Vincent was having coffee, looked out of the window and saw Fitz's car coming... he figured Fitz was in trouble.
"Baby, you know my brother. I've got to take care of him or he'll get into more trouble," said Vincent to Lara.
"Okay, fine..." she said.
Vincent walked over to Fitz, saw the look on his face and knew...
"What are you doing at my house so early? I don't remember inviting you," Vincent mocked him.
"I'm staying at your place today..." said Fitz as he slammed the car door.
They hugged... Fitz went inside, said good morning to Lara and they went to talk in the guest room.
"You can stay here as long as you need. I'm your older brother and your psychologist. But... what did you do wrong? I know you," said Vincent.
Fitz started walking around the room, went to the window, took a deep breath and didn't say anything...
"Where's Olivia?"
"She went to her parents' house..."
"What happened? Did you cheat on her?" Vincent frowned.
"No, since I met her... I haven't had sex with any other woman. I just feel like having it with her..." he said, pacing the room.
"Welcome to the world of men in love..." said Vincent, relieved that Fitz had confessed that he hadn't cheated on Olivia.
Fitz put his hands in his pockets and went to the window again, he was completely restless "What happened... is that I'm a coward. I'm a coward... your dream is to be a father, then you found out that Lara can't get pregnant and you supported her. Liv is pregnant, she wants to keep the baby, she told me about the pregnancy... expecting my support and I was an idiot with her. every time I try to be happy with her, I ruin everything" Vincent is the only one he trusts to tell him about his feelings for Olivia.
Vincent was surprised, he thought it could be anything but that Fitz was going to be a father.
"Pregnant? Olivia's pregnant? wow... now you've really managed to impress me. are you going to be a father? Fitz, you're going to be a father..." Vincent hugged him.
"I wish I could be like you... I'm sure you and Lara are going to adopt a baby and you're going to be a great father. but I... I'm not going to be a good father. I know it" he had tears in his eyes.
"Fitz, I know our father is responsible for all your traumas, I know he's not even close to being a good father... even though he treats me with affection, I don't think it's fair the way he treats you, it's cruel... I've told him that so many times."
"Why does he hate me so much? What have I done?" Fitz asked, looking at the floor.
"I don't know... I remember he had a mistress, he and our mother were always fighting. then she got pregnant with you, he didn't want a child anymore... and he wanted her to have an abortion, but she didn't want to. I heard these conversations behind the door" Vincent said sadly, remembering all the things he had seen his mother go through.
He had never told Fitz about it before... because he didn't want Fitz to have yet another reason to feel despised.
"You never told me about this..." Fitz stammered.
"I'm sorry," Vincent said with tears in his eyes.
"He only wanted you as a son, so... our mother got pregnant with me and he wanted her to have an abortion... because he never wanted me as his son. That must be why he hates me so much" he was trying to finish speaking, but it was difficult.
"I've never told you about this before, because I thought it would leave you with even more trauma than you already have. but now... you're going to be a father... so how do you think your daughter... or your son... will feel when they grow up and find out that you didn't want to be a father? the feeling of rejection is horrible and you know it" those words hit Fitz in a way he hadn't expected.
Fitz remained silent, reflecting on everything he had heard from his brother.
"You're going to be a great father... I'm sure of it. I trust you... Now go and get some sleep... you're mentally exhausted" said Vincent as he left the room.
Fitz went to try and get some sleep...
After hours away... Jake arrived... he hugged Huck and was happy that he had arrived. Abby called Jake in for a chat...
"You smell like you've slept with prostitutes... what do you think you're doing?" Abby shouted at him.
Jake approached her, held her arm tightly... "You're hurting me," she said.
"Abby... that day Olivia was here and you asked me to leave, I stood outside listening to you two talk. I heard you saying that you feel lonely and that you're jealous of her beauty. Olivia is so beautiful and hot, you're not as beautiful as her... but I like fucking you. you're alone here in this house, there's no one... I'm all you have right now. right?" he said trying to use her weakness to his advantage again.
Abby remained silent...
"Do you want me to leave your house? Do you want to be lonely here? Olivia now has a rich boyfriend who does everything she wants... and you? you're just lonely here" Jake began to run his hand over her body... "Do you want sex? I'll give you sex" Jake said smiling, knowing that Abby was vulnerable and easy for him to manipulate.
Huck was listening to Jake talk and didn't like the way he spoke to Abby.
Abby is getting into an abusive relationship with Jake... Olivia tried to warn her, but she didn't listen.
Olivia went to a doctor's appointment to check on her and her baby's health.
She was leaving the appointment when her cell phone rang, she saw that it was Fitz and smiled.
"Hi" he said.
"Hi" she said.
"How are you?" he asked.
"I'm fine... and you?" he asked.
"Without you with me, I'm not fine"
"Fitz"
"How's the baby?" he asked and she smiled as she realized he'd asked about the baby without her mentioning it earlier in the conversation.
"I've just left a doctor's appointment... everything's fine with me and the baby"
He breathed a sigh of relief knowing that she and the baby were fine.
"I love you" he said.
"I love you too"
They hung up.
Jake got two beers for himself and Huck... "Jake, why did you treat Abby like that? I came in here and she had such a sad look on her face... do you take pleasure in treating all women badly? first Olivia, now her friend?" said Huck.
"What? you already want to fuck her? you can have her... I want Olivia. Abby is my trump card, to get closer to Olivia, but when I get tired of her, you can have her." Jake laughed and took a sip from his beer.
"I thought Abby was beautiful, she doesn't deserve to be treated like that..." said Huck.
"I saw Olivia... she came here and I saw her in front of me... she's still so beautiful and hot... I'm crazy about her"
"You're going completely mad," said Huck.
Later...
Lara overheard a conversation between Fitz and Vincent talking about Olivia's pregnancy and it brought back bad memories about her attempts to get pregnant, which didn't work. she started to cry... so Vincent came to her...
"It's okay, we can adopt" he said, hugging her...
Fitz watched the way Vincent supported Lara and all he could think about was Olivia... all he could think about was her.
