They landed at the white house a little after 9 in the morning. They slept most of the way on the plane and while they didn't feel completely rested, they were both so excited from everything that happened during the night that lack of sleep hadn't really affected them.

Once they got to the residence they showered and brushed the teeth together and then headed to the closet to finish getting ready.

"Are you gonna be able to manage a full day of work, sugar balls?" she asked him as she pulled on her pants.

"Coffee, coffee, coffee," he said with a chuckle.

She walked over and held him by the waist and kissed him.

"Me too."

"I told you Gerry's coming home tomorrow because he has school on Monday right?"

"Yeah, you told me but um, he knows right, about the engagement?"

"Yeah of course he knows, Liv, it's Gerry, he's like buddha on quaaludes, he was really cool about it, you know, he's happy for us."

Olivia smiled.

"Buddha on quaaludes, that's pretty funny," she said, laughing.

"Yeah, I really wouldn't be surprised if he was smoking pot, he's too calm."

Olivia laughed and shook her head, she buttoned her silk white top and then walked over to the mirror to fix her face. She didn't have all her make up, all she had was concealer, mascara and lipgloss; just essentials. As she applied the concealer under her eyes, she felt Fitz staring. She finished applying it and added some mascara and lipgloss then she turned to face him.

"What's the game plan, the minute anyone sees me and they see this beautiful ring you've gotten me they'll know we're engaged, that's okay right, we're not hiding it or putting off letting the media know. It's okay if they know?"

"Yeah, absolutely, they'll see the ring and they'll know, I want everyone to know that I'm going to marry the most beautiful, not to mention most intelligent woman in the world."

She blushed.

"Thank you so much, that was really sweet."

"I'm just being honest," Fitz said with a smile.

He kissed her softly on the lips.

"Although I think just for the fun of it, we shouldn't confirm anything, let them speculate, it'll be fun."

Olivia giggled.

"I'm totally in."

"And you know we need to talk about a wedding soon right, we're not gonna be engaged forever."

"I know, I know, but I have enough excitement to last for a lifetime, so I need to let this die down a little before we even start talking about a wedding."

"Okay," he said with a smile, "are you sleeping over here tonight?"

"Yes, I am."

"Perfect, I'm glad. Your makeup looks great by the way."

"Fitz, this is barely makeup, I just have great pores."

"Well, I don't know, you've got the eye paint brush thing and the little stick thing and lip gloss thing."

Olivia laughed so hard she felt a sticking in her rib.

"Okay no, it's not an eye paint brush, it's mascara and it's for eyelashes and the 'little stick thing' is concealer and at least you got lip gloss right."

"One out of three isn't bad."

She chuckled, "I guess not."

She slipped on a pair of black Givenchy oxfords, she didn't feel like wearing heels.

"Breakfast should be ready right?"

"Yeah, it's usually ready by 7."

"Okay, perfect because I'm really hungry."

He brought her down to the kitchen and where they had breakfast and once they were done, he kissed her goodbye and headed to the oval.

Once Fitz felt, Olivia headed back to the bedroom. She was so excited that she didn't know what to do with herself so the first thing she did was grab her laptop and start a four way skype with Abby, Elliot and Kamaya and she hoped that all three of them would be available. Kamaya was the first to pick up, then seconds later Abby and Elliot joined the call.

Olivia cheesed so hard that her cheeks hurt.

"What's going on smiley, you gonna say something or you just gonna keep us here," Elliot said.

"You guys will never guess what Fitz did last night for our anniversary."

"Let me guess, he proposed," Abby said jokingly.

"Actually yes, he did."

"Shut the hell up, why didn't you start with that," Abby screamed.

"He did," Kamaya said.

"Girl, ring, ring, ring ,where's the ring," Elliot hollered.

Olivia started laughing.

"Don't freak out okay, just stay calm."

Olivia slowly held up her finger revealing the ring.

All three of them started howling.

"Holy shit, he gave you that," Abby screamed.

"Hold it closer, let me see," Elliot said.

Olivia held her finger closer to the screen.

"Oh my god, that is gorgeous," Kamaya complimented.

"Thank you."

"Liv, that ring is huge, how many carats is that?" asked Abby.

"It's 15.5 carats, it's white diamond, the other diamonds around it are pink and I don't know if you can tell but the band is rose gold."

"Take off the ring and hold it up to the screen."

Olivia took off the ring and held it up closer to the screen so they could all see. As she twirled the ring showing them the many facets she noticed an inscription inside the band and leaned in closer to read that it said.

"Strong, brave, beautiful, OP," she read aloud and smiled.

"What did you say?" asked Abby.

"He inscribed the words 'strong, brave, beautiful, OP' on the inside of the band, I didn't see that last night."

"Awww, that's so sweet," Elliot said.

"So tell me, how did he do it?" Kamaya asked.

"Yes, girl I want the entire story, was it romantic?" Abby asked.

Olivia smiled and put her ring back on her finger.

"It was so romantic, he always finds a way to blow me away. He came and picked me up last night at 8, he didn't tell me where we were going but we flew for just over three hours and even then I couldn't really tell where we were because Air Force 1 is faster than a normal 747, anyways, when we landed he told me we were in Nova Scotia, Canada and then we drove about an hour till we reached a lake, is was surrounded by a forest and had the most romantic decor set up, there were candles and thousands of rose petals and there was a little blanket on the sea of rose petals so we could lay down, there was music and northern lights were in the sky, they were blue, green, violet, it was the most beautiful scenery ever. Anyways once we got out of the car, we walked me over to the blanket and I was about to sit and he asked me not to sit as yet, I was so freaking caught up in looking at the northern lights that I didn't even see when he got on one knee in front of me but when I turned around there he was and then he asked me to marry him and I said yes and then there were fireworks and champagne, it was amazing."

"Wow, I'm so happy for you," Abby said with a smile.

"Me too, I'm really happy for you guys," Kamaya said.

"Thank you guys."

"So when the wedding?" Asked Elliot.

"Fitz wants a big wedding, I was thinking we could just elope, I told him some of my post proposal excitement needs to die down before we start talking about a wedding."

"I'm just throwing this out there but you guys should have a destination wedding and since he's rich he can rent a whole plane and hotel for us so I don't have to pay for anything, it will be like a free vacation," said Elliot.

Olivia laughed.

"Well throw it back because that's not happening."

"I had to try, also if he wants to be a polygamist and marry me too, we could threeway, I'm totally cool with that," he said jokingly.

"No."

"I figured not but I had to try," he teased.

"Okay well, I have to get to the lab but I just really wanted to share the news because I was so excited."

"I know me too, I claim maid of honor," Abby said excitedly.

Olivia smiled.

"I'll call you guys later or not probably not. By the way, this stays between us okay, you guys can't say anything at all."

"We know chica," said Elliot.

"Okay, perfect, bye guys."

"By the way, the tickets for the concert go on sale Friday at 8am, so make sure you go to ticketmaster because we're all trying to reserve tickets just to make sure they aren't sold out."

"Okay, I'm gonna have to tell my agents and they'll figure out how security will work I guess, whatever, I'll work it out on my end, talk to you guys later, bye."

They laughed and hung up one by one.

Afterwards, Olivia called Savannah to share the good news, she didn't really feel like having a full blown session because she honestly didn't feel she needed it.

"Hello Olivia, you're a little late for our usual 9am appointment."

"I know, sorry but I didn't really call for our appointment, I called to share good news."

"Oh really, I'm in the mood for some good news."

"Fitz proposed to me last night and I said yes, we're engaged."

"Wow, congratulations, I'm very happy for you, both of you, this is great news."

"Thanks, I'm really excited and happy as well."

"How are you feeling, you know, I'm really proud of all the progress you've made, I feel like you're in a good place."

"I am, I do feel like I'm in a good place, at least for the past few months, I've scarcely had night terrors or other ptsd symptoms, I think I'm finally putting his whole mess behind me, I'm not gonna lie though, I'm still afraid of strangers, being left alone with men in particular but that hasn't really happened except with my agents, I'm used to them and the rain still affects me but luckily there hasn't been much rain and other little things that arise but it's not overwhelming which is good."

"Yeah, time played a big part, you needed time to put it behind you and I also think having a supportive partner there has helped, don't you think?"

"Absolutely, I don't know what I'd do without Fitz which I'm still getting used to because I'm not one to really depend on anyone to- I don't know, I guess what I'm saying is that I don't usually depend on anyone for support as much as depend on him, of course, I have friends that I'm really close with but he's not a friend, he's my lover, he's my protector, he's my fiancé."

"I like that, very insightful, you're getting better at this," Savannah teased lightly.

Olivia chuckled.

"I know but I don't want to go to deep today because I do have to get to the lab, I really only called to share the news."

"Well congratulations again, I'm very happy for you and we'll continue our talk tomorrow."

"Okay great, I'll talk to you tomorrow, bye Savannah."

"Bye Olivia."

After the call, Olivia took her purse and headed down the her agents so they could take her to the lab. As she was beginning to dive into the genesis of her research experiment, she knew she needed to find some great interns and scientist for her lab and she also needed a new assistant. She needed the assistant sooner than later, since Harrison was no longer working with her so she planned on making moves to find a qualified assistant with a scientific background. She also had a lot of scientific materials to purchase such as human cells, she was hoping to get some strings of the Henrietta Lacks immortal cell line which she viewed as a priority after list of materials. She also needed a special computer that processed the DNA and cellular information that she would gather in the future.

Once she got past the reporters who she was sure caught pictures of the ring on her finger she headed straight to her lab, she dropped her belongings and got to work, trying to get through as much as possible.

Later in the evening, when Fitz got back to the residence from the oval, Olivia was already there and waiting for him. She was on the sofa, typing on her laptop.

"Evening Livie," he said as he pulled off his suit jacket.

He walked over and kissed her, she seemed unusually excited and he thought maybe it was still the proposal.

"What's got you so jumpy?" he asked.

"Eureka," she said with a smile.

"What?"

"Eureka, that's what scientist usually say when they've finished a problem or discovered something, I finished the last millennium equation, I am totally done. Well, I'm still writing my conclusion but the equation is done."

"You finished this today?"

"Yes, technically I worked really hard on it last week but yes I officially finished them I'm done and I've decided to publish them. I called the president of the Clay mathematics institute and he's really excited to see them, we're meeting in New York in next week. He's going to have math scholars review the problems and then they want to publish them."

"Well then congratulations are in order, I am really proud of you."

He walked to the opposite side of the couch so he was directly in front of her and kissed her.

"You did good work."

She smiled.

"Thank you, they're actually offering me 1 million dollars per problem, well they offer that to anyone that solves them if they're correct, which they are and I can use that money on research and development and new hires."

"This calls for celebrating, what should we do?"

"Uhm, I don't know," Olivia said shyly.

"Come one Livie, think of something, anything?"

"Can we go out for mexican food, I want tacos and a margarita."

Fitz was slightly perplexed.

"You just solved 6 of the hardest math problems known to man and you want tacos as a rewards."

"Yep."

"Good choice, let's go. I have to warn you though, mexican food makes me gassy."

Olivia laughed and got up to put on her shoes and then they both headed out to find the guards while Olivia googled mexican restaurant locations on her phone.

Once they chose the restaurant, Hal sent some guards ahead to secure the location while Olivia and Fitz followed behind. An hour later, they were sitting in a secluded booth a waiting to be served. Olivia ordered chicken and shrimp nachos with chihuahua and mozzarella cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole. Fitz ordered a three fish tacos with cotija cheese, cilantro and pico de gallo. Once the servers arrived, they nervously placed their food on the table, along with Olivia's margarita and Fitz's whiskey then left. Olivia's eyes opened wide at how absolutely scrumptious her food looked and she couldn't wait to dig in.

"Oh my gosh, I have to take a picture."

Olivia pulled out her phone and snapped a picture of her plate.

"Smile, I'm gonna take a picture of you."

Fitz smiled as Olivia snapped a picture with flash and then she looked down at her phone to make sure it came out alright.

"Nice, mr. Handsome."

She placed her phone down and then pulled a tortilla out of a mountain of cheese and bit it.

"Oh god, that so much better, so much better than I thought it was gonna be."

Fitz smiled and took a bite of his fish taco and he agreed that it was delicious.

After they finished eating, the sat relaxing in the booth as they finished their drinks Olivia showed Fitz funny memes from online. A little later in the night, they headed back to the residence to shower and prepared for bed.

Olivia stayed naked under her towel robe while Fitz wore only his boxer briefs. She threw off her robe at the side of the bed before she joined him in bed.

"So now that I'm officially your betrothed, this is your vagina, do you wanna lick your vagina," she said jokingly.

"I do, just one lick though."

"No," she protested, "not just one."

"I wonder how many licks it takes to get you to an orgasm," Fitz said out loud.

She could see him thinking and then it was almost as if a lightbulb went off in his head.

"Let's play a game or this is more like an experiment - see your brilliance is rubbing off on me already- I'm going to lick your clit really fast and I want you to count how many times I do it until you cum."

Olivia squealed excitedly.

"That's sounds like my kinda game, oops… experiment."

Fitz smiled and sat up and pulled the sheet down to the end of the bed so they weren't hindering them in any way. She laid flat in the bed.

"Spread your apart and hold them back."

"Okay," she said with a smile as she did what she was told.

He kneeled in front of her and leaned over in what resembled a crouching position. He used his thumbs to spread her lips apart and licked up and down her slit her once.

"One,' she said delightfully.

He smiled and licked her again.

"Two...Three..Four…"

He licked her again and again and she counted for as long as she could and after her orgasm, Fitz sat up.

"Okay, how much?"

"How much what?" she said as she panted.

"How many times did I lick you before you came."

Olivia shrugged.

"I don't know, I lost count at 11."

Fitz chuckled and laid beside her.

"You're suppose to be the scientist and you bailed on our experiment… sad!"

She chuckled and sat up and pulled down his boxers.

"Okay, since you have such an opinion, lets see how you fare."

The next evening, Olivia got to the residence a little after 7pm. She headed straight to the dining room to meet Fitz and Gerry. When she walked in, they were seated and had already started eating.

She walked over to Fitz and kissed his temple and then gave Gerry a hug.

"Thanks for waiting on me guys."

They both started laughing and lifted the their plate covers revealing that they'd already eaten dinner without her.

Olivia scoffed.

"You guys suck."

They laughed at her again.

"Look, I was starving, I couldn't wait," said Gerry.

"And what about you Fitz, what's your excuse?"

"You know, I was pretty hungry too."

"Mhm," she said, like a southern grandmother scolding her grandchild.

She sat at the chair beside Fitz and lifted off her dome plate cover and grabbed her fork to eat.

"So Gerry, are you glad to be back?"

"Yeah, it's not the worse thing in the world to be a rich kid in Beverly Hills for the summer but I'm glad to be back."

The one thing Olivia admired about Gerry was how self aware he was. He knew he was wealthy and privileged and he often made fun of himself about that fact, a habit he picked up from Fitz no doubt.

"I guess it's not the worse thing in the world," she agreed.

"Congratulation to you guys by the way, I'm gonna be the best man right?"

Fitz chuckled.

"Olivia doesn't want a wedding, she wants to elope."

Olivia interjected.

"Thank you but I haven't made up mind about the whole eloping thing, I'm open to a wedding."

Fitz smiled.

"Really?"

"Yeah 100%."

"Wait, you're 100% open to it or you 100% want a wedding."

"I'm 100% open to it."

They sat around, chatting casually as Olivia ate. There wasn't that much to catch up with up with since she kept in touch with Gerry regularly through text and the saw him two weeks prior at Fitz birthday party.

After dinner, they went to Fitz's bedroom and Gerry went to his bedroom. The moment they walked into the bedroom Fitz picked her up and spin her around.

"You said you didn't want a wedding," he said with a smile.

She laughed.

"I sort of changed my mind."

"Why?"

"I don't know, it's my first marriage and last if you behave yourself, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to be open to the pomp and circumstance of a wedding."

"I'm open to as much pomp and circumstance as you want, as long as it's sooner than later, before I start campaigning, you are going to be my wife before then."

"If I'm gonna get married, it has to be in the spring."

"Why?" Fitz asked.

"Flowers of course, spring is the best time for flowers."

"Okay but we're still gonna start trying for a baby in December like you promised right?"

"I promised, didn't I," she said with a smile.

"You did," he agreed with a smile.

She kissed him and shimmied out his grasp to the floor.

"Come on, I need a nice long bath before I go to bed, I'm exhausted."

"Okay, let's go."/
