When Olivia and Fitz got out the shower, she realized that she didn't have any clothes, all her clothes were at Blair house.
"Fitz, all my clothes are at Blair house."
She walked into the closet behind FItz.
"Here, wear one of my sweaters."
"It'll fit me like a dress."
She paused.
"Which is sort of perfect."
She dropped her towel and was about to put the sweater over her head.
"Wait, come here." Fitz called.
She walked over to Fitz who was sitting on the ottoman.
He kissed her stomach.
"Hey baby, how's it going in there."
"It's going good." Olivia answered.
"Not you Liv, I'm talking to the baby."
Olivia giggled.
"Olivia you know you're absolutely without a doubt the most gorgeous beautiful amazing woman in the world right?"
She blushed.
"Thank you Fitz, that means a lot to me."
She kissed him softly on the lips.
"I love you."
"I love you too livie."
"I have decided to stay here with you."
"Really?"
"Yes really."
They heard a knock on the bedroom door.
"Coming" Fitz screamed.
Olivia broke Fitz's embrace and put the sweater on. Fitz only had a towel on, so Olivia went to answer the door.
"Hey Karen, what's up."
"Oh nothing, I'll be leaving for school in a little bit and me and Gerry just wanted to tell the baby bye." Karen smiled.
"Where is Gerry?"
"He's down the hall grabbing his bag."
"Okay well here she is, tell her bye." Olivia smiled.
Karen caressed Olivia stomach.
"Bye Chloe, I'll see you when I get back from school." Karen kissed Olivia's stomach, which shocked Olivia but she tried not to show it.
"Okay Liv later by the way, where's dad?"
"He's getting ready for work do you want me to get him?"
"Ah no, it's okay I'll just talk to him later."
Karen was about to head off.
"Karen if anyone says anything you don't like tell me and I'll ruin them for you."
Karen giggled.
"I will but I'm really popular at school I don't think anyone will."
"They better not." Olivia called out.
Karen stopped walking and turned around.
"Umm Liv before I forget can you bring Ginger by so I could see her, I miss her so much and I've been dying to see her."
The question caught Olivia off guard.
"Karen … I meant to talk to you about that."
"About what?" Karen asked.
"Ginger ...passed away a few months ago." Olivia said hesitantly.
Fitz got gotten half dressed and was standing behind the door listening to their conversation and didn't like the turn that it took.
"How?" Karen cried.
"She got sick." Olivia lied.
Karen was quiet for a while, Olivia could see that she was upset.
"You probably let her die because you got tired of her like you got tired of us." Karen cried and ran off.
Olivia stepped into the hallway after her.
"Karen?"
She was about to head after her when Fitz stopped her.
"Let me talk to her."
Fitz chased after Karen and caught up at the end of the hallway.
"Karen talk to me!"
She stopped.
"Daddy ginger is dead." she cried and hugged on to his torso.
Gerry met up with them at the same time.
"What's going on?" Gerry asked.
"I think it's time I talked to you guys, come on." Fitz brought them to the room in front of them and sat them on the couch.
"I know I haven't been telling you guys a lot lately but that's because so much has been going on."
Fitz paused.
"Karen, Ginger didn't get sick and die, she was killed by someone who broke into Olivia's apartment."
Karen gasped.
"Why didn't Olivia tell me that." Karen asked.
"I guess she was trying to protect you."
"Wow dad, that's crazy" Gerry said.
"Also Olivia didn't leave us, the same guys who killed Ginger took her, they knew about our relationship and used it to threaten her. They had her hold up in a foreign country for the past 5 months, I found her 3 days ago."
"Oh god." Gerry was shocked.
"Now I feel terrible dad." Karen cried.
"Kare, I didn't tell you so you would feel bad. I think you guys are old enough to know what's going on. The person that took Olivia threatened all of our lives that is why I had our old guards removed and got new ones that are more capable of protecting us. I don't want you guys to be scared, we're going to find this terrorist and deal with him."
"Dad when you say deal with him, do you mean kill him?" Gerry asked.
"I mean anything I have to do to keep you guys safe. Okay."
They both nodded.
" I love you guys, bring it in."
Both Gerry and Karen got up and hugged their father.
"Okay guys I'm pretty sure I made you guys late for school, time to go."
"Yea but I should probably apologize to Olivia for what I said."Karen countered.
"Yea and I haven't really seen her since she's been back." Gerry added.
"Okay 5 minutes you guys."
They headed back to the bedroom to speak with Olivia.
After the kids spoke with Olivia they headed off to school and Fitz went back to getting ready.
Fitz was fully dressed and Olivia was tying his tie, so he could be on his way.
"What are your plans for today?" Fitz asked.
"Uhm, well I was going to go to O.P.A to speak with team and then stop by my apartment to pack up the rest of my stuff."
"You don't have to go O.P.A., they're coming here to kick my ass about what I did yesterday and if you are going to your apartment, you should take some aides with you but I'll be honest I don't really want you going there right now."
"It's not a big deal if I go Fitz's and it's just clothes I can pack it myself."
"Olivia I don't want you lifting anything and I don't want you outside, the media is crazy, I don't want you anywhere near them.
"Okay okay I won't go." she laughed.
Fitz kissed her on the lips.
"Thank you."
"Just call me when they get here, I'm going to Blair house to get my stuff."
"No, I'll have someone bring it here to you."
"Okay. What are you doing today?" she asked.
"After my rendezvous with your team, I have a few meetings about your father and then campaign events in the evening."
"Okay, I'm gonna be here all day bored until Karen and Gerry comes home. Thank you for that."
"You're welcome my love." Fitz smirked.
"Just go." she laughed.
Almost an hour later, Fitz called to let her know her team was in his office. She had been lounging on the bed in Fitz's sweater from earlier so she went to see what clothes her aides had brought back from Blair house. She went into the closet and opened on of the suitcase the aide had brought up. She was instantly annoyed at what Lauren packed for her. A bunch of party dresses, underwear and pajamas.
"What the hell? Where am I supposed to wear this?"
She had to get creative. She wore a black spaghetti strap Calvin Klein fitted dress, it stopped just above her knees, it was sexy and she wasn't going for sexy so she put one of Fitz's black dress shirts over it and wore it open. She wore her flats that she brought with her from Paris. She pulled her hair black, she didn't have any makeup so she put on a little lipgloss and made her way to the oval office. She was actually pleased with her outfit, it ended up looking really chic but she knew she definitely needed to have a chat with Lauren.
As she walked down the halls of the west wing, every eye was on her. She tried her best to ignore the stares and whispers. She reached the oval office and saw Lauren at her desk.
"Good morning Lauren." she said politely.
"Good morning Ms. Pope." Lauren said just as politely.
"Quick question Lauren, Yesterday when Fitz asked you to grab some of my things from my apartment, out of everything you saw, you thought the best options were party dresses and sleepwear?"
"I'm sorry there was just so much Chanel and Hermes that President Grant bought you I -"
"So that's it, you're jealous? I never pegged you for the jealous type Lauren."
"I- I'm not jealous-"
"Come on Lauren, you're better than that. I mean, It's okay if you are, just keep your opinions about our relationship to yourself. Hopefully I don't let it slip to Fitz about our little chat because then you'd probably find yourself out of a job."
Lauren was about to say something but Olivia walked off.
"Great seeing you Lauren." she said as she stepped into the oval office.
As soon as she stepped in Abby ran over and hugged her.
"Oh my god, what happened last night?"
"I'm sorry, hormones?"
They all took turns hugging her, Huck the longest.
"Start talking!" Abby commanded and dragged her over to the couch.
Fitz sat at the resolute desk watching their entire exchange.
"Well I...uhm-"
"Spit it out bitch."
She looked over to Fitz who was dying laughing.
"Don't look at him, he can't help you." Abby teased.
Olivia started laughing.
"Take it easy on me, I'm pregnant."
"Yes you are and I should have been the first one to find out." Abby hissed.
Harrison laughed.
"Take it easy Abby. it's okay Liv, President Grant already told us what happened with your father. I hope you're alright."
"I'm alright now that I'm home."
"Congrats on the baby" Harrison said.
Quinn and Huck also offered their congratulations.
Abby walked over and sat next to her on the couch.
"I'm still very mad at you for not telling me but I'm willing to forgive you if I get to be the godmother."
"I mean yea sure, I kinda just have to talk to Fitz first since he is-"
"nope , I'm the godmother." Abby demanded.
"You're the godmother." Olivia agreed.
Olivia looked at Fitz and shrugged her shoulders.
Abby rejoiced.
"Yay, now let me see my godchild."
Abby wrapped her hands around Olivia stomach.
"Oh my god, I can't believe you're pregnant. I'm so excited, do you know the gender?"
"I wanted to wait a little."
"I can't wait to go baby clothes shopping."
"Slow down Abby." Harrison interjected.
"We have to put a handle on this between the pregnancy announcement yesterday and firing the entire secret service guard, they've pretty much been covering you 24/7, the media is clamoring to see Olivia."
"The good thing is that the public loves Olivia and a lot of african american and millennial democratic voters have suddenly become more favorable towards you , bad thing is that you have some right wing christian voters down south that have become less favorable towards you."
Fitz chuckled.
"Gotta love those right wing voters huh." Fitz joked.
They chatted in the oval for some time, until Fitz had to leave for his meetings. When Fitz left Olivia gave the team a few strategies to deal with the current media blitz and then headed back to the residence.
The chef fixed her a bacon cheeseburger for lunch, which she enjoyed thoroughly and then she went back to her and Fitz's bedroom. The staff had brought the things from her apartment and placed them in the closet, she began unpacking with the help of one of the maids named Sonia.
She couldn't stop thinking about Karen's face when she told her Ginger died. She had been missing Ginger alot lately and she thought maybe it was just the hormones but she realized it was time to do something about it.
She told Sonia to go on break and then ask the guards to bring the car around. She instructed them to drop her at Betty's pet shop, it was the same shop where she bought Ginger.
They left the whitehouse in two sedans and she was escorted by 8 guards, since Fitz instructed them that no less than 5 guards should be on her detail at all time.
When she pulled up to Betty's shop, no one was the wiser. She asked the detail to stay in the car, since they looked so militarized she didn't want to draw attention to herself, of course they ignored her.
Once they cleared the store, she went in. She was friends with the owner, Betty and greeted her once she saw her.
"Olivia, how are you doing?" betty greeted her, she couldn't hide the surprise in her voice.
"I'm good Betty, how are you?" Olivia said politely.
"Can't complain. How can I help you today, how's that little rascal Ginger."
"She's good." Olivia lied.
"I actually wanted to get another little mischief maker."
"Well we have some yorkies, shih tzus, maltese, Maltipoo, pomeranian and terriers, both teacup and regular size. Come take a look." Betty offered.
"Okay great, let's see what you have for me." Olivia smiled.
Olivia went to the kennels and greeted the puppies. She played with a few to see which to feel out their personality, she wanted someone that was cheeky just like Ginger.
She was at the back of the store and didn't realize the crowd of reporters and spectators alike, gathering in front of the store.
One puppy in particular stood out to Olivia, she kept bumping into stuff and turning over. She fell in love immediately.
"Hey Betty, I think I found the one."
Betty came rushing to the back. She was a little nervous because she was the one that had called the reporters, she was friends with Olivia, since Olivia bought Ginger in her shop but she couldn't pass up the opportunity having the president's girlfriend in her store would give her business.
"Which one?" Betty asked.
"This silly one right here." Olivia pointed.
It was a teacup maltese-poodle mixed breed in a light tan color.
"Okay great, if you could just wait while I prepare her for you."
"I know the drill Betty." Olivia smiled.
Olivia stood in the back, observing the puppies, she were all barking and playing, which made it impossible for her to hear the calamity that was going on outside. The guards were at the front of the store and began preparing an exit strategy for Olivia.
When Betty had everything ready for Olivia's new puppy, she brought her back to the front. When Olivia came back to the front she saw what was going on outside.
"Oh my god, how did they even know I was here." she asked out loud.
She paid for the puppy and realized that Betty looked a little nervous.
"Did you call them Betty?"
Betty looked up surprised.
"Of course not, I didn't know you were coming, I'm as shocked as you are."
Olivia knew she was lying.
She took the puppy and all the other documents and supplies she needed.
"Thank you Betty." she said flatly.
I did not think this through, Oliva thought to herself.
She took a deep breath and headed to the front.
The guard opened the door and chaos erupted.
"Olivia, Olivia, look at me."
"Olivia is it a boy or girl?"
"Olivia were you and the president together when he was married?"
"Olivia when's the wedding?"
The guards cleared the path so she could get to the car. She wrapped her new puppy safely in her arms and hid her face. Everyone was trying to see her belly. They were pushing the cameras in her face and the guards were pushing them off of her. When she made it in the car and the guards closed the door, she let out a huge sigh of relief.
They sped off and headed back to the whitehouse. She knew Fitz was going to be annoyed.
Her puppy had been growling a little from the encounter with the media but she calmed down and was now carelessly looking through the window as they drove.
She couldn't decide what to name her new puppy. She tried out a few names in her head but she didn't love them.
She reached back at the white house within 30 minutes. She brought her puppy back into the bedroom closet where she was unpacking her things.
"That's it, I think I'll name you Rosie."
She paused.
"Rosie come here."
The puppy ran to her.
"Good girl. Rosie it is." Olivia smiled.
Rosie ran back to the suitcase and wrestled the clothes. Olivia didn't bother stopping her since it was just workout clothes.
"You are so cute aren't you." She went over to pet Rosie.
She went back to packing out her clothes for a couple hours before Fitz came to the residence looking for her.
"Olivia?"
She prepared herself to get yelled at.
Rosie barked and Fitz realized they were in the closet. He walked in.
"Olivia didn't you hear me calling you?"
"I know why you're here but in my defense, I really didn't think she was going to rat me out."
"I'm not here to yell at you Livie. You're not a prisoner here, you can go wherever as long as you have protection. I'm actually here to meet our new puppy you didn't tell me you were getting." Fitz smirked and went over to Rosie.
"What did you name her?"
"Rosie"
"That's a nice name."
"Say thank you Rosie."
Rosie barked.
"Karen is going to lose her mind. You know that right."
"Yea, it was feeling really maternal and I missed Ginger a lot so I just spontaneously went and got her. Isn't she adorable, she keeps bumping into things."
"Yea she is pretty cute."
Fitz rubbed her belly.
"It turned out everyone forgot about me, all they're talking about is you. Your outfit, your baby bump, your puppy." Fitz chuckled.
"Are they saying bad things?"
"Not at all they love you."
Olivia smiled.
"Well that's good I guess."
"That's more than good, it's great." Fitz countered.
"You just finished your meetings?"
"Yep, now I'm heading to this fundraiser in 20 minutes."
"Did you eat anything?"
"No, I'll have something when I get there."
"Nope that's not gonna work, eat something now. I'll take you to the kitchen."
She grabbed his hand and led him out.
"Come on Rosie." She called.
Rosie ran behind them, bumping into the wall on her way out.
The chef quickly prepared a burger for Fitz. Olivia sat with him, with Rosie coddled in her arms as he ate.
He fed Olivia a few bites as they chatted.
When Fitz left, she decided it was finally time to send in her resignation letter.
She worked on the letter for a while and then saved it so she could send it the following day.
It was mid afternoon and she was bored out of her mind so I can layed with Rosie on the balcony until she got tired and they both went for a nap.
She slept until she sound of Karen knocking on the door woke her up.
"One sec Karen."
She walked quickly to the door and opened it.
"Hey kare bear."
"Hey Liv, can I come in."
"Of course."
Karen looked around silently, Olivia could tell she had something in her mind. Rosie was sleeping she wanted to wait until she woke up to surprise Karen.
"So Liv I was thinking since Ginger died maybe we could get another puppy, I mean if you're comfortable with that."
Olivia walked over to the bed and picked up Rosie, who yawned lazily.
"You mean like this puppy?"
Olivia gently tickled Rosie's stomach to wake her.
"Oh my gosh, you got another puppy, she is adorable. What's her name?" Karen ran over to her and Rosie.
"Rosie."
"Aww I love her. Can I hold her?"
"Sure."
Olivia handed Rosie to Karen and gave her a little space to get familiar with her. By the time Gerry came home dinner was ready so they all ate together.
She tried to wait up for FItz but ended up falling asleep before he came home.
