We can't always get what we want.

Hello! This is my take on the last Oval Office if olitz had a child involved.

Okay I realize this is crazy and maybe I am but I just couldn't get this off my head. I'm still using Charlie as Liv and Fitz's son from my other stories but this is a completely independent one. I do hope you enjoy.

A/N: so in order for this to work Charlie would have been conceived during a deleted scene of "Nobody likes babies" and not closetgate as I had previously stated. Anyways thanks for reading!

I don't own Scandal

Chapter 2:

Sacrifices. Olivia Pope knew the meaning of that word all that well. She also knew what her plan had meant. She had to consider all the variables, including her baby boy who slept soundly in her arms. His soft snores were the only thing heard in the office. Olivia had stayed up late again. She preferred it that way, that way the gladiators wouldn't hear her cry over the sacrifices she had made to give Fitz back his place in history.

"What do you think he's doing right now baby?" Her eyes drifted to the baby's curls. People had to be dumb not to notice her son's resemblance with Fitz. They knew that all too well. She knew that all to well. But a year ago when she had found out about the baby she couldn't bring herself to do anything. This was her chance to have something of Fitz even if she loathed her.

Then she had payed the price. Her baby was the spitting image of the man that hated her. His eyes sparkled the same way his did. His light tanned skin was so smooth and he smelled like powder.

As she made her way home. She phoned Huck to tell him where she was finally out of the office. In the elevator Liv couldn't believe Charlie had not woken up. He was a heavy sleeper for sure. She had seen that first hand a few days back when Fitz had spent the night there.


That was the night when she felt the strongest she had ever felt. She felt complete because he had chosen her. He had earned her. This made Olivia smile. She remembered right after that shower they had taken, Charlie had made his first call for attention of the night and Fitz had told her he would get him. She smiled sealing it with a kiss. Olivia watched as Fitz wrapped a towel around his waist and went to check on the baby.

"He's probably just hungry!" Liv said before collapsing on the bed. Fitz came back to the room a moment later. Olivia had to catch her breath because he looked too damn good holding their baby. Plus he was practically naked. "Here" he said siting on the bed carefully. Olivia felt a bit ashamed. "What? He's still breast fed isn't he?" She blushed.

"Yeah..." She took the baby from him. "It's just..."

"Feeling shy Liv?" He teased sweetly placing a loose hair behind her ear. "You do know that that's nothing I haven't seen before?" He smirked.

"Shut up!" She hissed hitting his arm.

She didn't know what it was but, there was something incredibly fascinating about the way he would watch her feed Charlie, as she did he traced small circles along her arm and back with his fingers. "Fitz?" He looked up at her.

"Look at you..you are beautiful Livvie" she blushed.

Once Charlie was done they laid in bed together with the baby between them.

"I was afraid, you know.. About the whole thing when I found out. I almost.."

"Liv..."

"A lot of things had happened and I.. You hated me and I was all alone."

"Olivia" he spoke softly. "Don't do this please. Today is a day to celebrate that we are together. We love each other and that's the only thing that matters"

And so she hadn't said anything.


Now she had walked away from him once more. To keep him safe. To keep Fitz and their baby safe. As she turned the key of her apartment she balanced her baby and purse. The place was dark. But Liv suddenly felt a shiver down her spine. She wasn't alone.

"Hello Olivia" she froze. She'd recognize that voice anywhere.

"Dad?" She turned on the light. Rowan stood there with a cryptic smile on. "What..?"

"Why must you insist on working so late? Think of your son, I mean he is young now and he doesn't know but..."

"What are you doing here?" Olivia asked dryly tightening her grip on Charlie's small body.

"Can't a father visit his daughter?"

"What do you want?" She stepped closer but cautious.

"You and that boy's father. It's wrong Olivia, I never thought you were capable to sell yourself like a piece of meat for him to.."

"What do you want?!" Olivia roared. Charlie started sobbing.

"I want you to get out!" She hissed. "You can't just come to my home and insult me!"

"I didn't do such thing" Rowan said calmly. "I'm here as a courtesy because you are my daughter. End things or it will get ugly"

And with that he bowed down and walked out. Olivia couldn't listen to Charlie's desperate cries. She only heard her heart racing.

"Shh..." Olivia rocked the baby slowly holding him close to her chest.

There had been few times in her life that Olivia had been scared. One was when she almost lost Fitz to 3 bullets to the head. The other one had been the day of Verna's funeral when the love of her life had walked out of her life.

The day she found out she was pregnant and the day her child had been born were close in a tie.

Now. It this precise moment. When she didn't know what to do.

I guess Cy was right. All roads led to Fitz. And they were very dangerous ones to cross.

Her mind wasn't working right now. It was her heart. She didn't want to call Huck because he was...well Huck. And he would go on against Rowan and he would loose. She couldn't afford Huck having another fail. He was already too fragile.

There was someone else Olivia trusted completely.

"Tom...It's Olivia Pope. I'm sorry for this... At this hour but I need your help."
