LIV'S POV

"Get up" Fitz ripped off the blankets as i glared at him.

"No"

"Yes! We have to go see Emmy"

"Is she alright?!" Fitz had sent her to his parents for a little bit which only made things worse for us.

"She'll be fine once you get there, showered, dressed meet me on the south lawn"

I narrowed my eyes but nodded and watched him go out of the bedroom.

I knew photographers would be outside so i untangled the mess that was apparently my hair and straightened it after showering. Fitz had sent an aide to get me maternity clothing since all my old jeans never fit anymore. I chose a red dress since it was the end of august so not cold outside and some flats. I heard the whispers as i moved through the white house

"Good Morning Liv" Harrison stood before me as i put on my coat rubbing my stomach.

"Hi"

I was panicking it was my first time talking to someone other than Fitz in two weeks

"How's the baby?"

"Baby is great" i laughed at the fact that he wasn't asking me about the kidnapping.

"We should get you outside"

I nodded and followed as the press snapped photos by the fence i smiled as much as i could.

"Wait Harrison" i pulled his arm

"Yeah?"

"How was.. Was he okay?" I looked towards Fitz who was watching us

"He drank.. A Lot.. He was mean but it was understandable"

I nodded him and joined Fitz as he waved to the press and followed me onto Air Force One.

We sat in silence for five hours. We weren't working on anything just sitting avoiding each other. Avoiding another fight that i wasn't ready to have.

I watched as the SUV passes the ranch and drove off of the Grant family property but on the same road about 15 minuets out.

"Where are we going?!"

"Stop the car please" Fitz hoped out onto a stoney driveway and walked towards a large house, more like mansion but a house to a president, it was a deep brown with two deeper brown wooden doors as the windows were glass but surrounded by dark brown bricks. It had a front porch and a large garage.

"Livvie come on" he called over his shoulder as he walked up the driveway.

"Why couldn't you just tell them to drop us up here?" I huffed after the climb to the top

"The drive way just got put in"

"I'm the same size of a car anyways"

He chuckled as he opened on of the wooden doors "you are pregnant big difference"

I looked around as we walked into a foyer that had a black soft bench in the corner and a glass table with little knick knacks on it. To the right was a hallway and to the left was the large spiral stair case. I followed him to the right and watched as he showed me the offices and laundry room. When we walked back towards the foyer there was a large open room that was probably a living room attached to the biggest kitchen i had ever seen.

"Why are we here?!"

"I wanted you to have something to bring you back to us"

"What?"

"After i asked you where you wanted to live i started planning it with Dad. This is our house Livvie, after the White house this is where you, me, emmy and the baby will be living."

"You built us a house?"

"I had it built yes"

I felt my eyes starting to water "i wanted you to see that something is on the other side, and it's us, our family, here and i am sorry for going on the trip i wish i never went.-"

I crossed the living room and hugged him "i don't blame you Fitz, i said that because i was scared i should have never said that"

"I can't watch you destroy yourself Livvie"

"Please" i cried as he pulled back "please don't leave me, i'll get better i promise!"

His eyebrows furrowed "i'm not leaving you" he kissed me "i just want to help you"

"Help me" i repeated " okay"

FITZ'S POV

I woke up to Livvie wiggling around in the master bedroom in our new house. We had hashed everything out and after getting her to agree to talk about it once and never again if she wanted to she had basically attacked me. She was scared and i could see it every time i moved my hands so eventually i told her every move as we were making love.

"Where are you going?!" I pulled her naked body back into the bed and watched as she smiled while i ran my hand over her stomach. She had 3 more months until the 9 month mark. Her stomach was round and her face had gained some weight but other than that she looked the same.

"I was going to take a shower"

"Not yet" i kissed her inner thigh and watched as she squirmed. I licked her once and watched her yell out so i continued.

"The phone Fitz" she breathes out

"Answer it" i dare her "might be important"

"It's Jake.. jake Ballard"

"Answer it"

"Fitz please-"

"Answer it Lib"

She huffs and i continue my assault

"Hello?" "Hi jake.. Yes it's Liv- FUCK" she screams as i move faster "sorry i ran into a table" i hear laughter "Fitzgerald is busy at the moment can take a message?"

"Call you.." She whimpered "got it, bye Jake" she threw my phone down and gripped my hair as she let go loudly

(Break)

"we should start thinking of names" i said when we walked back over to the ranch, it was a 25 minute walk but she insisted we get exercise. The secret service walked in front and behind us but gave us space. She was an independent woman so anytime she wanted to hold my hand i welcomed the thought quickly.

"I already have a name for the baby"

"You do?"

"Yes yours"

"What" i stopped walking pulling her back a little as she didn't notice i stopped walking

"You were named after your father, you are the first boy in the family just like him" she shrugged

"You want to name the baby after me?"

"I had a lot of time to think of names" she shrugged "the baby should be named after his father, a great man" she smiled

"Livvie"

"You can choose the next name if you don't like it"

"No i do" i laughed kissing her

"But not Fitz, that's would be too confusing, so Gerry"

"Big Gerry, Fitz and Gerry" she nodded

"I thought you would have caught on to the fact that i said the next time"

She laughed as we continued walking.

LIV'S POV

"LIV!" Fitz's mom hugged me after Fitz and Emmy had gone off on a trail ride.

"Hi" i squirmed under her gaze

"How are you feeling?"

"Better than yesterday"

"So the house helped?"

"Fitz helped.. He's always saving me" i whispered

"He's your husband, that's his job"

"I'm supposed to save him too"

"You did!" She moved closer on the couch towards me "Emmy would have grown up to be a brat if you didn't come in when you did and Fitz? He would be a completely different man then the one his is today"

(Break)

"Hey darlin" Big Gerry said when i came into the study in the middle of the night. I had such trouble sleeping, I wasn't having nightmares i was restless. I had so many thoughts going through my head 24/7.

"Big Gerry" i gasped "you scared me"

He chuckled and turned on the light "Can't sleep?"

"No"

"Sit, please" he offered me the couch as he switched and sat in the chair.

"Why are you up?" I asked

"Caroline wanted me to check on you" he wasn't the Grant who tip toed around you. He was blunt just like i was.

"Me?"

"She heard you pacing and apparently Fitzgerald's are deep sleepers because i doubt Fitz heard you huh?"

"Sleeps like a baby"

He smiled sadly "you doing okay? I mean you've only been home for two weeks"

"I just wish everyone would stop whispering, let me stand up by myself. I'm strong right?"

"Of course, you are a Grant" he said in a stern tone

"I know i'm being a little over bearing with Emmy but i just have anxiety knowing what can happen" i had asked Fitz to send Harrison and Huck out with her when she went outside. I always had to know where she was going even if it was with family.

"It's understandable" he paused "but you need to let her enjoy her childhood too, she's only 6"

I nodded "any names for the little one?"

I smiled and patted my stomach "Fitzgerald Thomas Grant the fourth, i think we'll call him Gerry"

"Seriously?"

"Named after 3 great men!" He smiled
