A week Later

Millie POV

Fitz had told the kids about his son. They knew things between us were not good, and they loved Olivia and they were ecstatic to meet their new brother. We were at the ranch it was Friday morning we were all anxious about the arrival of the semi newest member to the Grant family since he was a year older than Jackson he wasn't really the newest edition.

"Now you know you can't tell anybody about him, not even your best friends" Fitz warned.

"Yeah dad we know you told us a million times" Karen said sassily. He smiled

"I just want to make sure you guys remembered".

"We got it dad". she laughed

"When do they get here"? Jerry asked

"They will be here soon". Fitz stated

God all this talk about this baby was making me crazy. I hated this baby more than I hated Olivia Pope, I even hated this baby more than Fitzgerald Grant. I didn't even know him yet but I hated him, because I felt like he was the reason Fitz stopped loving me even though deep down inside I knew that wasn't true. I snapped out of my thoughts. "I'm going to put Jackson down for a nap" I said as I lifted Jackson up from his play pen and headed up the stairs.

"Bye mom & Jack" the kids yelled.

No response from Fitz.

Olivia POV

I was really nervous about this whole trip, I had never been away from Noah for more than 1 day and he would be gone for 3 days. I didn't want to go through with this but Fitz promised me that if I didn't then all hell would break loose, and I knew he meant it. I was not sure how Noah would react to meeting Karen & Jerry. It took him time to adjust to strangers, expect Fitz he instantly adjusted to him which took me by surprise.

I over packed Noah's bag making sure he had everything. We were supposed to be there at 3 and it was now 10:45 am, we were leaving at 11. I was dressed but Noah was not and he was watching TV. "Poots!" I yelled "Come Here".

He came running in 5 minutes later. "When I call you please come right away Noah" I scolded him.

"Otay sawwie mommy." he said as he did the little puppy dog eyes and I couldn't stay mad at him for too long. I laid out his clothes and gave him a bath the night before so all I had to do was get him dressed. I dressed him in a white t-shirt, a blue and white letterman jacket some blue jeans, some white concords and a white and blue colts beanie.

"I don wanna go mommy" he said

"Why not?" I asked

"you not be there" he replied

"Aww Noah bear you'll be okay, daddy will be there remember?"

"Oh yea daddy!" he smiled

I grabbed a couple of snacks and drinks, packed the iPads and some headphones, grabbed Noah's hand and headed out the door. We then loaded up into the black SUV truck.

"Good morning Ms. Pope" the driver said

"Good morning" I replied.

I gave Noah one of the iPad's put on one of his favorite shows and stared out the window for the remainder of the ride.

3 1/2 hours later

We pulled up to the ranch it looked bigger and prettier than it did the last time I saw it. My stomach was doing flips and back flips, I was so nervous about what the kids would think of me or of Noah. The car stopped and I unbuckled my seat belt, I went around the other side and gently picked up a now sleeping Noah and shifted him around on my shoulders. I packed up the iPad and grabbed his bag from the trunk. I swallowed the lump that was in my throat and I rang the doorbell.

Fitz POV

*Ding Dong* the doorbell chirped My heart was beating 3 times faster than normal, I had no idea why I was so nervous I had met Noah before, maybe it was because I missed Olivia and I would get to see her. It was hard being mad at her because I missed her scent, her touch and her feel so much. Karen and Jerry ran down the stairs which snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Well geeze dad are you going to keep them waiting" Karen said excitedly. She opened the door "OLIVIA" she screamed which made Olivia jump which made Noah wake up "Great" Olivia muttered

"Sorry" Karen apologized. Noah who was now crying and looking around to see where he was. Olivia rubbed his back to calm him down and he rubbed his eyes and fell back asleep on her shoulder.

"It's okay Karen you didn't know" Liv Laughed "I'm just glad he went back to sleep" "What a way to make your first impression on someone, by scaring them" Karen sighed "It's Okay Karen, he probably won't remember it" I told her. "here" I reached out to Liv to take him. She hesitated kissed him on the cheek and handed him over carefully so she wouldn't wake him again.

I took him to my room and gently laid him down on my bed I looked at him for a while

before returning downstairs. Olivia, Jerry and Karen were chatting it up like old buddies. "Well I should go, here's his bag I have directions for how to dress him, what he eats, his medicine, his favorite books and toys and his favorite movies, I packed the iPad if he gets cranky" she said "let me say goodbye to him" she walked up the stairs and I followed her.

"he can't sleep in here, he might roll of the bed" she instructed

"he'll be fine it's a big bed" I huffed.

"no I'm not leaving here until you put him in a secure bed" she said coldly

"He is not going to fall off Olivia" I raised my voice

"Fitz just put him in Jackson's play pen" Millie butted in. where did she come from? I thought.

"Hi Olivia, nice to see you again" she gave a fake smile

"You too Millie, and thank you" Liv smiled.

"Fine you can leave now" I said coldly as I picked him up and brought him back downstairs to lay him in the play pen.

Olivia walked right passed me and said her good byes to the kids and Millie before leaving the house. Karen came over to where I was watching Noah sleep.

"He's so cute Dad" she smiled,

"He looks so peaceful" "I know" I laughed

"I wonder if he'll be the same once he wakes up and Olivia isn't here" I blurted out

"I'm sure he'll be fine he's around family" she smiled. She always knew how to encourage someone.

1 hour later

It was now 4 pm we were watching some little kiddie movie that Jackson and Jerry wanted to watch. Millie went to go visit her friends so it was me and the kids. Noah was still asleep. Jerry forgot that Noah was still sleep and he tickled Jack who screamed in delight. I quickly looked over to the play pen and saw him moving around. I expected a cry and from the looks on Karen and Jerry's face so did they.

Instead he called out "mommy , mommy were you?". Karen ran over to the play pen and I followed because I knew an unfamiliar face might scare him. He looked at her confused, and he was about to cry when he saw me and he smiled and reached his arms out for me. I picked him up and he started playing with my cheeks and my nose.

"Hey there" I said to him "long time no see" He smiled

"Yesh who she?" he asked

"I'm Karen your sister!" she beamed. He looked at me and I nodded

"sisser?" he asked

"Yea, I'm your sister" she laughed

"hmm otay, were mommy?" he asked

"She is not here, its just you, me, your sister, and your brothers" I said

"bruders?"

"Yea we'll go meet them now"

I put him down on the ground and we walked back into the living room where Jerry and Jackson still were.

" these are your two brothers Jerry and Jackson" I announced. He looked at them up and down at first before he gave them a small smile and a wave and Jerry reached for his hand and shook it.

Karen asked if she could pick him up, and he hesitated before saying yes. She took him over to the couch.

"wanna watch a movie" she asked him

"Yesh, wat one?" he asked "how about the SPONGEBOB MOVIE" she tickled him and he laughed with delight

"Yay! me like sponbob" he laughed.

It was the best site a man could ever ask for, him with all of his kids watching TV and eating junk food . I was truly a happy man. Well that was until Millie came back home.

Karen POV

I was so happy that my little brother was here. When dad told us about him I was thrilled. I knew him and mom were not happy, I knew this for years they were cold and distant. I knew that he liked Olivia I wasn't sure how much but I could tell in the way he looked at her that there was something more going on. I didn't know they had a child and I was a little hurt that he didn't tell us about Noah, but when I found out that he didn't know, I wondered why Olivia would keep him a secret.

I made a mental note to ask her that later. For now I would just enjoy the time I had with my little brother. He was sitting in my lap giggling at the TV. He was so cute, every time he laughed, his little dimples perked up. I would see dad stare at him periodically trying to study him.

"Dad he's so cute" I smiled

"Yeah of course he is cute, I'm cute" he laughed

"Ew dad, no your old" I cracked up

"Whoa that was un called for!" he smiled.

"Hey guys I'm home" my mom called from the kitchen. Jerry and Jack ran into the kitchen "Hey mom" Jerry gave her a hug.

"Mommie" Jackson giggled. They were such mama's boys I laughed to my self. "Where's your dad, sister a-and uh brother?" she stuttered on the last part

"Their in the kitchen watching a movie"

"Come on mom, come meet him, he's great" Jerry beamed

"Yea, I'm sure he is" she said sarcastically.

She picked up Jackson and walked into the living room where we sat watching the movie.

"Hey kar, hey hunny" she said to me and dad

"hi mom" I said "hey" dad said not looking at her. She looked at little hurt but she brushed it off

"Well hello there" she smiled at Noah. He looked at dad for confirmation and he nodded.

"Hi" he smiled back "

I'm Millie, your daddy's wife" she emphasized the last part. Dad shot her a mug

"Otay" he said before dismissing her and turning back to the TV

"So do you like it here?" she asked

"Yesh it be big" he gawked. I laughed at his grammar

"You mean it is big" she corrected him.

He stared at her for a minute "Um ok" he said again dismissing her. I kept wondering why she was talking to him, it was clear he was trying to pay attention to the TV.

"You'll be spending a lot more time here you know" she smiled.

"Millie" dad glared.

"What I'm just trying to talk to him" she laughed. She was so dumb at times I thought. "Mom we're watching TV" I said

"Alright, I see I'm not wanted here" she smiled and walked off.

Livi POV

I really missed Noah it was weird not having him here with me and I had no clue on what to do with myself. I decided that I would call Fitzgerald just to check on my son and nothing more.

*Ring Ring*

"Hello?" God his voice sounded so good I thought.

"Uh hi, um can I speak to Noah"

"Yea sure hold on." I heard him call Noah over.

"Hewwo?" Noah gushed

"Hi Poots, its mommy"

"Mommy, I misted you" he exclaimed

"I missed you too baby, are you having fun?" I asked

"Yesh, I meets my sisser & my bruders, and mickey" he said

"Who's mickey?"

"Mickey, Kawen & Jewey mommy" he said

"Oh you mean Millie" I laughed. He was truly funny.

"Yesh, but me go bye bye mommy, Sponbob on."

Before I could say goodbye the line went dead. It was good to hear his voice, I didn't know how I would get by these 2 days without him, he was really the best thing that happened to me.
