I must warn you all, as you know I love cliffhangers but decided to give you guys a break. Well this chapter has one…in the beginning and maybe the end too. You will be shocked and maybe a little disappointed, but it will get better. I promise. I decided to shake things up a bit because I want to extend the story. I want to make Fitz work a little harder, and Olivia make him earn her. I think you all get the point, if not, keep reading and It will all makes sense by the end of this story. Well let's get to the story.

Happy Reading!

Liv and Fitz are finally dressed and ready to head out the door when Liv feels a jerking motion and hear Fitz calling her name. "Livvie, Livvie baby wake up."

Liv jolts awake and stares at Fitz in confusion. She looks around and notes that they are still in their LA apartment. She grabs her head as to comfort the pounding headache she has. "Hi."

"Hi."

"We've got to get moving. I need to get back for a meeting soon."

Liv squints from the light coming from all the windows and her pounding head. She lowers her eyes to look at her ring finger and finds it bare. No ring. So that means no proposal. No engagement. Was it all a dream? It had to be, either that or Fitz took the ring back.

Fitz watches Liv in concern. She appears to be confused and slightly hungover. "Are you okay love?"

Liv attempt to sit up "I…I…yes I think so. My head is killing me."

"Here love, I have your aspirin and orange juice ready. I also made us some breakfast."

Liv looks up at him with surprise "You made us breakfast as in you cooked it or ordered it?"

Fitz chuckles "I prepared it with my own hands just for you my love."

"Wow you cook too. I'm learning more and more about you each day. Fitz, is this the first time I woke up this morning?"

"Yeah love. You were out cold. You didn't even wake up when I got out of bed. You actually crashed out last night or shall I say the early morning during our love making. That last orgasm was intense. I put it on you good. I am a good lover after all, and after you shared that you love me. I needed to give you all of me and you gave me all of you in return. I've never done that before…given myself to anyone completely….until you. We're in this together now Livvie, okay?"

"Okay." She softly states looking down at her hands

"Say it Livvie. I need to hear you say it."

"We're I n this together." She repeats "Can I ask you something?" she adds

Liv is so lost and confused right now. How could it not be real? It felt so real. She needed some sense of understanding. How could it not be real? "Sure, my love anything."

"After we made love, did we discuss anything?"

"No baby as I said you passed out from exhaustion."

"And today, right now was the first and only time I woke up since then?"

"Yes love, why? What's going on? Was something else supposed to happen? I'm not understanding where you're going with this question."

Liv again looks at her ring finger and decided to go with the dream scenario "How did you handle Zoey? Did you kill her or have her killed? Your face and neck tell me something physical happened."

Fitz inhales and releases a breath "She attacked me once I told her it was over. I let her release her anger on me until I had enough, but I did not physically hurt her or have her killed. She's alive, but she and I are done. She tried to fool me by stating she was pregnant. I simply had a doctor test her in front of me and called her out on her lie. She understands they she and I are done. You don't have to worry about her anymore Livvie. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Okay." He repeats watching Liv rub her ring finger as it there was something there

Liv wanted so bad to share her dream with him, but she didn't want to put the idea in his head of marriage. She would rather he did that on his own like in the dream.

"You know my parents retirement party is coming up, and I would really like to be there."

"When is it?"

"Next weekend on the 2nd."

"I will clear my schedule."

"Really? You're coming with me?"

"Yes, my love. I think it's time I meet your parents." Liv is flabbergasted at his response. She feels like she's reliving a deJa'vu, so she continues "What about your mom? Have you thought anymore about reaching out to her? I would love to meet her."

"Maybe one day Liv. I just don't see that happening right now." Liv nods and drops the subject "Now come on love eat. You'll need something in your stomach to coat the alcohol." Liv reaches for the serving tray and begins to slowly eat with slight disappointment that there was no ring on her finger.

This time they actually do shower and dressed to head back to Italy.

One week has past and Liv wakes up to an empty bed. She showers the remnants of their love making from her and heads down. She walks out into the garden where she sees Fitz sitting with Cyrus having breakfast. She knows that if Cyrus is there he has to leave soon if not immediately and since his breakfast plate was left with scraps of food, she knew he had already eaten. She approaches him and leans in and pulls his face to her and plants a succulent kiss right on his lips tongue and all. Cyrus groans and looks off into the distance clearly agitated from the display. He knew Liv was marking her territory as to let him know Fitz was now hers to do, be, and sway to her over him.

The minute-long kiss finally is over "Hi."

"Hi." He answers with a loving smile

She moves to sit in the second seat putting her between him and Cyrus whereas she is facing both of them. "I see you've finished your breakfast."

"Yes. my love, I'm sorry I didn't wait for you. I didn't want to wake you besides, I have a very important meeting this morning."

Liv turns to Cyrus "Good morning Cyrus." She states after intentionally not speaking to him right away, he nods in return

She turns her attention back to Fitz "It's okay love, I'm not feeling well anyway. I probably won't eat much."

"Do you think you need to see a doctor? I can have Diego take you."

"No love. I'll be fine. I will just rest until you return and pack to fly back to LA. I'm just a bit wore out." She glances at him while making her statement with a sexual undertone

Fitz smirks and start to respond when his phone vibrates in his hand. "Well let me know if you change your mind love, I have to take this call, excuse me a moment." He gets up and walks away taking the call.

Liv turns back to Cyrus crossing her legs "You don't like me very much do you Cyrus?"

"I don't dislike you Olivia, it's just since you arrived there's been conflict with the family. Fitz is changing because of you, becoming soft, distracted even, hopefully it won't get him killed." With that statement he gets up and walks away leaving Liv glaring at the back of his head

Liv eats as much as she could stomach when she's hit with a wave of nausea. She takes a moment to gather herself. "Are you okay?" The sound of Diego's voice startles her "Oh, hi Diego. I'm fine just a little tired. I'm just going to head up and rest a bit more before I pack for our trip."

"Okay." Diego agrees keeping his thoughts to himself

After a few moment Liv feels better and heads back up to her bedroom to rest before she prepared for her trip back to LA.

Two hours later she received a call from Fitz. "Hi."

"Hi." Fitz respond feeling extremely happy to hear her voice. "I miss you."

She smiles "I miss you too. Are you on your way?"

"That's the reason for my call. Diego is going to bring you to me at the airport. I'm closer there then home. That way we can make up time since I'm running behind. Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, I was just really tired, but I feel fine now, but I want to say thank you baby."

"For what love?"

"Wanting to meet my parents. I really appreciate you wanting to do this."

"Well Livvie you are the love of my life and will one day be my wife." Liv heart rate increases

"I love you babe."

"I love you too, see you at the airport."

"See you there." Liv hangs up and meets Diego at the door "Ready?"

"Ready."

They leave and take the hour drive to the airport. Liv question Diego about family and if he had any. He informs her that he does not and was always a loner. He shared with her that he was from the US and was a moment from being homeless when he met Fitz. He was being attacked by three men when one of them stabbed him allowing them to get the best of him when Fitz appeared out of nowhere and helped him take them down. Killing all three of them. Leaving the bodies right where they lay.

Diego then told Fitz he needed a computer so he could erase the camera's attached to a building just above them. Fitz walks him to his car and hands him his computer and Diego does his magic. Fitz was impressed and asked Diego where he learned such skills. He explained his military background. Fitz asked him if he ever been to Italy and if he wanted a job. They have been inseparable ever since.

Liv was impressed and finally understood Diego's loyalty to Fitz.

They finally arrive and Liv spots Fitz right away standing only feet from his jet as they pulled in next to his other blacked out sedan with Tom flagged next to him. There are five other bodyguards from his security team also standing with guns as they scanned the area. Fitz smiles as they approach. Once the sedan comes to a complete stop one of Fitz security men steps forward to open Olivia's door.

At the same time Diego is stepping out of the driver seat and immediately feel the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. He momentarily stops and scans the area. Tom sees this and does the same as does the team. Fitz is focused on Olivia and she is focused on him when Diego yells out. "FITZ, OLIVIA GET DOWN!" He spots a lump on the roof of the hanger which indicates something is up there, possibly a person.

Tom speaks into his ear-piece "Sec alert, sec alert!" At the same time Fitz pulls Olivia down as she reaches him as Diego yells out for them to get down. He runs with her behind the protection of the sedan just as shots rang out. Fitz fells the burn to his arm but doesn't acknowledge it. His only concern was to keep Olivia safe.

Diego and Tom each have pulled their guns and aim in the direction of the hanger's rooftop as does the security team. The control tower workers who are also on Fitz security team and trained shooters jump into action after Tom sent out the call. Taking up position in the tower and scanning the rooftop of the hanger as well and spots two people; a man with a long scope-semi automatic aimed in the direction of the cars and people on the ground. "Two bougies on the roof at your 12 o'clock team cap." The information was coming over the ear-piece's so fast and everyone responded in like.

Meanwhile just before the shot rang out on the rooftop Zoey and her gunman watched as Olivia's finally arrives. She was angry that Fitz dismissed her for this American woman. If she couldn't have him neither would she. She knew he was scheduled to fly out after spying on the last meeting he had with the bosses. She made a call to one of her father's many gunmen who had done work for her before and had him meet her at the airport. She wanted to see the lights in Olivia go out of her. She wanted to see Fitz suffer after seeing his beloved new woman was dead in his arms. She was totally losing her sense of sanity.

Once Olivia stepped out of the vehicle the gunman took aim. "Shoot her, shoot her now dammit!" Zoey yells in a whisper at the gunman. "I don't have a clear shot yet. The bodyguard is blocking my view, plus you said not to hit Mr. Grant, give me a minute."

Her patience is none-existent. She wanted Olivia dead. During her rant she shoves the gunman causing him to fire prematurely giving away his location. He sees Fitz jerk back as his misfired bullet hits him in the shoulder as he was pulling Olivia to safety. Zoey also sees this and without thinking she stands with eyes bulged, heart palpitating she whispers out his name "Fitz!" with her misguided concern for him. That when the return fire started from all angles.

The pilot from the plane also part of the security team has retrieved a automatic gun with scope from a hidden wall of the cabin and was now crouching in the entryway of the plane aiming at the hanger rooftop as well. Diego was the first to return fire after taking aim at the lump which was the head of the shooter as Tom notices Zoey stand and takes aim at her, not knowing it was Zoey at the time. He just saw her as a threat. Diego's bullet penetrates the gunman's head as Tom's bullet hits Zoey in the chest as several other bullets from Fitz's team add to the count. They both fall to the ground and the security in the tower complete the task to eliminate the threat with several final shots to both their heads.

"Threat contained team cap. Safe to approach." The security in the tower states over the ear-piece. Tom instructs the team stay alert.

During all the shooting and pandemonium Fitz has pulled Liv to safety as she begins to scream with panic. Fitz is afraid she will faint the situation so he immediately try to calm her. "Ahhhh, oh may god, someone's shooting at us Fitz!" She screams with every shot heard. The sound of bullet ricocheting off the vehicles has her scared shitless. "It's okay Livvie. I got you love. I won't let anything happen to you. Just calm down baby. I got you. I got you my love." Fitz holds Liv close to his body covering her with his own. The gunfire seemed to go on forever, but it was only a matter of minutes before it all stopped.

Fitz looks up at Tom as he's standing only feet from him and Liv still aiming his gun and instructing his team when he turns to Fitz. "The threat has been taken down, but we need to clear the perimeter." Fitz nods as he feels Liv trembling in his arms "Its okay baby my men got this. No harm will come to you my love, I promise you."

Liv is surprised even at herself because the feel of Fitz strong arms around her and his deep soothing voice has indeed kept her calm. She had not fainted from all the anxiety and fear she was experiencing, and it was all because of Fitz. She felt safe in his arms even with all the gunfire going on around them…she yet felt safe and had not fainted.

Tom informs Fitz that his team is moving in to check the target. Fitz had yet to pull his own gun because he trusted his guys.

Liv finally lifts her head from being buried in Fitz chest and panics "Oh may god Fitz baby you're bleeding. You've been shot. You're bleeding Fitz."

He looks down at his shoulder not feeling any pain from the adrenaline pumping throughout his body. "Its just a graze wound baby. I'm okay. The bullet only grazed me." He explains as Liv rips at his shirt to get a better look and is relieved to see it is truly only a graze wound. The bullet did not penetrate his shoulder.

"Boss you okay?" Tom questions

"I'm good. I just got grazed."

Tom finally gets confirmation from the team that everything is clear. He also gets news he wasn't expecting-that one of the dead was Zoey. Tom drops his head because he knows what this means…war. Tom looks at Fitz as Diego walks around the sedan and into his view as well. "Its clear boss." Fitz is relieved because his Livvie is okay and she hadn't fainted which not only surprised him but her as well.

Tom after receiving the information from his team turns to Fitz "Zoey is one of the dead."

Fitz is stunned silent but quickly composes himself

Diego steps forward "We need to get Liv out of here. She was never here." He states

"I know." Fitz answers finally standing and helping Liv to her feet.

"What no. Fitz you're coming with me right? Right?" Liv questions feeling her anxiety returning

Fitz still holding her against him "Livvie baby, I will meet you at the retirement party. I have to handle this first. I promise you baby I'll be there. Diego will fly back with you to make sure you get there safely but I need to get you out of Italy before word of this gets out. I need you to go without me for now my love."

"Fitz I don't want to leave you. I can't lose you." She shares with tear filled eyes

"You won't lose me love. I just need to get ahead of this. Zoey was most likely aiming for you, not me but no one can know this. You have to leave now."

Liv finally relents "Do you promise to come back to me?"

"I promise love. Okay?"

"Okay." She kisses him before heading to the plane with Diego.

itz turns to his team "Bring out the second jet put it right where this one is." Fitz commands before call Cyrus

Until next time….Keke
