Olivia's hands were shaking so much that she was having trouble opening the test box. She took it out of the box, looked at it for a few seconds and got up the courage to do the first test... she drank so much water and all she could think about was peeing. She took the first test, waited a few minutes for it to take effect.. meanwhile she paced around the bathroom. Olivia closed her eyes, held the test in her hands and opened her eyes, now there was no running away, she had to deal with the truth... positive.
Olivia began to open all the boxes, taking one test after another... she took one, two, three, four... and they all gave the same result, positive. it's real, she's pregnant, she has Fitz's baby growing in her belly and she doesn't know what to do about it. she didn't plan to be a mother at this time. Olivia looked in the mirror and began to touch her belly...
Then she threw all the boxes away so Fitz wouldn't find them and picked up her cell phone to call Maya.
"Liv? I've been waiting for your call. Did you take the test?" Maya was already anxiously waiting for Olivia to call.
"I did four tests, Mom... and they were all positive," she said, completely flustered and not knowing what to do.
"Liv, pregnancy isn't the end of the world... you'll become a mother... if you want to. but you have another option too. I won't judge you, whatever choice you make, I'll support you"
"I'm not ready to be a mother, Fitz isn't ready to be a father... but at the same time, I feel like keeping the baby. I'm confused" she said in a shaky voice.
"You need to think carefully before you make any decisions... it's an important decision. but if you decide to keep the baby, know that it will be an incredible experience, Liv." Maya's support is making all the difference in keeping her safe and calm.
"Ok... I'll think about it... can I ask you something? don't tell my dad anything yet. I need time to tell him."
"All right, it's my secret and yours. I love you" said Maya and she hung up.
Fitz was worried about Olivia, so he had two work meetings and then left for home...
She heard the noise of his car arriving and became even more nervous and anxious... she put on a very large white shirt of his, as Olivia is small, the shirt covered a large part of her body, all she didn't need was for him to be aroused by her body today... but it didn't work out as she imagined. Fitz opened the door, saw her sitting on the sofa, went over to her and kissed her on the lips... "I missed you so much at work today. Are you better, baby?" he asked.
"I'm fine," she said softly and got up from the sofa.
"I had two boring work meetings today, I just wanted to get home and meet my beautiful girlfriend" he said, as he pulled her body closer to his. he tried to put his hand under her shirt and squeeze her breast, but she pushed his hand away.
Fitz frowned, "What is it, Liv? I can't touch you anymore?"
She didn't answer... he tried again to touch her body, this time he tried to squeeze her ass and she pulled away.
"Olivia, what's going on? you've been weird with me since yesterday... you don't want to have sex with me anymore, you're running away from me, you won't let me touch your body anymore... what's going on?" he was really confused.
While he was talking, she felt like throwing up again... she put her hand over her mouth and ran to the bathroom. Fitz went after her...
Olivia threw up, went to the tap and washed her face... he took the towel and gave it to her to dry her face.
"I'm taking you to hospital," he said.
"No, it's just my stomach, I'm not ill. I just want to be quiet... and alone" she said.
"If you're not sick, why don't you want to have sex with me anymore?" he asked.
"All that matters to you... is having sex? nothing more than that?" she began to raise her voice.
"Are you fighting with me because I want to have sex with my own girlfriend?" he couldn't understand anything else she was saying.
"That's obviously not the point... I'm just mentally exhausted and I need silence... I don't need sex now... I need silence" she shouted.
"Do you have anything to say to me? If you have anything to say to me... just say it?" he asked, trying not to raise his voice with her.
"My period is late, I'm vomiting, my breasts are bigger... what do you think it is? don't you really know? or are you pretending you don't?" she said looking straight into his eyes.
At that moment he began to piece together all the information in his head, he thought, he thought... and came to the conclusion of the obvious. he hadn't imagined that it could be pregnancy, because she had assured him that she was taking contraception. this came as a shock to him...
"Are you trying to tell me that... you... that's what I'm thinking?" Fitz stuttered to ask that question.
"I'm pregnant" she felt immense relief at being able to tell him the truth.
"Are you sure?" his heart was racing.
"I've done four tests and they've all come back positive... what do you think?" She had her hands shaking.
"How did that happen? you assured me you were taking contraceptive" he raised his voice a little.
"I know... I forgot... just once, I only forgot once"
"Olivia, you couldn't have forgotten... once is enough for a pregnancy... you couldn't" he got nervous and raised his voice with her.
She got angry when she noticed him raising his voice... "Don't stand there judging me, like I'm the only one to blame. I didn't make this baby alone, you and I made this baby together"
"I don't want to be a father... I've already told you that," he shouted.
"It's a bit late for you to say that..." she shouted back.
Fitz began to have a lot of bad memories of his childhood, of his father... he feels that he can't be a good father, that he's just like his father, he feels that he's going to fail as a father.
"I need to drive, I need to go out, I need to..." he just said that and drove off... he got in his car and started driving aimlessly. Vincent has already tried to take Fitz to therapy once, but he refused to go... so his triggers always come back.
She got so angry with him... her hormones are in full swing and she started crying a lot.
Jake was talking to Huck on the phone.
"When are you coming?" Jake asked.
"I told you I'm not coming," Huck laughed.
"I need you here... you're the best hacker I know... this town here, it's much better than ours. we can make good money"
"How are you getting money to stay in this town? if you don't work..."
"My mom keeps sending me money and now I've got a place to live for free... I'm fucking Olivia's redheaded friend" Jake laughed.
"Don't you get tired of chasing Olivia? Fine... I'll get my car and drive to you... maybe I'll get a good job in this town" said Huck.
"I already told you where the source of the money is... all roads lead to Olivia"
"I already told you that I'm not going to do anything to hurt Olivia." Whenever Jake went missing and got into trouble, while Olivia was still his girlfriend, she had good conversations with Huck.
Abby arrived and Jake hung up the phone.
"Who were you talking to?" she asked.
"A friend... Huck his name. he wants to look for work here... he's from my hometown. do you mind if he stays here at your place for a while? it's just until he gets a job" Jake knows how to manipulate her, he kissed her mouth, caressed her... while he made the request.
"I don't know... I don't know him"
Jake began to remove her blouse... "You said you were lonely. What's better than a full house? Huck is a great guy... you'll like him"
Abby's parents are dead, she doesn't have many friends. she is so lonely and Jake has realized what her weakness is, so he's feeding her every day. since Olivia moved in with Fitz, she's sunk deeper and deeper into loneliness.
Fitz likes to drive, whenever he's at a loss for what to do, he goes out to drive and think... but Olivia was very angry with him for going out to drive and running away from the conversation about the baby.
Hours later…
He drove for a long time, then he came home... and immediately filled his glass with whisky.
Olivia was standing on the stairs, arms crossed and staring at him, while he sipped his whisky.
"So that's it... I tell you I'm pregnant, that you're going to be a father and all you can do is go out driving and then drink whisky? seriously... Fitz?" she was so angry with him.
"I'm just trying to deal with everything you've told me," he said, as he took another sip of his whisky.
"You're running away, that's what you're doing. But don't worry... maybe I'll have an abortion" she shouted and went upstairs.
Olivia went to the old room she used to sleep in when she was still his submissive. She didn't want to sleep in the same bed as him today...
He came up behind her and started banging on the door... "Olivia, you're being childish. Open the door"
"I don't want to sleep with you tonight, you can sleep alone" she shouted.
"Olivia"
"Good night, Fitz"
He sat behind the bedroom door and waited for her to open it... when he realized that she really wasn't going to open it, he went into the bedroom and slept alone.
