Hope you enjoy!

"Why now? Why didn't you tell me sooner preferably when you first found out you were pregnant?" Fitz asked Olivia. There was no anger in his voice just genuine curiosity.

"Because I was scared of how you were going to react. I didn't know how you would take the news of becoming a father and I didn't want you to think that I got pregnant on purpose to trap you or anything like that. When I was five months pregnant, I found out that I was having a baby boy and I decided then that I was going to tell you about my pregnancy. However, I didn't know how to get in touch with you, so I googled you in hopes of finding your contact information." Olivia paused because she was still slightly upset about what she found out about him.

"While I was googling you, I found out that you were in a relationship with some woman named Melanie Bernett and have been for a while. I was angry that you slept with me knowing that you were already taken by another woman. You knew that my ex cheated on me and you ended up cheating on your girlfriend with me which made me feel extremely disgusting and guilty especially since we created a baby. I was so angry at you and wanted nothing to do with regardless of the fact that I was carrying your child."

Olivia paused again, this time to study Fitz' face in search of a reaction from him, but got nothing. She was a pro at reading people, but Fitz was an even better pro at hiding his emotions, so that others couldn't invade his inner thoughts. His poker face was solid and whatever was going on in his mind, he hid well. Olivia gave up trying to read Fitz and continued her explanation as to why she showed up to his place of work to tell him that he was the father of her baby.

"When Mason was born, I saw a lot of you in him. I still do and I felt bad that you weren't there to witness the birth of our son. When I was finally able to bring him home, I thought about contacting you. I dialed the number to Grant Consulting and quickly hung up before the first ring." Fitz raised his eyebrow questioningly. "The only number and address I could find was to this place since I couldn't find your personal contact information." Olivia clarified and Fitz nodded his understanding.

"I actually tried several times to call here and each time I hung up. One time I even waited until someone answered before hanging up." Olivia stated somewhat proudly which caused Fitz to smirk. "When I did finally talk to someone, I asked for your personal number and they said that they weren't allowed to give that kind of information out, so I asked for your office number. Every time I called, you were either in a meeting or not in. I tried to make an appointment to see you but your secretary said that you had no spots available. I wasn't going to come here at first but my parents and best friend talked me into doing it. I really wanted you to know about Mason, even if I was afraid that you would reject him. My gut told me to tell you, so here I am telling you that you have a son. We have a son."

Fitz took in everything Olivia told him. He was a little offended that she thought he would reject her son… his son… their son. He knew right away that he was the father just by taking one glance at the many photos in the envelope. Even if Fitz didn't see any pictures of the six month old, he would've still believed Olivia because he trusted her. Although he hadn't thought about her in a while, didn't mean he forgot about the night they spent together or the time they spent talking at the restaurant. His memory wasn't the best when it came to names, but he definitely recognized faces and hers was one he would never forget. He felt like he knew her for years with the type of chemistry they had.

Their conversation flowed easily with much laughter involved. They found out that they had a lot in common even though they came from two different backgrounds, which made them even more interested each other. If either were being honest, they would be happy just listening to the other talk if it meant hearing their voice and being in their presence. There was obviously a strong sexual tension between them which they wasted no time exploring. However, they also learned that they had other physical connections beyond sex.

Every time they touched an electric current ran through both of their bodies. It didn't matter if they brushed hands; they still felt a spark ignite in their bodies. They also learned that they breathed in sync when Olivia was resting her head on his chest and felt his heart beating in the same rhythm as hers, after their many rounds of love making. They both knew that they had a rare connection that's only supposed to exist with their true love, not someone they just met. He was supposed to love and be in love with Mellie. Never had he ever, not even once, felt that type of connection with her in the five years they have been dating on and off.

"Fitz." Olivia called his name for the third time, pulling him from his thoughts.

"Huh?"

"Are you okay?"

Fitz cleared his throat and sat up straight in his chair.

"Uh yeah I'm fine. I was just thinking." He replied.

"I can see that. What were you thinking about?" Olivia asked curiously.

"I was just trying to figure why you decided now to tell me I had a son. I still can't figure it out."

Olivia sighed, "I already told you why. I was hesitant at first because I didn't know if I wanted you in our son's life and when I finally decided that I wanted you to be there for him. I had to figure out a way to tell you about Mason and when I did, I was afraid to tell you. But at least I'm telling you now instead of you finding out years later that you have a son that you never knew about."

"You're right." Fitz agreed with an accepting nod. "But I would like to clear something up first. I didn't cheat on Mellie. Mellie and I were currently on a break when you and I met. I will admit that I had been with her on and off for four years and at the time we were off. We had been off for about a month, so technically I did not cheat on her."

"I just assumed…" Olivia started to say before Fitz cut her off.

"Well your assumption was wrong." He didn't mean for that to come out as harsh as it did, but the way it was worded kind of made it sound that way. "I'm sorry for snapping at you like that. I'm not gonna lie though, I am a little annoyed that you assumed that I cheated on my then girlfriend now fiancé as of last month, and decided to not tell me about my son because you were upset."

"And I apologize for that. I was wrong and if I could go back and change my way of thinking, I would but I can't, so we have to move on. You know about Mason now, so what are you going to do?"

"What do you mean?" Fitz asked with furrowed brows.

"I mean, do you want to step up as his father or pretend this conversation never happen and go back to living your life?" Olivia asked nervously. She already knew Fitz would choose the first option, but she still had some doubt.

"Is that even a question? Of course I want to be in our son's life." Fitz said, once again slightly offended and annoyed Olivia would question him on such a thing.

"Okay." Olivia said.

"Okay." Fitz reiterated. "I would like a paternity test." He declared after a brief moment of silence.

Olivia's eyes grew wide, "What? You just sa-"

Fitz held up his hand to silence her.

"I know what I said. I do believe Mason is my son; however, I need proof that he is my son. I mean other than pictures and a birth certificate."

"Why do you need a paternity test if you believe that he is your son? That doesn't make any sense to me."

"Like I said I do believe you but I need to prove that he is my son to my parents and my fiancé. You have to understand something; in a couple of years my father is going to retire and I am going to take over Grant Consulting, the most prestigious consulting firm on the east coast… You can fill in the rest of the blanks right?" He asked, so he wouldn't offend her. Olivia nodded. "As for Mellie, I just need hard copy proof because she will be in denial and then demand a paternity test anyway, so it's better to just get it out of the way now."

"Okay, fine. Anything else?"

"Yeah. Where is Mason right now?"

"He's back at the hotel I'm staying in with my best friend Abby." Olivia replied.

"How long are you going to be here for?"

"I have a flight booked for Sunday afternoon."

Since today was Friday that meant Fitz had only the weekend to spend time with his son.

"How'd you get here?"

Olivia gave him a weird look because his question was such a random one. "Taxi."

Fitz stood from his chair and started packing up all of his files in his briefcase. "Can I keep these?" He held up the envelope with the pictures of Mason and a copy of his birth certificate in it.

"Yeah."

He put the envelope in his briefcase and closed it. He then walked around his desk.

"Where are you going?" Olivia asked, turned around in her chair while Fitz made his way to his office door.

"We are going to your hotel so I can meet my son. Let's go." Fitz responded and walked out the door.

Olivia collected her purse from its spot on Fitz' desk and followed behind him.

"Lauren cancel all of meetings please. I'm taking the rest of the day off." Fitz informed her as he and Olivia walked passed her desk.

"But sir yo-"

"Just do it please." He demanded, interrupting what she was going to say.

"Yes sir." Lauren replied quickly and did as asked.

Olivia followed Fitz onto the elevator and the rode it all the way down to the first floor. He then escorted her to the parking garage where his Audi R8 was parked.

"Whoa this is your car?" Olivia asked in amazement and slight envy.

Fitz smirked and opened the passenger side door for her. "Yeah. Get in."

Olivia slid in the passenger side and he closed the door once she was fully inside. He then walked over to the driver's side and got in. "What hotel are you staying at?"

"Morningside Inn." Olivia said and cleared her throat. She felt a little embarrassed that she was staying at that two star hotel, but that was all she could really afford.

"Okay."

Fitz made the ten minute drive from Grant Consulting to Olivia's hotel. When they got there, Fitz pulled up to the side of the curb and put his car in park. He quickly got out and helped Olivia out. Together, side by side, they walked through the front doors of the hotel and through the lobby. Olivia's room was on the first floor, so they walked down the hall until they arrived at the last room. Reality was starting to set in for Fitz. He was anxious to meet his son. Call it silly, but Fitz wanted Mason to like him, even if he was only six months old.

Olivia slipped the key in the keycard machine and pushed the door open when the light turned green. She walked into the room and after taking a deep breath, so did Fitz. They were welcomed with the sight of Mason sitting on his aunt Abby's lap while she vented to him about her problems as if he could understand and even if he did, he probably could care less no matter how much he loved her.

"Abby stop talking to my baby about your problems." Olivia playfully scolded her best friend, making her presence known.

"Liv!" Abby cheered. She turned Mason around in her arms, so he could see his mommy. "Guess who's back! Who's that?" Abby said in an excited baby voice. Mason immediately lit up at the sight of his mommy. He squealed with delight and bounced on Abby's lap, clapping his hands.

Olivia quickly scooped him up in her arms and attacked his face with kisses. He laughed hysterically at his mother's display of affection. His laugh was infectious causing both Abby and Fitz to smile widely at the happy baby being showered with loving kisses by his mother.

"Hey baby boy! Mommy's missed you so so so much while she was gone." Olivia said as she continued to assault his face with kisses.

"He missed you too." Abby assured her.

Olivia looked down at Abby and said jokingly, "I would miss me to if I was stuck having to listen to you drone on and on about your problems. Which is quite pathetic on your part if you think about it." She said as an afterthought. "You were complaining to a baby about your problems as if he understood a word you said or cared."

"At least he listens to me and doesn't judge unlike someone I know." Abby said, sticking out her tongue. "Isn't that right little man?"

"He can't talk yet but I'm sure inside he was screaming for someone to save him from your motor mouth."

Abby stood up and covered Mason's ears, "Fuck you."

"My hours are from five to nine, Friday through Sunday. I'm going to need you to take a number and get in line." Olivia said in a playful businesswoman type voice, causing her and Abby to bust out laughing.

"Oh my god you're disgusting." Abby stated, dropping her hands from Mason's ears.

"Don't even go there, I learned that from you."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Abby waved her off and playfully rolled her eyes which they just so happened to land on a masculine figure observing them where he was leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets. Abby's jaw dropped to the floor. "Olivia Carolyn Pope, please tell me that that handsome… god right there is Mason's father!" Abby pointed to Fitz who wore an amused look on his face.

"Abby!" Olivia reprimanded embarrassed by her outburst, but couldn't help but laugh too.

"What? He's hot! Google images does not justify his man glory at all! God and he's tall too! Ugh! You lucky…" Again she covered Mason's ears. "Bitch."

Fitz laughed and walked closer to them, extending his hand. "Hi, I'm Fitz."

Abby took his hand and shook it. "Abby Whelan, Olivia's best friend, partner in crime, and hopefully your next baby mama." She said shamelessly and Fitz' face turned a deep shade of red.

"Abby!"

"What?!"

"Knock it off before I hoes you down." Olivia threatened.

Abby put her hands up in surrender, "Okay, okay. I'm done… You wouldn't happen to have a brother would you, preferably a twin?"

"Okay! That's it, out!" Olivia pointed to the door.

"Alright I'm going, no need to be so pushy. I'll be at that café down the street if you need me. Bye little man." Abby kissed Mason's chubby cheek before turning back to Fitz. "It was nice meeting you handsome." Fitz only smiled politely at her and she left the room.

"Your friend is quite the character." Fitz told Olivia and she gave him an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry. I should've warned you about her. She can be a little… uh straightforward sometimes. Well actually all the time but I love her to death."

"She seems nice."

"Yeah just don't get on her bad side." Olivia warned him.

Fitz nodded and his eyes fell on Mason who was playing with the necklace around Olivia's neck. Fitz observed his son, fascinated by his very existence. He couldn't believe that he and Olivia created such a beautiful little human being. It almost scared Fitz how much Mason looked like the both of them. Olivia watched Fitz as he watched their son. She noticed that he seemed to be in a trance and wondered what was going on in his head.

Finally after what felt like eternity, Fitz moved. He moved a little closer to Olivia and reached his hand out to touch Mason. He hesitated for a second, but didn't stop until his hand was gently stroking his son's short soft brown curls. The feeling of a hand rubbing his head caught Mason's attention. He immediately stopped playing with his mother's necklace and looked up at the man that the hand on his head belonged to. Crystal blue eyes clashing with crystal blue eyes. Fitz moved his hand from Mason's head and brought it down to rub his back.

"Hey buddy." Fitz finally said softly with a smile on his face.

Mason kept staring at his father in curiosity.

"Do you know who I am? Hmm?" Fitz asked as if he could answer. "I'm your daddy." He stated proudly.

"Would you like to hold him?" Olivia asked and Fitz nodded.

He removed his suit jacket, throwing in on the bed. He then rolled up his sleeves.

"Ready?"

"Yeah." Fitz answered nervously.

He reached for Mason and Olivia carefully handed her son to his father. When Mason was safely in Fitz' arms, he let out a sigh of relief. As soon as Mason was transferred into his father's arms, his face scrunched up and he began to cry. He wasn't used to being held by anyone other than his mother, his aunt Abby, and maternal grandparents. Mason crying was exactly what Fitz was afraid, but he was determined to be a good father, which meant he had to get his son to stop crying.

"Hey man, what's with all the tears? "Hm? Why're you crying little guy?" Fitz asked him in a gently tone.

Mason continued to cry and reached out for his mother. It broke her heart to see her baby boy cry, but he needed to get used to Fitz. Olivia rubbed soothing circles on his back to comfort him. Fitz didn't know what to do. He hated seeing his son upset and wanted to give him back to Olivia, but he also didn't want to give up so easily. How was he supposed to get Mason to stop crying though? Fitz thought about his younger sister and how he got her to stop crying when she was a baby.

He was nine years old when his sister, Kara was born. She used to cry all the time and Fitz was the only one that could make her stop by blowing raspberries into her stomach. He never told anyone his secret because he felt special that he was the only one who could get her to stop crying. Exiting memory lane, Fitz snapped back to the present time. He lifted Mason up until his little round tummy was at his mouth. Fitz leaned in and blew raspberries into his son's belly. Mason immediately stopped crying, his sobs turning into laughter.

Fitz looked over at Olivia with a wide triumphant smile on his face. Olivia's smiled back at him proudly. Fitz turned back to his son and again blew raspberries into his stomach, causing him to burst into more laughter. Fitz continued to do that until he was sure Mason could take no more. After that, Mason was comfortable in his father's arms. In fact, he kept handing Fitz all his toys when they moved to sit on the bed. Olivia sat on one side, while Fitz sat on the other, boxing Mason in the middle of the bed.

All of Mason's toys we're piled up next to Fitz, while Olivia's side of the bed was deserted. She was a tad bit jealous that Fitz was getting all of their son's attention, but more so happy that he was comfortable enough to share his toys with him. Fitz continued to make Mason laugh and even Olivia too by the animated sounds and faces he made that fit the description of the toy he was holding. When Mason started to lose interest in his toys, Fitz laid on his back holding him high above his body. He then brought Mason down to him, so their noses touched and he made a funny noise that had Mason squealing with laughter.

Olivia sat back and enjoyed watching her baby boy interact with his father. It was such a beautiful sight to see the two of them finally together, enjoying each other's company. She even captured the special moment on her iPhone 5s, taking one video and several photos of them. The father son duo were too absorbed in their own world to notice her snapping their pictures, which only made them more organic. Olivia knew telling Fitz about their son was the right decision.

After a few hours went by, unfortunately Olivia, as much as she hated to, had to stop the father and son bonding, so she could feed Mason, give him a bath, and put him down for the night. Although, Olivia breastfed him, she explained to Fitz that she was currently in the process of introducing him to the concept of foods other than his is usual milk. Fitz stored that his memory bank along with the other things he learned so far. He played with Mason, while Olivia bathed him, but still watched how she did it, so he knew how to do it when it was his turn.

When bath time was over, Olivia change Mason's diaper and put his onesie with the superman symbol on him. Olivia let Fitz put Mason down for the night. Fitz gently rocked Mason in his arms and cupped the back of his head, using his thumb to stroke the top it. Within minutes, he was lightly snoring on his father's shoulder. Fitz carefully laid him down in his travel crib and kissed his forehead. He whispered that he loved him and promised to be the best dad any kid could hope for. Fitz stood over his son's crib and watched him sleep. Olivia stood beside him doing the same.

"Thank you." Fitz said, breaking the silence.

Olivia looked up at him confused, "For what?"

Fitz peeled his eyes away from his son to look at her, "For allowing me to be a part of Mason's life. I don't know how but I already love him more than I've ever imagined loving anyone and it's only been a few hours. He's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I never imagined that being a father could be this amazing so thank you Olivia for trusting me and giving me the opportunity to be one." He said earnestly before turning his attention back to his son.

"You're welcome Fitz and thank you for giving me such an amazing baby boy."

Fitz smiled at her softly, "You're welcome." They went back to watching their son sleep, however Fitz was having a hard time enjoying the sight in front of him because something was still bothering him. He didn't know how Olivia was going to react to this, but he needed to put it out there. "Move to New York." He said more as a suggestion than a command.

"What?" Olivia looked at him as if he lost his mind.

"Move to New York." Fitz repeated.

"Why?" She asked.

"What do you mean why?" He asked condescendingly and stated, "Because I want to be close to my son, that's why."

"Fitz I can't just pack up my stuff and move here."

"Why not?"

It was now Olivia's turn to ask in a condescending tone, "What do you mean why not? I can't just pack everything up and move here because I do have a life back in California. I attend college on a full scholarship for my academics, all of my family and friends live there, I have a job, and I don't have the kind of money to just up and move across the country, as you can see." She gestured to the small hotel room that looked more like a motel room.

"I understand that but I don't just want to be in my son's life, I want to be a part of his everyday life. I'm willing to do whatever it takes for that to happen. I will pay for you to continue your education at NYU where my sister attends, I will buy you an apartment so you and Mace have a place to live, I will pay for your stuff to be brought here, I will take care of everything you need. If it means I get to see my son every day." Fitz proclaims.

"Fitz I-"Olivia begins to protest, but is stopped by Fitz when he takes both of her hands in his.

"Before you say a quick no, take some time to think about it and hopefully after giving it some real thought you'll then say a slow yes."

Oh he's good, Olivia thought. She sighed, but agreed to his soft plea. "Fine, I'll think about it."

Fitz smiled, "That's all I ask." He checked the time on his watch. "It's getting late I should probably get going." Just as he finished saying that, Abby walked in the room with a goofy smile that told Olivia she got some. She didn't say anything to them as she made her way inside the bathroom with that same stupid smile on her face. Olivia just smirked and shook her head at her crazy friend who she loved dearly. "Give me your phone." Fitz said, holding out his hand.

"Why?"

"I want to put my number in it." Fitz replied simply.

Olivia gave him her phone and he saved his number in it. Afterwards, he called his phone on hers, so he could have her number. He then handed her back her phone.

"Thanks."

"Yep."

"Goodnight Livvie." Fitz smiled.

"Goodnight Fitz." Olivia said, returning his smile.

Fitz opened his arms and Olivia stepped into them. She allowed herself to be engulfed in his warm embrace. Her eyes slipped closed at the feel of Fitz' strong arms wrapped loosely around her. For some reason she felt content in his arms and never wanted to leave, but in reality she had no choice when Fitz finally let her go. She was shocked when he leaned down and kissed her cheek even though a year and a half ago he did much more than that to the rest of her body.

Fitz grabbed his suit jacket and walked to the door. When his hand was on the door handle, he turned around and said, "Bye."

"Bye." Olivia said back and Fitz walked out the door.

Once he was gone, she collapsed on her bed and sighed heavily. She already knew that man was going to drive her crazy, but strangely enough she was a kind of excited to see what fate had in store for them.
