Chapter 7
Three weeks have passed and Olitz is back in their happy place. Things have been pretty quiet around OPA/White House. Things are too quiet and things are about to get strange…..
WASHINGTON MONUMENT – WEDNESDAY – 8PM
"Sir, the President and Ms. Pope is in a relationship."
Rowan sighs. "These two just refuse to stay away from each other."
"Sir?"
"I know all about their relationship Ballard. Your job is done. Shut down your surveillance, I'll take over from here."
"Sir, are you sure—
"I really don't want to ask you twice."
"I will shut it down tonight sir."
OPA – Thursday 8AM
"What have we come up with for the Wilson's case? Abby, what have you found?"
"The man is a whore. I mean any walking vagina, he gets a hard on. He needs to resign and check into therapy –
Quinn comes running in a panic. "Sorry, I'm late. Traffic was crazy but I grabbed everyone something to eat for everyone. Liv I got you the Lox and bagel…" She starts to hand out the food and Liv accepts the food a little annoyed with her tardiness but she won't hold it against her. Everyone begins to eat their mini breakfast and continue to talk about trying help Elliott Wilson and his cheating ways.
Liv drops her sandwich on the table and heads straight for the bathroom, closes and locks the door and begins to throw up her Lox and bagel.
Of course her team ran after her confused as to what was happening and then they hear her. Everyone's appetite completely destroyed…well except for Huck. Abby was the first to knock.
"Liv, are you alright? What's going on?"
Toilet flushing. This was not her week and she was completely exhausted before her day even began. This stomach flu she had refused to go away and she was becoming quite irritated the longer she was sick but she would put on a front for her team to get through these last few cases, then she would leave early today. She was going to get some medicine and sleep the next three days away.
"I'm fine. I'll be out in a sec, go back to work!"
The team looked around at each other, she had been looking pale and uneasy for the past two weeks but no one knew how to tell her to go see a doctor. Everyone turned to go back to the conference except Huck, he had a feeling but he wasn't quite sure if Liv even knew herself.
Liv rinsed her face, checked herself in the mirror and figure she looked ready and walked out and right into Huck.
"You're back with him."
"Huck….I don—"
"I know. You have been happy but you look sick all the time. Have you went to the doctor?"
"For what? I'm perfectly healthy. I don-." Liv realized what Huck was trying to say. "Huck I can assure you that I am NOT –"
"I worry about you Liv. You make mistakes when you are with him. Go to the doctor. I'll be right here if you need me."
He turned and walked back into the conference room.
I am not pregnant. I can't be I mean ….ugh I can't deal with this right now.
Liv walks to her office and checks her calendar. 3 MONTHS! Ella's christening, oh my gosh. So much stuff has happened she didn't realize she missed her period for three months. She did not need this right now. What was she going to do? Her life was continuously getting turned upside down, first her sister coming back which she was grateful for and wouldn't change a thing about that. Now her on again off again relationship with Fitz was adding a little something extra in her life she wasn't prepared for.
Before she jumped to any conclusions, she called her doctor and told her she needed to see her within the hour. Her doctor was an old college friend whom she helped and had no problem putting her on the schedule same day. Once she hung up the phone, she gathered her things to head to the doctor's office.
"I'll be back in a few hours." This is all Liv said as she walked through the conference room to the elevators. Everyone just stared at her wondering what call had she gotten but not thinking too much about it because she did it all the time.
DOCTOR'S OFFICE – Thursday 10AM
Liv arrived at the doctors had been sent straight to a room where they gave her gown and told her the doctor will be in shortly.
The door opened and in walked her college roommate, Dr. Virginia Miram. "Liv! It's so great to see you. Although, I am wondering why you needed to see me so urgently "here" of all places. What's going on?"
"I'm three months late and I need to find out as soon as possible and we need to keep this between us please."
"Say no more, let's get started and I will have you out of here in no time."
A half hour later Dr. Miram walked in and said, "Congratulations Liv, you're almost 13 weeks."
Olivia sat there stunned, shocked, and on the verge of tears. FUUUCCCCKKK! What is she going to do now. She got up and began to dress immediately, she needed to be by herself and think. She needed to plan her next move.
"Liv, I know this is shocking, but there are options for you should you decide not to keep the baby. We have adoption options available as well as abortion. But you should think about everything that is available to you. Do you-"
"GiGi, thank you so much for helping me. I need to get out of here and think about this. I don't know what I am going to do right now but I promise I will let you know."
Dr. Miram began to scribble on a prescription pad. "Liv at least take the prenatal pills until you decide. Also, your window for termination is closing should you choose to go that route. I will be here if you need me."
Olivia simply managed a tight smile, grabbed the piece of paper from her and left. She did not know what she going to do but she went back to work despite the fact her body was telling her to go home and sleep. The kid was already taking over and she had no control over it.
Starbucks – LOBBY OF OPA – 12:15PM
Olivia was like a zombie in the lobby of the building that contained her office, OPA. She took a minute to herself before getting on the elevator. Her day could not get crazier than what it already was.
She hit the button for the 5th floor in the elevator minutes later to go finish work and then go home.
Jake Ballard decided to not listen to Rowan and followed her today and was glad he did because he would want to know this bit of information. He pulled his cell phone and dialed.
"Sir, I know you told me shut down the assignment—"
"Agent when I tell you something once, I really don't like to repeat myself."
"But sir, Olivia Pope is pregnant."
"What?"
"She is pregnant sir."
"I need you to bring in Ms. Pope."
"Excuse me?"
"Never mind, I will handle this myself." Rowan hung up and begin to gather his things. This visit was personal.
OPA – Thursday 12:30PM
Olivia was walking back into her office ready when Abby was running towards her screaming her name. This cannot be good from the way she sounded. I just need a minute dammit!
"Liv!"
She picked up her pace and went to the conference room and turned to the TV that had Mellie, Fitz and baby Teddy on the screen and the words moving across the screen made her choke. Well her day went from crazy to fucked up in a matter of seconds.
"America's baby, Theodore Grant is NOT the President Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III SON!"
Like clockwork Liv's phone went off and she knew it was Cyrus calling her.
"Liv get here NOW!"
"Calm down Cyrus. I am on my way" she said as she was grabbing her purse and jacket heading out the office her way to the White House.
WHITE HOUSE – 1PM
Olivia arrives at the White House and goes to Fitz's office where Cyrus is on the phone yelling, Fitz is sitting at the desk just as calm, and Mellie yelling at the staff to do something to shut off the news crews.
"Everyone OUT! Mellie, Cyrus, Liv stay."
The staff filed out of the President's office without comment and closed the door behind them. Olivia sat down on the couch, while Cyrus paced back and forth and Mellie standing there is stunned silence. Fitz began to laugh until it became slightly manic.
Cyrus looked worried. "Sir, are you alright?"
Fitz was now red from laughing so hard. It took him a while but when calmed down, he got up from his desk, walked over to Mellie and hugged her. "Thank you so much Mellie!"
Cyrus and Olivia looked at each other confused. Fitz turned to Liv and had the happiest smile on his face. "Do you NOT see the big picture here? No? I'll explain. Mellie, Cyrus, have a seat next to Liv. Well since there is speculation about Teddy's conception, we just have to do a DNA test. When it comes back that I am NOT the father I will make a public statement about my hurt and betrayal blah blah and then I will announce the one thing that I have been asking you for over a year now, A DIVORCE."
