FITZ'S POV
"Hi honey" Liv came into the oval with Quinn. She had slept in Emmy's room last night after i commented on her eating habits.
"Hi" i said cautiously "Are you still mad at me?"
"No" she laughed "i'm planning your birthday"
"I don't need a huge birthday Liv"
She shot me a glare. I knew how much she loved birthdays since she didn't have the best ones when she was younger.
"Never mind" i laughed "so, what's the plan?"
"We're having a charity event for unicef, all the big politicians make a donation and then celebrate you" Liv grinned so it was clearly her idea
"So what would you like from me?"
"You need to give Quinn the names of people you don't want to come" Piv explained "your parents and Teddy are flying out on Thursday."
"The event is on saturday"
"Senator Davis" i blurted out. Liv dismissed Quinn quickly before standing beside me as i looked over her list.
"You have nothing to worry about"
"I have a beautiful wife, i have everything to worry about"
She smiled "edison is already invited, he's the senator of d.c that would be rude"
"Livvie"
"I won't leave your side, all night unless i have to pee"
I chuckled "one pee break and a quickie in the oval"
"Deal" she giggled as i bit down on her jaw. Her laugh was a sound i would never get tired of hearing.
LIV'S POV
Hiding my pregnancy was getting harder and harder from Fitz lately. My morning sickness had kicked in and i had to run to another bathroom so he wouldn't get suspicious. I wanted to surprise him on his birthday so two more days of hiding it would be fine.
(Break)
"You called an emergency meeting?" The White house doctor and 's sat in my office.
"Well, uh yes" i paused "Dr. Richards, i am 7 weeks pregnant"
"Congratulations!" He grinned "how did Fitz take the news?"
"It's a surprise for his birthday" they both smiled "but what i wanted to know was about my medication"
"Medication?"
"Olivia is on anti depressants"
"Okay well how have you been feeling since you found out you were pregnant?"
"Amazing, but what if it's- "
"What if you crash and burn?" Dr. Richards asked "if we need you to go back on it you can take a lower dose and another pill but let's try for now okay? Things are going good so i believe you can do this"
"I can do this" i repeated
I had to, i had to at least try for the baby.
(Break)
"LIV!" Caroline Grant's voice filled my office. I had just gotten back from a charity event in Alexandria missing the arrival of Fitz's family.
"Caroline, hi" i grinned hugging her.
"So, when's my grand baby due?!" She grinned as i stared in shock
"What?"
"You're glowing Liv plus your boobs are bigger"
"Shit" if she noticed then Fitz definitely noticed. The one thing the baby was doing was making my libido increase. We were doing it everywhere and anywhere we could. The maid had walked in on us in the dining room. Excusing herself immediately. I chuckled at the fact that Fitz and i didn't even stop.
"So, when's it due?"
"November 3rd"
"LIV" she rushed over and hugged me "fitzgerald never said anything.. I guess he wanted you to tell me-"
"Fitz doesn't know!"
"What?"
"Just you, me and Harrison and my doctors"
"Well how come?"
"I'm going to tell him on his birthday before breakfast"
"I have to keep a secret for two whole days?!"
"Yes!" I laughed "and no spilling to Big Gerry either!"
"Fine" she huffed
(Break)
"LOOK AT THIS!" Fitz boomed jumped on the bed beside me as he came into our bedroom with his iphone. He thrusted it into my hands as i read the head line
'president Grant hires new female chief of staff, wonder if he's initiating her too' i gulped as he clicked another link and it opened more headlines about the issue
"Stop reading those" i took his phone away but he just reached over me and took mine
"You changed your password?"
"Yes from prying eyes like yours" i laughed as he snatched his phone back
"Fitz?" I waved me hand in his face "FITZGERALD!"
I swung my legs over his lap and straddled him. His eyes went dark and he put the phone down "it doesn't matter right now okay? We're a good team and we always get past everything thrown our way"
"Just another speed bump?"
"Exactly" i smiled
"do you know what it does to me when you call me Fitzgerald?" He asked lifting my shirt up and throwing it across the room
"Show me"
I giggled as he growled and launched himself at me. A little while later we were cuddled up in bed as he ran his hands over my shoulder.
"Do you believe in soul mates?" I blurted out
"What?" He chuckled
"Soul mates"
"Are you asking if i think you're mine?"
"No-"
"Because that would be a yes" he turned me to face him "You know i still remember the first day you walked into the Oval. You wore the tightest black pencil skirt with a white blouse and your hair was so straight, even though you smiled you had these sad eyes ones that made you re- think everything. I had never examined someone so much before you. I don't think it was love at first sight but i swear Livvie, you are my soul mate"
I felt my breath hitch "Even if this marriage was handed to us, i love you. So much"
"But-"
"No buts, i know it must be hard for you to accept that i love you because of how you grew up but i promise one day you'll believe me"
"I do believe you" i hugged him "I do"
