Dad's Best Friend

Christmas - The News

Liv woke up around eleven AM, smelling her dad's amazing food, she smiled to herself before remembering what happened yesterday.

She sighed and sat up, rubbing her eyes, she decided to get ready and worry about her problem when Fitz got here.

Putting on a silver dress that went to her knees, red on her shoulders and red flowers over her dress, pairing it with a red heels and some silver jewelry, doing a nice half up, half down style with her beautiful curls.

She went downstairs to help her dad with cooking as he made sure she was okay since she was a bit off yesterday, she told him 'she was feeling better today' which made him happy, also complimenting on her beautiful appearance.

She blushed and 'thanked' her father and went back to helping him with the food.

As soon as it hit three PM, Liv became nervous since she knew Fitz would arrive very, very soon.

She got a glass of water, drinking it all to calm her nerves, that quickly disappeared as the doorbell rang, her palms getting sweaty.

"Do you mind getting the door Liv?", she shook her head and walked out the kitchen, slowly and nervously walking to the front door.

She took a deep breath before opening the door, meeting the eye contact with the handsome man that was now her baby daddy.

He smiled happily at her but when she didn't return the smile, he got worried, "Livvie? What's wrong?", he asked concerned, walking in and closing the door before taking her hands.

She looked up at him and teared up, "I'm pregnant.", she whispered, he slowly let go of her hands and stood there, shocked, "W-What?".

Before they could say anything, Eli walked up to them, "Fitz! Good to see you man.", Fitz gulped and gave Eli a hug, putting on a fake smile to hide his nerves.

"Why don't you guys go sit in the living room while I finish dinner?", Eli smiled at them, Liv nodded and walked in the living room, "Sure.", Fitz smiled again and took off his shoes and coat.

Eli walked back in the kitchen to finish cooking for the three. Fitz walked in the living room, sitting next to Liv as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"When did you find out?", he asked softly, grabbing her hand, she sniffled and looked at him, "Yesterday. I took six tests and they all came back positive. I didn't think much of it, yeah I started feeling sick and I missed my period but I didn't put two and two together until yesterday.".

he sighed and pulled her into his lap, hugging her tightly, "What about the birth control you were taking?", she shrugged and wiped her tears, "I guess it wasn't powerful enough.".

He stayed quiet and held her in his arms, "What are we going to do?", she asked, looking up at him, he looked down, "Do you want to have this baby?", she sat up a little, "Of course I do, I've wanted a baby since I was five.", he smiled, thinking 'how cute she is'.

"Then let's have a baby.", "Really?", she looked at him, surprised, he nodded and kissed her softly, "Yes, really. Let's have a baby, Olivia Pope.", she smiled widely, wrapping her arms around his neck before kissing him slowly.

Hearing the humming from her father, brought her back to reality, pushing him away from her, "My dad.", she frowned, "We'll tell him tonight, okay? We don't have to hide anymore.", she looked at him, unsure.

"We can do this Olivia, we're going to have this baby and be happy together.", he held her face in his hand, caressing his thumbs against her cheeks. She took a deep breath and nodded, "We can do this.", they smiled and kissed one last time before she got off his lap and turned on the tv, secretly holding hands.

It soon hit six PM, they were all seated at the table, eating and talking as Fitz and Liv were holding hands under the table.

Once the room got quiet, Fitz looked at Liv and nodded, she took a deep breath and nodded back before looking at her father, "Dad?", "Hm?", he looked at her, leaning back in his chair as he took a sip of wine.

"Well I wanted to talk to you about yesterday.", she but her lip nervously, "Go on.", he crossed his arms, Fitz gently squeezed her hand, telling her 'she was doing a good job'.

She took a deep breath before continuing, "Well.. the reason I was being so weird yesterday was because.. I found out that I'm.. pregnant.", she gulped as her father stared her in the eyes, "I see.. and do you know who the father is?", she scoffed, "Of course I do, dad.", "And?", he raised his eyebrow.

"Well, u-um..", Fitz stepped in to help Liv, so she wouldn't have to do this alone, "Eli.. me and Olivia have been seeing each other for a month and.. well we didn't expect this to happen but I am the father of the baby.".

Eli looked down at this plate, "Get out.", he said, "W-Wha-?", "I said get out!", he yelled as he stood up, "Dad!", "No! How dare you take advantage of my daughter?!", now it was Fitz's turn to stand up, "Excuse me?".

"You heard me! She is twenty years old!", Liv quickly stood up and got between the two men she loved dearly, "Dad stop! He didn't do anything!", "I want you gone! Get out!!", Eli exclaimed.

"Dad no! Stop!", Liv cried, trying to calm her father, "Livvie it's okay, I'll leave.", he kissed her head before walking out the dining room.

"Fitz no!", she tried to run after him but Eli quickly grabbed her arm, "Let him go Olivia, he's not worth it.", yanking her arm from her father, she turned to her father, "We're having this baby, I'm going to marry him and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.".

She ran out the dining room, catching up with Fitz, just as he opened the door, "Fitz!", he turned around, catching her as she ran into his arms, "Take me with you.", he nodded and grabbed her coat, putting it on her before they walked out the house, getting into his car and driving off into the night.

They shortly arrived at his house, he helped her out the car and unlocked the door, letting her enter first before walking in and closing the door behind them.

He took off his shoes and coat before taking off her coat for her, he picked her up bridal style, taking them upstairs as she hid her face in his neck, crying against his skin.

He walked in his bedroom and placed her on his bed, kneeling down to take off her heels, she sniffled and wiped her eyes as she watched him.

Placing her heels to the side, he stood up and slowly brought her to her feet, unzipping her dress and taking it off gently.

"Go lay down.", he said softly and kissed her head, she nodded and got under his covers in just her panties.

He folded her dress and placed it on the dresser before undressing himself, placing his dirty clothes in the hamper.

He slid in bed, behind Liv and wrapped his arm around her waist, kissing the side of her face softly while rubbing his thumb against her stomach where their baby was growing. 

"I love you.", he whispered in her ear, she turned her head and looked at him, "I-I love you too.", she said softly before kissing him lovingly.

She turned her head back around and closed her eyes, exhausted from all the yelling and shouting.

Falling asleep in the arms of the love of her life.
