"Livvy, what's wrong?" Fitz had just walked into the living room and saw Olivia pacing around the couch and waving her hands like she does when she's talking. "Nothing I'm fine. Sit and rest please Fitz." He walked over and enveloped her in his arms as best as he could. "You pace in circles when something is wrong." She gave him a look. "When you're just thinking its back and forth but when something is bothering you circles, like right now. Liv, you're making me dizzy. Please come over here." She joined him on the couch sitting on the opposite side. "I am thinking," he gave her that look that he occasionally had demanding further explanation. "Okay I'm worrying about how Michael is going to react to you and I'm thinking about how to handle it, but that is not going to help. Fitz cut it out you cant give me a hickey ten minutes before my gun toting thug of a brother gets here!" He was nuzzling into her neck and started kissing her right beneath her ear, where he knew usually calmed her right down, but with her family's arrival due any minute she was wound tighter than usual.
Before he could answer he heard Michael coming in and quickly moved to the other side of the couch as Olivia's eyes went wide. "I heard the word thug, I can only assume you're talking about me?" He said as he walked into her apartment. Huck and Claudia followed closely behind him. Olivia nodded and laughed as she went over to hug him. She hugged Huck and her sister then went and sat on the floor in-between Fitz legs in front of the couch. It was second nature for her to be near him, so she didn't think twice when she did in front of her family. "Okay, so who's family found out? Did you get the guy? Was there only one? What's the game plan? Do I have to come home?" Olivia asked looking at her brother, he hadn't relaxed his posture or taken his eyes off Fitz, who seemed a little too comfortable in his baby sister's home. "Don't you think this should be kept in the family?" Michael immediately took a tone that alerted Olivia she had to explain to situation. "Mikey," Huck warned but it was too late. Olivia already had her fight face on. "Michael, this is Fitz he's my, uhm, boyfriend. He took a bullet for me this morning so that makes him a part of this." Fitz looked around awkwardly wondering what to do. He knew Olivia didn't really like the term boyfriend, she claimed it was juvenile, but he sort of liked hearing her say that. "He's your UHM boyfriend Liv, that's not good enough! We didn't even know about him until this morning!" Olivia was getting ready to attack but Huck jumped in before he had the chance, "I knew. Liv told Camille and lord knows she can't keep a secret." Camille was Huck's younger sister. She had just turned eighteen, but her and Olivia were extremely close. Fitz took Huck's calm demeanor as a sign that he might be okay to approach and since he was closest Fitz extended his hand to Huck first and introduced himself, then to Michael. "The only reason you're not being interrogated right now is because we have way bigger problems, but don't think you're getting away with anything," Michael warned him. Fitz just nodded and sat back down behind Olivia.
Claudia watched as the whole scene unfolded, then she sat down next to Olivia with a smirk on her face. Her brother was a hot head but Olivia had him wrapped around her finger from the time she was born. There would be no way he would be anything but polite to Fitz and the four of them knew it even it Fitz didn't. She turned to Olivia, "Liv you've got some serious splaining to do when the guys leave." Olivia laughed and put her head on her sister's shoulder. "I know CeCe I know." While Olivia and Claudia were close they didn't have a typical sister relationship, between the age difference and Claudia being so clinical, it was more like having two moms. She did feel bad from keeping her relationship with Fitz a secret, but she knew he sister wouldn't approve of her dating her TA. Even if it wasn't technically against the rules, it was frowned upon to the extent that they could both suffer. Hopefully seeing Fitz jump in front of a bullet for her would have the same response it had garnered from Huck and Michael.
"Okay let's get to it." Michael sat in one of the oversized chairs on the other side of the room and Huck remained standing at the far end of the room. "We know who sent this guy, it was the Figlio family. They only sent one guy. He was supposed to confirm your survival and nothing else, but I guess when he saw you and us he got twitchy. Luckily for you he wasn't much of a shot. He seemed to be pretty low level considering how quickly he broke. Problem is this, we don't know how they found out about you or when. Its been almost four years why do this now." Claudia picked up where Michael left off, "that's what we're worried about Liv. We need to know if the leak was inside the family, so until then we think you should stay here. The guards will stay and keep an eye out around the building, and we've already rented them an apartment across the hall so they wont look conspicuous coming in and out." Olivia was processing the fact that she would be under guard, but at least she would be able to stay in Providence. She was so close to her degree and she had Abby and Fitz there. "That's better than I was expecting honestly." Olivia leaned back into Fitz relieved, but the look on Huck's face gave her pause. "What am I missing," she asked. "Liv when we say you need to stay here, we mean here, as in this apartment. Fitz too. We can't take the chance of him coming in and out and being followed." Claudia told her as calmly as possible but she knew it would be a fight.
"You can't ask us to do that! We have classes, lives!" Olivia immediately got up and started pacing in circles again. Fitz finally spoke up, "how long would this have to happen?" "A week, maybe two." Michael answered him. "Okay," he got up and went to Olivia and stood in front of her to stop her motion, "Livvy we can do this. Its Wednesday right so we miss Thursday and Friday, then its fall break. We wont miss much. It won't be that bad. Really I couldn't have picked a better time to get shot." She gave him a dirty look and told her family, "I'll give it until the end of fall break, but then I want a real plan. Looking for a leak and beating people until they talk is not a plan Michael." Claudia walked over and stood next to Fitz, who was holding her hand and still stopping her from pacing, "I'll work on it Liv. I promise," she said. "We're going to need groceries and stuff if were stuck here. I want books and puzzles." She knew she sounded like a child, but something about getting locked away had that effect on her. Laughing Huck told her they would get on it as soon as she got a list together.
