CHAPTER 5 - DECISIONS

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A/N: Well, here we are…will Fitz choose Liv? Will Tony play a big part in that choice? Will Fitz choose Tony? Can Olivia handle it if it does? Deception creeps around the corner. Someone will deceive Fitz, that he trusts. Who will it be? Fitz love is being tested in more ways than one and so is Olivia's. Let get started so we can find out.

Happy Reading!

Fitz sits pondering everything Liv said to him, and his life right now. What was he to do? Being an only child played it big part in his life. He just found out just a short time ago that Tony was his uncle. He chose Olivia to be his wife and now they had children. His uncle will need him now that he was down. Olivia needed him as her husband and the father to their children. He hated that he had to choose. He needed Liv to understand his position in the situation.

Making his way to their shared bedroom in her parent's home, he sees Liv sitting on the side of the bed. "Livvie." He calls out as he enters the room. "I need to go handle this business with Giulia and once that done, we can sit down and talk more. Please baby don't shut me out. I'm trying to communicate with you right now. I need you to trust me understand my position here."

Liv looks up at him "Fine Fitz. We can talk when you get back. Go handle what needs to be taken care of. I will be here when you figure out that other shit you got going on." Liv was not about to stress over something she had no control over. Giulia was before her and if her son was Fitz's then they would figure out how to move forward with another child added to the equation. That she was ready to accept, but this mess with Tony and the mob she was not willing to negotiate or put her family in danger for anyone, not even her husband.

"Livvie really? Come on now. I've only had my uncle in my life knowingly for just a short time. I need to be there for him."

Liv eyes tightened. The nerve of him. Hell, she had been in his life the same damn amount of time, but yet here they were comparing apples and oranges when they both come from the same damn orphanage but were clearly two different fruits. Her mind yelled for her to let him have it, but instead she spared his feelings. "Fine Fitz. Like I said do what you feel to do but know this one thing for sure. I will not be married to the mob. You do what you have to do, and I will do the same." With that she walked swiftly into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her before the sound of the lock was penetrating Fitz ears.

The sound of music came on and penetrated through the door. 'Bobby Womack, If You Think You're Lonely Now' sending Fitz a unclear message of where she stood when it came to his decision. He didn't know if the words were for him or message sublimely being sang to her.

Deciding to leave well enough alone he walks out of the bedroom and heads to his waiting driver and head back to the hotel.

Olivia on the other hand has broken down at the words of the song that magically played as she hit the power button. The pain suddenly penetrating her soul, was this a message to her or to Fitz? She was a believer in God and how the Universe sometime gave them signs and signals about decision in their life. She was conflicted and confused. Choosing between the love of her children and the love of her husband and marriage was something she was not prepared for.

As she cried in the shower, she also prayed for direction and understanding. She truly needed Gods help and guidance with her dilemma. After finishing her shower, she laid down and cried herself to sleep in hopes that that understanding came by the time she woke up.

Fitz car pulls up to the hotel. He's greeted by the staff but do not get out of the car. He instead calls his security to bring Giulia down. After a few minutes of waiting Giulia slide inside of the car with Franky held tightly to her chest. Fitz takes a moment as he held his hand up to halt all movement from his security team. "Hand me your car keys." He calmly requests from Giulia." Reaching into her purse she locates her keys and hands them to him. He then hands them to one of his security men. "Get the child seat from her car." Security acknowledges his request and walks off.

While they waited Giulia thanks Fitz for thinking of her son's safety. He nods but doesn't speak. Security returns with the child car seat and secures it inside of the SUV next to Giulia. Once secure Giulia places Franky in the seat without a fuss. Franky big blue eyes watched Fitz every move, even looking around his mother as she strapped him in as all children do in the presence of strangers. Fitz was reserve as he took in the child's features. There were many Grant similarities that couldn't be denied. He wondered if the child had the Grant crooked smiles. Without notice Fitz did the peek-a-boo game with him causing him to smile. Yep, he had the same crooked smile of all the Grant/Grantello men.

Damn.

MEANWHILE…BACK IN ITALY…

Tony laid awake waiting on his wife's return. He was given the news of his condition. The doctor's express the need to aggressively treat his cancer. He needed Fitz to step in for him. He couldn't allow his position to be taken from him. Being a mob boss was his life. He worked too hard to gain this position and was not ready or willing to give it up just yet.

He looks down at his ringing phone as the screen reads inside man flashes across the screen. "Yes."

"We have two problems." The voice shares

"What's the 1st one?"

"He brought Giulia to the US. We can't control the DNA results."

"Fucking hell! I don't have connections there. Do you know where he will go for the test?"

"No. He's only giving out his destination after we are in the car. I have no idea where we are going until he is in route to the location."

"How long have you been back there? Why am I just now hearing this from you?" Tony presses

"I had to act normal. Fitz has been keeping me and the guys close. He has us watching each other. The other guards are watching me as I watch them. He only allows Diego to keep an eye on Olivia when he's away. You know Diego is dangerous. If he gets wind of anything he will eliminate me and then come for you and anyone else, he fills has become a threat."

"I thought you were a killer. Are you afraid of Diego? Should I have not trusted you to do the job?" The voice doesn't respond. "Well, are you!" Tony yells causing his heart rate to beat faster.

"I'm not afraid of anyone. I'm the best at what I do." The voice iterates

"Then act like it. You came to me for a job. You said you didn't want to work in the US. If you eat, sleep and breath this way of life as you stated, then get the job done. Since you can't stop the DNA test, get rid of Olivia. Without her he will have no reason to not give me what I need. I will contact him and get him back here. My plane will be available to get you back to the US and back to Italy without him noticing. Ask for the day off to spend time with a woman. I will take care of the rest once you all are back here."

"Done."

"And Tom? Remember you came to me and asked to be part of my team. This will prove your loyalty." Without responding to Tony's declaration, Tom hangs up.

Tom looks around as he sits in the SUV waiting for Fitz and Giulia's return making sure none of the other security men are watching him. The tent on the windows gave him cover but paranoia was setting in, and rightfully so. He looks at Mark standing guard at the entryway of the clinic and smiles to himself. Twenty minutes later Fitz, Giulia holding Franky reenters the SUV. Mark takes up his seat in the front after securing Franky in the child seat Fitz instructs Tony to go back to the hotel.

"What do you think the results will be?" He questions. Giulia shrugs her shoulders "It can be either or. I strongly believe he's Jake's but seeing you and him in the same space makes me unsure."

"Why?" Fitz continues

"Well for one, you only allowed me to perform Felicio most times, and you always pulled out when we did go further. We were sleeping together for over two years. I've never gotten pregnant, so…"

"You assumed he was Jake's." Fitz finishes the statement. She nods "Why didn't you come to me about him?"

"Jake worked for you Fitz. He was you right hand. He knew I was sifting money from you. We both know how you handled betrayal. I was scared." She lied but yet told the truth.

Fitz pondered her explanation before nodding in understanding as they pulled up to the hotel. "Giulia." Fitz called stopping Giulia in her tracks as she unbuckled Franky looking up at him. "He has a very strong resemblance to the Grant men. I have a feeling he's mines. If I'm correct my wife and I will make sure you both are taken care of. You don't have to live in fear of me, even if he is not my son."

Giulia immediately dropped her eyes as the guilt of what she was doing pushed it way to the for front of her conscious. She could only hope Tony kept his word and secured the DNA results. A part of her wanted to come clean but her fear of Tony was greater than her fear of Fitz, so she kept quiet. "Thank you. I appreciate you saying that." Fitz nods again as he watches her get out of the car. "Take me home." He orders Tom once Mark was out of site with Giulia walking in front of him with Franky.

Olivia was sitting on the floor playing roll the ball with the twins when Fitz walked in. She looked up at him as he set down to join them. He leaned in to kiss her on the forehead then did the same with the twins.

Liv knew then he was feeling stressed. "The results will be available in two weeks. Until then Giulia is staying at the Fitz on Broadway under my security team. Liv gives him a small smile followed by a small breath. "Livvie? I need to know how you feel about all of this. Are we…" He interrupted by his ringing phone in his jacket pocket. He sighs in frustration until he sees the caller id. "Hello?'

"Hi nephew."
