A/N Ok here chapter 5. Hope you guy's like it. As for the question about how Liv doesn't realize that Tripp was her son the story wouldn't really work if she knew right away that he was her son. However I am trying to write it so it's clear that she think a lot of Tripp and she actually does believe that he is hers on some level however she is chalking up her believes as those of missing her son because she truly believes that he is out there somewhere in Australia with his adopted family. But don't get me wrong when the time comes she will find out that Tripp is in fact the son she gave up all those years ago.

Chapter 5:

Fitz was walking back to his Godsons birthday party, distracted by the ongoing conflict in the Middle

East and what his next move would be. When all of a sudden he went to turn a corner and abruptly

collided with another body. He quickly balanced himself as he caught the other person and kept her

from falling. It was then, with his hands on her waist, and her pressed against his as he steadied her

and she began to apologize that he realized that the person he had just collided with was no other then

Olivia Pope. He looked into her eyes still holding her as she stopped her apology and they both just

stared at each other as if time had stopped. He looked deep into her eyes as if he was staring into her

sole and for that moment, he almost forgot that past few years had happened. When Olivia finally broke

their eye contact regaining her composure and continued to apologize to him.

"Mr. President, I didn't see you coming. I apologize for almost knocking you down." Olivia replied

her voice a bit shaky and awkwardly as she fumbled to find words to say to him.

"It's quite alright, I wasn't paying attention either, I had other things on my mind, the watching

where I was going and I am late to our God sons birthday party out there." He replied looking at his

watch.

"It's alright you haven't missed much the kids are still arriving it's quite the crowd out there." Olivia

replied to him trying to continue their rather awkward conversation not sure really what to say or how

to end it.

"Awe well at least Tripp will have lots of presents and friends to play with, although Cyrus must not

be having such a great time out there with all those kids out there." Fits said taking in Olivia as she stood

there. Oh how he longed to grab her, hold her face between his hands and taste the sweet passion of

her kiss. Even after all these years he was still madly in love with her. To be near her his body still ached

for hers. He longed for the times when he would got to see her over the past few years, even if it was

filled with idle talk about their God children or the daily politics going on it the world. He continued

taking in her beauty as she again spoke.

"Yeah he was playing with Natasha, when I last left. Those two seem to have quite the bond started

there. She's getting to be quite the beautiful young girl. You and Mellie must be proud." She said with

pain her voice at having to acknowledged the child she believed he shared with another woman.

Fitz could hear the pain in her voice the pain in hear voice as she spoke to him and he longed to tell

her the truth that he was not in fact Natasha biological father, that he could never again have a child

with another woman, how she was the only woman he wanted to have his baby. They stared at each

other both willing the other to break off the small talk and get real with each other. Fitz finally grabbed

her hand ready to say something real, ready to break down the walls when he spotted her engagement

ring on her finger. He took a long breath taking it in, looking at another man's claim on his woman.

"Liv" he said as he looked back up at her staring into her eyes. "I… um I'm sorry I know Natasha's a

sore subject but I can't change the fact she exists. Just like I can't change the fact that your wearing

another man's ring on your finger, that hurts me just as much."

"It's been years since we broke things off did you expect me to just sit around wait for you to stop be

president your career was more important than I was that why Natasha exists and that's why I am

no longer your 's. I've moved on I am getting married I am going to have baby's with a man who puts

me a head of his career." Olivia said pulling away her hand from his and as she tries to focus

and believe her own words.

"Wait a minute, I was ready to give it all up, I was ready to chose you. When you and Mellie came

up with your all-star plan to save my presidency. You are the reason Mellie had Natasha. You walked

away from me." Fits replied to her years of anger brewing inside of him.

"You know it may have been my plan but you dint stop me, you dint say No. You went along with it.

You didn't really chose me either. So there you have it. You didn't chose me, I didn't chose you and now

it's over were through we have separate lives and the no use going over it because make no mistake

about it we are done." She said she went to walk past him and he grabbed her.

"Liv, we've both made mistakes but I love like ours cant die it's real and even time can't put it out. I

love you, I still want you even after all this time. Can you say that you don't want me, that you don't love

me?" He asked staring into her eyes.

"No, I can't, I do love you!" She said falling into his arms kissing him as they both melted into the

other forgetting they were in a hall way risking the very thing they had both given up so much to

protect.

Olivia regained her composure and pushed him away.

"No, I can't let this happen again I do love you, I always will but I won't be with you we hurt each other

and other that not good kind of love, that a toxic love and I won't allow this to happen. It's over let me

go. This is a mistake, being alone with you is always a mistake. All we will ever have is idle talk about our

god children and politics. There's nothing else left between us. So goodbye Mr. President she said as

she walked away leaving Fitz standing there both of their hearts breaking.
