The next morning she woke up and her resolve stood.

Whenever Fitz tried making small talk with her but she completely ignored him, so he decided leave her alone.

The buzz from her interview died down after a about a week, Fitz rose in the polls and then everything was business as usual.

During the entire week, Olivia never said a word directly to him. Karen, Gerry and the team didn't know what was going on but they could feel the tension.

Another week passed. Fitz kept coming back to the residence really late and Olivia kept up the silent treatment. She had a doctor's appointment earlier in the day and in the night when Fitz came home, he decided to try and ask her about it.

She was laying on the bed, facing away from him as she had been doing the last two weeks.

"How did the doctor's appointment go?"

She didn't answer. He decided to try again.

"How's the baby doing? Is everything on track?"

She ignored him.

"Fine I'll ask the doctor myself."

He let out aloud huff.

"How long do you plan on keeping this up. It's been 2 weeks, when do you think you're gonna get over this?"

He heard her sigh, then he thought that maybe if he provoked her enough, she would react.

"Look at you, you look good, turn around and show me your jugs, don't think I haven't noticed they're getting bigger. That bra is doing god's work right now." he teased.

"FITZGERALD SHUT UP! Do not talk to me, do not touch me, do not provoke me." she screamed angrily and then she turned her back towards him once more.

"You're being petty and immature Olivia and I'm tired of it,"

Still she ignored him.

He was quiet for a while. He knew it wasn't fair to not tell her what was going on but keeping her out of it was the only way he could think of protecting her.

Eventually they both fell asleep.

The next morning Fitz woke up to the sound of whimpering.

He looked over and saw Olivia holding her back in pain.

He jumped up.

"Livie what's going on?" he said in panic.

She didn't answer, she just rubbed her back.

"Olivia now is not the time for your games. You are pregnant and you are in pain now tell me what's going on?!" Fitz didn't exactly yell but his voice was commanding.

Olivia gave in.

"My back, it hurts really bad."

"Where?"

"My lower back."

"What can I get you? To make the pain go away?"

"Nothing, it'll pass in a little while. Dr. Roberts said I should start doing prenatal yoga again so I'm gonna start classes again today and that should help."

"At least let me rub it for you." He offered.

"No it's okay, I've got it." She continued rubbing her back, as uncomfortable as it was.

"Olivia please." he pleaded.

She turned her back to face him so he could rub it.

"Olivia you've been ignoring me for 2 weeks, how can you even do that?"

"You ignored me for 7 months after defiance, how did you do that?"

He hated when she brought that up.

"I thought you said you forgave me." he said as he rubbed circles into her lower back.

"Did I?"

"Olivia I know you're angry with me for keeping things from you but it's only because I want to protect you. I want nothing more than for you to have a carefree happy pregnancy and you can't have that if you're too busy worrying about national security issues."

"Fitz you're saying that like it's not personal, it's my father."

"Olivia he's not your father, you don't hear the way he talks about you."

Fitz immediately regretted giving away so much information.

"So you do have him?" she moved away from him.

Fitz didn't answer.

"When did you get him?"

"Two weeks ago… that night when I came home late I was in the situation room watching a team of agents extract him."

"Why didn't you tell me, you always talk about being partners but when it's your turn to tell me things, you don't."

Fitz nodded, he knew she was right.

"You're right, I'm sorry Liv I'll tell you but promise me you'll stay out of it." he urged.

He started massaging her back again.

"It's okay, the pain subsided" she said softly.

She turned and now was fully facing him.

"I can't really promise that until you tell me can I." she smiled as she batted her long dark eyelashes at him.

He was too busy looking at her cleavage, he didn't really pay attention to what she said.

She chuckled and shook her head.

"Just say it, you know you want to." she said as she rolled her eyes.

Fitz finally looked up at her.

"I just wanted to let you know you have a really beautiful body and really great breasts and I appreciate that about you."

She chuckled, she pulled the sleeve off her tank top and bra down.

"Do you like what you see?" she teased.

"I do." Fitz whined. "Just please let me touch it."

"You can do a whole lot more than touch it, if you tell me what's going on."

She pulled her bra and top up.

"Okay fine, what do you want to know?"

"Where are you keeping him?"

"The sublevel of the pentagon."

"You've been seeing him, late at night. You said he talks about me?"

"Yes he wants to see you but that obviously isn't going to happen."

"Uhh...why not?"

Fitz squinted as if he was trying to make sense of what she was saying.

"You want to see the man who physically attacked you, killed Ginger and sent you off to a foreign country with another sociopath who attacked you. And that was just one encounter."

She got on top of Fitz and straddled him.

"I think you can let me see him, just once, just to talk."

She leaned down and let her lips hover on his.

She could also feel his burgeoning erection, she thought it was hilarious how fast his blood flowed down there.

"And why would I do that?" he panted.

"Because I'm asking nicely."

She kissed him softly on the lips.

"Oh yea?"

Fitz wasn't really sure what he was saying.

She kissed him again.

"So you'll let me go?"

She kissed him again.

"M-hmm."

Fitz paused.

"Wait are you seducing me?"

She froze, like she had been caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

"Cause it's working." he chuckled.

She smiled and kissed him again, deeper this time.

Fitz was eager, he kissed her urgently and pulled her shorts down simultaneously.

As soon as her shorts were off he eased himself into her.

"Oh god that feels good" Fitz breathed out.

Fitz decided to switch positions, he took her from on top of him and laid her flat on the bed.

He rose her hips up to meet his as he knelt in between her legs.

When he was inside her, he began thrusting.

As he was thrusting, he realized he was a little too excited and before he knew it he came.

Olivia cackled as she felt his piping hot liquid flow into her.

"What was that crazy giggle scream moan you did?" he asked out of breath.

"Oh nothing, you've just never came that quick before. I think that's a new record." she smirked.

"Uhm keep making fun of me, I got mine, you didn't, I can leave you here because right now I'm 100% satisfied." he smiled.

"Of course you're satisfied, I mean look who you're with." she boasted.

"You're so cocky."

"Don't be selfish Fitz." she whined.

He pulled out of her.

"Since you're begging." he smirked.

He leaned down and kissed her lips gently.

"I love you Liv and I love our baby you're carrying inside you."

She blushed.

"I love you too and so does our baby girl."

"I really think I want a boy though."

"Just stop. Were having a girl."

He chuckled.

He laid behind her, scooped her into him and wrapped his hands under her so he could reach her center. He held her tightly as he massaged circles around her clit.

Olivia moaned softly until Fitz entered her from behind with his now erect member.

He gently caressed her breast, which caused her to let out a deep breathy gasp.

"Fitz-Kiss me."

Fitz grabbed her face and pulled it around to him so could kiss her. He locked his lips onto her soft and sensually.

Their lips never parted as he thrusted into her hard and fast. They came in conjunction with one another and when their breathing slowed, Olivia needed to make sure Fitz was going to make good on his promise to her.

"It's early do you think anyone heard us?" she chuckled.

"No, I know for a fact Karen and Gerry won't be up until at least…"

Fitz checked the clock.

"Half an hour from now"

"So when are you going to take me to see my father?"

"I'll get you anything you want in the world if you drop this." he plead.

"You made a promise." she reminded.

"I'm sorry I was under the spell of the great Olivia Pope, I can't be held accountable for anything I might have said while under duress."

"So later tonight is what your saying?" she asked matter of factly.

Fitz sighed a loud exaggerated sigh.

"Baby that's not a good idea but unfortunately I promised you I'll take you, so later in the night but I have some conditions." he warned.

"What are your conditions." she asked.

"He's gonna be restrained, obviously. I'm gonna be right there with you and I'm giving you about 90 seconds to converse with him."

"Okay, I guess."

"What exactly are you trying to accomplish by talking to him, do you think you can redeem him?"

"Maybe I can, who knows."

Fitz shook his head and chuckled.

"Well in the meantime, I'm going to shower. Do you want to join me?"

"Sure." she giggled.

Fitz had no idea what Olivia was thinking going to see Rowan but he knew if he didn't let her see him, she would never let it go. He figured a few minutes with Rowan wouldn't kill him.

Olivia waited nervously all day. She spent time in the oval with Abby helping out with the campaign. She did 2 sessions of her yoga class until she got tired and took a nap and when she woke up, she lounged around until evening. She wasn't sure exactly what to say to her father but she figured she would know when she was in front of him. She wasn't sure exactly what she was trying to accomplish by speaking to Rowan but she knew she had to try, if there was any good left in him, maybe Fitz wouldn't feel like he had to kill him.

She was laying around on the couch coddling Rosie, waiting for Fitz to come and get her and take her to the pentagon.

Fitz finally came into the room to pick her up.

"You know Olivia, it's not too late to come to your senses." he stated as he walked over to her.

She pouted.

"Come Rosie let me drop you by Karen, you can sleep with her tonight."

"You know you really spoil her, she gonna have a hard time adjusting when the baby comes." Fitz remarked.

"It's okay, I'm just gonna have 2 babies." she smiled.

"You mean 3, don't forget me."

She rolled her eyes.

"Come on let's go. Let me grab some snacks from the kitchen first though."

They dropped Rosie off with Karen, who was already in bed, grabbed the snacks and then headed to the pentagon.

When they arrived at the pentagon Olivia was surprised to see Tom, he was apart of Fitz's detail again.

"Fitz, you didn't tell me Tom was apart of the detail again." she asked.

"Uh yea, they investigated him and he was clean plus we had a little one on one chat and he told me he knew nothing about this whole Rowan mess that was going on and well, I believe him."

"I'm glad, I knew you guys had gotten a close and I know he's your favorite agent so it's good that he's not involved in this mess and I like Tom." she smiled.

"Don't like him too much."

"Shut up."

Fitz laughed in response.

They went down many levels and went through mazes of halls to finally get to the room where Rowan was being kept.

Once they were outside the glass, Olivia stopped at the sight of her father. Rowan was in a straitjacket.

"Is that really necessary?" she asked.

"Well yea, he tried to kill a couple of guards, so I'd say it's very necessary." Fitz snipped.

"Look Olivia I still don't think you should talk to him."

"Then why did you agree." she asked.

"I didn't want you to be angry with me anymore."

"I'm not angry with you, I promise and I'm sorry, my two week silent treatment was a little harsh." she chuckled.

"A lot harsh."

"Shut up."

Fitz sighed, his voice was full of worry.

"Don't worry, I'm just gonna talk to him. I'll let you know when to let me out. Okay."

"Okay." Fitz replied hesitantly.

The guards opened the door and let her in.

He was seated at the table in the center of the room.

Olivia walked over to the table nervously and sat on the opposite side of him. She pulled the snacks out of her purse and handed them over to him.

"I brought those for you, something to snack on."

Rowan didn't reply. Olivia sat awkwardly as she tucked her hair behind her ears.

He just stared at her menacingly. His stare was so icy it made Fitz feel uncomfortable and he wasn't even in the room.

"So after 2 weeks of asking for you to come and see me you've finally seen fit to gift me with your presence." he began.

"I didn't know you wanted to see me, I found out earlier that they had you here." she said timidly.

He chuckled his sinister chuckle.

"You expect me to believe that?"

"Yes."

They were silent again.

"Why did you want to see me?" she asked.

Rowan bursted into full blown laughter.

"Well I had a message for you, one that I didn't trust your boyfriend to pass on as thoroughly as I would like."

"What did you need to tell me?"

"Well firstly I would like to congratulate you, it seems like Fitzgerald is taking great care of you, you are positively glowing."

He smiled.

"Thank you." he seemed like he was being genuine so she smiled back.

"Is it a boy or girl?" he asked.

"I'm not sure as yet."

She shrugged.

"I can't decide if I want to find out now or wait until the baby is born."

He chuckled at what she said.

"You can't wait until the baby is born silly."

"Why not?" she asked.

Fitz listened intently from the other side of the glass. The conversation was a little bizarre.

"Because the baby won't be born?" he said nonchalantly.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me Olivia, that baby is never going to see the light of day."

"And why is that?"

"Okay it's time to get her out of there, I knew this was a terrible fucking idea." Fitz instructed the guards.

"Because Olivia if it's the last thing I do, I will cut that baby out of your belly and I will watch you bleed to death but not before I give your precious president a front row seat." he said angrily.

"How could you say that? I'm your daughter."

"You are no daughter of mine. You are a disappointment, you have broken my heart." he yelled.

"Really how did I break you heart?" she screamed back.

"You let him take me! Take everything I have worked for since I was a boy! My entire life, everything that meant anything to me, you made him take it from me. You didn't care that I was your father, you didn't stand up for me. So I won't care that you are my daughter. As far as I'm concerned my daughter is dead. I don't have a daughter anymore. I have protected you and coddled you for as long as I remember. No more Olivia. You thought I was a monster before-"

Fitz walked into the room at the same time.

"Come on Olivia let's go." Fitz said sternly.

"Fitz let me talk to him."

"Why he's already shown you that he's not going to be a father to you, stop trying to make him one."

Rowan chuckled.

"I am going to take everything from you, the way you took everything from me." he directed towards Fitz.

"Is that so, how are you going to do that in that comfy little straitjacket you have on?"

"I won't have this on when I walk out of here."

"It's good to have hopes and dreams Rowan. Olivia let's go!"

Olivia got up out of her seat to walk over to Fitz.

"You are going to let me out of here because if you don't your mother will die."

Olivia stopped mid step.

"What are you talking about, she's already dead. You did that."

"Did I." he smirked.

"I saw you kill her." Olivia cried.

"Olivia please don't listen to anything he's saying." Fitz urged. He was beside her, holding her hand, trying to get her out of the room.

"You saw her going into hypovolemic shock Oliva, from excessive blood loss. That was when I sent you to you're room to pack your things, I had one of my agents take her to the hospital. She survived."

"That's impossible." Olivia choked out.

"You don't have to believe me I'll bring her to you, I'm the only one who knows where she is being kept."

"You expect me to believe that?" Olivia asked.

"You can believe what you want. I have been here for 2 weeks and 2 days, I visit your mother every 2 weeks with enough food to last her until I visit again. It takes the average human being about 3 days at best to survive without water, three weeks without food. I haven't visited her in 2 weeks and 3 days. That means that any reserve water that she might have had would have been used up 3 days ago."

"I don't believe you."

"It's okay that you don't believe me Olivia. You're boyfriend can kill me and in doing so inadvertently kill your mother, who will die of dehydration. Or you can let me walk out of here and I can have her dropped off to you and then be on my merry way. But know this, once you get your mother, I kill take that baby and then I will kill you and then I will kill his children and then I will watch him kill himself. And if I die in here, I will be content to know that your pathetic mother is dead too. Let me know what you decide because the clock is ticking." Rowan said smugly.

"Fitz won't let you out of here." Olivia cried.

"Well that's up to you. Convince him, although I am curious to see how your relationship will survive if he doesn't let me out. knowing that he killed your mother because Olivia, she has barely a day left, if she's resourceful." Rowan chuckled.

Olivia could feel the heat radiating off of Fitz's body.

Suddenly Fitz let go of her hand and stormed over to Rowan. He grabbed him by the throat and squeezed.

"You do not threaten her or my children. Let's be clear, the only reason you are still breathing is because I am allowing it. Sit there, shut up and wait for me to kill you!" Fitz screamed angrily.

Rowan was fighting for air but Fitz was grabbing his neck tighter.

"Fitz stop-" Olivia grabbed onto his arm and Fitz let him go.

Rowan fell to the floor, gasping for air.

Fitz held on to Olivia's hand and walked her calm out of the room.

They didn't say anything on their way back to the car. Fitz's face was stone hard the entire time.

Olivia had never seen Fitz have an outburst like that before, it made his temper tantrums at her seem inconsequential.

She sat silently as they rode to the white house, she was still in shock, she didn't know what to believe.

When they arrived at the white house, Fitz ordered the agents to take her to the residence. He still hadn't said a word to her.

"Fitz please talk to me." she said it loud enough for him to hear but he ignored her and walked off with his agents but then she saw him stop and face her.

"This is your fault. You did this Olivia. Why couldn't you just leave it alone like I asked you huh and you know that worst part about all of this is that you believe him. You believe him, you know he's a liar and you believe him. I can see the hope in your eyes you think she's alive."

He paused.

"She's dead Olivia. You saw it happen and now we are ruined because make no mistake Olivia, I am going to kill him and you will never forgive me because apart of you believes that in killing him I will have killed your mother."

"But what if he's telling the truth." she cried.

"He's not." Fitz screamed.

"What if he is, then she will die."

Fitz didn't reply, he turned around and left with his agents.

"Don't walk away from me Fitz." she screamed but he didn't turn around.

She went to the residence and once she got in the room she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

Fitz went back to the oval with Tom and some other agents. He called Huck and asked him to come to the white house and he asked Tom to gather the agents he had used to help find Olivia. Not all of the agents were able to come on such short notice but most were.

When they all gathered in the oval office Fitz began.

"This is everything he had on Rowan Pope."

He handed a bunch of files Huck and Tom

"I need you guys to find Marie Pope. she is supposed to have died about 20 years ago but he claims he has her.I don't believe he has her but I also don't think it'll hurt to search. If he's saying she only has hours left but he thinks he can deliver her to us before that then she can't be far. Search all of his whereabouts, search his home and the agency headquarters. If he does have her, she's probably in some sort of bunker -cabin -prison, I'm not sure but if she is alive and this isn't just some big joke we don't have a lot of time." Fitz instructed.

"Sir we will do everything we can to find her." Tom promised.

"That's if there's anyone to find Tom."

Tom and the agents walked out, Huck followed but Fitz called him back.

"Huck can I talk to you for a moment."

"Yes sir.' Huck replied.

"I know you're loyal to Olivia but I need you to promise not to tell her about this. I don't want to get her hopes up more than they are already if this goes awry."

"Okay sir, I understand." Huck said quickly and walked out.

Fitz sat impatiently in the oval, waiting to hear from Tom and Huck. He had agents at the pentagon interrogating Rowan, he did it more out of spite than to actually get any information because he was pretty sure Rowan was impervious to torture.

The agents spread out into teams and searched different places Rowan like to hide out and one by one they reported no findings.

As much as Fitz didn't want to admit it he had a little hope as well but the more the agents sent their reports, the more he felt ridiculous for hoping, even if only for a minute that Olivia could get her mother back.

He put his coat on and ordered the guards to escort him back to the pentagon.

It was approaching sunrise and Olivia had spent all night waiting for Fitz, calling him and texting him. She tried to go the the oval but the agents stationed in the residence wouldn't allow her.

She spent all night fretting and agonizing over the possibility that her father was telling the truth. She also knew that if there was anyway she could convince Fitz to let him out and he hurt Karen or Gerry, he would never forgive her and if Rowan hurt Fitz, she knew there was no way she would ever forgive herself.

She had been shaking back and forth for hours until she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen and dropped to the ground in a loud wail. The 2 guards stationed in front of her bedroom door came running in immediately.

" , Ms. Pope, are you okay?"

They say her on the ground, holding her stomach.

"No, something's wrong- the baby. This isn't suppose to happen." she cried.

One of the guards scooped her up in his arms and hurried with her to the ambulance.

Within minutes she was at the James Madison hospital.

When Fitz on his way to the pentagon he got a call from Huck.

"Huck what do you have?"

"Sir I found her?"

"What?" Fitz asked shocked

"She was in an underground room in the backyard of his home."

"You're serious? How did you find her."

"Sir I used to work for Rowan before Olivia saved me, I knew how much he loved putting people in holes so that's the first thing I looked for. I'm taking her to James Madison hospital right now, from what I can tell she's severely dehydrated and malnourished."

"Oh god Huck, I don't even know how to repay you for this." Fitz uttered.

"No need Sir, anything for Olivia." Huck spoke into the phone and then hung up.

Fitz chuckled, he really couldn't believe it. He instructed his agent to change routes and head to James Madison hospital.

He didn't want to tell Olivia until he had seen her mom and knew what sort of condition she was in but he did want to call and apologize for yelling at her.

He called the first time and she didn't pick up. He thought maybe she was upset with him for ignoring her calls so he tried again but still no answer. He figured if she was sleeping the sound of the phone should have woken her up.

He decided it could wait, he would see her soon anyways. The ride from the pentagon to James Madison wasn't a long one.

On his way there, he called Huck just to see how far away from the hospital he was and they were roughly the same distance away.

When Fitz got to the hospital, there was press there and he was annoyed because he wasn't sure how they found out that he was coming. They entered through the back entrance to avoid all the reporters.

Once Fitz was in the hospital he headed to the emergency ward, when he got there he was astonished to see the 2 guards he ordered not to leave their bedroom door, standing in front of a hospital door.

He had seen other guards but he just assumed they were his, but these two he were sure were Olivia's guards.

"Why are you 2 here, I thought I ordered you to stay by 's side." he asked confused.

"Sir, Ms. Pope had an incident and he brought her here for medical attention." one of the guards replied.

"She what? Where is she?" Fitz panicked

"Inside Sir." they stepped away from the door so he could enter.
