Chapter 7.

The last days had been unbelievable long, a lot had happened and they could only rescue one thing, and it was that they decided to be together, and only that helped them to go through everything.

They had decided to give themselves another chance. They finally believed that they deserved to be happy. She was starting to open up to him and he was trusting in her again.

Mellie had finally agreed to divorce Fitz and she had just signed the papers. He was going to be free for real and he had to tell Olivia the news. He grabbed his phone, asked for a secure line and dialed Liv's number. It rang once and she picked up.

-"Olivia Pope."

-"Hi Sweet Baby, how are you?" He says.

-"Hi, I miss you, I feel like we haven't talked in weeks!" She started complaining. The truth was that they had talked just two days ago. They had been so busy with work, that they could only text each other, no phone calls, no seeing each other, nothing but some texts…

-"I know, I miss you too, so bad! That is one of the reasons I am calling. I need to see you, I need to talk to you, I can't do it over the phone, so I am going to your place tonight, what do you think?"

- "You know it is too risky, you can't do that," she started getting in her fixer mode but he cut her immediately.

-" I can and I will, I need you, so I just need to know if you are going to be at home by about eleven"

She rolled her eyes, "Okay…Yes, I will be there by that time. See you then. I gotta go" Not waiting for his answer, she hung up.

It was late night and Olivia was already at home, reading some work stuff, waiting for Fitz to show up. It was almost midnight and she was starting to think that he wasn't going. She was so concentrated in her work that the sudden sound of a knock on the door made her jump. She knew it would be Fitz. Who else would be at her door so late at night? She looked through the peephole and it was him, she was right. She opened the door and greeted him with a light but passionate kiss. After they broke he entered and went sitting on the couch. He had an envelope with him. He handed it to Liv and asked her to open it. She had no idea what could it be, and when she opened it and realized what it was, she was taken aback; she almost couldn't believe that it was real.

"How? When? What did you have to do?"

He looked at her with a big smile on his face and started telling her all

One day before.

He was in the bedroom when Mellie walked in. She had a very familiar envelope with her. She sat down on the bed next to him and started talking.

"You really love her, don't you? "She asked him and he nodded "You know, when it all started I believed it was only for sex, but as days passed, I knew it was more than that, you had changed, you were different, you were… happier… I didn't want to see it, I chose not to look and ignore it," she took a deep breath and continued, "I didn't want to admit that I had lost you way before she came into our lives,- you were still there, next to me, just because you didn't know better than us, and I let it be that way because I loved you- and I still do. But I know that you will never look at me the same way you look at her; I know you will never fight for me as you fought for her and that you will never love me, and I deserve more than that, I deserve someone who is the same way you are with her. I understood that now. So, I'm letting you go, this is me letting you go; Letting you being happy, even if it's not with me, even if it is with her. We spent over twenty years together, I don't want this to mean nothing to you, and I want you to be sure that everything I did was out of love. But you are right in doing this. Life is short and we deserve better than each other, I'll get into politics as I always wanted, I'll run and win, and I hope to have your support. With the kids you can have full custody of them, I do love them in my own way, but you are better parent and I know you will take really good care of them."

Fitz was speechless; he would have never expected to hear all this from his wife. He was even suspicious of her. But it all went away when he looked into her eyes; he saw a few tears forming and no lies. He kissed her cheek and thanked her. He told her that she had his full support, and that she would be able to see the kids whenever she wanted. It was going to be a friendly divorce and they both hoped for a friendly future.

Now

She was staring at him, It was hard to believe it, She thought she was dreaming. They were going to be able to be together in the light, finally. This was their chance to finally be happy and not being afraid of it. She after the news could only kiss him and wish for the best. But an annoying sound made her go back to reality. Her phone was loudly ringing. She picked up and it was Huck; he had finally found out who was behind Olivia's kidnapping. The answer was shocking. It had been Charlie; under Cyrus orders… she hung up and looked at Fitz who was next to her.

-"Sweet Baby, I am so sorry. We will figure it out will not let him hurt you again. He has to pay and I will make sure he will." He angrily said putting her into his embrace and kissing her forehead.

It was for not believing, they took one step forward and two steps back. They had fixed the Mellie situation and now there was a worse one: Cyrus; and that could mean anything.
