Mellie was shocked her own daughter was blackmailing her. She had nothing to say she got up and rushed out of the room and out the hospital unnoticed by the press that were listening to what the doctor had to say about the President's condition. Cyrus decided he would wait in the waiting room for more information on Fitzgerald condition.
The kids and Olivia sat and waited for him to wake for days that turned into a weeks, weeks that turned into a month. She knew she had to prepare for the chance of him never waking up but she didn't want to think that way. She needed him to wake up, she wants their happily ever after. One day the kids went with Abby and Harrison, Olivia decided to visit Fitz alone. He looked the same as usual she crawled in bed with him and cried herself to sleep.
Fitz's point of view
He heard Mellie and Cyrus, Karen and Jerry, and Olivia. She's crying, she doesn't believe in crying she said 'It shows your weak' She wouldn't love me because it's a weakness. All I ever wanted was her love, she gave it to me many times but she always ran away with it when I needed it the most. She wasn't lying love is a weakness she is my weakness that's why I'm stuck in thus darkness now because I love her because she weakens my mind body and soul. She uses me , I just can't do it anymore she will literally be the death of me. I have to wake up and change my life around she will no longer rule me. I won't let her. This time we are done.
