Like I expected, everyone was pretty pissed off with Fitz during the last chapter. Olivia is normally the asshole on TV, and quite honestly its refreshing to write something different. Despite me writing 20+ chapters of Olitz, some readers are still convinced I'm going to turn this into an Olake or Olake/ Olitz love triangle. All my stories end with an Olitz endgame, and this story will be no different. Happy reading! :)


She was sleeping soundly when a creak from the door awoke her. The room was pitch black, and the only thing she could make out was the alarm clock which read 2:04 am. Liv reached over and flickered on the lights to see Fitz standing in her doorway.

"Get out."

"Liv..." He took a step forward. "I just want to talk. No yelling. No screaming. No cursing. I need to talk to you."

"Why is it on your terms? When I wanted to talk all you could do was scream in my face. You called me a liar over something I didn't lie to you about. So I don't want to talk to you. I want you to get your stuff and leave."

"Leave and go where Olivia?" He closed the door and took a seat on Abby's bed. Luckily after all the dramatics, Abby decided to stay in Cara's room.

"New York. Honestly, I don't care. I just don't want you here." She said curtly.

"You can't just shut me out Olivia. I'm sorry for how I reacted. I truly am. I never should have raised my voice to you. I'm not that guy and you know that. I just feel like we're so..."

"So what? Spit it out."

"Far apart." He replied honestly. Between the car crash and Liv going away to school, they'd both be lying if they said it hadn't put a strain on their relationship. And now an unexpected pregnancy was only further pushing them away.

She nodded.

"I miss you Olivia. I miss us. The old us. I want to get back to that. I still love you and there's nothing you can do to change that."

"I need space." Her words hung in the air. "From school, from you; from everything."

He was flabbergasted. How much more space could he possibly give her? They'd been apart for months, and now she was sitting there telling him that they needed more space? It just didn't add up.

"If you don't want this anymore Olivia then just say it. Don't feed me bullshit about wanting space or taking a break. Either you want me, or you don't. Simple as that."

"Well I don't. Not after tonight. Not after you could speak to me like that. You don't love me, not like I love you because I could never ever treat you the way you just treated me. I'm fucking pregnant for crying out loud."

"I love you." He pleaded. "With everything Olivia. You are the only thing in my life that I'm certain about. I'm sorry for how I behaved. It was disgusting and not at all a reflection of myself. You know me... You really know me Liv. There isn't a thing in the world that I wouldn't do for you, that I wouldn't protect you from. You are the love of my life. You're it for me, so I'm not just walking away from you, or our baby."

"I need space."

"Do you still love me?"

It took her a while to answer, her voice broken when she finally did. "Does it matter?"

"Of course it matters."

"I need space."

"We're having a baby Olivia."

"You think I don't know that?!" She spat at him. "I know that! But I won't be my father. I won't stay in a relationship because of a child. I won't do that to myself."

"You are not your father Olivia. Your father knew that your mother wasn't right for him. Can you honestly say that about us? That we aren't right for each other? Because if you can, I'll pack my things right now and leave."

"Don't you dare turn this on me you asshole."

"I'm not. All I'm saying is that if you can honestly say from your heart that we aren't right for each other, then I'll leave. But if you can't, then I'll fight for this. I'll fight for you and our baby until you realize how sorry I am. How much I really do love you. I would do anything in the entire world for you. I just want us together, I'll do anything. I never ever want to fight with you. We fight together, not against each other. We're a team and you know that."

He was right. They were a team. Together they had taken on so much, been through so much. He had her heart completely, there was no denying that.

"You don't ever speak to me like that again. Do you understand me?"

He nodded. "I promise."

"And don't you ever fucking jerk your arm away from me when I'm trying to hold it." The tiniest smile cracked at the corner of her lips and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Never." He shook his head. "All I want to do is fix us. I don't care about anything else."

She nodded. "Okay."

"I love you."

"I love you too." She patted the empty space on her bed. "No sex, just spooning."

He smiled softly. "I can do that." He got in the bed next to her, big spooning her small frame. She reached around, placing his hand back on her stomach. "Night Livvie."

"Night Fitz."

Olivia was awoken again by another creak of the door. However this time, it wasn't her handsome boyfriend, but Abby. The girl waltzed in and flopped onto her own bed.

"You have some fucking nerve coming into this room after the shit you pulled last night."

"Well it seems everything is alright in paradise." She smirked at the sight of Fitz who awoke due to Olivia's stirring.

"Let me make this very clear to you. The only reason I haven't beaten the shit out of you is because I'm pregnant. That's the only reason. But this is no longer your room. Find somewhere else to stay."

"And under what authority are you able to kick me out of my room?" Abby asked. "Last time I checked, only the housing office is able to do that."

"Good thing I had my dad call them last night. Your trailer trash ass is out of here. You've been transferred to Saugeen; the all girls res. Enjoy."

Abby leaped up. "Bullshit!"

"Check your email you idiot. You have 48 hours to vacate the premise. Please let me know if you need any help getting your shit outta here, Fitz and I are more than happy to help."

Abby pulled out her phone, reading the email. "You evil little—"

"HEY!" Fitz boomed. "It's not in my nature to curse out a woman, but if you utter one more word you leave me no choice."

"Pack your shit and go Abby. You lost." Liv turned back over into Fitz's arms facing him. She giggled as she heard Abby stormed out, slamming the door behind her.

"God you're sexy when you're so evil." Fitz teased, kissing her forehead. "I am fully turned on by you right now."

"Oh shut up." Liv playfully swatted his chest. After last night, it was painfully nice to just laugh and joke around with him. God knows they needed it. "I never ever want to fight with you again. I love you too much for that."

"Agreed." He sighed. "I just want to say how sorry I am for last night Livvie."

"Let's not talk about it anymore. I forgive you. I love you. I love our baby. Let's focus on moving forward."

It always amazed him how mature she was for such a young age. "Moving forward."

After lounging in bed for far too long, the couple decided to get a quick breakfast before Fitz's train. They enjoyed their western sandwiches on the walk to train station.

"When are you gonna come to visit me?"

"I have to figure out what to do about school. My dad already got me into NYU but—"

"But what. Olivia our baby isn't going to stop you from finishing school . We'll figure out a schedule. We'll work this out."

She smiled. "Mhm, you're the best baby daddy ever."

"I'm your only baby daddy." He smirked.

Waiting for his train to board was painful. She really didn't want him to go. But it didn't make any sense for him to stay. She'd probably be leaving Rhode Island shortly anyway. There was just a few things she needed to take care of before she did.

"Promise me you'll take care of yourself, and go to a doctor." He said standing up as his ticket number was called.

"I promise."

"Okay. I gotta go Livvie."

She held back the tears in her eyes. "I'll see you soon right?"

"Of course." He assured her. "I'll call you when I get home."

"I wish I could come with you."

"I wish you could too. I'll be seeing you soon."

"Two weeks?" She smiled. That was all the time she needed to wrap up things at Brown. She would need to talk to each professor, hoping they would understand her current situation.

"I can't wait." He kissed her lips tenderly before pulling away moments later. "See you."

"Bye." She watched as he boarded the train, trying her best to hold it together. Liv gave him a wave once he finally settle into his window seat. "I love you." She mouthed to him.

"I love you more." He mouthed right back.

Liv returned to her dormitory to find a new level of awkwardness amongst her floormates. No doubt Abby had gone and spread lies, gossip or whatever. Regardless, Liv entered her room to find her roommate packing her belongings.

She smirked happily. "Glad to see you're leaving."

"Screw off." Abby spat. "I didn't lose because at the end of the day you're the one whose pregnant. Not me."

"Yeah pregnant by the love of my life. I don't consider that a loss. You're the one who's scrounging after David who clearly doesn't want you. Unfortunately, you're the loser."

"Good luck trying to finish your degree with a baby."

"Thanks but I don't need luck. Especially not yours."

Abby scoffed, rolling her eyes dramatically. "Whatever Olivia."

Olivia left the dean's office feeling a weird sense of relief and sadness. She explained to him her current situtation with nothing but honesty. Surprisingly the Dean was more than accomodating. He agreed that as long as she completed online exams for each of her courses, she would be exempt from lectures, tutorials and labs. Meaning, if she wanted to go to New York right away, it was an option. She had all the assigned readings, and could literally leave campus forever right this moment. However there was a feeling of sadness that came with that notion. If she left Brown, she was also leaving her life as a free 18 year old with a limitless future.

Regardless what anyone said or believed, her future after this baby was going to be limited. Everything that she had hoped for herself would have to be altered for 2, 3 with Fitz. It was a lot for any 18 year old to take in, let alone after the crazy months she had just endured. A part of her wondered if she would ever catch a break.

It was dark and starry when Olivia reached her dorm room. Abby was sitting on her bed, bags completely packed.

"Hey." She smiled awkwardly. "Can we talk for a second?"

Against her better judgement, Olivia nodded her head and took a seat on her own bed. "Sure."

"Look, I'm sorry for telling Fitz about our abortion talk. It wasn't my place and I realize that now. I was already angry with David and coming home to you two just made it so much worse."

"How?" Olivia raised her eyebrows.

"My best friend in high school got pregnant in her senior year. Her boyfriend was in his 3rd year of college, and engineering student. When she found out, I was the first person she told. We cried for hours and after it all she decided she was going to have an abortion. She made the appointment the next day. And yet when she told her boyfriend she magically realized that she wanted to keep the baby. I told her that her life was going to be over before it even started, that she would regret it. She completely ignored me, and now she's a single mom with no friends, no life, no money; nothing. She has nothing Olivia and she's not even the legal drinking age. Everything she does now is for her baby. She's going to be working a minimum wage job for the rest of her life, working paycheck to paycheck. Is that what you want?"

"Fitz isn't like that Abby. He loves me."

"He showed you who he was in front of all of us. No guys are different Liv. They're all the same. You're kidding yourself if you think he is." Abby sighed. "Whatever, this isn't about him, not really at least. This about you. The fact that he didn't give you the option to even discuss your options. He just assumed that you were going to keep the baby because he wants you to. Not once did he ask you what you wanted to do. The exact same thing happened to Stacy, and as much as you piss me off and irritate me, I don't wish that life upon anyone."

Olivia gulped slowly. She wasn't sure if Abby was being genuine or not, but the fact of the matter was, the girl was making sense. She had valid points, points that Olivia herself couldn't ignore. Fitz had assumed she would be fine with keeping the baby. Perhaps it was due to their age difference, but that didn't make it okay. It wasn't fair to her. This was her body, no matter what, she should have felt okay to discuss how she truly felt.

"Thanks." Liv said softly.

"Well I'm out. Whatever you decide to do, good luck I guess."

"Good luck to you too." Olivia breathed a breathe of relief as Abby wheeled her furniture and suitcases out of the room. In all honesty Liv needed the time alone to reflex and think. She had so much going on; so many opinions, truths and voices running through her head. She needed time to process just what was going on. She needed to make sure whatever she decided was best for her, and her future.

Jake was surprised as ever to find Olivia struggling out of the dorms with 3 suitcases at 11:56 pm. He inhaled the final drag of his cigarettes before chucking it to the ground. "Olivia?" He hadn't expected anyone to come out to the courtyard during his late night cigarette break, especially not her.

She looked, giving a half smile when she saw him. "Hey."

"Where ya headed?"

"I kinda dropped out."

Jake nodded. He wasn't completely surprised upon hearing news that she was pregnant. There was no way she could stay pregnant and in school. One of them had to give, he just wasn't sure she was giving up the right one. "Wow." He nodded his head.

"Don't try to hide the disappointment in your voice." She teased. "I know. I'm that girl. The one that gets pregnant and drops out all before first semester exams."

He shrugged his shoulders. "Not to me you're not." He walked towards her leaving a few feet of distance between them. "To me you're still the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, whose about the make the biggest mistake of her life."

"Jake..."

"You realized everything changes once you leave this place right?"

"You think I don't know that? I know that! And it scares the hell out of me! I'm terrified!"

"Then why are you doing it?"

"Because I love him."

He frowned, it finally all made sense to him. "He was your first, wasn't he?"

Her stomach dropped immediately. "Excuse me? Why the hell would you ask me that!"

"Because if he wasn't you'd know that love isn't enough. It's never enough. You've never had to experience a break up, or heart break."

"Jake you don't know him."

"I don't need to. He proved to all of us last night that he isn't good enough for you. It seems that everyone can see that but you. He's not ever going to be good enough for you Olivia. You need someone your age, someone with your mindset and outlook. You need someone who wants to have fun, not someone who's looking to get married. You're 18, you should be going to college bars with your friends, but you're choosing to go to New York and spend your weekends planning a wedding and choosing baby names."

"This conversation feels an awful lot like an attack so I think I'm just gonna get in my cab if you don't mind."

"No Olivia wait." He pleaded. "Look I'm not trying to attack you its just. I'd regret it if I didn't try one last time. I could make you happy Olivia. I know you don't think so right now, but I could. I'm sure you didn't think that about Fitz the first time you met him. You haven't given me a chance. And I need you to know that I still think you're amazing."

She smiled softly. "I really have to go Jake, but thank you. I need to leave and get my head together. I need to figure out what I'm going to do. But I do appreciate you saying that. As much as I don't want to hear it, you and Abby are making some sense. But I need you to know, he has my heart. I want to be with him, and only him."

Jake sighed, throwing all caution to the wind. He pressed his lips against her forehead, lingering there for a bit too long. Stepping back he gave her look of disappointment and defeat. "Take care of yourself Olivia."

"You too." She took up hold of her bags and made her way towards a taxi cab. Once inside a feeling of solace came over her as she left Brown University for the final time. Regardless of how stupid it sounded, her gut told her that leaving was the right thing to do. In all of her 18 years of life, her gut had yet to fail her.

He awoke to a loud banging at his front door. Fitz practically jumped out of his skin, being so abruptly awoken. Living in a loft above a restaurant in Chinatown, it was rare for anyone to knock at his door unannounced. Let alone at almost 4 am in the morning. So he dragged his tired body to the front door, opening it without checking the peep hole.

"Hi."

His eyes nearly bulged out of his head. "What.. Wait.. How?!" He was still practically asleep, confused as ever to have Olivia standing in his doorway with two suitcases.

"Are you going to let me in?"

He stepped aside, allowing her to come inside, before helping with the extra suitcases. "When did you get here? Why didn't you call? I could have met you at the station Olivia. It's late out and you're pregnant, you shouldn't be walking the streets alone."

She smiled softly. "I love you so much. Do you know that?"

He grinned from ear to ear. "I know."

"All day I've had people telling me how this isn't going to work and all I can think about is that I love you. Having a baby scares the absolute shit out of me, and I don't know if I can be a mother Fitz. I really don't. I want to believe that we can make this work. We're different, aren't we?"

"Yes." He said simply. "We've been through more than couples have over years, and its only brought us together. Of course we're different. We're it. You know it and I know it."

Looking into this bright blue eyes filled with admiration was all the confirmation she needed. "Okay. We'll lets have a baby then."

"I want you to be sure. I don't want you to feel pressure from me to have this baby. It was stupid of me not to assume you would consider your options. I should have asked you how you felt. I was just so happy I never thought to think about how scared you must be."

Getting on her tippy toes she kissed him. It was soft and warm and when she pulled away her insides tingled. "You love me right?"

"More than anything." He promised. "We'll figure this out Livvie. You were there for me when no one else was. Don't think for one second I won't be when you need me the most. You're the most important thing in my life."

She trusted him. She loved him. They were different, and they were going to make damn good parents. Placing his hand on her stomach, she smiled dreamily. "We're a family now. You, me and the baby."

"I wouldn't have it any other way."
