So...I am not sure how I feel about that finale but I am leaving it in Shonda's hands, she always has something good coming for us all.
I do not own Scandal or its characters because if I did...it would be OLITZ...all the time.
Here is the next chapter.
Chapter Seventeen
"Hi Abby...we are doing pretty good. Home now for two weeks, I am exhausted but Fitz wakes up with them at night to feed them with the milk I have pumped so I get usually six hours of good sleep but during the day I can't rest. I am doing laundry or cleaning bottles or interviewing for help." Olivia said as she was folding clothes while the babies were sleeping.
"I thought you were not getting help yet for the babies since Fitz is only working a couple of days a week."
"This help is not for nannies, this is a housekeeper. I can't keep up and I don't want any help with my three little Grants just yet. I am tired and emotional all the time but I am so in love with them I don't want to miss anything."
Abby pulled into the driveway, "Well, come open the door, I have brought lunch and just pulled up."
Olivia hung up the phone and moved to the door quickly "You have no idea how much I love you right now. This is a nice surprise."
"Well, I knew Fitz was staying at the office and I was done in court early so I wanted to come see those beauties and my best friend." Abby said hugging Olivia.
After eating and helping Olivia feed the babies they sat on the couch catching up. "So, how is Fitz doing with all of this and working...and no sex."
Olivia laughed, "well, he is great with the babies, he changes them and helps so much when he is here. He is a great Dad already. As for dealing with the sex, poor thing was having a dream last night and woke me up moaning my name. I felt so bad for him. Let's just say, every couple of days his showers are a little longer."
They both laughed as Fitz walked in. "What is so funny you two?'
"Hey babe, nothing. Just laughing about what the body goes through after having babies." Olivia looked at Abby smiling.
"mmmmmhhmmm. I am going to go look in on my children you little liar."
Olivia looked at him and smiled. Once he was out of the room the two of them busted out laughing again. Abby said her goodbyes as Olivia starting making Fitz some dinner.
"Liv, why does one of my boys have pink polish on his toe." Fitz said walking into the kitchen.
'Olivia looked at him "I am a terrible mother and called Bentley Braxton earlier in a rush so this helps me. They look so much alike when they have their clothes on. Until I see their little personalities come out it is hard for me to tell them apart. I am so ashamed I am having to admit this."
"How did you know it was Bentley and not Braxton?"
"Fitzgerald! They have different birth marks. Bentley has a little spot on his left foot and Braxton has it on his left hand." Olivia said poking him in his side.
"I know love, just testing you. So tell me, what were you and Abby laughing at so hard before I came in and after I left the room?" Fitz bent down to kiss her.
"Girl talk baby, that's all."
"Alright, you don't want to tell me...fine. What is for dinner?"
Olivia rubbed her hand on his cheek "You were having a dream last night in your sleep and moaning my name."
"Liv, and you told her that."
"Girl talk, remember baby."
"Well, no wonder I did. You came out of the shower once I put the babies down naked, walking across the room to get you pajamas." Fitz said looking at her.
"Thank you, I know the body is not the same but I am trying so thank you."
Fitz grabbed her by her elbow and pulled her to him. "You are beautiful anyway you look. I will say, the new boobs are amazing." He kissed her neck.
"you do know they are not going to stay like this right?"
"Yes, and I love the originals too." He moved his hand down her side and then popped her butt.
"Don't start that, we can't do anything for a while so no touching."
Fitz laughed. "no touching. Can I still kiss you here?" Fits said as he placed a kiss right under her earlobe that drove her crazy and he knew it.
"You can, but that is all. No more. It is hard for me too you know. You are not so bad looking yourself."
They were interrupted by the sound of one of the babies on the monitor crying.
"I will go and see what the fuss is about." Fitz said as he moved to the stairs.
They were in bed after getting the babies down for the night and started talking about hiring help and when Olivia would go back to work and at what pace.
"Liv, you know if you don't want to work you don't have to. I am not saying that to make you stay home and that I want you to, I just want you to know you have that option."
Olivia looked at him and smiled "I love that you said that. Right now, I want to stay home. However, in three months I might feel differently. I still want to hire someone to help with the house but not with the three little Grants."
"I am okay with that. Let me ask you this...how do you feel about dealing with the finances. I know that we have kept things separate but with the kids here and you not going into work for right now I think you should look at everything and lets set up trust funds for the kids and get things in better order now that we have those three with more to come."
"Fitz, you know that I didn't marry or have your children for the Grant money but that being said I do want our children to have an easy life when thinking about colleges or whatever their heart desires. But no one has said anything about more to come. I think three is plenty." Olivia laughed at the look on his face.
Fitz realized that she was just kidding and smiled "well, we made such good looking kids that I think we should have at least a football team."
"Um babe, I am not giving you a football team but I may give you one more in a few years. I want to enjoy these moments with those three in there and not miss anything. Deal?"
"Deal...now since I can't have sex with my wife for a little longer can we at least make out some?"
Olivia laughed and pulled him to her and started kissing him softly. For the next hour they kissed and laughed with each other and then fell asleep until the three little Grants woke up screaming.
"I got them honey, you have work in the morning." Olivia said as she got out of bed.
Olivia went into the nursery to find all three crying. "Little ones, are you hungry? You need mommy to feed and change those wet butts?" Fitz was listening to her through the monitor and smiled.
"hey, let me help, I can change and feed one. Who is getting the bottle this round?"
"Little miss grumpy over there, the boys were both feed earlier today. Babe grab the milk in the front, I put the ones I pumped today in the back." Olivia said sitting down getting in the rocker to nurse the two boys.
"I know Livvie, you tell me that every time honey. I will be right back."
Fitz came back in the room with bottle in one hand and Baylee in the other and sat across from Olivia who had both boys nursing. He looked down at his daughter and then over at Olivia with his two sons and smiled.
"What are you smiling about?" Olivia asked.
"Liv, I don't think I could love you more or this moment anymore. You feeding our sons and me giving this princess her bottle. It is just a special moment and I don't want to forget it ever. They are going to keep growing and changing and it is just that I don't think life gets better than this baby."
Olivia didn't even know she was crying until Fitz said he loved seeing her happy tears.
They got the babies back down and made their way to their bedroom and got into bed.
"Liv, Mother's Day is around the corner. Is there anything you are wanting or needing?" Fitz asked pulling her into his arms.
"I want you to surprise me. I don't want anything and I definitely don't need anything so just surprise me. Mr. Grant, kiss me goodnight so we can get some sleep before those three wake up again." They kissed each other and soon drifted off to sleep.
It is Saturday night and Fitz and Olivia are sitting in the family room while all three of the little grants sat in their bouncy seats looking around. Olivia was laying on Fitz until he moved to get up.
"Where are you going? I was so comfortable." Liv said pouting.
"Hold on, I need to go get something." Fitz left and ran up the stairs and came back holding a small package. "So, tomorrow is Mother's Day and I wanted to give you your first gift. This one is from Braxton."
Olivia smiled "Really now, why tonight since tomorrow is actually Mother's Day?"
"I think it is fine to give to you tonight, the kids don't know it is tomorrow." Fitz laughed.
Olivia started to tear the package apart and she found a beautiful watch. "Fitz, this is so pretty."
"Turn it over."'
Tears were coming down her face.
"Fitz, thank you. You are an amazing man. Braxton, you gave mommy a watch that says 'thanks for bringing love to my life. again' I think daddy is so sweet."
Fitz smiled at her, "It was all him." He reached into his pocket and pulled out another small box. "This one is from Baylee."
Just like the first one she tears it open and smiles again. This time it is a ring that has her birthstone, then the babies and then Fitz's. "Oh, honey." then she is crying again once she reads the inscription 'Our love is forever'
Fitz gets up one more time and hands her a rather big box. "And this one is from the princess, she knew mommy needed this."
Olivia started to open the box and move the tissue away and there was an envelope sitting in the middle taped to the bottom.
"You fooled me, had heavy stuff in the box and there is an envelope." Olivia said pushing on his arm. She opened the envelope. "Fitz, we are going to Hawaii? How, when, oh my goodness. Thank you." Kissing him as she held onto the envelope.
"Yes, we are all going. Abby and everyone because I know there is no way we can be away from these three and as soon as you are cleared I have a private jet taking us all to Hawaii."
Olivia turned to the three babies and just started talking to them about going to Hawaii and they started moving their hands and feet like they knew what she was saying.
"I think we should get these three bathed and fed so mommy can lay back on daddy and watch some romantic movie."
"You do not want to watch a romantic movie Fitz. You will be asleep in no time." Olivia said grabbing Baylee.
"I will, this is your first Mother's Day weekend and I am going to do things that you love. Watching one of those stupid girly movies is something you love to do. I will get the two boys and help with the baths."
"Thank you baby. You are the best."
After the three were bathed, fed and put in the nursery Olivia made her way back to the family room and found candles lit and her a glass of grape juice sitting on the table.
"Do you want tear jerking romantic or funny romantic?" Fitz said holding up two choices.
"Funny romantic."
"Okay, Peeples it is then." Fitz started the movie and opened him a beer and pulled her to him. They were both asleep in twenty minutes.
The next morning Olivia woke up in a panic because she realized she hadn't been up all night and didn't feed the babies in the middle of the night like normal.
"Fitz...Fitz...FITZ!"
Fitz came running in the room "What..whats wrong?"
"Where are my children? I didn't feed them last night. My breast are about to explode. Did they sleep through the night?'
"Liv, you scared the shit out of me, don't holler at me like that again unless something is wrong. No, the kids woke up around 4 and I fed all of them and changed them...all by myself. It's Mother's Day so you get pampered."
"Sorry I scared you but as a Mother I want to see my babies."
"They are in the kitchen in their bouncy things and breakfast is almost done."
"I get breakfast too. Wow. Am I going to be able to eat said breakfast?"
Fitz laughed, "Smart ass but yes, you can eat said breakfast."
They made their way down to the kitchen and Olivia sat down at the table and saw another gift sitting there.
"What is this? I thought I got all three of the gifts last night from the kids."
Fitz walked to the table, leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips. "This one is from Daddy."
Olivia opened the box and there was this beautiful necklace that had three diamonds dangling from it.
"This is beautiful honey. Thank you." Olivia reached up to peck him on his lips.
"I will get you a diamond for every child we have, for every special occasion and then when it is full, we will have them welded together in an even more beautiful necklace."
"I will say it again, you are the most amazing man I have ever met. I love you."
"I love you more."
The rest of the day was all about Olivia and pampering her. When the kids had settled down for the night and they were laying in the bed Olivia's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hello to the most beautiful mother and woman in the world. I am sorry I missed our first Mother's Day together but I will not miss anymore."
Olivia hung up the phone and looked at Fitz who could tell something was wrong.
"That was Jake, Fitz we have got to do something about him, he is not stable and I am starting to really get scared for myself, you and my babies."
Fitz picked up the phone called the police told them what happened and said he wanted him arrested for harassment immediately. He grabbed her phone, called Abby to come over and then grabbed his keys. "Tom is on his way with Abby, you do not open this door or unarm the house for anyone but those two. Do you understand me Olivia?"
Olivia just shook her head yes and walked with him back downstairs. "Where are you going? Fitz, please just stay here, the police are going to his place I am sure."
"I am taking your phone to the police so they have that he called. There is a restraining order, he should not be calling you, me or doing any of this."
Olivia had tears in her eyes, "Fitz, please just stay here until Tom and Abby get here. I am scared."
Fitz looked into her eyes. "Okay. I am sorry baby, just need to get this man out of our lives for good."
"I know, he is not going to stop honey unless he is locked up for good."
"Oh, it will stop if I have to kill him myself."
Olivia pulled out of her husbands arms and the look on his face scared her, she knew that he meant every word. He would kill Jake if he had to.
