Hey everyone, I'm back! I wasn't expecting this story to take this turn, but it is what my brain is set on delivering so I'm just gonna go with it. Enjoy.

"Fitzty, let's play house."

"I don't wanna play house Livvie! Can't we play Transformers instead?"

"Fitzy, you do wanna play house! You just don't know it yet. It will be fun. I'll be the mommy, and you can be the daddy."

"But Livvie.."

"No buts Fitzty! If you play house with me, I'll give you my chocolate pudding..."

"Ok! How many babies do we have?"

"Six babies so you better go to work."

"Why can't you go to work?"

"I am gonna work too! I'm gonna take over the world all day, and come home to you and the babies at night."

"So why can't I stay home and watch He-Man?"

"Because silly, no woman wants to marry a man that doesn't work! It's like that lady is sings "You got to have a J. O. B. if you wanna be with me.. Aint nothin goin on but the rent"... Duh!"

"Fine, but I get to be... A firefighter ."

"Fine. Firefighter Fizzerald Thomas Grant III. And I'll be Olivia Pope, the most scared of woman in the world."

"That's not a job!"

"YES IT IS! It's just called President of the United States of America."

"But girls can't be president of the United States of America!"

"Why not?"

"Because no body wants to see a pink oval office!"

"Not all girls like pink! I like purple!"

"Ok, then nobody wants a purple oval office!"

"I'm going to be president if I wanna be!"

"Girls can't be president Livvie!"

"Oh yeah? Watch me!"

Liv smiled as she recalled that day. It seemed like forever ago. She'd been thinking about getting into politics for some time now. Of course she wouldn't do anything just yet as the twins weren't even born yet, but it didn't hurt to start planning for when the twins were in school. For right now, she was happy being Olivia Pope, the most scared of woman in America.

As she sat on the deck, Liv couldn't help but reflect on the mornings events, and what everything meant for their lives. She was legally Karen and Jerry's mother. She may not have carried them, but that meant nothing, she loved them as if she had. After all, do parents who have children through a surrogate, love their child any less?

Since she entered their lives, Liv learned that being a mother was more than just giving hugs and kissing kids good night. When she took on the role as mother, Liv took on more jobs, and responsibilities than anyone, even Fitz could fathom. Only another mother, or anyone who acted in such a capacity could understand the life changing experience of becoming a mother.

When she entered their lives, Liv became a coach to help the children through the challenges of life. She became a teacher when homework became too difficult for them to do alone. She became a nurse when they fell down or fell ill. A chef when they were hungry. She became a therapist when they needed a shoulder to lean on. She became a referee when the children fought, and the co-judge with Fitz when determining what punishment fit the children's crime. She became their bodyguard, protecting them from the monsters under their beds, and in the world outside of their home. She was the guidance counselor, leading them down the path of becoming great adults. This wasnt even considering the fact that she had a full time job fixing the crises of America's elite, and when all of that was said and done, she was still a wife. With all of the titles a mother holds, for the kids it was simple. When Liv entered their lives, she became their confidante, their role model. She became their everything. She became their person. Never in her life did Liv think that being a mother could bring so much joy and fulfillment, yet bring so much heartache and pain. Still, she wouldn't have it any other way.

Liv felt a change in the air as she looked out over their backyard. It was a beautiful day all around. There was a much welcomed chill in the air, as the summer had been brutally hot thus far.

"You're thinking about it again, aren't you?" Eli asked as he stepped out onto the deck. He knew of Liv's dream to be president. She had been dreaming of it since she was a little girl. If any woman in this world would break the final glass ceiling, he knew she could do it.

Eli knew his daughter was special. Most fathers believe their children are, that they are destined for greatness. But Eli knew that Liv, had the power to change history. He knew she was happy being "The formidable Olivia Pope", but he also knew that as she matured, she'd want more, and it seems like the time has come.

"You know, when you were about 7 years old, I asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up. Do you remember what you said?" Eli asked as he took a seat on the chair next to Liv.

"I said I wanted to be the queen of the world, and you asked me why. I told you I wanted to make the entire world play nice and not fight so much." Liv said as she recalled the same day she had been reflecting on just moments ago.

"I remember sitting you in my lap, and telling you that you couldn't be queen of the world. The pout on your face was priceless." Eli added with a chuckle. To this day, Liv had a pout that could melt the hearts of any man.

"You said the best job to do that would be being president. That I could change the world little by little. That was how I would be the most powerful woman in the world, but I would always be your junior queen. Mommy is the first."

"Mhm. Do you remember when you met President Bush Sr.?"

"I do. He asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I told him I knew what I was going to be. He asked me what, and I told him that I was taking over his office when I grew up. Then I went and sat behind the resolute desk and tried to order pizza." Liv said with a laugh. "I was shocked they actually brought it to me."

"That's because even then, the sitting president was able to spot the future leader of the free world."

"hmmm."

"So have you talked to Fitz about your dreams yet?"

"No. It's just a dream. I could never..."

"You could, you will... When the time is right. And it's gonna be great." Fitz said as he stepped out onto the porch and joined Liv and Eli at the table. The look of shock on Liv's face told him that she wasn't expecting him to be so supportive of the idea of her entering into politics. Fitz had never liked politics, he said it changed people for the worse. Liv smiled as she realized he believed in not only her ability to do great things, but he believed in her ability to remain true to herself.

"Livvie, you are already the most scared of woman in America, why stop there? It's time to do what we do every night pinky."

"What's that Brain?"

"Try and take over the world. And I will never leave your side. One day Livvie, you will be the most powerful woman in the world."

Liv thought about how much things had changed since she and Fitz were smaller. Being president was a dream for all children, but for boys, it was actually possible. Could she break that glass ceiling and show the world that men and women can run a nation just the same? Could she show the nation that women could run the nation just as they ran their households? The more she thought about it, the more she realized that she could in fact break that glass ceiling. When the time was right of course.

"Not yet, when the time is right, I'll know. For now, I'm just happy being Olivia Pope, "most respected, feared crisis manager" to the world, and Livvie Grant "wife, lover, best friend, daughter, and mother" to you all."

"Whenever you're ready, just let us know, we'll be there." Fitz said as he placed his hand lovingly over Liv's. Liv nodded and smiled as she gave a bright smile to her husband and father. She should've known that they would be her number one supporters in all of this. Now, if only she can get their mothers on board, then she'd be truly ready to take the next step.

Fitz stood and kissed Liv on her forehead, then left Eli and Liv to finish their conversation. Fitz walked into the family room to join the children who were laying on the floor watching The Lion King.

As he took a seat on the floor between his children, Fitz couldn't help the tears that were beginning to roll down his eyes as he realized his life was truly perfect. His thoughts drifted to Liv, and how naturally she had taken on the role as mom. How the children had no reservations about her being in their lives. He was blessed beyond measure. Fitz was pulled out of his thoughts by the sound of the phone ringing. He pulled his phone out of his pocket, and looked at the caller ID. An evil grin crossed his face as he stood and went to the study, before accepting the call.

Johnathan Charleston never liked calling clients with bad news, but today, he was honored he was the one that had to deliver this blow. Abby had shown up at his office at 8:45 with a folder full of court documents. Court documents that had been stamped and filed, stating that Mellie no longer had parental rights over the children. To add salt to what would soon be Mellie's gaping wound, papers were attached showing that according to the United States government, Olivia Grant was now legally their mother.

John picked up the phone, and turned it to the lowest setting before placing the call. He knew their would possibly be yelling, and he appreciated the perfect hearing God had given him. He waited as the phone rang, and just when he was sure the phone was about to go to voicemail, Mellie picked up.

"John, please tell me you have something for me!" Mellie said, her voice shaking over the phone. He could tell she was being fake, that she didn't truly want to do anything but cause problems for the Grants, and he couldn't allow that to happen. What he had done may have been considered unethical to many, but if anyone had ever experienced Olivia Pope in action, there is no doubt in his mind that they would have done the same.

John took a deep breath before revealing the contents of the folder he had received, just moments before. He heard a crashing noise, and knew that Mellie had dropped her phone. A few minutes later, a male picked up the phone, and John relayed the same information to him, before offering his "condolences", and ending the call.

John sat back with a glass of brandy in his hand. He wasn't one to drink so early in the morning, but given the circumstances, he felt as if a toast were in order. He had no doubt that once Liv received word of what Mellie was planning, that things would fall into place. Based on the dates stamped on the paperwork, Liv had been expecting this for sometime.

John raised his glass in the air, and downed the liquid inside, praising the woman he prayed he'd never have to come face to face with in any official capacity.

Well played Olivia, well played.

Mellie stood in the center of her room, shaking as John's words played over and over in her head like a broken record. Who the hell did Olivia Pope think she was to waltz into DC and take her husband AND her children, and think nothing of it. True she was the one who walked out, but that wasn't the point. If she ever thought that Fitz would allow another woman... If she ever thought that Fitz would allow Olivia Pope of all people to claim her children as her own, she would have never gone away for as long as she had.

She looked around the room, and began throwing any and everything she deemed breakable, needing to get her frustrations out.

"WHY DOES SHE ALWAYS HAVE TO WIN!?" She cried out as she collapsed into Kenneth's arms.

"Mellie, you said you didn't even want the children. You only wanted to add stress to Olivia and Fitz's life. I know it must be hard to hear another woman has taken over, but we have our own little one to look forward to. One no one can take away from us." Kenneth said soothingly as he rubbed her back.

When Mellie first began her rampage, Kenneth immediately thought about taking the baby and running once she gave birth. He had even gone so far as to contact his attorney. But as he stood there holding his broken girlfriend, he couldn't help but understand that she just needed love... And therapy, and a medicinal cocktail for her issues. He'd stay, and love Mellie as hard as she would allow. They would raise this child together.

The panic began to set, and Mellie began trembling as she realized that once again, Olivia Pope was beating her in this game called life. Before she realized what she was doing, Mellie had picked up her phone, and dialed the number of the man who at one time loved her.

"What do you want Mellie?" Fitz asked as he brought the phone to his ear. He knew why Mellie was calling, and as he heard what he was sure was fake sobbing, Fitz couldn't help but be thankful that Liv was now, and would always be the female influence in the children's lives.

"Fitz, I just received a phone call from my attorney, John Charleston. He had some interesting news to share with me. Is there anything you want to tell me?" She asked as her hand clenched the phone so tightly, she thought she would break it.

Fitz remained quiet for a moment before simply responding "No". There really was nothing he wanted to tell her. Their lives no longer concerned Mellie. She gave that up for whatever she calls herself doing right now.

Mellie took a deep breath before rephrasing her question. "Ok Fitz, is there anything I should know concerning OUR children?" she asked through clenched teeth.

Fitz took a deep breath and sighed. "Mellie, all you need to know-" Fitz was interrupted mid sentence as Liv pulled the phone from his hand, and placed it to her ear.

"Is that Karen is a girl, Jerry is a boy. You no longer have the right to be concerned with what happens in their lives. You lost that right when you abandoned your husband and children for another man. What happened to Andrew by the way? Doesn't matter. I will say this once and only once. If you, EVER, contact or come near MY husband or MY children ever again, you will regret the day you ever decided to fuck with Olivia Grant, or her cubs."

Before Mellie could say another word, Liv disconnected the call, and threw the phone across the room. Fitz looked on in shock as his phone shattered and fell to the floor. His eyes switched between the wall and Liv, and Fitz couldn't help but be turned on by her actions.

Without a word, Fitz pulled Liv into his arms, and claimed her mouth with his. She tensed at first, but immediately melted in Fitz's arms as she knew this was what he needed. Liv was so lost in their kiss, that she hadn't even felt Fitz lift her up, and set her down on the desk. She felt the tearing of her panties under her bright yellow sun dress, and winced in pain. An animalistic moan left her lips as she felt Fitz's fingers, reacquainting themselves between her folds.

"Fitz, everyone is waiting for di..di..dinner." She tried to protest, but the moment he slid one then two his thick fingers inside of her, all thoughts flew out the window.

"Do you want me to stop?" Fitz asked with a devilish grin as Liv began rocking against his hand. He knew she was gone, and that was what he wanted. It was bad enough that she still spent 10 hours a day, six days a week slaying dragons. His pregnant wife didn't need the added stress that was Mellie.

Liv struggled to look into Fitz's eyes as she felt the familiar pressure building up inside of her. "No, don't stop." She begged as she tangled her hands into his hair, and pulled his mouth to hers.

Fitz continued thrusting his fingers in and out of his wife as his thumb brushed across her clit. He felt himself straining against his pants as he swallowed the scream that escaped her lips. Gently, he laid Liv back, and began trailing kisses down her body. When his mouth covered her nub, Fitz sucked hard on her clit, forcing Liv over the edge.

Liv couldn't think as she felt her orgasm take over her, all she knew was that she needed more of this man. He was her drug, and she was more than ready to overdose from him.

She propped herself up on her elbows, as she knew she couldn't sit up fully without his help. It seemed like her belly had popped out over night, and simple tasks, were no longer so simple. "Fitz, please" she begged as she saw Fitz's mouth glistening with her essence.

Fitz stood and looked into Liv's eyes as his hands cupped her sensitive breasts. He began massaging them, and noticed the stimulation that was occurring from this touch alone. He gently took each nipple between his fingers, and pinched hard enough for Liv to feel, but gentle enough as to not cause too much pain. Before he realized what was happening, Liv's body tensed up, and she came hard, just from him stimulating her nipples. That was something that had never happened before, but he would definitely use this new revelation to his advantage in days to come.

Liv fell back against the desk feeling like her body had just betrayed her. Never had she been brought to climax by nipple stimulation, but dammed if it didn't feel amazing.

"Please what, Livvie?" Fitz said, reminding Liv of her earlier plea. Through hooded eyes, and shallow breathing, Liv looked up at Fitz and responded "Fuck me"

Fitz wasted no time discarding his pants and shirt. He stepped further between Liv's legs, and slid immediately into her.

"Fuck" they both cried out as Liv's body was swallowing his massive erection. He had always fit her perfectly, always stretching her walls as he entered her. But this time, the force of the grip around his shaft, almost caused Fitz to explode before he was completely embedded inside of her.

Fitz hooked his arms under Liv's knees, and lifted them slightly as he began thrusting inside of her. He knew this was more than him pleasuring his wife as the feeling in the moment was beyond intense. He watched Liv responding to the way their bodies were coming together, and as her eyes sprang open and locked with his, he knew she felt it too. They watched each other as Liv began thrusting against him as best she could. Fitz released one of her legs, and slid his fingers through hers as they brought each other the most intimate of pleasures. The look in their eyes told the other that this moment was a moment of healing. Far too much shit had happened over the past few months, but it was finally over. Now, they could move on and become an ever stronger family unit than ever before.

Fitz knew Liv was close, and lifted her restrained leg even higher. When his hand gravitated towards her clit, he was shocked she swatted him away.

"Not yet" she panted, as her free hand slid towards his chest.

Liv looked up at Fitz's sweat glistened body, and moaned as she took his the way his muscles were flexing as he balanced himself over her. She watched as his eyes roamed her body, and drifted back to her face to make sure she was being satisfied completely. The love and adoration of their actions, filled her will a sense of comfort. She couldn't help but be thankful that this man was hers.

Fitz felt her walls clenching around him, and his eyes locked with hers. "I love you" was all he said as Liv's hand grasped his tightly, and her body exploded once again.

Once she came down from her orgasm, Fitz's thrusts picked up in pace. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he began thrust into her at a rapid pace. Knowing he was close, Liv reached out and grabbed his free hand with her own, and intertwined their fingers. "I love you too, I'm in love with you too." was all she needed to say, as Fitz reached his peaked. With a strangled cry, he emptied himself deep inside her walls.

It took a few moments for them to compose their breathing before Fitz finally withdrew from her body. They both groaned in disapproval as the moment was officially over.

Fitz helped Liv sit up, before stepping back into his clothes. When he went to grab his shirt, he noticed his phone was still on the floor in pieces.

"Liv, the phone..." Fitz said as he tried to figure out how his wife could hurl something against the wall with such force it left a dent in it.

"Fitz, I'll have another overnighted to my office. My contacts were backed up so I'll be fine." Liv replied, still not realizing Fitz's problem. She was still too high in the moment to be able to think clearly.

"Livvie, I know your contacts are backed up which is great. But honey, that was MY phone."

Liv's mouth fell open and tears filled her eyes as she realized that she had in fact taken that phone out of Fitz's hand. "Baby, I am so, so, so, so very sorry. I..."

"Shhh, it's ok. I just want to talk about how sexy you are when you're mad at someone who isn't me." Fitz said as he pulled Liv into his lap and began kissing her neck.

"Really? You don't think I'm a whale?" Liv asked as Fitz began rubbing her belly.

"No, in fact the doctor wants you to gain a little weight this month. You're nothing but babies!"

"Fitz, I eat, believe me I eat. They just steal all of my food!"

"Ok, so what have you had to eat today so far?" Fitz asked, seriously not believing she had eaten more than the two crêpes she had earlier.

"So far today I've had an apple, two crêpes, Cobb salad, grilled chicken breast smothered in onions and mushrooms, a milkshake, dad bought me and the kids an ice cream cone, a spinach, feta, and garlic roasted tomato omelet, tacos... oh and a slice of pizza that was in the fridge." Liv said as she placed her hand over Fitz's on her stomach.

Fitz looked at his clock and realized that Liv had eaten so much more than he thought. "So, I guess you don't want dinner then?" Fitz asked as he was almost full just hearing how much food she had consumed in one day.

"Oh no, we're hungry and you are taking us all out to dinner." Liv said as she rested her head on Fitz's chest. Liv closed her eyes as she listened to the calming sounds of Fitz's heartbeat and before they knew it, she had fallen asleep.

When he heard the changing in her breathing pattern, Fitz lifted Liv in his arms and carried her upstairs to the bedroom. He laid her down and tucked her in, before taking a quick shower, then setting off to find something for her to eat when she woke up. They still had a few hours before dinner, and Fitz didn't want Liv to have to wait.

When he went back downstairs, the children were now watching Toy Story, and he blushed as all adult eyes focused on him, giving him a knowing look. Fitz knew they must've heard them, and confirming or denying was definitely not an option. He simply shrugged and rejoined the kids on the floor, and pulled them both into his arms.

Eli looked to Gerry, then to their wives, and breathed a sigh of relief that things were finally going to settle down for the newlyweds. Not that everything was out of the way, but things would be calm for now. The next task would be preparing for the twins. Eli wrapped his arms around Maya and Gerry wrapped his around Susan. For the first time in a long time, they were beginning to see a glimpse of normal. For the first time in 35 years, all four parents EXHALED.

So Liv is considering entering politics. Let me know what you all think, and if enough people are for the idea of Liv possibly running for president later in the story, I'll most likely take that route. The drama is pretty much over. There may be one or two bumps, but nothing normal couples don't experience. leave me your thoughts, and I'll be back soon.
