SECRETS

Chapter 9-Secret Affairs & Babies Everywhere

A/N: Let's see what happened with our couple after leaving the emergency…

Happy Reading!

The drive to Fitz's place was relaxing. Liv had practically fallen asleep on Fitz shoulder. Driving while leaning was something he would gladly get used to. "Livvie." He softly calls

"Hmm." She quietly answers not quit sleep

"Will you allow me take care of you tonight?"

She looks up and smiles "How? How would you take care of me?"

"Well first, I'd feed you, because I haven't seen you eat a thing as of yet. Second I'd run a nice hot bubble bath and wash you from head to toe."

Liv sits up and gives him eye to eye contact. "Would you wash my hair too?"

He glances at her with that smile she's growing to love "Yes if you'd let me."

She entwines their fingers "What else?"

"I'd give you a full body massage as I introduce myself to our baby, and once you relaxed finally, I'd wrap you in my arms until you fell asleep and hold you all night."

"Well Mr. you had me sold at feed me. Yes, I will allow you to take care of me tonight and any other night if that's the treatment I get."

Fitz wide smile reappears "Well then in that case we need to stop and pick up some personal Items for you."

"We're actually closer to Jay's apartment let's just stop there and I can grab a few personal things. That way you will get a taste of what I like and will know what to stock up on in the future." She states as she punches in Jay's address into the navigation system.

Unable to hold back his playful side Fitz blurts out the first thing that came to mind "Oh, I've already tasted what you're like." Fitz statement causes her to shiver as her core comes to life "I remember you said I taste sweet. No-no you said I taste so good. Is this what I have to look forward to with you?"

"Only if you're not offended."

"I'm not offended. I like when say what's on your mind."

"You were right both times, I stated you taste so good and so sweet. Five months later I can still taste you on my tongue."

Liv does not respond "Too much, too soon?" Liv answers without looking at him "No, I'm just feeling very turned on right now remembering our time together. You do have a magical tongue among other things." This causes Fitz to chuckle before taking her hand and kissing it. "Livvie I promise you I'm going to make you happy."

Liv looks at him intently "Fitz, I don't know what it is about you that drew me to you, but as strange as it sounds, I trust you. Besides, It's too late to back out now. We have a child on the way. We were reckless. We let our attraction for one another take us over a cliff. I don't regret it. I don't regret becoming pregnant. I don't regret the child being yours. I actually welcome it. What's done is done. We just have to figure out how to move forward…together."

He again kisses her on the back of her hand "One day at a time Livvie…together." He then places his hand on her stomach. "Wow. I can't believe I'm really about to become a father. I can't believe you sitting next to me-that we're going to be together. It's weird right?"

Liv laughs "It's a little weird, but it feels right. I don't think you and I being together was a mistake. My ex was cheating, your ex was cheating, they both had a child with someone else, somehow bringing you and I together and now we're having a child as well. All these secret affairs and babies everywhere. Each affair led to the creation of a child. I just can't yet wrap my head around it all."

They arrive at the home Liv was currently sharing with Jay and she retrieves some of her personal items and they drive back to Fitz hotel room. Fitz gathers her things. They make their way inside. Fitz stops "Hold up a minute Liv." He walks over to the check-in and request a second key and add Liv to his unlimited account. He walks back over to Liv and hands her the keycard. "This is for you my love. You also have access to all amenities the hotel offers. I can take you to get your car in the morning."

She takes the keycard and places it in her purse. "Thank you.

The entire ride up Fitz couldn't take his eyes off of Liv. He places his arm around her waist and pulls her close. "I'm glad you're here with me."

"I'm glad too." Liv states with a yawn as she leans further into Fitz body. They reach their destination as the elevator doors open directly into the suite. It has more of a penthouse feel and is very large and spacious with a view from every window from every outer angle. "Make yourself comfortable while I run your bath." He heads across the room and down a long hallway as Liv takes in everything. It was nothing she hadn't seen before, but it was nice none the less. Very modern, black L-shaped sofa with white and black pillows. Two beautiful white side chairs, glass tables, fireplace, black and white statues of lions next to it. Very large open floor plan, with the dining area just off the kitchen. The kitchen had all stainless steel appliance, granted counter tops with modernized ceiling fans in every room.

The sound of Fitz footsteps prompted her to turn around as he approached. "Hi."

"Hi." She repeats

"I place all of your toiletries in the master bathroom." She continues looking up at him before stretching upward and kissing him on the lips. "Thank you."

"Now let's get some food in you. What do you have a taste for?"

She follows as he takes her hand leading her to the kitchen. "What do you have?"

"Everything." He answers "How about something satisfying and quick? It's been a long day and you look like you're really tired."

"I am, what do you have in mind?" He opens the frig and just as he said he had everything fruits veggies, juice, milk, eggs, and a stockpile of frozen meats.

"How about something healthy and fulfilling like my famous Italian sub." She nods as her mouth begins to water at the thought. Fitz begins taking out the ingredients "Let's see, turkey, chicken, roast beef, ham, cheese." He stops and turns to her as she has taken a seat at the counter. "Cheddar, Swiss, or provolone?" He questions

"Provolone." She points while answering

"Okay provolone it is." He takes out the lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, mayo and onion. He holds the onion up posing the question do you want any. Liv frowns and shakes her head no. "I may want to kiss you later." Fitz tosses the onion back in the frig. "Right…no onion." He proceeds to prepare Liv the most scrumptious looking sub. He turns and reaches in the door of the frig pulling out the pickles strategically placing them on the plate. "Wala. Would you like something to drink?" "Water is fine. This looks really tasty. Can I get extra mayo please?" "Extra mayo coming up."

They sat down and began to eat. Liv didn't realize she was so hungry until that sandwich appeared in front of her. She devoured it as Fitz watched in amazement. The moaning sounds Liv made with every bit distracted him greatly. "Dam baby you even eat sexy. The sounds coming from that pretty little mouth of your is tempting me to make love to you right her on the very countertop."

After hearing Fitz as she took a savoring bit, she looks at him almost choking on the large bite. Fitz pats her back. "I'm sorry baby I didn't mean to make you choke." She waves him off as she chews giving herself a moment before speaking. "Are you always like this?"

"Only when I'm truly comfortable with someone." Liv swallows and raises a brow. "So, you're comfortable with me?"

"Yes…wait. You have some mayo rig..ht…here." Dragging out the word here before leaning in and kissing it off before kissing her. Liv could have fell of that stool and died in that moment. Where did this man come from? Her mind questioned as he pulled back giving her a perfect view into those piercing bluish grey eyes.

"You have very intriguing eyes. They tend to change color depending on your mood."

"You've noticed. My mother always said she could tell my mood by my eye color. Something I inherited from my dad I guess, because I noticed the same thing about him."

Liv takes her final bite of her sub "Tell me more about you Fitz." He takes her now empty plate along with his and place them in the dishwasher. "How about we talk more while you bathe." Extending his hand out for hers. They walk to the bedroom that housed the master bath. She notices her travel bag is empty. "You've put my things away?" She questions

"Yes love. That entire dresser has your things inside. Your dresses and work suit are hanging in the walk-in closet. I've reserved and entire side for your things. If you decide to move in here with me."

"We can talk about that more later."

He kisses her "Later is good. You didn't say no, which means there is hope."

"Yes, there is hope."

They walk into the bathroom and Liv is taken with its beauty. They really put a lot of thought into the design. She looks across the room at the large claw shaped jacuzzi tub before turning to the mirror and removing her earrings placing them on the sink. Fitz walks up behind her and watches her in the mirror as he rubs his hands up and down her arms sending chills throughout her entire being. "I need to use the bathroom." She shares

He nods and steps out of the bathroom giving her a moment of privacy.

He returns to find her again standing at the sink pulling her hair up into a bun. "No hair washing tonight?" She looks at him through the mirror as he approaches her standing against her backside. "No. I'm too tired tonight."

"Maybe next time." He states while running his hand up her side to her breast. "Are your breast tender?"

She slowly inhales a breath "Mmm, yes."

"Can I see your stomach?" He asks

She slowly bunches up her dress bringing it over her hips. Fitz assists her in removing it over her head tossing it on the floor. Her baby bump exposed even more now. Standing now in only a matching panty and bra set, he rubs his large hand over, around, up and down her swollen stomach. "You're so beautiful, even more so with my baby growing inside of you." Liv is in a trans like state. This man continues to leave her speechless as he turns her and bend down planting a kiss on her stomach. Something so small but yet so intimate.

She follows his movements as he returns to his upright position. "Ready for your bath now?"

"Only if you'll join me." She answers as she unbuttons his shirt pulling it from his shoulders. He removes his tee as she releases his belt. Together they push down his pants and briefs allowing his cock to spring free. He steps out of them as Liv takes his cock into her hand and strokes him. "Mmm just like I remember." She states while removing her small underwear as he unhooks her bra. She releases him as her bra falls to the floor and joins hands with him as she makes her way to the tub.

She steps in first and waits as Fitz steps in behind her and is comfortably seated before lowering herself with Fitz guiding her motion. She leans back onto his chest as he wraps his arms around her as he places soft kisses along her neckline. "Mmm." She moans out "This feels so good and relaxing."

"The pleasure is all mines my love." The way he calls her his love triggers emotions inside of her she's never felt before. "Fitz are you really in love with me?" She softly questions

"Yes Livvie, from the moment I kissed you. I didn't realize it then, but over time there was no doubt in my mind." He relates while still gently rubbing her stomach. "You've awakened a side of me that has been dormant for some time now. I haven't been able to stop thinking about you. I dreamt of use together going on walks and trips; spending time with my parents the whole nine yards. I've even dreamt of marrying you."

"Wow. Tell me more about you."

"Let's see, I'm and only child. I'm 35, birthday is May 20th. I was raised with both parents

Anna and Gerry, who are the greatest by the way. I'm a lawyer of course, and I own and run my own firm. No children as of yet. I'm graduated from Yale at the top of my class a year early. Past the bar with flying colors, met my ex in college, married her a year later, and now I'm here."

"Okay, so what are you like. Your personality traits, your likes and dislikes?"

"I'm pretty laid back, but very protective about people I love. I'm very passionate and strait forward. I don't like being lied to or deceived. I love children and want at least 5 but I'll settle for 3 and I'm financially and physically stable to do whatever I want in life. I am man who desires love and commitment, and I'm hoping I can have that with you Livvie."

"I want that too Fitz. With you I want that too. I don't have any blood family left. My parent was killed in a plane crash when I was 22. I'm 30 now. I was married right out of college. I'm a graduate of Georgetown. I have the tendency to hold my emotions in, but with a little time and patience I'll eventually talk about things. As you know I also own my own firm. My team consists of friends I met along the way and grew to trust. We all had these big ideas about being the best lawyers with a twist of something different. I was married for two years. I met my ex, we dated and a year later we married. I really thought he loved me. He was so attentive before we got married. I just want to feel loved and cherished. I want to be a team with the man I plan to spend the rest of my life with. I'm not sure if I'm in love with you Fitz, but I know I'm willing to take this journey with you to find out. I have this feeling loving you will be easy, and so will falling in love with you. I've always wanted children…3. So, I'm not sure about 5 but 3 is a good number for me."

"What about your brother? You said you have no blood family? I thought he was blood." Fitz asks out of pure curiosity

"He's my best friend. Jay and I have been friends since high school. He was in my political science class. We had a project together and we just clicked. That type of relationship changes the dynamics from friend to brother and sister. He more of a brother than a best friend but he's good at being both. He's knows and understands me. We both had this will to succeed. His parents disowned him because of some stupid religious belief against him being a gay man after he became an adult and accepted who he was openly. They weren't to accepting of that, so it became just him and I."

Fitz just listened as he washed Liv from head to toe. They both were so relaxed and entuned with each other. It was as if they had known each other forever. "I'm glad you had him there for you Livvie. We all need someone in our corner. Open your legs." She does as he takes the washcloth and washes her lady parts. Liv leans further into him and lets out another moan.

"You like that Livvie? You like me washing and touching you there?"

"Yes, you're so good at it."

He then touches her pearl with his fingers. "Your clit fells a bit swollen Livvie. Is that because of me?"

"Yes. Your touch feels so good down there." She blubbers out as Fitz runs his tongue against her ear and the spot just behind it. "Can I give you a release before I give you that massage, I promised."

"Yesss, pleeease give me a release." She begs prompting Fitz to slide two fingers inside of her. He pumps them in and out, loving her respond to just his touch. He palms her jaw and turns her to him kissing her deeply as he gives her what she wants…a release. Liv's moans became pants of ohhh's and ahhh'ss. Her hips began to rotate to the stroke of his fingers as his thumb circled with just the right amount of pressure as her orgasm begin to build.

"I'm going to make you fall in love with me Livvie, I'm going to love you like you've never known. You are mines now. I can't give you up again. I will give you whatever you ask of me." Suddenly Liv grabs his wrist as her body stiffens and trembles. She cries out his name as she taken over a cliff, climaxing so strong her voice gets caught in her throat. "That's it baby, let go. Oh yes Livvie you're so beautiful when you come." Fitz expresses as he watches her enjoy what his fingers are doing to her.

She finally releases a breath inhaling and exhaling deeply at a rapid pace. Fitz smiles and kiss her face before lifting her to her in his arms. "Let get you to bed, so I can put you to sleep." He steps out of the tub and walks into the bedroom. He places Liv on her feet just in front of the bed as he reaches for the towel intentionally left by him there on the bed. He dries her before releasing her hair. Liv just watches him as he takes care of her as he stated he would.

He then pulls back the covers completely and instructs her to lay down as he puts on a pair of briefs. She does as he takes her lotion that was in her personal things and begins moisturizing her complete body as he talked to their child in her stomach. "Hello little one. This is you dad get used to hearing my voice. I'm so happy that you're growing healthy in there. I can't wait to meet you. I know you are just as beautiful as your mommy. Don't kick mommy too much. I want you to know I already love you so much."

The baby who was tossing and turning after Liv's intense orgasm was now calm and most likely sleeping. "I think he fell asleep." Liv states "I think she did too."

Liv smiles "You really think we're having a girl?"

"I do." He answers, "Now turn on your side." She does and the massage continues until soft snores could be heard coming from her. Fitz climbs in bed behind her pulling up the covers before wrapping Liv in his arms and joining her in the land of sleep.

….

BACK TO THE TEAM…

Huck finished going over the footage on the thumb drive and is not shocked but what he seen. He emails to Jay what he will need for his trip to the soon to be former Mrs. Grant which included pictures of Mellie and Marcus in very compromising positions…literally. They also showed Marcus and Mellie spending family time with Teddy with all smiles. Marcus kissing his jaw, Marcus bathing him, Marcus changing his diaper and clothes. Marcus and Mellie going on long walks with Marcus pushing the stroller. Marcus and Mellie at Marcus's parent's home. Marcus and Mellie's coming and goings between there homes. Jay immediately went and printed the photos and obtained Fitz divorce and made his way to Mellie's home. He would easily file both divorces at the same time.

He spots Mellie's car in the driveway and walk up to the home. "How may I help you?" Mellie asks after opening the door. "Hello, my name is Jay…"

"Yeah, I've seen you next door. What do you want?" Mellie aggressively questions not trusting why he was there due to a phone call she received just minutes before his arrival.

MOMENTS BEFORE…

Mellie home phone rings. "Grant residence." She answers

"Hi Mrs. Grant my name is Maxwell King I live next door. I wanted to know if you knew that my wife is currently sleeping with your husband and they are expecting a baby." Max decided to use his only phone call to start up a war. If he couldn't cause get back at Olivia, he'd use Fitz wife to do it for him. After requesting the officer look up a number for him even though private, he was given the information and allowed to make the call.

"Say that again."

"No need to you heard me correctly. My bitch of a wife is sleeping with your husband and is now pregnant with his child."

"H…how do you know it's his child?"

"Because I had a vasectomy." He lied "My wife and I were having marital problems, so we haven't been seeing each other much. Today I stopped by her office and notice's her and your husband hugged up and she's sporting a baby bump. I ask her about it. We get into a confrontation when your husband steps in as her shining night. Let's just say I'm in jail right now and your husband is off riding into the sunset with my wife."

"Fitz fought over her?"

"I did say I was in jail, didn't I? Yes, he fought me over her. He even has a pet name for her, Livvie."

"What's your number Maxwell, If what you say is true I will be surely contact you."

"Oh it's true, but whatever. I'm locked up so you won't get an answer." He gives her the number anyway. They end the call. Mellie is shocked, stunned, lost, and feeling disorientated when her doorbell rings.

BACK TO THE PRESENT…

"Yeah, I've seen you next door. What do you want?"

Jay doesn't like her energy, so he takes control of the situation handing her a picture of her giving Marcus a blow job as he walks right past her into her home. "I think you and I need to talk."

Mellie looks at the picture with wide eyes. She didn't even realize Jay had walked past her into her home until moments later. She closes the door. "Why do you have this? Who sent you and what do they want? Did the bitch next door send you? I know about her and my husband." Jay doesn't acknowledge her statement instead he gets to the point of his visit. "I'm here on behalf of my client Fitzgerald Grant III. It has been brought to our attention that you have a media interview scheduled as a way to extort money from my client in order to get you to sign the divorce papers and since you wan to play dirty we decided to play dirtier, except we're not playing, we're planning. Planning to destroy you and everything you represent starting with your relationships with your child's father Marcus." He begins strategically placing the pictures of her and Marcus on the dining room table as Mellie walks over and looks at them all. "If you're going to scandalize his name my boss is prepared to ruin yours."

"Who is your boss?" She questions as if she's in a trance staring at all the photos

"Olivia Pope, the bitch next door."

"You mean the bitch screwing my husband."

"Yes, she also the divorced soon to be mother of his child. No secrets here." Mellie stops and glares with hatred at him. "I'm sure right now Ashley is tossing the scheduled interview as we speak. She's not dumb enough to go up against Olivia Pope and Associates. You need to check our background; we never lose. We also have someone meeting with Marcus in this moment. A DNA sample of your son should be available by the end of the day. Mr. Walker has been made aware of my client's name on his son's birth certificate. You may want to get that changed as soon as possible, preferably today or we will sue you for everything you got including this beautiful home that was gifted to you."

Mellie feeling defeated gives in. "What do you want?"

Jay slaps down the divorce papers "Sign." He states

Mellie signs the paperwork without hesitation although flustered and angry. "Now what?"

"Now you go on with you day. Just stay the fuck away from my client and…" He pauses for more effect "My boss." With that he walks out of the door and back to his car driving off to file the paperwork.

…

Just as Jay stated Marcus and Ashley were paid a visit by one of the Pope and Associates and things did indeed sway in their favor. Marcus was livid and immediately made plans to fight for full custody of his son, and Ashley of course apologized and cancelled the interview followed by a call to Fitz leaving him a very sincere message. In the meantime, our couple was basting in total bliss sleeping in each others arms with a unknown and unseen storm brewing in the minds of their ex's.

A/N: Until next time…Keke
