With only two days to go until Fitz was scheduled to leave the White House, Fitz moved in to Blair House so that Gov. Reston could begin settling into the presidential living quarters. Fitz was enjoying spending this time with Liv and Zion. He would get up every morning, put in his hours in the oval, and return home to his soon to be wife and child. Things couldn't have been more perfect. But he knew there was one thing they had to do. Liv and Fitz decided that the time had come for them to tell Zion the news of their engagement.

"Zion, mommy and daddy have something to tell you" Liv said as she walked over to the little boy.

"Okay mommy."

Liv kneeled down beside Zion and looked up at Fitz before continuing.

"Zion, daddy asked me to marry him. So we can be the way a real family is supposed to be." Liv said. Her voice was shaky, almost as if she was afraid of Zion's response.

Zion stood there for a moment and looked at Liv then Fitz. Fitz was more prepared for Zion's response than Liv was. He was sure something negative would have come out of Zion's mouth. What came next surprised them both.

"Mommy, daddy, can we go get some ice cream?" Zion said as he grabbed his coat and walked towards the door of Blair House. He frowned as he turned around and saw Liv and Fitz standing still.

"Zion, do you have anything to say about what I just said?" Liv asked, slightly baffled by Zion's indifference to the news.

"No. Can we get ice cream now?"

"Are you ok okay with this son?"Fitz asked as he walked over to Zion.

"Yep. Mommies and daddies are upposed to be married. Now can we go get some ice cream?"

Liv looked at Fitz and laughed. She hugged Zion and cupped his face between her hands.

"Where do you want to go for ice cream?"

"The ice cream store mommy!"

"Well, as long as daddy is up for it sure." Liv said prompting the both of them to give Fitz pouty faces.

Fitz walked over and grabbed his coat, then they made their way out the door.

On the ride over both Liv and Fitz sat and watched Zion staring out of the window. They had apparently underestimated him because of his age. They should have known that Zion would be okay with them getting married. Like he said, that is what mommies and daddies were supposed to do - only they had the order backwards.

When they arrived at the ice cream parlor, Fitz and Zion went to order their ice cream as Liv searched for a booth to sit down. A crowd appeared, everyone wanting to get a glimpse of the president and his son spending time together. Fitz and Zion both ordered an ice cream Sunday, and a Greek frozen yogurt for Liv.

Liv sat in the booth watching the two of them together. She was so absorbed in the way they were interacting that she didn't notice Mellie sneak up on her.

"Hello Olivia." Mellie said with a faux smile Liv knew all too well.

"Mellie." Liv responded never once taking her eyes off of Fitz and Zion.

Mellie followed Liv's line of view and noticed Fitz and Zion waiting at the counter for their order. Fitz had Zion high on his shoulders as other patrons began snapping pictures of the duo. Even though she didn't want to admit it, Mellie thought Zion was a gorgeous child. With Fitz's dashing good looks, and his slightly tanned complexion, Zion was going to slay the girls when he grew up. Both women watched the father and son together then return to the table. When Fitz turned and saw Mellie standing next to Liv, he held Zion closer as he made his way to the table.

Fitz sat Zion down and handed him his ice cream. He knew Mellie was up to no good, and he gave her a look daring her to speak ill of his son or Liv. Little did Fitz know, Mellie was up for a little challenge in her life. Ignoring Liv and Fitz Mellie walked closer to Zion, prompting Liv to stand. Tom stood as well, ready to take action if a problem should arise.

"Hello, I'm Mellie. What's your name?" Mellie said as she looked at the little boy.

"I don't know you." Zion said flatly. He reached his arms upward for Fitz to pick him up again. There was something about the woman standing in front of him that made Zion very uncomfortable.

"What a very smart boy you are. I'm a friend of your daddy's." Mellie said trying to maintain her faux smile.

"No you're not." Zion shot back holding onto Fitz even tighter. Fitz rubbed Zion's back until he felt him relax. He looked at Zion and kissed his head.

"It's okay son. Sit and eat your ice cream before it melts."

"Okay daddy." Zion said as Fitz set him back in his seat. Zion could see Mellie still looking at him. He looked up at Liv waiting for approval. When Liv nodded he responded.

"I'm Zion." The little boy said before returning his attention back to his ice cream. He looked up at Fitz and smiled before speaking again.

"Mellie do you know my mommy? Zion asked sensing the tension rising.

"Yes Zion. Do you know who I am?" Mellie asked.

"Yes I know but I'm trying to eat my ice cream." Zion replied irritated he was still being prevented from eating.

Fitz looked at Mellie, trying to hide how irritated he truly was by her presence. Liv offered Mellie a seat, hoping she wouldn't cause a scene with Zion being present. Mellie sat down and watched the little boy inhale is dessert.

"Liv, he is a really good looking boy. Looks just like Fitz. Nope, there's no denying Fitz created this one." Mellie said cutting Fitz a glaring look.

"Yep, he is definitely Fitz's son. He's what, almost four, and Fitz and I have only been divorced two years." Mellie asked with venom in her voice.

"What's your point? The world already knows this so tell me; What do you want Mellie?" Liv fired back with the same amount of venom in her voice. Liv's irritability was now showing loud and clear.

Mellie looked at Fitz then at Liv. She took a deep breath and a conniving smile crept across her face.

"Well Liv, I was wondering when Fitz wanted to have the children come down to visit. Unless he's forgotten he does have more than just one child." Mellie replied never once taking her eyes off of Fitz. The corners of Mellie's mouth turned upwards and Fitz could tell it was time to hand Zion over to Tom.

"Zion, did your mommy and daddy tell you that you have brothers and a sister?" Mellie asked knowing full well what she was doing.

Liv stood to lift Zion but froze when he began to speak. "No. My mommy and daddy said I have an aunt Karen and uncle Jerry. No brodders or sister." Zion said looking up at a very pleased Fitz.

Mellie looked at the boy clearly taken aback by his words. Not only was he un phased by her presence, the same presence that made grown men cower, he was very intelligent.

"Well Zion, would you like to meet them someday? I'm sure they would love to meet you. I'm sure they could tell you tons of stories about how amazing your daddy is." Mellie said. She could feel Liv glaring at her, but Mellie refused to turn and look at her.

"You have to aks mommy and MY daddy. I am a vewy busy kid." Zion said as he looked at Liv and sensed she wasn't happy. The next thing that came out of Zion's mouth earned him another scoop of ice cream in Fitz's book.

"My mommy and daddy are getting married and I am going to have a brodder or sister. But you can't meet them. My baby is not upposed to meet rude people." Zion said knowing what he was doing.

"Ok Zion, that's enough." Liv said as she picked him up and handed him to Tom. Tom turned, but not before Zion got in one last question.

"Are you married?" He asked looking at Mellie.

"I was married Zion but not anymore. I was married to your daddy. That is until your mommy came along and stole him away."

Zion took in the words Mellie said and noticed Liv's jaw begin to tighten. Zion tilted his head and smiled. He looked up at Fitz first.

"Daddy, isn't stealing bad?" He asked looking up at Fitz.

"Yes son, stealing is bad." Fitz said waiting for Zion to finish forming his thought.

"Mommy, can mommies steal daddies?"

"No sweetie. Daddies and mommies choose who they want to be with. They just fall in love."

"Well, I guess my daddy loves my mommy more than you. Bye!" Zion said as Liv nodded and Tom began to walk away with the child.

The three adults stood there speechless over what had just come out of Zion's mouth. There was no denying that Fitz was in love with Liv. It was common knowledge that he had been for years. But the words coming out of a three year olds mouth was enough to stun them all. Fitz made a mental note that Zion deserved two scoops of ice cream the next time they came. To be able to render Mellie speechless, the boy deserved whatever his little heart desired. Fitz walked over to Liv and placed his arm around her waist.

"What do you want Mellie? We know this isn't a friendly visit. I can see the schemes forming in your eyes. Even MY SON can read you." Fitz asked as he pulled Liv closer.

Mellie searched for the right words to say, but couldn't find them. She couldn't believe what came out of that little boy's mouth. Clearly she needed to reassess her strategy before approaching the son of Olivia Pope. Since her plan had been stalled, she decided to lie.

"I was just in town and decided to stop by and say hello to Cyrus. I noticed you all entering the building and just wanted to stop and say hello."

"Well, if there is nothing more you need to say, Liv and I must be going. We've got a family to expand. I mean, we wouldn't want to let Zion down now would we?" Fitz turned to Liv but it was clear he was still speaking to Mellie.

"Besides, practicing is my favorite part in all of the baby making." Fitz said as he slipped his hand into Liv's back pocket. Liv jumped as she felt Fitz give a little squeeze, then followed suit and did the same. Liv looked at Mellie but said nothing as they turned and left the ice cream parlor. Mellie stood in the ice cream parlor frozen. This isn't the last they'd hear from her. There was no way she was going to allow Olivia Pope to have her happily ever after with the man she worked so hard to create.

On the ride back to the White House Liv rested against Fitz's chest as they watched Zion taking in the scenery around him. It was truly amazing just how wise Zion was for his age. As Zion began to drift off to sleep, Liv looked up at Fitz.

"Fitz, did you mean what you said back there? About expanding our family?"

"Yes. Neither of us are getting any younger. There's no time like the present to at least begin trying." Fitz responded with a smile on his face. Liv looked into his eyes and saw that Fitz was serious.

"Don't you think we should wait a little? I mean you and Zion are just beginning to build a relationship, I don't know if he's ready for such a huge change."

"So you don't want more children?" Fitz asked sounding more than a little disappointed. Liv looked up at Fitz and cupped his face in her hands.

"Fitz there is nothing I want more, but we have to do what is best for Zion. I just think we should let things happen on their own, and not try too hard. Not while everything is still new. But there's no rule saying we can't practice a little... or a lot in the meantime." Liv replied as she repositioned herself onto Fitz's lap. Liv looked over at Zion and saw he was fast asleep before she lowered her head and brushed her lips against Fitz's. Fitz caught her lower lip in his mouth and began to nibble on it.

"Do you think Cyrus would mind watching Zion tonight?" Fitz asked as he began kissing Liv's neck. Liv pushed Fitz's head back and looked at him.

"Fitz no."

"No?"

"No. You can't send Zion to someone's home everytime you're feeling horny. We are going to be together for a very long time. If we did that, we'd never see him."

"Livvie..."

"Fitz, you want loving, you're going to have to figure it out."

Fitz looked at Liv and knew she was right, but he still couldn't help the fact that he wanted her as soon as they walked in the door. Fitz had been used to nurses and nannies raising Karen, Jerry, and Teddy. Mellie wasn't great with babies. Children she could do, but in small doses. Liv was definitely different. She was very hands on when it came to Zion. He was almost always with her. She had Zion on a schedule, and that too was something Fitz had to adjust to. Fitz knew controlling his manly urges would be hard, but nothing worth it was ever easy.

As they arrived into Blair House, Fitz laid Zion down in his room, and covered him up while Liv went to change. He crept out of the room and made his way back to Liv. Fitz sat down on the couch with a bottle of wine and two glasses and waited for Liv to finish changing.

When Liv returned she grabbed her glass of wine, and sat on Fitz's lap. Fitz looked at her and began toying with the fabric of the robe she was wearing. He silently prayed she wasn't wearing anything underneath.

Fitz began kissing Liv's neck as he ran his hand up her thigh. To his delight, Liv was completely naked under the robe. He worked his hand between her thighs as he covered her mouth with his own. Liv opened her legs for Fitz, inviting him to continue his journey. As he reached her core, Fitz was amazed to feel how hot and ready she was for him. Not wanting to chance losing time, Fitz stood with Liv in his arms and carried her into the bedroom.

In one swift motion, Fitz closed and locked the door, and carried Liv over to the bed. He laid her down and stepped out of his clothes as quickly as he could. Moments later Fitz had returned to the bed and lowered himself onto Liv. Knowing Liv still needed time to adjust to his size, he covered Liv's mouth with his own as he entered her slowly.

Liv snaked her tongue into Fitz's mouth as she wrapped her legs around him. Fitz's strokes were slow at first, only picking up when Liv began to match his movements. Fitz lifted himself a little as he untied Liv's robe and revealed her creamy brown skin. Both let out a moan as their bare body's touched. Liv broke the kiss and looked up at Fitz. Liv opened her mouth, and only one word came out.

"Harder." Liv said before biting down on Fitz's bottom lip.

Fitz looked down into Liv's eyes and realized she was serious. Fitz picked up his movements, driving into Liv harder and deeper. Liv went to let out a scream, but Fitz muffled it with a kiss. Liv dug her nails into Fitz's back, as her orgasm ripped through her body. Fitz finished soon after, finding release deep inside of Liv's walls. As Fitz rolled off of Liv he became eerily quiet. He pulled her close, but still didn't utter a word.

"What's wrong?" Liv said as she looked up at Fitz and realized he was deep in thought.

"Livvie, you said we should wait to begin a family, right?"

"Yes, so?" Liv replied still not understanding where Fitz was going with this.

"So, we haven't used any sort of protection at all the past three weeks. Including just now." Fitz replied with mixed emotions. Fitz wanted another child with Liv, but he wanted to do things the way Liv needed.

Liv laid there for a moment quietly, then turned to Fitz and wrapped her arms around him. She looked up at Fitz, and smiled.

"Fitz, I'm all in. I'm not going anywhere ever again."

"I'm all in too Livvie. You know that." Fitz said as he looked down at Liv with a sincere smile on his face.

Liv kissed Fitz and looked at him, her eyes full of love.

"Then whatever happens, happens."
