Karen was working out with Olivie on a Sunday afternoon and Fitz was in the gym watching the two. His daughter was so happy to be around Olivie. They worked so well together. It was amazing to watch his daughter smile like that again. Fitz cut ties with Mellie and she wasn't too pleased and he was worried that she would take her anger towards him out on Karen. Fitz just came back from his run on the track so he was sweaty and decided to change out of his shirt. When Fitz took off his shirt Olivia found it hard to concentrate. He was such a fine specimen. His tattoos glistened and he looked so good. His muscles were popping. He was a sight.

Olivia cleared her throat and continued working with Karen. When their workouts ended Karen was bone tired. She just wanted to go home, take a shower and nap. Coach Pope did not play and she wouldn't have it any other way.

"Good job baby." Fitz smiled and gave his girl a side hug.

"Would you like to join us for dinner Olivia?" Fitz asked and flashed his 100 watt smile. Olivia was about to respond when she saw someone she thought she wouldn't see for the rest of her life. Fitz was confused by the look on Olivia's face. She looked like she'd seen a ghost.

"Are you okay Olivia?" Fitz asked in a concerned voice.

"Yes, I have to go." Olivia ran out of the gym and towards the man. Fitz and Karen were both left confused. Olivia dragged the man into her office.

"Huck! What are you doing here…..And how did you find me?" Olivia was not ready to relive the hurt and pain she went through not bringing all of her squadron back.

"I came to find you because we wanted to see you Liv. You need closure. We all of the survivors want to thank you….Without your leadership we wouldn't be here right now….I have three children and I named the girl after you….You saved my life and brought me home ..."

"I wasn't a hero….I didn't save lives….If I was more careful….I could have….I have spent countless times in therapy trying to piece together how I could have been better that day. Seen the attack coming better and known of it ahead of time…"

"You can't think like that Liv…."

"You have survivor's guilt, we all do, but don't let that stop you from living your life."

"Easy for you to say….."

"Liv…..I know I am sorry, but at least you are drinking anymore…."

"It took a lot, but I made it…..Look do you need a place to stay for the night?"

Olivia had Huck followed home and although Olivia was still distant from him she still made small talk. She didn't realize how much she missed her trusted Lieutenant. Olivia didn't like these feelings though, she couldn't let people close to her again. All she does is hurt them. During the night Olivia couldn't sleep and her dreams were filled with nightmares. Olivia woke up screaming and soaked with sweat. That put Olivia in a bad mood. When she was ready to head to the gym, Olivia noticed that her mood had not changed. She needed to lighten up for Karen and Fitz.

Olivia was late and she was never late. When she got to the gym Karen smiled at her and Olivia barely returned.

"What are you doing? Why are you running already?" Olivia scolded. Karen was confused because Coach never raised her voice at her when they were working one on one. Fitz noticed the tone too from where he was running and wondered if everything was okay.

"Coach are you okay?"

"I ASKED YOU A QUESTION GRANT! Why aren't you running?"

"I don't….I….I don't know coach…."

"Well just for that you can run laps till I say so." Olivia blew the whistle and turned around. Karen was stunned and surprised and started running. Fitz watched the whole interaction and did not like what he saw. She had no right raising her voice to Karen. All throughout the practice Olivia did not let up on Karen and she was brutal. She was just pure mean and Karen just took it.

By the end Fitz was mad. He was about to go confront Olivia, but Karen was almost to tears and grabbed his hand. She shook no and just ran out of the gym. Fitz yelled Karen's name and chased her down. Olivia sighed. She messed up, but this is the way to keep everyone out. She realized that she had let Karen and Fitz too close to her and she needed to take a step back. It hurt to see Karen so affected by this is what has to be done. She can't feel and love, last time she did: she had her whole squadron killed.

Karen noticed that Olivia's mood wasn't better during practice. All of the players were tired and they were all ready to go home and Olivia decided to lecture them. Karen accidently rolled her eyes and Olivia saw that.

"Thanks to Grant, you guys can run 10 laps around the gym and then leave." Everyone groaned and thanked Karen sarcastically. When they were all done running Karen walked slowly to her dad's car and once she got in she slammed the door.

"What's the matter Kar?" Fitz asked in a concerned voice.

"What's the matter is that someone kidnapped the coach and replaced her with the devil herself."
"I'm sorry honey….I wish I could do something….." All week it went on like this and Olivia's mood didn't improve. Having Huck there was painful, it just brought back so many bad memories . She was especially hard on Karen and the girl had enough. Olivia was about to yell at her for running a drill wrong when Karen took the basketball against the wall.

"NO! I'M DONE BEING TREATED LIKE CRAP COACH! I WANT THE OLD COACH BACK! I MISS HER…..I miss her…..I have no had a mother figure in my life since my mother died….And when you gave me a chance…..I felt like I could have some who care for me….Like a mom….I felt like I could have that again…..But after this week….I just don't know anymore….I'm done…..You don't have to work with me anymore."

Fitz felt so bad for this girl. She was a strong one but not as strong from what she had to put through this week. Olivia just sat down and put her head between her arms, she just felt so shitty. No matter what she's been going through, Karen didn't deserve to be treated like that. Feeling bad for what had happened, Fitz let Karen go over for a sleepover with some of the girls from the basketball team. Olivia was sitting on the couch and trying to meditate when she heard a doorbell. Tonight was her night off. Her parents have Ethan. It was strange because she wasn't expecting anyone. So, Olivia went to the door to see who it was and it shocked her.

It was Fitz at the door and he looked upset. Olivia didn't open the screen door though.

"Open the door Olivia."

"No."

"Open the door."

"No, I don't appreciate you….."

"OPEN THE DOOR OLIVIA." Olivia was shocked and opened the door. Fitz walked right into her house and just stared at her. He was beyond pissed.

"What is your problem?"

"My problem is you. The way you have treated my daughter this past week is unacceptable. She looked up to you, she watched you, you were her idol, and you go and do this to her….I have tried everyday to protect her from the world...And all she needed protecting was from you! YOU HURT MY LITTLE GIRL! AND FOR WHAT? So you can feel powerful? So you can bully a bunch of high school girls?"

"NO! DON'T YOU!"

"THEN WHAT?"

"BECAUSE OF MY PAST THAT I CAN'T LET ANYONE IN. BECAUSE YOU GUYS WERE GETTING TOO CLOSE…..I AM FUCKED UP….." Olivia pointed the finger towards her temple. "CAN'T YOU SEE THAT? I JUST CAUSE EVERYONE HARM ..." Olivia started to cry.

"What's going on Livvie…..What are you going through…..?" Fitz came closer and closer.

"Let me in….please….."

"I'm so fucked up that it's not worth it Fitz…..I can't live like this anymore….."

"Okay...then let me in….Let me in and let me help you…." Fitz took Olivia into his arms and she sobbed. She cried and let it all out. She couldn't hold it in anymore. Once she was done crying Fitz carried Olivia to the couch.

"It was just a normal day…...we were just supposed to determine if it was safe for the army to move in. This was the last sector of the city and then they would move on to the next….

Everything just went so wrong…...I couldn't get all of them homeee….." Olivia cried more and Fitz hugged her so tight. He couldn't imagine what Olivia was going though but he knows what it feels like to know being able to do anything. When his wife and mother died it took all of him and he went down a dark path. He wasn't going to let Olivia down the same dark path. Olivia began to tell Fitz the rest of the story and his heart broke for her.

She was holding all that in and she just finally couldn't do it anymore.

"You don't have to suffer anymore Livvie….You are a strong woman and you saved so many people's lives…..I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart for what you went through….But, you can't keep punishing yourself and pushing people who care about you away…..You deserve the world…..Let me give it to you…." As Fitz said those words his lips came closer to Olivia's lips.

She looked up at his beautiful blue eyes and their lips connected. The kiss was so magical and what they both wanted.
