Hey guys, thanks for reading, reviewing, etc. Love hearing your feedback :)

Olivia sat on her office sofa, flicking through the news channels until she saw the replaying of a press conference she had done earlier on one of the stations. She had spent the entire last half a week working diligently on this case, and was finally glad it was over. Olivia wondered if everyone could notice the chubbiness of her cheeks or if it was something just in her head. No one at OPA had mentioned anything, but then again that wasn't something you would bring up with your boss, no matter how close you are.

Olivia's cell buzzed on the coffee table in front of her, not recognising the number she was hesitant to answer, she was really not in the mood for pulling an all-nighter on a new case so soon after the last one. "Olivia Pope," she answered.

"Liv," the voice on the other end said, and Olivia was surprised to hear him. "Hi."

"It's 4am over there," she said. Fitz was in Germany for conference and had been for the last few days. They had barely been able to speak. The time difference made the midnight calls near impossible, not to mention they'd both been working almost non-stop.

"4:30," Fitz corrected, and Liv looked up to the clock to see he was right.

"That doesn't change the fact that it's still considered early," she fake scowled, because in reality to she was glad to hear from him.

"I'd have to be up in a half an hour, so it's not a big change," Fitz explained. He didn't care about the amount of sleep he got, he just wanted to hear Liv's voice. Plus he knew that would do more to keep him awake and alert than an extra few minutes of sleep.

"Okay," she smiled as she laid back into the sofa. "So what's going on over there? I've seen bits and pieces on the news, but the coverage has been scarce," Liv asked.

"Well we've made some headway with the peace agreement with North Zanzibar, but we still have a lot to flesh out before anything will happen. Then, I had my keynote address last night, which Cy is sure will gain some voters, but we'll see come election day," Fitz started.

"I've recorded it, I was going to watch when I got home," Liv added. She would have watched it live, if it hadn't been for her client.

"Good, I'd like to hear what you think. But other than that, it's unusually quiet on my front. Which is something I don't think I can say for you," he finished. Obviously he didn't have time to watch the news, and even if he did the German news cycle wasn't so much set on what was happening to scandalous senators in D.C. But he was always kept informed of the goings-on back home in one way or another.

"Just another day at Olivia Pope and Associates," Liv said, and they both fell into a natural silence.

Fitz listened to the sound of her breathing and wished he could be there with her, or she be there with him. Even though he'd be home in the next few days, the time away from Olivia was almost too much to handle. Since he found out about the pregnancy he loved her even more than he once had, something he didn't believe was possible. He loved that they were on the same page, and that they were truly the team that had been trying to be for so long. He loved lying in her bed together with his hand on her stomach, just waiting for the day their little bump would kick at the touch.

"How's Cyrus?" Olivia asked. Cyrus didn't usually go away on Fitz's international trips, but this time he made an exception, and Liv could guess why.

"You know Cyrus, he hasn't stopped. He keeps trying to convince me to convince you to give up the baby. Guess he thinks he still has time," Fitz explained and Olivia could only laugh at his attempts. She knew Cyrus had a much better chance convincing her than she would ever have of convincing Fitz. But even that chance was a slim one. Something extremely drastic would have to happen to make her change her mind, and she couldn't see that happening now.

"You'd think he'd learn, move on and accept it. He's stubborn not thick," Liv said.

"So, how are you feeling?" Fitz asked moving the subject off of Cyrus and back on to something he actually cared about.

"I was sick after lunch, and felt queasy this morning, but right now I'm great," she explained. She didn't know if the feeling right now was because it was late and her dinner had settled or if it was because of Fitz. But somehow ever since the 'morning' sickness started happening, it would never occur around him, so much so he would joke that she was making it up.

…

Fitz and Liv talked until the half hour was up, and after the call disconnected, Liv almost stood up to leave, but just as she did, she heard a knock from the other side of her office door. Before she could answer the door pushed open and Abby walked in.

"Good, you're still here. Look what the Senator sent over," she said as she held a bottle of wine and two glasses in her hands. "It's been so long since we properly talked, I just felt like we should open it up and bring on the old times," she smiled hopeful.

"I was about to go home, Abby. I'm not drinking," Liv replied.

"Hah, Olivia Pope not drinking, that'll be the day," she laughed before taking a seat and opening the bottle.

"I'm serious," she said as she pushed the glass away.

"What? Are you pregnant?" Abby joked as she poured herself a glass of red. Olivia went quiet. She didn't want to lie to Abby, she was her best friend. A lie of omission wasn't as bad as a lie itself. Abby looked up at the lack of response. And Liv's face said everything. "You're Pregnant?" Abby asked, her eyes almost bulged out of her head, and mouth hung open. "You are, you're pregnant," she said finally picking her mouth back up off the floor.

"Abby," Liv began knowing the tornado of questions that were about to come out of her friends mouth.

"With the Presidents baby? It is the President's, right? You're not seeing someone else and didn't tell me? I mean that is entirely possible you didn't tell me you were pregnant, who knows what else you've been hiding," Abby said shooting off everything that came to mind not really thinking through what she said, but she was still in shock over the news, there was no time for decorum.

"Abby," Liv tried again.

"My best friend is pregnant with the President of the United States' baby. Does he know? How far along are you? Why didn't you tell me earlier? And why isn't this glass bigger?" She asked at lightning speed.

"Abby, calm down, it's not a big deal," Liv said trying to bring the red head down a few levels.

"Calm down? Not a big deal? Liv, the Leader of the Free World is going to have an illegitimate child with his mistress, don't tell me that this isn't a big deal. And don't get me started on the fact that you're the mistress."

"Okay, I choose my words wrong, but you do need to calm down, I can't talk to you when you're like this," Liv said, and Abby wanted to know everything, so she would have to agree to whatever Olivia wanted.

Abby took a large gulp from her glass before speaking. "Alright."

"You have to promise to keep this between you and me, no one else can know, okay?" Olivia asked, she needed to know that before she said anything else.

"I promise."

So I really want to get into the Scandal fandom, I want to know the people who leave reviews and write stories, but I don't know where to start, so if someone would like to be the Aladdin to my Jasmine and show me 'A Whole New World' that would be awesome (sorry I had an essay on Aladdin recently- and the reference aren't leaving my head). So either leave me a review, shoot me a pm, or find me on twitter (its in my bio), and i'll love you forever.

Also what did you think of the chapter. Let me know what you thought.

Please Review :D
