Some of the keys on my Keyboard are not working, and this make typing very difficult which is driving me crazy. I can't get it repaired right now due to reasons. So, bear with me.

Clarification on this chapter;

Mr. Walters = Olivia's client

Dr. Walker = Olivia's doctor

(I know the names sounds similar)

While Olivia and Fitz were asleep, Olivia's regular nightmare after her kidnapped started, but this time, associated with high fever. She was toasting and turning, shivering and sweating heavily. Fitz has never seen her like this before. It was nerve racking for him seeing her helpless without the tough Olivia Pope's Persona. He got a little scared and called the doctor immediately.

"Livve, honey gets up. You're having a nightmare. How can one be sweating heavily and shivering from cold at the same time" Fitz said, not as a question per say, shaking her in the process for her to regain consciousness.

She got up and saw how sweaty she was and the look of fear on Fitz's face. "I'm OK. I promise to call the Dr. Walker first thing in the morning"

"You don't have to, I already did" Fitz said.

"Why did you do that?" Olivia asked drowsily.

"Why shouldn't I? Look at yourself. You are soaking wet. Lift up your hands" Fitz ordered and she complied. He changed her nightwear and the bed sheet, and then asked her. "Were you having a nightmare?"

Feeling cold, wanting some heat from his body, she snuggled into his arms, for him to hold her tightly. "Yeah, I thought that was over," she answered, trying to go back to sleep.

"Was Over?" Fitz asked, wrapping his arms tighter around her.

"Yes, after the kidnapped I had it every day. There wasn't a night that went by without it. And that was the reason I started sleeping with Rus…" She realized the territory she was about to enter "never mind. But I haven't had it for three months now. I thought it was over."

"You never made mention of it" Fitz said, robbing his hands through her body to generate some heat.

"I thought it was over, so it wasn't important." She carried her head up to look at Fitz's face, "wait, did you say you called Dr. Walker?" She asked him, to be sure she heard him correctly before.

"Yes, I did."

She was startled all of a sudden. "Then you don't have to be here," Olivia said, entangling her body away from his, but nevertheless trying to give him an explanation, "you know, for rumors not to spread," she added.

"Walker and I have been friends since your last hospital visit, when you were attacked by God knows who outside your apartment when Jake was suppose to be watching you. Dr. Walker knows about us, Livve. He was also the one who examined Karen after her Eiffel tower incident." Fitz said, waiting for another reason she'd try to come up with.

There was a knock on door, before Olivia could come up with anymore reason why Fitz shouldn't be there. He got up not wanting to hear it, heading for the door. "That must be Dr. Walker." He said.

Fitz opened the door and welcome Dr. Walker "Hey, Walker, thank you for coming in such short notice"

"Fitz, you are Mr. President. When you command we comply. I love being of help anyway I can." Dr. Walker said, before he went off the rail. "It doesn't matter whether I was making love to my wife and she was just about to…" he came back to his senses. "Sorry about that, I get carry away sometimes. Where is Olivia?" Dr. Walker asked.

Fitz ushered Dr. Walker into Olivia's room. When Olivia saw them entering, she was struggling to sit upright. Fitz went quickly to her side to help her up. Dr. Walker looked at how adorable they were and smiled, this made Olivia blushed. He started arranging his tools to start with his examination.

"Please can I get a glass of water?" Olivia asked Fitz.

As Fitz left for the water, Olivia informed Dr. Walker quickly about her condition. "I'm certain I'm pregnant, but I don't want him to know, because I don't want to keep it. Please, don't let him know about this."

"Doctor patient confidentiality, Miss Pope" Dr. Walker replied.

She gave him a faint smile. "Thank you."

Fitz walked back into the room with a glass of water. "Here is your water" he looked at Dr. Walker then at Olivia. And he was certain they had a talk or two when he stepped out for the water.

After that revelation from Olivia, Dr. Walker was uncomfortable throughout the whole examination process. "Miss Pope, no cause for alarm, I think you're just having a flu or mononucleosis, but I'll get back to you after I run some more tests with your blood sample." He gave Olivia some drugs, saying she'd feel better after taking them. Fitz walked him to the door and told him he'd get in touch with him.

"Goodnight Mr. President"

"Walker, I asked you to take the President out of my name a long time ago, and you were doing fine until now, what's wrong with Olivia?

"Nothing Mr. Presi… em Fitz. Like I said, she's having a flu that's all. I have her blood sample, I'll need to carry out some more test to be sure"

Fitz smiled at him deciding not to push the issue. "Thank you for coming Walker. I'd get in touch with you soon."

Early in the morning, Olivia was feeling much better. When she got up, she saw Fitz well dressed, lying beside her with his head rested on his arm, watching her sleep. "What's the matter?" She asked

"You look beautiful sleeping; I can watch you sleep all day." He smiled at her.

"Don't be a creep" she pushed him playfully then added "I'm feeling a lot better now. What's the time? I have to go to work. Mr. Walters C my client is having a girlfriend issue. He would want a solution to his problem by the end of the day"

"Walters Clerk? the Assistant Secretary of Defense?" Fitz asked

"Yep, can you believe it?" Olivia answered.

The state Fitz saw Olivia hours ago was still very vivid in his mind, he begged her, "Livve, can you stay in today? Don't go to work today. Can you work indoors just for today? For me, please"

"Fitz, I'm much better this morning. The drugs Dr. Walker gave me is working, I'm fine. You worry too much" She then saw the expression on his face, like he never wins with her, and decided to accept his proposal "OK, for you, I'm going to work indoors today, happy?"

"If anything is wrong with you, you gonna tell me, right?" Fitz pleaded with his eyes, waiting for her to come clean with him.

Olivia was caught off guard. She got captured by his gaze and was fighting back tears, thinking about what she was about to do to his baby. She opened her mouth to tell him she was pregnant, but a few seconds later changed her mind "Fitz, where is all this coming from? I said I'm fine now and if anything is wrong with me Dr. Walker is going to let us know." She said and looked away from him.

Fitz stared at the floor for some seconds contemplating whether he should let her know he was aware she was with child, but decided to let her be the one to tell him. He shook his head, "I have to be in the white house before the press corps gets there" He took his coat heading for the door.

"Hey" Olivia called back, "won't I get a goodbye kiss?" she asked. Fitz smiled then walked back and gave her a light kiss on her lips.

"I love you," Olivia said, feeling terrible inside.

"I love you more, but I'm sure you already know that. I hope one day you'll get to love me as much as I love you" Fitz said and left.

A knocked on the Oval office and Fitz asked Abby to come in. "Mr. President, I'm going for a press briefing. I'd like to know the response to give reporters, about Mellie wanting to work things out in your marriage"

"Abby have a seat"

"Mr. President?"

"Abby, I said have a seat"

Abby sat down nervously like she has stolen something, and was about to be punished. Fitz has told her several times he doesn't bit, but that has been falling on deaf ears. "Have you spoken to Olivia today?"

"No, Mr. President."

"Please when you do let me know how she's doing. I was with her yesterday and early this morning, she wasn't feeling well, and I know if I call her to asked how she's doing, she'll say she's OK but she might not be."

Abby and Fitz hardly talked about Olivia. And this information of him spending the night with her yesterday made the whole conversation very awkward for Abby "Sir, I…. I" Abby stuttered.

Fitz saw how uncomfortable she looked. "Never mind. What were you saying about Mellie?" he changed the topic.

"She has been telling some sources, reporters say, how she's willing to work things out with you. Saying you guys could see a couple's therapist if you're willing, and you guys would come out of this stronger than ever before."

Fitz let out a sigh of frustration "Oh, this woman, I'm running out of ways to fight her? I need this divorce sign right now. If only Olivia…." Fitz paused and thought for a while "Abby, let's say you still work at OPA, what advice will you guys give a client in a situation like this?"

"Sir, you can just ask Olivia."

"Abby, don't patronized me, you know dame well Olivia want to stay away from this, and I don't want her involve in this too. Everything about this divorce should be my making not hers. She can't help me divorce my wife, it'll just be wrong on so many levels. I'm not asking Olivia, I'm asking you what advice you'd give a client from your crisis management expertise."

Abby breathe out and gave Fitz an Olivia Pope's monologue, "Sir, tell Mellie you've had it with her. Tell her she should go ahead and destroy Olivia, but assure her that, 1; it'll be mutual destruction, after she gets through with Olivia, Olivia will get started with her, while we're on this subject, let her ask Elizabeth North the length Olivia's people are willing to go for her. 2; let her know this is your last term. She should go and revise her history books about Presidents in their last term, what they can get away with. Make sure she knows there's nothing you're afraid of or the length you can go to make sure her political career became nothing but a fantasy. 3; tell her, by the time you finished with her, people will remember her as the lady who was so desperate being first lady that approves of her husband affair, just so she can stay First Lady. 4; tell her it will be mutual destruction for all, but the impact will be more destructive for her than you and Olivia. And a bonus 5; tell her you and Olivia would be just fine after a few big news cycles come along" Abby rushed through her words.

"Wow, that's so Olivia Pope." Fitz smiled.

"Well, I learn from the best."

"Thank you Abby."

Olivia invited Mr. Walters' girlfriend, Gina to her house since she couldn't go to work. Gina came along with another lady and a little blond girl who was about two years of age "Gina, I asked you to come alone."

"Oh, don't worry, this is my sister and her little girl. "So, what is your verdict for our situation? Do I get all the properties I asked for or should I go see Anderson Cooper?"

"You're not getting the properties and you're not seeing Anderson Cooper. You know why? because you have no proof. You knew he was married before you started the Affair; he made an agreement with you, for you to be his sex buddy in order to cover your criminal past. Which by the way he can still send you to jail if he wants."

"He told me he destroyed those records, that I'm free."

"Well, he lied. People lie; you can't be that naive to think he's an honest man." Olivia threw the demeaning remarks at Gina.

Gina started crying, and the little girl who came with them started crying too "mommy, why are you crying" She turned to Olivia and said "I hate you, you made my mommy cry."

"Is this your daughter? Is he the father?"

"How much is he paying you?" Gina asked through tears.

"What?" Olivia asked.

"I'm asking you, how much, is he paying you?"

Olivia wanted the details on this new revelation. "I'd like to know about this situation. You've been with him all these years. How come you have a baby he's not aware of? How old is she?"

"She's 18 months. And he's aware of her, well, just recently but doesn't acknowledges her."

"According to what he told me, you've been with him through his entire business trip. How come he didn't notice you where pregnant?" Olivia asked, she hated it when her clients lie to her. All this information was brand new to her.

"Is a long story, I didn't carry the baby, she did" Gina pointed at her sister. "I was two months pregnant when he asked me to get an abortion, but I refused. He then told me if I don't he'll bring up my past record which could send me to jail for almost 30 years and above. My sister introduced me to this scientist who was experimenting on fetus transplant technology that can transfer a fetus from one woman's womb to another's.

"There's no such thing as fetus transplant" Olivia said.

"That was the first thing I said when I heard it too. But it's true, not legal by the way. We were asked to sign documents that won't allow us to sue in case of any complications. I later on told Walters I aborted the pregnancy which let him to destroy the documents with my criminal past in front of me, which I now see he lied about it. Long story short, I have just eight months to live due to the procedure used during the fetus transplant. The procedure is very dangerous but I decided to do it anyways, knowing the ramifications. I know I'm paying for all the bad choices I've made in life…."

"Is he aware you're dying?" Olivia asked.

"No, he isn't. But I told him what I did, and that Claudia is his child but he says he wants nothing to do with her and that I'm lying about such a procedure, but yet he's refusing to do a DNA test. When I die, I need to leave them with something that can take care of them. But he says he won't give me a dime and whether I like it or not I must still be his sex toy."

"I'm sorry for not having all the information before saying all those things to you. I promise to work with you. You and your baby are going to get what is rightfully yours."

Olivia's phone started ringing, when she picked it, it was Dr. Walker. Olivia listened as he talked "Yes Olivia, you are definitely pregnant. You're seven weeks to be precise. Like you said if you want to get rid of it, you should do it fast, the faster the better for you. Do you want to schedule an appointment? I have a free slot in a week's time." Olivia heard him clearly but couldn't verbalize what she wanted to say. She was certain being pregnant but the confirmation from Dr. Walker broke her. She was thinking of what to say when Claudia the little girl walked up to her saying she was thirsty. The little girl raised both hands for Olivia to scoop her up for the water. She then answered Dr. Walker "Please I'd get back to you" she scooped Claudia up, heading to her kitchen for the water. After Claudia was satisfied, she told Olivia "you are pretty" and gave her a peck on her cheek, this is the girl who said she hated her not long ago. Olivia couldn't take it. She gave Claudia to her mother and said they should leave now, she'd get in touch with them. As she said bye to them and closed the door, the tears came falling down. "What am I going to do? I can't have this baby. That's a woman who kept her baby despite being with a man who wanted nothing to do with it. And I'm here with a man who will kill to have a baby with me but I want to get rid of it? What am I going to tell the world?" She cried out some more.
