New Update! Enjoy!

8 Months Later

"Olivia I already told you I'm not doing it. Why can't you let this go?" He spoke sternly between clenched teeth.

"I don't understand why it's such a big deal Fitz. Your parents want it so why not" she replied nonchalantly.

Every time she said that his anger intensifies. They've been having a on and off argument all week. "I'm my own person and I refuse to let people dictate my life. I do not want my fiancée to sign a prenup we discussed this already a long time ago." Fitz boomed flaring his hands from the other side of the bedroom.

"Or is it the stupid media that has you holding on to this notation?"

Olivia looked at him and she saw the determination and finality in his eyes. He was serious and she hated to be stubborn. She hated after coming back from their amazing six months adventure, after Fitz had proposed to her after making so many life changing memories with him that they were back to this. Somehow word got out that he'd taken his girlfriend to travel around the world and the media has been labeling her as a gold digger. They had suspicion that it was one of their traveling guiders that they had along the way. She was hurt seeing her face next to Fitz on magazines covers and on gossip news talking about her. As amazing as taking the trip was she'd had to sacrifice her job. Returning from the holidays she had giving them her two weeks' notice and had taking a leap on a once in a lifetime opportunity to do something that she always wanted to do. She took it and she had no regrets about it.

Olivia didn't want to argue anymore since they were at her mother's house in West Palm Beach. Actually everyone was there as the wedding was two days away. They'd set a date for the wedding two months after they'd return from their world travels. That would give them enough time to plan the wedding and got them back into the groove of everything.

Getting up from off of the bed she began straightening herself to go talk to Alexis and Janet. Janet wasn't the problem but Big Jerry was. He couldn't believe that Fitz wasn't going to have her sign a prenup. He was the one who brought it up in the first place and she'd agree with him. This issue had not only caused tension between them but also between father and son. Walking towards the door she heard his voice again but didn't look back.

"Where are you going Olivia? We're not finish here!" He sounded at her.

Olivia rolled her eyes before turning her head to face him. "I'm going downstairs because you need to cool down" she spoke calmly.

Fitz ran one of his hands through his hair, a sign that shows he's exasperated. "I'm not finish discussing this" he spoke in an even tone.

"Well I'm finish" she threw back at him turning her head to continue waking.

"You do not walk away from me!"

"Fitz! I'm tired ok I'm tired arguing. I'm going downstairs!" She yelled back at him before slamming the door.

He sighed and threw himself on the bed wondering why she couldn't see his point. He couldn't allow her to sign a prenup - when he'd proposed to her that early morning he wanted her forever and there weren't any outs for him. As stupid as it may sound he didn't want to draw up some legal document as a safety net in the case of "what ifs?" He meant what he'd told her over a year ago. If she's going to leave him finances would be the last thing on his mind. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temple trying to relieve the pounding headache he was getting. They shouldn't be arguing two days before their wedding.

Stomping down the stairs Olivia rushed to the kitchen to see her mother and soon to be mother in law cutting up vegetables. Probably was for dinner, she thought. She threw herself into one of the barstools dramatically.

Janet and Alexis looked at each other not wanting to come in the lovers quarrel. The two of them loves passionately and also fought passionately. They heard the yelling upstairs and decided to leave well alone. The ladies watched as Olivia took huge breaths to quell her rapidly beating heart.

"Ughhhhhhhh he frustrates me to no end" Olivia said startling both women when she slammed her hand on the counter top.

"Why can't he just do it? I don't see the big deal" she spoke again to no one in particular. Sometimes Fitz could drive her up the wall. She loved him with a fire so intense and sometimes he could provoke her with the same intensity. She closed her mouth remaining quiet as she tries to catch her breath. Fighting with him was such a mind, body and soul workout. He drains her energy because she's not backing down and neither is he. With the wedding being two days away someone needed to back down. The paperwork was already drawn up compliments to Big Jerry.

Janet and Alexis watched as she rested her head onto the cold marble top counter. The two women had discussed the subject but neither wanted to weigh in on the argument. Seeing that if anyone doesn't speak to either of them soon they might not be a wedding in 48 hours. Janet opened her mouth to reason.

"Olivia what are you scared of?" Janet asked startling her out of her thoughts.

She scoffed, "I'm not afraid of anything."

"Livvie, what's really bothering you?" Her mother asked this time. Trying to probe her to open up to them. It still amazes her that she and Janet had grown so close to each other over the past few months. They spoke regularly on the phone and had even made a trip to North Carolina together.

She sighed looking at the two older women in their faces seeing their concern eyes and it made her want to spill her guts. She took two long breaths before replying to them, "it's just that everywhere I turn people are look 'oh she definitely trade up' or 'what does III Legend see in her she's a nobody?' and then we have 'she doesn't even have a job.' She lets out a frustrated sigh before continuing. "It bothers me because it's true. All I have is a camera full of pictures hoping that one day it'll sell. All I have is my dreams and nothing else to offer" she added sadly.

"That's not true, you have everything to offer. Everything that I need and want you offers it to me, Livvie. "

She was startled hearing Fitz voice boomed from behind her. He spoke with such emotions and conviction that she wanted to believe him.

He finally understands why she was adamant in wanting to sign a prenup and he had to convince her that there was no need to. Stepping up closer to her forgetting about his mother and future mother in law in the room. He closed the space in between them bringing his front completely against her exposed back. "Remember how much of a partnership we were on our trip?" He waited for her to reply and he heard a soft "yes." "That's all I want from you baby, you and me against the world. You have to believe that you're my equal you didn't trade up and I didn't trade down. You were made for me and me for you" he spoke into her ears each word he placed special emphasis on to get her to hear him. He needs her to understand him to believe that that they were each other's equal.

Olivia couldn't breathe as the warmth of his body was warming hers. She held her breath as he spoke each word passionately. She remembered the morning that he proposed to her vividly.

Olivia was having the time of her life touring most of Africa and Europe. They'd stuck to countries that were nearby each other so they wouldn't waste too much time traveling rather having more time enjoying the different cultures that the world had to offer. Each country that they'd visit they'd had a unique experience. They were using a travel agency that had provided them with one world traveler that went along with them from the states but they also meet up with local tour guides who'd give them a more in depth tour around parts of their country that many people were privileged to. They'd visit local villages, towns, monuments, unique landscapes, restaurants, waterfalls and any other places that they were advised to go. Not only was the trip one for adventures but Olivia had taken it seriously for her photography portfolio - using her new camera to capture almost every moment. She'd capture the pyramids, the mountains, the people, the animals and every other interesting subject including a goofy Fitz. The two could say that they had some life altering moments.

One time Olivia was severely constipated when she was in Ghana. She hadn't gone for days and Fitz was ready to call off the trip and head back to the states but she'd told him that it wasn't necessary. Instead she went for some holistic medicine that she'd seen a lot of vendors with in the marketplace. Explaining her situation the lady give her two coconut oil liquid looking pills which she took. Fitz on the other hand was freaking out wondering if something terrible would happen to her. She'd assured him that it was coconut and she could tell by the scent. Just to reassure him she give him the pills to smell and he'd agreed that it was coconut. After all he knew the scent from Olivia's hair products. It so happen that the pills worked great and within an hour she rushed to the bathroom and that was that.

The trip was truly amazing she'd went to historical places that had made her emotional. One of them was Robben Island, South Africa a place where Nelson Mandela a revolutionist was held for 27 years. She couldn't have imagined now horrific that experience was for him as she took in the prison cell that had once held a great man.

They were spending their last night in Greece and Fitz had said "let's go out with a bang" so they'd booked a yacht on the Mediterranean. The last few days were very relaxing and luxurious. She was well pampered and drank a lot of expensive wine. Eating the best food and just enjoying being isolated with each other. Except for a captain and hostess they were all alone wrapped up in each other night and day. The night before they'd made sweet sensual love wrapping up an astounding adventure. They would always have so many stories to tell and share with their future kids and grandkids about that one time mommy and daddy tour the world. And they're some pretty spicy things they can tell.

Waking up early the next morning looking through the cabin window to see the sun not yet rising. Since they were on the waters they would experience the sight of a magnificent sunrise without any building or trees to obstruct the view. Fitz had kept Olivia's engagement ring all through the trip. His palm literally itched as he was eager to give it to her. He wanted to give her, her heart's desire and he didn't want anything to come in that way. Fitz has learnt so many things about Olivia on this trip. He'd learn that not only did he find a girlfriend but he'd found his best friend and soul mate. They were partners, learning new things together sharing with each other. They allowed themselves to be engrossed in the different cultures and it was so easy for him to let loose when she was by his side. Music lyrics flowed easily from his pen onto his notepad. She brings out the best in him. He wanted to be a better person because of her. He'd waited and waited for the right moment to ask her for forever. Always keeping the ring on him afraid it would get lost. It has been over a year since they're in a relationship and it was time that they make the final step in saying 'I Do.' Shaking his self out of his thoughts he returned his attention back on Olivia.

"Livvie, wake up baby. It's our final sunrise. Let's go watch it together" he spoke softly against her skin while placing soft kisses on her neck and shoulder.

She moaned not really wanting to get up as he'd tired her out the previous night. But sunrise has become their thing. Every place they'd stayed at they'd woken up to marvel in the wonder and beauty that is the sun making his presence known in the morning. She stretched her body smiling from feeling his warm lips against her achy skin. She slowly sat up and gives him a peck on his lips.

"Good morning handsome" she smiled brightly at him.

He returned her smile already feeling nervous, "Καλημέρα αγάπη μου" he replied in Greek saying Good morning my love. All through the trip he'd made it his duty to learn how to say "Good morning and my love" in each foreign language his accent wasn't perfect but he knew that his Livvie appreciated it.

"You know how to wake a woman up" she said shaking her boobs in front of her and Fitz laughed.

"Let's go before we miss it" he urged her getting up first and pulling on a tee and jeans while she threw on a sun dress and cardigan. He watched as she finger combed her hair before leaving for the bathroom.

"Come and meet me on the deck" he called before leaving the cabin and heading onto of the yacht to the outside deck.

He was pleased that the hostess Zania had did what he'd asked her for. She'd strategically placed rose petals in the shape of a heart on the very front part of the deck. It was large enough for the two of them to sit in.

Shortly after Olivia made her way to the deck to see Fitz sitting in a circle that kind of looked like a heart. She smiled at his thoughtfulness wanting to make their last sunrise special. Taking a seat next to the love of her life she wrapped her arm in in one of his leaning her head on his shoulder. The sun was just making its way up the horizon casting an orangish yellow glow with streaks of purple. She had to remind herself to sit down and enjoy it and not run for her camera to capture it. She had an urge to capture every moment she was experiencing. She chastised herself for her impulse - now wasn't the time to do so as she'd already took a picture of the sunrise two days before. Her camera was loaded with thousands and thousands of pictures. It will be hell for her to go through them all. It's a task and challenge she is willing to accept. Taking her mind out of all things photography she allowed herself to be in the moment with her best friend, her travel buddy, her soul mate. She loved him with an everlasting love and she wanted to be there for him through sick and health, thick or thin - her thoughts were interrupted when Fitz turned to face her.

He couldn't wait anymore sitting there as he watched the sunrise a new day being born he knew it was time, time that he made her his wife. Turning to face her he took in her soft sun kissed skin as the rays from the sun shined on her casting gold specks of light to fall onto her curly black hair. Taking her face in his to get her attention he could already feel his emotions rising to the brim.

She gives him a small smile watching his face display so many emotions. For some reason her heart begun to beat fast.

He finally opens his mouth after getting some control over his emotions, "you know how much I love you right?"

She smiled and replied, "I know and I love you with my everything Fitz."

He exhaled deeply realizing that he had nothing to worry about. This was the woman who wanted him for him and not for any other add-ons he could offer. He took a deep breath and decided to lay his heart on the line.

"I know these past few months we've dealt with so many problems. But you know what? It made us stronger; it made you a better woman and me a better man. We've had our ups and downs but I cherish them all because you were by my side. I don't want to go another day without telling the woman that I love, my soul mate and my very best friend how much I love and care for her." Rising slowly on shaky legs as the sun continued to beam on them casting a glow around their bodies.

"Olivia Carolyn Pope if there's nothing else that I'm sure about" he places his left knee onto the ground and reached into his pocket. He watched as tears are already running down her cheeks. He continued once the black box he was carrying for months was in the palm of his hand, "if there's nothing else I'm sure about I'm sure about wanting to spend the rest of my life besides you - taking care of you and loving you. Loving you and being there for you when you can't even to stand talking to me. I want to be there always for you Livvie. Will you make me even happier by being my wife?" He asked choking it out before he'd become too emotional.

Olivia's entire body shook as she screamed, "Yes yes yes. I would love to be your wife Fitz." Tears streamed down her face as she launched herself at him, taking him to the floor before kissing him fervently on the lips. Since it was till early the staff wouldn't be up as yet.

She kissed him softly telling him how much she loves him and she couldn't wait to be his wife. She sat up and took off her cardigan and sundress, "make love to me Fitz" she breathes her plea barely a whisper.

Fitz smiled never seeing someone as beautiful and captivating as her. He will love her until his dying breath. Rising his body to sit up as well he kissed her again on her luscious lips. Pulling her left hand to his face he continued his soft kisses on each finger paying special attention on her ring finger. "After you wear this" he said breaking the kiss to open the black box hiding the treasure.

Olivia gasped when she saw the ring it was magnificent. She instinctively stretched out her left hand to him. "It's so beautiful" she spoke in wonderment.

Fitz had chosen to customize the CARTIER DESTINÉE SOLITAIRE. The ring was set in platinum and micropaved with brilliantly-cut 4 carats diamonds. It had taking him weeks to decide on the right band but he was comfortable with his choice as Olivia wasn't an overly flashy person. Taking the ring out of the box he placed it slowly on her fingers. Both of their eyes were rested on the ring as the diamond shone in the sun light casting beautiful reflection around their joined hands.

Olivia looked from the diamond to the man that had giving it to her, she was feeling the need to convey her emotions to him. Showing him how much she loves and appreciate every part of him. "Make love to me" she spoke softly. "Make love to me Fitz" her voice a little higher strong with emotions.

Fitz captured her lips and kissed her with newfound love and adoration. His hands caressed her already exposed breasts as he lay her down on to the deck. He removed his shirt and returned to kissing every inch of her exposed skin. He kissed the valley between her breasts and made his way all the way down to her belly button. He removed her underwear kissing up each leg worshipping her body. Finally making his way to her core he took his sweet time tasting her and swirling his tongue around her bundle of nerves. He did all of the things that he knew she loved. He cherished the taste of her as she came all over his mouth. It was the sweetest thing he'd experienced in his life and he would never grow tire of it. Ridding himself of his own clothes he joined his body with hers. They allowed their bodies just to be one as was their souls. They moved to a new found beat one of commitment and promises. A promise to be with each other through thick and thin, sickness and healthy, riches and poverty. This was their forever and they clung onto each other as their orgasm ricocheted through their body simultaneously. They look down at their join body and at the surrounding blue waters. This was their love open and abounding with no room or space that remained hidden or untouched by the other. Their souls were bare for each other to see.

Tears streamed down her face as the memory that only happened two months ago flashed through her mind. This was the man that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. She didn't care about what people may think about their union because she knows the truth. She knows that he loves her for her and they were equals. She wasn't lacking and that made her feel better about herself. She turned around in his arms and hugged him tightly, "I'm sorry we don't have to do it. I just want to be happy and you make me very happy. I'm so sorry baby" she cried into his chest.

Fitz stroked her back, "its ok Livvie. I love you. I love you so much" he reassured her softly. He was happy that they could finally put this behind them.

Janet and Alexis had left the kitchen to give them privacy thankful that they'd seem to resolve their issue.

After a few moments she leaned back her head to look into his blue eyes. The pair of eyes that always seems to calm her. "I just can't wait to be your wife" she spoke genuinely happy. They weren't planning a big wedding but it was still the wedding of her dreams. She couldn't wait to become Mrs. Olivia Grant.

"And I can't wait to become your husband" he replied cheerfully resting his forehead on hers. They stayed like that for a moment until they heard footsteps and looked up to see Big Jerry staring at them with papers in his hands.

AN: Hello I know took me long enough to update but I'm here. So the couple had an argument. Personally I think they could do without the prenup but I'm sure some of you are like they should do it. But to me Fitz won't be a prenup kinda guy. Remember he's a hopeless romantic - actually I prefer to say hopeFUL romantic. LOL. So you got some tid bits about the trip and that's how it will be. Later down in the story you may find out something else that happen but I'm not going into the deets of it for an entire chapter. Also, don't worry about Livvie's job situation she's following her dream. Can you believe that we have a wedding to plan? And it will be next chapter? Wooooo, Can you believe they're FINALLY getting married? HAHA! Did you like the proposal? I hope so. Lastly what the hell is going on with Big Jerry? Oh Oh. Thank you for reading and reviewing. XO.
