Liv woke up from a good nights rest of dreaming about her mom. Rosalyn had long thick black curls and was the exact replica of Olivia. She could not believe her baby girl had grew up so much. When Liv saw her mom she ran up to her and hugged so tight while sobbing on her chest. Rosalyn just kept on patting her back saying it's okay baby. As Liv quieted down it was as if she was a child again curled up on her mommy's lap. She said to her always remember that you are the BEST decision I EVER made you hear me? She responded yes ma'am. Rosie then said and know that everyone makes mistakes but what's important is that you learn from it and don't get stuck kicking yourself for the same situation. Liv nodded because she knew it was reason for her saying this. Olivia couldn't believe that she was talking to her mom and she was catching up on lost time. Before she knew it her mom said Libby (calling her by her child nickname which always made her happy). So she said Libby I love you so much baby. Olivia squeezed her mother back and said Libby I love you so much more mommy. Rosie laughed because she knew that was impossible but let it go for that moment. Liv continued saying Mommy I miss you so much, please don't go. I will give anything please crying on her chest. Rosalyn looked at her daughter and said Libby I never went anywhere because I'm right there in your heart and whenever you want to talk I'm listening I might not respond but I'm there with you okay. Then she disappeared and Liv woke up with tears in her eyes when she realized that she was awake. She took a deep breath trying to calm down. Interrupting her woosah Abby and Quinn came in her room. Quinn said " Hey Liv we're up early ..." When Quinn finally looked at her and saw the tears she said, " What's wrong with you? " While Abby was hugging her. Liv answered , Just thinking about mommy, you know. Abby said, " Its going to be okay and you know what I bet she's really proud of you. Liv said When did you get so smart huh? Abby responded , " I dont know I guess I was just born that way." They all busted out laughing . Huck opened the door and saw them in tears and laughing and said, "You guys are so weird ", then closed the door. They smiled and then the gang got ready for school and work so they can start their day.

Liv saw the building on Lewis ave and came inside observing the atmosphere until she heard, " Hello Ms..." Ms. Pope, Olivia Pope and I'm here for Mr. Jake Ballard . The receptionist said , Very well follow me. You're actually early and thats new for around here so you've already started off great. Entering his office she said Mr. Ballard, Olivia Pope is here. Turning his attention to her Jake turned to Liv and said I thought your name was Gabrielle. Whats with the fake name? She gave him a remorseful look and said I'm sorry but I wanted to make sure this was legit until I gave my actual name. Jake said, " I understand and how has your morning been so far?" Well depending on how this meeting goes I'll let you know. Jake chuckled liking her quick comeback . So Olivia tell me why do you need this job and alil something about yourself? She answered , " Everyone from my job has been let go because they're closing down and I have important people that count on me which shall remain nameless. So I need to ensure that they're taken care of. And when it comes to them I'll put it all on the line for them. Jake said, " I understand and clearly you are overqualified so I'll have you be an assistant, secretary, overseer of cases of Rosen, Ballard & Davis Firm until you can work your way up. You start at 8:30 am, Congratulations. Liv lightly screeched Thank you so much . I really do appreciate this.

Liv was so pleased with herself that she decided to treat herself to breakfast. Walking into the restaurant she already knew she wanted a table for one eventhough it was crowded . The host said that there was none available. She turned to leave but he told her another gentleman wanted a table for one as well but did she mind just sitting with him. Before she could say no Fitz aka Elijah looked up and said Its absolutely fine Gabrielle and I can share while gently pulling her chair out and pushing it in.
Fitz started off the conversation asking, Gabrielle how have you been since I last saw you? Liv answered , Well considering I just saw you yesterday not much. He smirked saying , " Maybe I deserved that. The waiter came to get their orders. Liv said, I'm gonna get pancakes with strawberries and chocolate syrup, scrambled eggs, biscuits and crispy bacon and a caramel frappe, thank you. Fitz said , I'll have hashbrowns, eggs waffles, and sausages with a coffee and 3 sugars, thank you sir. So Gabrielle tell me about yourself. Who is Gabrielle? Liv felt like she trust this guy but as much as this felt weird to even feel safe around a stranger but she did. " I'm a legal consultant. I have a pretty boring life. I love to read. I have a handful of people I would do anything for. And I LOVE food like ALOT ALOT. Fitz cut her off saying Yeah because ibwas listening to you order. I can't believe a woman of your small stature can eat so much. Liv glared at him, " Which brings me to the last important thing NEVER talk about my size. Have you ever heard that good things come in small packages? Besides I workout so I don't look as big as a house. " Well I think you're gorgeous , Fitz said . Liv swore he was checking her out.
Bringing him out of his lust induced haze the waiter came with their food and it caught Liv's attention quickly. Fitz smirked at how adorable she was . While eating their food Liv decided she wanted to learn more about him. " So Elijah I'm not letting you leave until you tell me something about yourself." Okay I love football. I love reading as well. I graduated from Harvard University. I'm not a very social person. Liv retorted, " You could've fooled me." He continued, There is no woman that has been able to catch my attention or my time but you are special . Liv blushed alil. Oh and I also love to spend time with my nephew, nieces and siblings. Olivia saw the light in his eyes and knew he loved children deeply. She smiled asking, do you want children? He responded how do you know I don't already have kids? She snarkly repsonded, well I'm pretty sure you're about to tell me then . Fitz retorted , " No I don't have kids but I want some in the future. But are you propositioning me Gabrielle? Liv playfully scoffed , " No I am not I barely know you . And how do you know if I want kids? They began to have a silent conversation between her chocolate brown orbs and his beautiful baby blues as she referred to them in her mind. She gave in and said I do want kids some day. He grinned because he just knew that he'd father her beautiful babies one day. She laughed shaking her head because she knew what he was thinking. Then there was one last burning question Liv wanted answered so she asked, Why did you go into such a dangerous business? I mean you graduated from Harvard so you're far from dumb. He laughed saying, " Like you I have people who depend on me and when I graduated there wasn't any jobs in my field so I had to do what I had to do. Whatever to ensure that they have everything they need and more."
After Fitz paid for the check arguing with Olivia for 10 minutes and just letting her leave the tip. When they left out the restaurant Fitz hugged Liv and held her for a few seconds because he didn't know when he'd see her again. While hugging him she breathed in his marvelous scent. Letting go she said , "I had a good time , thank you", while biting her lip. She always bites her lip when she's nervous but Fitz thought she was trying to tempt him. He said, " It was my pleasure, I did too". Then they waved bye. Olivia went home to change and work off that breakfast she had. She definitely was going to enjoy her only day off so she can be relaxed for her new job the next day.
In the beginning I can relate to Liv having a dream about her mom. My mom passed from pancreatic cancer 2 yrs ago and I really miss her. I literally dream about her every night. I guess she knows that I need her with me. The conversation in the dream was made up but I wanted to incorporate alil person experience. I loved the sister moment between the girls.
Liv and Fitz have this really cute flirty type friendship. They'll find out that eachothers real name and everything soon. Thanks for reading my story I appreciate it.
