AN: Better late than never. ;) Here's a new update peeps! It was so refreshing to see that people were begging for Big Jerry to not die in the reviews lol. Enjoy!
The entire week leading up to Friday or as they called it 'Surgery Day' was filled with underlying tensions. Everyone tried to put on a brave face going in but inside they were all scared. Out of everyone Iya was the only person truly happy as she's too young to understand what was going on. Sitting in the waiting room everyone stared at the clock for the hundredth time seeing the time as 3PM. They were already over an hour from the time the surgery was supposed to be ended.
Olivia was holding a sleeping Iya in her lap when she heard her phone ringing - flipping it over she saw that it was her mother. She turns the volume down so that it won't wake Iya. Giving her to her father who was sitting next to them Olivia mouthed to him that it was her mother. Walking towards the restroom area Olivia called back her mother as the call went to voicemail.
"Hi mom" Olivia squeaked, having realized that her voice sounded croaky. It'd been a while since she'd spoken. No one was in a talking mood.
"Hi baby. How's everything? Is he out?" Alexis asks. She was keeping up with them every hour to inquire about Jerry's progress.
"No he's not out and the surgery has been going on for almost four hours. That's one hour over" she lets out a sigh and pinch the bridge of her nose. "Everyone is worried that something went wrong. The nurses kept saying they can't give out any information as yet as the doctors are still undergoing surgery on him."
Alexis hears the panic and defeat in her daughter's voice. She prayed to God that he made it out alive. He had too many love ones that aren't ready to say goodbye. He was the only grandpapa Iya have alive. An even though Rick loves her to pieces she still wanted her to grow up knowing one of her biological grandfathers.
"Let's pray Livvie. God hasn't brought us this far to leave us."
"Ok" Olivia agrees softly. She listens intently as her mother prays for her father in law that he would make it out successfully and that the cancer would be completely removed. Tears trickled down her face as the waves of emotions crashes over her. When the prayer was over she felt a spark of hope rising in the pit of her stomach.
"Thank you mom. I love you."
"I love you too baby. Now go and be the light for your family" she encourages her softly.
Olivia spent a few seconds gathering herself together before returning to the waiting room. By the time she got back there everyone including Harrison was standing around Dr. Chen as he spoke directly to Janet. She moves to Fitz's side to listen what he had to say.
"There was a minor complication that we encountered during the surgery and that's why we ended up going over an extra hour. Because of Mr. Grant's age his muscles in that area is weakening and it caused some problems for the laparoscope to go through. Despite the setback in time and minor complication we can say that we were successful in removing the tumor that was growing on his prostate. Since we catch it so early it didn't get a chance to spread. He's currently still under anesthesia so it'll be another twenty - thirty minutes for him to wake up. Once he's fully healed we will do another prostate exam to determine if he's cancer free. Now any questions?" Dr. Chen asked as he finished explaining everything he did on his patient. He looked out at the crowd of various faces of different sizes and hues and he knew that his patient was loved.
"When….when can we see him?" Janet asked her voice wavering from the emotional roller coaster that was coursing through her.
"Once he's woken up you can go see him."
"Thank you doctor for everything you did for my father" Fitz speaks up truly grateful that one of the best oncologist was able to do his father's surgery.
"It was my pleasure. Now if you'll excuse me I have some paperwork to do. If you have any questions please address them to nurse Jackie here" he pauses to introduce her to the group before continuing, "Now I hope you all have a good rest of the day" and with that the man made his way to his office.
Olivia turns to Fitz and wraps her arms around his waist leaning into Iya's body as she was nestled on his chest still asleep. "Thank God he's ok" she breathes. "How are you feeling? Do you need anything to drink or eat?" She asks him still holding onto him in the middle of the waiting room despite Raye, Janet and Harrison returning to their seats.
"Thanks babe but I'm good" he angles his head so he can give her a quick peck on the lips but instead he lets his sits on hers.
"I love you" she whispers against his lips.
"I love you too" he whispers back.
"Hey hey people are sitting here you know? And besides the two of you are squishing my niece in between your bodies" Raye's voice breaks them up.
"Whatever," Fitz threw back at her separating himself from Olivia and walking back towards his seat. For the first time that day everyone felt a weight lifted off their shoulders. They felt hope that Big Jerry wasn't going anywhere at least not that soon.
Thirty minutes later they visited his room two by two. Janet went in alone and hugged her husband of thirty-eight years tightly and warns him to not scare her like this again. She was happy that her best friend hadn't left her to fight for herself in this cruel world. Once she was finish she let Fitz and Olivia go in as she held Iya in the waiting room. She wasn't allowed to go in due to hospital policies saying that she was too young to. When Fitz and Olivia had finish talking to him Harrison and Raye went in.
When they were all done rotating their visitation it was six in the evening. Fitz and Olivia left shortly after because they knew around that time Iya becomes cranky for her bath and her dinner. And like on clockwork she starts crying and pulling at her hair as they drove her home.
That night Janet stayed at a nearby hotel so that she wouldn't have to travel the long way back to Long Island to stay in an empty house by herself. Plus it was convenient for her to go back to the hospital first thing in the morning.

The following Tuesday Olivia and Iya went grocery shopping at a farmers market in Brooklyn. Olivia knows that it wasn't necessary for her to do grocery shopping as their housekeeper could've done it but she preferred to do it. It give her a sense of normalcy that she loves and she was glad that Fitz's promise still rings true from the first time they'd met. He had promised her that he would try to make their relationship and life as normal as possible despite him being a celebrity. She was grateful for that and today she found herself parking the Audi in the parking spot with a happy Iya. Another thing Olivia is grateful for – is a lovely daughter. She can truly say that she wasn't a crying child unless she's hungry, sleepy or soiled and of course if she was hurt. Her mother always made comparison with her granddaughter and when Olivia was a baby. Olivia was such a crybaby that she prayed Iya wouldn't be like her. And surprisingly she wasn't in that aspect.
"Mama wook" Iya points to the grocery stand with fresh fruits piled high on it. Olivia sees the strawberries and immediately smiled that is Iya's favorite fruit.
"We'll get some baby" Olivia tells her. Once her stroller was out of the car she buckles her up inside and pulls out her huge reusable bag that she takes with her on trips like these.
After making rounds at most of the stands at the farmers market Olivia had everything she needed and more. And Iya was pleasantly satisfied with the strawberry Olivia had washed and given to her which she was thinking was a bad idea as the juices were ruining her sky blue blouse. Packing the SUV with the grocery bag and putting Iya's stroller in the trunk she lifts her to put her in her car seat.
"Want us to go see dada?" Olivia asks buckling Iya into her car seat.
"Yeaaaa dada" she squeals.
It was perfect timing for them to be in Brooklyn as Fitz had bought a building where he had his own studio. Even though he would spend some time in the Manhattan studios with other artists he would also come down there. Since starting to write for other artists he was also trying his hand at producing. He's a man of many talents and Olivia always teases him saying she doesn't know what else he'll discover to do.
"Let's go to his favorite Mexican restaurant and grab him a burrito bowl" Olivia says aloud putting the car into reverse before driving off into the street.
Since Olivia had mention the word "dada" it was all Iya could say as they made their way to the restaurant to pick up the takeout order Olivia had called in on her way there. She was still saying it as Olivia rested her on her hip as she took the stairs to the studio.
Fitz was in the middle of talking to his new guitarist Randy when he heard a small child saying "dada dada" excusing himself from the conversation he smiled when he realized that he knows that small cheerful voice. Opening the door he was greeted with the most amazing sight. His wife was cladded in skinny black jeans that accentuated her curves, a red loosely fitted blouse was draped around her perk breasts and black wedges adorned her feet. His eyes then fell on his child that was growing like a weed every day on her hips. Her black hair was growing longer and thicker by the days. Her small face was hidden in the mass of curls that surrounded it. He made his way to them collecting Iya and the food bag Olivia was holding to relieve her of the weights.
"This is a pleasant surprise" he says kissing her on her mouth and then turning to an impatient Iya to kiss her as well.
"Dada I eat berry" she tells him proudly showing the stains on her blouse as proof.
Fitz smiles at her, "was it juicy like you sweet cheeks?" He nuzzles her tummy playfully and she giggles.
Olivia takes in the sight before her and smiles contentedly. She excused herself from them and went to say hi to Randy. Once the hellos and how you're doings were finish they made their way to Fitz's office space.
"You brought me lunch?" Fitz asked Iya animatedly placing her to sit in his big chair which she quite liked.
"Uh huh" she answered him while being taken up with one of his pens then her eyes saw the clear shiny object that caught her interest.
Fitz and Olivia were too busy in their own world kissing on each other as he was repaying her his gratitude for stopping by to feed him. They both pulled apart when they heard a loud thud on the floor. Looking up at the same time to see if it was Iya but instead found that she was clasping her mouth looking at the floor. Her cheeks were red and they knew she had to be up to something. It was her telltale sign that she was being curious.
Getting up they both sauntered over to see what had fell and they found the crystal Ferris wheel replica on the floor. Thankfully because of the carpeted floor it was able to withstand breakage.
"You would've gotten a spanking if that had broken" Olivia warned her half seriously and Iya pouted her mouth out. Something she'd started doing lately.
"Wait we're going to be the spanking kind of parents?" Fitz asked.
"Absolutely! I was and so were you. Discipline maybe painful but it's necessary. Of course we're not going to spank her for everything but sometimes it may be necessary and she's still too small for that anyways."
Fitz pouts at her too. "And when the time comes you'll pass out the discipline?" He asks curiously they never really talked about disciplining her in that way or in any way for that matter. They just kind of go with the flow. Learning things as they go along the way and remembering what their parents did.
"What so I can get to be the bad parent and you get to be the cool dad?"
"It was your suggestion after all so I'm assuming you would be the disciplinarian" Fitz quipped as he pulled out the two burrito bowl that she had in the brown bag.
"Whatever you just don't want to get on the bad side of Iya and she's not even two. She has you around her little finger admit it" she tosses back at him while compiling a small bowl of food for Iya to eat in with the extra bowl she'd asked the restaurant for.
"No she does not" and before he was able to finish his statement Iya had him feeding her off of his plate completely abandoning her bowl.
"Case in point" Olivia says laughing at him and giving back Iya her bowl to eat from.
"Whatever you're just jealous of us."
The trio ate and laughed until it was time for Olivia to head home and unpack the groceries before they'd ruin from sitting in the car for too long.
"Love you babe. We'll see you at home" Olivia kisses him as he opens the car door for her.
"Love you too" he closes her door and then makes his way to Iya "Love you sweet cheeks."
"Wuv you daddy. Ta-ta" she waves at him as he closes the door.
He stood watching until the car had disappeared from his vision. He smiled despite of last week being rough with his dad this new week was warming up well for him. Big Jerry was recovering well at the rehab center and was schedule to go home tomorrow. All was getting well in his world.

Two weeks later Olivia watched the whirlwind around her. She took in how tired Fitz was between working and making sure that his father was well taken care off. She saw how much he needed a break. Big Jerry was mostly a pleasant man but recovering from his surgery he was awful to deal with. He refuses the nurses help to bathe him - according to him "being knocked out and naked in front of strangers was one thing but he would be damned to be awake and have them look at him." So his attitude had Fitz driving over to Long Island to assist his mother shower him every other day. Janet had said she was able to do it by herself but quickly changed her mind when Big Jerry's knees suddenly give out in the shower causing the both of them to almost fall. She was way too small to handle a man of his size by herself.
Since these past two weeks were hectic for him and thankfully that Big Jerry was showering by himself with minimal help from Janet she'd decided to do something nice for him. She wanted to let him know that she truly loves and appreciates him.
Waiting for the door to open Olivia held a sleeping Iya in her arms.
"Hey" Raye said happily but quickly lowered her voice when she saw her niece sound asleep. "Come in come in" she ushered them inside.
"Wooo" Olivia gasps looking around Raye's living room. She'd transformed the space into a princess themed fort.m"So when I told you about babysitting two days ago you went and bought all of this?"
"Of course not. I had most of it already" Raye answered as if it was normal, "I have to be known as the cool Aunty. Well I'm actually her only aunt" she adds proudly.
Olivia rolls her eyes playfully at her, "what's it with you and your brother trying to be the fun one?"
"It's in our blood. So tell me what are you two doing tonight? Trying to get Iya a brother?"
"Ha! Oh no Iya is already a handful no more babies for now. I just want to take him out, it's been a while we went on a date so I just thought I do something nice for him."
"Awww look at you being all thoughtful and sweet. Thanks for the PG answer even though I know that y'all will be fucking the brains out of each other later."
Olivia laughed and warned her sternly to mind her language around Iya. She loves to repeat everything she hears and they certainly don't want to add an inappropriate word to her vocabulary. Once Iya was settled in the makeshift bed that her aunt had made for them Olivia kissed her on her forehead before leaving the apartment. She smiles as she realizes that operation 1. Find a babysitter was completed. She sent Fitz a quick message with a picture attachment that would be sure to get his heart beating fast. Immediately her phone rings.
"Hi" she answers smiling as she pulls the car out from the parking space.
"Hi are you trying to kill me sweet baby?" His voice was deep with desire.
"How so?" She feigns innocence.
"Mmmm that picture of you scantly cladded in black lace. Is that what you're wearing now?" He puts his feet up on the desk making himself more comfortable. He was glad that he was in the room when he got the picture of Olivia wearing a one piece black lingerie set. He had clear vision of her nipples peeking through the thin part of the lace. She looked absolutely desirable to him with her eyes dripping of pure wanton need.
"No but I can wear it tonight for you" she answers him making sure to keep her eyes on the road even though she feels the heat rising inside of her.
"Well I can't wait to be home. Actually I think I'm going to be leaving now" he states seriously as he stands to his feet.
"Good I'll see you in thirty" and with that she presses the end button on her steering wheel to disconnect the call.
Operation 2 Get Fitz to come home an hour earlier is completed. She smiled to herself.

Fitz reaches home at seven and opens the front door. He was surprised to be greeted with an arrow on the floor pointing to the stairs with an envelope on it. He smiles already feeing the excitement building within him.
Tonight we're trading places
- Livvie
His smile grew wider as he makes a step towards the stairs to find another envelope. He opens it,
We're going to do something different. I'll be you and you'll be me
- Livvie
That peaked Fitz's interest wondering what she's planning on. Following the arrow he was led to his closet where a black Armani suit was out with a crisp white button down shirt. Attached to the hanger was another envelope.
In the next thirty minutes the front door will be dinged and you'll answer it. Put this on so the fun can begin
- Mrs. Grant
Fitz was officially excited by the sudden adventure that awaits him. He hurriedly rushed into the shower taking notice that Olivia was nowhere in the house neither was Iya. He would ask her later but for now he was trying to get dress before she knocked on the door. Standing in the full length mirror he liked the way he looked, the suit fit impeccably it was slim fit and tailored to him. He wore black shoes that added a superb finishing touch perfectly to his outfit. The three top buttons on his shirt were undo displaying a small amount of his chest hair. By the time he sprayed some of his cologne on himself he heard the front door dinging. Rushing down the stairs he opens the door just to have his breath stolen.
Olivia stood there dressed in a red bodycon dress with six inch heels on her feet. She hoped he remember the dress she was wearing, it was the one she wore for their very first date. In her hands she came bearing gifts a box of imported cigars which Fitz enjoyed occasionally with his father. She blushed as she took in the sight of him looking deliciously handsome in his suit. His mouth agape with no sounds escaping it.
"Wow" was all he can say.
Olivia cleared her throat to compose herself. Since she was in charge of their date she had to be the lead. "For you" she says giving him the box of cigars.
He looks down at the box and saw the brand on it. She bought the ones he likes. "Thank you" he was making his way to kiss her but she stopped him.
"No not now I know you" she warns him
"Come on you can't blame me. You look freaking incredibly sexy in that dress. You look even more amazing in it now than the first time you had worn it" he admits truly.
"You remembered" she smiles happily at the thought of him remembering what she was wearing.
"Of course I did. I fantasize all night about how I could've gotten that dress off you."
"Well since you'd missed out on that opportunity four years ago. I promise tonight you won't" she gives him a sultry smirk.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Fitz says excitedly tossing the box of cigar on the nearby chair.
The two made their way inside of the town car and Olivia filled him in on where Iya was and that Raye had transformed her living room into a fort. It didn't go unnoticed by Olivia that his hand was rubbing circles onto her exposed thighs. His hand keeps going higher and higher before she could've reprimanded him the car came to a stop at their destination. She'd made reservations at the same upscale restaurant that she'd dined at with Abby and Quinn.
"Reservations under?" the blonde woman asked.
"Pope" Olivia answers without hesitation.
"Right here ma'am" their maître d' escorted them to a secluded corner. She excused herself once she'd gotten their choice of wine.
"Pope?" Fitz asked curiously.
"Because tonight you'll be Poped" she gives him a wink.
"Is that so?" He raises his eyebrows inquisitively.
"Soon you'll find out."
The two continued with playful banters at each other while they ate their meal. When they'd had their fair share of entree their plates were removed and a succulent chocolate dessert was placed in the middle of them. Both of them dug in at once and fed each other. Sitting satisfied and full they continue to talk.
"Fitz I want to apologize for how I treated you a few weeks back" she stops him when she saw that he was about to interrupt her. "You're my husband and I want to love and respect you always. You're a gracious, generous loving man and I am lucky to have you as my husband and father to our daughter. How I acted when I went out with my friends was disrespectful to you and I'm truly sorry. If I'll be late I'll be sure to make you aware because I would expect the same from you. I'm sorry that sometimes I act unreasonable towards you. From time to time I can act as the twenty-two years old girl that you'd first met but that's not an excuse. Just please continue to have patience with me and love me beyond my flaws. I love you so much baby and I just want you to know that you're truly love and appreciated." By the time she was finish pouring out her heart silent tears were running down her cheeks.
For the second time that night Fitz was awestruck by the amazing woman before him. Her humility her maturity her love her beauty her chivalry her kindness - he was the lucky one.
"I love you so much Livvie" he clasps her hands tightly with his. "I'll spend the rest of my life trying to be the husband you deserve."
"I love you too" she whispers back at him. They sat their holding onto each other's hands as the flames from the candle dances along their skin. They were taken out of their spell when the check arrived.
"I got this babe. Don't forget we're trading places" she reminds him which rewarded her with a boisterous laugh.
When the tab was settled Olivia escorted Fitz to the second floor where there was a bar and dance floor. They settled into a corner after they'd ordered their drinks. For some reason that night they played mostly old school songs. Bumping and grinding kind of music blazed through the speakers as lovers alike took to the floor. All the alcohol she'd consumed that night was getting to her. She rocked her hips into Fitz's her butt rubbing against his growing erection as they dance in time to the music. All night they were in their own world where he touched and groped her everywhere in their own little corner. When she couldn't take it anymore she whispers in his ears, "let's go home."
By the time they got home they were ripping each other's clothes off. All gentility was gone and they were wild beasts trying to get each other naked as fast as they could. Olivia pushed him down on the sofa as she took charge. She took in the sight of him clad in only black boxer briefs. She watched the tent in front housing his erection and she felt herself dripping with desire. Like promise she wore the one piece lingerie set for him. Still wearing her heels Olivia straddled his thighs. She starts making small kisses on his chest moving down to his stomach. She kisses his navel and skips his groin and opting to kissing his muscular thighs. She was fascinated by how sexy he is from his toes all the way to his hair.
Sliding off of his thighs she kneels down on the floor in front of him and licks her lips in anticipation. Pulling his boxer brief off she tosses it across the room. She took in the vision of him fully erect with all the veins and ridges engorge on it. As soon as her mouth kisses the tip of him his hand immediately makes way to her hair.
She smirked against him liking the amount of power she holds over his body. Inch by inch she takes him into her mouth. She pulls out completely swirling her tongue around the tip which garners her a satisfied moan. She swallowed him again this time taking as much as she could creating a vacuum. She bobbed her head up and down while playing with his sac. He was losing his mind by the way he held onto her hair for control.
When she realized that he was on the verge of letting go she stopped her ministrations. She stood on wobbly feet as she went back to straddle his thigh, this time her juices left wet trails on him. Fitz was trying to take control and she bit him on his lip and murmured "trading places" which was their go to phrase for the night.
Olivia kisses him passionately on his mouth enjoying the taste of the lingering scotch on his tongue. She sucked on it while stroking his member in her hand. She had him where she wanted him and she wasn't going to let up no matter how much he begged.
Raising herself up she pushes her panties to the side and slowly slides down onto him. Once he was fully sheathed inside of her, she held onto the back of the chair as leverage. She moved her hips frantically up and down side to side bouncing on his shaft. Olivia felt empowered riding him as his hands held onto her waist trying to control the pace but she fought against him going at the pace she wanted to go at.
They weren't at it for a long time but Fitz could already feel his orgasm building. Olivia was working her magic on him and he didn't know how much more he could take before he exploded. Bringing his hand between her legs he applied pressure to her bundle of nerves giving her additional stimulation. She cried out louder as his mouth attached himself to her nipple through the lace. If he was cumming soon she was going to too.
The two continued attacking each other's sensitive spot and before long their orgasms ripped throughout them violently leaving them breathless and spent in each other's arm.
Fitz didn't know what just happen, it was like... He couldn't think of a proper word. Then a light bulb went off in his head giving him an answer. He mumbled in her ear saying,
"I've been Poped."
AN: Hey guys I'm sorry I've been procrastinating :(. I've been busy with life and such. Well we have a new chapter and I hope you liked it. Several people brought up how wrong Olivia was to not call him when she went out late with Abby and Quinn which I totally agree on. Well she more than made up for it. How awesome was her catering to his need though? I got the 'Trading Places' idea from Usher's song Trading Places. He was warned about being POPED. Big Jerry is fine. Iya is growing nicely and oh what do you guys think about someday (I probably will never write it) Ms. Iya getting spanked for bad behavior? Lol. (keeping it realistic that they would talk about disciplining her). What else? Mmmm oh yes, we have 3 more chapters to go :(. Please leave your thoughts, comments and or questions they're much appreciated. Until next time! Xoxoxo
