Olivia walked into her apartment with Luna in hand, Fitz walked in behind her with Lana in hand and Karen by his side. It was late Friday night and Fitz and Karen were going to sleepover and leave in the morning. After being in the hospital for over three months the girls were a week away from being 9 months old. Olivia thought about maybe having friends over to celebrate them being home but decided against it because she didn't want that many people around Luna with her immune system still being so fragile. They were both asleep, she brought Luna to her crib and gently placed her inside, Fitz followed behind her and did the same with Lana. Once both the girls were in the crib and fast asleep, they walked back out to the living room.

"Hey Karen, do you want to sleep in my bed tonight?" Olivia asked.

"Yeah."

"Okay, so why don't you go change and put on your pj's, I'll be there in a sec."

Karen nodded and headed to the bedroom.

"You can sleep in the guest room," Olivia paused, "by the way, Bonnie is coming by tomorrow to see the girls, so if you want to stick around and meet her you can."

"I 'd love to meet her but I don't think I'll need the guest room tonight, I have a lot of briefing packets I need to look over tonight so I was just gonna sit in the girls nursery and do it."

"I was gonna be in the nursery."

"It's okay, we can both be in there together."

Olivia gave him a small shrug and walked off. Fitz didn't know what to make of it so he ignored it. He went into Olivia's room to find Karen in her pajamas. He had helped her pack an overnight bag because they had already discussed that Karen would be staying for the weekend and coming home on Sunday evening. Once he tucked her in and gave her a kiss goodnight he headed to the bathroom. The door was closed and he could hear the shower running so he knew Olivia was in there. The apartment was large with two bathrooms so he went to the other bathroom. When he finished in the bathroom, he changed out of his suit into just his undershirt and pants, grabbed his files and sat on the floor by the window in the nursery and turned on the floor lamp and began going over his packets.

About an hour later, Olivia emerged in a terry robe, she walked over to the rocking chair and sat with her legs propped up on the knitted pouf.

"Goodnight," she murmured softly.

"Goodnight," he returned as he sat working through the papers.

The next morning Bonnie arrived early at 8:30 in the morning. Both Fitz, Olivia and the girls were up, Karen however was still fast asleep. Fitz helped Olivia ready the girls for their day. Luna still had her Hickman catheter inserted in her chest, so they couldn't give her a bath, instead opting to wipe her up but Lana was able to bathe. Once they were clean , they fed them both and in the middle of their feeding, Bonnie knocked.

"Come in," Olivia called, Bonnie had her own key.

Bonnie opened the door, confused as to why armed men were outside her door and gave her a pat down before she was able to enter the apartment.

"Olivia, why are there men outside?"

Bonnie stopped in her tracks when she saw Fitz. Olivia could see Bonnie trying to process seeing Fitz.

"Bonnie, this is-"

"President Grant," Bonnie said, not waiting for Olivia to finish.

"Uhm okay, let me just get this out-of-the-way, Fitz is - their… father."

She waited for Bonnie's response.

"Wow, well they definitely have his eyes, always wondered where they got that from," Bonnie chuckled.

Olivia was glad Bonnie didn't seem to freak out. She had her sign a non disclosure before she hired her so she knew it was not like she could tell anyone even if she wanted to.

Bonnie didn't stay very long, after all she would officially start her regular work schedule on the following Monday. While Luna was in the hospital, Olivia had her visit the hospital weekly to see the girls just so that once she started her schedule again, she wouldn't seem like a stranger to them. Once she left, Fitz left shortly after as well to go take care of some things at the white house.

Monday morning, bright and early, Olivia and Bonnie went to the hospital with both the girls for an examination with Dr. Porpentine. He examined Luna the way he usually did and checked her blood count, which luckily was still rising and then sent them on their way. He told her she would have to visit three times a week until he was confident Luna was in the clear, so he also assigned her a home nurse.

She visited three times a week until the doctor changed it to twice a week, then once a week. Each week that passed Luna got stronger and stronger. They removed the catheter shortly after she came home and soon after that she began hitting her milestones one after the other. She began sitting up on her own, not that she hadn't done it while in the hospital but this time, she sat up for longer periods of time. Three and a half weeks after she came home she said her first word, 'Baba' in reference to Fitz. He was ecstatic that he was the first word she said. Then it was 'mama' a week after and then 'bo' for bonnie. While Lana hadn't begun speaking as yet, she was practically running. She touched everything in sight, they had to childproof everything in reach of the girls. She was a mischief maker, she often would take Luna's toys or pacifier away from her and giggled when she cried. Lana was the more aggressive of the two, while Luna was passive. About a month after Lana began speaking, Lana said her first word, 'mama' and then it was 'kaka' for Karen and 'papa' for Fitz. Both Lana and Luna were happy and progressing nicely.

Fitz had developed a routine, he slept over in the guest room every weekend and so did Karen, most nights would come by and spend a few hours with them and then leave for the white house after. It had been his routine for the two months since Luna had been home. Karen slept over along with him most weekends and if he would allow it, she would have slept there most weekdays as well.

Everything was going smoothly, all they were waiting for was Dr. Porpentine to officially declare that Luna was in remission but other than that, everything was as normal as it could get. Olivia started working from home again, she hadn't been to the office in months and she decided that until she felt completely comfortable that Luna was 100% cancer free and healthy, she probably wouldn't work at the office.

She sat on the park bench with Abby, who wouldn't shut up about how great things were going between her and Richard. Olivia was never a jealous person but considering the fact that things between her and Fitz were at an utter stand still and she hadn't had sex since she found out she was pregnant with the twins, the last thing she wanted to hear was Abby's very detailed descriptions of sex with Richard.

Olivia sat for almost an hour, listening and commenting every so often until she wouldn't take it anymore.

"Hey Abby, let's bring the girls inside, they look sleepy."

Abby stopped mid sentence.

"Uhh sure, let's go."

They walked down the block and crossed the street over to the apartment. Olivia stopped at her mailbox to collect the mail on her way up. She flipped through the lot, she got a few magazines and a letter from the hospital and insurance company. She decided to wait until she got back to the apartment to open it. When she met up with Abby at the elevator and got back to the apartment, the girls were more energetic than ever. It took them a while to settle down enough for their midday nap but once they finally did settle down enough to sleep, Olivia decided to see what the hospital sent her.

She sat down beside Abby on the couch and opened the mail. It was Luna's bill and it left Olivia briefly speechless.

"What's wrong," Abby asked.

Olivia didn't say anything, she just handed her the bill. Abby skimmed over it and gasped.

"What the fuck! 800 grand for a bone marrow transplant."

Olivia smiled.

"Look at the total after the insurance paid their part," Olivia chuckled humorlessly.

"Wow Liv, you have a $400,000 hospital bill, if Fitz wasn't wealthy , I'd be worried."

Olivia turned to face Abby.

"Uhm, what does Fitz have to do with this?" she asked.

"He's their father, he's gonna have to bear some of the costs? Right? Preferably all of it."

"He's not on their birth certificate and it doesn't matter because I can pay for it. It's fine."

Abby looked up at the ceiling, confused.

"Are you an idiot? That's a $400,000 bill and he's a billionaire, why would you not let him pay for it."

"I'll pay for this out of my savings, it'll be fine. It's not the end of the world."

Abby got up from her chair.

"You're being obnoxious and stupid."

"Why do you care so much about what Fitz pays for?"

Abby stormed off and Olivia followed her.

"Abby I'm serious," she yelled after her but Abby didn't bother to stop. She just made her way out the door and down the hallway. Olivia could be stubborn, it was always her way or nothing else but she wasn't stupid. After getting to know Fitz and realizing that he really wasn't as horrible as she imaginenand, he certainly wasn't a bad father, she decided to tell him. She pulled out her cell and called his office, she was sure he was there. Lauren picked up and then transferred her to Fitz.

"Gabby, what's up?" he teased.

"Ha ha that's always so funny and it never gets old, does it?"

"No it doesn't," he chuckled,

"I didn't call to fraternize, not at this second, I actually called because I'm a little annoyed at Olivia."

"Why?"

"The hospital bill came today, it's over $400,000 and she plans on paying the entire thing by herself. She didn't even plan on telling you."

Fitz sighed, "fuck- it's my fault-"

"What-why?"

"Thanks Gabby, I'll fix it," he said.

Abby sighed. "Wait-"

"Bye Gabby."

Fitz hung up and had Lauren call the hospital immediately so he could speak with Dr. Porpentine. He sorted out payment of Luna's bill with the doctor and then wrote a large check to the hospital and had one of the white house aides deliver it.

He wasn't angry with Olivia. For a while they were getting closer but now the opposite was happening. They were completely out of sink and he now realized it was because he hadn't helped financially. It was something he never had to think about with Karen because he had accountants and money managers that took care of all the expenses. He was embarrassed that it wasn't something that occurred to him.

With the twins nearing 1 years old, there was a lot that needed to be discussed and even more that needed to be done. Later that night, after he put Karen to bed, he made his way over to her apartment. When she opened the door, she didn't look pleased to see him.

"We need to talk."
