Fitz tried to sleep and couldn't, he stayed up all night thinking about the fact that he's going to be a father, it's real, the woman he loves is pregnant and he's going to be a father, he's going to have to deal with it.

The old Fitz would have handled this situation differently, he would have offered her a large sum of money to have an abortion or for her to raise the baby far away from him. But the new man he has become, the man who has fallen in love with Olivia, he can't think of the possibility of offering her money to have an abortion or to raise the baby away from him, because he knows it would hurt her feelings deeply, in a way that she would never forgive him for. it's the first time he has fallen in love, that he loves someone so much and he doesn't know how to deal with his trauma without it hurting Olivia's feelings.

The next day she woke up, went downstairs and walked around the garden... she needed to make one of the hardest decisions of her life. abort or keep the baby?

she sat on the edge of the pool, dangling her feet in the water and rubbing her belly. then she started talking to the baby... "You're still so small, you don't understand anything I'm saying. I'm sorry for all this confusion... but you can be sure that your father and I made you with love, lots of love" she was smiling.

Olivia closed her eyes and began to imagine the little baby... with the exact blend of her and Fitz's skin tones.. her cheeks, her little mouth and her father's blue eyes.

Fitz woke up, went downstairs and started looking for her. then he remembered how she likes to stay in the garden, when she's pensive, he stood at a distance, watching her touch her belly. he walked and approached her...

"Hi" he said. she looked at him and stood up... "Hi" she replied.

"How are you feeling? Are you all right?" he asked.

"I'm fine... I'm just throwing up a lot, but that's normal" she replied.

"I didn't want to fight with you, but... I can't be a father and I don't know how to be a father. I can't," he said, trying to hold back his tears.

"So... it's your choice... you don't want our baby?" she plucked up the courage to ask the question.

"I don't want our baby to have a father who can't be a real father... I don't want our daughter or our son... to grow up with traumas... just like I did. I don't want that" the tears were starting to stream down his face…

"Who told you that you can't be a good father?"

"I know that... I'm his son... and everything he taught me was wrong. what can I teach our baby when she or he grows up?" his voice was shaky.

"I know about your traumas, I know about all this... that's why I made this decision. I'm going to my parents' house, I'm going to stay away for a while, we need this time..." she took a deep breath as she said it.

"Are you breaking up with me?"

"No, I mean... I thought about having an abortion, last night I was determined to have an abortion. but I thought about it all night and then... I want to keep our baby" she said, running her hand over her belly, her hands trembling.

He remained silent, he didn't know the right words to use and so he let her speak...

"I'm full of hormones, because of the pregnancy... if I stay here now, we'll just fight and fight. I don't want that... I'll give you some time and then you'll make your final choice. you know where to find me..." she said confident that she was doing the right thing.

"I love you so much, Liv..." he moved closer to her and touched her face.

"I love you too... but this is what's best for us right now."

"If you think that's best, fine. You can go by helicopter..." he said.

"No, I'd rather drive... I like driving" she said.

"Liv, you're pregnant and you want to drive for hours on your own? you're so stubborn" he said, all concerned for her.

"Pregnancy isn't a disease, Fitz... I can drive, it's fine"

"Have you been to the doctor?" he asked.

"I'm going to my mother's gynecologist... then I'm going to do all the tests to find out how I and the baby are doing," she said.

Fitz was so sad to hear her say she's leaving again, but he knows they need this... he needs to make a choice, because Olivia has already made her choice.

LATER

While Olivia drove to her hometown, Huck drove to Olivia's new town. Jake gave him the address of Abby's house and then he knocked on the door...

"Hi, I'm Huck... did Jake tell you about me?" he said a little embarrassed.

"Yes... he said. come in... Jake's not in, in fact, I don't know where he is, he's been gone for hours" said Abby.

Huck already imagines the things Jake must be doing and he was right... Jake was using drugs and fucking prostitutes. while leaving Abby alone and sad, she keeps sending messages trying to talk to Olivia again, but Olivia is dealing with her own problems and is not yet ready to forgive Abby.

Abby and Huck talked for a long time…

"Jake is taking a while," she said.

"If I can give you one piece of advice... Jake is my friend, but I don't agree with most of the things he does, I try to advise him, but it doesn't work. if I can give you one piece of advice about him... don't get your hopes up about him, he'll let you down " Huck was honest with her. even though she only met Huck a few hours ago, her intuition tells her that he's a good person.

Fitz hasn't gone to work, he can't think of anything else... he's called her so many times to see if she's arrived safely at her parents' house and she's said yes.

Olivia and Maya are talking in the bedroom alone, she has asked her mother not to tell Eli anything about the pregnancy yet.

"I can't believe he abandoned you pregnant and alone... with his own baby. I really thought he was the right man for you," said Maya angrily to Fitz.

"It's not like that, mom. he didn't want me to leave his house, he always says that his house is mine now too. he said he loves me, he cared that I arrived safely. Fitz's problem is his father, it's the traumas he has... but I feel that our baby is going to do him so much good, he's going to be an incredible father... I know that, but he doesn't know it yet" she said defending Fitz.

"If you say so, I believe you. You know him better than I do..." said Maya, hugging Olivia.

"Have you ever imagined how beautiful my baby is going to be?" said Olivia smiling.

"That's for sure... because you're so beautiful and so is Fitz"

Fitz was drinking whisky... alone and sad. That huge mansion was so silent without the sound of her laughter.

He went up to room, took out one of her dresses and smelled her... he slept in her dress.

/

Jake slept with a prostitute, Abby opened her eyes in the morning and noticed he wasn't there. she knows he's not a good man, she knows Olivia is right, but loneliness made her accept crumbs from him, so she wouldn't feel so alone.

Huck slept on the sofa, he's ashamed of the whole situation Jake has created.

"Good morning, Huck... I'm going out to exercise... but you can eat whatever you want" she said and left.

Abby misses Olivia's friendship so much.

Fitz woke up, looked at her pillow on the bed and it was empty, that big bed, without her... he didn't have her smile, he didn't have her good morning kiss... she was so missed.

He had coffee, showered and went out to drive...

Whenever he needs good advice, he knows he can count on Vincent and that's what he did... he drove to his brother's house.
