FITZ'S POV
"I can't" i breathed as i laid down beside Liv.
"Fitz! Come on"
"The baby kicked me Liv! As i was about to enter you he kicked me, that's weird"
"Ugh, fine!" She put back on her shirt
She had finally hit her 9 month mark and she was getting frustrated with her stomach
"I'm sorry Livvie, it was just.. Gone"
She laughed and snuggled up next to me.
"Do you ever wonder how we got here?"
"Pregnant? I'm pretty sure it was the time you jumped me in the closet and gave me carpet burn on my ass" She shrieked and threw her head back in laughter
"Carpet burn?"
"Yes, carpet burn"
"I meant, we've been married for almost 3 years now and we can't keep our hands off of each other. I love you so much"
"Maybe it's because i spent the first year being an ass"
She chuckled "you're lucky i thought you were so attractive"
"So that's all i'm good for then? Making cute babies"
"Cute mixed squishy babies, with curly hair hopefully"
"I hope he looks like you because our girls can't look like you, i'd carry a shot gun everywhere"
"Yet you are pro gun control" she laughed "i'd be willing to have more"
"More what?"
"Babies, you wanted more"
"What? You would?!"
"Yes" she smiled "but let's get through this one okay?"
"Deal" i kissed her
LIV'S POV
"Liv" Jake called as i walked out of residency and downstairs to a meeting with the board of my charity.
"I'd prefer you call me Mrs. Grant"
"What?"
"This in inappropriate" i said as he grabbed arm pulling me into an empty room
"I want to know if you are okay"
"I am fine, why wouldn't i be?"
"I heard there was screaming in residency last week"
"Are you our chief of security?" I laughed "my husband and i had a fight, not that it's any of YOUR business but-" i clutched my stomach
"Are you alright?"
"Fine just braxton hicks" i straightened out "you are Fitz's friend, please do not make this uncomfortable, goodbye Jake"
I walked out of my meeting and into the Oval to see Fitz's parents.
"Libby!" Caroline grinned and hugged me
"What are you guys doing here?" I huffed as i was out of breath
"Fitz flew us out just in case" i smiled, Fitz and i had asked Big Gerry and Caroline to be in the hospital room. I needed all of my motivators and the three of them were at the top of the list.
"Plus i have to go to New York next week, i wanted someone to be here just in case"
"I'm not due for another two weeks Fitz"
"You never know Liv" Big Gerry smiled "you okay? You seem out of breath"
"Just a lot of weight" i stretched my back and watched as Caroline smoothed my hair.
"Let's go get some lunch Libby"
(Break)
"Can we talk?" Caroline asked as we sat down in the dining room. I watched her fold her hands, she was gorgeous being in her sixties. She had a backbone just like any other Grant but she was a softie at heart. Her hair was pinned up in a bun as she dressed in a pink suit.
"Of course"
"I hope you know i am here for you Lib. I know you put me at an arm's length because of your relationship with your mom" i looked down at my hands because she was right. "I won't disappoint you or leave you, i love you and i am so happy to finally have a daughter! So from now on i expect you to call me Mom"
"Yeah?"
She nodded and sipped her tea "We are a family and the baby is going to come into a loving home, i know you are worried about that but Fitz, he's really excited"
"He is?"
"Yes! You'll see"
(Break)
"I want to show you this before i go" Fitz said as he opened the nursery door. I hadn't been in here since we painted the room. Quinn said she would handle it herself so i let her since i wasn't up for moving around unless i had to.
There was a navy blue G on the door as we walked through the crib was on one side of the wall with a navy blue quilt already knitted. The changing table and dressers were in the designated corners i wanted them to be in stocked with diapers or clothes. There was a rocking chair in the corner by the crib and a bunch of stuffed animals in a trunk.
"That stupid chair took two full days to build" he murmured
"You built it?"
He nodded as he helped me sit down as i rocked back and forth.
"There's a monitor set up in the crib and the closet is fully stocked. The best part is the mobile!" He went over towards the crib and lifted it up revealing a monitor pad
"It's a heartbeat monitor so if his rhythm changes it will alert us but i also set up a basinet in our room. Apparently new moms want to co sleep with their baby"
"Have you seen the way we sleep?" I laughed "i will use the basinet for a few days but i think he should get used to his crib"
He nodded and stood back up coming and helping me stand. He started to show me other things but i grabbed the waist band of his jeans and pulled him towards me
"Thank you for finishing the nursery, i love it. You are the best husband in the whole wide world"
"That's a little biased-"
"Just the truth, now kiss me!" I pouted my lips and leaned up until his lips met mine
