"Olivia? Baby?" Fitz called out once he spotted her with her back turned towards him. His heart was thumping in his chest with fear with each step he took in her direction. He didn't know what was about to happen, but he hoped that he would still have a wife after the conversation. Upon hearing his voice, she quickly spun around causing Fitz's face to immediately frown. "Oh no, it's just me! I thought you needed a reason to get out of there. Let's go have some fun," Tamia said as she reached out her hand for him to grab and smiled up at him.
Fitz felt his entire body fill with rage. Not only was she playing with his life and his marriage, now it was his money and profession as well. Fitz was a hardworking man. When it came to doing a job he always gave one hundred and ten percent, but for the second time, Tamia has gotten in the way. "What the fuck is your problem? You told them that you're my wife? Are you stupid?" Fitz semi-shouted. And how could the assistant be so fucking clueless? Damn near everyone in the entire world knew who Olivia Pope was and how she looked. Sure, Tamia resembled Olivia in some ways, but they weren't identical twins! They had far more distinct differences than they did likeness.
Tamia shrugged as she smiled coyly. "I'm stupid over you. Let's go! Let's get out of here," she said again and this time, she successfully grabbed his hand.
Fitz snatched his hand away. He was trying his damn hardest to keep his anger under control and remember that regardless of how crazy she was behaving that this was Liv's sister and for that reason alone, he didn't want to hurt her. "Get the hell off of me! You are not my wife! You are nothing to me but a delusional ass sister-in-law. You need help, Tamia. I love your sister, ok? Olivia is the love of my life and I am not going to hurt her because you have some secret sister rivalry against her. You need to leave now. Because whatever you're looking for here, you're not going to find. All you've done is made a complete fool of yourself and made it very clear that Liv and I can no longer trust you. I will never leave Olivia for you, Tamia. Go get some fucking help."
"But I- Fitz, please-" Tamia croaked as she tried grabbing Fitz for the third time. In that moment, Fitz's reflexes kicked in and he pushed her, sending her to the ground.
Tamia looked up at him with the dirtiest look she could muster. As she stood up, she dusted herself off then pointed her finger in his face. "You've put your hands on the wrong one, Fitz. You are going to regret this," she said, seething outwardly.
With just as much anger and disdain in his voice and eyes, Fitz stood in her face and said, "Stay the hell away from me, Tamia" and walked away. Once he'd returned to the meeting, he continued pitching ideas like nothing had happened though on the inside he was a wreck.
When the meeting ended and they went to the studio, Fitz pushed all the Tamia drama from his mind and focused on what was going on in front of him. He had been hired to do this job because everyone knew he was the best. He wasn't going to allow her to ruin his good reputation for being a professional and all around good, hardworking guy.
He would be returning home in two days and his mind was made up, he was going to tell Olivia the truth. Tamia was getting too bold.
He wasn't going to allow her to ruin his marriage.

Last day in New York
Once the final track was laid, everyone was beyond confident that the album/soundtrack would do great numbers along with the incredible movie. Fitz had the most amazing artists on the album and everyone knew it would top the charts. At the end of the session, of course the team was eager to go out and celebrate, but Fitz, he wasn't in the mood so he called it a night as everyone else went out to party. Including Cyrus.
While Fitz moped around in his hotel room, he tried thinking of a way to tell Olivia the truth without hurting her, but who was he kidding? This situation was going to crush her regardless of how gently he told her the truth. Her little sister was trying to sleep with him? Trying to get him to leave Olivia to be with her? Fitz couldn't believe it. He'd known Tamia since she was eleven years old. That's how young she'd been when he first met Olivia. When Olivia received her record deal and had to tell her family that the company would only sign her and not their entire girl group. Fitz remembered how Olivia and her sisters cried together, but they all said that they were happy for her, and in return Olivia told them that she was going to make it to the top and bring them along for the ride, and she did. Throughout the years, Fitz witnessed the strong, unbreakable bond the five of them had, but now as he sits in his hotel room, he's left to wonder how did a bond so unbreakable turn into this? He's left to wonder how he's going to tell his wife, the mother of his children, that her little sister is trying to sleep with him...trying to ruin their marriage...trying to break their unbreakable bond.
With shaky hands, Fitz pulled out his phone and dialed her number. He just needed to hear her voice. Tomorrow they'll be reunited, but he couldn't wait until tomorrow. He needed her now. His wish he had her physically.
"Hello? Hi, baby!" Olivia answered on the first ring with a smile. She's missed her man so much; communicating through text and calls wasn't enough. She couldn't wait until tomorrow to be reunited with him.
"Hi, baby." Fitz responded.
"I miss you so much, honey. I never want you to leave me again," Olivia said, then she laughed. "I sound ridiculous, don't I?"
Fitz chuckled and shook his head no. "No, no you don't sound ridiculous at all, baby. I feel the exact same way. I miss you too, and I never want to have to leave you again."
"Good!" Olivia smiled. "Because I'm not letting you."
Throughout their phone call Fitz could feel his heartbreaking on behalf of his sweet Livie. She didn't deserve this kind of betrayal from her own, blood related sister.
Can I really do this to her? Fitz thought to himself.

Fitz had been away for four days and his flight was landing any minute. The kids were excited, and so was Olivia.
"Dad's coming home today right," Nolan asked as as he sat on the couch. Olivia smiled, realizing that all the days Fitz had been gone Nolan was hardly around, but since he knew Fitz was on his way back, he was suddenly sticking around. She couldn't believe she'd been replaced her husband. "Yes," she said, finally answering him.
"Why don't you seem excited," Nolan asked. Olivia chuckled. "What? I am so excited, Nolan!" Olivia actually couldn't wait to see her man. She had plans that would rock his world the moment the children were asleep.

The second the front door opened, the kids rushed to it as Fitz walked inside. He was a bit startled by all of them standing there, but it felt good to know that he was missed.
"Daddy! You're home!" Katie squealed as she hugged her father around his waist.
"Hey, ladybug! Daddy missed you so much," he said, squatting to hug his big girl. When he stood back up, he turned to the guys. "Nolan, Asher, what's up, guys?" He smiled.
"Whats up, dad." Nolan greeted back.
As for Asher, he asked, "What'd you bring us?"
"Really? What did I bring you?" Fitz mocked as he laughed. "That's all you think about, huh? Well, guess what? I brought N-O-T-H-I-N-G." He spelled out. Olivia snickered as she watched the drama unfold from the couch. They were all nuts.
"But daddy!" Katie whined.
Fitz shook his head. "Wow, this is really pitiful." He chuckled. "Look in the brown luggage, ok? The stuff is in there. Hey, where's mom?"
"Mommy's right there with Lilo," Katie said, pointing into the living room at Olivia.
Fitz looked in the living room and Olivia waved at him. Fitz couldn't help but to throw his head back in laughter. He had been so distracted by the children that he didn't even notice her over there. He walked over to her just as she stood up to put Willow down in her bassinet.
Fitz wrapped his arms around her from behind and kissed her neck. Olivia grinned as she bit on her lower lip and let out a soft moan before turning around to face him. She stood on the tips of her toes and pressed her lips to his. She was so happy to see her husband and to have him back home, right where he belonged.
"Hi." Fitz smiled once they'd pulled apart.
"Hi." She smiled at him.
"Gross." Nolan groaned and fake gagged. Olivia and Fitz both looked over to see Nolan walk out of the kitchen and go up the stairs. Olivia shook her head and rolled her eyes at their son as Fitz laughed. "I missed you so much. Don't leave me again," Olivia said. Her focus was now back on her husband.
"I won't," Fitz said, and softly kissed her lips. "I won't, baby."
"Good. Now let's go upstairs. I need you."
Fitz looked at her with a playful confused expression. "You need me? In what way?"
Olivia grinned. "You know what way, Fitzgerald. But in case you need a little help figuring it out-" Olivia looked around the room making sure the kids were gone and Willow was still asleep. She smirked at him as she grabbed his hand, placing it in her shorts. "Holy fuck, Olivia." Fitz groaned. Olivia hadn't wore any underwear just for this moment. "You're soaked," he said. Olivia nodded her head then she spread my legs a little wider, giving him a little more access to touch her.
Without warning, Fitz slid two fingers inside of her causing her to gasp and grip his forearm. "Fitz!" She cried. "Fitz, baby, wait."
"Wait for what," he asked eagerly as he searched her face.
"Until tonight, honey. Let's wait until the kids are asleep. Fitz, I want you so bad. I missed having you inside of me."
"Why are you teasing me when you knew you were going to make me wait?" Fitz groaned.
Olivia smiled coyly. She shrugged and spoke in an innocent voice. "I just wanted you to feel how much I missed you and how much you turned me on just by walking through the door."
Fitz removed his hand from her shorts and he sucked his fingers, eyeing her seductively. Olivia grinned as she watched him taste her on his fingers. She was already dripping wet for him, but they would have to wait until tonight.
They went upstairs and Olivia helped him unpack his luggages. "Fitz, you brought all of this back for the kids?" Olivia laughed as she looked in the brown luggage.
Fitz shrugged. "Yeah."
"Goodness, baby. You spoil them too much."
"Hey, I just love my children."
Fitz went to take a shower and Olivia took his worn clothes to the laundry room so she could get them washed.
After getting Fitz's load of clothes going in the washer with Gain and Downy detergent, she went to check on Willow before going into the kitchen to prepare dinner for her family.

While Olivia was in the kitchen doing her thing, Fitz hung out with the kids in the game room while on FaceTime with Teddy. Felix was hanging out with his girlfriend and Fitz didn't want to disturb him. His first born was growing up.
Fitz has always been a stickler for spending quality time with his young ones whenever he could. That's why their bond was so tight. They knew they could rely on him to be there.
"Food's ready! Come eat!" Olivia shouted as she stood at the bottom of the stairs. Then, she suddenly remembered that her baby girl was asleep. "Shit. I forgot," she said to herself as she rushed to Willow as the infant began to cry. Olivia grabbed her baby girl from her bassinet as her cries become louder and tears poured from her eyes from being startled out of her sleep. Olivia caressed her back and kissed her forehead as she walked back into the kitchen. "I know, baby. Mommy's sorry. I'm so sorry. Did I scare you," Olivia asked. She was using her soft tone and Willow was beginning to calm down from her hearing her mother's soothing voice.
"What happened," Fitz asked as he came into the kitchen. Olivia turned around and looked at him. "I sorta forgot that she was sleeping in her bassinet in the living room and when I yelled I startled her awake."
"Aww." Fitz pouted then he reached for his baby girl and Olivia happily handed her to him. "Mommy scared you, kiddo? Daddy's going to get her for you, ok?" Fitz jokingly told his baby before glancing at Olivia and smiling. She couldn't help but to smile back at him. As Fitz continued talking, Willow's cries subsided and she was full on laughing at her daddy as he tickled her tummy. Like all babies, Willow had the cutest and contagious laugh ever and when you heard it, you couldn't help but to laugh too. A baby's laughter was the sweetest sound to a human's ears.
After laughing at her daughter's laughter, Olivia danced her way back over to the stove so she began fixing plates.
Fitz chuckled as he watched her moves. "Willow, your mama is crazy. Look at her. She knows she can't dance a lick." He teased.
Olivia laughed as she flipped him off. "Fitz, you're a hater."
"Mommy!" Katie yelled from the stairs making Olivia sigh. Though she knew she couldn't even get upset with Katie for shouting. She'd just did it herself, and woke up Willow.
"Come here, baby. Are you hungry?" Olivia called out. Katie came into the kitchen and nodded her head yes. "Ok." Olivia smiled before she leaned down and kissed her cheek, then she instructed her to sit at the table while she fixed her plate. When the boys finally came into the kitchen, she told them that they were old enough to make their own plates.
"And make sure you put vegetables on your plate!" She added.
After all the plates was fixed, everyone sat around the table ready to dive into the delicious meal and although Willow had a high chair, Fitz didn't want his baby to leave his arms just yet, so she was sitting at the table as well. They weren't the over the top religious family, but when it came to certain things, they always thanked the most high for their blessings. Once prayer was said over the food, they began to eat and chat about their day and time spent apart, like Fitz's time in New York. Honestly, he didn't want to discuss New York at all but he knew if he completely ignored their questions then Olivia would pick up on it, so he told them small details to satisfy.
"Liv, can she eat this," Fitz asked as he held up a piece of the shredded chicken that he wanted to give to Lilo.
"Yes. If you want, you can chew it up a bit then give it to her too," Olivia said. They were beginning to add a little table food to the baby's diet. Once Fitz chewed the chicken, he feed some of it to his daughter and they watched her reaction. Naturally, her face turned into a frown as her tastebuds tried to decipher this new taste then her pupils dilated and she quickly reached her hand into Fitz's plate wanting more, making her parents and siblings laugh.
"Willow really likes it." Katie giggled.
"But chewing up her food? That was so gross." Asher frowned.
"Well, I did it for you and you turned out just fine." Olivia chuckled before glancing down at his plate. "Where are you vegetables?"
"You should've just ate in silence." Nolan laughed at his little brother. Eating vegetables wasn't a problem for him. He loved them.
"Mama, I don't like vegetables."
"You haven't even tried them, Ash. It's seasoned differently."
"I know I won't like them."
"Asher Jay Grant, please get up and put some vegetables on your plate." She told her son, then she looked over at Fitz to back her up.
"Asher, listen to your mother and just put some vegetables on your plate, son." Fitz said with authority. With a sigh, Asher pushed himself up from his seat with his plate in hand to do as he was told. "And if you don't like it, we're not going to force you to eat, but at least try, bud."
Olivia smiled triumphantly.
"I don't like it!" Katie said, poking the vegetables on her plate.
"You only have two on your plate. At least eat one," Olivia said, trying to be reasonable.
Katie shook her head. "But it's nasty! I don't want to eat it."
Fitz sighed as the complaining continued. "When your mother decides to stop cooking dinner for us, I don't want to hear any complaints from the two of you." Fitz pointed at Asher and Katie.
Olivia laughed. "Oh god, I would love to stop! Can I make the decision to stop right now?" She playfully begged.
"Sure, babe. You and I can afford it. We have McDonald's money," Fitz said. He made sure to put emphasis on "we". Nolan groaned and said, "Hey, what about me! I'm eating everything mom cooked!" making Olivia laugh.
Asher and Katie eventually ate their vegetables and turns out, Asher actually liked it but he certainly wasn't going to tell his parents that; not today. When dinner was over, the children were put on dish duty as Olivia and Fitz headed upstairs to their bedroom with Willow still attached to her dad's hip.
She was such a daddy's girl. Willow wouldn't let anyone else hold her once she got in her daddy's arms.
"Thanks a lot, Lilo," Olivia said as she crawled into bed with Willow and Fitz. "Why'd you say that, babe," Fitz asked as he looked at her.
"Fitz, look at where she's at. She's all on my man."
"Aw, someone sounds a bit jealous?" Fitz teased. Olivia giggled as she shrugged her shoulders and snuggled up against him. "Hell, I am jealous. I wanted some d-i-c-k tonight."
Fitz laughed out loud and shook his head. "Talking like that is the exact reason she's here now. Are you ready for another one?"
"If I say yes, will you put her in her own room?"
Fitz and Olivia played with Willow all night. They tried tiring the little girl out, but she just wouldn't go to sleep and when she finally did, it was one in the morning and Fitz and Olivia were both too worn out to do anything besides sleep.
"Remind me to never let her take a long nap again when we want to have sex." Olivia yawned. Fitz chuckled as he laid their now sleeping baby girl between them. "Believe me, I will. Goodnight, Livie. I love you."
"I love you too, babe. I'm happy you're home."
Fair warning, the next chapter the drama will return. I hope you enjoyed the little reunion.
