"You do that and you'll have to admit to the American public that you had an affair," Olivia told him. "You want to go to court; you will have to explain every little detail about what happened between us. Every single time we were together. You will have to explain how I got the job at the White House and why I quit. And if you do that, you'll just stress me out then I can't take proper care of my son."
Fitz sat at the table and thought about the actions that could happen. "I can take him away from you. I don't want to do that but I will if you force me too. Can't we work something out?"
"No. I am not going to cave on this. After what you did to me, and how I ended up pregnant. You are never going to be forgiven. I am done with this shit that you put me through every time that we even talk to each other. It's not just me who I have to think about now. I won't stand for the shit I have to deal with when I'm around you. Now get the hell out of my apartment," she yelled. Olivia stomped off to her bedroom and slammed the door closed, locking it behind her.
Fitz didn't want to leave but Tom and Daniel convinced him that she needed her space and he could come back tomorrow. He wanted to be part of his son's life but Olivia had always been stubborn. If she said no, then the answer was no. He had to think of some way that Olivia would come back to him. After a few minutes he went to her bedroom door. "I'm going to go now but I'll be back tomorrow. Please, let's just talk and get past this part. Liv, I need you to talk to me though. I'll give you your space tonight but we really need to talk tomorrow. I'll be over tomorrow afternoon. Please let my son know that no matter how he got here, that I do love him. Goodnight, sweet baby." He left her apartment and went back to the White House.
All night Fitz thought about the life that he could have had with Olivia. They could have already had a couple of kids by now. He could have had a somewhat quiet life with his kids and the woman he loves. But since he didn't leave Mellie when he wanted to leave her, he may never get her back.
Olivia stayed in her bedroom with Reagan all night and day. She waited for the knock on the door the next afternoon for Fitz to show up. She knew he was determined to get answers. He was stubborn but not as stubborn as she was. He would want to know everything and by now may have ever come up with a plan. Fitz might have come up with some ridiculous plan to get closer to her that she would have to fix. Her top thought was that he would resign as President but she didn't want him to do that. They all worked too hard to get him there. He deserved to be in the White House and helping the country. He deserved everything he had got so far.
A little after three in the afternoon there was a knock on the front door to her apartment. She lay on her side with Reagan next to her as they slept. Olivia was so tired she didn't hear him knock louder and louder. Fitz decided to try and open the door and when he did the door opened right up. He looked around for her but she never answered when he called her name. He went to her bedroom door and knocked before trying to open it. When it didn't open he went to the table at the end of the hall and pulled out the key to unlock it. He opened the door and saw the two most precious people sleeping on the bed. He told Tom and Daniel to hang around the living room and then could turn on the television quietly. Fitz went back into Olivia's room and took off his shoes to lay down in just his jeans and t-shirt. He lay on his side putting his son between them watching the two of them sleep. After an hour Olivia woke up when Reagan started to fuss. Fitz rubbed his son's stomach to soothe him trying not to wake Olivia but it didn't matter. She was awake the second Reagan started to cry. She saw Fitz lying on the other side of the bed touching her son and wondered how she could keep him away from Reagan. Liv could tell that he loved him already, even without knowing his name. Fitz saw her wake up and watched her eyes adjust to the light filling the room. He caught hold of her eyes with his and told her the one word that was so simple so say but meant so much, "Hi."
