"He kidnapped Reagan."
Fitz took in every word that Olivia was saying. Reagan was kidnapped? How was that possible? When could Cyrus have taken him? He was with Fitz the entire day. Cyrus was many things but a kidnapper wasn't one of them. Cyrus would have protected Olivia from the hurt that would cause her. Cyrus loved Olivia like his own daughter. There was no way that he could be behind Reagan's kidnapping. "How do you know?"
Olivia was silent for a minute, getting her tears away. "The doctors took Reagan to do some tests before he could come home. Someone stabbed the nurse watching him in the neck with a sedative and took him out of the hospital without anyone noticing."
"But that could have been anyone. How do you know it was Cyrus?"
"Huck looked at the security footage. He saw who took Reagan. Cyrus hired some guy to kidnap Reagan and take him out of the country."
Fitz sat tall and ran a hand through his hair. "Charlie."
"You know about Charlie? How?"
"Cyrus has called him in on several occasions. Usually I've had the opportunity to stop him before he paid Charlie. I know what he's capable of. It's not the greatest idea to call him in. He's saved for a last resort. But Cyrus likes to take the bull by the horns and handle the situation differently without my knowing. So how did you get Reagan back?"
"Huck tracked where Charlie took Reagan. They went to the Bahamas and Huck followed. He came back with our son and Reagan was safe. Charlie didn't hurt him or anything. He just took him."
"That was the call that Cyrus made. I heard him on the phone telling someone to come back with him. I didn't know what that was supposed to mean. I'll handle Cyrus tomorrow. What about Reagan now?"
Olivia smiled at his concern for their son. "He's fine. His lungs are doing greats and he is a healthy two month old boy. We have his weekly checkup in two days."
"That's good; I'd like an update when I can. I'd actually like several things to happen. But I do believe that we should discuss that together. The sooner, the better."
"I'm all ears now. You have a plan? Tell me, I'll work the kinks out of it and see what I can do to make it happen."
"Always the fixer, aren't you?" Fitz laughed. "My divorce changes a lot of things for us. I want to be with you. I always have. A long time ago you were the person I had been looking for, even before we met. I have a lot to give you and to Reagan but the biggest thing is my love. I love both of you. Even though I have barely held my son, I do love him. I want to work out some kind of arrangement with you to see him. I won't take him away from you. He needs you and you do need him. We may fight more than anything but I do love you. I can be with whoever I want to be with right now. And out of everyone in the world, there's no one other than you that I want to spend my time with. Ideally, I'd like for you and Reagan to move into the White House with me. I could spend time with the two of you. We can be a family now. But I think that's moving a bit faster than what you would like. I know that you are in fixer mode now but I need you to come out of it because you aren't fixing this. I've already handled it and you won't change my mind with anything you say or do. I have decided that after my first term is finished, I will not be running for a second." Olivia tried to argue but he stopped her. "There are too many things that have happened from my first term that I need to fix. You and I need to get back to being you and me. And now that includes Reagan. Cyrus is something that I will deal with. I can't focus on being President and fixing my relationship with you at the same time. We have a son together and you will always come first. From now on, nothing is as important as you and him. I will get back to what you and I had before. Somewhere, we still have it. My term is over next year and by then I plan to be on equal footing as you. These past months without you have been awful. When I wasn't asleep, I was drinking and when I wasn't drinking I was having black outs. Livie, you're my life and I can't live without you. I refuse to live without you again. I'm going to make sure that I keep you close to me and don't lose you again. What do you think about moving into the White House with me?"
After a minute she answered, "Okay."
