"What now?"

Olivia sat in her car, head in her hands as she contemplates where she goes from here. At 28 years old she was a rising star at her law firm. She had a great house, friends and frustrating but involved overprotective parents.

Olivia was raised in a very religious household. She was the definition of good girl. Always followed rules, never once talked back to her parents and never stepped out of line. There was never a broken curfew and certainly weren't any boyfriends. That was until she started college. Olivia was raised in Georgia but left home to attend Yale. She enjoyed her new found freedom. It didn't take long before she made friends and built a social life for herself, without the overbearing supervision of her parents. Olivia loved her parents but it was nice to spread her wings and find herself.

The closest of those friends was Fitzgerald Grant, but everyone called him Fitz. He was funny, supportive, protective and if she was honest definitely easy on the eyes. He was tall, tan, and muscular with adorable curls and the bluest eyes. Fitz had grown up in California and left home to attend Yale. He was a surfer boy and scholar all rolled into one. He was one of the smartest people she knew. The two had so much in common they became inseparable quickly. As Olivia explored all that life away from overbearing parents had to offer, Fitz was there to protect her and clean up her messes. It's not that she was an alcoholic or promiscuous but she did enjoy nights out drinking and she wasn't a saint. She hooked up with guys here and there, even had a semi serious relationship or two. Obviously, those fizzled out but Fitz was always there when she needed him. Although they definitely found the other attractive, they had never pursued anything romantic, in fact they often played wing man for each other.

Fitz was the only other friend from their group to attend law school, which they both decided once again to attend Yale. They continued to bond over their studies and preparations for the bar. They often tested the other's knowledge and debated regularly. It was nice to have someone to go through the experience with. They always pushed each other harder than anyone else and they both benefited from it immensely. Law school was no joke, and although they could have done it without the other, they both seriously doubted they would have enjoyed it or done as well as they had without doing it together. After graduation, they both found jobs at well known law firms and to this day were very close. Olivia and Fitz were both rising through the ranks faster than most. They often argued over who was the better attorney and who would make partner at their respective firm first.

She lays her forehead on the steering wheel, trying to clear her head which was nearly impossible. Her mind drifted back to the night a little over a month ago when she had been out celebrating her friend Abby's promotion at work. After dinner at a local hotspot, they all decided to go dancing. Olivia was having a great time, she had a nice buzz and the music was great. She rarely left the dance floor, mostly just to get a new cocktail and she was right back in the thick of things. The atmosphere was amazing, the music was perfect and she was truly having a blast. Sometime in the night Olivia picked up a dance partner. He was cute, not gorgeous or anything but cute. His dance moves were acceptable at best but the drinks helped her to look past it. He made her laugh and they danced to song after song, singing along at the top of their lungs. More sensual songs led to the pair grinding on each other, sometimes slow others fast. In her alcohol fueled state, she began to intentionally move along the man's now hard cock. She was enjoying teasing him and if she was honest she liked the reaction she was getting. When the announcement for last call was made, the stranger she now knew as Jake leaned down and whispered in her ear.

"Come home with me.

After a few seconds Olivia thought what the hell, it's been a while. He's cute and I could stand to get laid. "Okay." she grinned and they left hand in hand after she shot her friends a text, letting them know she was leaving. The Uber ride to Jake's place was full of sloppy kisses and wandering hands. Once they reached their destination, Jake pulled her into his apartment and quickly picked up where they left off in the car. It wasn't long before they were between the sheets, seeking the mutual high only sex can bring.

After a night of what could be described as mediocre at best sex, Olivia quietly snuck out of his apartment and called an Uber to take her home. She hadn't thought of that night again until two days ago. Olivia had been sick for a few days and she began to get worried. Fitz had convinced her to go to the doctor to get checked out. What she wasn't expecting was for the doctor to inform her that she was 5 weeks pregnant.

Olivia hadn't been with anyone but Jake in over six months, so there was no doubt who the father was. Which is how she ended up here. She had come back to Jake's place to tell him. She didn't have his phone number or last name, just where he lived since she had been there before.

To say Jake was not happy was an understatement. He accused Olivia of trying to trap him because he had money. Which she reminded him she knows nothing about him. She wasn't there asking for anything, she just felt he had the right to know he would soon be a father because she was keeping the baby. Jake was adamant that he wanted no part in being a father. Defeated Olivia informed him that once the baby was born she would have paperwork drawn up to release him of his parental burden and rights. Without another word she left.

Which is where she still sits. In her car, in Jake's apartment complex. She had yet to tell anyone about the pregnancy, not even Fitz. After her appointment she told him it was a virus and she would get over it eventually. Now she sat alone in her car, consumed with thoughts of her unborn child and what to do now. A moment later, she knew she needed to talk, she dialed the one person she wanted to tell about the baby. After only one ring he answered.

"Hey Livvie, feeling better?"

Guilt for lying washed over her. "Not really. Can I come over? I need someone to talk to." She states flatly.

"You know you're always welcome, I don't know why you aren't here already. I'll see you in a few."

"Okay. See you" she slowly lowers her phone from her ear and pulls out of the parking lot. It wasn't a far drive but she used the time to figure out how to tell her best friend about the baby. She didn't think Fitz would judge her but she also didn't want to disappoint him. This definitely wasn't something she saw in her near future and she obviously had never planned on doing it alone, but life has a funny way of changing our best laid plans.

She quietly knocked on his door, she was emotionally spent and didn't have the energy for much more. The door opened within seconds and she was greeted with his signature crooked smile.

"Hi."

"Hi." she smiled back.

As she enters his house, Fitz wraps his arm around her and he walks with her to his living room. Knowing Olivia better than anyone, he instantly knows something big is up, she isn't the type to be overly emotional or easily rattled. From the look on her face she was both. They settle into the couch and he wraps his arm around her again. He will never know how much she needed him right now and something as little as an arm around her was bringing a peace she desperately needed in this moment.

"Want to tell me what is bothering you, Livvie?" He asks.

"I'm pregnant." she barely gets out in a whisper so low he barely hears and tears begin to fall from her eyes.

"You're pregnant?" He is honestly shocked. All Olivia can do is nod in response.

"Am I allowed to ask who the father is?"

"His name is Jake, it was a one night stand. Hell, I don't even know his last name. I just left telling him about the baby. He doesn't want any part of it. I told him I would have the papers for him to sign over his rights when the baby is born" she hiccups as tears continue to fall.

"Are you okay?"

"I am, I'm okay. I'm scared out of my mind. I mean, I am going to be a mother. A single mother at that. My child will be the product of a one night stand. God." she buries her face in her hands.

"Hey, hey, hey. You're not in this alone. Livvie, I will help you in ANY way I can. You're my best friend in the world and you're pregnant with my little niece or nephew. As far as the one night stand thing goes, who cares. You are going to be a mom Livvie! God, I hope its a boy. I would hate to have two of you running around." He teases as he kisses her head. "It's going to be okay Livvie. In fact it's going to be great. I know it. You'll be an amazing mother. This baby is lucky."

For the first time since she left the doctors' office, Olivia is happy. She is scared but happy. Fitz is right, this is going to be great. "Holy shit, I'm going to be a mom Fitz!" a thousand watt smile spreads across her face. In the next second her face drops, "Urg how am I going to tell my parents? They are going to disown me."

"You're 28 years old, you're a grown woman. They need to accept this."

"You and I know that but all they will see is premarital sex and a bastard baby."

"I will go with you, we can take a weekend trip down and visit. You can tell them in person."

"You want to go with me?" She asks.

"If there is even a chance they will treat you badly over this, Uncle Fitzy will be there. I just told you you're not alone."

She laughs at his new self appointed title "Uncle Fitzy huh?" He nods with a goofy grin "So we are in this together?"

"We are in this together. If we can get through Yale Law together, I'm sure we can handle an adorable little Livvie." he pulls her in tighter. He makes a promise to himself in this moment that his best friend will have all the support she needs and her baby will never suffer from a lack of father figure in it's life. She is the most important person in his life and now so is her child.

They spend the rest of the night eating take out Chinese and watching trashy reality tv. Fitz helps her come up with a to do list for the baby. Starting with setting up an OB appointment. Olivia is thankful that she has Fitz. He's her rock, always has been. She already knows how her family will react to her news and at the end of the day, he will be all she has left. And if she was really honest, she knows he's all she really needs anyway. From day one, he has been the one person to truly understand her and her him. As much as Fitz thinks the baby is lucky to have her for a mother, she knows the baby is equally lucky to have him as an uncle.

AN: NEW STORY EEK! I promise Jake will not be in the story much AT ALL, I despise his existence. He will forever be jerk in my stories but never around very long. I hope you all like it though! I'm excited about it so that is all that really matters, I just hope it is also something for others enjoy.
