That night after Liv put Lily to sleep, she was just watching TV when her phone rang. She answered without looking at the contact.

"Hello" Olivia said.

"Liv, Hi." She heard Sarah Ballard on the other end.

"Oh, um Mrs. Ballard, hi." Olivia said shocked and muted the TV. She hadn't seen or heard from Jake's mother in 6 months.

"Liv, you know I want you to call me Sarah.

"Yes, I just...I hadn't heard from you in a while. It was a surprise." Olivia says.

"I know. How have you been?" asked

"I've...been fine. I've been okay." Liv replied.

"And Lily?"

"She's more quiet, doesn't talk as much but she's fine." Olivia said.

"I was wondering if we could have lunch so I could see you and my granddaughter." Sarah said hopefully. Sarah had always liked Olivia, she changed Jake in the best way, she thought Liv was an amazing mother to Lily and made Jake happier then ever.

"Um...sure that's fine." Olivia said.

"Is Saturday okay?" The older woman asked.

"That's fine." Olivia said. She wondered why Jake's mother wanted to talk to her now.

"Great. Can you tell Lily we love her." Sarah said.

"Of course" Olivia said.

"Bye"

"Bye" Olivia said before hanging up. She turned off the TV and went into her bedroom and collapsed on her bed letting sleep take over her. Tomorrow she had to take her mother to the hospital for her surgery.

Olivia woke up early the next morning and quickly got Lily dressed for school.

"Lily, what do you want for breakfast?" She asked her little girl as Lily sat down on one of the stools.

"Fruit loops." Lily said happily and Liv nodded getting the cereal and bowl out the cabinet and the milk out of the refrigerator. She let Lily pour the cereal because she was a big girl and poured the milk and gave her a spoon. She just watched as Lily ate her breakfast.

"Do you want fruit loops too, mommy" Lily asked and Liv smiled.

"No, I'm not hungry sweetie." Olivia said. Lily ate a few more spoons full before looking back at her mother with a worried face.

"Mommy?"

"Yes, sweetheart?"Olivia said

"Are you sad? You look sad, mommy" Lily said

"No, I'm not sad baby." Liv said, she did not need her 6-year-old worrying about her.

"Otay." Lily said and finished her cereal.

After Liv took Lily to school, she had about three hours before she had to pick up her mother so she went to the hospital to check on some things.

"Liv, what are you doing here?" Callie asked in the parking lot holding Sofia.

"I wanted to get a head start on the day before I came in later with my mother." Olivia said as they entered the hospital.

"She can't be that bad." Callie said and Olivia rolled her eyes.

"We haven't had a civilized conversation since I found out I was pregnant." Liv stated.

"Oh, that's bad." Callie commented before she took Sofia to day care and they met back up in the attending's lounge. They changed into their dark blue scrubs and grabbed their lab coats before starting the day. Liv headed up to the pediatric floor and when she approached the nurse's station she saw a bouquet of flowers, white roses and lilies.

"Whose are these? she asked as she reached over and grabbed a chart for a ten-year old boy who had lung cancer. He was that patient that made her work harder than she already did. She had been working with him since he was 6 years old.

"Those are yours." A nurse said and she looked up from the chart. She reached into the flowers and read the card.

"One of my many ways of persuasion. F.G" Liv smiled with a small blush as she took the flowers to her office. After she left her office she headed straight to her lung cancer patient when she got a call from U.N.O.S. saying the had lungs for her patient.

"Mr. and Mrs Gracia, I have great...Where's Tyler" She asked looking at the empty hospital bed and when she looked up to see the parents faces. The red puffy eyes, dried tears on their cheeks and that's when it hit Olivia. Tyler died.

"Tyler...Tyler died this morning, Doctor Pope. The..the other doctor, doctor Robbins said his lungs had failed and there was nothing we could do." Mr. Gracia explained, his voice broken and weak, more tears running down his face as his wife hid her face in his shoulder.

"Oh...I..I will be right back." Olivia said hiding her anger as she left the room.

"Fitz!" He heard his name being called and he snapped out of his thoughts. He was in a meeting about a case. A boy accused of drugging and raping a classmate at a party.

"Yes." Fitz responded. He was trying his best to focus but she occupied his mind. Her smile, her laugh, how she walks was distracting him. He wanted to know every little detail about her, what made her so amazing, so breathtaking.

"Is there something else on your mind besides this case." One of the partners asked.

"No, sir." Fitz said.

Xx***xX

When the meeting let out, Fitz rushed out and bumped into Brent.

"Hey, dude What was that in there?" Brent asked. Fitz and Brent both went to Harvard for law school. They had been best friends since high school.

"Nothing." Fitz said.

"No, that wasn't nothing. You never zone out like that." Brent pushed on.

"It was a girl wasn't it, I should have known." Brent said with smirk.

"What are you talking about?" Fitz said as they started walking towards his office.

"Oh no, don't play dumb Fitz. You know exactly what I'm talking about. There's a lucky lady on your mind." Brent said as they entered his office.

"Well, there isn't so you can leave." Fitz said.

"Whatever you say Fitz but I know you." Brent said before he left the office.

"Doctor Robbins, can I speak to you?" Olivia said angrily as she approached Arizona in the hallway.

"Look, if this is about your patient..."

"Why wasn't I paged!" Olivia was close to yelling. She was so angry, Arizona had no right to take over her patient.

"Because he was dying, his lungs and his heart started to fail rapidly." Arizona explained but that didn't change anything.

"So you just gave up, on MY patient. You had no right to do that. He was my patient not yours. I worked with him for four years, saw him go through chemo and radiation. Saw his parents struggle with this since he was six. I got a call this morning from U.N.O.S telling me that he got lungs. That he was going get new lungs. MY patient Arizona. That was not your call to make!" Olivia said angrily before walking away.

When it was almost 12 she paged Derek.

"You paged." he said as he approached her on the bridge at the hospital entrance.

"I did, so what's the plan?" she asked

"Well when your bring your mother in we're just gonna just do an MRI and if everything looks good I'll do her first surgery later today." Derek said and Liv nodded

"Okay." Liv responded awkwardly.

"Okay." He said back and the stood there, neither one of them knowing what to say. Her and Derek an awkward start to their friendship.

**FLASHBACK**

"Wine? Isn't that a little old for a college student." Derek said as he sat bar next to her.

"So is scotch, Derek." she said, referring to the drink in his hand. Naomi, her cousin, introduced them at a party a couple of weeks before.

"Oh you think so." he flirted and she laughed.

"What are you doing here anyway, aren't you supposed to be with Mark at Addison's?" Liv questioned as she swished the wine around in the glass.

"Well, Addison cancelled that and Mark is Mark so why not hang out with you." He said with his winning McDreamy smile and a small blush rises on her cheeks. Three hours and lots of alcohol later they stumble into Derek's dorm laughing.

"Really, you would do that?" Olivia questioned, her voice slurring.

"Why not." Derek said and the just look at each other, gazes of lust and his lips crashed to hers. The next morning, he wakes up with his arm tightly wrapped around her and her head on his chest. He could admit, she was breathtakingly beautiful and smart.

"Staring can be consider rude." he heard and looked down to see her wide awake.

"Last night was amazing." Derek commented and she smiled before sitting up. She wrapped the thin sheet around her body to get out of the bed.

"Where are going?" Derek asked as he grabbed her arm softly.

"I don't want Mark to catch me here." She said trying to stand up but he pulled her back down kissing her cheek.

"He won't catch you here." Derek said.

"How do you know?" Olivia questioned.

"Because Mark is Mark and he is most likely has a hangover." Derek said as he began kissing her neck and she giggled.

"So stay." He said kissing lower and lower and she let out a moan.

"Fine, I'll stay." Olivia barely got out and Derek smiled.

**END OF FLASHBACK**

At noon, Liv drove to the Archfield hotel to pick up her mother so she could take her to the hospital. When she got there Evelyn was already waiting for her. The car ride there was silent as usual. When they got to the hospital Evelyn was admitted and Derek took her for the MRI. Olivia knew she probably shouldn't care, Evelyn stopped caring about her but her gut had this feeling, a feeling that something was about to go wrong. On her way to get the scans, she got a call.

"Hello?" Liv answered.

"Hi" she heard and a blush found its way to her cheeks.

"Hi" she responded.

"Did you get the flowers?" he asked.

"Yes I did and they were beautiful." she said.

'I know, they reminded me of you." Fitz said and she was speechless.

"Yes" she said

"Yes what?" Fitz asked.

"I'll go to dinner with you." she said with smile even though he couldn't see it.

"Really? I see my persuasion worked. How is Saturday at 7?" He said.

"That is perfect." Olivia replied

"I'll see you then." Fitz said.

"See you then." Liv says before hanging up. She felt as if she was on cloud nine forgetting all about the bad feeling in her gut. When she arrives to get the scans Derek is already there.

"Do you want to see them?" he asked her and she shook her head.

"Nope. Just tell me if its good or bad." Liv said, that bad feeling returning to her gut as he opened the envelope and looked at the scans.

"Liv...I...I'm so sorry." and her stomach dropped to the floor.

A/N 2)I didn't like this chapter that much but hopefully you guys like it. Liv and Derek had a fling a looong time ago. She finally said yes to Fitz! Yay. Leave a review and tell me what you think.
