--/-----/------/-----/----@

Blood was all Olivia Pope could smell, his blood. The President had been shot, for the second time. Not to mention, on their wedding day. Cyrus was holding the quivering and crying woman. Who wondered who would do this to a man who was in love and wanted to be happy. Mellie? Could Mellie have done it? Was she capable of murdering a man she once loved? The nurses were everywhere, Olivia's parents arrived after their plane flight was delayed. Olivia clung to her mother, "He can't die, he can't! Mom! Please he can't die!" 

As on queue, the gurney with the President on, who was unconscious came out, Olivia cracked more grabbing his hand; "Come back to me, my sweet baby." It was their wedding day; this shouldn't have happened, She looked into his room and gasped at the site, but one thing caught her eye his Presidential Pin. She picked it up, holding it to her chest, breathing in. She couldn't lose him she couldn't. Huck arrived with news of who shot him. 

"Someone had ordered this male to shoot him," told Huck, "Oliver Roach. Name familiar?"

"No. Who, who I mean could have hired him...Mellie?" approached Olivia, her voice husky. She slyly asked if it was Mellie; she had hoped it wasn't.

"It's possible, I just need to track more," spoke Huck pulling his computer out, "I can do it here. I'd rather keep you some company."

She smiled and looked at the pin in her hand, he was still President they voted him back in so it only left one angry ex of hers. "Edison..."

"Could be him too, but I suspect it could be Mellie, but it could highly be him too," spoke Huck.

"If it was, it would be because we were marrying today. Mellie, out of spite anger and hurt." mumbled Olivia. As a surgeon approached.

"The President is out of surgery and in a recovery coma, he will have to be under for a week and a bit to give the head injury time to heal and to see if there is major brain dysfunction. Be warned, he may not be able to be President after this - he may not have his speech." spoke the Doctor.

"He'll be fine, he's strong," forced Olivia, in determination to make sure her husband would be okay.

It had been three days since the shooting, and there were no leads and Mellie had gone into hiding - which made it suspect that it was her. Edison had rang and asked if she was okay. She had asked him if he had a part in this and he profusely denied trying to take the President's life when he know how it would destroy Liv. 

It left one cuplrit, Mellie Granger. Olivia felt sick, sick to the stomach in the thought that her husband's ex could attempt to kill Fitz. This shooting could change him forever, he may not be able to be what he loves. But Olivia had to talk to Cy. "We have to be realistic, what if it was Mellie?"

Cyrus seemed distressed, "It was Mellie, but she didn't plan alone..."

"Cy, tell me you weren't involved," croaked Olivia.

"I wasn't. That's the thing, James was.." cried Cy. His walls breaking, "He tried to kill my boss, because he has...he has feelings for Mellie." 

"Cy..." breathed Olivia, taking him in a hug. This just changed things a whole lot. 

"I don't know what to do! Ella needs him, and I don't want to give her up so those two could be together. He wants you to suffer, because you  made Mellie unhappy and he wants Fitz dead because Fitz destroyed a "beautiful woman" as he put it," crumbled Cyrus.
