The daughter of Olivia Pope [On Hold]

Casually running into the president

A/N for those of you avid Scandal watchers please don't be upset if I mess something up. I barely turned fourteen yesterday and I don't have cable so if I want to watch Scandal I have to stay up until two in the morning on the weekend. And I'm all pooped out after about five hours of Doctor Who, Father Brown, Downtown Abbey, Doc Marton, ect. but I'll try to please you.

RECAP: Even with my rad friend and famous mom my life is pretty dull. Or at least it was until my mom came back.

I was coming home from J-tech's house making sure to be careful. I was walking up our apartment stairs I could hear voices. When I reached our door it was halfway open. I peered inside not wanting to walk in on Aunt Reese and a friend. I couldn't believe my eyes the on our couch sat Olivia Pope.

They're talking about me, something about moving. But why I didn't want to leave Aunt Resse. I thought we were safe. I guess I must have slipped or something after that because her eyes darted in my direction. She immediately stood and called my name 'Heather.'

I ran not knowing what else to do. I heard her footsteps following me, I just ran faster. I had been running for about four blocks when I looked back. I didn't see her. I turned my head back in front of me a little too late to notice the man on his phone with a sundae in his hands right in front of me. I ran smack dab into him.

'I'm so sorry' he apologized.

'No it's my fault I should have been looking where I was going...' I stopped when I saw his face.

'You're President Grant' oh my I am so sorry' I exclaimed feeling even more guilty.

This is so crazy. Don't presidents have like a million body guards with them at all times? And what's he doing in an alley of a neighborhood as sketchy as this one? I thought to myself. I took a minute to really look at him and realized that he was just as surprised to see me as I was to see him. But why?

'Did anyone ever tell you, you look like Olivia' 'Pope' I finished.

'Yeah I get that all the time'I said looking down.

'Oh I am so sorry' he said noticing the huge coffee stain on my shirt.

'Oh it's okay' I said wishing he'd walk away so I wouldn't feel so awkward. Next thing I knew I was swapping numbers with the guy. He offered his and he's the president I couldn't refuse. Could I?

He was about to continue then something behind me caught his eye. I turned around and saw her. I considered making a run for it but he had his hand on my shoulder. He waved her in our direction. I could see the guilt in her eyes as she slowly made her way towards us.

'Hey Liv meet you're doppelganger' he said sounding excited. 'The resemblance is uncaning' he said grinning. He must be a complete idiot if he hasn't figured this one out. I thought. The way he talked to her was weird. It was as if they were best friends.

'Mo...'Grant this is my neice' Olivia said interrupting me.

'How?' Grant asked puzzled.

'She's my sister's daughter ' Liv lied.

'But you don't have a sister's he said starting to get it 'What's really going on here?'

'She's my...''daughter' I finished. I turned towards her. ' I'm your daughter. You gave birth to me, do you remember that, Mom? Mom a title you don't deserve to wear' I was in tears. 'Since you're so ashamed of it I'll relieve you of your duties. Oh, wait, you already did that yourself' I started to walk away but I felt his hand on my wrist.

'Let go of me' I said trying to shake his hand of. 'Let go of me' I repeated but still his grip was tight. I couldn't hold it in anymore I broke into tears. He finally let go. After a while I wiped my tears and looked at him.

'The way you talk to her...'  I started but couldn't finish' ...Liv who's my father?' 'I can't tell you that' was all she could say not looking at me. 'It's me isn't it' Grant said. My eyes immediately darted between them. 'Isn't it!' he yelled. 'Yes Grant, you're a father once again are you happy' she said walking away.

I finally understood. She really was hiding me but she had a pretty damb good reason. I didn't even think after that I ran up to her and hugged her. 'I love you'I whispered softly into her side. I was happy when I felt a squeeze returned. Her voice was shaky but I could clearly hear her say 'I love you too. '
