We've Got News

AUTHORS NOTE
I JUST STARTED BINGE WATCHING SCANDAL IN APRIL AND I BECAME HOOKED SO I DECIDED WHY NOT DO A FANFIC. ITS MY OWN IDEAS MOST NOT RELATED TO THE SHOW BUT THIS IS JUST FOR FUN SO ENJOY READING.

Fitz set at his desk in his office doing his presidential duties. A few moments later, Olivia  walked in. She closed his office door and dropped her purse on the couch.

Fitz walked over to her. He could see the nervousness within her. She started pacing back and forth in front of the couch.

Fitz grabbed her and pulled her in close to his body.

Fitz: Olivia what's going on?
Olivia: This whole situation.
Fitz: One day at a time. I can't have you stressing right now.

Olivia set down on the couch. And Fitz went back to his desk. The two set in silence until Cyrus came in the office. Cyrus was Fitz's Chief of Staff and also great friends to both Olivia and Fitz.

Cyrus read the room when he walked in. It was something really off. He walked up to Fitz who was now standing behind his desk.

Cyrus: What's going on?

He looked at Fitz and to Olivia.

Cyrus: Someone tell me something now!
Fitz: ....O........ Olivia is.... pregnant.

Cyrus didn't need much more explaining.

Cyrus: Yours?

Fitz nodded his head.

Cyrus: That trip to Vermont two months ago for a week. I take it you weren't alone.
Fitz: She only stayed 2 days. The other days I really was taking a mental break.

Olivia remained silent on the couch, but her eyes did not leave Fitz direction.

Cyrus: And you're keeping it?
Fitz: Yes Cy we are. We both have talked about it.

Fitz looked over at Olivia to make sure they were both still on the same page.

The room was silent for awhile. Finally Cyrus said something.

Cyrus: This stays between us 3. Fitz you continue to play the role of a good husband to your wife. Last thing we need is Mellie to find out. Olivia for you stay away from the cameras, and just stick to your schedule.

Cyrus didn't have much more to say to either one of them. He walked out leaving Fitz and Olivia alone.

Olivia grabbed her stuff off the couch. Fitz walked over to her.

Fitz: Olivia, Don't forget about the gala tomorrow?
Olivia: I'll be here.

He grazed her hand as she walked out the office.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Olivia had finished touching up her hair before she had to run to the bathroom for the sixth time that day to throw up. Afterwards she cleaned herself up and went to get dressed for tonight's Spring Gala at that White House.

Olivia decided on a long black dress. Her bump only barely showed, and it would most likely be visible to the people who knew of her pregnancy. Olivia just prayed this night went by quickly and that she could get through tonight without any pregnancy symptoms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fitz and Mellie stood at the entrance shaking hands, hugging and having small chat with each and every person that walked in. 

The next person to come through the entrance was no other that Olivia Pope. Fitz froze for a second taking all of her beauty in before quickly remembering his wife was next to him and cameras were everywhere. Mellie greeted Olivia first.

Mellie: Olivia you look amazing.
Olivia: Thank you. You look stunning as always.

They smiled at each and gave a little hug. Olivia greeted Fitz next.

Fitz: Liv, thanks for being here. How are you.

Olivia: I'm fine Mr. President. Glad to be here.

Olivia shooks Fitz's hand before making her way out to the busy, moving area of the Gala. People talking, dancing, looking for seats, gathering drinks, and some taking pictures as each person came in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Olivia and Fitz constantly made eye contact throughout the night. Olivia spent most of the night sitting at the table watching everyone else around her. Fitz spent his time dancing and enjoying time with his wife.

Mellie and Fitz were on the dance floor. As he danced with Mellie he always made sure to check at the table Olivia was at to make sure she was okay. Once he checked at the table and she wasn't there, his heart started beating a little faster and eyes darted around the room. He finally spotted her walking over to the Refreshments area.

Fitz: Mellie I'm going to grab us some real drinks. I'll be back shortly.

Mellie: okay honey. I'll be at the table. My
Feet are killing me.

Fitz had to get through the people to make his way to the Refreshments Area. By time he arrived over there, someone was standing next to Olivia.

The person that was standing next to Olivia grabbed her wrist and turned her so she was now facing him. At this point all Fitz wanted to do was intervene, but he knew Olivia could handle herself and he knew it would become bigger if he stepped in. So he watched only a few feet away where he could still here and step in if he truly needed to.

Olivia: Edison, 1. Don't ever grab me. 2. We are not doing this here

Edison: Olivia we are doing this here. You took everything I had when you broke up with me.

Olivia: I only told the truth.

Edison: Olivia when you broke up with me I came over everyday not to stalk you or harass you, but to fight for you. You told the media lies.

Olivia: I was uncomfortable I told you multiple times. You never listened. I told the media I felt unsafe with the way you were taking things after the breakup. The media flipped it.

Edison: Olivia tell them the truth. Tell them I was fighting for you.

Olivia: Edison it's been 3 months. I didn't do anything, but told the truth. Please leave this situation alone.

For their whole argument neither one of the raised their voice. They just argued in a loud whisper. After the argument, Olivia knew it was time to go, she made her way to the exit.

She didn't get far before Fitz came chasing after her, he pulled her in the closest thing he could find. A supply closet.

Olivia: What are you doing Fitz? They're going to be looking for you.

Fitz pulled Olivia in and started kissing her. After a little make out session Fitz pulled away, but he stayed close to Olivia.

Fitz: You're the love of my life and you're pregnant with our child. I'm checking on you.

Fitz placed his hand on Olivia's baby Bump.

Olivia: Fitz I'm good. I'm just a little tired I'm going to go home and get some rest.

Fitz: Okay. I'll call you tonight. I love you Livvie.

She straightened his collar and allowed him to walk out first. A few minutes later she followed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Olivia was laying in bed watching the news. It was around midnight when Fitz finally called her.

Fitz: Hi

Olivia: Hi

Fitz: How are you?

Olivia: We're good. I promised we're okay.

Fitz could here the sadness in her voice.

Fitz: Goodnight Livvie

Olivia hung up the phone and laid down.
