The rest of the night and the morning...
The rest of the night, they sat across the fireplace. His back was to the sofa, and she was sitting right in front of him, her back to his chest.
His hands lingered on her belly...
"Thank you, Livvie" he said. "This is a dream coming true... Being with you, having a child with you... A life you and I created together... Thank you... This is the most amazing gift I've ever received."
She turned her face to him and softly kissed his lips. "You taught me how to love. You made me learn that love is a strength. And this baby... It is a gift we gave each other, Fitz." she said.
They were silent for a few minutes and then she spoke again. "I have to admit I am scared. I don't know if I have what it takes to be a mother. I mean... What do I know about being a mother? What if I mess it up? I have no idea what to do with a baby. What if we all end up miserable?"
He turned her to face him.
"Livvie... Do you love this baby?" he asked, with his left palm on her belly.
"I do." said Olivia, bringing her hand on top of his.
"Do you love me?" he asked, caressing her cheek with his right hand.
"I do." said Olivia, bringing her other hand to his cheek.
"Do you want us to be happy?" he asked, taking her face in between his palms.
"I do." said Olivia.
"Then everything will be alright, Livvie. We will be great. Everyone is scared, Liv. No one knows what to do. No one is ever really ready to have a baby." he said looking at her eyes.
He pulled her onto his lap and cradled her in his arms. "And you have me. It is not like you are alone in this. We will figure it out together. All you have to do is to trust US and to talk to me when you are scared. We are going to be great, sweet baby." he said. And then he let out a soft chuckle, and whispered:
"My sweet babies..."
They just sat there with Olivia in Fitz's arms, talking, feeling each other's presence, being in the moment for another hour. "Let's go to our room." Fitz said.
Olivia stood up and Fitz followed. "Hey Liv" Fitz said, making her stop and look at him. He quickly pulled her in for a kiss. Olivia gasped with surprise and started giggling. She was so in love with him...
Fitz woke up before her in the morning. Truth be told, he didn't really sleep that night. He kept waking up and touching Liv's belly, grinning like an idiot. He must have kissed her lips, her hands, her belly hundreds of times that night.
She woke up when he lightly kissed her belly and whispered "good morning baby", but she didn't open her eyes.
"I love you little one. I promise to always love you and be there for you." After a moment of pause, he continued. "We both love you. Your mom might freak out a little bit sometimes, but it's not you... It's not because she doesn't love you. I know her, she already loves you more than anything. Hey, by the way, you have to remember, I'll fight you for her love. I found her so late, it took so long to finally have her to myself. I'm not about to hand her over to you." he chuckled.
"Joke aside, little one. She wasn't raised with too much love, so we have to make sure she will always feel loved. We will love her so much that it will make up for the past. You know... I've loved her since I saw her. It's ridiculous actually. It was just a look at her eyes, hear her utter a couple sentences, and I was in love. And I mean "love", I knew I was in big trouble - I knew that she was the love of my life, that I would never be able to let her go. It is rare, that kind of love, and I hope you find it one day. I sure hope you don't suffer like we did, but a love like this, is the only one worth having."
Tears escaped her closed eyes. She moved her hand to his curls and softly caressed his hair. He turned to look at her and instantly moved to lie right next to her. Their faces were level with each other now.
"You make me so, so happy, Liv." He said, wiping her tears, kissing her gently on the lips and holding her face in between his palms.
"Thank you for loving me, for never letting me go, for never giving up on us. All this is thanks to you. I will spend all my life trying to thank you." Olivia whispered.
She was so beautiful. Her beautiful brown eyes were full of tears - but not sad tears. They were tears of happiness. Her eyes were full of love and devotion. Her hair was wavy and messy around her gorgeous face. Her lips were beautiful, plump, and rosy. He knew he would never get tired of seeing her first thing in the morning for the rest of his life. He softly kissed the tip of her nose.
"Just love me. Stay with me. Never leave me ever again. That's all I need Olivia. It is ALL I need." he said and pressed his lips to hers.
When they finally broke off the kiss to breathe, Olivia said "I will never leave you, Fitz. I can't ever do that again. I wouldn't survive. You are stuck with me, Mr President.", and she chuckled.
"Oh, Livvie... Being stuck with you is what I wished for every single day ever since I laid eyes on you."
