She was feeling a bit more awake after the shower, so she went downstairs to get a cup of tea and something to eat. Huck was hunched over his laptop on the kitchen counter.

"Good morning Huck" Olivia greeted him, he just looked up and nodded. "What are you working on?"

"I am finishing the set up of your security system, I already made sure our other situation is well. There are a few things I need to explain to you and the place still needs a bunch of things. I can't stay here much longer so we better hurry" After he was finished he went back to the screen.

"Ok just let me eat something and we'll get started" He just nodded again and she busied herself with breakfast.


Fitz got up early that morning, he wanted to call his lawyer and make sure divorce papers were filed before he went into his meeting. Karen had already gone back to school so everything seemed to be getting better, everything but his situation with Olivia, she hadn't been gone for long and he was feeling desperate.

After his meeting he told Cyrus to go to his office to discuss the divorce and VP situation, he had neglected his job enough with personal issues, and if he got reelected despite everything, he had to do his best.

"Cyrus, please take a sit" he said after Cyrus walked in

"I don't like your tone, what did you do" he eyed Fitz suspiciously

"Ok then, right to the point" he paused for a moment "I filed for divorce" he said calmly. Cyrus was in shock for a moment, his face went from white to red to purple in less than a second.

"YOU DID WHAT!" he yelled "Oh god, this is bad, so bad, I can just think of the things she must be planning against you, this is going to be a bloodbath, maybe we can still take it back, we have to handle this with care, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!" Cyrus ranted until he was out of breath. Fitz just waited patiently for him to calm down.

"I thought with Olivia gone this wouldn't come up anymore!" he said with desperation in his voice. With that Fitz stopped being so calm.

"Cyrus, just don't, I won't talk about Olivia with you, that is none of your damn business"

"Are you still in touch with her, is she just waiting, you got some thing going?"

"Again, none of your business, but no, sadly there's nothing, I just can't stay married to Mellie anymore, I already got reelected and she is on board with it so relax please" He said in an attempt to calm Cyrus.

"You expect me to believe this has nothing to do with Olivia?" He said already calming.

"I'm not going to stay on that hell of a marriage just because she left, I won't do it anymore, I decided to be a better man and face things head on, so I'm getting a divorce, can't really say it has nothing to do with Olivia because I would like to be free to be with her if she comes back. It's for the best, my daughter thanked me for it" Fitz finished his speech and waited for Cyrus to take it all in.
"I guess they can't really kick you out of office for getting divorced, was that all you needed to tell me?" He asked actually fearing the answer. Fitz stayed quiet for a moment deciding how to drop the next bomb. He took a deep breath and just went straight to it.

"No, the thing is, we might need a new VP"

That earned him a new tantrum from Cyrus, he just couldn't understand how he could be so okay with Mellie and Andrew being together. Fitz simply told him that after all he still wanted her to be happy, that was probably the best way to get her to stop being a bitch, and if Andrew was the one for her, he would be fine with it.

They talked about how they would handle it with the media once the divorce was final, when they would make it public and what would happen if Andrew decided to leave with her. Fitz wanted to suggest calling Olivia's team, she was gone but they were still pretty qualified and knew all his secrets, but he was afraid Cyrus would have a stroke this time. Luckily for both, Cyrus suggested it, he did see the convenience of them knowing so much already.


After all the touchy subjects were discussed, they went on about more official matters, Fitz had set his mind on doing his best as a father and President to be worthy of Olivia. At 6pm he dropped all the work to go have dinner with his children. Karen was really surprised when she saw him walking into the residence.

"Hey dad, I didn't expect to see you now, I thought you had lots of work, from taking it easy last week" Karen said while she walked to the dinner table. Teddy's nanny was setting him up on his high chair.

"I do have lots of work, but a man's gotta eat and I like you guys better than Cyrus" he said with a smirk.

"That's mean dad" She answered laughing "I asked the cook for fish sticks and mac n' cheese, do you mind? cause we could eat something else"

"I think it's perfect" he assured his daughter with a big smile on his face.

Dinner went great, it was the best meal he'd had in ages, he even got his appetite back. However when he went back to his office all alone, his mind went to Olivia, it was killing him not hearing anything from her. He decided to call her friend office to discuss working with them, he wanted to start ASAP, mainly because he wanted to find out if they knew anything about Olivia.

"Olivia Pope and associates, minus Olivia Pope, what can I help you with" a female voice answered.

"Well I was wondering if you guys were taking clients" Fitz replied

Abby recognized his voice immediately, and almost choked on her Chinese takeout "Mr. President, are you in need of our services?" she asked

"Yes Ms. Whelan I do, could we set up a meeting for tomorrow?"

"Sure, do we go to the White House or are you dropping by?" Abby answered not really caring for formalities, she didn't think it was necessary after everything that had happened.

"You come here, is 11 am ok? we can all eat lunch afterwards" Fitz suggested

"Yeah, it's not like we have that much work these days, may I ask what this is about" she inquired

Fitz took a moment before he answered "I'm getting a divorce"

Abby just sat there in shock at his revelation so he proceeded to end the call

"I will see you tomorrow, goodnight Gabby, I mean Abby" with that he hung up and went back to work.


Olivia and Huck had been working all day on the house, she was exhausted again, but it had to be done. Huck explained her everything about the security system, and they went over the precautions she had to take to not be recognized. She had to change her looks, to match the new identity, her hair and clothes had to be all different, she would miss her perfect outfits but it had to be done. Huck would go shopping for her the next morning while she got her hair all curled up with blonde and red streaks in. She would also be wearing some hideous glasses, it sounded stupid, but all that along with the messy clothes and she totally looked like a different person. She sat on the couch with a glass of her favorite red trying to ease her mind when Huck took a sit across from her and cleared his throat.

"Yes?" she asked

"I will be going back to DC tomorrow afternoon, and I need to make sure you know how to handle everything on your own, so I was thinking you should help me tonight, get your hands dirty, just to make sure you got it all"

He was absolutely right so she nodded and reluctantly put her glass on the coffee table, got up and followed his lead.
