I am so completely sorry that I have taken so long to update, but I have been full on busy with uni work (spent 12 days straight in rehearsals and performances and then had to do an assignment and an exam)- is still i have one assignment left (but if it's not due today, I wont do today...jks)

I also haven't messages the people who won my competition (Again way too busy to compose those emails) but will message them right after uploading.

"As you know the polls closed an hour ago on the West Coast, but even though there are still some votes to be counted, it seems the AP has now called the election. We are now getting word that we will be crossing live to the White House to hear from the victor."

The press swarmed around the visitor's entrance into the White House, as both Fitz and Sally would be holding their victory or concession parties there. Olivia and Abby walked in side by side, Abby although wouldn't let on was there to protect Liv knowing the media storm that could hit, but Liv didn't seem to care what the reporters would say to her.

"Ms Pope, why are you here tonight?" A reporter called out as Liv and Abby walked passed.

To the reporters surprise Olivia stopped. "I'm here to support my friend, Fitzgerald Grant. Our names might have been connected by unsubstantiated rumours in the press recently, but that doesn't mean I won't be here to offer my congratulations when he wins," Liv responded and then turned away and continued walking inside.

"Was that fun?" Abby asked once they were completely inside and couldn't be picked up from a stray microphone.

"Shutting down the press? Always," Liv laughed.

The pair walked into the room they had been directed to and it was as if Fitz had his view plastered to the door in the anticipation of Olivia's entrance, because as soon as she entered she found his eyes staring out to her. But that didn't make her go to him. She knew she had to keep some distance. If they were both determined to keep the paternity secret until the inauguration then whenever they were around people they had to act as if Olivia's belly wasn't full of Baby Grant.

When they finally made their way around to each other, they were in the centre of the room and the focus of everybody's attention. This wasn't all that uncommon for them, he was the President after all, but this was the first time they had been seen together since Sally announced that Fitz was the father.

"Olivia. It's nice to see you," Fitz said holding out his hand to greet her, which she smiled warmly and shook.

"You too, Mr President. And good luck tonight," she said as Fitz's thumb brushed the back of her palm. Not wanting the crowd to see a lingered handshake, the both pulled away in sync.

"And Abby," Fitz went to greet her next, as she was still standing to Olivia's side. "I don't think I would be here without the both of you. You've done a great job with this campaign. I know making me look good isn't always easy," he laughed.

"That's for sure," Abby joked as her hand dropped from the President's. Fitz of course didn't take offense to her joke, they had a hard working relationship in the last few months, but he strangely respected the red head for the loyalty she had for Olivia, and now really didn't mind the fact that she also lied to him for two months about why Liv really left. "Well we shouldn't keep you," Abby said, still trying to protect the couple.

…

The night went by quickly and soon the results would be out. Everybody in the room turned their attention all at once to the television, there was an alert ready to announce the election winner. Would Fitz keep his current title, or would Sally drop the 'Vice' from hers? That was the question everybody in the room, and in the country, was waiting with baited breath to receive an answer to.

Fitz surveyed the room. The atmosphere was a lot different to the last election. Maybe because everyone in the room was wondering if they would still have job come January. Last time the anticipation of winning the Presidency didn't seem as important for anyone but himself. If he lost now all these people would be out of work.

And then the word came.

Fitz instantly looked over to Olivia, whose smile and nod told him exactly how proud and happy she was. He would be a two term President.

…

Fitz took to the podium ready to give his speech to the American people. He had been reviewing this speech in his head all day. Olivia had been so sure of his victory that he didn't even have a speech prepared if he did lose. And of course she was right in this instance, as she was in every instance, that memorising two speeches would have been a waste of time.

"Firstly, tonight I would like to thank The People who have again put their faith in me to lead this country for another four years. I will to the best of my ability make you proud that you chose me to continue being your President. We will put our best foot forward and continue with the good work we have so far accomplished. But things will change in the next term, and in my opinion they will only be for the better. We are getting rid of the things that didn't work in the last administration, and bringing in things that we know will," Fitz said with a confident smile on his face and then continued one with his speech.

…

Fitz waited until he was able to sneak away unnoticed, which was easier said than done. But he needed to really see Olivia. The only thing that had put a damper on the night was the fact that he couldn't be open and honest about Liv and himself.

"Well done, Mr President," Liv smiled as Fitz walked into the Oval and over to her. She had been waiting for him for a while, as she found it much easier to get away from the crowd than he would have.

"Guess that answers the question on where we'll be raising this little one," Fitz said as he laid his hands on Olivia's stomach. Liv didn't respond except by placing her lips on his. "Can you believe that in a few short months, we'll be here together with no more need to hide?" He asked rhetorically as they pulled away from each other.

"It's definitely hard to believe," Liv said, given the last four years of their relationship, it seemed unfathomable to finally be at this stage. But it was a stage they were both excited to enter.

Hope you enjoyed :)
