We can't always get what we want.

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!

Before we go any further with this I just want to thank everyone for their support! And clarify that the reason why Fitz and Liv didn't do anything further is because of their son, Fitz is afraid of whatever might happen to the love of his life and his baby boy if this gets out. Of course it will now that Livs name is out there. As for Olivia, he isn't afraid of many things except losing her son to whatever her father intended to do. Hope this clears why she ran.

I don't own Scandal or season 3 wouldn't be released until October 3rd. Sick joke that's what that is!

Chapter 6:

Charlie had been a very good baby. He had not cried for most of the flight much to Liv's relief. She glanced to her sides to see both Huck and Quinn focused on whatever they were doing. Abby had fallen asleep. Liv sighed. Harrison had decided to stay behind and hold the front of the OPA office since he was now, made partner. This was a big adjustment for everyone. Specially her, she couldn't imagine her life if she wasn't a Fixer. She wasn't just going to settle down and make jam. Not without Fitz anyway.

"Liv?" Huck snapped her out of her thoughts. "Are you okay?"

"I'm not sure" she admitted holding on to her baby. "I don't know how.."

"You'll do fine" Huck gave her a reassuring nod. She tried to believe him. She had to.

Stephen was there to pick them up from the airport. He was utterly surprised when he spotted his old friends.

"You are crazy you know that?" Olivia told him sternly as she broke a hug.

"Who says I was ever sane?" He winked at her. "Now let me look at my godson" he took the baby from her. "Well if he was ugly looking we'd have the job cut out." He joked.

They all said their proper hellos and moved on to Stephens van. A van, instead of a sports car, Olivia figured this was Georgia's.

"How was the flight then?"

"Fine" Abby peaked from the back seat, squeezed between the Other two. "Where's Georgia?"

"At school" Stephen said. "She'll be back At the house in an hour or two. " the rest of the way was quiet. Olivia wanted to call Fitz, tell him they were okay, just hear his voice. As if she was praying, her phone buzzed.

"Miss Pope" Tom's voice echoed. "I assume you just landed? How was your flight?"

"Hi Tom" Olivia smiled. She was sure Fitz was somewhere near. "It was fine thank you, I'm with Stephen now"

"Good, I'm glad, I shall pass that along" Tom smiled on the phone. "I'll call you back once you've settled"

Olivia sighed. She was hoping to hear Fitz's voice. "Okay, thank you Tom"

"Good Evening miss pope"

"Everything okay?" Stephen asked turning to her. She didn't speak. She just listened to Charlie's heartbeat.

Not even Abby could make up a sassy comment.

"The apartment has just been remodeled so you should... Probably have Huck check it out. Baby proof it" Stephen said.

"That's not what I do" Huck said softly. Olivia smiled.

"It's okay Huck, we'll deal with it as we go along okay?" Huck nodded.

"Georgia and I have a surprise for you" Stephen said as he opened the door. On the kitchen counter there was a bottle of a wine " one from my own collection" her friend knew her so well. "There's something else..."

"Stephen..." Liv warned. "You've already done enough" he turned to Abby and Quinn and winked.

"Still." He handed the baby to Huck. "Follow me,"

"Where?" He covered her eyes. "This way" he led her in the dark. She could listen the others footsteps behind her.

"I knew you'd never forgive me if I so much as touched your bedroom so..." She stoped cold. Her sons nursery was already put up and it was beautiful. The walls were olive and blue. A crib, changer, a bookshelf, toys. Olivia felt like crying. How had he done all of this? It all had happened so fast "how.."

"Well I used to work with you" Stephen smiled widely. "I was sure I could handle a nursery, and I had some help" Olivia turned around to face her friends. Quinn was smiling widely as Abby and Huck remained stil.

Maybe, just maybe she could make all of this work.

"Sir?" Tom entered the Oval Office slowly. Fitz's chair was facing the window. "Everything went according to plan". He informed her. "Mr finch said she was speechless, which is a lot" Fitz was smiling, his smile was grim, somewhat tired, And sad.

"Good, thank you" Tom nodded. "Tom, can I ask you something?"

"Of course sir?" He remained still.

"You Think this could work?"

"If there is someone able to control a situation like this, it's Miss Pope and her team, they'd do anything for her" Tom heard a deep sigh. "Sir? May I be bold?" Fitz frowned but nodded. "And I know you would too"

"Olivia!" Georgia hugged her tightly, "I can't believe he didn't wait for me to show you the nursery! Did you like it?"

"It couldn't be more perfect, I don't know how I could ever thank you"

"Well You could let me do some practice with Charlie, since Stephen and I are thinking about having a child soon" Olivia almost chocked. Abby did. Quinn and Huck just seemed weirded out.

"Really?" Abby asked. "Wow I.."

"Yes, is it so hard to believe I could become a parent?"

"Of course..."

"Then shush" he said quickly.

"Oh honey, let her be!" Georgia inquired. "I'm a bit surprised myself"

Olivia was almost asleep when her phone buzzed again. Toms number. It was well passed midnight. She signed.

"Tom...is everything okay?"

"Hi" a deep voice said on the other line.

She took a deep breath. "Hi"
