Scandal - Secret Daughter 3

The Secret Service secured the Pope and Associates. Fitz entered  and stopped in front of everyone. Olivia looked to inside her office where Alexandra was sitting having some coffee. Fitz nodded then opened the door entering the office, causing Alexandra to put her cup down and stand up.

"Alexandra." he closed the door behind him

"Mr President, sir." she cleared her throat then smartened out her dress.

"You don't have to call me that." he stepped over to her

"I hope you don't expect me to call you Dad because that would be weird and I think inappropriate." she folded her arms

"How about first names the, you can call me  Fitz" he put a hand to his chest. She shifted awkwardly

"Fine....Fitz." they stood there in complete silence neither knowing what to say to the other as the others watched from outside. Then Alexandra broke the silence she moved behind Olivia's desk and glanced over it. she grabbed a pen and a note pad writing something down the tearing off the page. She handed it over.

"What's this?"

"My address. I'm going home. I thought I could do this I thought I could sit down with you and start a conversation but I can't at least not in person" she took a breath "I want to be strong enough but I'm not because despite everything my mother has done to me, the lies the pushing, the relentlessness  and coming very close to ruining the life that I have built, she is my mother." she began to cry

"She is my mother and you hurt her. You told her that you loved her, that you would come back, you never did, you never called, or wrote, or anything. She was left alone. Her family her very high strung deep inbread Catholic family washed their hands of her and she was alone with a crying baby. Everything she became, everything she has done is because of you and your selfishness. You pushed a loving mother, my loving mother to some deep dark place. I can't face that, you.

But another part of me the little girl who sat alone on the school carpet or at a school desk, while everyone was making fathers day cards wants you in my life. That part of me wants to know you, to see if that 24 year old hole can even be somewhat be filled or repaired. But I can't do it face to face. I can't be in the same room as you yet because it hurts so freaking much." she furiously wiped away her tears as drops ran down Fitz's face as he listened to her heartbreak.

"So I am asking you, to leave it a month, let what just happened sink in, let me wrap my head around the fact that I finally met you and that you are who you are and I am who I am. Everything just let it process, tell your wife cause in all honest she needs to know so the history book, tv show mistranslation of your having an affair never crosses her mind. When that is done. Write me a letter, something really boring and slow so, it's not overwhelming and tell me how to respond, where do I send it so that I'm not on prime time news a lie or the truth. Then we can take it from there. Please." she finished

"Okay." he cleared his throat "Okay."

"Okay." Alexandra grabbed her things ad walked out of the offices. Fitz stood there for a moment before Olivia walked in.

Millie was working on a benefit when Fitz came in and cleared the room. He was doing what was asked

"We need to talk." he stated sitting down

"What is so important that you break off from your work and mine. Is this about the meeting that you hid from me or tried to hide?" she sighs. glancing over some paperwork.

"Yes." she looked up "Do you remember when I told you that during my breaks from my tours, I went travelling because I couldn't stand being in the same place as my father?"

"Yes, you have all the pictures from your travels."

"Well, one of my stops was in Argentina and when I was there. I met someone. Before you, before Olivia and before even becoming the president was an idea or a thought. Her name was Maria. She was an amazing girl and when I was with her I thought it was love."

"Why are you telling me this? It's in the past." she questioned baffled at why he was bringing this up now

"I promised that I would come back. I intended to keep that promise but i never did. I never contacted her after I left and   she never contacted me. Millie, the reason I'm telling you this is because after I left she found out that she was pregnant." Millie sat back in her seat "She had a girl. Her name is Alexandra she is 24 years old is a forensic  scientist."

"Fitz."

"She doesn't want money but her mother. Her mother wanted the secret to come out, she wanted to force both sides to face the truth. Alexandra went to Olivia  for help. Olivia confirmed with a DNA test that Alexandra is mine."

"Fitz."

"I have another daughter and she can't stand to be in my presence yet, but she is real, she is my daughter and she wanted you to know."

"Enough!" she shouted standing up "Enough." Millie put her hand to her head, she stared at him for a moment, then left. Fitz rubbed his chin
