Chapter 27

Olivia walked into her house in search of Fitz. She found him in the kitchen with all three of the children. He looked up when she walked into the room. She said, "Can I speak with you for a moment, privately?"

They went into the his office and Olivia immediately hugged him. He hugged her back. After a moment she asked, "Have you been watching the news? Have you seen what's happening?"

He shook his head, "I spent the morning with the children. I haven't turned on the television, or looked at my phone that's been blowing up. I knew with everything in your hands I didn't need to worry about anything."

Olivia smiled up at him. She said, "Fitz it's over. It's finally over. Their in custody."

Fitz looked at his wife amazed. He asked, "It's over? Your parents and Cy are in custody? How did you manage all of that? I thought you were just starting your attack today."

Olivia took off her coat. She said, "That was the plan, but things worked out better than I would have expected. They were trying to retaliate, and my B6-13 agents were all over them. Because of this we knew their next move before they could enact it. We moved quickly, and we came out on top."

Fitz scooped Olivia up in his arms and kissed her passionately. His hands roamed her body. Squeezing her breast first then her ass. Olivia said, "Oh dammit, Fitz. Take me right now!"

Fitz went to the door, locking it. When he turned back around Olivia was undressed down to her bra and panties. Fitz followed her lead and quickly stripped out of his clothing as well. When he looked up he caught Olivia checking him out. He asked, "You see something that you like?"

She asked, "Damn, how did I get so blessed?"

Fitz said, "You don't know what blessed is, but you're about to find out."

Fitz walked over to his now fully naked wife turning her away from him. He cupped her breast, and then ran his hands down her torso. He kissed her neck as he dipped two finger into her honeypot.

Olivia moaned. She wanted Fitz frantically. She didn't think that she could stand the foreplay. She said, "We have plenty of time for foreplay when we go on vacation. Right now I need you. I need you to fuck my hard, Fitz"

Fitz didn't need any further encouragement. Taking his hard length in his hand he teased Olivia's entrance. When she started to moan and pushed her butt back towards him. He entered her in one swift thrust. Olivia moaned, "Oh fuck!"

Smiling at her reaction Fitz said, "Shhh the kids are in the kitchen. I'm just giving you what you asked for. Don't tell me you can't take it?"

Olivia hissed, "Just shut up and take me to the place only you can take me."

Fitz took Olivia's slim hips into his hands and started giving her deep hard thrusts the way that he knew that she liked it.

Olivia gave as good as she got meeting each of his forward thrusts with a backwards thrust of her ass.

Abruptly Fitz pulled out. He turned Olivia to face him, picking her up in the process. He walked to the nearest wall and impaled her again. Olivia let out a started gasp as Fitz began pumping into her with great force. It was so good to Olivia that she dug her nails into his shoulders as she struggled to breathe.

Olivia bit the side of Fitz's neck. On a breathless whisper she said, "Let's make another baby."

When Olivia said that something broke in Fitz's brain. His grip on Olivia got tighter, and his movements became more frantic. Before he knew it they were both groaning in ecstasy.

On weakened legs Fitz carried Olivia over to the sofa and laid down with her in his arms. He kissed her temple before asking, "You really want to have another baby? You're going to come off of birth control?"

Olivia shocked him when she said, "I already came off. I knew that we would be wrapping this thing up, and I knew that I wanted to have another baby, and I knew that you wouldn't care."

Fitz smiled, "No I don't care at all. So, you're really leaving the White House?"

Olivia nodded. "Yes, I am really leaving the White House. I want to focus on you and our family. I meant that."

Fitz kissed his wife.

Olivia and Fitz stayed lying on the sofa for about thirty minutes until they heard Ava fussing. They got up and redressed and went in search of their children.

Later that afternoon Olivia was stepping out of the shower. Fitz walked into the bathroom. He asked, "Oh, you getting ready for round two?"

Olivia laughed, "Maybe later. Now, I'm headed to see my parents. I'm ready to close that chapter of my life, and in order to do so I have to go get some things off of my chest."

Fitz nodded. He asked, "Do you want me to come with you?"

Olivia shook her head. "No, I have a task for you to complete. Erica is coming over. I need you to tell her that we will no longer be needing her services."

Fitz chuckled, "Why do I have to do it?"

Olivia smoothed body butter into her skin. She said, "I told you that I have somewhere to be."

Fitz said facetiously, "Yes, honey."

Olivia was brought into a room with her mother first. As soon as Olivia walked into the room Maya started her song and dance. "Olivia, I can't believe I managed to get caught up with your father's and Cyrus' jacked up plans. I knew that you would know what's up. I was waiting for you, baby."

Olivia shook her head taking a seat. She said, "I trusted you. I brought you around my child. I gave you a chance to be my mother. To be a grandmother, but you spit in my face. I'm just here letting you know that this is it. I am no longer beholden to my desire to have my mother and father's love. I am going to channel that energy into loving my family. I would say that I'm sorry that things had to turn out this way, but I'm not sorry. I'm sorry you couldn't see that you had an amazing daughter who is smart, and beautiful, and all that any parent would be proud to call their daughter. I hope it was worth it."

With that Olivia stood and made her exit. Maya sat with a stunned look on her face. She couldn't believe the resolution that she heard in her daughter's voice.

Next Olivia went to see her father. Rowan sat there with a scowl on his face. He said, "I don't know why you're here. It's obvious that you no longer wish to have a father. You've made your choice Olivia."

Olivia sat shaking her head. She said, "No, just like with everything else you made my decision for me. Fitz is my husband, and the man I love. You were my father. I don't know why you had this sick notation that you and him were in some kind of competition for my affections. That's just sick. It's over now, though."

Rowan sneered, "I hope that Fitzgerald Grant is worth it Olivia. You have no one in the world to look out for you now. No one to have your back."

"Dad, I hope that your hatred for Fitzgerald Grant was worth losing your only child. Oh, and as far as I am concerned, Fitz is the only who has ever had my back. Him, and my team. You had my back when it was convenient for you. However, you would throw me to the wolves if and when it was convenient to you as well. So, I'm not worried about who has my back. I now get that I have to watch my own back," Olivia stated with finality.

Rowan said, "I've told you over and over again, that choosing them over me will never work out for you."

Olivia said, "I told you over and over again that your assessment has been discredited because as much as you tell me not to choose them over you, you are always working with them. I'm no longer interested in continuing this conversation. I was just coming to bid you goodbye."

Olivia stood and left.

Olivia decided against seeing Cyrus. He had been a good mentor for her at first, but along the way his ambition had taken over, and he lost his way. She had nothing to say to him. Because nothing she would say to Cyrus would make him see how wrong he is. Actually nothing she could say to any of them could make them see their wrong, but she wanted her parents to know what they lost.

Olivia left and went to debrief her team.

Olivia walked into QPA. She found everyone sitting at the conference table. She said, "Thank you all for coming. I just want you all to know that I appreciate all you did to help us capture the people who were threatening our democracy. I know that it was daunting, and some of you have been with me since the very beginning, and it often seemed as if we had lost more fights than we won, but overall we won the war. That's all that really matters."

Abby walked up to Olivia and said, "Don't be startled. I know that this has been a bit rough on you. Like I told you before, I'm going to hug you, and you're going to stand here and take it."

With that out of the way Abby grabbed her best friend and held her. Before Liv knew what was happening the tears started to fall. She cried, and Abby held her. Everyone else in the room excused themselves.

After a while Abby let Olivia go, and handed her tissues. Olivia said, "Thank you, Abs. You always seem to know what I need. Even more than I know what I need. I feel cleansed, and like a weight has been lifted."

Abby nodded. She said, "You're free now. You're free to move on. Free to live your life the way that you want to live your life without interference for others. You should feel light as a feather. You deserve it."

Olivia grabbed Abby's hand she said, "Thank you for sticking with me through it all. I know it wasn't easy sometimes, but you were always there loving me through it all. You're my family Abby."

Abby laughed, "Duh, I'm your family. Stop being mushy. Go thank Huck, Quinn and Charlie."

Olivia walked to the different offices of her friends thinking them from their continued support. On the ride back to her house she had a lot to reflect on. Her father had said she was in the world alone now, with no one to watch out for her. He was wrong. The family that she had picked up along the way was always in her corner. They always had her back, and they were always there.

She was beginning to understand that the family you created was sometimes better than the family you were born into. She understood that she needed to stop searching for validation with others, and to focus on being the best person she could be.

Everything that she had went through with her parents in her adult life had taught her one huge lesson. It taught her that you controlled your own destiny. You couldn't stand by and let others dictate how your life turned out. You had to be responsible for your own ending.

She was going to end Olivia Pope's story, not Eli, and not Maya. She had a child, and she was going to have another. She was determined to be the mother she wished she would've had. She couldn't control her parents, but she could control what she did as a parent. That is what she was going to focus on. Oh and loving her man.
