They were meeting up at an arcade so they can play games and just hang out. The day after Megan's daddy daughter dance they didn't meet up because well they were alil occupied to say the least. Liv and Tracee spotted eachother in the parking lot. They both were wobbling walking towards one another and they couldn't help but laugh at one another.
"Hey guys" Liv said to Tracee and Harry.
"Hey yall" Tracee and Harrison responded.
Fitz high fived Harry as soon as he walked up. "Brooooooo"
Harry responded, "Well you know how I do". They were referring to putting in that work in the bedroom.
"You guys are so annoying!" Liv and Tray said.
"Livvie you wasn't saying that yesterday or the day before that so you need to cut it", Fitz responded
They all went inside the arcade but first they had to put money on their card in order to play. As the men put money on the cards the women waited on the line to play the games. "Sooooooo Mrs. Soon to be Grant how was your weekend?"
"Well clearly I didn't leave Fitz's apartment being that we were ummm busy. Girl that man is mm mmm mm. Seriously everytime that I think it can't get better than this it just keeps on exceeding my expectations."
"I know that's right Lib lets just say Harry is an overachiever I mean I never knew he could eat like listen sis you talk about feeding him I FEDDDDDDDDDDDD HIM constantly I was literally drained. I finally got my energy back this morning. Your cousin is a beast."
"Oooooooooooooookay Tray and this is what happens when I let you talk you are ridic"
"Listen I don't want to hear anymore dick talk until I recuperate. But enough about me how are my niece and nephew?"
"They're actually being good for mommy right now. I haven't experienced any harsh kicking so far but at night its like they're ready for the champion ship game until daddy talks to them then they calm down. He rubs my stomach every night and read a book to my belly, its the sweetest thing. I fall more in love with him and our children everyday."
"Awwww baby I love you and our babies way more than you can imagine." They started tonguing eachother down in front of everybody.
"Guys Guys please just don't...not right now."
"Oh relax there is nothing wrong with public displays of affection for the love of your life. Besides you two are inappropriate too so cut it out with the chastisement! " Fitz said.
"Not as worst as yall." Harry said.
"I plead the fifth", Liv said.
The boys challenged the girls at the basketball hoop and they just knew they were going to win. "Okay so lets go. We totally got this because Harry damn sure can't play and Fitz is not good enough to beat us. C'mon Tray."
They began playing and balls were coming at them so fast but they just kept going. The girls lost the first round and to Liv and Tray that was unacceptable because they are super competitive and they knew they had to come back in the 2nd and 3rd round. They changed up their strategy to Liv passing Tracee the balls and Tray shooting them. They ended up winning that round.
"Okay whatever it's best 2 out of 3 anyway so we got this Fitz."
"Yeah whatever just get ready to lose Harry. You and blue eyes are going down!" Liv said and Fitz started blushing.
Somehow the girls kicked up the speed but wasn't as calculated as before and they ended up losing.
"Wait we can totally do best 3 out of 5" Liv said.
"No babe its 2 out of 3 you said it yourself"
She started looking at him with those big brown doe eyes and the cutest little sad face with her pouty lips, " But baby I want to"
"No we're not playing again Liv we won." Harry said.
"Shut Up Harrison before I trip you" Liv said.
"Come here my big baby... (she walked over to him and cuddled in his big strong arms while sticking out her tongue at Harry) Thats not nice...apologize to Harry"
"But baby"
"No buts"
"I'm sorry", she said while sticking up her middle finger at him where Fitz couldn't see it.
"Evil", Harry said.
"Shut up watermelon head." Liv responded.
"I know you're not talking..."
Tracee cut him off, "Enough you two. Harrison leave her alone."
"Did you not just see her give me the finger?"
"Babe she's pregnant she wins at everything okay now drop it."
"I love you Tracee", Liv said while hugging her.
"I love you too Libs and stop arguing with him."
"Aha" Harry said and Tracee smacked the back of his head while Liv and Fitz laughed. They continued on playing Deal or No Deal where the girls won the million dollar case while the boys loss. Then they played everything from car race to the rope game to the coin pushing game to the hook game just everything.
"Are my 3 babies hungry?" Fitz asked.
"Yessss" They all answered with grins.
"Actually I was talking to my sweetbaby", Fitz said.
Liv blushed, " We want (she held her stomach as if to try and make a decision from the vibes the twins were giving her) cheese burgers with no tomatoes ALOT of pickles and black olives and jalapeños on the side, and bacon cheddar fries with lots of bacon and a butter pecan McFlurry mixed with oreo cookies and cream ...oh and onion rings too can't forget that...thank you baby, I love you."
"I love you too", he said kissing her. As they were all finally eating they were talking about the wedding.
"I don't want to have a big ceremony we can do it in a nice small outdoor venue with a gazebo and a priest with my family and I was thinking a few of my friends from work but I'm not sure about the last part probably just family." Liv said while dipping the jalapeños in the McFlurry and eating it. Everyone was just watching her eating the nasty concoction.
"And thats fine as long as you get what you want I'm okay with that. If everything would have went as I planned you would have been Mrs. Pope -Grant a long time ago."
"Just Grant babe"
"Really Libs? You always said you would hyphenate your name" Harry said.
"That was before I met the love of my life, the reason why I will ever even give marriage a thought. This man is everything to me and like my nana say It don't get no better!"
"Speaking of how is Nana ?"
"She's doing great her and Pop Pop should be here by next week."
"WOW talk about alot to take in. Fitz are you ready for Nana and PopPop?" Harry asked.
"If you mean am I endlessly in love with their granddaughter and can't live without her then yes I am ready to meet them. I knew that it was inevitable so I'm not worried."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It was now next week and Olivia was getting everything ready or at least trying to without Fitz asking her to slow down every five seconds.
"Fitz I'm fine I'm pregnant not ill ok. Nothing is wrong with me."
"Okay I'm just trying to make sure you don't overdo it because if I don't you'll be ill. You remember..."
"Babe that was one time relax. And besides everything has to be great because these are my grandparents coming and I want to impress them. I'm the leader of this household and everything reflects on me if things don't go right. Plus they haven't visited since last year and A Lot has changed! I eased in the pregnancy because I didn't want them to be disappointed with me."
"Why would they be disappointed? Liv that doesn't make any sense"
"There is alot of pressure on me Fitz I'm supposed to be focused and this pregnancy just came out of nowhere I mean. Its not like I don't love my babies because clearly I do. I would do anything for them but it is hard when everyone is watching you. I care about what my Nana and PopPop thinks of me."
"That's fine Olivia"
"Oh C'mon Fitz I know you're not upset at me" She said it like more of a statement and not a question because she knows he never calls her Olivia unless he's mad at her.
"Babe... Fitz" Liv was calling after him as he was walking away but the doorbell rung signaling that her grandparents were here before time. "That's just great." She said with tears in her eyes because he hurt her feelings and add on her hormones she was no good.
"I got it Libs" Huck said.
As soon as the door opened Nana and PopPop came in with huge koolaide smiles hugging and kissing their grandbabies one by one. Abby and Quinn and Huck loved the affection that their grandparents showed them.
"Hi Nana's babies, how you been doing?"
"Good we're glad that school is almost over. We graduate in a few weeks and then its off to college." Abbs answered.
"I know my babies are growing up so fast. And speaking of where is my pumpkin?"
"I'm right here PopPop and Nana" She ran over to them and hugged them tight. Tears started falling and she didn't even try to stop them. "I missed you both so much."
"Awwwww boo we're only a phone call away." Nana said.
"I know. Its just hard with you both not living so close."
"I understand pumpkin. Now where is your fiancée that we spoke to over the phone?" PopPop asked.
"Right here sir ma'am" Fitz came shaking their hands.
"Nonsense give me a hug and you can call me Nana. Aside from talking to you on the phone I've heard alot about you from my Libby and how much she loves you and how you changed her life for the better. You're all she ever talks about on the phone how Fitz makes her dinner and rubs her feet even when they're not hurting and how overprotective you are of her and your babies who she loves so much." Nana said
"She does huh? Well I feel the exact same way about her. I love your granddaughter so much it hurts. She is the light of my life and the calm to the storm. I don't know what I would do without her and my babies and I hope to never know." He said while looking at Liv and she smiled.
"Awwww he is so romantic ain't he Richard"
"Yeah yeah Nessa"
As everyone left the living room to go in the dining room Fitz caught Liv by her arm. "Baby I'm sorry for being a jerk earlier I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." He said while holding her in his arms.
"I'm sorry too. I know you probably thought I regret our babies but I don't. Fizzy I love all of you from the bottom of my heart. I was just a nervous wreck. I didn't mean it that way."
"I know honey you don't have to apologize I shouldn't have been so insensitive to you because if I were in your shoes I would've been freaking out the same way." He kissed her and she squeezed him as tight as she could.
"Libby sweetie we're waiting on you so we can eat." Nana said.
"Yeah tell lat young man that whatever yall doing can wait! If you ask me yall done did enough!" PopPop said.
Liv and Fitz came back in the dining area blushing. "Richard you cut it out. Talking like that in front of the chil'ren." Nana said.
"Sorry" Liv and Fitz said simultaneously while Abby and Quinn couldn't stop laughing at their grandparents comments. As they ate the 21 questions began or otherwise getting to know Fitz interrogation.
"So Grant where did you meet my pumpkin?" Richard asked.
"Actually she came to me for a job but it wasn't really in her field so I directed her somewhere else."
"And what type of job is it that you do?" Nana asked.
"Well I'm working on a restaurant right now so that I can better support my family but I do have money saved for us."
"Okay and what job did you use to do?" Nana retorted.
"Uhhhh a major special distributive company in the medical field."
"So you went from being a drug lord to a business owner?" Richard said. Liv gasped looking from her grandfather to Fitz to her Nana and back again.
"I wouldn't say that I mean..."
"You was nothing but a drug dealer, tell the truth."
"Richard!" Nana shouted.
"With all due respect sir I don't think its fair to be so judgemental about someone's life and choices that you don't even know. You all have a good evening, it was nice to meet you Mrs. Williams and Mr. Williams." Fitz got up and went to the backyard to cool off.
"I can't believe you" Liv said with tears in her eyes looking at her grandfather while getting up to go after Fitz.
"Pumpkin... I" he said.
"Leave me alone" Liv said.
"Olivia Carolyn Pope you watch the way you talk to me." Richard said to her but she just kept on walking. After that Richard left from the table and went to their guest room.
"Well I guess that means no dessert then." Abby said.
"Abigail" Nana responded.
"Sorry nana"
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Fitz baby slow down" Liv said.
"Livvie I respect my elders but your grandfather "
"Was totally out of line, I know."
"I mean I knew someone was surely going to judge me for my past but when Tracee's dad was so nice about it I thought hey maybe people will overlook it. You know I'm a good person and I did that job because I had to look out for my family not because I wanted to. You know me Livvie I would never"
"Babe its okay. I know my nana is going to talk to him about being rude."
"Now I feel like a coward for walking out of that discussion. I should've stood up for myself better than that."
"Fitz you did the right thing you was polite and you didn't disrespect him even when he was disrespecting you, so thank you. Now come back inside so we can finish talking to nana." They walked in to find that the table was cleared and the dishes were done with the plates put away and everything clean.
When they walked inside the living room Liv saw that her grandfather wasn't there and the kids were playing cards with their grandmother. Soon they all joined in playing cards and laughing.
"Fitzgerald I am truly sorry for how Richard spoke to you. That was not necessary at all."
"Thank you ma'am but its okay I"
"No it isn't for whatever reason you had the job is your business and Richard should not have said what he said. You are no longer doing that type of business and that is all that matters. Do you hear me young man?"
"Yes ma'am and thank you again"
"Call me Nana...ma'am makes me feel older" she said smiling with those big doe eyes like Liv. Nana was 72 years old and had the most prettiest hair and a gorgeous smile with a beautiful face to match. She sat there in her linen capris and her linen top to match with her hair in curls with a halo braid to tame it.
"Yes nana"
It had been two days since Pop Pop had sincerely apologized to Fitz and they actually talked about Fitz's old job and everything and they were getting along. Everything was going great except Liv and Richard wasn't speaking to eachother. Richard tried talking to her in the beginning but she was so upset at him that she ignored him. It got awkward when everyone would be interacting and he would say something and she'd just shut down momentarily. Nana got tired of it so she pulled Olivia off
to the side so she could speak to her.
"How Nana's babies been? Are they giving you a hard time?"
"No actually my nausea has went away and I feel okay. They normally get really active during the night but Fitz calms them down." Liv said smiling thinking of him.
"Look at that smile. I remember how you used to sneak in the kitchen with your grandfather and take a piece of pumpkin pie when you know dinner wasn't finished yet. And everytime he woulld say leave my pumpkin alone, I took it and I knew he was lying because he didn't want his babygirl to get in trouble. And you would just have the cutest toothless grin because you knew your Pop Pop would save the day." Nana said while brushing Liv's hair while she laid down with her head in her lap.
Liv smiled remembering all of those times he got her out of trouble but then she went back to frowning.
"You know you act just like him"
"No I don't"
"Yes you do that stubborn attitude drives me to drink ... I kn
ow you're still upset with him but give him a chance. Did you know that your PopPop's sister had this boyfriend a cute young thing. Well she was head over heels in love with him. The family didn't like him for nothing in the world. For one Crystal was only 22 years old and you know her being the only girl that was too young for her to be dating or even in love with some boy. Well her boyfriend Lionel was into that fast money life. He sold drugs and you know its a whole bunch of that down south. Anywho because Richard's family didn't approve he wasn't allowed in their house so she spent all her time at his house. One day in particular Crystal was there and he wasn't and a whole bunch of men raided his house they found her by herself and they knew she was his lady friend so they killed her in cold blood. That same day Richard was coming to meet her so they could spend the day together because they were very close and although he didn't really click with Lionel he still respected him. So they were always together. When Richard got there he saw the front door was cracked and he screamed but no sound came out he couldn't believe his baby sister was shot. When the ambulance got there they saw him trying to revive her by pumping her chest. He had blood all over him. The look in his eyes was one I will never forget."
"You was there Nana?"
"Yes chile. The paramedics knew from
when they got there it was too late. She was already dead at the crime scene. Later on everyone found out that these weren't any random men. They knew Lionel and he owed them money from a drug deal. The cops locked him up but to Richie that was nothing compared to the pain that he and his family went through with the loss of Crystal. Since that day your grandfather NEVER liked drug dealers ever since. Now I'm not condoning what he did but at least I could give you alil incite to why he was upset. He vowed that day that he would protect everyone he love from that type of lifestyle."
"Im gonna go find him." Liv got up from laying down.
"Go head"
"Nana?" She turned around "I love you and thank you for being here"
"I love you to my sweetie pie." She smiled and went on a search for her grandfather.
She found him sitting on the porch out front. He looked up when he saw her.
"Hey PopPop" she eased down to sit by him.
"Hey pumpkin"
"Nana told me about auntie Crystal. I'm sorry that happened"
"Yeah me too. But it doesn't excuse how rude I was to Fitz and I've apologized to him but not to you and thats where I was wrong...again." They both laughed.
Liv snuggled onto his chest like she used to do when she was younger. "PopPop how come you never told me about Auntie Crystal?"
"Because I don't speak about her to other people or at all really. Its too painful for me. I've did therapy and everything else imaginable but its still difficult but you know the 3 most important things that kept me happy?"
She shifted her head up to look at him," what was that?"
"My Nessa oh she helped me get through the worst times of my life. She was and will always be my sunshine. Sometimes I look at her and I see that little girl I had a crush on in grade school that I was afraid to talk to. Oh she was prettiest lil girl in the world to me let alone the school. She was so polite, smart and pretty I knew right then in there that she would have my heart so I had to get her to be my friend and the rest was history. Now when we got married she had my next blessing Ms. Rosalynn Carolyn Williams the cutest little girl that had me wrapped around her finger. And as if that wasn't enough God saw fit to bless me with my little beautiful grandchild my pumpkin Olivia Carolyn Pope"
Livvie giggled," Hey that's me."
"Yes it is. Man I thought Rosie had me bad you were even worse. Everytime I saw those big doe eyes from Nessa on down to you I knew I couldn't let my three favorite girls down."
"Thanks for spoiling me PopPop and always being my hero. I love you." Liv said to him with the most genuine innocent look in her eyes.
His tears just starting falling," I love you too pumpkin."
"I put away a piece of pumpkin pie for you."
"Thank you PopPop "
"Richie you're always spoiling her" Nana said.
"Anything for my babygirl, right pumpkin?"
"Right PopPop"
"You two are always teaming up against me"
"Oh you know I love me some you Nessa" he said while hugging her close and kissing her lips.
"Ewwwww PopPop and Nana get a room"
"Oh we plan to" Nana said giggling.
"Gross" All the grandkids said covering their ears and closing their eyes but they were still happy to know that their grandparents were very much so still in love.
They decided to watch movies.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Megan sweetie?"
"Yes auntie Libs"
"What do you want for breakfast?"
"Ummmmm pancakes (she tood there alil longer with her finger on her chin thinking as if she was making a major decion and Liv couldn't help but smile at how adorably cute she is) and strawberries please"
"Okay, would you like to help me make it?"
"Yessss" she agreed excitingly.
"Okay so we have the flour, milk, eggs, and butter. Now we just have to mix. You think you can help me with that princess?" Liv asked and she nodded yes.
Liv turned on music so they can sing and dance while they were cooking. A whole new World was playing and they were having a ball, the music enchanting them even more. Somehow Liv had got pancake batter on her nose so she gave Megs and eskimo kiss to get it on her too.
"Auntie Libs you in twouble", she said giggling. Then as the pancakes started cooking her and Liv began decorating eachothers faces and laughing at how sily they looked. Fitz walked in and smiled at the scene. He couldn't wait til he woke up to Liv doing this with their daughters or kids.
"Heyyy how come I wasn't invited to make breakfast?" Fitz said with the cutest pout.
Liv took the pancakes out and put them on a plate. Then her and Megan looked at eachother and agreed on what they would do next. They got up an jumped on Fitz attacking him with kisses all over his face while giggling and he started tickling both of them making them laugh even harder.
"Heyyy thats not fair you got pancake batter all over me" he said.
"We love our Fiz wight auntie?"
"Right Megs" Liv said looking at Fitz with a sparkle in her eye.
"And I love my princesses and my queen" he said while rubbing Liv's belly.
"Well what do we have here? Why is there batter on you all faces?" Nana asked.
Liv and Megs looked at eachother and then pointed to Fitz.
"Ohhhh nice get me in trouble. I thought you loved me Alleycat."
"I do but I don't want to get in twouble" Megs responded.
"Fair enough" Fitz said.
Liv took the reigns, "It was my fault actually."
"And who is this little cutie pie?"
"This is Fitz and I goddaughter Megan Allison Garnett" Liv answered.
"Hi there" Nana said.
"Say hi Megs ...this is my Nana and Pop Pop"
"Hi" she said shyly.
They started eating and talking seeing as they already cleaned their faces of the mess.
"Not that I'm complaining or anything but why are you guys back so early?"
"Well the kids couldn't keep up with, they were too tired." Pop Pop said.
"Now Richard you stop that fibbing...your Pop Pop is becoming even more of an old man and got tired quickly."
"Oh Nessa you wasn't saying that la"
"Ears...young ears are around"
"Sorry pumpkin" Pop Pop said.
"Alleycat lets go play in the backyard" Fitz took her out there and they began playing on the tire swing that has been there for years. Liv's father had made it as soon as he found out that Rosie was pregnant. He could not wait to push his babyboy or babygirl on the swing. He would take Liv out there and play on that swing until it was dinner time. After he passed away Rosie couldn't get Liv to come off it. She had to beg her or just remove her from the swing herself. Liv would go there whenever she was sad, depressed, happy, lonely, miserable whatever feeling she was having she'd go to the swing. Her grandpa told her that whenever she wanted to talk to her dad she could just sit on that swing and talk but just because he didn't answer didn't mean he wasn't listening. So she would be out there just talking to the sky knowing that her papa heard her.
"Your mama used to call me all the time saying Ma...Liv is out there on that swing again and I don't know what to do. She's out there crying and I feel like I'm failing as a mother. Like I can't bring her happiness. I don't want her to be sad. I mean I know she misses Eddie because I do too but its like nothing I do can help her. And I told her babay putting a band aid on the wound of losing someone isn't helping. I told her you had to go through it for yourself. The wounds get smaller but the hurting doesn't stop."
"I wish I would've known that she felt that way. I would've told her mom you are the best woman I've known and its not your fault that we lost daddy. I love her and miss her so much."
"I know pumpkin, we all do"
"You know Fitz is gonna be a great father, he already is" Pop Pop said.
"Yeah I know, I am so grateful for him." He caught her looking at him and mouthed I Love You and she did the same.
"You remember Tracee right?"
"Uhh Eric and Elizabeth lil girl, sure" Nana said.
"That's their grandaughter, Tracee's daughter"
"Come to think of it she looks just like a mini verion of her mama, ole cute lil chocolate girl"
"Yeah she's dating Harrison"
"I always did like her, Harry better not hurt her."
"Oh he is head over heels for her trust me. They'll be here later for dinner and Fitz's family too."
"So that means we need to start cooking its already 1:30 sugar"
"So what did you have in mind to cook?"
"Lemme see macaroni and cheese, green beans and turkey neckbones, cabbage, rice and black eyed peas, sweet yams, baked chicken, smothered porkchops, toss salad with meats and everything, and"
"Please tell me you're making some more pumpkin pie"
"Libbie you know one day you gone turn into a pumpkin"
"Nannaaaaaaa" she whined.
"How about I make that for you another time and make banana pudding tonight"
Liv's mouth started watering, "You know what nana that sounds amazing"
"Tell Fitz I need him to go to the store and to take the girls with him."
"Okay...baby c'mere...Nana needs you to to go to the store and take Abby and Quinn with you. I'll keep Megs."
"Alright"
"C'mon sweetie lets get you out of these clothes and in a bath so you can take a nap." She followed Liv with no protest whatsoever. Liv bathed her and already knew she would be sleep for at least two hours.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"So do you know exactly what we have to get because nana is very specific with what she uses to cook. I have went to the store 3 times back to back trust me." Abby groaned.
"Yeah she gave me a list. You can get the noodles, milk, turkey necks, porkchops, cabbage, peas and the cheese ...oh excuse me she said LOTS of cheese" Fitz told her.
"Well okay."
Fitz noticed how Quinn was so silent the whole way there and even now. "Hey you've been so quiet? You okay?"
"Yeah well I haven't really felt like talking lately" Quinn snapped.
"Excuse me...I didn't mean to get you so upset"
"No, I'm sorry. I was totally out of line."
"What's been bothering you?"
"Its just that I feel like everyone is growing and maturing, going down their own paths. Soon Huck and Abby will be off to university and I won't have anyone in school with me. All of my friends are Abbs friends so they won't be there next year. Soon Liv is going to have the babies and you both will get married and everyone is just going to forget about me."
"That's not true. Why do you think that?"
"Because thats what happened in my old foster home. Imwan I know my brother and sisters love me but I'm not exactly a social butterfly and I feel like I'm the youngest and I'm going to be in shool forever. I don't even know how to make friends. I think people come around just because my sister and brother are popular."
"Oh C'mon Quinnie *his nickname for her* you're funny, intelligent, pretty, witty, sarcastic"
"Nice you forgot nice" Quinn said.
"Oh yeah annoying" he said laughing. "Okay all you have to do is pretend that I'm a kid at your school"
"As if there's anyone there that looks like you but okay"
"You know what I mean...now how would you approach me?"
"Uhh good school huh?"
"No Quinn you gotta talk about interesting things like an ice breaker, the weather, what classes they have, what clubs they're interested in, sports or something like that. Find common ground and then you decide if you actually like them. But remember only friends because I don't want to have to beat some lil boy's ass."
"As if! I'm almost 16 and I've already spotted a few honey dips in school that may need my attention."
"Yeah and an ass whooping from Huck, Harry and I too"
"Whatever"
"Or I could let Liv know about it"
"Nooooooooooooo" she yelled getting the attention of other shoppers in the supermarket.
Fitz had a smug grin. "Alright nothing to see here, everything is okay people." Quinn said diffusing the situation.
"Or I can tell Liv how when you watched Megan you gave a quart of icecream and it gave her a tummy ache after her and Tracee told you not to before they left out."
"You wouldn't " Fitz said.
"Wouldn't what?" Abby said walking up.
"Yeah Fitz wouldn't what?"
"Nothing"
When they got to the house Quinn jetted from the car to get inside and Fitz was trying his hardest to make it in with all the groceries before she could tell Liv what happened and he be in the doghouse.
"Liv" Quinn said.
"Are you serious right now?" Fitz said.
"You should see your face, its hilarious. I'm not going to say anything."
"That is so not funny."
"What's not funny babe?" Liv asked.
"Oh just some joke Quinn was telling in the car" Quinn and Fitz busted out laughing.
"You both are crazy." Liv said while carrying some of the groceries inside so her and her grandmother could finish cooking. Before they knew it Tracee and her clan had arrived and Jake and his son Christian, Fitz's sister Savannah and his two nieces and they all were gathering.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Savi it is so good to see you. It feels like I haven't seen you since forever, we gotta hang out."
"I know Liv its just been alot going on and with the kids and working, I've been busy but we definitley have to hang out."
"Of course."
"Sooooo speaking of kids, how you doing mama, you ready?"
"Well yeah I'm socializing as much as I can because I know soon my only friend is going to be 2 newborns with a powerful set of lungs and strong demands. But in all seriousness I need them to evacuate because they are pretty much getting alil uncomfortable in there. But its like I have these doubts because I don't want to screw them up. I'm used to taking care of toddlers not newborns, thats a whole other level is responsiblity. Fitz has so much faith in me though that I'm going to be a great mother and I love him for that. But its so hard on mothers because everyone expects you to have the instinct to know what to do, and what the baby wants at all times. I just don't want to fail them."
"And that's the thing there is no manual when it comes to raising babies, trust me I've checked. When I had my girls I was just like you stressing. First of all their dad died in the army and by me coming to identify him in the hospital out in Germany I ended up finding out I was pregnant. So we both didn't know anything. He was stationed out there and was due home that weekend. I knew that I couldn't raise those girls by myself and Fitz encouraged me and told me that they were going to need me and Adam was believing in me to eventhough he wasn't here but he knew that I could raise our girls to the best of my ability. So I stood on that. Now I'm not going to tell you its easy besause its not. Sometimes you're going to get it right and then other times you're going to fail, its inevitable but you just have to take it one step at a time."
"Thanks Savi for being my voice of reason. You're just like your brother."
"Oh he wish he could be as great as me" They both laughed until suddenly the doorbell rang.
"Well I don't know who" When she opened the door to see Mathew standing there she hugged him so tight.
"Mattiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee what are you doing here?"Liv said.
"I had to come through when I heard all the family was going to be here. How you doing sis? ...I see somebody been busy." He said eyeing her stomach she laughed.
"Shut up Mattie...excuse me Savi this is Tracee's brother Matthew Eric Garnett"
"Sheesh sis the whole name though?"
"Sorry bro...Mattie this is Savannah Grant my fiancée's sister"
"Hi you can call me Savi"
"That's a beautiful name for a beautiful woman." He kissed her hand that she extended to him and blushed. Mattie stood at 6"5 and had the most beautiful chocolate complexion with cute dimples and the whitest straightest teeth you've ever seen. He has beautiful bright brown eyes that could make any girl melt.
"What is all the commotion abo...OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGosh Mattiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeee" Tracee said when she saw her brother she screamed and jumped on him.
"Damn sis still loud and violent I see"
"Matthew you watch your mouth young man" Nana said.
"Sorry Nana Pope" he went around hugging everyone. The only ones who didn't know about him coming was Tracee, Liv and her grandparents and Megan.
They all sat down to eat and talk.
"This food is amazing Nana" Harrison said.
"Thank you baby and Libby helped me cook too." Liv smiled.
"Well Im sure all she did was look and learn aint that right."
"Shut up Harry you always have something to say jughead a.."
"You better not swear at this table young lady"
"But Pop Pop he"
"He nothing"
"Sorry" Liv resigned.
"So Pop Pop what made you all come here?" Tracee asked.
"Well we came to check on our grandbabies and greatgrands to see how they were doing. And what a surprise it is to see all of you and meet some new faces."
"Well ma'am this food is amazing, I would marry you if you weren't already taken." Jake said.
"Aren't you quite the charmer Jacob? I dont think that my Nessa would leave me because she loves me too much."
"I'm not sure Richie. Jacob is very handsome and those green eyes would make any woman go mad."
"Thank you Mrs. Williams" he blushed.
"Daaaaaaaaaaaad" Christian whined laughing.
"So Savannah what kind of work do you do?" Liz asked.
"Well since I had my daughters I developed such an affection for children so I became a doctor, I'm a pediatrician." Savi said.
"That's awesome" Matt said looking straight into Savi's eyes seeing as how they were seated across from eachother.
Fitz being ever the overprotective brother that he is eyed Matt and changed the conversation. "Jake how has work been?"
"Honestly having Tracee and Liv is making business easier. They're calculated and such an asset to our firm"
"I totally paid him to say that!" Both Liv and Tracee said and everyone laughed.
"Some things never change...they always say the same thing at the same time." Elizabeth said.
"Well I am older than Libs so."
"By like 5 minutes Tray 5 minutes and we're the same age anyway."
"So it doesn't matter if it was 5 seconds I'm still the oldest." Tray retorted.
"Okay you two cut it out before I make you pick a switch." Nana said and the back and forth ceased immediatley.
"Huck and Christian how has football been ?"
"Its been good but our last game is friday so we've got to go out with a bang." Chris said.
"We're definitely all coming to route you both on right guys?" Liv said.
"Yeah" Everyone said.
"Princesses Megan, Grace and Addy if its okay with your mom's would you like sundaes?" Their moms nodded.
"Aunt Libby can I get strawberries in mine?" Addy asked.
"Yes sweetie, C'mon lets go make them" Liv answered and left going into the kitchen.
"When the twins come Liv is soooo going to be the pushover." Fitz said.
""Fitzgerald I heard that and you are not getting any dessert tonight." Liv said and everyone laughed.
"She's not serious"
"Oh yes I am."
After they cleaned off the table everyone began eating the banana pudding and Fitz was just sitting there.
"Here but you have to apologize first" Liv said with his banana pudding in her hands teasing him.
"Im sorry baby" He said and then started kissing her and they both forgot where they were.
"You two are always in eachothers mouths." Savi said.
"I like him being in my mouth." Liv teased.
"Whoaaaa way too much info." Tray said walking up.
"Totally not what I meant but ehhh" Liv said. They then all began playing Heads Up and of course the women won because the men were not coordinated. They were laughing having fun and just reminiscing and making new memories. Before they knew it it was already 9pm and everyone started leaving. The girls didn't want to go home.
"Ms. Sa...Ms. Saaa...Ms. Vanni" Megan was trying to say the nickname that everyone call her but couldn't.
"Yes princess" Savi kneeled down so she can talk to her.
"Can Gracie and Addy spend the night with me?"
"Well they don't have any extra clothes with them."
"Unca Fitz has some clothes in his car for us." Gracie said.
"Oh yeah I do, I forgot to drop them off." Fitz said.
"So can we mama?" They all looked at her wide eyed with cute pouts thats she couldn't resist.
"Okay but you have to listen to you aunt and uncle okay."
"Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" They ran and sat on the couch.
"Get ready to deal with cute little kids that give you the biggest wide eyes and cute pouts with their little lips that makes it super hard for you to say no to them." Savi said and Tray agreed.
"I can't wait to say a million yes!" They all laughed because she was going to be the pushover parent.
Liv took all the kids upstairs so she could change them and put them to bed. After she finished reading to them they started talking.
"We love you Auntie Libs and our cousins, they're going to have one of the best mommies in the world."
"We love you all too and thank you princesses."
Liv kissed them and then walked into her bedroom with tears coming down her face.
"Sweet baby what's wrong? Are the babies okay?"
"Yes its just the girls said they loved me and their cousins. They said I'm going to be one of the best mommies in the world."
"Because its true, you already are a great mother." Fitz said while rubbing her belly.
"And you're the best daddy already"
"Thank you mama"
"Your welcome daddy" Liv said seductively
"Liv we're not having sex while your grandparents are down the hall."
"Please daddy just put it in" Liv said biting her bottom lip.
"Okay but you have to be quiet"
"I promise" Liv said giggling then start biting and kissing him.
