Cyrus held the box in his arms as he walked into the house. He was still in shock from what had happened. All the time and all the work he had put into that man and this was how it ended. Fired! He had not planned on this happening. As he entered the door, he breathed a sigh of relief. Michael was no where to be found. He just didn't feel like dealing with him right now. Getting married to save his ass , that was a joke. All he wanted to do was get an annulment . Cyrus went over to the bed and sat down his box. Spying the picture of him and James, he took it in his hands and started to cry.

"You always said that I had no soul, you were right, honey." He said to the picture. "Today that quality cost me everything. I not only lost a job, but I lost my best friend. I want you to understand that I don't have any feelings for Michael. There has only been one person that I loved and that was you. You were the one to allow me to be who I was. You gave me the confidence to come out and love whoever I wanted. You gave me all the support I needed to make some of my dreams come true. We both gave our love to our little angel. I miss you so much and I wish you could make my pain go away. But I have to say that I am not down and out. I can't be because I am the dragon and the pit bull. I am no one's bitch baby and that includes Fitzgerald Thomas Grant's as well. I will return and take my rightful place at the Master's side once again. I will not be defeated." Cyrus put down the picture and then picked up his phone.

"Mellie? It's Cyrus Beane. Yes, I know it's funny talking to you too. We need to get together because I hear we both have a few issues in common. I think we need to team up. I'll let you know the time and place." Cyrus ended the call and then he had a look of determination on his face. He would be back and Elizabeth North would pay.

Mellie made her way into the hospital room as she spied the man in bed. There was the man who was once the second most powerful man in the country. Andrew was finally sitting up and working with his speech therapist.

"Hiiiiii hunee." He smiled as she leaned down to kiss him.

"Andy, I need you right now. I have just had the worst day." Mellie sighed as she threw herself on him. He may not have been able to talk much, but she could be hugged by him and that is just what she needed right now.

Abby started to think. It was all about second chances. Olivia had finally decided to give Fitz a chance again and they were determined to make it work. It would be a long hard road for them. First, there would be a very messy divorce, and then Olivia and Fitz would be vetted by a nation as a couple. They could either embrace her or make her the whore who broke up his marriage. But she didn't want to think about work right now.

Yes, Leo had been fun. He had been adventurous in bed and she liked that. There just wasn't any sparks or magic between them. Olivia had taken a chance and went back to the love of her life. No matter what the cost. Maybe it was time for Abby to do the same. She took out her phone and looked at the pictures of her and David. David did love her, maybe he still did.

"David, hi, it's Abby. You wouldn't believe what happened today . Hey, are you doing anything later? Great, why don't we get together. I think there are a few things that we need to talk about." Abby ended the call and then let a smile come to her face. She would give him a second chance.

As they entered the dark bedroom,Fitz backed Olivia near the bed. He took his hands and moved the cardigan off of her petite body. Next the light of the room revealed that she hadn't put on a bra and Fitz could see her dark nipples poking through the thin fabric of the tank top. He took his hand and took down her straps. Before he knew it, she was standing before him nude. Her chocolate skin gleamed as he breathed on her body. Next he moved his mouth to her nipples , taking tiny bites that made her throw her head back passionately and moan Opening her legs, she could feel his erection poking her in the stomach.

"I've missed you, Fitz." She sighed. "You are the only man who completes me."

Fitz moved his mouth from her nipples and then took his fingers and pushed them into her folds . With each move he made her squirm as he brought her closer to orgasm.

"Mine," he groaned. "Tell me Livvy, who does this belong to? "

Her head tossed back she exclaimed loudly. "Yours, only yours, Fitz!"

"I need to have you, but you are so tight. Come on Livvie, Come on Sweet Baby! Cum for me." Fitz said as he pushed harder. "Open up and let me in."

Olivia opened her legs and wrapped her legs around his waist. Her hands moved down his well defined chest and her manicured hands left claw marks on his body. Fitz moved his hips and then inserted into her core. After a long time, their bodies were one again. She collapsed on his chest after they had made love in his bed.

By the time they had finally finished making love, the early morning sun had risen on the Capitol. Sun streamed in through the drapes of the President's room. Olivia looked over with a smile until she saw that he was gone from the bed. She then saw the clock and it said 8:30. On the pillow was a note

My dearest Livvy,

I wish I could have stayed in bed with you all day, but unfortunately with everything that happened yesterday , I had to take care of business. A country can't run by itself. I decided to let you sleep in and arranged for breakfast to be brought up the minute you woke up. You can't live on wine and popcorn alone and that is ending today. Please let me know when you wake up so I can talk to you. We do have some things to discuss .

I love you , remember that.

Fitz

Olivia pulled on his Navy shirt and then sat down to her breakfast. In a small vase, was a rose . She could have sworn that the rose was right from the Rose Garden. She lifted it to her nose and closed her eyes. She could imagine him taking a pair of shears and cutting one of the fresh blooms just for her.

Her reverie was broken by his baritone voice. "I was told that you were awake." He smiled and then went to her side. Fully dressed in one of his suits, he sat on the bed and gave her a kiss. Her mouth was woken up by the embrace of his lips.

"But the press corps?" Reality started to come back to Olivia.

"No one knows you are here, except the kitchen staff and Charlotte. I can find you some clothes to wear when you are ready to go . But please Olivia, don't let last night be a bunch of empty promises. I know we have a lot of talking to do and a lot of plans to make. Why don't we make a date for tonight? Your place, then we can eat and talk where we won't be disturbed. " Fitz suggested.

"I can't really cook that well." Olivia admitted.

"Let me take care of everything. I might even cook myself. You might as well get used to my cooking skills. I don't like to brag but I am pretty good at it. I might even give you a few lessons if you are good. When we go to Camp David, I don't want to have to do all the cooking." Fitz laughed.

"Camp David?" Olivia was surprised.

"We can strategize, be away from the press, and remember what I said while Jake was in the bunker when he was blamed for Jerry's death. I said that when this was all over, we would return to Camp David. " Fitz said simply. "We can have it all, Livvy."

Olivia thought in her head. How much could they really have.
