Fitz P.O.V.
I was released two weeks after I woke up. Olivia said I'm the man of the month. In my condition when released I have to be cared for. Olivia Pope was the emergency contact and the person who had the power to kill me when I was in the coma. So Olivia was my caregiver with the help of a nurse. Doctor told her I was not to go to the White House until I am healed. I need the doctor's say so to start work again. The doctor asked what to tell the reporters. Olivia told him tell them the truth. I'm the president's best friend so I'll be taking care of him during this time. My doctor seemed relieved when she said best friend and not girlfriend. I didn't like him getting relief from that. They gave me some medicine to help me sleep through the drive to Olivia's new home and when the doctor thought I was asleep he leaned in and kissed Olivia's lips. She moved away immediately and she Looked at me to check if I was up. I think she knew I was. She told him no explaining that she had a lot going on with taking care of me and my kids maintaining a house and working. She wouldn't have time. He said he would pursue her until she gives him a chance. She nodded and he left. The ambulance started and I fell asleep the doctor was supposed to meet Olivia at her home but I wasn't up to keep him away. So I don't know if anything happened. Olivia doesn't say much to me but I hear her crying some nights. Then every morning she cooks breakfast and a worker from her job takes the kids to school. Abby comes by during the day to teach Olivia to cook some healthy things for me. Sometimes I get the nurse to take me to the living room and I would listen to her frustration and Abby's encouragement. At some point she broke down in the kitchen after continuously forgetting an ingredient. I had the nurse roll me into the kitchen. I stood up by myself Abby and the nurse helped me stay up. Olivia freaked begging me to sit down and leave. I squat down and got on my knees it was the most difficult thing I have done since waking up. She kept telling me to go away but I didn't. I talked to her and offered to have the White House chef come here to cook the meals. She refused she said she won't be embarrassed. Then Abby offered to come and cook the meals but she told her that she wanted to be the one doing it and she wasn't going to give up. She didn't give up and she's been doing better and catching on faster. There has been more questions about my relationship with Olivia and why Mellie hasn't visited or isn't the one taking care of me. I just finished physical therapy. When I fell I struck some nerves moving my legs have been the hardest part. My physical therapist has been helping me shower. He sets everything up turns on the water and leaves me be. Olivia sits and reads outside my door during this time.
"Olivia I'm done." She turns off the water and Jerry comes in to help Olivia dress me then he rolls me to bed. Once settled in he leaves Olivia went to the bathroom to collect the dirty clothes but when she walked into the room she dropped everything and ran back to the bathroom. I heard her throwing up. I got up I was feeling wobbly but I stood until I could step. I put one foot in front of another this is the most steps I've took and the longest I've stood without falling.
"Olivia I'm doing it." She came rushing out the bathroom and stop in her tracks she looked from the bed to where I stood and her hands flew to her mouth. "Stay right there I'm going to come to you."
"Oh my God you're going to hurt yourself." But she didn't move because she believe I'll make it. I started trying to move faster. "Slow down." I kept going until I stood right in front of her then my legs gave out and I fell with Olivia. I laid there on the ground Olivia hands were underneath my head so I wouldn't hit it. Her legs were wrapped in mines. The kids came rushing in. They helped us and Olivia told them what happened. I was pissed off with myself I could've hurt Olivia. The kids left and she sat me up so I could watch tv. She turned to leave but I pulled her partially in my lap. "I didn't mean to fall. I'm sorry for being reckless. You're trying to hard for me to act like a kid."
"It's fine I'm going to go call your doctor make sure you didn't hurt anything." She said it so softly. She left me alone to my thoughts.
I know I still love her but this is a new Olivia a better Olivia but this is also a broken Olivia who doesn't laugh or rarely smile. But I know I can fix her. Do I want Olivia, Liv, my Livvie, my sweet baby back?
Fitz sat there pondering this when my doctor walked in with Olivia trailing behind.
"Hello Fitzgerald."
"Hello Dr. Brown"
"I heard some good things and some bad things. I'm just going to check you real quick and wipe that concern out of Ms. Pope's pretty little head." I said nothing but I watched Olivia and she watched the doctor check me. He felt my legs asking questions and I gave him the answers he desired.
