AN: Sooooo, it's been a few days, but I have a legitimate reason! I'm super duper busy this week; I'm going out of town this weekend and it's like all these huge assignments are due before I leave :/ I wanted to give you guys this chapter while it was fresh and hot because who knows when I'll be able to write again (don't I always say that? lol).

I am LOVING you guys' reactions and reviews for the last chapter. I couldn't get rid of Amanda just yet, and you will be seeing some more of her for the story. I was mostly surprised at everyone saying Olivia needed to get the hell up lol! DIDN'T SHE?! But seriously, when something that big comes out nowhere and hits you, it's like WHOA! I really laughed so hard at basically all of you calling Amanda "that bitch" lol. You guys are so funny and make writing these stories so enjoyable.

Okay, So I'm warning you guys from now, you'll definitely hate me after this chapter. BUT do not, I repeat, do NOT jump to any conclusions yet. There will be some flashbacks in the next few chapters to give a little back story, which will make everything a bit clearer. In other news, KW FINALLY revealed that she was pregnant (as if we all didn't know already, hmph!). I'm so happy for her! I've been waiting on the announcement FOREVER lol. I hope Shonda writes it into the show (I had originally thought there was going to be a pregnancy reveal at the end of season 2, with Olivia not being sure who the was), and I'm hoping that's the story line we get. Could you imagine the scandal around her not knowing if the baby was Fitz's or Jake's (we're all rooting for Fitz here, Jake who?!). Anyways, enjoy the chapter!

"Olivia honey, where are you love?", Marsha calls out as she walks into the front door. She knows Olivia has to be inside because the front door was left unlock for her arrival. She had gotten the phone call from Olivia about Fitz's arrest less than an hour ago, and she relayed the message on to Anthony, who went straight to work to find out more information about the problem. Kelly trailed behind her mother as they walked around the house, trying to find Olivia. It didn't take long for them to find her curled up on the couch, flipping back and forth between news stations.

BREAKING NEWS: We are now getting reports that Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III, the first born child of director Anthony and actress Marsha Grant, has been taken into custody for an alleged sexual assault.

...Grant III, best known as Fitz, who has his own architecture and design business based right here in Miami, was arrested this morning for sexual assault.

...The first child of two very famous parents, Grant has opted out of the spotlight for the majority of his life, and many might not even know who he is. But surely, with such serious accusations floating around, all eyes are now on Fitz.

...He was arrested in front of his house this afternoon and has been taken to the Miami-Dade Police Department for further questioning.

"Liv, you shouldn't be watching that", Kelly said, standing in front of her to block the rumors spreading all over the television.

"Olivia darling, are you okay? I know you've had a rough morning but sweety, everything's gonna be okay. Fitz will be alright. We will not let this girl get away with such accusations against my son".

"I knew that bitch was trouble. I knew Amanda couldn't be trusted. I told Fitz to stay away from her when I saw her at the hospital. A woman always knows!"

"Kelly, your mouth!"

Their voices keep rambling on and all Olivia could focus on was the revealing of Amanda's identity. She knew her name sounded all too familiar. It was the nurse at the hospital, the one she wanted taken off of her case. The one who showed an obvious interest in Fitz. The one she could have sworn wanted to kill her. Amanda Tanner. Olivia couldn't believe it. But why? Why now? Why him? Olivia had been released from the hospital a few weeks ago and Amanda had been taken off her case days before that. Had Fitz seen her after Olivia came back home? Was he cheating on her? Did he really assault her? Her thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of the two women around her calling for her attention.

"Olivia, we're going to meet up with Anthony to discuss further legal action. Why don't you go ahead down to the police station and we will all meet you there with the twins? I can have a car sent for you.."

"Yeah Liv, get up off this couch..", Kelly said, reaching for Olivia's hand, attempting to help her out of her seat. "...nothing good will come out of you sulk- OH MY GOD! IS THAT...", she screamed out, looking down at Olivia's hand. "OH MY GOD!", Kelly squealed louder, drawing both Olivia and Marsha's attention to what she was pointing at.

In all of the commotion, Olivia had forgotten about her engagement ring on her finger and the fact that she and Fitz hadn't been able to tell anyone the good news. Their moment of happiness had been cut short with all of the drama surrounding Fitz. She felt guilty for not only temporarily forgetting that she was newly engaged, but also that Fitz's family had to find out under such circumstances, without him present beside her.

"You guys are getting married?!", Kelly asked the obvious, jumping up and down with excitement. Her long dirty blonde ponytail shook wildly with every movement of her body, as she held on to Olivia's left hand.

"Let me see!", Marsha dragged Olivia's hand from Kelly, the both of them handling her like an old rag doll. "Oh my Olivia! This ring is beautiful! When did this happen?!"

Olivia smiled to herself; seeing his mother and sister overcome with such joy about her and Fitz getting married made her so happy. It showed her how well they supported their relationship and how they welcomed her into their family.

"Last night. He proposed last night. And he built us a house. A brand new, huge, absolutely beautiful house. I'm sorry, we were planning on giving everyone the good news today..", she paused, starting to feel sad again.

"Olivia sweetie, please don't let this bump in the road cause any issues. You've made my son so happy and I am forever grateful for that. You're a beautiful person, inside and out. I am so happy that you will become a part of this family", Marsha reached down to hug her, rubbing her back as she squeezed her tightly. After a moment, she pulled back, allowing Kelly to give Olivia a hug of her own.

"Yeah, what the old lady said", she said, causing the women to all laugh together. Marsha and Kelly left shortly after, allowing Olivia to shower and get dressed before the car came to bring her to the police station. She sat in the back of the car, a million thoughts running her through her mind. She suddenly felt herself becoming very upset and the thought eating at her the most let her know just exactly who she needed to be so angry with.

Olivia held her head high as she walked through the halls of the police station. She heard the whispers and saw the fingers pointing to her direction as she was escorted by two officers to the room where they were holding Fitz for questioning. Apparently, one of Fitz's neighbors had been out walking their dog at the time of his arrest and caught the whole scene on her camera phone, posting the video to her YouTube account sending the link to her Twitter page. The video was picked up by the local news stations and Olivia's face had been plastered on nearly every television screen, although her true identity had yet to be discovered and revealed.

She shielded her left hand with her right, trying to hide the rock on her finger, not wanting to add anymore fuel to the fire and sparing her friends having to find out about her engagement from the still-developing news story. She wore a navy blue v-neck sweater, skin tight denim-washed jeans and a pair of aviator frames. Her hair was freshly pressed in a high, tight ponytail; she was a force that could not be fucked with as the heels of her black knee-high leather boots clacked against the marble tile.

When she approached the room, one of the officers walking next to her stood before the door, warning Olivia that she only had a few moments to speak with Fitz before the officers came in to question him. She nodded and inhaled a huge breath, slipping her shades above her head as she stepped into the room. She exhaled slowly when she saw him, sitting in a chair with his head down in his lap, his hands still in handcuffs.

"Fitz", she whispered, alerting him of her presence. His head popped up at the sound of her voice and a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes appeared on his face.

"Livvie", his voice sounding small. "Baby, are you okay?", he asked as she walked over to him, grabbing his face in her hands, planting a soft kiss against his lips.

"I should be the one asking that question". Her hands slid down his face and she walked away from him, sitting is the seat across from him. "Tell me what happened."

"Liv, I don't know. They're not telling me anything. All I know is that Amanda says that I assaulted her. Olivia, I promise you she's lying".

"Is she really?", she crossed her legs, resting her intertwined fingers on her knee, her ring now in plain sight.

"What?", he asked, shocked and confused. Did she really think that he did it? That he could ever do that?

"Is she lying Fitzgerald?", she said smugly, trying to keep the anger that was boiling inside of her under control.

"Olivia, what the hell do you mean? Are you really asking me if I assaulted that woman?", his face turning a shade of pink.

"Oh Fitz honey, I know for sure you didn't assault her. You're not sick, you're not foolish. There's no way that I could lie next to a rapist every night, not the way you sleep so peacefully. However, it is quite possible for a liar to have me curled up in his arms, to be sitting right across from me".

"What the fuck are you saying to me right now?", he raised his voice, clearly very upset at her accusations.

"There's a thing called 'Women's Intuition' Fitz. You see, I knew the name Amanda Tanner sounded familiar. She's the nurse from the hospital. The same nurse that was at your service after the accident. The same nurse that was at my service for nearly five months, in which you asked why I wanted to get rid of her. The same nurse that I assumed had some sort of feelings for you. Apparently, Amanda was also the same nurse Kelly warned you about. The same nurse that shrugged it off much too calmly when she heard me telling you how I didn't want her crazy ass anywhere near me. Now, what I'm trying to figure out here is why she came after you? I'm the one who wanted her gone and you practically defended her. I mean, she basically fawned over you to me. I was the only thing that stopped her from getting to you, so why did she go after you instead of going after me?"

"Livvie..."

"No Fitz, why is she going after you? What reason did YOU give her to go after you? What did YOU do Fitz? Did you fuck her?"

"No Olivia, I didn't fuck her..."

"Cut the shit Fitzgerald! WHAT. DID. YOU. DO?!"

Flashback

It was another night of Fitz sitting by Olivia's beside, holding her hand for hours as he waited for some sort of signal that she would be waking up soon. He was growing frustrated at the whole situation. It had been a whole two months and he was just tired of it all. He really just wanted his Olivia back.

He slowly rose out of his seat, brushing Olivia's hair from her face as he pressed his lips to hers. He knew he shouldn't, he knew that it was just a painful reminder of how far away they were from each other. He ran his finger along her cheek, sighing deeply as he turned to walk out of her room.

He fondled his pockets for the car keys as he walked through the parking garage. He wanted nothing more than to be getting home as quick as possible, taking a shower before snuggling his face into the pillows he sprayed with her perfume. He nearly jumped out of his when he felt a finger tap his shoulder. He turned around to see Amanda standing behind him, her scrubs soaked with an iced coffee.

"Shit, Amanda, I'm so sorry! I felt a touch and I freaked out. I didn't even mean...I'm sorry. You're a mess. Please, let me help you clean that up".

"Oh Fitz, it's okay. I've gotten way worse than iced coffee on myself. I'm a nurse, remember, I'm always prepared for accidents like this. Plus, I have on an undershirt. What the hell were you thinking so hard about? I've been calling your name and trying to get your attention from back inside."

"I'm sorry. Maybe I should stop saying that huh?", he laughed at himself and the situation. "It's great that you're prepared for when morons like me get creeped out and have you walking around covered in Starbucks", the both of them now laughing. "I was completely zoned out. I've had a pretty long day at work and then coming here and having to see Olivia in the condition..."

"I understand", she cut him off at the mention of Olivia's name. "We all have rough days. You don't have to apologize for it", she smiled at him, glad for them to be engaged in some sort of conversation.

"Yeah. You said you were calling me? Was there something you needed?"

"Oh, no. My shift was over and I was heading out and I saw you walking out, so I figured we could walk together. Maybe catch up? I haven't seen much of you in awhile..."

"Yeah, work. Sorry. But hey, let me help you to your car, it's the least I could do, right?", she nodded and they walked off into the direction of her car. After walking and conversing for a few minutes, they reached her car, realizing that they were parked right next to each other.

"Hey, can you do me a favor and help me get this off? I don't want this stuff all in my hair..", she asked him, tugging at the hem of her shirt. Thinking it was the least he could do, he nodded, stepping in to carefully pull her shirt off, trying his hardest to avoid making the mess even worse. She leaned back, bending slightly forward and sticking her arms out for him to pull off her shirt. Once it was off, she lifted her head back up and stood tall in front of him.

Fitz looked at her, proud that he managed to not make the situation any worse. She stood before him, in her pale pink scrub pants and a white spaghetti strap top. He looked her body over, just as any normal man would, and was impressed with what he saw. He was greeted by imprint of her hardened nipples against her shirt and was almost certain that it was due to the ice cold drink.

"Fitz…hello…can you hear me?", she waved her hands in front of him, trying to get his attention.

"I'm sorry, you said something?"

"Never mind. Maybe you should get home, clearly you've got a lot on your mind. Don't let me distract you…", she turned away, about to open her car door when he reached for her arm, stopping her.

"Amanda, look, I'm sorry. You've been nothing but kind to me and helpful to Olivia. I've been such an ass and no one deserves that, you don't deserve that", he chuckled in his mind, thinking of how Kelly's warnings had been so unnecessary. Amanda was a sweetheart. She seemed a little jittery and touchy feely, but she was a nurse. It was her job to make the patient and their family feel comfortable right? Fitz was comfortable, wasn't he?

"Thank you", she whispered, looking down at her feet. He reached out for her chin, tilting her head upwards and leaned in, placing a soft kiss against her lips. "Fitz?", she pulled her head back, looking over him, a bit confused. He took her lips in his again, running his hands down to her waist, her hands wrapping around his neck. She moved her body closer to his, pushing into him, causing his back to slam against his car door..."

"Livvie, baby, I'm so sorry. Please, please say something", he stared at her, tears streaming down his face. She stared back at him, her face hard as stone, showing no emotion. She took a deep breath, stood up from her seat and grabbed her purse, heading for the door.

"Olivia, baby, please don't leave! I made a mistake. I promise, it didn't mean anything, she doesn't mean anything to me. I love you Olivia, please, don't do this..", he begged and pleaded, causing her to stop in her tracks. She turned around in his direction, walking to his side of the room and stood before him. He looked up, waiting for her to say something when he felt the sting of her open hand connecting with his cheek.

"Liv...", he croaked, rubbing his face, knowing that there would surely be an imprint of her hand. She turned again, this time walking out of the room.

"Pretty Boy's afraid to talk huh? Pretty Boy, are you afraid of jail? I'm sure you weren't afraid to attack Amanda, were you Pretty Boy?", one of the arresting officers taunted Fitz, as he sat in a chair with his head down.

"He refuses to speak without a lawyer present", the other arresting officer said, before turning in Fitz's direction. "You're smart, aren't you Pretty Boy? Did your rich mommy and daddy teach you what to do when you got arrested for violating a woman? God, you famous kids are all the same. Think because you got all the money in the world you don't have to follow laws? Mommy and Daddy will always bail you out, right? You're all full of shit! I can't wait to see you getting what's coming to you!"

Fitz paid neither officer any mind. His mind, his thoughts, everything was all consumed by Olivia. He told her the truth, knowing it would hurt her, knowing that he'd feel more guilty for causing her pain than for keeping a secret. He had to tell her. He should have told her before, but at the time, so many things were going on and it completely slipped his mind. Plus, with her finally waking out of the coma, he didn't want to have to damper her spirits. He was so lost in his thoughts, he didn't even realize that someone else had come into the room until he heard another voice speaking.

"I think it's quite disgusting to taunt someone who's clearly innocent. Fitzgerald doesn't have any arrest records; he has never been in trouble with the law and this might in fact be his first time ever being in handcuffs, being in a police station period. Yes, he's the child of two wealthy celebrities, but he's not spoiled. He doesn't live in the spotlight. He lives just like the rest of us. I would appreciate it if you two would do your research before producing more rumors for this already false situation we're in now".

"And you are?", one of the officers asked.

"His lawyer. Now, will you please give my client a few moments of privacy before we begin the questioning?". The officers left the room, leaving Fitz and his lawyer to watch them walk out the door, letting it shut behind them.

The room was silent, neither of the speaking, the both of them just staring at one another. Fitz's mood had gone from sadness to anger. His face was hardened and if it wasn't for the handcuffs and the fact that he was already in a deep shit hole, he was pretty sure he would have already pounced across the table. It was minutes before anyone spoke a word, Fitz being the first one to break the ice.

"Why are you here?"

AN: So, here we have a little intake on something happening between Fitz and Amanda. Butttt, it might not be what you all think it is OR maybe it is lol!. So, Olivia's face is everywhere, Fitz's life out of the spotlight has been pushed to the forefront, his parents are being named dropped everywhere, complete chaos! I loved Olivia's scene walking down the hallway and how she walked out of the room. And Fitz's lawyer showed up…who is it?! I'm sure you're all dying to know lol. Or maybe you guys already do? (:

Anyways, it's Scandal Thursdayyy! I'm excited to see this week's episode…simply because I can't wait to see Olivia strut in that dress! I'm dying to see the shoes and the clutch too because I just KNOW they're gonna be perfect. And we all know that whenever they're in the same spot together and Olivia has on a white dress, they always end back up in each other's arms. Shonda better not play with me! I need Olitz to be back together again lol! Thank you all for the reviews, comments, and suggestions. I appreciate you all so much! Until next time..
