day next to her and watched her try it.

"Yes" she whispered feeding herself another bite.

"Fitz leave her alone and let her eat she is tired" I smiled and kissed his exposed neck.

"Right sorry, I can grab your plate." He went to get up but I pushed him back down. "I can get it you have slaved enough for us."

"I don't mind"

"Neither do I." I winked behind me at him as I grabbed our plates of the counter.

"You want some juice pumkin."

"Yes pwease mommy." She kept piling her face with food.

Fitz in the other hand nearly choked at the name.

He sent me a look that asked if I was okay with that I sent him a sweet smile back.

I found it endearing that after only a day she felt comfortable enough to call me mom.

"Baby you want juice or water?"

"Surprise me"

I poured us all juice and brought them to the table.

They both said thank oh and I sat down.

"How did it go up their? Fitz asked cutting his steak.

"It's so pweety"

"We finished most of it but you have to hang the planks up."

I watched Lilly for a second. She would put her fork in her mouth and slowly chew as her eyes drifted shut. Her head would fall back and she would wake herself up only to repeat the same motions.

I looked at Fitz who was occupied with his meal.

"Baby" I whispered he stopped and looked up at him. I sent my eyes in Lilly's direction and we watched as she did it again. The fork with food went in her mouth and then her head would drop and wake her up.

"Bug, you wanna go to bed?" Fitz didn't wait for an answer he put his knife and fork down and went to pick her up.

She jumped when he put his arms around her.

"We are going to go night night okay?" He whispered in her ear.

"Mommy nweeds kiss first" Fitz smiled at me.

"Of course bug." He brought her to me and I kissed her cheek.

"Night pumkin" she smiled and hugged me.

"Night mommy" she let go of me an instantly wrapped her arms around Fitz.

"I'll be back in a minute." Fitz whispered as he walked out of the kitchen.

It didn't take him that long to put her down. Soon he was coming back into the kitchen. I had since cleaned up her plate and put her dishes in the dish washer. I put our plates in the microwave so I would be warm when he back down.

"The room looks good baby." He pulled me into a hug.

"Thanks" I inhaled his scent. I enjoyed his body pressed into mine, it felt like home. Everything has been so chaotic and I just missed this.

"I love you big time" I wrapped my hands around his.

"I love you so much Livvie" he landed kisses in my hair.

"Let's finish eating so we can get to bed." He let go of me and got our plates from the microwave. We didn't bother eating at the table we just sat at the island and ate. We were diligently enjoying our food but I felt compelled to talk to him.

"Can we talk?" I asked putting my fork down.

"Anytime" he sent me a smile that let me know I could start at anytime.

"She is a really great kid, but she needs to talk to someone. Everything Mellie put her through, she is going to need someone. I know you are worried about me an thank you for that but I really am okay. She makes loveing her so easy. I would be stupid not to care for her. What happened was awful and I know that but you have to quit treating me like I am broken."

He looked at me with glossy eyes. He has been so strong for me and I love him so much for that but he never really got to grieve.

"Fitz it's okay to be sad. You don't Alabama have to be the strong one."

I crawled into his lap and snuggled into him.

His body started to shake and I knew he was crying. I kissed the tears that were falling from his eyes.

"We are okay baby" I whispered in between kisses. That only seemed to make him cry even harder. I pulled his head into my chest. He wrapped his arms around me and I held him.

He can't always be my hero. Sometimes the hero needs saving too. When his breathing became even and his body stopped shaking i knew he was calmer. I ran my hands through his curls and waited for him to talk.

A few moment later he began "I know you didn't sign up for this but I honestly couldn't do this without you. I love you so much and I hate seeing you in pain. Sometimes I forget I lost something too. She is a great kid and your right she should talk to someone. I will get on it. I'm sorry" he pulled away from his red tear stained face broke my heart.

"Don't be sorry. You haven't done anything. We are in this together. There is no one else I would want to go though this with. Just promise me to take care of yourself. I don't need you having a heart attack or anything." He smiled at me.

"Are you calling me old Livvie?" He smile was contagious and soon I felt my own cheeks being pulled into a smile.

"Me, I would never!" I exclaimed kissing his cheek.

"I love you." He smiled against my lips as I went in for a kiss.

"How about we take this to the bedroom." He wiggles his eyebrows as his hands traveled down to my ass.

"You are something else" I laughed as he stood up and took me with him.

"Shhh" I covered my mouth with my own hand and pulled back to look at him.

He hair was in his face his lips were red from our kisses and you could still see the tears that stained his face moments ago. If I could freeze one minute of my life this would be it. My vulnerable Fitz carrying me up the stairs to make love to me, OUR daughter sleeping peacefully in her room. I was truly blessed to have this life.
