"What the hell do you mean Fitz got you pregnant?" Cyrus screamed at Olivia. She wasn't quite sure how to respond so she stayed quiet. "Oh ha, I got it. Nice one Olivia. Very funny joke. Game's over. You're not pregnant at all. Are you?" Cyrus laughed.

While she listened to him think it was funny she pulled out her latest ultrasound picture and handed it to him. "I am pregnant. No joke."

"But it cannot be Fitz's baby. You haven't even been on the same block together, let alone the same room, in a long time."

"Ella's christening. We had a little, rendezvous. Trust me, it wasn't pleasant."

"Please spare me the details. I do not need to know what way the President got you pregnant."

"I wouldn't tell you anyway. Either way, that's when I got pregnant."

Cyrus took in everything that Liv said. After a few minutes he spoke up. "What are you doing with it?"

"Keeping it. The baby is mine and I will raise the baby myself. I don't want anyone's help. This will be my cross to carry and I will handle it," Liv said as she got up to leave. "I just wanted you to know. So, since he has someone following me, I'm sure he's going to ask you questions. Do you know what you'll tell him?"

"I don't know."

"Exactly, each time he asks one of his stupid questions, you tell him that you don't know."

Olivia left Cyrus hoping that she could trust him at his word. She didn't actually want Fitz to know she was pregnant but there's no way for him not to find out. She's a high profile woman who has the career of fixing everyone. D.C. will need her to clean up their mess at some point, so she couldn't just hide away. As she thought about it, she thought hiding away might be the perfect way to conceal her pregnancy. Olivia went to OPA and discussed the plan she had with her team.

"I'm going to work from home. We can have client meetings here and you all can continue to work from your office but I'll be working from home," she told them.

"That's insanity. You want us to work alone here without you?" Harrison asked.

"Not alone, she'll be here just not physically here," Abby added.

Huck, being Huck, stood in the corner and listened to the discussion knowing that whatever he had to add wouldn't change the situation so there was no point in opening his mouth.

"We can video and call whenever there's a problem. I can even get you to the apartment to handle a crisis. I just can't have the baby's father knowing about their existence. He can't know for now. Until after the baby is born, this is how it will have to be," Olivia finished. With that, she left no room for any argument.

Cyrus had gone to the White House the next morning for the 9 a.m. meeting with the Joint Chiefs. When he went to the Oval to get Fitz, Lauren had told him that the President hadn't come down from the Residence yet. He waited for a half hour before deciding to go get Fitz himself. When he went to the bedroom Fitz usually slept in he found it empty and the bed made. After searching several rooms he finally found him in the State Dining room sitting at a table drinking.

"What are you doing?" Cyrus asked as he sat next to him.

Fitz was staring at a particular spot and didn't bother looking at Cyrus. "Enjoying the peace and quiet and remembering. Why are you here? It's Saturday, you're supposed to be at home with James and Ella."

"No, it's Monday and you are late for a meeting. What are you attempting to remember?" Curiosity got the best of Cyrus and he just wanted to know.

Fitz looked around the room but only at a couple different spots. "The one night I got to dance with her, it was here. We got to dance for one song because Mellie wanted to switch with Billy Chambers. He was dancing with her and I switched with him to dance with her. You said she was playing me that night," Fitz looked directly at Cyrus. "You said she wouldn't meet me in the Rose Garden because she was playing me. That it was all an act."

"I know. I remember what I said."

"And was she? Playing me?"

"We thought that tape came from her. That's why she was playing you."

"But she wasn't playing me. The tape never came from her. She wasn't blackmailing anyone. It was her on the tape!" Fitz was losing his temper with Cyrus. He was finally realizing that Cyrus was one of the only two people standing in the way of him being happy with Olivia. "I wasn't able to dance with her at any of the Inauguration parties and the one night that I was able to dance with her in public, she wouldn't even look at me."
