Ok so sorry for the long wait everyone. Now that finals are over and I have time to write more to this story I am happy to give you more. And I want to thank you all for being so supportive about this story. I hope that you like it.


It has been 2 weeks. Two weeks since I was once again reunited with Fitz. And every day since then I have been grateful that he has returned to me, as the man I love. The man that I have always loved. Though our situation wasn't what we wanted me managed to make the best of the situation. During the day I would be at the White House working with Cyrus and my staff to make sure that things were under control, and Vice President Langston didn't cause any more trouble than she already had. At night I was at the hospital with Fitz, and slept within the comfort of his arms.

"Hi. How are you feeling today?" I asked.

"I am great. I feel even better now that you are here with me." Fitz said. I could tell that he was so happy to see me. He opened his arms out towards me.

I walked over toward him and was embraced by him as I had the same night that he had visited me at my apartment for the first time.

"Fitz. I have to ask you something. And it's probably something that you're not going to like." I said and I looked at him with slight worry in my eye for how he might react when I asked him this questions.

"What is it?" said Fitz. As though he too saw the expression on my face and slightly worried where this conversation was going.

"What are we going to do? I mean what are we going to do when things get back to normal? When you're out of this hospital, back at the White House, and back with Mellie?" I take a breath and try to compose myself before continuing our conversation.

"I'm worried Fitz. I just got you back. I don't want to lose you again." I looked at him afraid of what the future may hold for us. For the first time in my life I was afraid, and I couldn't do or think of anything that would or could help me fix it.

"Liv. I know how worried you are, and I have to admit that I have been thinking about the same things myself. So because of all the time that I have had just laying here, I've thought about what we should do and I have already taken the first step."

"What do you mean you've taken the first step? Fitz what did you do?" I looked at him with worry and concern for what he was about to tell me. All I could do was hope that he had done nothing foolish or damaging to his presidency.

"I filed for divorce 2 days ago. I've talked with Karen and Gerry, and they understand. In fact I was surprised by how understanding they were, and how much they knew about us. They were also very open about how they wanted to live with me, once the divorce was finalized. Liv? Are you ok?" He looked at me as though he thought that I had gone into shock, and was ready to hit the call button to get help.

All I could do was be utterly and completely shocked. How could he have done this? Why did he do this?

"Fitz what were you thinking? Do you know what this could do to your presidency? How this would affect your polls? The chance of you getting re-elected? Not to mention what Cyrus is going to think when he hears about this." I said with utter amazement, worry, and a little bit of anger.

"Liv. I don't care about all of that. That is what had caused us to be apart for so long. And I am not going to go through that again." He cupped my face and looked into my eyes, the same way that he did every time that we were together. The same what they he told me in our secret way that he loved me. That I was his entire world and that I was the love of his life.

"All I want is to be with you. After being shot, and leaving you all alone without telling you how much I love you. I realize how short life can be. So I'm tired of waiting. All that matters to me know is you and the kids. So don't worry about my presidency or anything else. If things are meant to be then they will be, or knowing you and Cyrus you will make them happen." He said with a smile, trying to break the tension and awkwardness of the situation.

I thought about what Fitz had said, and how this was going to change everything. But then I thought about how this would also make a future for us possible. However there was a feeling in my gut that even though things may seem like they might be easy for us, most likely won't be. And the reason why is not only because of the polls, or the public. The one person that might hurt our chances is Mellie. Ever since the beginning she has hated the idea of Fitz and I being together. Which means that we will have to ensure that she doesn't ruin our chances once more. From that moment on instead of fighting Fitz, I would be fighting Mellie. And we both knew that that battle was going to be long and hard for both of us.

"Ok. Though I may not agree with the situation, I trust you." I looked at him and we both smiled at each other. And I think that for the first time I could see a clear and happy future with Fitz.

That night I slept within the comfort of Fitz's strong and loving arms. And for the first time in a long time we both slept without worry or fear of being caught or what might happen if we were caught. All that mattered to us was being with one another and loving each other.
