Hey everyone! I know it's been such a long time since I've written or updated a story, but I started writing this one and had to give it a try! This season has been so good so far and I've had so much inspiration to write again.

It starts out with their confrontation in 4x04, while adding my own little twist to it.

I hope you all enjoy! :)

"I went with Jake."

"So I am a failure as a father and a husband and a man. Good to know. Heavy is the head that wears the crown they say."

Fitz backed away and sat down on his desk. The revelation that the woman he loved went away with another man was just too much for him to handle. He was pissed, furious, and hurt.

"Fitz, I'm sorry," she said, reaching for him.

He quickly grabbed a hold of her arm and squeezed it.

"Fitz…you're hurting me," she whispered.

He looked into her eyes, still keeping his hold on her arm. "Just like you hurt me?"

She pulled away from him as hard as she could. She stared at him, before slapping him in the face. "That doesn't give you the right to grab me up like that."

"Oh yeah? Why don't you go cry to your boyfriend about that?"

He got up off of his desk and started walking away, when she finally got the courage to go off.

"How dare you."

He turned around and stared at her intently. She could tell that he was raging, anger evident in his face.

"You are married. You sleep in the same bed with another woman every night. The whole world knows that she is your wife. I go away with Jake for two months and suddenly I'm the bad guy? How hypocritical is that? What do you expect me to do? You're in this office for another four years. Do you really expect me to wait around for you? To be celibate? I am a woman, I have needs."

"I don't want to hear about your needs," he interrupted, disgusted to think about how well Jake is catering to her needs.

"And Jake?!" she yelled, getting back on her rant. "Jake…loves me. He's a good guy. He knows that I will never love him as much as I love you and he is still there for me. If you don't have the courage to leave your wife, then do not get pissed off at me for being with someone who isn't embarrassed to be seen with me in public."

"I don't have the courage to leave my wife? I did! I sat with you and ran out the clock on my marriage. I was ready to give all of this up for you. And what did you do? You turned me down. You turn me down every…single…time. You push me away. You find some reason for us to not be together. I think about Vermont every single day. I want nothing more to be there right now, with you, making jam. But…"

"But you're the president of the United States. You have a duty. You have a reputation. You have been serving your second term for only two months and you have already passed a major act. Imagine what you can do in four years."

"Imagine where we could be in four years." He started walking towards her. "Liv, I don't care about being president as much as I care about being with you."

He inched closer to her, his face getting closer and closer to hers. Her first instinct was to move towards him, but she knew that she had to slowly back away.

"I have to do what's best for me right now. And so do you. Your wife and your daughter need you. Teddy needs you. America needs you. I…I'm happy. Jake and I…have something good right now. You also need to realize that grabbing me cannot and will not happen from here on out. Do you think that turns me on? Makes me want you more? It doesn't. It scares me. It makes me fear you. So until you get your anger and your jealously under control…I'm done here. After this whole fiasco gets fixed, I'm gone. Do not call me or summon me. I am not a dog or your little bitch and I will not be treated as such."

"Liv…I didn't mean to," he said, reaching to move the hair out of her face and behind her ear.

She backed away, placing a metaphorical wall between them.

"I know you didn't. But it's a problem that you need to get fixed. And unfortunately my fixing abilities do not include anger management."

They stared at each other for what seemed like minutes. When she realized that their fight was over, she grabbed her purse and walked towards the door.

"Liv?"

She turned around and looked at him.

"Give them the money. I need this to go away."

She nodded with an apologetic smile and walked out of his office. To Fitz, it felt like she had just walked out of his life for what seemed like the hundredth time. But she was right. He had an anger problem and was insanely jealous of Jake. He needed to get it fixed. If he wanted to ever have Vermont, he needed to change…for her.

Cyrus walked in, bringing him out of his deep thought.

"How's everything going Mr. President?"

"The parents of one of the boys Karen was with want me to pay 2.5 million dollars to get rid of the video."

"They're blackmailing the president?"

Fitz laughed. "I'm an easy target, I guess. But this needs to go away. So I will do whatever I have to do to protect my daughter, my family, and this office."

"Glad to hear it sir. I'm going to head home. I have some…things I have to take care of. Is there anything else I can do for you sir?"

"No Cy. That will be all. Have a good night."

"You too Fitz."

Cyrus started walking towards the door, when Fitz thought of the conversation he had with Olivia.

"Oh Cy!"

Cyrus turned around. "Yes Mr. President?"

"I need you to get me a list of top notch therapists or psychiatrists that are trustworthy and won't go run their mouths to the press."

"For Karen? Mellie?"

"No. It's for me, Cyrus."

"Why do you…?"

"Just do it!" he said a little louder than he anticipated.

"Yes sir. Of course."

Cyrus slammed the door shut, leaving Fitz to wallow in his self pity with nothing but himself and his Scotch.

So what did you all think? Are you here for it? Let me know in the reviews! :)
