DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN SCANDAL OR GREYS
**FLASHBACK**
Olivia nervously walked up to the front door of her parent's house. She knew everyone would be there including both of her sisters, Laura and Angela and her brother, Henry. She knocks on the door and waits until she's greeted by her brother.
"Libby!" He exclaims as he pulls her in for a tight hug. Once they enter the house, both of her older sisters greet her coldly. There had always been tension between them, why is what she doesn't know. Then she sees her father and mother in the kitchen who both hug her. She hadn't been home in while since that was all they way in Maine and she lived in Seattle but her mother invited her to a family dinner and she couldn't just say no and she had some news that she had to say in person. Once dinner was ready, they all sat down and ate, telling each other about what they had been doing with their lives and when it was Olivia's turn she took a deep breath before dropping the bomb.
"I'm engaged." She says and a congratulations flood in from her brother and surprisingly both of her sisters. Then she looks at her father.
"Dad?" She says nervously.
"He finally did it." Her father says and she's confused.
"What?" She questioned.
"Jake asked for my permission, Livvy. I'm happy for you. He's a good man." Her father says and she smiles brightly but when she looks over at her mother, she's disappointment in her eyes.
"Does anyone want dessert? I made apple pie." Her mother says quickly avoiding the new as she stands up and of course her brother and father say yes causing her mother to rush into the kitchen but Olivia quickly followed.
"Mom?" Olivia questioned startling her mother.
"Libby, what's wrong?" Her mother says nervously.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Liv asked worriedly
"What are you talking about?" Her mother says pulling the pie out of the oven and grabbing plates.
"You didn't respond when I told you I was getting married. What's wrong?" Olivia says.
"Nothing is wrong" her mother says as she gets a knife from the utensil drawer and begins to cut pieces.
"Yes, something is wrong?" Olivia pushed and her mother let out an angry sigh.
"I do not like Jake and I don't think you should marry him." Her mother says looking up from what she was doing and setting the knife to the side.
"What are you talking about? What's wrong with Jake?" Olivia questioned surprised by what her mother said.
"He's not right for you." Her mother said looking her straight in the eye.
"What do you mean? He's perfect." Olivia stressed.
"No he's not, he wrong for you and I don't think you should marry him, I refuse to let you marry him." Her mother says
"You refuse? Who are you to tell me who I should marry?" Olivia raised her voice at her mother.
"Since I became you mother!" And now they're shouting at each other, making the argument known to the rest of the family.
"It's because he's white isn't it?" Olivia shouts back.
"How dare you have audacity to accuse me of being racist!" Her mother yells.
"It's not racism, you just don't want your daughter to marry a white man." Olivia says furiously.
"And maybe I don't." Her mother says and Olivia rolls her eyes.
"Then don't bother coming to the wedding!" Olivia yells and her mother is shocked.
"Fine." Her mother says
"Fine?" Olivia questioned angrily.
"I won't come. I refuse to see you marry him." Her mother says and that's when the tears appear but she refuses to let them fall as she walks out of the kitchen to rest of her family who all seem to be staring at her. She just hugs her father and brother before saying goodbye and walking out the door.
**End Of Flashback**
"Libby." She hears her mother say almost in tears.
"Evelyn." Olivia replies coldly.
"Libby, please don't be like that." Her mother begs on the other end.
"Oh so I'm just suppose to forget that you told me to abort my daughter or that at my father's funeral you just glared and scowled at me." Olivia says angrily.
"Olivia!" Her mother says into the phone and Liv stops. Her mother has never once called her by her full name. It always been Liv or Libby.
"Mom?" Olivia says worriedly.
"I need your help." Her mother says in tears.
"You need my help?" Olivia says.
"I have a brain tumor." Her mother says and Olivia stops almost dropping the phone.
"You have a brain tumor?" Olivia says shocked.
"I have a brain tumor. And my doctor says there's nothing he can do about it and radiation had no affect." Her mother says and tears begin to run down Olivia's face.
"So how am I supposed to help you? I'm not a brain surgeon." Olivia says
"I know but you work with the best." Her mother says and Olivia sighs.
"And you want me to see what he can do." Olivia says.
"Please, that's all I ask. My doctor said he would email you my scans so you could show ." Evenly says.
"Okay." Olivia says.
"Okay" her mother questioned.
"I'll see what he can do." Olivia said and she hears her mother let out a sigh of release.
"Thank you." Her mother says.
"I love you." Her mother says after a minute of silence.
"I know." Olivia says before hanging up the phone. The next day Olivia wasn't on call so she decided to take Lily to the park. She sat down on the bench and watched Lily play and she couldn't help but to think of the first time she and Jake took Lily there.
**FLASHBACK**
It was just after Lily's first birthday. Jake said it would fun to get some fresh air so they put Lily in the stroller and walked to the park.
"Why exactly did we come to the park again?" Olivia asked as they just arrive.
"Because,Carrie, its fresh air. All of us need a little of it." He says with a smile and she smiles back, giving him a quick peck on the lips before pushing the stroller over to a bench. He just gave her a warm fuzzy feeling inside. She takes a sea at and moved the stroller so Lily was facing her
"What was that for?" Jake says as he takes a seat right next to her.
"You guess?" She says and he smirks.
"Because I'm the best husband ever." He says while she was tickling Lily in the stroller.
"I don't know about." She teases.
"Well, Noey thinks so, don't you." He says taking Lily out of the stroller and she gurgles with a smile. Jake was the only person who called Lily that. It was special father thing, the special nickname a father gave his daughter.
"Well she's a baby." Liv said taking Lily from him and bouncing her up and down.
"No, she our extremely smart baby." He corrects and she rolls her eyes. He always loved to correct her.
**End of Flashback**
Olivia hadn't even realized she was crying until her daughter ran up to her.
"What's wrong, mommy?" Lily asked and Olivia wiped away her tears.
"Nothing baby, mommy's okay." Liv said and her daughter quickly hugged her.
"I love you mommy." Lily says before running off to go play.
"Need some company.?" She hears and looks up to see Fitz standing over to the side.
"Are you following me?" She asks and he laughs taking a seat next to her on the park bench.
"No, this so happens to be a coincidence." He says and she let's out a laugh.
"Really, a coincidence." She says and he nods.
"So, what are you doing here?" He asks.
"I decided to take my daughter to the park." She said pointing at Lily who was happily playing on the swings.
"What are you doing here?" She asked and he shrugged his shoulders.
"Fresh air." He says.
"Only fresh air?" She says with a knowing look.
"Teddy insisted." He says and she laughs a little.
"So when do you plan on getting me that coffee?" She asks with a smile.
"When ever you're ready." He flirts and she smiles again. There's just something about him that makes her smile.
"Okay." She says standing up, she had
"Wait." He says and she turns around.
"Call me when you're ready." He says with a bright smile and takes out a little card from his pocket. She takes it and flashes him one more smile before walking off in the direction of her daughter.

When Fitz got back home he was greeted by all of his children huddled together in the living room.
"What are you guys doing?" Fitz asked standing in the doorway of the living room.
"We have a question to ask you." Jerry starts off. At the age of sixteen, he was a very intelligent boy, observant. He could always tell when his father was upset or sad which was a lot when he was married to Mellie.
"Shoot." Fitz says.
"What's going on with you and Teddy's doctor?" Karen asked and Fitz is shocked. He didn't expect this type of question.
"Why do you suspect there's something going on?" He replies calmly.
"Because when I was in the hospital, you kept staring at her and you never stared at mom like that." Teddy chimes in
"You like her don't you?" Jerry says and Fitz smiles. He did like her, she was breathtakingly beautiful and intelligent. There was just something about her smile, her laugh that made him want to know everything about her.
"He does!" Karen says and Fitz looks over all of his children.
"Why are you so interested?" He says sitting on the arm of the couch.
"Because we want you to be happy." Karen says.
"Well I am happy with you guys." He says and they all roll their eyes.
"Yea but mom got to be happy with Josh. Its your turn."Jerry says.
"Well how about this. As soon as something happens, you guys will be the first ones I tell." Fitz says and they nod.
"So what do you want for lunch?" Fitz asked leaving the living room to the kitchen.
"Pizza!" All three of his children say in unison.
"Pizza it is." Fitz agrees.

When Olivia got home, she made Lily lunch and checked her email to see if her mother's doctor sent her scans. When she saw it she took a deep breath before she opened it. She gasped when she saw it, it was a huge tumor that was in the frontal lobe. She was going to show Derek as soon as she got in tomorrow.
The next day:
"Be good today, okay." Olivia says as she gives Lily her backpack and lunch box.
"Okay mommy, love you." Lily says with a smile.
"Love you too, sweetheart." Liv says and watches her little girl enter the school before heading to the hospital. Once she gets there she changes into her scrubs and labcoat and pages Derek.
"You paged." Derek says approaching her at a nurses station.
"Yes I did and I want to show you something." She says directing him to her office. Once they got there she turned on her computer and showed him the scans.
"Woah, that is a big tumor." He said and she nodded.
"Do you think there's anything you can do about it?" Liv asked and he studied it some more.
"I could remove it surgically but not all at one time." Derek says.
"So it would take more than one surgery but you can remove it?" Olivia asks hopefully.
"Yea, I would just need to take some scans but I can remove it. Who's the patient?" Derek asks and she sighs.
"My mother" Olivia says quietly.
"Oh." Derek says not really knowing what do .
"Its okay. Will you perform the surgery?" She asks and he nods.
"Of course." He says and she nods.
"Thank you." She says with a small smile.
"No problem." He says before walking out of the room.
