"Edison you are an asshole!" Olivia said angrily.
"Olivia life happens!" Edison said enjoying Olivia being so angry.
"She's YOUR daughter and your ditching her for your crack head girlfriend's child. YOU PROMISED her a trip to Disney world." Olivia wanted to hit him so bad.
Nobody noticed Destiney heading towards the road. Olivia reached for her daughter but when she looked to her side Destiney wasn't there she looked up and seen her daughter run into the road.
"DESTINEY!" Olivia followed her daughter, she could hear cars screeching but she could only see her daughter. She reached her daughter but was then pushed out the road with Destiney clinging to her. She knew she broke something. She laid on on the sidewalk with her eyes closed. She felt a pair of hands on her arms shake her.
"Ma'am are you okay?" A man asked, his voice was beautiful.
Olivia muttered "Yes." She slowly opened her eyes. "Oh my Lord."
"Let me help you up." He picked Destiney up placing her on her feet. "Take my hands." He held his hands out for her to take. She could see the cameras flashing but she took his hands anyway. He pulled her up slowly but when she stood the pain went to her lower left leg, she yelped in pain.
The man softly whispered "Lean on me. I got you." Olivia leaned against him.
"Where's my daughter?" She said trying to look around.
"I'm right here mommy." Destiney walked in front of her. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, hon-"
Edison came rushing up to them with two agents on either side of him "Thank you, sir for saving my daughter and her mother. I don't know what I would have done if they got hit." Edison held his hand out to be shaken just as an agent handed Olivia one of her shoes that had fallen off. Olivia started hitting Edison with the heel "She could've DIED!" Olivia screamed "And you wouldn't give a damn." Edison was on the ground trying to keep from getting hit in the face. She was pulled away and Edison stood trying to gain his composure."
"President Grant is there anything I could do for you?" Edison asked.
"Yes, senator Davis. You could leave or be escorted to your vehicle. Your choice."
"Fine, Destiney come on." Edison said. Destiney ran and held onto the President's leg.
"I stay." Destiney said hiding her face.
"Tom, Hal help Senator Davis to his car, please." Tom and Hal took Edison by the arm and pulled him across the street.
"Do you think you can walk to my motorcade with my help?" She took a step and her knee gave out on her and she almost fell to the ground. The president carried her to his motorcade with Destiney right by their side. Destiney got in first then the President got in with Olivia safely in his arms.
"Thank you Mr. President, but where are we going?" The motorcade pulled off.
"The White House it's closer than the hospital. My doctor is the best after she examines you, I will take you home."
"Okay."
They sat quietly next to each other, Destiney fell asleep with her head in her mother's lap.
"What's your name?" President Grant asked.
"My name is Olivia Pope."
"The famous fixer...Olivia Pope. Well, you know who I am but you can call me Fitz."
"I don't think so. That would be very inappropriate."
"What would you say if I told you 'Let's be inappropriate'."
"I'd ask you 'Have you lost your mind?'"
"And what if I have."
"I'll never vote for you again."
"So you voted for me? Was it because i'm hot?"
"I never thought the President of the United States would be such a flirt."
"I never thought a professional fixer would be so attractive. So gorgeous." Fitz was getting closer.
" ." Olivia whispered.
" ."
"Really?"
"Really." He took her hand rubbing light circles with his thumb. "Say my name."
She whispered "Your the President of the United States."
"Your a well known fixer."
"I'm serious."
"Me too. Livvie say my name." He said watching her facial expressions closely, she just stared at him. The motorcade stopped and Fitz opened the door when he realized she wasn't going to say anything. He let her hand go and got out. He went to the other side of the vehicle and picked Destiney up while Cyrus Beene walked up to him.
"Fitz you've been getting great publicity because you saved the woman and little girl life and then you bring them to the White House to see the best doctor in Washington D.C.. This is great Fitz it might just help with re-election."
"Cyrus be quiet and hold her." Fitz said quietly so not to wake her. Cyrus took her and walked into the White House to find James, his husband. Fitz went around and lifted Olivia up carefully not to hurt her leg more.
"I'm sorry." Olivia whispered. Fitz quietly took her to the residence. Fitz gently put her on the couch and began to walk away. Olivia grabbed his hand "Wait. Please?" Fitz sat on the couch and looked at her. She held onto his hand tightly.
"The attraction between us is undeniable and your sweet, handsome, and gentle but I have a daughter and I don't want her to get the idea your going to be here forever and then you leave. I don't want to be hurt again and I definitely don't want to be known as the girl the President dumped or the President's ex-wife.
"I'm not Senator Davis, we are two different men. It's fine, I should have thought this through. It's too soon." Fitz responded getting up again.
" you can have any woman in the world but you want me. You've only known me for a hour and you're already want to claim me. Why? Your upset with me already. Why me?"
"Why not you, you are beautiful I see you on television everyday mostly with a man who doesn't deserve you. I might not know you very well but we can get to know each other from the inside out. I'm not giving up until you REALLY give us a try. You could be my end game, the love of my life, my future wife, the one for ME. "Livvie please give me a chance? Please?"
She whispered "Okay...Fitz." She smiled a little.
"Say it again?" Fitz got on his knees and put his forehead against hers.
"I'll give you a chance...Fitz." Their smile mimicked each other's.
