I just wanted to thank everyone for the amazing reviews on the last chapter. I absolutely love hearing from you guys! It makes my day!

Anyway, this is the chapter you've all been waiting for. It's time for the big reveal! I hope I did it justice and you all love it as much as I do. Don't forget to let me know what you think!

Enjoy!

"Hi." Olivia whispered into the phone.

"Hi." Fitz said.

"How are you?" she asked. It was silent. "Fitz?"

"I'm outside your door."

"What?"

Olivia stood up from the couch, running to the door. She opened it, as she hugged Fitz, walking backwards into her apartment.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, smiling.

"There's something that I need to tell you."

"Is it what you've been trying to tell me for a couple days now?" she asked as he nodded.

"Sit down." he ordered.

"Okay?" she laughed, as she did what she was told.

"Livvie, I don't know how to tell you this. But you need to hear this from me. Just remember that I love you. I love you so much and I will give up anything for you."

"Fitz what is going on? Just tell me."

"Okay. First off, I lied about what happened between Jake and I."

"What do you mean?"

"Jake and I fought. Not physically of course. But we had an argument, mainly about you. He said something to me, which has bothered me and tore me apart since that day."

"And what is that?"

He sighed. "Let me start from the way beginning. Over 20 years ago, I was in the Navy, you know that. There was a mission called Operation Remington."

"I know. I've heard some of it. Not a lot, but please continue."

"I was supposed to be flying the plane, but I got called to do another mission…in Iceland."

"Iceland?"

He nodded. "I was instructed to shoot down a plane. I didn't know anything about it. I was just following my orders."

"Okay? What's so bad about shooting down a plane? Didn't you do that almost every day?"

"Yes but Liv…" he stopped and sighed. "I don't know how to tell you this."

"Please, just tell me. You can trust me."

"Livvie...the plane was your mothers."

Her heart stopped as tears filled her eyes.

"What?" she gulped.

"I'm so sorry Olivia. I didn't know it was your mother until the other day when Jake said something about it." She didn't say anything. "Livvie, please say something."

"Get out." she whispered.

"What?"

"GET OUT!" she yelled as she started crying.

"Olivia listen to me. I love you. You know that. I didn't know that your mother was on that plane. I was young and eager. I did what I was told to do. I had no idea that I was the reason that over 300 people lost their lives, including your mom. If I would've known what I was shooting down…I'm sorry Liv. Please, I love you. So much."

"You killed my mother!"

"I didn't know your mother was on that plane! I didn't know you then! I was a different person! I know that this is hard for you. I know that you hate me right now. But you said that no matter what I did, you would always forgive me."

"How can you justify killing my mom? I always just thought it was an accident. But it's your fault that I lost my mother when I was twelve. It's your fault that she hasn't gotten to see me become the woman that I am. Thanks to you, she'll never see me get married, have children of my own, nothing! Because of you! I don't care if you were just following orders. You killed 300 innocent people. No actually, you killed 301."

He looked at her, not knowing what she was talking about.

"Verna. I see that you have no remorse for killing people."

"No remorse? No remorse!? I have spent the past couple of days crying and beating myself up. I cried in Cyrus's arms. Cyrus! How do you think I feel finding out 20 years later that I'm responsible for 300 deaths? I'm not trying to make myself look innocent, but cut me some slack."

"Cut you some slack?" she started crying harder and harder. "You. Killed. My. Mother. How do you expect me to ever look at you the same way? I got sent from boarding school to boarding school after she died. My whole life, I felt like I was unwanted. My dad made me feel like I was unwanted. There is not a day that goes by that I don't wonder what my life could've been like if my mother wouldn't have died. I wouldn't be who I am today. I wouldn't be so emotionally unstable. I would have a mother!"

"Liv, hear me out. Please? Just...listen to me."

He knealed down in front of her, placing his hand on her knee. "Olivia Pope, I love you. What I did is unforgivable, I know. I am so incredibly sorry. I was told to take down a plane, so I did. It was my job, I was following orders. I had no idea that your mother was on that plane. If I would've known that it was a passenger plane, I wouldn't have done it. Killing innocent people is against my morals. I love you so much Liv. The past couple days have been hell for me. I haven't ate, I haven't slept, all I've thought about was that I'm about to lose the love of my life because of something I did when I was 20 some years old. I will do anything in my power to make this right. I can't lose you Olivia. You're the reason I breathe. You're my everything. I'm not trying to justify what I did. Just let me earn your forgiveness, please?"

"All you could think about was that you were going to lose the love of your life? All I can think about is that the love of my life killed my mother! I understand you were just following orders, but my mother lost her life because of it. You can apologize all you want, but apologizing is not going to bring her back. Nothing you can say or do can bring her back. Unless you can alter time and take what you did back, there is no way that I can EVER forgive you. Now leave."

Olivia stood up, walking over towards the door. Fitz just stared at her from where he stood.

He sighed, seeing her look very serious at the door. He walked over to her.

"Sweet baby." he whispered, attempting to caress her face.

"Please, don't...touch me." she said, opening the door.

Tom and Hal stood outside as they turned around.

"Goodbye Livvie." he said as he walked out of her apartment.

She didn't answer him as she just slammed the door. She started crying profusely, slowly falling to the ground. The love of her life killed her mother. After everything they had been through, she never thought that this would be the reason they ended. She cried harder and harder, more than she ever did before. She couldn't help but think that Fitzgerald Grant was the reason that everything happened to her in her life.

He was the reason that her mother died, she was sent to boarding school, she lost touch with her father. He was also the reason she finally fell in love, wanted to settle down, and live happily ever after.

Fitzgerald Grant shaped her whole life 20 years ago without even knowing it, in more ways than one.

Sooooo...? Reactions? Thoughts? Criticism? Leave it in a review!

I hope you all enjoyed it! If there's anything I missed or anything you'd like to see next chapter, let me know!

Have a great day! :)
