Hey everyone thanks for the awesome comments …. Sorry I haven't been able to update sooner but who would have thought if you go to one of the best high schools in the country that you would have lots of work. So I decided to take some time before Scandal Thursday to update this story! . Now I'm not sure if Olivia will stay at the Whitehouse or start OPA but right now I'm leaning towards Whitehouse. Okay here's a supper fluffy chapter for y'all hope you like.

1 day later:

It was the day of the inauguration and it had gone off without a hitch. Fitz and Mellie had looked perfect the press had loved them … even their kids acted happy even though Olivia could tell they were annoyed about having to leave California. After that it was a matter of hours before the inaugural ball. Everyone was going well everyone but her and James. Olivia had seen James and Cyrus fighting about it. Oliva had jessed for a long time that Cyrus was gay, and when he was around James he seemed so happy , but clearly he was blowing it. Olivia had decided not to go to the Ball because it was kind of like a slap in the face seeing Mellie and Fitz together, although she would have to get used to it. Anyway she really wasn't in the mood for some big party and she had lots of work still to do. It was almost 9 and she was trying to get her stupid copier to work. After 10 minutes of failed attempts she decided to go find a working one somewhere else.

She roamed the empty halls peeking into offices trying to find a copier. As she walked down a long corridor her heels clicking against the marble she saw him sitting on the sofa in his office staring at an Ipad . She glanced at the document and figured it could wait. She walked up to the open door and knocked quietly

"Hey" he said looking up

"Hey … I didn't realize you didn't go … I thought was they only one"

"Really? You thought I would go to a party thrown by the same people who threw all those other awful party's? You don't know me at all" he teased

"Sorry! I guess I just assumed you would go to the inaugural ball"

"You didn't …" he pointed out

"That's true …. But I hate dancing so what's your excuse" she asked

"Oh my excuse well you're looking at it" he said pointing to the papers everywhere

"Seriously! Your excuse is work?"

"Yeah …. It was the only excuse Sally would accept" He explained

"Why do you care so much … I mean about what Sally thinks" She asked siting on the edge of the sofa

"I don't know I guess it's just like I'm not really qualified so I feel like if have to over compensate" he explained

"Not Qualified? You're not serious … you almost beat us in the election"

"Literally all I did was just send some people to follow Mellie around to try and frame her for an affair"

"True … I guess you're kind of a failure after all" she teased

"You're so mean!" he said playfully hitting her with a pillow

"I try" she said with a smirk

"You think she did it?" he asked

"Did what?" Olivia asked

"Had the affair? I mean I know it's just pictures but you've seen them together they hate each other"

"It's certainly possible but I would hope not considering the new news"

"What new news?" he asked

"Oh my god you didn't know … there expecting a baby?"

"You're lying….."

"Am not!"

"Yes you are I mean they hate each other like HATE each other"

"Yeah well clearly that didn't stop them … and it is true were announcing it tomorrow"

" So Seriously I'm like mind blown"

"Exactly! When they told me I was like freaking out but like Fitz and Mellie were right in front of me and I couldn't be like what the fuck why are you having a baby you hate each other" Olivia said

"Oh my god…. I can't believe it …. God help that baby I mean my parents hate each other but they are another level"

"Preech"

The next day Olivia was sitting in her office when an aide informed her that Cyrus needed her in his office. She walked down the halls … everyone was buzzing from Mellie and Fitz's big announcement this morning. She entered Cyrus office smiling at his secretary. As she entered the office she saw Billy was their but Cyrus wasn't.

"Hey …. Any clue why we're here?" he asked

"If I could tell you I would" she said as the door opened and Cyrus entered

"Good your both here….. Here you go" He said handing them each huge envelopes filled with papers and DVD's

"You called us here to get your mail?" Billy asked

"It's not mail … its different state of the unions which you have to go over to help make ours next month the best one ever" Cyrus explained

"You seriously want us to look through 200 years of State of the unions?" Billy asked

"Yes by tomorrow they need to be done" Cyrus commanded

"Seriously…. Why don't you just have the interns do it" Olivia asked

"Because their idiots I don't trust" he admitted

"Wow I can tell you're a great boss" Billy said rolling his eyes

"Do it by tomorrow or I tell your nun of a boss that you're a non-church-going liar" Cyrus threatened

"Seriously you're blackmailing me?" Billy asked

"If you don't agree then yes I'm blackmailing you"

"Fine I'll do it … "

"Good boy … what about you Liv?"

"I think enough wine can make even this bearable so sure"

"Good … Have fun" Cyrus said as he got up and left

"Thanks for covering for me" he said

"No problem, why don't you come over to my place tonight and we can just bang these out"

"Sounds like a plan"

XXXX

Later that day:

Olivia was sitting in her apartment when the doorbell rang. She quickly glanced through the peep hole and then opened it.

"I'm here and I brought wine" he said handing her a bottle

"You did …. Really fancy wine"

"Oh yeah well I figured tonight was going to be endless pain of speeches and speeches and more speeches"

"Oh boy this is going to be fun" she said inviting him in

"Wow nice Kitchen … you cook?" he asked

"Besides microwaving popcorn not at all… what about you?" she asked

" Oh I don't cook either … I guess nobody ever taught me …. Like I wanted food I would ask the chef or send the driver out to get me something but I never made it myself"

"The driver?" Olivia asked quizzically

"Oh yeah Todd just like drove us places and stuff cause one of the house keepers couldn't drive"

"One of the house keepers… how many were their?" she asked

"There were just two"

"Oh just two wow… what about other people?"

"Well there was just the two housekeepers, the two nanny's , the driver , the chef , the groundskeeper, the stable boys , two maids , my dad's security and my mother's personal assistant so just like …15 ish people"

"15 People! What is this Downton Abby? Why do you need two maids' two nannies and two housekeepers?"

"I don't know it just worked that way"

"Well now I know why you dress like you just stole a Ralph Lauren store"

"Wow burn …. So … have you seen what Cyrus gave us?"

"No not yet …. Did you?"

"Oh yes … how he got a copy of James Madison's 3rd State of the union still blows my mind" he said pulling a piece of paper from the folder

"Oh my god seriously let me see" She said grabbing it from his hand

"Oh oh be careful! I'm pretty sure that's are original he swiped from the national archives"

"You can't be serious!"

"Oh yeah well it's written in Quill pen so it seems pretty legit"

"Wow Cyrus breaking the rules …. Then again wasn't Cyrus the name of the evil guy in the bible, so I guess it's to be expected"

"I think you're thinking of Lazarus"

"Oh wow you do know something … I guess you're not a complete fraud "

"Wow thanks for the support

XXXX

About 5 hours later :

"Okay up next do we want to read about reconstruction or communism" he said dangling two storied in front of her

"Oh god Kill me now" she groaned grabbing the communism speech

XXXX

The next day:

It wasn't until midnight when they finally finished and now they were both exhausted and looked like crap.

"What happened to you two?" Mellie asked as they entered a meeting

"Oh well a certain slave driver forced us to go through 200 years of speeches even all the way back to James Madison" Billy said

"Oh at least that one was good … do you remember Hover's speech it was literally the worst thing in the world"

"Well they were in the great depression though" Billy pointed out

"Well that speech certainly didn't help!"

"If you guys didn't want to do it why didn't you just tell him no?" Mellie asked

"Yeah why didn't we?" Olivia asked

"I think we had a reason nut I'm so tired I forgot"

XXXX

Later that day:

Mellie walked down the hallway where she ran into Cyrus

"Hey Cyrus … I wanted to ask you something" Mellie said

"Yes" he asked impatiently

"Why did you make Olivia and Billy read those speeches? Why didn't you have an aide do it?

"Because I know they like each other but there too shy to ask each other out so I did it for them" he admitted

"You set them up?" Mellie asked

"I set them up"
