Today was a tough day at the hospital for Fitz. It wasn't easy being an instructor for the residence. They are fresh out of Med School and egar, but very prone to mistakes. The staff have been very helpful with the interns, but some days it's just hard. He had to fix a residents mistakes of a misdiagnosed, and overlooked the fact that the patient was allergic to ibuprofen. He was disappointed in the resident, but remembered when he was a resident. He too made mistakes. So, the resident was on watch as of now, but he'll have to pay close attention to this one.

Benji the resident had potential, but Fitz hope it was going to be his only mistake. After taking care of some paperwork, Fitz decided to visit the new Peds clinic the hospital has opened up. After a stressful he found like he likes to go down to Peds and help with the kiddos. Whatever he can do for them, he will. When he got down there, he saw the person who he couldn't get out of his head. Olivia Pope. God she was gorgeous. Head strong and determined. Fitz wondered what was Olivia's back story. She looks like a strong warrior, that has done her time. Next to her was young Ethan. He looked adorable with his Iron Man hoodie. With a smile Fitz went over to the two.

"Olivia. We meet again." Fitz smiled at Olivia.

"Hi Fitz, how are you? It seems like you are stalking me again." Olivia joked. There was the blue eyed man that Olivia could get lost in.

"I didn't know you are a doctor!" Olivia exclaimed.

"Well there's a lot of things you don't know about me Ms. Pope." Fitz smirked.

"I guess not Dr. Grant." Olivia smiled back. She does need to keep her distance though, it seems like he and Mellie were a couple: Olivia wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole. She saw right through that woman's fakeness.

"So what brings you guys here?" Fitz squatted down and ruffled Ethan's hair.

"Hi buddy!"

"Ha ha ha…..hiiiiiiii Fee" Ethan brought his hand up to Fitz's hand and hugged it.

"He likes you. Which is crazy, because he doesn't like doctors that much. I had to promise him ice cream after work, for me to get him here." Olivia laughed.

"Just a regular check up today?" Fitz asked.

"Yeah, but we've been waiting for a while now and I have to get back to school. I have to push a certain player to her full potential."

"Hmmmm I wonder who might that be?" Fitz laughed. He sent a quick prayer for Karen because he knew it was going to be another tough tryouts for Karen.

"Tell you what, let me see if a room is opened and I can take a look at him." Fitz went over to the desk and asked if they had any examination rooms opened. The receptionist pointed to room 110 and Fitz smiled.

"Thanks Patty May."

"I see you smitten by that young lady Dr. Grant." Patty May smirked.

"We are just friends Patty May."

"Yes, well just friends turn into girlfriend's Dr. Grant." Patty May laughed and walked away with a file.

Fitz went back over to Olivia and Ethan and smiled.

"Looks like it's your lucky day bud. You can go back there with me! I'll fend off these mean doctors." Fitz made a face at Ethan and the little boy laughed out loud. Olivia observed the two as Fitz pushed Ethan's wheelchair into the room. She haven't seen Ethan this happy since he last saw his mother. It was hard having Sam overseas. The only thing that made Olivia breath easy was that she was a Pilot so she wouldn't be in danger. Ethan loves his mother so much. He doesn't go to bed until he watches ones of the videos his mother made reading him a story.

When they got into the room, Fitz left them for a while. He came back holding Ethan's file.

"Well look at here Mr. Ethan. Looks like we have to see how big you have gotten and how much you've eaten for this wholleeeee year." Fitz made a O face at Ethan and he smiled. Because of his condition he had muscle spasms and Fitz was well aware of that. When he was at his previous job, he was the primary doctor that took care of kids with special needs. He also saw that Ethan needed shots and felt bad. Fitz with the help of Olivia got Ethan on the hoyer lift and got Ethan situtied.

"Weeeee. Look at you fly boy!" Fitz smiled at Ethan as he took down the boys weight. Then he helped straighten out Ethan's muscles as the boy got a little tense. Afterwards, Fitz took down his height. Olivia was just in awe. Ethan was never this calm at the doctors.

"I'll be right back with treats Ethan!"

"Otaaaayyyy! (Okay)". Ethan responded excitedly. Fitz went to get the shots that Ethan needed and came back with a bubbles. He put on his gloves and started to sing.

"In the jungle, the mighty jungle! The lion sleeps tonight! A-weee, a-weema-weh. A-weema-weh h….." As he made the sound Fitz pumped his chest and did a Tarzan yell. He gave Ethan his first shot and the little boy didn't even notice it. Then he did it again with bubbles, in goes the second shot, unnoticed by the boy.

Olivia was shocked. No doctors have ever been successfully given Ethan shots without him crying and screaming. Fitz applied the bandages and gave Ethan a toy.

"Wow! You are one of my favorite patients! Good job, bud! I'm so proud of you! You were such a brave boy!" Fitz smiled and Ethan held out both of his hands.

"Ha haaaa gggg! (Hug)" Ethan said. Fitz smiled and gave the boy a big hug.

"Feee i cremmmm! (Fitz! Ice cream)". Ethan stated.

"Peaaaaaa (Please)" Ethan begged.

"Okay, bud after I pick up Karen we'll join you for ice cream!" Today was the last day of tryouts and he was already planning on taking her to get ice cream, since it was her favorite.

"Yaaaaaaaaa" Ethan held his hands up and celebrated.

"Hope you don't mind Olivia." Fitz smiled shyly.

"No! I don't mind at all! It'll be my treat! What you did with Ethan was AMAZING! I've never seen him react this well to a doctor before. Thank you so much!" Olivia sighed in relief. She hated to see her nephew in tears.

"I guess we'll have to see if Karen makes the team." Olivia smirked.

"I have faith in my daughter. She's my star." Fitz responded like any proud father would.

"Well, Dr. Grant I'll see you and Karen later." Olivia smiled and helped Ethan back in his wheelchair. Fitz walked Olivia and Ethan out and continued on with his day. He saw more patients and the staff at Peds were very appreciative. They were short handed and having a doctor that was willing to come help was rare.

The final bell ranged and Karen bolted out of the classroom. Ella met her at her locker.

"Hey girl! You ready for final days of tryouts?" Ella asked.

"You know it! It'll be the toughest day though I feel it, coach doesn't play." Karen shook her head and the two headed to the locker room to change. The girls still hated her, but Karen couldn't care less. She was here to play her game and get scouted. Make her mother and father proud. Before stepping on the court Karen does the sign of the cross and points up at Heaven to her mother.

Karen and Ella got on the court and started to warm up. They did their usual drills and Coach Pope started with drills. She seemed to be on Karen's ass and she was getting annoyed by her. Olivia blew the whistle and spoke.

"Come on Grant! Show me that you want a spot on the team. My players don't miss easy layups." Olivia yelled.

"Sheesh, you need to chill." Karen said under her breath. Olivia heard her and spoke up.

"And for that disrespect everyone owes me 10 laps. A team that can run is a team that can win." Olivia blew the whistle and the girls looked pissed at Karen.

They bumped into her purposely and said "Thanks a lot, hot shot!" Karen sighed and started to run. She knew she needed her attitude in check, but she couldn't help it sometimes. She could care less about what anyone things, but she did not want to disappoint her dad. After the laps, the girls got water and Olivia set up some three on three games. Karen was impressive and outplayed all of her players. But, her team wasn't a one woman show. This was a family, so it would have to be a group effort. If you wanted to show boat, you did not belong on this team. This was Olivia's motto. She does see a great amount of potential in the girl. Olivia wrote down notes and continued to watch.

By the end of tryouts, Olivia gathered all of the tied girls together.

"I just want to say that I am proud of each and every one of you. You all showed heart out there. If you don't make the team, don't take it personally. Use this and strive. And for those who do make the team, practice tomorrow at 3pm sharp and lift afterwards. I will be send out emails for lift schedule. Go get some rest and I'll see some of you tomorrow." Olivia left and the girls made their way to the locker room.

They rushed to the board and looked at the list. Karen looked at the list and didn't see her name. Then she looked again and there was her name. Karen Grant. She made it.

"I MADE IT! I MADE THE TEAM!" Karen was really excited.

"CONGRATS GIRL!" Ella exclaimed as she also made the team. Karen gave Ella a hug and ran to her dad's car.

"DAD! I MADE IT! I DID IT!" Karen exclaimed in the car.

"OH MY GOD! I'M SO PROUD OF OU KAR!" Fitz and Karen did their made up handshake and he hugged her.

"To get ice cream we go!" Fitz exclaimed. On their way there, Fitz and Karen sang their hearts out to the songs on Fitz's playlist. When they got their Fitz and Karen took a seat.

"We have special guest eating with us tonight!" Fitz said with a smirk. Karen was just talking non stop because she was so excited. When Olivia got there with Ethan, Karen was shocked.

"I think this Jersey belongs to you." Olivia said as she threw the 24 numbered jersey at Karen with a smirk.
