Omg! Is it scandal week already! I'm so excited! Where do you guys think Olivia disappeared to? Do you think she will come back? Do you think there will be a lot of olitz? I hope so haha. So I know it's been forever and I'm so sorry guys. It's been hard to write lately but I'm working on getting on a groove lol. Fans of "Changes" I'm planning on rewriting that. So don't fear when it gets deleted it will be back up. I feel like there is a lot I didn't explore early on in that story, and a lot of it was unrealistic so I'm going to rewrite. But anyways my loves, thank you for sticking with me. Here is your update, and as always don't forget to review and enjoy:).

The elevator dings, signaling the arrival of a new visitor to the tenth floor. Fitz steps off and looks around until he spots Abby at the nurses station.
"Excuse me?" Fitz's deep voice grabs Abby's attention away from the chart she was working on.
"Hi." Fitz offers her a charming smile. "I'm looking for Dr. Olivia Pope." Fitz says and Abby gives him a big smile.
"Oh you must be... Um... Um." Abby snaps her fingers as if she is trying to remember his name.
"Fitz."
"Right, right. Hi I'm Abby." Abby sticks out her hand and Fitz takes it with a smile.
"Nice to meet you. Olivia is actually in surgery but I can take you to her office." Abby offers and Fitz sticks his hands in the pockets of his jeans.
"Ya sure." Fitz agrees and Abby steps down from the nurses station.
"Follow me." Abby smiles and starts walking with Fitz trailing behind her.
"So how long have you have you known Liv?" Abby asks and Fitz looks at the back of her head.
"A couple of months." He looks around the hospital and Abby continues to walk.
"So Liv says you guys are close." Fitz smiles at the comment and nods.
"You could say that." Fitz remembers Olivia warning him about a certain nosey red head, and he could only assume that this was her. Fitz continues to follow the red head until the reach a dead end and a door, that Fitz could only assume was Olivia's office.
'Dr. Olivia Pope MD
Pediatric surgeon'
Fitz smiles at the door and unconsciously runs his fingers across the words. Abby watches him silently and smiles to herself. They were falling, and they were falling fast.
"Well, I will just leave you too it. Nice to meet you Fitz." Abby breaks Fitz's thoughts and he turns to wave goodbye before opening the office door. The scent of vanilla and lavender hits him as soon as he walks in and he can't help but to smile. That's what his Livvie smelt like. He walks along the office looking at the different degrees and accomplishments she has to show, and he couldn't help but to feel some pride build up in his chest. This amazingly smart and beautiful woman chose him.
"You are drooling." A voice pops into his thoughts, causing him to turn and find the source. He was ready to defend his actions to a stranger but instead of a stranger, he is graced by the presence of the one and only Olivia Pope. Dressed in green scrubs, tennis shoes, hair pulled from her face, and a chart in her hand.
"Must be the delicious smell in here." Fitz says trying to come up with a decent come back but falls short. Olivia laughs at his attempt and walks further into her office.
"What's wrong with you Grant?" Fitz laughs and walks to the front of her desk and leans against it.
"I haven't seen you in three days, it must be the excitement." Olivia laughs and shakes her head as she walks behind her desk and takes a seat.
"Not even a hello?" Fitz feigns offense and pushes off her desk to look at her.
"Sorry, I have to work, you are a distraction." Liv says looking into his eyes.
"A distraction? That's what you call your boyfriend?" Fitz asks sliding in the word he has been wanting to say. Liv smiles and is ready to deliver her comeback when she realizes what he just said.
"I'm sorry? Boyfriend?" She slowly stands and makes her way over to Fitz.
"Yes, would you like a definition or do you think you can figure it out all by yourself?" Fitz teases and Olivia places a hand on his chest.
"Quite the dictionary, aren't we?" Olivia delivers back and Fitz smiles.
"Only for you." Fitz whispers as she closes in and kisses him softly. The kiss while soft, has some heat behind it. Each set of lips being reacquainted with the other. Liv finally breaks away and smiles at him with a hum of approval.
"How was your sisters?" Olivia asks as she walks back over to her chair.
"Eventful, to say the least." Fitz shrugs off his jacket and sits in a chair in front of her desk.
"Did you see your mom at all?" Fitz shakes his head.
"My sister, Quite the lawyer, I might say, tried to get me to go see her the whole time I was there." Fitz says as he hits one of the bobble heads on her desk.
"Fitz.."
"I know what you are going to say, but I refuse, until she is away from that bastard. I want no part of him." Fitz replies, his anger evident in his face.
"She needs you." Olivia says despite the emotions displayed across Fitz's face. Fitz stands up and walks to the other side of her office.
"Fitz, I've spent my whole life running from my family. I haven't seen my mom in almost 6 months. I know what it's like to miss your mom, to keep her at arms length, but it get lonely." Olivia says watching Fitz read over a credential of hers.
"You're not alone anymore." Fitz says without turning and Olivia can't stop the smile that forms on her face.
"I guess not. I have a boyfriend now." Fitz turns and looks at her.
"Lucky guy." Olivia smiles and watches as he walks over to her chair.
"I think we should go away for the weekend." Fitz says as he crouches down in front of Olivia's chair.
"Go where?" Olivia asks with a smile.
"Vermont?" Fitz offers and Olivia laughs.
"Why Vermont?"
"Who would find us in Vermont?" Fitz says with a laugh cupping Olivia's face. Olivia takes a moment to study this man. This man she so quickly fell for. This man she would die without.
"I will go to Vermont with you, if you go to Boston with me to visit my mom." Olivia compromises ad Fitz nods.
"I get to meet the mom?"
"And the brothers and sister." Olivia adds.
"Can't wait." Fitz smiles and Olivia leans down to kiss him.

A few weeks later Fitz is standing in Olivia's apartment, with bags at his feet and his watch in is hand.
"Liv! Come on we are going to be late!" Fitz calls putting is watch on his wrist and taking jackets off the coat hanger.
"I'm coming!" Liv calls back and a few beats later she is walking to the door putting on a pair of earrings.
"What we're you doing in there?" Fitz asks helping her put on her jacket. Olivia puts her arms through her jacket and turns to watch Fitz pick up the bags.
"Just, getting a few things." Olivia answers cryptically. Fitz squints his eyes at her vague answer but let's it go.
"So am I going to leant some interesting things about you durning this trip?" Fitz asks in the cab. Olivia turns her head at him and laughs.
"What are you hoping to learn?" Olivia asks him as she leans into him. Fitz wraps an arm around her and kisses her head.
"Something about the missing year in which you won't tell me about." Fitz answers. Olivia immediately stiffens but laughs it off.
"There is no missing year Fitz." Olivia answers and Fitz leaves it alone knowing it will only create distance between them, and he knows they have to be stronger than ever during this trip.
The rest of the ride is silent and when thy are dropped off Fitz stops Olivia and pulls her into his body.
"I trust you." He mumbles against her head. He feels Olivia relax against him and pull him closer. He then places a kiss on her before bending down and picking up their bags.
"Come on, let's go meet some Popes." Olivia laughs at his comment before following him into the airport.
