Chapter Eight: Say You Love Me


"Say you love me to my face

I need it more than your embrace

Just say you want me, that's all it takes

Heart's getting torn from your mistakes

'Cause I don't wanna fall in love

If you don't wanna try,

But all that I've been thinking of

Is maybe that you might

Baby it looks as though we're running out of words to say

And love's floating away

Just say you love me, just for today

And don't give me time 'cause that's not the same

Want to feel burning flames when you say my name

Want to feel passion flow into my bones

Like blood through my veins"

Olivia and Fitz were sitting in the doctor's office waiting for her name to get called. As she looked around, she saw many women pregnant with husbands, and she felt jealous. They were pregnant and happily married while she was pregnant and in marriage counseling. She looked down feeling ashamed she was bringing a child into a broken home. She was becoming very nervous so she picked up a magazine off the table next to her and began to read it. Not even a few second later a woman came out calling her name.

"Olivia Grant."

The nurse was standing at the door, holding it open for Olivia and Fitz. She asked Olivia to stand on the scale as she wrote down her weight. Olivia then took a seat; the nurse checked her blood pressure, and temperature. Everything so far looked perfect. The nurse escorted Olivia and Fitz to the ultrasound room and opened the door for them. She told them that the ultrasound technician would be with them in a minute. Olivia patiently sat down on the table playing with her hands. Fitz could sense her nervousness and walked to her. He grabbed her hands and looked at her while she continued to look down.

"Look at me."

"Liv, look at me." She raised her eyes and looked at him. He placed his hand under her chin and smiled at her, reassuring her that everything was okay.

"It's okay. Everything is going to be okay."

As Fitz was speaking to Olivia, there was a knock on the door. They said 'come in' and the ultrasound technician walked in grinning.

"Hi, my name is Amber. I will be doing your ultrasound today." She shook both of their hands. "Since you haven't had an ultrasound and you don't know how far along you are I'm going to do a routine ultrasound. If I can not see the baby, then I'll do a vaginal ultrasound."

Amber took a seat in the spinning chair while Olivia lifted her shirt to expose her stomach. She still had her incision covered by gauze, and when she felt it lifting her shirt up she became very self-conscious once again. Fitz noticed her and grabbed her hand, he placed his mouth to her ear and whispered the same words her told her multiple times this past week.

"You are beautiful."

The ultrasound technician was nice enough to warm up the gel so it wasn't cold on Olivia's stomach. She placed the transducer probe on her stomach and the television screen on the wall turned on. You could see a baby. Olivia started crying; no words could express how she felt seeing her child that she made with love on the screen. Amber was able to find the heartbeat and played it. The room was filled with this thumping rhythm as it echoed. Olivia turned her head and looked at Fitz. His eyes were also filled with tears. They were both going through a tough time with the accident, the marriage counseling, and the multiple fights. However, this child was holding them together, giving them hope to fight for what they both desperately wanted.

Amber pointed out the baby's feet, and all the body parts. Their baby was sucking on their fingers, which Olivia thought was the cutest thing in the world. Amber then went to check how big the baby was so she could tell Olivia how far along she was. The baby measured at twelve weeks and four days. Olivia was thrilled to hear that, it meant that she was in her second trimester. Olivia was thankful she was out of the area of worrying about the possibility of a miscarriage; which was her worse fear. The ultrasound technician printed a bunch of photos of their child and then cleaned all of the gel off of Olivia's stomach.

"Dr. Vogel will be in here in just a minute to talk to you." Amber left the room, and it was now silent. They were still overwhelmed at seeing another child they created on the screen. Dr. Vogel knocked on the door and walked in. She smiled at them both.

"I'm very happy to see you two here, I heard congratulations are in order." She looked at the folder that Amber had written in. "It seems you are twelve weeks, so you are officially out of the first trimester. Make sure you are taking your prenatal vitamins and eating healthy for the baby. You've been through this before so you know the foods you should try to avoid. There isn't much more to tell you, do you two have any questions for me?" She said smiling.

"I'm twelve weeks pregnant, which means I was almost two weeks pregnant when I took all those test a couple of months ago. Why didn't it show up on the test?" Olivia asked.

"When you took the test you weren't pregnant, I know that doesn't make sense. However, immediately after the sperm fertilizes the egg it is considered to be two weeks old. So, technically when you took the test you were not pregnant, that's why it didn't show up. If you would have taken the test a week, even a couple days later we would have found out that you were pregnant." Dr. Vogel responded back.

"What are the chances of Olivia having another seizure after giving birth like she did last time?" Fitz wanted to ask a more serious question.

"Olivia was diagnosed in her last pregnancy with preeclampsia. We were able to catch it early, but she went into really bad distress during labor and it turned into eclampsia. Although Olivia has suffered from it, it doesn't change her chances. They are still the same chances as anyone else who is pregnant. We will monitor her more carefully because she once has had it. However, there is no way we can say right now that she will or won't have another seizure during pregnancy or during labor."

"Thank you," Fitz answered.

Olivia and Fitz left the doctor's office and drove home. Olivia was exhausted, just walking in the doctor's office was exhausting for her and she need some rest. Fitz drove her all the way home and parked the car. He picked her up, walked her into the house placing her on the bed. She fell asleep within minutes.


It was now later in the day, the kids just got home from school and daycare. Since Olivia found out she was in her second trimester, she wanted to tell the kids that she was pregnant. Isabelle wouldn't really understand what she was saying, but Gerry would. Olivia was lying on the couch, and Gerry was sitting next to her. Isabelle was snuggled into her daddy's body beginning to fall asleep. Fitz nodded his head letting Olivia know to start. Olivia breathed, and then looked Gerry in the eyes.

"Hey, little man. Daddy and I have to tell you something." Olivia said. Gerry instantly got worried that Daddy was going to be leaving.

"What?" Gerry had this pout of his face, which he defiantly got from Olivia. Fitz wanted to laugh at how much Gerry looked like Olivia at that moment. He was a spitting image of Fitz except his lips, and whenever he pouted, he looked just like Olivia.

"Mommy is having a baby," Olivia said watching his face for his reaction. When they told him she was pregnant with Isabelle, he didn't quite understand. However, now that he was old enough to understand, she wanted to see his genuine reaction.

"How?" Oh no. Olivia didn't expect this question. He was only four; she couldn't explain to him how the baby came about. Fitz noticed Olivia shocked and stepped in to answer his question.

"Well, when mommies and daddies love each other SO SO much, God gives them a baby," Fitz said, not lying to Gerry, but not telling him the truth either.

"So mommy you love daddy again?" Olivia wasn't expecting this question either, but unlike the last question Fitz couldn't help her. She took a deep breath and looked at Gerry.

"Mommy never stopped loving daddy," Olivia said looking into his eyes so he knew she wasn't lying. He sat there trying to take it all in, and then his face changed; he was now smiling.

"So is the new baby a boy or girl?" He said putting his hand on Olivia's stomach.

"We don't know yet. We have to wait a couple more weeks until we can find out. What do you want it to be?"

"Ummm." Gerry was tapping his finger on his chin thinking. "I don't know. What do you want mommy?" Gerry now asked.

"Well, I have a little boy" Olivia tickled Gerry. "And I have a little girl, so I don't know. I will love it whether it was a girl or a boy." Olivia responded being honest.

"What about you daddy? What do you want the baby to be?" Gerry said now looking at Fitz.

"I just wanted a healthy baby and a healthy mommy." Which truthfully was all Fitz wanted. They talked more about the baby and answered all of Gerry's questions before moving on to a different topic.


Date: Tuesday April 7, 2015

Gerry was upstairs getting ready for school, his daddy was

It was morning and Olivia was downstairs making their lunch kits. She was thrilled that she was able to go back to their morning schedule; she missed this. She was spreading the peanut butter and jelly on the bread making their sandwiches. She began to cut the crust off of the bread when she heard Gerry scream. She couldn't walk herself upstairs so she screamed back.

"Is everything thing okay?" Olivia called out to him.

"I stubbed my toe, the one who ate roast beef." Olivia couldn't stop the laugh that escaped her mouth. The things Gerry sometimes said Olivia wondered what he was thinking.

The kids along with Fitz came downstairs. Olivia kissed both Belle and Gerry's head, handing them their lunch kits. Olivia said goodbye to everyone, as Fitz left the house taking them to school.


Dr. Dawson walked into their home; she was still doing the marriage counseling at their home to make Olivia more comfortable. She went and took her seat again in the same place she was at five days ago. As she sat down she got comfy in the seat and took her notebook out. Olivia and Fitz for the first time were sitting near each other and holding hands.

"How are you two doing? I can see a lot better than the last time." Dr. Dawson said.

"Better, I'm slowly opening myself back up to him," Olivia said.

"How about you Fitz? How are you doing?"

"Good, like Olivia said we are slowly coming back together. Things are great." Fitz said smiling and squeezing her hand slightly.

"How is the communication going? Are two talking about your feelings and emotions?" Dr. Dawson asked now wanting to know how they are doing with their homework.

"I think I'm communicating more than Olivia, but she is opening up a little bit. I do however wish she was more open with me." Fitz answered being honest.

"Olivia, do you think are communicating as much as you should?"

"No," Olivia answered.

"Why aren't you communicating?" Dr. Dawson wanted to dig deeper and find the bigger problem.

"Communicating with him, is being vulnerable with him and doing that is giving him the opportunity to hurt me again. I just don't want to get hurt again." Olivia said trying to be honest.

"Fitz, how does what Olivia said make you feel?"

"I'm sad that she thinks that way. I understand why, but that doesn't change how that hurts me. I don't want to hurt her at least not on purpose."

"Olivia, what is it going to take for you to open yourself up to Fitz," Dr. Dawson asked after writing something in her notebook.

"I don't know. I just have the walls up anytime I'm around him now; I don't know how to take them down."

"Olivia I want you to try your hardest to be honest with him even when you don't want to be. I'm also going to give you two a list of questions. I want you two to ask them to each other to help with your communication."

"Okay," Olivia said.

"One more thing, I want you two to go on a date. I know Olivia that you don't feel well enough to leave the house. That's fine, I want you two to find someone to watch your children, and you two just hang out. Eat dinner and watch a movie together, do something as a couple. You two have forgotten that you are husband and wife; you need alone time. You need time to enjoy each other company without the kids, so you two can focus on each other. This will also help with the communication because there won't be a distraction. You will have to sit face to face, and either sit in silence or speak to one another. Okay?"

"Okay." They both agreed.

"Okay, I will see you both in two weeks."

Fitz then walked her out of the house. To say he was excited was an understatement. He needed some time with Olivia, without worrying about the kids, and without worrying about her nightmares. He needed time to just spend with his wife like they did before they filed for divorce.


It was now ten o'clock at night, Fitz and her had just put the kids to sleep like they used to. The memory warmed her heart. She laid her head on her pillow and stretched her body out. It was met with cold sheets, and she was sad. She wanted him next to her, to feel safe and happy. At the same time, she didn't want to lean on him; she didn't want him to know she needed him. She was stuck with her emotions until she heard Dr. Dawson's voice in her head. 'Olivia I want you to try your hardest to be honest with him even when you don't want to be.'

Olivia got her phone from the nightstand next to her and dialed the familiar number.


Fitz was staring at the ceiling in the other room. The air mattress was as comfortable as an air mattress can be, but truth be told nothing will feel the same as his own bed. He was lying on the bed with just boxers. He used to sleep with pajama pants and a shirt, but Olivia liked to feel his skin next to her body. Ever since the night Olivia told him that, he never wore clothing to make her feel more comfortable. Even when they filed for divorce it, he tried to go back to wearing clothes but it just didn't feel right. He was lost in thought until his cell phone started ringing. He picked up the phone answering it without looking at who was calling.

"Hi," Olivia's voice spoke into his ear.

"Hi," Fitz said back.

"Can you come here," Olivia said shyly.

Fitz hung up the phone walking to her room as fast as he could get there. When he arrived at the door, he turned the knob and walked in. He saw her sitting up in bed, he didn't know if she needed medicine or what but he was willing to help her with whatever. He came to her sitting on the bed, looking at her waiting for her to talk.

"I'm trying to communicate with you more and… And I want you to stay in here, in our bedroom. I want you to hold me, and make me feel safe. I need you. I need you, Fitz."

He walked to the other side of the bed and got under the sheets. Olivia turned the light off slowly getting under the covers too. Fitz pulled her flush against him, he was careful of his hand placement on her body to avoid putting her in any pain. He kissed her cheek telling her 'I love you' before both him and Olivia succumbed to sleep.


Date: Wednesday April 8, 2015

It was the evening and Fitz was on his way to Isabelle's dance class. She had missed last week, and Olivia didn't want her missing any more days. Fitz volunteered to take her so that they wouldn't have to bother Maya. Fitz was now sitting in the car listening to Disney music as Belle was giggling and moving her arms around. He looked back at her and just smiled.

They arrived at her dance class 'Shooting Star Dance Studio'. Isabelle was in a mommy & me class for beginner dancers. Ms. Britney was her teacher; Fitz walked in and was thankful he wasn't the only male in the dance studio. Ms. Britney was in the front of the studio and sat down. She told the class they were going to stretch. She spread her legs open and began to reach for her feet. All the little kids attempted to copy her including Belle. She then reached forward in the middle between her legs, and once again the children attempted to copy her.

Once the kids were stretched out, she turned on a song and began to do the familiar dance routine that they practiced ever time they came to dance class. The music started playing and Belle watched Ms. Britney and started copying her. Isabelle eventually got tired of doing the dance that her teacher was doing and was now running around the studio doing what Isabelle wanted to do. Fitz thought it was the cutest thing, Belle running around in her purple tutu. He was taking photos of Isabelle, occasionally sending a couple to Olivia.

There now was only five minutes left of dance class, which was free time. Ms. Britney put on some music and handed everyone princess wands. Isabelle grabbed the wand waving it around. She was screeching so loud, shaking her butt and pushing her lips together, all while waving the princess wand.


Olivia was at home with Gerry while Fitz was at dance class. Gerry was in preschool, but he still had homework. Olivia and Gerry were currently working on his writing. He was having a tough time because 'Fitzgerald Grant IV' was a long name. Gerry was getting very frustrated and was beginning to pout.

"Mommy this is too hard," Gerry said putting his pencil down, he wanted to just be done.

"I know baby, but we still need to do it. You want to know why?" Gerry shook his head up and down. "Because one day you are going to be a big boy like daddy. You're going to have a job and guess what?"

"What?" Gerry said.

"In order to have a job you need to spell your name and be smart. So if you want to be like daddy, you have to do your homework." That was all the motivation Gerry needed. He wanted to be just like his daddy. He picked up his pencil beginning to write his name once again.

As Gerry was just finishing his homework, Fitz and Isabelle were arriving home from her dance class. She knew they were here when she heard Isabelle. She was screaming 'Bubba, Bubba.' Fitz placed her down and she ran to Gerry. They walked upstairs as a family and went to Isabelle's room. Olivia gave her a bath, and then rubbed her whole body with lotion. She put her on her pajamas and then turned on her music. Isabelle laid in bed and grabbed her stuff animal slowly drifting off to sleep. Olivia had become tired from the day, so she went into the bedroom. Fitz went to put Gerry to bed. A bath, bedtime story, and a bunch of kisses later Gerry was sleeping too.


Olivia was in bed reading while she was waiting for Fitz. When he walked into the room, he smiled at her. He walked into the bathroom and was in there awhile as he brushed his teeth, washed his face, and took a shower. Olivia heard the shower turn off and then she didn't expect what happened next. He walked out of the bathroom with a towel hanging low on his body. As she stared from a distance, she began to lick her lips. Why was he doing this to her? If she hadn't had surgery, she would have jumps his bones right there, marriage counseling be damn. He reached into his drawer grabbing a pair of boxer briefs. He dropped the towel and Olivia had to close her mouth as a moan almost escaped her lips. An ache in between her legs was now forming. Damn. Why did he have to look so fine? Fitz knew she was checking him out and now had a smirk on his face. He walked to the bed and got under the covers. Olivia put the book down turning the light off and snuggling up next to him.


Date: Thursday April 9, 2015

Amelia and Rebecca were sweet enough to bring dinner to Fitz, Olivia, and the kids. They made baked chicken over rice, with roasted broccoli and carrots as the sides. She also brought dessert for them, banana pudding. Amelia wanted to make something healthy especially since Olivia was pregnant. Fitz thanked his mom for dropping it off as he said goodbye to her. He placed all the food on four plates as he called everyone into the kitchen.

"Dinner is ready." Everyone was in the playroom downstairs and came to the kitchen when they heard Fitz call. When Olivia came downstairs, her nostrils were filled with an appealing aroma. She smiled as she and Gerry sat down, Fitz placed Isabelle in her highchair and put the food on her tray. Olivia, Fitz, Gerry, and Belle all joined hands as they said their prayer thanking God for their food. Gerry was watching Olivia eat and set down his utensils. He placed his hand on Olivia's stomach and looked up at her.

"Is the baby hungry? Are we going to feed the baby too?" Gerry asked.

"The baby is hungry, and when mommy eats all her food, the baby gets fed," Olivia said while Gerry's hand was still on her stomach.

"Can I feed the baby?" Gerry asked now thinking anyone could feed it.

"Right now, only mommy can feed the baby, but when the baby is born, you can feed it." Olivia responded still smiling at how interested he was in the baby.

"When is the baby going to be here mommy?" Gerry said now wanting to know how long it would be before he could feed the baby.

"The baby will be here around October. So in like six months."

"That's a long time mommy." He said now pouting about how long it was going to take for his brother or sister to get here.

"I know, but we want the baby to be healthy so we have to wait until the baby is big enough before he or she can be here with us. Okay?"

"Okay, mommy." Gerry took his hand off of Olivia's stomach and picked up his utensils once again.


Everyone ate the banana pudding, which was delicious. Gerry took Belle back into the playroom with him, while they went back to playing with the blocks. Fitz began to wash the dishes. When he was almost done, he brought up the conversation of the date.

"I've been thinking about the date. I was thinking about doing it on Saturday. I will handle everything, from what we will eat, to who will watch the children. You will just need to show up beautiful. Is that okay with you?" Fitz wanted to ask her, he didn't want to take away her option of helping if that's what she wanted to do.

"If you want to handle the date that okay with me. Less stress for me, which would be wonderful." Olivia said. Fitz finished washing the dishes. He walked to her wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her in closer.

"Thank you." He whispered in her hair as he lightly kissed her head. He still hadn't kissed her on her lips except in the middle of the night when she had a panic attack. Which in reality he wouldn't call a kiss because she wasn't fully awake to participate. He grabbed her hand as the walked hand in hand out of the kitchen.


Friday April 10, 2015

It had been exactly two weeks since Olivia's car accident and she was now on her way to the hospital for her two-week check-up. When they finally arrived at the hospital, Fitz helped her out of the car. She was able to walk, but walking long distances still was a bit difficult for her. As he helped her walk into the doctors office, he locked his car. Once Olivia sat down in the waiting room chair, she quickly began to pray that everything was okay. She wanted to heal and be done with this. She wanted to be able to walk normally, and to go back to her normal life. The nurse came out and called her name. They walked in the back and the nurse check her out before putting her into a room. About five minutes later Dr. Price walked in the room.

"I'm sorry I'm a little bit late, a surgery ran later than I planned. How are we feeling?" She asked looking at Olivia.

"Good, still very tired. I also get very exhausted from doing little exercise but other than everything is okay."

"Okay, let's check out the incision and check the stitches and make sure they are healing properly," Dr. Price said as Olivia started removing her shirt. She could see the stitches were healing correctly. Olivia's recovery was amazing; in just a couple of weeks she should be able to go back to her normal life.

"Everything is healing correctly. You don't have to take sponge baths anymore, but do not submerge the incision under water for another couple of weeks, so take showers. Also just use regular soap to wash the incision. Try not to use any perfume smelling body wash, we don't want it to get infected. As for everything else, it's the same. Try not to lift anything, no sexual activity, and try to rest as much as possible." Dr. Price said.

"Thank you," Olivia said as she put her shirt back on her body.

"I will see you back her on May 18, where hopefully I can tell you to return to doing things in your normal life again," Dr. Price said. She told them bye and walked out of the room. Olivia gathered her things, signed out, and then they went home.


It was now nine o'clock at night, which was past both of their bedtimes. Olivia decided since they would be spending tomorrow with Amelia and Big Gerry that they would have family movie night, something that they hadn't done in forever. They searched for movies when they saw 'Tarzan'; Gerry loved the movie and swore that Tarzan sounded just like Daddy. Fitz popped some popcorn and brought everyone some grape juice. Gerry was on the floor propped up on his elbows watching the TV while Isabelle was snuggled up to her brother. Fitz and Olivia were lying on the couch snuggling up to each other as well.

Fitz pushed play and a blue screen appeared as a white castle was now forming, letting them know it was a Walt Disney film. The screen was now a loud thunderstorm with trees shaking, as the thunder rumbled. There was a boat that was on fire and now sinking as the family tried to get in the safety boat. The cute little family filled the screen along with the monkeys, which made Isabelle laugh. The beginning always made Gerry sad because Tarzan was losing his family. However, at the same time wished that was him and he was getting raised my monkeys and could swing from trees.

During the Tarzan baby scenes, Olivia looked up at Fitz. She thought of the baby in her stomach and unconsciously began to rub her stomach. Fitz's hand was near hers so he knew what she was doing. He brought his closer to hers, placing it on top of hers. She looked up at him and smiled knowing that he was thinking the same thing.

A little over an hour later the movie was over and playing the credits and everyone was asleep. Olivia was in Fitz's arms so he walked her upstairs first placing he in the bed. He wrapped the sheets around her body to keep her warm until he put all the kids in their beds. He went back downstairs picking up Isabelle, she was sleeping on Gerry. Fitz changed her diaper while she was sleeping, and then placed her in her crib. Once Isabelle was snoring peacefully, he went downstairs picking up Gerry. He placed him in his bed tucking him in. He slowly walked out of his room, closing the door trying not to make any noise. Once he put all of them to bed, he walked back to his room, getting under the covers and going to sleep.


Date: Saturday April 11, 2015

Fitz had dropped the kids off at his parents earlier so he could get ready for his date with Olivia. He asked Olivia to stay in the room and get ready while he set up their dinner date. He was currently downstairs in the kitchen cooking dinner. He was making spaghetti and garlic bread, which was one of the very few meals he knew how to cook that Olivia loved. While he was downstairs preparing dinner, Olivia was upstairs getting ready.

Olivia was in the shower washing her body and her hair, something she missed. As much as she loved Fitz bathing her, she also loved having some quiet time in the shower. After she had cleaned herself up, she turned off the shower water and walked out. She put on some mascara and some chapstick, not really wanted to put much make-up on. With the incision, she still couldn't wear tight clothing so she just settled for yoga pants and Fitz's navy shirt, which Fitz loved. It was now eight o'clock, which was the time Fitz, told her to come downstairs.

She walked out of the bedroom door and into a dark hallway, as she reached the staircase and looked down she saw a flickering light. As she started to descend down the stairs she walked towards the dining room, it was filled with red roses and petals, with over a hundred candles lit. Her mouth dropped at how beautiful the room looked and how much effort Fitz put in. It was breathtaking. Fitz walked behind her wrapping his arms around her stomach and kissing her neck, which caused Olivia to close her eyes trying to enjoy the feeling.

"Its absolutely beautiful Fitz, you did such a good job," Olivia said still looking at the room.

"Not as beautiful as you." He said kissing her neck again.

Fitz unwrapped his arms and walked to a chair pulling it out for her. He then brought her plate to her, and she was in awe at all of the detail he went into for this date. From her favorite flower to a meal she loved, which she loved even more because he made it instead of buying take-out. He grabbed her hand and said a prayer blessing the food. As Olivia took a bite she moaned, it tasted phenomenal, like something she would buy at a restaurant.

"This taste delicious Fitz, thank you," Olivia said smiling at him. Next to Fitz was the list of question that Dr. Dawson gave them to ask each other.

"What do I do that makes you feel loved?" Fitz asked Olivia the first question.

"I love it when you go out of your way to put a smile on my face, like right now. You could have just ordered take out and we could have had a normal dinner, but no. You went above and beyond. You went out and bought roses and stayed in the kitchen and cooked me this lovely meal. That's what you do that makes me feel loved." Olivia answered as he was slowly breaking down all of her walls.

"What do you think we need to work on the most in our relationship?" Olivia asked Fitz the second question on the list.

"I think we need to work on our communication and trust. We need to get back to the point in our relationship where we could tell each other anything. I miss that; I miss being able to tell you the little things. We also need to work on trusting each other. I know I broke that, and I need to earn that back. Please believe me when I say I'm trying. I promise I'm trying." Olivia smiled at his answer because she agreed completely with him.

"What can I do to make you feel more confident in our future's direction?" Fitz asked the next question as he continued to eat.

"I think you being honest with me, and me seeing you put an effort into our marriage. That makes me confident that we will be happy and still married in a couple of months. Also, just so you know, tonight you are doing such an excellent job at that." Olivia said smirking at him. She swirled the spaghetti around the fork bringing it to her lips.

"What's your favorite non-sex activity that we do together?" Olivia asked.

"I would say kissing, I love kissing you. Unless you consider that a sex activity, and then I would say cuddling." Fitz said.

"Is that so?" Olivia said playfully flirting with him.

"Yes." He said playing in her game flirting back.

"What is your favorite sexual memory of us?" Fitz asked smirking at the question.

"That is not on the list," Olivia said looking at him while laughing.

"It is," Fitz said holding up the paper. "Look."

"Oh my god. Okay. I would say it was the day we found out that we were pregnant with Gerry. The sex was incredible, but emotionally I'd never felt that connected to you before. All of it together was just amazing." Olivia said shaking her head at the smirk on his face.

"So you're saying we had bad sex all before that, and all after that day, the sex was just okay," Fitz said now trying to mess with her.

"I'm not talking to you about this if I didn't like the sex. Trust me, you would know." Olivia said smirking back at him.

"What's my best physical feature?" Olivia asked.

"That easy, your ass. I love it, touching it, rubbing it, squeezing it. I love your ass, but I think you already knew that." He said reaching over towards her ass pinching it. She jumped and then swatted his hand away.

They finished their dinner laughing and flirting as they answered each other's questions. When they were done, Fitz picked up her plate. He walked into the kitchen washing the two plates that held the spaghetti. When he finished washing the plate, he dried them and placed the back into the cabinets. As he turned around, Olivia was standing in the doorway looking at him. He walked towards her as she spoke.

"Thank you for dinner. I really appreciated it." Fitz was now in front of her.

"I just want you to be happy," Fitz said as genuine as possible.

As he gazed into her eyes, the magnetic pull pushed them closer together. Her breathing got heavy as his hands gravitated to her hips. Olivia inhaled sharply as he did too. He wasn't going to kiss her, if she wanted to kiss him, she would have to initiate it. Her body began to tremble from him being this close to her. She placed her hands around his neck slightly pulling his face toward her. Her lips were parted and the next thing Fitz knew, Olivia slammed her lips against his. It nearly knocked all of the wind out of his lungs, after a short second her tongue was pressing the seam of his lips. He opened his mouth giving her access to dance with his tongue. What started off a very slow delicate kiss now was a very deep, passionate kiss with desire and need. Olivia's fingers started to play in his hair, as she was moaning in his mouth. His member was growing with every sound, moan, and whimper that escaped her plump lips. Every single time her tongue pushed against his, he was slowly coming undone. Olivia pulled away first and placed her forehead on his chin. Her hand was placed on his broad chest, as she breathed out a deep breath. This feeling that washed over their bodies is what they both desperately missed.

"I am happy."

We also got to see a little bit of the baby in Olivia's stomach on the ultrasound. Also Fitz and Olivia went on a date.. What what! And then they kissed finally. I honestly cannot wait to read your reviews to this chapter. So, what do you guys think? What do you want the baby to be? Girl or Boy? How do you feel about their relationship? Is it moving too fast, or are they going at a good speed? All reviews are welcomed. Until next time which will be on Tuesday. XOXO. :)
