"Blake invited me to his bachelor party tonight," Fitz told Olivia when they met for breakfast the next morning.
"I know, he told me last night. You are going aren't you?"
"Do you want me to?"
"I mean if you want to get your nails and hair done with Abby and Ella and the bridesmaids tonight that might work. I think we're also watching Fault in Our Stars. So there's that option too."
"Bachelor party here I come."
Fitz gathered into the limo later after the rehearsal dinner with the guys heading out. He was trying to avoid Blake as much as possible, for Liv's sake. Really all he wanted to do was punch Blake in the face and teach him a lesson for ever hurting Olivia. He knew he had emotionally hurt her before but never in his life would he ever physically hurt her.
"Fitz you ready to party?" Blake yelled across the loud limo to him.
"Yeah sounds like a good time."
"Good we're here."
Stepping out and looking around, they arrived at a private club. He followed Blake and the others into the building and sat down at an open booth only to be met with a stripper to sit on his lap.
"Hey handsome," she flirted getting as close as possible to Fitz and kissing his neck.
"Hey," he answered trying to push her off his lap. "Sorry just not into this, go ahead and dance for those guys," he pointed towards the groomsmen, "the one in the red shirt is the bachelor."
The woman smiled at him and stood up, swaying her hips to the other side of the room. Fitz watched Blake for a bit seeing how he would interact with these women knowing he was getting married in less than twenty-four hours.
"You don't seem to be enjoying yourself Mr. President," Marcus, a groomsmen came over to sit with him.
"It's Fitz, Marcus, and no I'm not into the whole stripper scene. But I suppose that what a bachelor party is usually like."
"Is it weird that you're here at Liv's wedding after your um… history together?"
"Just a bit. It's weirder to be IN the wedding though, but for Liv, anything."
"Can I ask why you two broke up? It looked like the two of you were made for each other."
"Differences I guess. She wasn't ready to get married. I guess she is now."
Marcus laughed, "if you say so," he said before taking a drink.
"Something you care to share?"
"Not a thing. Just, you know Liv."
Fitz stared at Marcus for a few seconds before seeing Blake wander off somewhere. After a couple minutes he left Marcus and went to find Blake. He stepped outside to see where he went and heard him talking.
"I'm going to marry her tomorrow Ash."
"You don't love her though! And what about Jacob? You know she won't let you see him after the wedding."
"Ashley don't you dare do that. You know nothing about her, maybe she does love kids. Why do you care anyway?"
"Because you're going to marry her. The whore that split up the president and his wife. And now she's going to do that to us. I'm tired of you picking her over me."
"You know what she can do for me, you don't have the capabilities to do it. "
"That's not fair Blake. She's trying to ruin us!"
"No, I'm trying to help us and the way to do that is to think that I love Olivia Pope and marry her tomorrow to take her for all she's worth and then some. I'm doing this for us and the company. If I don't do this, Ashley, there's no point to living anymore and I can't provide for Jacob."
"You put away that money though."
"And it's gone! There's not a dime left! I had to pay some debts. And I still owe. If I don't get them payed off soon, Jacob could be next. Olivia is collateral damage but you and Jacob are the ones I can't live without. You have to trust me, Ashley."
"You better be right about this."
"I've tried every other possible way; this is the only choice I have. Look, once Olivia and I get married tomorrow I have complete access to all the bank accounts. I can wipe them clean and we'll be back on top. I need to be able to give Jacob everything that I can. She can make sure that I do that. She's going to be out of the picture in a matter of time anyway."
"Blake, you can't go to jail what would we do without you?"
"I'm not going to kill her. She's just going to have a very unfortunate accident."
That was all Fitz needed to hear. He made a snap decision and went back inside.
"Marcus!" he yelled getting his attention. "What does an Ashley have to do with Blake?" he asked coming to sit next to him.
"Ashley? That's his baby mama. Why?"
"Does Olivia know about her?"
"No. She didn't want to know."
"What do you mean she didn't want to know?"
"She said nothing was going to change her mind about how she felt about Blake. So we let it go. If she wanted to know then I'd tell her, or Abby or Huck would. But until then we were going to not tell her."
"That's kind of important to know, don't you think?"
"Olivia is Olivia. Good luck changing her mind. Hey, you could tell her, I bet she'd listen to you. She tells us to shut up whenever we bring it up."
"God I really hope so."
