They froze when they saw her head shift.
"Oh my god, what's going on, where is Fitz, is he alive, is he okay" she was panicking.
Within two strides Fitz was by her side.
He took her hand.
"Livie, it's okay, I'm okay I'm right here" he kissed her hand.
"Ohh Fitz, you're here" she cooed, her eyes were full of tears but she was smiling.
"Of course I'm here, where else you I be" Fitz said as he kissed her forehead his eyes were full of tears, he was so happy she was awake.
Without thinking Olivia tried to raise her body up and a fierce pain shot up and down her back.
"Owwwhhhhh" she bawled out and she grabbed Fitz's hand tightly. He could see a single tear drop run down her cheek.
"Fitz it hurts" she cried.
"Hold on sweetie, I'm gonna call the doctor." Fitz rushed out to get the doctor.
When Fitz left Abby and Quinn ran over.
"Hey liv," Abby said, her eyes wet.
"Abby, Quinn, you guys are here too" Olivia said as she smiled.
"Of course Liv, over a cliff, remember" Quinn said.
Abby nodded.
Doctor McCarthy walked in.
"Hello Olivia, how's my favorite patient."
"Hi doctor" Olivia said pleasantly.
"The president said you were feeling pain, as I expected, so we are going to raise you dosage of morphine."
The doctor squeezed her feet.
"Did you feel that Olivia" she asked.
Olivia nodded.
"Okay that's great news, now Olivia can you tell me what you remember"
Olivia wrinkled her forehead.
"I remember getting a call from Huck, I remember screaming but I think the crowd was too loud for anyone to hear me. I saw when Fitz get shot… Oh my god fitz, did you get shot?" She asked because she wasn't sure what she saw.
"I did but don't worry about me, it was just a flesh wound." Fitz said solemnly.
"What else do you remember?" the doctor urged her to go on.
"I remember feeling like something stabbed me in the back and then I felt something hot running down my back. I can't remember anything after that"
The doctor nodded.
"Okay Olivia, that's good, you remember a lot considering the trauma you went through. You were shot twice, once in the upper and once in the lower back. We removed the bullets and also lost a lot of blood but you were able to get a transfusion. As far as after effects go, you've made tremendous progress but it'll still takes several weeks for you to get back to performing regular activities on your own with little discomfort." Olivia nodded.
Fitz eyes never left Olivia.
"I think we were lucky Olivia, had the second bullet been a few inches left, you might have been paralyzed for the rest of your life." The doctor gave her a small smile and headed out.
Olivia's stomach growled.
"Liv you're hungry, how about me and Quinn get you something, what you you like" Abby asked.
"Thanks guys, I am starving, I really feel like having Chinese food, maybe some something with broccoli in it."
"Mr. President, would you like anything?" Abby asked.
"No thank you Gabby, I think I'm okay for now" Fitz replied.
Abby shook her head and smiled as she walked out of the room.
Then it dawned on Olivia that she was sure that now her team knew about her and Fitz but she decided not to worry about that. It was just her and fitz in the room now.
"How are you feeling Livie" Fitz asked softly.
"Uhm, as long I don't move anything except for my head or hands, I'm okay, if I try to shift anything else, it's excruciating. I feel a little fuzzy, I'm guessing that's the pain meds." Olivia said with her forehead wrinkled.
"Im also starving." Olivia chuckled.
Fitz kissed her hand again.
"You really scared me Livie." Fitz held his head low.
"I know, I'm sorry" Olivia said as she held on to his hand tightly.
"Olivia do not ever, ever risk your life for me again, do you understand me."
Fitz's voice was low and full of emotion.
"Fitz I can't promise that, Every single ounce of pain that I feel shooting up and down my body is worth it because you are here and you're alive. I don't regret and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again." Olivia said with tears in her eyes.
"If you really felt bad you'd come over here and give me a little kiss." Olivia flirted.
Fitz shook his head and got up and kissed her softly on the lips.
"I mean it Olivia, don't do anything that crazy ever again."
He kissed her again.
"I love you." he kissed her again.
"I love you too." Olivia smiled.
"One more kiss?" Olivia said cheekily.
Fitz peppered her with kisses all over her face.
She started laughing but then she felt the pain began to shoot up again.
"Hey don't make me laugh, it's hurts" she smiled
"Sorry livie." he smiled.
"So, what's been going on while I've been in here. Where did you get shot?" she asked curiously.
"My arm, it's really just a flesh wound, I'm fine, you saved me remember." he smiled at her.
"Wait how long have I been out again?"
"One week" fitz answered
"Wow, a week, wait where is Ginger?, who has been taking care of her?" Olivia questioned.
"Don't worry Abby has been feeding and walking her everyday" Fitz continued.
"Not much has happened, I had to give a speech to the american people, a few speeches actually just to update them on everything that been going on. They love you by the way, you've been trending on twitter since last week. Karen and Gerry are really worried about you, so if you could call them once you feel better that would be great and Harrison has taken on the mantle of press secretary, Britta Kagan died, Hal died as well." Fitz said sadly.
"Oh my gosh, Hal and Britta died, poor britta, she had children" Olivia said in remorse, it was a lot to take in.
"What about Huck and Cyrus?"
"Oh you know cyrus, running around like a chicken without a head and Huck working with authorities to catch our shooter. "
"Oh yea becky…"
"Olivia I want you to rest and focus on getting better, let us worry about her and Hollis"
"Hollis ?" Olivia asked confused.
Fitz realized that he let it slip that Hollis was involved.
"Don't worry about it okay." Fitz assured her.
About 20 mins later Abby came with the chinese food.
Olivia squealed.
"Mhhm that smells so good." Olivia gushed.
"Yea, I also got you popcorn, chips and candy, I was going to sneak a bottle of wine in here but I thought better of it." Abby chuckled
"You should have, don't tease me like that" Olivia laughed
Abby handed the food to Fitz.
Before he could give it to Olivia, she spoke.
"Are you gonna feed me Fitz." she said teasingly.
"Do you want me too." Fitz asked, this was really out of character for Olivia, she never really liked being pampered or coddled.
"Yea, I mean I would feed myself but, it's just sooooo hard." she teased.
Fitz chuckled and began to feed her, occasionally feeding himself as well.
The days went by and Olivia improved drastically, before long she could sit up, with the help of pain meds of course.
She let Fitz pamper and coddle her, which surprised everyone because Olivia usually hates that.
About 2 weeks after she had been brought in the doctors told her she could go home.
They gave her strict warning about taking things easy, which her team promised to make sure she did.
