Saturday went by fast before Eli and Olivia went to Cyrus's for dinner. She walked into the house bringing the apple pie that James loved into the kitchen and helping with dinner. While Olivia helped James with dinner, Eli and Cyrus talked in the living room.

"Where's Fitz at?" she asked James.

"He called a few minutes ago, said he was running late but he'll be here soon. Stop worrying, Fitz and Eli will get along and everything will go fine. Just relax," he told her rubbing her shoulders.

"Can't we just get this night over with? I don't want to drag this out anymore. Cyrus opened his fat mouth to Dad about the rape."

"He was doing it for your own good. Eli needed to know."

"Whatever, I'm done discussing that. How's your life going?"

"Good, will you take care of Cyrus next weekend? I have to go out of town for an assignment for the paper. This could make my career if I do a great job on this."

"Sure, James. I'll make sure to walk him, feed him, all that stuff."

"I know he just needs a babysitter for a couple days."

Olivia brought the snack tray into the living room for her dad and Cyrus when the doorbell rang. She went to answer it knowing it was Fitz.

"Hey, ready to meet him?" she asked after a kiss.

"Yeah, better do it before I lose my nerve," he answered.

She took his hand and led him to the living room letting it go, "Dad this is Fitz, my…"

"Hey look who's here!" Cyrus yelled when the door opened again. They all turned to see who it was. "Mellie's here! Mellie you know Olivia. She is Fitz's Civics student."

"Olivia Pope, it's great to finally meet you! Fitz has told me so much about you it feels like I've known you forever," she said hugging Liv.

"It's nice to meet you too, Mellie. Just a quick question, who are you?"

Mellie's smile fell quickly. "Honey, I hear everything about Olivia but she doesn't know me? Olivia, I'm so sorry, I'm Fitz's wife. I'm sorry I'm a bit late Cyrus, I got out of work a bit later than I thought I would. Then this little guy decided we needed to go to the bathroom four times on the way here."

"No problem, Mellie. James and Olivia were just finishing dinner. Is that almost ready, Liv? I'm starving."

Olivia stared at Mellie taking her in. She was pretty and very much pregnant. From the looks, she was about seven months pregnant. "Yeah… I'll go check on that. Mrs. Grant, anything I can get you to drink?" she said through gritted teeth.

"Water would be great, and please call me Mellie," she smiled.

"Sure, I'll be right back," Olivia told her. She calmly walked out of sight of everyone and threw down the vase on the table in the hallway. "SORRY!" She continued to the kitchen breaking, hitting, slamming anything in her way down. "SORRY!"

"I'm going to go help her," Fitz told them.

"No, that's alright, Fitz. I'll get it," James countered. He eased out of the room and ran down the hall to the kitchen avoiding as much glass as he could. Just as he entered the kitchen she threw a wine glass against the wall opposite him. "Okay, we're going to stop throwing things. Liv, come here," James pulled her into a tight hug. "I know this sucks."

She cried hard into his shoulder. "Cyrus knew he was married, that's why he didn't want me with Fitz. I should have listened to him before. Why didn't he tell me himself?"

"I don't know, sweetie. Do you want me to cancel the dinner tonight?," James asked her.

"No, I'll be fine. Gladiators don't get to run and that's what I'd be doing."

"How are you going to handle this then?"

"I don't know, right now, I'm going to get a glass of water for her and take it to her. Then I'm going to clean up the mess I made in the hallway and help finish dinner. When dinner is over I am going to bed. I'll spend the night here so Dad can go home, I'm sure Dad would love to talk to Cyrus. After that, it will be over."

James kissed her forehead and let her take the glass to Mellie.

"Here you go, Mellie," she said handing her the water. "Dinner is almost ready, I'll come get all of you after the table is set."

"Let me help you set the table," Fitz said getting up. Olivia turned towards him and gave him the evilest look she could. "Or I'll stay here."

"Good. I'll see you in a few minutes."

Eli caught her wrist before she left the room. "You are being rather rude, Olivia. Let him help set the table."

"No, Dad. James and I have it handled. You four sit and chat."

She went back to the dining room setting the table and bringing the food out. When everything was ready she had James send everyone in.

Dinner went rather quietly among the six of them. No one had much to say, especially Fitz and Olivia. She started to clean up the plates and food before everyone was actually done but they all could tell that she was angry about something. Eli and Mellie were in the dark about anything going on.

When everything was cleaned up and she did the dishes she went to the living room where everyone was.

"I'm heading to bed. Dad I'll stay here tonight. Cyrus, James, thanks for dinner. Mellie it was lovely meeting you. Good night everyone," Olivia said before heading up the stairs.

"Dinner was great, Olivia. Thank you, I'm glad I finally got to meet you," Mellie smiled.

"Have a safe drive home," she helped Mellie get her coat on.

"I'll be home soon, I need to talk to Cyrus," Fitz told her.
