It was now June, today, Olivia Pope was finally graduating Harvard Law.
Fitz and Eli drove to Massachusetts from DC, now sitting in the crowd, waiting for the graduation to start. Fitz was more nervous than Eli, Eli was emotional, trying not to cry, wishing Maya was here to see her baby girl walk across the stage for the second time.
Olivia sat in the front, where the stage was, rubbing her very pregnant belly and eating a snack, she was now seven months pregnant and her back was killing her. She didn't want her pain to ruin the special day so she just told everyone that she was okay, excited and nervous but okay. She cleaned herself off before they started calling names, she was kinda in the middle since her last name started with a 'P'.
After waiting for a little while, her name was finally the next to be called, she stood at the little steps at the stage, taking a deep breath as she grew nervous, 'maybe it's hormones', she told herself. She looked up as her name was called, "Olivia Pope. Graduating with Master of Laws", the crowd clapped softly.
She stepped up the three steps, walking towards one of the staff members. Eli and Fitz smiled widely, standing up and clapping, cheering loudly, she looked up at them and smiled widely, her nervous disappearing as she looked into the eyes of her boyfriend, blushing softly and collecting her degree, shaking the hands of her teachers and the staff members, skipping Professor Ballard on purpose before stepping off the stage, taking her seat again.
Eli and Fitz sat back down once Liv got off the stage, Fitz smiling widely, so proud of his love, wanting to run down there and hug her tightly.
They finally finished calling the rest of the students, Liv grabbed her cap off her head and tossed it into the air with the rest of the college students, cheering and clapping coming from the crowd of family members. Liv grabbed her cap and put it back on her head before standing up, trying to find her way towards her boyfriend and father.
Eli and Fitz stood up, walking down the bleacher stairs, looking around for Liv, which wasn't hard since her stomach was big and she had an adorable little wobble walk. Liv smiled at the two, the men returning the smiles. Liv walked up to them, pulling the tall men into her arms, hugging them tightly which surprised them but quickly hugged her back.
"We're so proud of you Livvie.", Fitz said, kissing Liv's cheek softly, "So proud. And so is your mother.", Eli said, sniffling as he hugged his beautiful daughter, Liv smiled, tearing up at the talk of her mother and the sweet words from her boyfriend. "Thank you guys so much. I love you both.", she sniffled and pulled away, carefully wiping her eyes, "We love you too.", Eli said, smiling and rubbing Liv's arm softly.
Liv turned around at the sound of her name being called, meeting the eyes of her best friends, Abby, Huck, Harrison, Quinn, and Stephan. They all smiled and waved at the pregnant glowing women, Liv, returning a smile and waving at the group of friends before turning back to her father and boyfriend, "Go ahead, have fun with them.", Fitz encouraged, she shook her head, "No, no, it's okay, we partied already last night.", she half joked, the three of them laughing softly.
Olivia said 'goodbye' to her friends before leaving the graduation with Fitz and her dad, getting in the car with Fitz as they followed behind Eli's car, deciding to meet up at a restaurant to celebrate. They soon got to this kinda fancy restaurant, getting their seats and ordering their food. Fitz ordered a steak with a glass of scotch, Eli ordering baked potatoes with a glass of red wine, and Liv ordering a plate of fries and steak with a glass of water.
After eating dinner and ordering dessert, they decided to head to the hotel where Fitz and Eli were staying, too sleepy to drive back home tonight so they would just do it tomorrow afternoon. The couple said their 'goodbyes' to Eli before walking to Fitz's room, pulling the cardkey out his pocket and unlocking the door, opening it and allowing Liv to enter first, he walked in after her, the door closing behind them.
Liv groaned exhaustingly as she sat on the bed, leaning back on her hands, feeling completely drained and hurting from the heavy kicks of the twins in her belly.
They found out they were pregnant with twins at their second ultrasound when Liv was three months pregnant. The second baby was hiding behind the first baby at the first ultrasound, which is common in early pregnancies with twins.
Fitz walked over to Liv, kneeling down and taking off her sandals, "Relax baby.", he said softly, rubbing and massaging her swollen feet softly, she sighed and laid back, rubbing her large stomach slowly, "I'm so tired.", he frowned, hating seeing Liv so tired and in pain, "I know baby. You did amazing today, I'm so proud of you.", he kissed her thigh softly, she smiled and blushed softly, leaning up a little and looking down at him, "You're the best boyfriend ever.", he smiled at her, "I try my best.", "And you're doing such a good job, baby.".
He stood up, leaning over her and kissing her softly, "I love you Livvie.", he looked lovingly into her chocolate eyes, she smiled softly, tilting her head a little to the side, "I love you too.", he smiled like an idiot, kissing her nose and standing up straight.
Fitz undressed Liv carefully, taking off her graduation gown and her black dress, leaving her in her bra and panties, he took off her bra carefully, knowing how sore her breast were, he helped her lay down carefully, pulling the cover over her before getting undressed himself, he turned off the lights and turned on the TV, just putting on a random show and laying next to his sleepy girlfriend, getting under the covers and cuddling Liv from the back, rubbing her pregnant belly, soothing the bump gently.
Liv carefully turned around, facing Fitz, looking up at him, her bare chest against his, he moved a strand of hair behind her ear, kissing her forehead, she laid her head on his chest, closing her eyes and grabbing his hand, intertwining their fingers as he held her in his arms, "Two months and thirteen more days.", he said softly, counting the days until the twins' due date, which was August 28th.
Liv smiled at Fitz's cuteness, "Two months and thirteen more days.", she repeated in a whisper, kissing Fitz's chest and snuggling up to him, falling asleep slowly with a smile on her ethereal face, Fitz smiled to himself happily, rubbing Liv's baby bump, delicately, falling asleep, thinking about the day the twins will finally be born into this beautiful world.
