Mellie sat there in the chair next to his bed. She was waiting for Fitz to show up. Even though she loathed her husband, she could not be alone when the doctors told her what was wrong with Andrew.

Being next to Andrew like this brought back memories of Fitz. She remembered being scared for her husband's life. She remembered sitting by the man she used to be in love with. Mellie still loved Fitz, they had been married for so long how could she not, but she wasn't in love with him anymore.

As soon as Mellie saw Fitz's face she jumped up and walked over to him "what happened? Is he okay?" Fitz sounded very worried.

She felt guilty knowing that she had kissed her husband's best friend, one of the few people that he actually cared about. But it wasn't just a kiss, she was in love with him which made the guilt even worse. Mellie couldn't help but wonder if he felt this guilt when he first started sleeping with Olivia. She knew he wasn't guilty now, he flaunted his affair in front of Mellie every chance he got. When she thought of this she was reminded of why she wanted to be with Andrew and why she was so in love with him.

Andrew wasn't a person who would cheat on her. Andrew knew everything about her and could read her like Fitz never could. He was kind and caring and knew all the right things to say at the right moment.

Mellie looked up at Fitz "He's fine. Let's just wait for the doctor"

Right as she said that the doctor walked in. They woke up Andrew to tell him and they asked Fitz and Mellie to step out. "No" Andrew exclaimed "Mellie stays" Mellie's head was pounding thinking about all of the things that could be wrong with Andrew. Fitz stepped out with a curious and concerned look on his face.

Mellie held her breath. The doctor started to speak, "the heart attack was bad but it's nothing that can't be fixed with some medication" Andrew looked over at her and smiled at the good news. "you will be able to go home tonight."

Mellie flashed a smile back at Andrew. She wanted to be back in that moment in California, when he asked her to dance and then he kissed her. "Why couldn't it be like that all of the time?" Mellie thought. Her mind raced to Fitz. Andrew had kicked him out of the room, they were going to have to explain this to him. She didn't care though, elections were two days away and it was too late for him to find a new vice president.

When the doctors left Mellie turned to Andrew, "I want to tell him about us"

Andrew looked back at her "Let's tell him then" Mellie was surprised at how well he took that. She figured that he would try to talk her down and tell her not to do it "Why don't we tell him now? The sooner the better" she suddenly became ecstatic and nervous enough to pass out at the same time.

Mellie laughed "how about we wait until you're home and strong enough to take any abuse that comes your way"

"That's fine" Andrew said "whatever you think is best." Mellie was glad to know she had someone that would put in as much effort as she did.

She walked over to Andrew and ran her fingers through his hair "I love you" she said in a soft, gentle voice as she bent over and kissed him

Andrew looked passionately into her eyes "I love you too baby"
