A/N: I apologize to the people who don't like my fic, or agree with the things I write. I write what I want to write and how I want things to be, and there's plenty of people that want to read it as well. I'm 99% sure that if you don't like it, you wouldn't have made it this far anyway, however.

Mellie's in the bathroom with her head hovered over the toilet. Her morning sickness with this baby is worse than her morning sickness when any of her other pregnancies. This is the absolute worst. She finds herself in the bathroom at least 5 times a day, and even more often, she finds herself throwing up into a trash can.

She hates this. She realizes that yes, she did sign up for this. And yes, she did know that she was going to be sick. But she didn't expect it to be this bad. At least when she had morning sickness with Jerry, Fitz was there to hold her hair back. He had tried to be there when she was pregnant with the twins, but it was hard to run to your wife's side every ten seconds when you had a country to run. It was even harder now, considering that more often than not, he had three babies running around his office while he tried to work. Running to Mellie's side when she got sick just wasn't an option.

But he wanted to. If he knew when she was sick, he would drop everything and run to her. Because that's who he was now. That's who he had always been, but his judgement had been clouded. If Mellie told him when she was having morning sickness or when she was sick, he would be with her, holding her hair and rubbing her back every single time. But he knew that there was no chance of her telling him, since he was busy and she didn't want him leaving important meetings or dropping everything for her.

Later that night, she was giving Bellamy a bath when Karen walked in the bathroom. She sat down on the counter and watched Mellie, taking a deep breath as she thought about how she was going to tell Mellie what she needed to tell her. Mellie hadn't even noticed her until she started speaking. "Mom?" Karen asked and Mellie just made a noise to let her know that she was listening. "You want to know why I'm here?"

Mellie had wanted to know that since her daughter had shown up in her bedroom a week before. But she hadn't pushed her. Honestly, she had forgotten about it. She had been too caught up in her pregnancy to even think about why Karen was here. She nodded when her daughter asked the question and Karen continued to speak, her voice shaky. "I, uh, I got busted smoking with a boy in his room...and we weren't exactly clothed..."

Mellie's head shot back to Karen and within seconds, her whole world began to spin. She had let go of Bellamy when she looked at Karen and she slipped, falling and hitting her head on the edge of the big bathtub. The blood began gushing into the water and Mellie's heart stopped. "Go get your father and call 911!" Mellie panicked as she took her youngest daughter out of the tub and wrapped her in a towel. She couldn't figure out where the blood was coming from and she just put another towel over her head, breathing hard as she tried to calm the screaming baby. "Shh...it's okay princess. It's gonna be okay." She told her, rocking her gently as she stood up, running to go meet her husband.

Fitz was running out of his office and him and Mellie nearly crashed into one another. Mellie was a mess, sobbing and bawling almost as much as Bellamy. Fitz comforted his wife until the paramedics showed up and they went with their daughter to the hospital. It was the second time in the past year that they were here with one of the twins and Mellie felt terrible.

"We're bad parents...I'm a bad mom." Mellie mumbled to her husband as the doctors worked on their baby girl, trying to stop the bleeding. Fitz just wrapped an arm around her, sighing as he kissed the top of her head and disagreed with every word that she said. "I...I should've kept my eyes on her no matter what. I should have never let go of her. Karen should've been able to tell me that she was a stripper and I should have still kept my hands on Bells..." She sucked in a breath and wiped her tears from her face.

"Mels, it was instinct, baby. It's not your fault...she should have never told you that while you were giving Bella a bath. That was dumb on her part. This wasn't your fault, baby..." He held her close, holding her in his arms as they waited.

Relief washed over the both of them a few hours later when the doctors came up to them and told them that Bellamy would be okay. Mellie was half asleep in Fitz's arms, but refused to go to sleep until she knew how her daughter was doing. By the time they got a mile from the hospital on their way back home, both Mellie and Bellamy were passed out, Mellie holding Bellamy in her arms as the two of them slept.

Fitz helped them up to the residence and helped them both into Mellie and Fitz's bed before he went to go find his daughter. He went into her room and stood in the doorway, staring at her. "Dad...how's Bella?" She asked.

"She's fine. Sleeping with your mother in our bedroom." He looked at his daughter, not wasting any time as he switched subjects. "What's this I hear about you getting expelled for smoking? While you were naked in bed with another boy?" Fitz questioned.

Karen was speechless. She didn't know how to respond to that. "I. Uh. It's true..." She mumbled, knowing that it was impossible to try and justify it. There was no justifying it.

Fitz just sighed and nodded his head. "I'll be looking for another boarding school in the morning." He told her and Karen just nodded.

"Thank you." She didn't want to be here. She hated it here. She hated her parents. Here is where her brother died. Here is where her parents completely changed. This White House is the reason that her brother had died. If they hadn't been in the White House, if her father had never been president, her brother would still be alive. She had always resented her parents and she resented them even more for this.

"I love you." Fitz told her and she just nodded. He sighed and went back to his room, changing and crawling into bed with Bellamy and Mellie. He chuckled to himself when he noticed two extra bodies curled up to his wife, and he couldn't help but think that they definitely needed a bigger bed. Especially with another baby on the way. He would look into that in the morning as well.

Fitz wrapped an arm around Teddy, who he thought was asleep until he heard the little boy's quiet voice. "Daddy?" He whispered.

"Yeah buddy?"

"Me loves you." Teddy told him, crawling up and kissing Fitz's cheek. "More than alls the stars." He cuddled into Fitz. "To infinitys and beyond."

Fitz smiled, kissing Teddy's head. "I love you too Buzz. Goodnight, little man." He held his son, unable to stop smiling.

"Yous the best daddy in the whole wide worlds." Teddy told him, yawning before falling asleep curled up close to his father. Fitz fell asleep shortly after, his heart melting as he thought about how lucky he was to have the amazing family that he did.
