Chapter 6.

She was safe now, she was with him. He promised himself that he was going to take care of her no matter what. What happened in the past, they had to let it go. They had to start fresh and they both knew it.

A few days later, when she was finally out of the hospital, and finally at her home, they decided they needed to talk about some things, about the future, about what would happen next. They sat in the couch avoiding the other's eyes and just stare at the wall, none of them wanted to start talking, the both knew that if they started they wouldn't be able to go back.

Olivia was the brave one; she knew they couldn't stay this way forever. They had to fix things or break up for good. The back and forth was no longer an option. She was not up for it anymore.

- "Do you still love me?" She questioned, finally looking at him. Even if he had told her over and over at the hospital that he loved her, there was still doubt in her.

-"Of course I love you, I've never stop loving you, not one second. I felt in love with you the first minute I saw you years ago, and I never stopped loving you no matter what. You are the most important person in my life. I am sorry I made you doubt that. I will apologize as many times as needed" He responded. It was the truth, she could tell, he was speaking from his heart, his eyes were tearful, he couldn't really believe that she could still doubt so much of their love.

After thinking what he had just said she spoke again.

-"I love you too Fitz, with my heart & soul. I've never felt this way before. I love you. But is love enough? I can't go back to where we were before; I can't go through that once more, it's too painful. To live thinking about you being with your wife while I'm here all alone. Having no right over you, to think that you could leave me anytime if you don't longer want me, I just can't Fitz." The tears in her eyes were just about to fall, but she continued, "Do you still want to be with me? Because you might love me, but do you want us to be together?"

-"More than anything Livvie," Tears were now falling down his cheeks, "I want you, and not in the shadows, not like the other, I am sorry I put you in that place before, but now I promise it will be different. I am divorcing Mellie" He said putting his hand in hers. "I already gave her the papers. She has no option. I had some things on her and she agreed she would divorce if I support her for senate. I am going to be a free man Sweet baby" He concluded. He still had her watch and ring with him. He gave them back to her, he put them in her lap and she only stared at them. If she took them back it would mean she would try it all again, if not it would be a final goodbye.

She still doubted, not of their love, it was never actually the problem, but of herself. Should she take the ring? Should she believe in them and in their forever?

The answer was plain and simple. Yes, she had to. She couldn't live without him. She still hoped for their happy ending. She took her watch and put it on. He took her ring, kissed her hand and put it on her. It meant she was all in just like him. They could finally start planning their life, a future together.

They sealed their unspoken deal with a passionate kiss. They stood in the couch cuddling all the night; they started to fantasize about themselves in 5 years, their house, their family… and what they were avoiding all night suddenly hit them, the family they didn't had the chance to begin, the baby they lost not even a week ago. The little boy or the little girl they could have had. Thinking of what they could have been, what they could have had, made them take a drastic decision. They were both thinking of the same. It had to happen. They had no choice.
