I wrote this one-shot because I really need Fitz to be around at least once when Jake starts talking reckless. I also wrote this because I feel that before Olivia can heal she needs to full break down. No one can force her to do anything but they can be by her side when she decides to make that step. I also love Abby and Fitz as friends. Abby, in my opinion, would never hurt Liv by trying to move in on her man. Olivia and Fitz as a team just brought me so much joy! Oh my, I really enjoyed writing this and I hope you all enjoy reading it!
"Abby, I just want her to be happy and if that's not with me then so be it." Fitz said
"Fitz she loves you more than anything she just isn't herself since the kidnapping." Abby replied
Abby and Fitz sat in The Oval Office talking about Olivia.
"I really just want her to get better," Fitz said
"At least you do. Jake is such an asshole to her and her father isn't any better."
"What is he doing to her?" Fitz asked
"He just talks down to her and she thinks she deserves it. Olivia has never been like that and I want to see her get better but I don't know how to help her." Abby said in a hushed tone.
"It's going to get worse before it gets better Abby."
"You're right sir, I think you should go see her. You are her piece of normal." Abby said to her boss who quickly became her friend
A couple of hours passed and Fitz decided to take Abby's advice. He put on his coat and asked Jason to pull the car around.
HE walked into Olivia's building and took the elevator up to her apartment. When he stepped off he was met with screams
"Fuck you, Jake!" Olivia screamed
"Of course because you are nothing but a whore." Jake began to push himself on Olivia
"Stop!" All of a sudden she was back in that dirty bathroom and all she could see was the red door.
Fitz being Fitz kicked down her door and immediately pulled Jake off of her. He could smell the liquor on Jake's breath and proceed to beat the shit out of him.
Once Jason finally got Fitz off of Jake, he pulled Jake out the apartment.
"File a restraining order in Olivia's name and get that piece of scum out of here!" Fitz barked
When the door closed Fitz ran to Olivia's side and pulled her to him.
She was shaking and sweating profusely.
"It's okay I'm here." Fitz said soothingly
"Breathe in, breathe out." Fitz chanted
Olivia's body instantly began to calm down as Fitz's voice began to fill her ears.
When she finally relaxed she was exhausted and collapsed in Fitz's arms.
Fitz picked her up and carried her to the bed and proceeded to lay her down.
He then called Abby and told her what happened.
"I'll kill him. No, better yet I'll have Huck and Quinn pick him apart."
"Abby stay focused. I need to keep her calm."
"The only thing that keeps her calm is you and when you aren't there she has one of your Navy shirts in the drawer next to her bed. Put it on her and hold her for the rest of the night. You don't have any appointments so I'll have work sent over to you." Abby said
"Thanks Abby." Fitz said
"Just take care of my sister Fitz. She needs you." Abby commanded
*A Couple of Hours Later*
Fitz was sitting on the edge of the bed watching Olivia when she began to stir.
Olivia sat up with a fright and began to look around. When her eyes landed on Fitz she let out a sigh of relief.
"Fitz, what are you doing here?"
"Abby suggested that I come and see you. We're worried about you." Fitz said
"I'm worried about me too," Olivia said
"Livvie," Fitz said
The tears began to drop as she heard the nickname she's been craving to hear for so long.
"Fitz, I can't do this alone." She said
"You don't have to. I keep telling you that I will always be here for you because I love you. You're the love if my life." Fitz says
"I am not the same person I was on the first campaign trail."
"Damnit, Olivia! Neither am I!" Fitz yells causing Olivia
"I didn't mean to yell, I just. Ughh. I don't understand why you won't let me be there." Fitz says running his hand through his hair
"I'm scared, Fitz. I'm scared. I want to let you but I don't know how. All I've ever know is how to fight for myself but I'm tired, Fitz. I don't want to fight us anymore but I need to get better." Olivia said
"Livvie, stop fighting. I'm going to be here. If you need me to come here every night then that's what I'll do. I'm going to be here through it all." Fitz said.
Olivia got up from the bed and walked to her dresser to get out Doux Bébé. She then proceeded to walk towards him.
"I didn't stop wearing this because I hated you but because you gave this to the woman you loved and at the time I wasn't that person. However, I want you to put this on my finger because in my eyes this is my first step to recovery." Olivia said
Fitz placed the ring on her pointer finger and then kissed it.
Olivia proceeded to pull Fitz into a hug.
"I love you Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III. You are the love of my life and I know you want me to get better for myself as do I. But I want to get better for you, for us." Olivia said looking him in the eye.
"Thank you Livvie but did you have to use my whole name?" Fitz said lightly
"Oh hush and come lay with me. Don't worry I replaced my old bed." Olivia said
Fitz laid down and Olivia snuggled into him.
"I'm working from here tomorrow and you are taking the day off," Fitz said
"That's fine with me." Olivia said looking up at Fitz.
Olivia leaned up and kissed Fitz.
"So we're in this together?" He asked
"We're in this together." She replied as the sun began to rise over Washington and over her new beginning.
This may have a second part. I'm thinking of a year later. Fitz out of the WH and him and Liv moving forward in a healthy relationship. But who knows?
