Chapter Fourteen
A week after the security team was on the job for Olivia and Fitz and she was about to go crazy. Olivia picked up her phone and called Fitz at the office.
"Hello wife"
"Fitz, I can't take this anymore. I have to get out of this house. We have security, I need to go walk around and shop or go to dinner. I am losing my mind."
Fitz could hear the frustration in her voice. "Okay baby. Let me talk to Tom."
Olivia handed Tom the phone. "Yes sir?"
"Tom, you do not need to call me sir. Well I know you heard my wife's conversation and that she is going a little stir crazy."
"Yes sir I did and I do. What do you have in mind?"
Fitz was standing in his office looking out the window running his hands through his hair. "How about you take her with another guard out to shop and then we meet for dinner. I will make the reservations for dinner and text or call with the information."
Tom was nodding his head and agreeing with what Fitz was telling him and then handed Olivia back the phone.
"Fitz, please let me get out of this house. I am a grown woman and I can't stay here twenty four seven."
"Liv, your protection is what matters the most." He heard her sigh "However, I have instructed Tom to take you and do a little shopping and then I will meet you for dinner. I am going to send Abby over so she can go with you. She should be done in court by now. I love you and I will see you for dinner."
"Babe, thank you so much. I will do what Tom says. I love you and dinner needs to be around six so I am not starving these three and myself." Olivia laughed.
Fitz took in a deep breath, "Liv, please look around everywhere you go. Listen to Tom and if you start to get tired you find somewhere to sit and relax."
"Yes sir." Olivia smiled and looked over to Tom saluting.
Olivia had been shopping about an hour when Abby met up with her.
"Olivia, what are you in there trying on?" Abby moved the curtain back a little to look at her.
"I wanted to find a cute dress to meet Fitz for dinner in and I just don't feel sexy in anything I put on."
Abby opened the curtain all the way open. "Liv, that looks amazing. Your boobs have never looked better and that teal color is beautiful. Liv, look at me. You look more sexy and beautiful to Fitz than you ever have. You need to believe that. Now, I want you to put your clothes back on and lets go get some shoes to match."
Olivia laughed. "Thank you Abby."
They made it to the shoe store and Olivia found a heel that actually fit her feet that didn't hurt her. "Abby, you do not need six new pairs of shoes and that black pair you already own." The two of them broke out laughing.
"I know Liv, I am obsessed. You have baby stuff to buy, I have shoes."
"Well, figure out which ones you are getting so we can go to that cute baby store and then I need to go buy a bigger size in my yoga pants. That is what I am now wearing around the house all the time with one of Fitz's tee shirts." Olivia said grabbing her purse.
They were in the baby store picking out different things for each baby.
"Olivia, stop buying stuff or there will be nothing for us to buy you for your shower."
Olivia looked at Abby, "Okay, I will stop. I just get so excited. We came up with one of the boys names. Bentley Thomas Grant. How do you like that?"
"I love it Liv. What about the other two?"
" Well, I wanted the girl to be named Bayle and spelled B.A.Y.L.E but Fitz said we had to put two E's on the end or people would misspell her name for the rest of her life. I agreed so that is her name, no middle name yet and then the other baby boy will be Braxton, no middle name for him yet either."
"You better be coming up with some middle names Liv before those babies get here. What do you have left?" Abby asked sitting in a beautiful pink rocker.
"I have about 12 weeks left but Dr. Lee said I will probably be on bed rest the last four to try and get as close to my 40 weeks so the babies will be as developed as they can get." Olivia let out a sigh. "Oh my, you are right, I need to get on the ball about a lot of things."
Just as Olivia was paying for the few items she did get Fitz called.
"Hello husband, I am off the ledge so no need to check on me. Tom is right beside me." Olivia smiled up at Tom.
Fitz laughed over the phone. "Well, I made reservations for dinner at Philips, see you at 6. and Liv, don't buy the whole store. I love you."
Olivia hung up laughing at his remark. "One more stop and I have to get to dinner with my man."
Abby rolled her eyes, "I need to head out now anyway. Call me in the morning so we can get your baby shower together."
"Okay, will do." Olivia gave Abby a hug and handed Tom her bags.
Olivia walked into Philips with Tom by her side trying to find Fitz. Just as she was asking Tom she heard Fitz come up behind her.
"Hello Beautiful." Fitz kissed her on the cheek.
Olivia turned to give him a hug and return the kiss. "Hey honey. I am starving. I hope they are ready to seat us."
"They are, we were just waiting for you to get here to get us a table." Fitz said then looking at Tom. "Your table is a few a way from us but I figured from going around with my wife today you would be starving too."
They sat and ordered. Olivia ordered more than Fitz and all he did was laugh.
"Listen when you are carrying three babies and they drain all the energy you have, you can laugh at my food choices."
"Liv, I am just laughing with you not at you. I love that you are eating and hopefully gaining some weight so Dr. Lee doesn't fuss at us at the next appointment."
As they ate Olivia was making noises when she tasted something she really loved and Fitz just watched her as she closed her eyes and took bite after bite.
"Um, Olivia. I love the noises you are making but babe they are sounding a little familiar and I may have to go to the bathroom with you soon if you don't' stop."
Olivia opened her eyes and looked at him. "Is sex all you think about?"
"No, but when you are moaning over there when you take a bite I can't help it."
"Fitz, grow up. I am hungry and this is fantastic." Olivia said putting another bite in her mouth.
Fitz just looked at her because of the harshness in her voice then picked up his fork and didn't say another word.
After dinner they were leaving and Fitz asked Tom to take Olivia home that he was going to the office to pick up some files he left. He walked in the opposite direction they were in and Olivia stood there wondering why he didn't kiss her goodbye.
When she got in the car she sent him a quick message.
OP: Hey, you alright, you didn't even kiss me? You just walked away not even looking back.
Fitz heard his phone and knew it could only be here this late.
Fitz: Well, I figured since you didn't like my playing around with you at the table about the noise you were making that you were not in the mood for any of that. What was it you said, I need to grow up.
Olivia read his response and thought back to what she said.
OP: Oh, Fitz. I hurt your feelings. I am sorry. Sometimes I just don't want to hear that. I feel huge and just wanted to eat dinner and have good conversation with my husband. Talk about our days and the nursery plans. I am truly sorry.
Fitz: Its fine Liv. I am working late so I will see you at home later. Don't wait up.
Olivia couldn't believe he was working so late that he didn't want her to wait up.
OP: Honey, please come home. I am sorry. I will make it up to you. Tom should be getting off. I am not asking him to stay longer than he is suppose to.
Fitz: I will ask him to stay until I get home. I will get there before midnight so he can go home.
Olivia knew she should stop so she just told Tom to take her on to the house and Fitz would be calling him in a moment and as she was saying the words Tom's phone rang.
"Mrs. Grant, I am going to stay with you until Mr. Grant returns from work."
She just smiled and nodded her head. As they got to the house and she made her way in the foyer it was lined with flowers and she immediately started to cry. Walking further in the house flowers were everywhere. All of her favorite flowers and in the middle of the family room a blanket laid out with some sparkling grape juice chilling.
"Tom, who did this?"
Tom looked at her and handed her some tissue. "Mr. Grant ma'am. While we took you shopping he set this up. He wanted to surprise you. I am sorry ma'am, I wasn't suppose to say anything. The masseuse should be here in about fifteen minutes. She is a friend of mine that gives massages to pregnant women."
At that moment Olivia just dropped down on the chair and cried uncontrollably. She couldn't believe that one moment of her just being stupid when he had planned this for her made her feel like a terrible person.
"Tom, would you please call her and cancel but make sure she knows she will be paid. In fact, have her come here and I will write her a check. I messed up didn't I Tom?"
"Mrs. Grant, I know that man loves you more than anything. Everything will be okay. Please excuse me while I make that call." Tom walked into the next room while Olivia just kept crying.
Olivia thanked the masseuse and said that she would be in touch for a future massage. "Tom, I am going to head on up to bed. Have a good night. Help yourself to anything in the kitchen and watch some TV if you would like to."
"Thank you ma'am, good night."
Olivia got to their bedroom and there were even more flowers and a present sitting on the bed. She made her way to the bed and picked up the card.
-To the most beautiful woman in the world. Everyday I thank God I found you.
Olivia just broke down crying again and moved the present to the chair with the card. She didn't want to know what it was. She got on her pajama bottoms and of course one of his tee shirts and crawled into bed when she finished cleaning her face.
It was close to midnight when she heard the door open, she had been tossing and turning the whole time.
Fitz walked into the living room. "Thank you Tom for staying."
"you are welcome sir. Sir, if I may say something and if it is over stepping please tell me but sir, she broke down crying and I have heard her up and down since we got home. It is none of my business but sir, she is pregnant and their moods change from one thing to the next. Also, sir, she doesn't need the stress of her hurting you on her. I am sorry, just thought I needed to tell you."
Fitz face fell and he thanked Tom and locked up once he left. He hadn't even thought about it stressing her out the harshness in his tone and the quick text messages. He began walking up the stairs and opened the door he looked to the bed and saw her turned to the wall away from the bathroom. He stepped quietly not wanting to wake her if she was asleep to get his pajama pants and into the bathroom.
Olivia was crying again by the time she heard the door shut to the bathroom. She just kept thinking how much she hurt his feelings. The babies were kicking like crazy and she just kept rubbing her stomach. When they settled down she was lying there looking at the wall and wiping tears as the fell.
Fitz came out of the bathroom a few minutes later and crawled into bed and turned off the lamp. They were as far apart on the bed as they could get, both facing the opposite walls and then Fitz heard her sniffle and his heart broke. Then he felt the bed move and she was walking around to go to the door to leave the bedroom.
Fitz jumped up and ran behind her. "Liv, wait." He put his hands on her shoulders and turned her around and when he saw her red swollen eyes it made him feel bad. "Stop crying. I love you, now stop with the tears."
Olivia didn't look at him and just said she was sorry and turned around to go back downstairs to the kitchen. Fitz followed behind her.
"Fitz, I feel terrible and I don't want to fight. I am tired and can't go to sleep so go back to bed. I just need some milk and to sit for a minute to get comfortable."
"Liv, I don't want to fight either. I am sorry I was so harsh to you. I just let something hit me wrong and I shouldn't have. Let me fix you the milk. Go ahead and sit down, do you need anything else?"
Olivia sat and just shook her head no. She was rubbing her stomach again when he came back into the room.
"Here you go."
"'Thank you." Olivia still didn't look at him just his hand as she grabbed the glass.
Fitz moved her feet off the ottoman and sat down and put them in his lap. "Liv, look at me please."
Olivia lifted her head and looked at Fitz. "Before you say anything else Fitz I just want to say again I am sorry and that I shouldn't have snapped at you. Sometimes I just get frustrated and can't control it. But that being said, I should not have been treated that way by you. Yes, I said something that bothered you but I would have not dismissed you like that. Thank you for trying to surprise me with the massage and all these beautiful flowers. The next time we have a fight or disagreement we figure it out because there will be more Fitz and I am not going to cry myself to sleep when you get your feelings hurt."
Fitz moved her feet down and got on his knees in between her legs with his hands on her thighs. He looked up at her. "I am sorry I dismissed you and it will not happen again." Fitz put his head on her stomach after kissing her belly.
Olivia took a deep breath, put her glass down and then placed her hands in his hair. "I forgive you. Do you forgive me?"
Fitz looked up and smiled. "Already forgiven and forgotten baby."
"Good, I am exhausted and need to go to sleep." Olivia moved to get up and Fitz helped her and held her hand until they got to their bedroom.
"Liv, did you open your present?"
"No, I couldn't, not being mad and not without you being here."
Fitz got up to go get it and brought it back to the bed. "Open it."
Olivia took it out of his hands and opened the present. She started crying again when she saw the three baby books with the babies names etched on the front. "Fitz, this is beautiful. Thank you so much."
"You are welcome babe. I put the ultrasound picture in the front of each."
Olivia moved them to the table and kissed him. "I love you so much."
Fitz leaned back and pulled her with him and wrapped his arms around her as she placed her head on his chest. "I love you too. Let's go to sleep"
"Baby, we still need to figure out Baylee's middle name and Braxton's. In the morning we are going to do that before work."
Fitz smiled and told her okay. They drifted off to sleep both dreaming of their wonderful life together. The fights happen, the heartache happens but the love they share will never be broken.
