Fitz dropped Olivia at O.P.A then headed to the white house. Cyrus gave him an earful about being missing for almost two whole days. Fitz didn't bother telling him about the incident with Olivia, he knew they were meeting later and Olivia would most likely tell him herself. He had been getting alot done politically since the shooting, all he had to do was mention the shooting in a speech and his approval ratings skyrocketed even though they they were already sky high. The press also loved Olivia, he often thought about them coming out to the public but he didn't want to push her as yet, he decided that since things were going so well to leave it alone. He couldn't tell the last time he had been this happy, maybe when Karen and Gerry were born.

Olivia had never been so open with him, he couldn't believe this was the same olivia, ever since the shooting she made a complete 180. She was happier than she'd ever been since he's met her. She was funny and she was relaxed, he'd only known her as the uptight, business only Olivia pope.

He wanted to do something that would make her smile, so he decided to have lauren send her an arrangement of white roses, he knew how much she loved white roses.

Once he was done setting it up, he decided to commit the rest of the day to meetings and briefings.

Olivia was at the office, working with a client who had been caught sleeping with his teenage nanny. His wife wanted to take him for all he had and he needed O.P.A to help him in divorce court. Olivia decided to help because he was offering to pay her twice as much as her asking price.

Halfway through the meeting with her client, Quinn paged her and told her there was a special delivery for her.

She headed to the front of the office to see what was going on and stopped when she saw a beautiful bouquet of white roses.

Once she signed for it and unwrapped it to read the card, she saw that there was also a bar of Godiva white chocolate, she knew immediately that it was Fitz. The card read:

'I know how much you love white chocolate ;)'

She blushed, she wanted to call him and thank him, but she knew it had to wait because she had to get back to her meeting.

Once she was done with her meeting, she headed to her office to call him. She pulled out her phone and dialed and he picked up after 2 rings.

"The roses are beautiful, I love them." Olivia gushed over the phone.

"I'm glad you like them." Fitz's said pleased.

"So do you want to come here for lunch?" Fitz asked.

"I'm sorry, I can't, I'm totally swamped today, I just got done meeting a client, now I have to head to capital for another one, then I have to head to another's house and it's like that all day, but we can eat something special for dinner,"

"If by special you mean you, then sign me up." he said casually.

"Fitz, you are incorrigible." she laughed.

"I have to go, I'll see you later." after she told him goodbye, she headed to the capital.

She decided not to tell fitz, that she was meeting Senator Davis because she knew how jealous he could get.

Once she wrapped up everything at the office, she headed for the capital, Abby drove with her.

They were headed to meet Mary, one of Senator davis' constituents who wanted to know the details behind her son's death. Her son was a sergeant in the army, according to the government, he joined the Al Qaeda and became one of their top commanders. She didn't believe it and she wanted to question Senator Davis, since he was the head of the senate intel committee. While driving to the capital, Olivia decided to tell abby about Fitz's offer to pay for the trip.

"So, I told fitz about our plan to go back to new york." she said casually.

"Oh yea, what did he think."

"He wants to pay for it and he also thinks we would have more fun if we went to paris?" olivia posed it as more of a question.

"He would foot the bill for everything?" Abby was kind of surprised.

"Yea that's what he wants to do"

"Hell yea, can we go this weekend, I'm ready, a free trip to paris, I'll go in 20 minutes if you want me too." Abby laughed.

"He's paying for shopping and the hotel and everything." Abby asked again.

"Yes abby everything, he wanted to treat us, he also thinks you're a good friend"

"I've always liked him you know." Abby smiled.

"Yea, sure you have." Olivia rolled her eyes and laughed.

Olivia called Cyrus to let him know she couldn't make it for, he was pissed but there was nothing she could do about it.

Once they reached the capitol, they met up with her client Mary. Olivia thought it was weird that mary had on such a huge coat but blew it off because she knew it was fall and the weather was chilly.

Once they got to senator Davis office Mary started to fidget and act unusually. They waited for a few minutes to see the senator. Once senator Davis was able to see them, Mary started bombarding him with questions about her son. Olivia tried calming her down.

"Mary, you need to calm down, yelling won't get him to answer your questions." Olivia said soothingly.

"No, I'm not gonna calm down, they're trying to tell me my son is a terrorist, I know that is not true, it can't be." Mary was hysterical.

"He's lying, you're lying." she said pointing to Edison.

She ripped open her coat, under it, she had a bomb strapped to her chest.

In that moment, Olivia looked over to Abby who was in total shock.

There were about 20 people in senator Davis' office, most of whom started to panic immediately.

"Mary, please, doing this won't help your son, it won't bring him back." Olivia plead.

"Shut up, everybody shut up and don't move or else they will clean all of us up on the floor with mops when I'm done." Mary screamed.

She turned back to senator Davis.

"I want the truth about my son." Mary was teary eyed.

"Calm down Mary, I'll try to get all the information about your son I can get, you just have to give me a little time." Edison said cautiously with his hands up.

"You have 1 hour, and then I will blow this place to kingdom come." Mary said coldly.

Edison hurried to the phone. He didn't know who to call. He did however know that there were camera's in his office and that by know the building security must know what was going on.

Olivia and Abby stood side by side, holding hands tightly. Olivia could feel Abby shivering beside her.

"Mr. president, we have a hostage situation at the capitol building sir." Cyrus busted into his office.

"The capitol?" Fitz asked

"Yes sir, we have to head to the situation room now."

Fitz hurried down the halls behind Cyrus to the situation room.

Once he stepped into the room he saw most of his domestic defense advisors standing waiting for him.

He greeting them quickly.

"What's going on?" he asked in a commanding tone.

"Sir, we have a woman with explosives strapped to her chest threatening to bomb senator Davis' office at the capitol." said Robert, head advisor.

"How long ago did the situation arise and do we have any visual?" Fitz asked.

"The situation arose 15 minutes ago and we are trying to bring up the visual now." said Anna, another advisor.

Fitz waited impatiently for them to pull up the visual.

"Do we have motive?"

"Yes sir, her son James Robespierre, a former army sergeant, was a known traitor and terrorist who was executed in a sting operation, she doesn't believe that he was a traitor and wants the details of his death." said Robert.

"Well, what's the truth?" Fitz asked.

"Sir he was a traitor sir, one that caused dozens of american soldiers to lose their lives." Jonathon, another advisor answered.

"Hold on sir we have visual right now." Anna said.

When the screen came up Fitz's stomach dropped. He heard cyrus gasp behind him.

He saw Olivia standing in the room, Abby was behind her, he was looking at security footage so he couldn't get audio but he could tell that Olivia was trying to soothe the woman with the bomb strapped to her.

He had totally forgotten that Olivia said she was going to the capitol. He found himself wondering why it was always her that bad things happen to, with the shooting, then Jake and now this.

"Get a team down there now, I want every single civilian out of there unharmed, I don't care if you have to shoot that traitor's mother in the head. Get them out now!" Fitz yelled.

Everyone in the room, scurried around, doing what they were told.

Fitz started pacing, Cyrus was trying to control the chaos in the room.

Olivia was trying her best to calm Mary down, but the more time passed the more agitated she grew.

Edison had been on the phone for 20 minutes. He was such a coward, she could see him stalling and she was wondering why, since they had the clock working against them.

After about 15 more minutes, Edison got off the phone, she could hear boot thuds outside.

"Mary, I'm sorry but it's true, you're son was a traitor, I just spoke with the NSA director, they are all telling me the same thing, I'm so sorry." Edison said slowly.

"NO" Mary wailed.

Everyone could hear the SWAT team outside yelling at mary to let the hostages out.

"Mary, you can still get out here alive, just put down the detonator and surrender." Olivia walked closer this time, she could feel Abby tightening her grip on her hand, but she slid her hand out of her grasp.

"Mary please." Olivia plead.

As bad as the situation was, she didn't want Mary to die, she seemed like such as nice lady.

"He was a traitor, my son… my boy." Mary cried in agony.

"Mary, it's not your fault, but please you have to surrender." Olivia said softly, she was now directly in front of her.

Mary started to calm down.

Edison was in awe, he couldn't believe olivia could handle the situation like this.

"On the count of 10, I'm going to release the hostages." Mary yelled so the SWAT team could hear.

"Do you promise you won't shoot me?" she asked.

"Yes, now let the hostages go." the voice was loud and harsh.

Everyone lined up at the door, when Mary gave the order, they started filing out. Olivia was right in front of mary and as soon as olivia was about to step out, Mary pushed her out and slammed the door.

"Mary, don't." Olivia screamed. One of the SWAT team soldiers grabbed her by the waist and pulled her away from the door.

Simultaneously, Mary detonated the bomb.

The blast disconnected the camera feed.

"Can someone tell me what the hell is going on? Get me back that visual." Fitz yelled.

The blast wasn't as ruinous as they had predicted, it caused acute damage to the office, but no one was severely injured except for Mary, who for obvious reason, died immediately.

Within a few moments, once the dust and debris settled, the SWAT team was able to usher them out.

Visual came back up, once they had exited the building.

Fitz breathed a huge sigh of relief, once he saw that no one was severely injured.

Once everything was clear he headed back to the oval office. He was annoyed, "why the hell does she keep getting herself into situations like this, if she had just stayed home like he asked, she would have never been involved." he thought.

Olivia and Abby were shaken up, but only had a few cuts and scrapes and the EMT workers in the ambulance worked to clean them up and check their vitals..

Abby hadn't said anything since they left the building.

"Abby, are you okay?" Olivia asked softly.

After a long silence.

"Yea, that was just really close, too close." Abby said relieved.

"I know" Olivia sighed.

Olivia's phone rang, she knew exactly who it was.

"Hello?" Olivia wrinkled her forehead because she knew what was coming.

"Are you okay?" Fitz's voice was serious.

"Yea, I'm okay, just a few scrapes."

"And Abby?" he asked.

"Abby's okay, she just shaken up."

"Are you heading home?" he asked, but it wasn't a question, he just wanted to hear her say that she was going home.

"Not yet, I just have a few more things to do at the office.."

Fitz cut her off.

"Olivia, it takes about 20 minutes to get to your apartment from the capitol, I will give you an extra 10 minutes to get there. I will see you at your apartment in 30 minutes, if you even attempt to go to your office, I will have Bob throw you over his shoulder and carry you home himself. I'll see you in half hour." Fitz hung up. He had Tom pull the car around and headed out.

"He's mad, isn't he." Abby asked, she could hear him yelling through the phone.

"Yes, he doesn't want me going back to the office."

"I don't really blame him, it's been a long day and I'm sure he's worried." Abby said as she pat her arm.

"It's not fair, I have a business to run, he acts like I run a cupcake shop or something, I have people who count on me, he undermines my job at every turn." Olivia sighed.

"Well I don't know what to tell you, talk to him about it, but you should head home now, he's probably there waiting for you." Abby gave her a small smile.

She dropped Abby home and then headed to home.

Once she got in front of her door, she took a deep sigh and went in.

She saw Fitz standing by the window, he was still wearing his suit, so she could tell that he just came home as well.

He looked irate.

He didn't turn from the window, he didn't even acknowledge that she was standing behind him.

"Are you gonna say something or are you gonna pretend I'm not standing right behind you?" she asked.

"I told you to stay home today, you just got out of the hospital and almost ended up there tonight again or even worse you could have died." his voice was normal, but she could hear the anger in it.

"How did you even get yourself into a situation like that in the first place?" he asked finally turning around.

"Fitz I own a crisis firm, I'm pretty sure that means I'll be involved in crisis from time to time" she said sarcastically.

"Now is not the time for your sarcasm Olivia." he said angrily.

"I don't understand you, am I supposed to just sit at home all day and wait for you to come home, because that's never gonna happen" Olivia raised her voice but didn't yell.

"You know what I want, I want to not have to worry that you're not going to get yourself killed every time you step out the door, do you think you can handle that and why the hell are running back to save that terrorist, why couldn't you just run away like a normal person." Fitz yelled.

"She was my client, what was I supposed to do, just stand by and let her kill herself."

"Yes Olivia, that's exactly what you were suppose to do, especially when that client has a bomb strapped to her chest." It was now a yelling match.

"I don't come to your job and tell you what you can and cannot do, so I expect you to extend the same courtesy to me and I don't undermine you, that's all you do to me, you undermine me and O.P.A. every chance you get, I run a crisis from, not a bakery, I have been absent for the last two months, I have shit to do, I'm not gonna stop from work because my controlling boyfriend tells me to."

Ginger started barking.

Olivia went over to pick her up and hush her.

"Controlling?" Fitz asked shocked.

"So because I don't give you permission to go out and die, I'm controlling." Fitz said this as if it was the most ridiculous thing he'd ever heard.

Olivia had begun walking to the kitchen, then she turned back around.

"Oh please, that's not what this is about, I'm pretty sure the only reason you're so angry is because you know that Edison was there." Olivia accused.

"I don't give a fuck about your ugly little boyfriend, what I do care about is why you didn't tell me you were going to see him today when I called you?"

"Because you would have acted like this." Olivia said as she threw her hands up in frustration.

"You don't want any one looking at me, you don't want them talking to me, I don't get you, I'm not yours Fitz, you don't own me, you can't control who talks to me and who doesn't, and I don't even know why you act like this, I've never cheated on you, but you've cheated on me let's not forget that." Olivia knew bringing up Amanda would sting.

"Oh here we go again with Amanda, it's not cheating if you left me Olivia, because that's exactly what you did, you left me." Fitz retorted

"You were married, what was I thinking leaving you, so you could be a better man to your wife, I must have been out of my mind." She said sarcastically.

"Oh please, you don't care about Mellie's feelings, that's not why you left." Fitz was serious now.

Olivia didn't like were the conversation was heading. She knew if Fitz found out the real reason she left, he would never forgive her.

"Fitz, I'm tired, I don't even remember what we were arguing about, I just want to wash all this dirt off my body and go to sleep" She was quickly.

She attempted to head to the bathroom, but within two strides Fitz was in front of her.

He knew she was deflecting.

"Why did you leave olivia?"

She stepped back.

"FItz, I already told you."

"No, that's not it" Fitz stepped closer.

"What's the real reason Olivia?" He asked again.

She was getting nervous and a little flustered.

Every time Fitz acted like this she felt herself shutting down.

"I don't want to talk about this, get out of my way, I want to go shower."

"Did you cheat on me.?" he asked

"What, NO!" she yelled.

She started walking side to side, trying to get pass Fitz, but he wouldn't let her pass. He didn't do it in a threatening way, it was almost playful but he was serious.

"Fitz, please just drop it" she said exhaustedly.

"Do you want to tell me or do I have to find out?"

Fitz was a little bit worried because never really thought into it before, but now that he was, it didn't make any sense.

"Fitz there is nothing to find out, just drop it." She tried to be serious, but Fitz could hear the worry in her voice.

"Okay, so I guess I'll just have to find out for myself then." Fitz said nonchalantly as he gave her space to pass.

"Why are you being like this, just drop it." She said angrily.

Fitz stood up straight.

"What is so bad, that you don't want me to find out?" He was serious but worried.

She didn't answer him. She just walked to the bathroom and slammed the door behind her.

Once she got into the bathroom she exhaled and locked the bolt.

She started to panic, she knew she covered her tracks but also knew that if he really wanted to find out he would.

She set her bath, the water was warm, she needed to think.

She debated whether or not to tell him.

She was in the bathroom for a few hours, she was hoping that when she got out Fitz would have fallen asleep but she knew better.

She opened the bathroom closet and threw on some pajamas and took a deep breath and opened the door quietly.

When she got out she didn't see him so she headed to the kitchen and to get some wine.

It was dark, she didn't realize he was sitting at the dining table.

He had changed his clothes, he was wearing grey sweatpants and a white t shirt.

"Livie"

She jumped.

"I didn't mean to frighten you." He said softly.

"It's okay, I just didn't see you there."

They were silent for a few moments.

"Livie, what is so bad that you're afraid to tell me? Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure I'll forgive you." Fitz voice was soft and low.

"No you won't." She said softly.

"Liv, you're worrying me, just tell me" Fitz plead.

Olivia was silent for a moment, then she let out a deep breath.

"I left because I found out I was pregnant." she said softly.

Olivia bit her lip nervously.

"What happened to our baby?" she couldn't tell if he was angry or sad.

"Fitz you know what happened."

"No. Actually I don't know what happened because you never told me." he was definitely mad.

"Fitz, don't make me say it."

She was getting teary eyed.

"No olivia, tell me what you did to our child."

Olivia didn't say anything.

"Tell me." Fitz yelled.

"I had an abortion." her voice was trembling.

"Is that all you've been keeping from me or is there more, might as well get it out now right." he said callously.

"After I got the abortion, I… I tied my tubes." her heart was beating really fast, she was scared.

Fitz didn't move for a long while.

She could tell he was debating whether or not to say what he really wanted to say.

She was about to speak when she saw him get up abruptly and he walked out and slammed the door.
