AN: Hey guys here's a new update. Hope you enjoy it! I must say I'm getting sad that I'm close to the finish line with this story :( I'm still considering a sequel but IDK as yet. Enjoy!

48 Hours Later

After being surrounded and cooed upon by first time grandparents, aunt and great cousins Iya was on her way home for the first time.

Honk honk - the sound of impatient drivers.

"What the hell is wrong with these people? They're so aggressive" Fitz spoke agitatedly keeping his eyes firmly glued to the road as he drove home.

Olivia tried not to snicker at him. She looked back in the rear view mirror and saw her mother and mother in law's face contorted to keep back their laughers too. In the middle of them was a sleeping Iya in her car seat.

Olivia reaches over a hand to Fitz's leg to relax him by squeezing it. He was extra protective since they'd left the hospital. Double checking and rechecking the car seat over and over until his mother yelled on him that it was secure. Now he was on the interstate driving ten miles below speed limit. Of course other drivers were frustrated by his slowness but to him he was protecting the most precious cargo. She couldn't blame.

She was happy she was finally going home, even though it was only 48 hours of hospitalization. She was just happy to be out of there and back in her comfortable home despite feeling nervous about being a first time mom and all. She was glad that her mom and Janet were accompanying them back to the house. The two grandmothers were practically vying for Iya's attention. As for Big Jer he was happy that he's the only grandpapa that she'll have. Olivia still felt slightly exhausted caring for a new life and herself but she'd had amazing help from her stellar husband and family.

Several minutes later after moving at snail's pace they finally made it home to the brownstone. Arriving inside Olivia was surprised to see Quinn and Abby along with Raye and their significant others there. They'd made a welcome home banner for baby Iya and her mother. Olivia smiled at Fitz realizing that this was his doing but she was so happy to see everyone especially Quinn. It had been over a year since they'd seen each other in person.

Everyone ate cake and celebrated the new life within their midst, the occasional cries were sounded and Olivia excused herself to breast feed her child. It was weird the first time she'd done it but she quickly learned to love and appreciate the bonding time between mother and daughter. Each passing second she fell more completely in love with her. After burping her she was resting her in the crib when the door to the nursery room opens to display a beaming father.

"Hi" Fitz gently closes the door seeing a sleeping Iya. Making his way over to the crib he admires the sleeping infant. She's the most beautiful baby he'd ever seen even if he was bias.

"Hi" Olivia beams back at him watching the rising and falling of her daughter's chest. She accepted Fitz open hand to snuggle into his side.

Silence fell over them as they truly took in the sight of their daughter. A perfect combination of the two of them. She was perfect in every imaginable way. She surpassed anything they could've hoped or dream for. They were utterly and completely in love with her.

"We did good" Fitz smiled.

Olivia laughed softly not wanting to wake up the baby, "we did didn't we?" She breathes in deeply resting her head on the side of his chest. Sleeping was slowly coming to her as she relaxed in to his embrace.

"Babe I think I'm going to take a nap" she stifles a yawn escaping her lips as she spoke.

He turns and kisses the top of her head, "you go do that and I'll hold down the fort" speaking about Iya's crib.

"Thank you" she whispers to him before retreating to their master bed for the first time in two days. It wasn't long before her body succumbed to sleep.

Fitz was so engrossed with his daughter that he'd forgotten they had visitors downstairs. He was sitting in the single armchair in the corner watching his daughter sleep. He was overwhelmed with love for the little being. He was so caught up that he didn't hear the door opening and his other making her way inside.

"Hey" Janet called softly as she makes her way further into the room.

"Hey mom" he gets up to give her his seat but she declined it.

"How long has she been sleeping?"

"About fifteen minutes now. Liv went to take a nap so I'm watching her in case she wakes up" he answers still with eyes focused on his sleeping child.

"You do know that you guys have baby monitors in every room of this house right?"

Fitz chuckles softly thinking how pathetic he may sound but he just didn't care. "I know but I would rather watch her sleep" he felt a need to be her protector.

"That's ok son" Janet squeezes his shoulder.

"I feel like I've fallen in love for a second time but this time it was different. The feelings rushed to me immediately from the time I knew we were expecting a baby I've loved her" he shares his feelings with his mother.

Janet smiles at him, "it's a kind of love that you've never experience before with anyone. She's your flesh and blood a part of you and just as how you would fiercely protect her mother you would do the same for her. What you're feeling is an amazing emotion and unfortunately not everyone gets a chance to experience it. Cherish every moment with her because time goes by fast. It was only a while ago I was potty training you and now you have your own daughter" Janet spoke abstractedly with a smile on her face.

Fitz squeezes his mother hand that was still firmly rested on his shoulder. The two continued to talk while Janet shared earlier childhood stories with Fitz. By the time they'd finish talking twenty minutes later Iya started whimpering in her crib. Her father picked her up gently as he swayed her back and forth.

Hearing the cries from the bedroom monitor Olivia woke up making her way back to the nursery feeling a little more energize from earlier.

Two Weeks Later

They were finally living in a house with just the three of them. Alexis had returned back to work and Janet had returned back home to Long Island with big Jerry. Quinn and Abby had also returned to their individual states of residence two days after Iya came home from the hospital. Olivia enjoyed the company and help of having so much people there but she couldn't wait to be alone with her newly grown family.

Sitting in the family room watching TV Iya lying in her bassinet they enjoyed their first evening alone as a family.

Eating some popcorn from the bowl nestled between her and Fitz a stench arise from besides them.

"You smell that?" Fitz asked curiously scrunching his nose to block the stench from invading it.

"Uh huh and it's your turn" Olivia smiled innocently pointing him to the bassinet. And as if on clockwork Iya started crying. For her time so far on earth they already learnt that she cried a lot when soiled and hungry. Those two things needs to be taking care of immediately or she would cry herself till she'd turn a shade of bright pink.

"Come on, Livvie" Fitz groans getting up from his comfortable chair to attend to his daughter.

"Just remember father of the year" she winks at him.

He smirks at her before changing the soiled napkin. It wasn't a terrible scent but it wasn't pleasant either. They made sure to check her stool ensuring that it's a healthy color every time they changed her.

"Hey sweet cheeks" Fitz coos at her. "You're already growing so much" he talked to her watching her grey eyes light up. She was even more beautiful than the previous day. "You're such a good girl and we're done" Fitz announces snapping her onesie in place.

Lifting her up from the bassinet gently he carried her in his arms to the couch. By this time she was finish crying and settled to make small whimpering sounds.

Olivia smiled taking in the interaction of father and daughter. She already knew that her husband was a goner when it comes to his baby girl.

"Is Iya hungry?" Fitz continued talking to his daughter as if she understood what he was saying.

"How long ago was her last feed Liv?" He lifted his head up to look at his wife.

"About an hour ago. She should be ready to eat in the next half an hour to an hour" Olivia replied.

"Look at you having this new mother thing under wraps" Fitz complimented.

Olivia laughed blushingly, "trust me I don't but I'm learning along the way and you've been an amazing help" she reaches up to kiss his cheek and then plant a kiss on the contended infant's head.

"Mmmmm" he mumbles his satisfaction.

They continued in silence watching the TV show for another thirty or so minutes until they heard Iya's cry starting up. Fitz quickly handed her to her mother and Olivia situated herself to commence feeding her making sure to support her head properly.

"I have to say Iya I'm a little jealous right now" Fitz jokes as he watches mother and daughter bonding. Her mouth latches onto Olivia's right nipple making gurgling sounds.

"Why is daddy jealous of you pumpkin?" Olivia cooed at her daughter.

"Mmmm because that was daddy's job to suck on mommy's nipple" he continues in good fun.

"Fitz you're a mess! Iya your daddy is a mess but you know what we still love him" Liv adds rubbing small circles in to her back.

"And that's all that matters" he spoke confidently.

The trio stayed like this for another hour and half before they retired to bed. First off making sure that Iya was sound asleep before retreating to theirs. For the duration of the night they woke up interchanging shift to look after the child on the other side of the monitor. At first Olivia had wanted to keep her in their room but was advised against it by her mother. Let her adjust to her own room, Livvie - was her exact words.

*Sounds of baby crying*

Fitz rubs his eyes and looks at the bedside clock it was already six in the morning. He looks at a tired Liv sprawled out besides him. Moving the crisp sheet from atop him he stands to make his way out the room.

"Good morning sunshine" he announces when he opens the door. The scent of a dirty diaper greets him.

"Oooo and you were kind to bless me with a present too."

As soon as his gentle touch graces her soft skin she lets out a sound resembling a giggle. It made him smile to see her face lit up. Lifting her up he took her to the changing table to get her out of the soiled diaper.

After cleaning her up he held her close to his chest as they made their way downstairs. Minutes after the breast milk that Olivia had pumped the night before was warmed they settled into a chair at the breakfast nook. It had an amazing view of central park. He carefully positioned her in his arms before placing the bottle nipple in her mouth. For the first week he was terrified to feed her because she was so little but after doing it once then twice and three times he'd become confident in doing it. They continued their morning routine with Iya drinking the warm liquid and Fitz serenading her with his soulful voice.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey

You never know, dear, how much I love you

Please don't take my sunshine away

Olivia entered the room just in time to see Fitz and Iya enjoying each other. She smiles taking in the scene in front of her. Her very handsome husband looked even sexier in just a pajamas pants and white tee holding their daughter. While she was wearing a green baby footed pajama with small yellow flowers decorating it. Her eyes were closed and she looked contended in her father's arms. Her complexion was darkening to a caramel tone from since the time she was born. Her eyes were still striking grey and her hair black. After observing the beautiful sight in front of her for a while more she made her presence known by wrapping her arms around Fitz's waist.

At first he was startled but quickly found his bearings and continued singing. They spent half an hour basking in the bliss of being new parents. Since Fitz was starting work that day she took over allowing him to catch an hour before getting up to start his day.

Two Months Later

"Are you sure we're doing the right thing? I mean you can go and I'll stay with her Fitz" Olivia worries for the fortieth time that morning.

"Come on Liv it'll only be for one night. Mom and dad will be here to take care of her" Fitz reassures her by giving her a kiss on the lips.

To say that she was apprehensive about leaving Iya for 24 full hours was an understatement. Fitz was nominated for three Grammys and they were heading to LA to attend the awards show. Seeing it as too much of a hassle to fly with Iya they'd asked Janet and Big Jerry to watch her.

She groaned thinking about how much she was going to miss her baby. These past two and a half months with her had been nothing short of a dream. She was tired yes, but it's an experience she wouldn't trade for the world. She also realized that Fitz and her needs some alone time. She was cleared from the doctor about two weeks ago but couldn't find the time to squeeze in some husband and wife time with him. Plus she was feeling a little insecure about her body. She worked out every chance she got but it's still a work in progress. She definitely did not look like the Olivia he knew. Her boobs were bigger, her tummy higher and her hips wider. Sometimes while changing he would walk in the room and she would try to hide herself but he'd always assure her that she was still beautiful and desirable.

"Ok" she finally conceded. She made her way to the closet to pack an overnight bag. Since it was the Grammys she didn't worry about looking for an outfit to wear. Her stylist for the night had contacted her with some dresses earlier in the week through email and she'd made sure to choose three that would possibly work well with her current body.

"That's my girl in the meantime our little girl will be fine. She loves her nana" he smiles to relieve her uncertainty.

She accepts his comforting words as they were true and they continued to finish packing their suitcases. They were leaving at noon for LA and checking in to a hotel for the night and the following morning they were heading back to the East Coast. This would be their first time leaving Iya for more than a few hours. It was worst for Liv as she'd been by her side 24/7 while he went to work.

After spending so much time with the growing little girl that morning it was time for them to leave for the airport.

Olivia rattled off a thousand instructions at Janet which was slightly irritating her but she smiled at the new mother syndrome that overtook her daughter in law. She wouldn't take it personally as all new mothers are very anxious in leaving their child for the first time.

"Got it and I'll call you if there's an emergency" Janet repeats her list of instructions to her as they stood at the front door to see them off. Big Jerry had a gurgling Iya in his arms also bidding them a good trip.

"Ok are you ready?" Fitz asks holding both of their suitcases in his hands.

"One minute" she answers making her way to her daughter for some finally kisses. "Mommy will see you tomorrow. I love you sweet cheeks" she speaks softly while feeling flooded by emotions. She slowly lets go and wipe a tear that had fallen from her eyes.

Fitz follow suit by kissing his daughter and telling her he loves her before heading to the waiting car that'll take them to the JFK airport.

On their way to the airport Olivia kept checking her phone for a call but none came. She felt so bare without her. She already missed her sweet cheeks and she hadn't even boarded the plane as yet.

"Hey hey" Fitz reaches for her hand. He wanted to make the next 24 hours special for her. "It's ok baby. You can do it" he speaks softly to her.

She appreciated his patience and kindness to her. Forcing herself to relax she was determine to show her husband her appreciation for the next 24 or so hours.

As soon as the flight took off Olivia talked with Fitz for merely a few minutes before falling into a deep slumber. For the entire duration of the flight she snuggled in to her plush seat wrapped in a soft blanket sleeping.

As soon as they landed Olivia called Janet to check in on Iya who was doing fine. She was fed and was on the verge of falling asleep. That's literally all she does so Olivia had no idea why she was so worried.

Checking in to the SLS hotel in Beverly Hills she and Fitz ordered room service before the glam squad came to get them ready for their night out.

After being separated to get ready Olivia was sitting in the chair as Alyssa did her makeup and styled her hair.

"So how's new motherhood treating you?" She asked making polite conversation.

"It's great she's an amazing little girl" she beamed with pure joy.

"She's really cute" Alyssa complimented remembering the first official picture that was posted on to both Olivia and Fitz's twitter account a month ago.

They'd miraculously caught her smiling the same time Olivia had her SLR camera out. She'd edited the picture into black and white and had decided to make it their official picture to show off Iya to the world. Black and white filters a perfect representation of their union creating her – a beautiful mirage of them coming together. It had instantly created an internet buzz. All of the gossip sites and shows were talking about how cute the new Grant is.

"Thank you' she smiled at her through the mirror.

The rest of the preparation time went on with minimum conversation as Olivia prepares herself mentally to face the cameras as they were walking down the red carpet again. But this time it was much a bigger deal.

Olivia made her way out to the small living room of their suite to see her strikingly handsome husband dressed impeccably in a black tux with white shirt. His shoes shone so much that she could see her reflection in it. He wore a blue bow tie matching the color of her dress, compliments to the stylist. It was so cheesy but cute and she laughed at it. She was clothed in an elegantly knotted one shoulder dress that gathers the pleated bodice of a stately, Grecian-inspired gown in a cobalt blue color. Waves of iridescent chiffon falls into a sweeping skirt from the tightly ruched waistband. The waistband helped conceal her slightly heavier mid-section. She looked and felt fabulous. Her makeup was done to perfection and her hair was swept in an updo style exposing her long elegant neck.

"Wow you're absolutely breathtaking" Fitz lowers his lips to her left hand. His throat went dry when she made her entrance into the room. It was so long that he'd had her screaming his name, he thought. He took a deep cleansing breath trying to clear his line of thoughts.

"Thank you" she replies coyly while licking her lips. Tonight she would make sure that she gets a taste of this handsome virile man standing before her, she thought.

Holding her hands he escorted her into the awaiting SUV. They made small chatters on their way and called to check in on Iya. Since it was approaching six on the west coast they know soon it would be too late to call them on the east coast.

Coming to a stop at their destination her door was opened and she slowly made her way outside with the assistance of her husband. She held onto his hand as they walked the red carpet together. This was their first ever award show that they'd ever gone to together. So many cameras and reporters trying to take pictures of them, and asking them hundreds of questions.

"You look amazing Olivia. Your pre-baby body is already on its way back. What's your secret?"

The aforementioned question "who are you wearing?" was also asked again.

Everyone complimented on how happy and in love they looked and they did feel genuinely happy with each other. Fitz was proud to display the woman on his arm and she was proud to do the same.

The Grammys was in full swing performances by the phenomenal Beyoncé, Adele and even Bruno. For his performance both Olivia and Fitz rolled their eyes in annoyance. But for the most part they were having so much fun sitting in the front row next to Adam Levine and fiancé. They danced and laughed at the various performances of the night. For a split second Olivia had let loose fully and not worry about her sweet cheeks on the other coast.

As the various categories were announced they cheered on for the winners. When it came to the Best Song of the Year Fitz was up for that category - she silently prayed that he would win and when his name was announced she let out a loud scream hugging and kissing him. Their song 'All of Me' had won the category for him.

"Yesssss" she squeals hugging him tightly.

Fitz hugs her back and kisses her on the lips which made everyone cheered on more. He made his way up the short stairs to accept his fourth ever Grammy.

"Wow" he marvels at the lively crowd in front of him but his eyes rested on his gorgeous wife staring at him. He hold the Grammy up in his right hand as he spoke, "first and foremost I want to thank God for health and strength. I want to thank my manger Sean for always lending me a helping hand. Last and definitely not least I want to thank my gorgeous wife who's my inspiration, my rock, my best friend" his voice wavering with thick emotion. "It was you that inspired me to even write this song. I love you Olivia and Iya daddy's got a gold sippy cup for you" he adds the last part jokingly which made the crowd burst into fits of laughter.

The rest of the night went well with Fitz winning another Grammy for best music video making him a 6th time Grammy winner. All in all it was a spectacular night. They stayed for an hour at one of the several after parties mingling with the elites of Hollywood before retiring back to their hotel for the night.

Fitz had already changed out and was lying in bed making himself comfortable to sleep when he saw his gorgeous wife stepping out from the bathroom in red lingerie.

"Guess who's cleared for sex?" Her voice seductively as she makes her way towards him.

Fitz immediately felt the stirring in his pants as she swayed her hips coming towards him. He gulped as he saw her full bust straining against the material. His erection growing bigger the closer she got to him.

"Uh huh" was all he could mutter as she straddled him on the bed. Fitz was afraid that he would ejaculate right there if he spoke a sentence.

"Mmmm" Olivia moans feeling his hard on pressing into her inner thighs. That egged her on and she latch on to his lips kissing him with hunger and lust. She slid her tongue into his mouth demandingly. They kissed passionately hands groping and squeezing each other's body everywhere.

Feeling his dominance reappearing Fitz flips her over to lie on her back. Slowing down the pace he kisses her from her toes all the way up to her hip bone. He kisses her belly and every inch of skin, showing her how much he adored and worship her. Settling himself between her legs for last he kissed and teased her dripping core. He was maddened by the taste of her, it had been so long and he did felt like a man starved. He made love to her with his mouth as he brought her to her first orgasm for the night. Her voice calling out his name - her nails scratching and clawing at his skin - he missed this. Not wasting any more time he brought his body flush against hers - pinning her down to the bed. He kisses her languidly allowing her to taste her essence on his lips. She moaned and writhe underneath him trying to create friction between her legs.

After what seems like forever to Olivia she finally felt him pushing his way inside of her. It felt slightly painful but mostly delicious. She sighed contentedly at the feeling - she missed this. She held onto his shoulders as he moved in and out of her. She moaned and gasped for air as his strokes got deeper and faster. She was losing it and fast too. She allowed herself to give into the sensation that was rising from the pit of her belly. She completely let go when Fitz's deep baritone voice begged that she 'let go for me' she screamed out loud at the earth shattering orgasm coursing through her body. She felt as if she was blacking out from the sensations of the moment. Her body shuddered as Fitz pumped two more times into her before jumping over the edge with her.

It was electric as their bodies molded with each other in the state of post-orgasmic bliss. After steadying their heartbeats the couple went at it again. They did this until they'd both pass out from exhaustion – making up for the ten weeks they went without it.

Waking up with limbs tangled in his she felt deliciously sore and achy all over. Her muscles felt relaxed and her mood extremely happy. She looked over at his sleeping form hair a mass of curls, Iya's curls she smiles touching one between her fingers.

"Good morning beautiful" he speaks his voice rumbles deeply from just being awake.

Olivia blushed at the sexy man lying beside her, "good morning handsome."

"You were amazing last night" he touches her lower lip with his index finger.

"Mmmm. Last time I remember it was you" she threw at him as she lowers her lips to his.

Before long the couple engaged themselves in hot steamy morning sex. When their bodies were contended they moved to the bathroom where they showered and after ordered room service. After finish eating breakfast Olivia checked her phone to see if there were any missed calls and also to check in on Iya.

Her stomach drops at the sight of seeing fifteen missed calls all coming from Janet. She felt queasy that something was terribly wrong.

"You ok?" Fitz asks after drinking the last of his orange juice.

Wordlessly she showed him her phone displaying her missed call long.
