Cyrus had just come into his office at the White House when Tom came in. Tom didn't say anything when he opened the door. Cyrus just knew from the look on Tom's face. "He knows?" Tom nodded and led Cyrus to the Oval.
Tom opened the door to the Oval and let Cyrus in before closing it with him on the outside. "Before you say anything, I know what I did was wrong. So very wrong. I don't blame you for hating me or doing whatever it is that you are going to do to me. I understand completely. If someone hired Charlie to take Ella from me, I'd kill them with my bare hands. I know you hate me and want to punish me but know that what I did was for your own good."
"You hired someone to take my son, the only son I have, the son I didn't even know existed, for my own good?"
"Don't judge it. I thought it was for the better but I was wrong."
"The Cyrus Beene, King of Me, is admitting he is wrong? The world must be coming to an end. How is that for my own good? You took my son and gave him to a very dangerous man."
"Olivia didn't want you to know, and eventually she would have caved and shown Reagan to you. I was protecting your presidency."
"That's all you ever do. You always try to protect the presidency. That was your excuse for Defiance and Amanda too. I'm tired of that damn excuse. That's not why you did it. You did it to protect yourself. You wanted to protect your job. That's the only thing you ever do! You only think about yourself and what you want. Defiance is something that you did to get yourself into the White House. I know that you can't be front and center of being President because America is pigheaded and I'm sorry about that. That's why you get to run behind the scenes. Just because you have the power to do something does not mean that you should do it! You can't hire someone to take another's child and take the child out of the country. Not only is it wrong, it's illegal. I told Olivia that I would handle you and that is what I am doing. Tom and Daniel will be escorting you off of the premises. You are not allowed to come back here until Olivia has forgiven you. And if I know Liv, you won't be back for a long time. I don't want to hear your apologies. Now, get the hell out of my office."
Tom took Cyrus out of the Oval. He told Tom to remind Fitz about his meetings and that he had to be there. He had to remind Fitz that he couldn't just spend all his time with Olivia. No matter what, Fitz still had a job to do.
Olivia had put her suitcase in a bedroom in the residence and taken Reagan down to see Fitz in the Oval when Cyrus was being escorted out. Liv stood in the waiting room outside the Oval talking with Lauren who was making over Reagan. She waited a few minutes for Fitz to calm down and then went in.
"Everything okay?" Liv stepped in with Reagan.
Fitz turned around to see her when he was looking out the window at the Rose Garden. A minute ago he was upset but the second he saw Liv and his son his mouth turned into a smile a mile wide. "Great now that you're here." He went over towards her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Fitz went to take Reagan and saw Olivia's reaction. She instantly held Reagan closer to her chest. No one had held Reagan other than her, even in the hospital. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you."
"No it's alright; I know what you were doing. It's just an automatic reaction. I don't want anyone taking him ever again."
"I know you don't. I would never take him from you, Livie."
Liv relaxed a little. She knew that Fitz would never intentionally hurt her or their son. She stood up from the couch and gently put Reagan in his arms. "I know I can trust you with our son. I'm just over protective of him, I guess."
"It's okay to be. After what happened, I am too. But between you and me, and Huck, Reagan is perfectly safe. No one is going to do anything to him or take him anywhere. I promise you that." Fitz held Reagan close to his chest. "He's so small. He's perfect, Livie. Thank you for him."
"Fitz, even though I wasn't prepared for a baby, I'm glad I got one with you. You gave me someone who is just perfect. Reagan is strong just like you. He looks just like you too. Thank you for him. I know we weren't in a good place together when he was conceived, but I think we can get back to us."
