Olivia felt like someone was watching her in her sleep and she opened to see Tabitha standing a few feet away with Lana and Luna in her hips. A wide smile burst across her face and instantly Olivia was flushed with embarrassment. Fitz stretched and sat up only to see Tabitha as well. They were naked under the sheets and it was obvious.

"Titi," he said surprised.

"Looks like you two had fun last night."

Olivia covered her face with the blanket and hid.

"Breakfast is ready," Tabitha said with a smile.

Lana giggled and clapped as Tabitha walked them out of the room and closed the door.

Fitz laughed and pulled the sheet from Olivia's face.

"Good morning," he said as he kissed her.

"Oh my god, I can't believe she saw us."

Fitz shrugged.

"Don't worry about it, it's just Titi."

Olivia chuckled and sat up.

"Lana was laughing at us too."

Fitz laughed.

"Yeah, she a little troublemaker."

Fitz yawned and stretched and stood up from their makeshift bed on the floor. He took Olivia's hand and pulled her up as well and they both walked to the bathroom. She stepped in front of the mirror and looked over her appearance which wasn't too bad, she had a serious case of bedhead and a few love bites by her clavicle and ribs. Fitz turned on the faucet in the shower and then walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her shoulder.

"Your hair looks crazy," he teased.

She chuckled and rolled her eyes.

"Well look who's talking?"

His hair was disheveled as well and he also had a few love bites of his own.

"I'd take crazy hair over the blue balls I've had to struggle with for two years."

Olivia laughed in agreement.

"Yeah, I really needed last night, you have no idea."

He kissed her shoulder again.

"Come on, our kids are waiting downstairs and I wanna have sex with you in the shower before we go."

She laughed as he pulled her into the shower and kissed her as he held her under the showerhead. Once they were both soaking wet he backed her up against the wall and turned her around. She braced herself as he slipped two fingers in to make sure she was wet enough and then entered her. She squealed in delight because after two years of celibacy the feeling of him inside her brought her absolute joy and ecstasy and she couldn't hide it. Fitz cupped her breasts and bite her shoulder as he thrusted from behind and before she knew it they came together braced against the wall.

After their quickie, they showered, brushed their teeth and dressed then headed downstairs to the kitchen. It was just Tabitha, Luna and Lana and a spread of breakfast.

When Lana and Luna saw them they both started screaming.

"Mama!"

"Baba!"

"Hi babies," Olivia said with a smile.

They walked over to Titi, Olivia took Luna, Fitz took Lana. Titi smirked at them both as if she knew what they'd just done.

"Where's Karen and here friends?"

"She took them to show them her horses."

"Oh okay," Fitz said with a shrug.

He kissed Lana and sat with her by the kitchen island.

"Morning baby girl," he said as he kissed her stomach, "Liv, we made some really good looking kids."

Olivia chuckled and sat beside him with Luna.

"So Thomas, what is your plan?" Tabitha asked.

"What do you mean?"

Tabitha took a sip of her tea and sat opposite them on the island.

"Well, no one knows about the twins, you can't keep them hidden forever, I can't believe you kept them from me for so long, I didn't get to see them when they were born, I didn't get to see Olivia when she was pregnant, I mean I just can't believe you'd do that," she scolded.

Olivia was about to say something but Fitz stopped her, he got the sense she was gonna no to fess up to the fact she was the one who didn't tell him but that wouldn't help and he knew Tabitha would get over it sooner or later, especially if they had another baby she could get consumed with.

"I'm really sorry Titi, I don't know what I was thinking."

"I don't know what you were thinking either."

Although the conversation was uncomfortable, Olivia appreciated the fact that Fitz was taking the fall for her but apart of moving forward meant owning up to what she did.

"It was me."

"What?" Tabitha asked, confused.

"Liv-" Fitz protested.

"No, it was me, I didn't tell Fitz about the girls until they were almost 5 months old."

Tabitha was surprised.

"Why did you do that?"

"Bad judgment," Olivia confessed.

"Well he still had seven months, I still blame you Thomas but I think it's noble you didn't rat out your girlfriend, I raised you right."

Fitz laughed.

"So does this mean you'll stop chastising me?"

"No, I never got to see them fresh out the womb, I'm still mad about that."

"Olivia has pictures."

"Oh yes that's right, where are they?"

"I have a bunch of them on my phone."

Olivia reached into pocket and pulled out her phone then proceeded to show her a few pictures of her newborn daughters.

"So, how was it, taking care of twin girls on your own, you know, since deadbeat Thomas over there wasn't present."

Fitz sighed.

"Titi come on," he whined.

Tabitha laughed and so did Olivia.

"I wasn't exactly alone, my best friend Abby was there with practically everyday, she's their godmother and she took that role very seriously, I had a baby nurse for the first month and then my nanny Bonnie helped out but I loved it. When I took them home from the hospital, I thought it was gonna be overwhelming to have two, I had never even changed a diaper before I gave birth so I had no idea what to expect but I have to say being a mom, so far has been amazing. The first month, I completely took off from my firm to just to stay home with them and bond with them and learn how to take care of them and then after the first month I worked from home and then when they were 3 months old I went back to work which wasn't easy, it is not easy being working mom. You worry about them every minute of everyday, I think their nanny wanted to strangle me cause I called her so much during the day when I was supposed to be working."

Tabitha and Fitz laughed.

"How much did they weigh?"

"5 pounds each, they were born at 35 weeks and a half."

"They came early, was it a good delivery?"

Fitz listened intently, these were all questions he never got to ask

"Oh no, it was terrible. I was under the impression that it wouldn't be that bad, let me tell you, it was worse than I imagined possible. I didn't want to take the epidural but when those contractions started getting closer, I had to."

Tabitha chuckled.

"Who was born first?"

"Luna, just a minute before Lana," Olivia turned to Luna and kissed her, "isn't that right pumpkin."

She reached over to Lana and pinched her cheeks.

"Lana is my younger sugar muffin."

Lana giggled and clapped her hands as if she understood what Olivia was saying.

Tabitha cleared her throat and shifted her position.

"Why is Lana's hair so long and Luna's isn't?"

Olivia and Fitz looked at each other, they hadn't told Tabitha about Luna's battle with cancer. She watched to see what Fitz was going to do.

"Luna got diagnosed with leukemia at 5 months, she went through treatment and she's in remission now," Fitz said.

Tabitha's mouth fell open but she didn't say anything for a while then she walked over to Olivia and took Luna and kissed her.

"Oh my poor sweet baby."

Luna giggled and wiggled out of Tabitha's arms and stretched to Olivia.

"Nope, you're staying with me little baby."

She walked back to the other side of the counter with Luna. Olivia expected Luna to fuss but she didn't, she clapped and switched her pacifier around in her mouth and didn't little things to keep herself busy.

"Tell me everything," Tabitha demanded.

Olivia looked to Fitz who gestured for her to go on, she knew he was going to leave her to explain it in her own.

They sat together for almost an hour while Olivia detailed everything that happened leading up to Luna's diagnosis and after. She got the sense that Tabitha wasn't happy about how and when she decided to share Luna's diagnosis with Fitz but she was very subtle about her disapproval.

After the very awkward and gloomy conversation, she decided it was time to get away.

"Fitz, do you wanna take the girls for a walk with me?"

Sensing that she wanted to get away, Fitz agreed.

"Yeah, sure, let's go."

He got up from with chair with Lana and followed Olivia out to the porch.

"Are you okay," he asked as they walked down the trail.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just wanted to talk about what we're going to do next, Tabitha made some good points, we can't keep them hidden forever, we have to figure something out, I haven't watched the news yet but I'm sure they must have pictures from yesterday, floating all around."

"Well, I've kind of been thinking, we conceived the twins a month before I filed for divorce from Mellie but they were born at 35 weeks instead of 40 weeks like a regular presidency so that gives us a month of wiggle room, we could say we conceived them after I filed for divorce which isn't perfect but it's better than saying it was before the filing and no one would be the wiser because they can't really prove that the twins came early."

"I've been thinking about that as well and I think that's good but what about the entire secret relationship, I mean they're about to be a year old, that gonna be a hard pill for people to swallow."

"I'll admit that, so I guess we just have to weigh our options, politically it won't be good not at first, reelections are coming up but depending on how this plays out that might be off the table. I could resign but it would come out anyways and in that case I wouldn't want them to feel like I'm ashamed of them and I resign in disgrace once they're old enough to understand all this, I'd rather them know that I loved them and their mom and when all this came out, we faced this together but if I have to resign I'll do that, if we stay and fight through this, I'll do that too, just tell me what you think?"

Olivia sighed.

"I don't know, this was sort of what I struggled with whenever I thought about telling you, it's difficult either way and you're right, I wouldn't want them to feel like they were the center or some sort of big shame swirl, you know."

"Definitely not."

"What if we," Olivia paused, thinking to herself before she began again, "we could tell them that we remained close friends after I left the whitehouse, after you filed for divorce, we had sex and I got pregnant, you didn't tell anyone because, well, I guess we could say I hid it from you, it takes the blame off you."

They stopped under a large willow tree and sat on the grass under the shade. They both let go of the girls and allowed them to move around in the thick, short blanket of grass under the tree.

"Liv, I'm not letting you take the blame for anything, we're in this together all the way. I'd be more comfortable with telling them that I've always wanted another child and as a close friend of mine for years, we spoke casually about our desire for children, after I filed for divorce, we decided, we could tell them it was rash or planned, but we decided to get pregnant. They'll ask why I kept it a secret or why we kept it a secret and we'd tell them it was a private matter."

"Do you think that'll work?"

"I think, it'll make us seem in control of the situation, people could disagree with our decision to have children out of wedlock, they could disagree with our timing being that it was so soon after the divorce, they could disagree with our decision to keep it a secret but it was our decision, no laws were broken, no conflicts of interest, you don't work for the government, I think that's the best we could hope for. People could be angry and vote me out of office but honestly, I'd be okay with that because being president doesn't compare, not even a fraction of a percentage to the immense amount of joy it brings me to see our little girls everyday, and to know we conceived them out of love and in the face of difficulty, you decided to keep them and love them and nurture them, in my absence, regardless of why I wasn't there."

Olivia smiled.

"You seriously have to kiss me now."

Fitz chuckled and held her face and gave her a wet kiss.

"I think I picked a good baby daddy."

Fitz smiled and looked over to the girls who were crawling around on the grass.

"We have some gorgeous girls," Fitz said casually.

"I know right," Olivia agreed, "I think it's a good plan, do you think we should talk to Cyrus and see what he has to say about all of this."

"I guess so, although if he's negative and starts lecturing, I'll lose it."

"I think he's a changed man."

"Maybe, you can never be too sure with him."

"That's true," she agreed, "I'm not looking forward to all the craziness that's going to ensure in the next few months, at least they're babies, they don't have to go to school and deal with other kids, we can keep them them locked up in the whitehouse but what about Karen?"

"I think Karen will be fine, her school is really good about stuff like that."

They sat out under the tree for a while until the girls began to get cranky because it was time for their nap so they took them back to the house, fed them then put them to bed in Fitz's bedroom.

Karen and her friends came back from horse riding around 1pm but they didn't linger, they just grabbed lunch and then went back out to explore the ranch. Karen was so occupied with entertaining her friends that she didn't bother to look for Fitz and Olivia who were back in the master bedroom. The twins were fast asleep on the huge king sized bed and Fitz thought it was the perfect opportunity to get a good midday quickie in before the twins woke up. He walked up behind Olivia who was leaned over on the bed, checking the twins to make sure they were comfortable in their sleep. He pulled her back and wrapped his arms around her body.

"I think they're fine."

He kissed the crook of her neck and turned her around so she could face him and then he kissed her on the lips as lifted her in the air and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He then walked her over to the couch in the opposite side of the room and leaned her over against the back of the couch. He pulled her dress off and threw it in the floor and then pulled down her underwear quickly because suddenly there was an overwhelming sense of urgency for them both. They weren't all the way off before he gave up and started undoing his pants and pulled them down as well.

"Hurry," Olivia said as she spread her legs a little wider and waited to feel him inside her.

Fitz chuckled, he was moving as fast as he could, he didn't realize Olivia was that aroused. She was wet for him, even before he pulled her off the bed and brought her to the couch. From the minute she realized it was time to put the girls to bed she was thinking of how she was going to spend their free time together. She spent two years being celibate and now she was ravenous, and rightfully so.

Once Fitz had his pants down, he quickly felt between her legs to make sure she was aroused enough and then he slid his cock in slowly.

Olivia was beside herself, she couldn't describe how good it felt to experience him that way again after almost two years. They both came way too quick for their liking but the combination of excitement and want was just too strong for them to hold out.

After they'd made themselves decent, they both laid on the couch waiting for the twins to wake up.

"When do we leave?"

"At 3."

She sat up.

"What?"

"Yeah, it's Sunday, I have work tomorrow. Camp is over for Karen and her friends so they'll just be running around in her room and then I think they go home on Tuesday, I have to ask Karen."

"Oh okay, we have an hour till we leave then. The girls should be waking up in a few minutes. Who's getting Karen and her friends ready?"

"The Nannys."

"Okay Richie Rich," she teased.

"Do you wanna babysit Karen and her friends?"

"Of course not."

Fitz laughed.

"That's what I thought."

She laughed and they laid together until the girls woke up and shortly after feeding them, they gathered their belongings and headed back to D.C.
